Nuclear Noon, with Robert Halledeenaboard, is being led to the winners enclosure after winning Race Seven over 1400m at Caymanas Park on Saturday, May 22, 2021. (PHOTO: caymanasracing).
NUCLEAR NOON won in workman-like fashion but BIG JULE showed signs of inexperience to finish third behind the filly, AMY THE BUTCHER, and RUSTY in Saturday s last-chance races for 2000 Guineas hopefuls to strut their stuff ahead of next month s three-year-old classic for colts and geldings.
Chasing stablemates, speedy HOIST THE MAST, and GO DEH GIRL into the straight, NUCLEAR NOON closed willingly long the rail with Robert Halledeen.
The Nuclear Affair-Noon It Is colt charged at GO DEH GIRL, who had hit the front a furlong and a quarter out with Dane Nelson astride.

MINIATURE MAN, a 9-1 outsider trained by Jason DaCosta and ridden by Dick Cardenas, forced a dead heat with 4-5 favourite FURTHER AND BEYOND in Saturday s seven-and-a-half furlong Kingston for colts and geldings.
FURTHER AND BEYOND, who won the April 6, Prince Consort Stakes, by a short head over DaCosta s BILLY WHIZZ, was allowing MINIATURE MAN nine pounds in a bid for a fourth straight victory ahead of next month s 2000 Guineas at a mile.
The old racing adage, ‘weight stops trains’ will be tested by FURTHER AND BEYOND, who goes for a fourth straight win, allowing his three-year-old peers weight all around in Saturday’s Kingston at seven and a half furlongs.
The middle-distance event is the last major prep for colts and geldings ahead of next month’s 2000 Guineas following the April 6 Prince Consort Stakes, which FURTHER AND BEYOND won by a short head, reporting off a three-month lay-up, hassled at the wire by race-fit BILLY WHIZZ, who he allowed nine pounds.
Returning 11lb heavier for the rematch, going half-furlong longer, FURTHER AND BEYOND appears to have shaken off the Prince Consort Stakes ring rust, galloping strongly at exercise with four-year-old LET HIM FLY in his last two workouts from the mile chute.
