Trainer Jason DaCosta holds the aces in Anthony Tyson Trophy
In the $1.01-million Anthony Tyson Trophy, champion trainer Jason DaCosta has the upper hand to victory with four of the six horses entering in Sunday’s native-bred, two-year-old maiden special weight race over four-and-a-half furlongs (900 metres).
DaCosta will saddle Fastnfuriouslinks, Comehometome, Himaya, and Princess Heartbeat in the race. The other two runners, Indestructible and Bank Craft are trained by Phillip Elliott.
The Jamaica Observer‘s The Supreme Racing Guide takes a closer look at each runner and their chances of winning.
1. FASTNFURIOUSLINKS: (2 gr/rn f by Casual Trick – Another Fury) – Well-bred filly who is out for the first time this season. Fastnfuriouslinks has been working well for her debut run and from all indictaions, she could open her account right away.
2. INDESTRUCTIBLE: (2 b c by Successful Native – Rudy Girl) – Gave a good account of himself on debut when finishing third by just two lengths behind Lucy in the Sky and Himaya over three furlongs (600m) on August 26. With Himaya presence here, the chances of Indestructible winning are very slim. Note: Visor off.
3. COMEHOMETOME: (2 b f by Northern Giant – Heart of Gold) – Finished fourth on debut behind stablemates Digital One and Banadura over five-and-a-half furlongs (1,100m) on October 7. Since then Comehometome has looked much better at exercise and with nothing in the line-up looking as good as Digital One or Banadura, she could lead home rivals here.
4. BANK CRAFT: (2 b c by Storm Craft – D’Angel) – Has not done anything at exercise to suggest that Bank Craft has a chance of winning here.
5. HIMAYA: (2 rn f by Casual Trick – Raksha) – The most experienced runner in the line-up with four starts. Himaya‘s best effort was a second-place finish to stablemate Lucy in the Sky over three furlongs on August 26. She is going to be left behind in this one.
6. PRINCESS HEARTBEAT: ( 2 rn f by Fearless Vision – Heart Beat) – Nicely-bred filly who is surely going to make a favourable impression here.
