Willing To Spend skips Stewards’ Cup

But the quick-stepping filly will be attempting to score her tenth victory on the trot in the 1300 metres sprint handicap for West Indies Bred three-year-olds and over instead.

But the Stewards’ Cup will still grab the interest of turfites with last year’s winner Storm Street throwing down the gauntlet to Mainframe, winner of his two starts to date, fleet-footed Sweet Alex, Divine Bull and the still improving Moygaddy one of two runners owned by Merlin Samlalsingh and trained by Harriram “ Pepsi” Gobin.

Also down to face the starter in the 1200 metres race worth a total of $250,000 is French-bred Sweet Love who will be making his debut.

Returning to racing after a rest will be turf course specialist Funky Likeah Train, who will be going after the $70,000 1600 metres turf race where she will face old foes Godspell and Chief Commander along with Jamaican-bred El Paso City, a very easy winner on Saturday last.

There are 17 runners entered for the popular Southern Medical Clinic Ltd- sponsored Hi 5 with the guaranteed $50,000 pool, while there will be a bonus of over $41,000 to a single winner.

And exciting eioght-race programme awaits turfites at Santa Rosa Park on Saturday, beginning with a 1000 metres race for West Indies-bred two-year- old maidens.
