Watch Game High in Friday Lime

GAME HIGH is ready for the Arima Race Club “Friday Lime” at Santa Rosa Park, Arima, on Friday afternoon.

The Chester Roberts-trained gelding stepped 1000 metres in an excellent 1:02.8 seconds yesterday morning, and must have galloped  himself  into the reckoning for the feature Mr Solo Restricted Handicap over 1350 metres. This bay Pierpont WH Scott-owned horse by Windy Hill/Sonoric must be consisered in the $21,000 event, where he will tangle with speedsters Tactical Bid, Piece Of Cake and Bite De Bullet. With 51.5 kilos in his saddlebags and Rajpaul Rajkumar to guide him, Game High should give a very good account of himself, showing he was rounding into his best form when fifth in his last outing. Also showing good form at the gallops yesterday was Born To Charm who flashed some speed over 400 metres, completing the trip in 25.2 seconds, but is not engaged Friday. Another showing good speed over 600 metres was Wild Life who holds the engagement in the Mobil Heatwave Handicap for West Indies-bred three-year-old non-winners over 1250 metres. This filly, trained by Patrick de Freitas for owner Marilyn Miller went over 600 metres in a good 37 seconds flat. The disappointing Copy Cat also turned in a good gallop over 400 metres in 27.4 seconds, and is one to note for the Matrix West Indies-bred three-year-old maidens over 1200 metres, which carries a purse of $22,000. Also seen out doing light work was Top Of The Class who will be attempting to win the triple crown in next month’s Royal Oak Derby. He went over 800 metres in a comfortable 57.3 seconds. There will be seven races on Friday, with each taking on the name of a powerboat to launch the annual Great Race.
