A hot pace is expected in Saturday’s Alexander Hamilton Trophy at a mile, giving Gary Subratie’s rejuvenated stayer, CRIMSON, a sound chance of catching the speedsters in the stretch run at Caymanas Park.
CRIMSON is up against lightning-fast four-year-old filly, ENGLAND’S ROSE, as well as three renowned sprinter-stayers – SUPERLUMINAL, ROY ROGERS, and JAMAI RAJA.
ENGLAND’S ROSE is by far the quickest in the eight-horse line-up but will have to be throttled at the distance, having never raced beyond last Saturday’s six and a half furlongs in the Eileen Cliggott Memorial.
