Tomorrow’s 10-race card at Caymanas Park features the highly anticipated $1.1-million Rimsky Trophy. This Restricted Allowance contest is open to native-bred three-year-olds (non-winners of two) and imported three-year-olds and upward (maidens).

The 6-furlong (1,200m) event has attracted a talented field, including two American-bred runners,
Fred The Master and Girvano, both trained by champion conditioner Jason DaCosta.

The Rimsky Trophy is the first race in the Betting, Gaming, and Lotteries Commission (BGLC)/Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association (TOBA) Three-year-old Millionaire Series.
