IT’S NOW DOWN to 12 nominees for this year’s running of the Sandy Lane Barbados Gold Cup.
Four horses have dropped out of contention at the second and final subscription stage for the March 5 event to be held at the Garrison Savannah.
However, interest remains extremely high for the southern Caribbean’s most prestigious horse race, now entering its 35th year, with the defending champion owners Kenneth and Sarah Ramsey still holding the ace with their four nominees, headed by Sayler’s Creek.
Around the track and in racing circles the buzz centres on the possibility of seeing for the first time on Barbadian soil two recent Breeders’ Cup runners in Ramsey’s Shining Copper and Gay Smith’s War Envoy going head to head.
