COME SATURDAY, red and white will be the colour of choice and the Garrison Savannah is the place to be as the Barbados Turf Club stages its fourth day of the first racing season, the Valentine Day Race Card.
This nine-race card, which swings into the fast lane at 1 p.m., has attracted 114 entrants of which 22 are reserves. Fans will have to wait until race No. 7 to witness the day’s feature event, the Valentine’s Day Handicap over 1 570 metres for four-year-old and older horses rated 110-92 and open to those rated 91 and below.
It can be called the forerunner race as it pits together potential candidates that will compete in the March 7 pattern races, namely the Gold Cup, Tanglewood Stakes and the Spa Sprint Stakes; it most likely will produce something very special. Â
