Speedy Cinco De Mayo gallop

CINCO DE MAYO rocketed out of the boxes to clock a good 36.49 seconds, as trainers kept their charges on the move at Santa Rosa Park, Arima, preparing for the Arima Race Club Day 12 programme on April 30. Unforgivable continues to flash speed when galloping over 400 metres completed in 25 seconds flat, while Winnie returned in 27.04 for the same tripThe Jamaican-bred Footwork, out of champion trainer John O’Brien’s barn, had a handy spin over 1000 metres in one minute 09.74 seconds.

Many of the other horses did pace work, but Fabulous Risk who holds the engagement in the feature Santa Rosa Dash over 1200 metres, looked very lively. He romped over 1000 metres in one minute 10.33 seconds begging for his head. Another to catch the eye yesterday morning was maiden Fresh Appearnce who galloped over 600 metres in a handy 39.00 seconds. Also seen out yesterday was Arts And Lovers who was carrying a lovely coat. The champion two-year-old filly merely paced over 600 metres in 44.97 seconds. And Flying Millie who beat her last time out, was sent pacing 800 metres which she completed in 59.49 seconds.
