With Wednesday's mid-week programme at Caymanas Park produ-cing two stunning upsets in JCD SLEW (250-1) and ASK JOE (51-1), the Pick-9 not surprisingly had no takers.
The carryover is still $1 million, but additional sales should push the payout in the region of $1.5 million. Meanwhile, one lucky punter walked away with the whopping Super-6 first prize of $1.2 million embracing races five to 10.
Tomorrow's 12-race programme will facilitate two Super-6s, while the Pick-9 runs from race three to 11.
One to beat
We take a brief look at the second Super-6 which gets under way in the seventh race over 1600 metres for four-year-olds and up.
The one to beat must surely be LADY RAKWALWAAY to be ridden by title-chasing jockey Shane Ellis for veteran trainer Harry Jaghai.
The four-year-old filly won over 1800 metres on March 1 and last time out, failed by half a length to stave off PRINCESS ZANAI over 2000 metres. She should lead home ROYAL BLAST in the field of seven.
MISTER OFFICER, who has been knocking at the door in recent races, should finally release his maiden certificate in the eighth race for the ePhone Keep Di Link Trophy over 1400 metres, one of two major races sponsored by the Anbell Group on the card.
BONNIE'S VICTORY, now dropped in class and working fairly well, gets the nod over LATIN KING and the rejuvenated hat-trick seeker SHAHID in the ninth, while it should be the straight specialist ABOUNDING GRACE in the 10th, the 2000 Guineas third MINISTEROFJUSTICE ahead of the improving GAMBOA in the 11th for the ePhone To Di World Trophy (feature race) over 1820 metres and UNBRIDLED JOY in the closing race for the Portmore Community Trophy.
