Jamaica Derby-winner, KING ARTHUR, is the overwhelming favourite for Saturday’s Jamaica Racing Commission’s (JRC) World Vet Day Trophy at a mile for overnight allowance runners at Caymanas Park.
Racing for the first time under the care of Jason DaCosta since the passing of his father, 18-time champion trainer, Wayne DaCosta, KING ARTHUR reported off a three-month on April 8 to post a fast-time win at five furlongs straight, clocking an eye-popping 57.0.
United States-bred EXCESSIVE FORCE, who was a well-measured second, returned to beat non-winners-of-four at a mile by 10 lengths in 1:39.4, two-fifths slower than the 1:39.2 ONEOFAKIND clocked to beat the best runners in the country on Friday.
