LOOK for sparks to fly in today’s feature $250,000 Stewards Cup as 14 top class sprinters vie for the title of Sprint King of the Southern Caribbean on Arima Race Club Day 41 at Santa Rosa Park, Arima,

Jockeyship will play a vital part in the winner or loser of this 1200 metres heat, and turfites are forewarned to back the horses ridden by the top jocks.

All that being said, the winner should come from among pre-race favourite Blackstone Street which will be ridden by ace Venezuelan rider Wilmer Galviz, Cactus Amour the mount of champion jockey Ricardo Jadoo and Sweet Alex to be ridden by 1996 top jockey Nela Mohammed.

The chances of Mister Kingston cannot be easily discounted and Jay Mike and Honest Hero could just be the ones to upset all calculations.

Turfites will see six new two-year-old “babes” in action in a 1000 metres sprint which is the first Hi 5 betting race.

This should go to Gold Bead who is making his second appearance, however, but Becausewecan looms a big danger.

There is a carryover purse of $31,853.86 in the Hi 5 with a single-winner bonus of $10,932.48 to be added.
