Golden girl Burrowes

0

JALISA BURROWES won two gold medals to make a great start for the tenth anniversary of the Austin Sealy Invitational Trac Classic yesterday afternoon at the National Stadium.

Burrowes, a member of host club BC Trac, won the Under-15 Girls’ 300 metre hurdles in 49:37 seconds from clubmate Danielle Scantlebury (52:00) seconds and Fast Lane’s (British Virgin Islands) Shana-Kay Wheatley (55:40).

Burrowes capitalised on a fast start and better hurdling technique to lead the race all the way. She returned to win the long jump with a leap of 4.95 metres, followed by Scantlebury (4.66m) again and Renike Daniel from the Nevis club, Gladiators. Daniel had a best of 4.12 metres.

Pacers’ Thorrold Murray was chasing 2.18 metres in the long jump to qualify for the Central American and Caribbean Games, but he fell short with a best clearance of 2.10 metres. Kemar Jones of Quantum Leap was second at 2.00 metres and Kevin Jones of Elite Distance took bronze with 1.80m.

Keron Arthur of Vinsec (St Vincent) won gold in the Under-17 Boys’ division with 1.65 metres while Brandon Hope of Rising Stars was second with 1.60 metres.

Back on the track, CARIFTA Games silver medallist Tramaine Maloney (56:63) and bronze medallist Dario Scantlebury (56:91) were one-two in the Under-17 Boys’ 400 metre hurdles. Scantlebury had the better start, but Maloney gradually reeled him in and was in full control by the seventh barrier.

Combermere’s Roger Bailey was third in 57 seconds flat, forcing Scantlebury to run at the end.

Tarikah Warner, the lone female competitor in the Girls’ division, was clocked at 1 minute 11:49 seconds.

Ryan King of Pacers won the men’s race in 54:02 seconds, doing all of the running over the last 200 metres. Ricardo Todd of Rising Stars had a clear lead for most of the race, but as he faded down the stretch, King surged to the front. Todd was second in 54:19 and Rhys Phillips of Rising Stars third in 56:80.

Anchored by Leah Barker, Elite Distance won the Under-15 Girls’ 4×100 metre relay in 51:82 seconds from Gladiators (52:77) and BC Trac (53:29).

With a good lead leg from Alec Bruce and finish by Dylan Caddle, Pacers won the boys’ event in 47:59 seconds. Rising Stars were second in 48:33 and Elite Distance third in 48:70.

In the early session, qualifying heats were also held in the 400 metres and 100 metres for the finals which were scheduled for later last night. The meet continues at 3 p.m. today.

SHOWDOWN AT OVAL

0

FOUR CAPTAINS got a chance to hold onto the two ICC World Twenty20 trophies at Kensington Oval yesterday.

Only two of them will have that privilege tonight after the finals of the third edition of the tournament is played out.

The men’s showdown brings together awesome Australia and impressive England at 11:30 a.m.At 4 p.m., it will be the women’s battle between Trans Tasman rivals Australia and New Zealand.

On the evidence of earlier matches in the tournament, both finals should be highly competitive.

Here, Australia women’s captain Alex Blackwell (left) joins her New Zealand opposite number Aimee Watkins in holding the trophy, while England men’s skipper Paul Collingwood (second right) is joined by his Australian rival Michael Clarke. (Picture by Kenmore Bynoe)

Richards blasts off

0

DALE RICHARDS welcomed the new season with a blistering 103 as TeleBarbados Carlton plundered the Barbados Youth bowling attack en route to a whopping 444 for seven off just 70 overs on the opening day of the 2010 Barbados Cricket Association Division 1 Competition yesterday.

Richards’ hundred at Cane Garden came in 80 minutes off 67 balls and was laced with ten sixes and six fours. He shared in an opening partnership of 166 with Vonrick Nurse who reached 80.

Further half-centuries from captain Marlon Graham (68 not out) and Alex Bridgeman (56 not out), aided by a useful 49 from Amal Nurse, helped Carlton to reach their mammoth total.

– EVANS HINKSON AT THE BREWERY:

Keegan Alleyne almost had the distinction of scoring a hundred in his first game as captain but he fell six runs short as Banks, sent in by ICBL Empire, were dismissed for a respectable 254.

At stumps, Empire were 92 for three. Jason Haynes was unbeaten on 41, including six fours and one six, made at a run-a-ball.

Earlier, Alleyne, playing against his former club, went to tea with his personal score on 43 and the total on 181 for five, before he became the last man out, magnificently caught at extra-cover by Haynes off Shawn Graham who claimed three for 45.

His impressive knock of 94 was decorated with seven fours and five sixes, in 155 minutes, from 131 balls. Openers Kofie Hurdle (17) and new recruit Martin Nurse put on 36 in quick time and Banks kept scoring rapidly.

Nurse, who struck 41 from 69 deliveries with five fours, then added 60 for the second wicket with Michael Maynard in 5.1 overs. Maynard smashed a cameo 44, spiced with four fours and four sixes.Jason Hinds picked up four for 60.

– ELVIS HOWARDAT TRENTS:

CGI Maple enjoyed the better of the exchanges against the defending champions Sagicor UWI.

After winning the toss and asking UWI to take first knock on a slow pitch, Maple dismissed the champions for a paltry 138, and responded positively, reaching 40 for one by the close.

UWI never really recovered from the loss of early wickets, slumping to 36 for five at one stage, and despite a fighting sixth-wicket stand of 71 between Ryan Austin (55), and former Barbados Under-19 batsman Raymon Reifer, 35, the lower half of the batting fell away.

Off-spinner Shane Ramsay (four for 42 off 20 overs) and medium-pacer Sudrey Depeiza (three for 34) were the most successful bowlers for Maple.

– LOUIS HOLDER AT WILDEY:

Old Brigand Dover experienced the wiles of LIME’s leg-spinner Nikolai Charles immediately on their Division 1 debut, but did well enough to reach 218 all out in 68.5 overs after being sent in.

In four overs before the close, Dover took the wicket of Kevon Beckles as the home team finished on eight for one. Charles continued his wicket-taking form of last season, claiming five for 67 from 22 overs. 

Amory Holder brushed aside the lower order to finish with three for 14 off 6.5 overs.

Veteran Wilbur Bruce, playing his first Division 1 game in more than a decade, played enterprisingly for 35 and featured in a fourth-wicket stand of 52 off 83 balls with Shane Jones (23). Another old-stager, Vibert Greene, made an unbeaten 37.

– PHILIP HACKETTAT QUEEN’S PARK:

Fifteen wickets fell for 258 runs from 68.4 overs as Super Centre Spartan and Police battled for early honours.

The lawmen fought their way to 160 all out in 41.4 overs, with hard-hitting all-rounder Larry Babb leading the way with a typically belligerent knock of 39, before reducing their hosts to 98 for five by the close.

Spartan lost two early wickets in their reply before opener Andre Small (38) and Shamarh Brooks (26 not out) steadied the innings in a third-wicket stand worth 52.

However, three late wickets by off-spinner Jason Smith brought Police right back into contention.

– WAYNE HOLDER AT BAYFIELD:

St Catherine captain and off-spinner Kenroy Williams opened the season with a five-wicket haul that restricted YMPC to 191. By the close, however, the visitors responded well by capturing half of the hosts’ wickets for 103 runs.

Williams brought himself into the attack as the last of the six bowlers, just when YMPC were gathering runs quickly on an equally fast outfield.

His first delivery brought him the prized wicket of Dwayne Smith, after he had struck six fours and two sixes off 51 balls to score 55.

Smith was involved in a third-wicket partnership with Matthew King, who topscored with 57, including 11 fours, from 51 balls.

– ANCILLE INNISS AT FOURSQUARE OVAL:

Steady bowling, led by Adiko Collymore, trumped a half-century from Renaldo Arthur and stubborn lower-order batting to allow ESA Field Pickwick to claim full bowling points from Wanderers.

Collymore was Pickwick’s most successful bowler with four for 31 from 14 overs. Rasheed Edwin supported with three for 60 from 20.5 overs, and Ryan Layne took two for 40 from 14 overs.

Wanderers, sent in to bat on a helpful pitch, were dismissed for 177 in their first innings just before the close.

Arthur struck four boundaries in the top score of 51 from 111 balls in just under 2 1/2 hours.He added 65 for the fourth wicket with his captain Ian Bradshaw.

Chad Clarke-Reifer stroked a resolute 46 not out, leading a rearguard recovery after Wanderers had plunged to 96 for seven.

First win for Migun Temple

0

UNDER CLOUDY SKIES and on a soft race track, three-year-old bay colt Migun Temple handed in his maiden certificate with a superb three-and-three-quarter lengths victory in the feature race, The Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company Trophy, over 7.8 furlongs at the Garrison Savannah yesterday.

Confidently ridden by Anderson Trotman, the Andrew Nunes-trained horse was last going around the top turn, but made a dramatic finish to earn the top prize.

The field was led – through early fractions of 24 and 4/5  for the quarter mile, 50 and 2/5 for the half-mile and 1.17 and 1/5 – by Run Alke Run who enjoyed a two-length lead while being pursued by Quick City and Reward Me.

These positions remained unchanged going down the backstretch.

But as they approached the two-furlong marker, Run Alke Run began to weaken, while Reward Me and Mingun Temple made rapid progress towards the leader. Locally bred Up The Ante could also be seen making a run from down the field. 

On entering the homestretch, Reward Me brought the field into the straight with Quick City and Mingun Temple on the outside playing catch-up.

Another gear

But the impressive colt had another gear and stormed away from his opponents for the illusive victory to stop the clock at 1:40 4/5, while Up The Ante (Reshawn Latchman) came from a long ways back to snatch second ahead of Reward Me (Kenny John) and Quick City (Antonio Bishop) held on for the fourth-place position.

Winning trainer Andrew Nunes said Migun Temple had been working excellently and was improving with each workout.

Jockey Trotman said he got a bit of bumping early on, and decided to allow the colt to settle. He said he gradually picked his spot and by the time they reached the two-furlong marker he knew the race was all over.

Francis Vanlangendonck, vice-president of The Ocala Breeders Sales Company, witnessed the day’s races with Luther Miller III. vice-president of the Barbados Turf Club.

Preach To Me gave jockey Trotman his third winner on the card with a powerful win in The Lost In The Fog Trophy ahead of Who’s To Say (Jolan Samuel), while the favourite Sharp Impact (Antonio Bishop) was third and Peaceful Envoy was fourth.

Apprentice jockey Jonathan Grant recorded a double with Kimanshia and Wash Brook in The Saratoga County Trophy  and the Silver Charm Trophy respectively, both at 7.8 furlongs, while trainer Liz Deane earned wins with Golden Moment and Preach To Me for owner Sir David Seale.

Trainer Nunes’ second winner was Local Speed, who won The Ginger Punch Trophy, the opening event on the day’s card.

Looking At Lucky wins

0

BALTIMORE, Maryland – Lookin At Lucky won the Preakness Stakes yesterday, ending Super Saver’s bid to become the first United States Triple Crown winner in 32 years.

Lookin At Lucky moved into contention in the final turn and sprinted to the finish ahead of First Dude by three-quarters of a length.

His victory means horse racing will have to wait at least another year for its first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978. Jackson Bend was third and Yawanna Twist was fourth.

Super Saver won the Kentucky Derby by 2 1/2 lengths with Calvin Borel in the saddle and riding the rail. This time, Borel was back aboard the three-year-old bay colt, but didn’t get to the rail – his signature trip.

Super Saver finished eighth, only the second time in eight career races that he failed to finish in the money.

Lookin At Lucky was favoured in the Derby, but finished sixth on a sloppy track. The horse was ridden by Martin Garcia, who replaced Garrett Gomez after Lucky’s disappointing Derby run.

Lookin At Lucky paid US$6.80, $4.60 and $3.80. The winning time was 1:55.47 over 1 3/16 miles (1 ,900 metres).

First Dude returned $16.60 and $9.20, and Jackson Bend paid $6.60. Dublin finished fifth, ahead of Paddy O’Prado and Caracortado. Then came Super Saver, followed by Schoolyard Dreams, Aikenite, Pleasant Prince and Northern Giant.

It was the ninth Triple Crown win for trainer Bob Baffert and his fifth Preakness win, tied for second place with D. Wayne Lukas. Gomez was aboard Lukas’ Dublin, who broke poorly from the 12th post and was not a factor. (AP)

PUDDING & SOUSE: Movie blues on Channel 8

0

The switchboard has been busy for the past few weeks complaining about the sub-standard quality  of the programming from our “friends” in The Pine.Channel 8 has become a playground for re-runs and second rate shows such as My Name Is Earl, Life On Mars and Burnt Notice.Fans say while they enjoy Prison Break, the series has finished and CBC is still into the first season. They are also asking why the 2007 first season of Best Years is being repeated.They also want to know why Shark is being shown twice a week and nothing super can be seen like Smallville.CBC has genuinely become the home of stale shows.Mum put on sick leaveA fat woman has stopped her sick mother from working alongside her.That’s because there are strange marks on the skin of mummy, who had a young bilingual boyfriend who died  a few years ago.Both mother and daughter adore young boys and live to support them.The problem is both mother and daughter seem to choose young  good-looking boys, who will do anything with anybody for money.Hot fishFish are so expensive in Oistins these days that a man took three  of his friends there and didn’t get back any change from $100.That’s because a container, and it doesn’t have much in it, can cost as much as $25. The embarrassed man had to turn to his friends to buy drinks as he simply did not have another cent.He and many others who have been ripped off say the area still has a large crowd every Friday because the emphasis is on the tourists.Men on the prowlThere is a place that is being frequented by several lawless men almost every day and night because there is a young girl working there.The nuisance minibus men and others need to know that they are looking for the same thing the sly, slim girl is looking for.Fed-up taxi menTaxi men who operate at Second Street, St James, say a driver who actually works in the public service  is driving them crazy.Apparently this tall, imposing man has been operating his taxi for over a year even though it is against the rules of the public service to have a second job.Angry taxi men said they could have overlooked this indiscretion but the man seems bent on driving them out  of business.For instance, he charges less than the other drivers and is always out to steal their customers by bad-mouthing them.Taxi drivers want to know how much time he really spends doing his legitimate job since he is always driving his taxi even when he was on sick leave with a broken hand.They want his boss to arrest this situation because it gets out of hand.Cheating teacherThere is a school teacher who seems intent on bedding the entire male staff at her school. She cheated on her husband with one teacher, and now that he has left she is repeating the dose with another.But while she is acting as though she is a teenager, little does she know that her new beau has her about number six on his list which includes some  of her students.

MAVIS BECKLES: Breaking own rules

0

It is amazing how people does be making their own rules, setting up their own scenes, expecting you and me tuh live by dem, and then duh does turn around and break dem. Like the very same things they tell you not tuh do they turn around and do? I suppose it is a case of “do as I say and not as I do”.Leh we start wid the highest office and take for example what continues tuh happen in the House of Assembly week after week wid the politicians from both sides, doing a whole lot o’ foolishness.Now the way how things going, it is very sad tuh see that not one o’ dem politicians – old or young, green or stalwart – cahn tell the other one tuh come back and evah  one o’ dem out tuh  all like pop kites. But mind you, duh laying down rules of discipline fuh evahthing and evahbody including the PSV people, the vendors, the schoolchildren and the bus system; as I said, evah single thing, but all o’ dem doing as they very well like, when they like and how they like. Now dat is so sad.And what about the people who call demselves parents, people who God trusted with children tuh nurture and guide and help dem tuh grow and develop into good decent grounded and rounded individuals; wha’ bout these people?While they have some who take this role of parenting seriously and continue tuh lead and live their lives as examples for not only theirs but other people children tuh follow, there are the ones, pon the other hand, who doan seem tuh understand the true role of a parent.Sometimes it looks tuh me like some o’ dem doan even seem tuh understand dat these are the same children who ain’t gine stan’ small but gine grow into adults wid everything dat parents, good or bad deposit in dem.Double standards Then duh gine do the same exact thing dat we parents taught dem, and since you me and evahbody else will be old by then, they bless we or cut we tail wid it.And why not? Wha’ we adults are the ones who laying down the rules, setting the tone and pace, wid all kinds o’ double standards and expecting evahbody, especially the younger generation,  tuh follow. We allowing all kinds o’ cultures like scarfs, cellphones, short skirts, elaborate hair styles, and teachers not allowed tuh discipline on the spot tuh subtly filter in tuh the schools and the system.We adopting all kinds o’ garbage covered up wid glitter and allowing it tuh take root; then when it starts tuh take off and spread like love vine, we start back tracking, trying tuh set other rules tuh cover up or undo these rules, and more often than nought, try tuh blame somebody else fuh  the damage.I like dat cartoon in the Saturday paper wid the caption, How The Youth Get So? How ya mean how duh get so? We put duh so, dem ain’t born so, dem learn it from we, dem come along and see and hear it from we. How many years I was writing this column now?  I know dat for as long as I have been writing it, I have been saying dat our leaders, be it B, D or N, have always allowed the horse tuh bolt outta the stable before dem playing dem running gine tuh shut a door Hello! The horse done gone long a’ready,  the damage done do.How I could shut out Mavado and Vybes Kartel and doing the same thing in the house dat dem preaching? How I could tell my child not tuh get a tattoo when I got my whole body scrawl up? How I could tell you tuh go tuh school and get a good education, get a good job and become a model citizen when I sitting pon my tail day in and day out wasting time? How I could tell my girl child tuh keep she self tuh she self, take her time and wait fuh the right person who will love and respect her tuh come along but all she seeing is you dressing in the tightest latest clothes and weaves, going out fêteing every weekend and bringing in all kinds o’ undesirables including the ones who gine interfere wid her and destroy her innocence while you turn  a blind eye just fuh  the money?And we continue tuh make the rules and then break the rules but fuhget that these same double standards gine come back tuh cut we tail eventually; which is happening all like now so.• Mavis Beckles was born and raised in The Orleans and has an opinion on everything.
