Marci’s Dreamer one turfites must note

But before this, there are two more day’s racing on September 9 and 16, before the September 25 Blue Riband events.

Despite this, trainers had their horses on the Santa Rosa Park, Arima, galloping on Wednesday morning even before the big Sagicor Independence Day programme.

Most of the runners seen out simply went through the motions blowing away the cobwebs.

But Marci’s Dreamer flashed some speed in a 400 metres gallop, stopping the clock at a very good 23.63 seconds, and should be kept on turfite’s short list.

Straight Ahead looked well in a very steady and handy gallop over the same trip in 26.57 seconds, and Island Runner must not be missed in his engagement as he cruised through the 400 metres distance in 27.44 seconds well in hand.

Mondy Up Front has been showing some improvement and this was gleaned in a 600 metres gallop in a handy 41.30 seconds.
