ONE FOR JODY...there's popular jockey Jody Arneaud astride Pride And Passion after victory in the race for TT bred three-year-old maidens on Saturday ...

OLD man Chief Commander is all set and ready for allcomers in the forthcoming President’s Cup.

The old stager showed this when he stepped 1000 metres together with stablemate Mythical King to clock one minute 00.4 seconds at Santa Rosa Park, Arima, yesterday morning.

Cobalt Star who also holds the engagement in the 1900 metres race had a handy run over 400 metres in 26.3 seconds. Wrathed who is entered for the Optional Claiming 1200 metres on Saturday had a steadying run over 1000 metres in a handy one minute 06.3 seconds and must not be overlooked.

Sea Rockette who holds the same engagement paced over 600 metres in 44.4 seconds.

But newcomer Flower Girl who is entered for the day’s finale for three-year-old maidens sprinted through 400 metres in 27.2 seconds.

Meanwhile, for the second consecutive day leading apprentice Ronald Ali will be on the sidelines recovering from a knee injury.

And top jockey Brian Harding will miss his second day on Saturday, riding in neighbouring Caymanas Park, Jamaica.

He will be in the saddle of Anastasia in the rich Jamaica Derby and will also partner last year’s Derby winner Alsafra among his seven rides on the 12- race card on Saturday.
