DORSETT’S victory in Saturday’s Sandy Lane Barbados Gold Cup wasn’t only a triumph for the Trinidadian owners but a further boost for Barbados’ staging of the Caribbean’s premier horse race.

After congratulating winning owners Steve and Allan Madoo, Lashley said that their win was a victory for the Gold Cup. He pointed out that the race has attracted some high-quality international competition and added that it was a big bonus that a Caribbean owner has won it this year.
“I think the Sandy Lane Gold Cup has established a global brand,” said Lashley.
