Honor Bound to tote topweight Saturday

CELEBRATION TIME and Honor Bound will carry topweight in the two handicap events framed on the Arima Race Club Day 21 card at Santa Rosa Park, Arima, on Saturday.

Celebration Time, who ran a blinder to fill the runner-up spot behind Top Of The Class in the CLICO Midsummer Classic has been allotted 56.5 kilos in his event, while Honor Bound who has raced sparingly this season was handed the 57.5 kilos for his assignment over 1100-metres on the turf course. Celebration Time who represents the youngest generation in the 1750 metres for West Indian bred three-year-olds and over has been asked to hand out three kilos to nearest rival Isle Be There and as much as 10 to Sweet Laura Lee. In the other Handicap weights were allotted for both courses. The dash which attracted 13 runners will see Honor Bound spotting  In Swinger one kilo and bottomweight Emelda M 13 on the turf. But should heavy showers force a switch to the main course the Kenneth De Silva trainee will tote the same weight but will give 3.5 kilos to his closest rival and 13 to his cellar weighted opponent.
