Calculus given the edge over rising star Blue Vinyl

- BY RUDDY ALLEN Staff reporter ruddya@jamaicaobs­erver.com

ON tomorrow’s 10-race card, the three-year-old and upwards Open Allowance call for the Seeking My Trophy is the top rated call on the day. A field of six exceptiona­l runners will compete over 7 ½ furlongs (1,500m), vying for the major share the $1.29 million total prize.

Below, The Supreme Racing Guide takes a closer look at each runner and their chances of success.

1. UNRULY BOSS: (5 ch h by Bern Identity – Force Factor) – Put in a decent effort at the races on last when finishing in third place, 3 ¾ lengths behind stablemate­s She’s My Destiny and Madelyn’s Sunshine in the Lady Geeta Trophy over 6 furlongs (1,200m). While that was an encouragin­g effort, Unruly Boss is not expected to put up another brave spin especially going a distance which is a tad long for him.

2. CAL CU LUS:(5bh by Sensationa­l Slam–Trinket Box) – Currently the champion stayer in the land. Calculus was just a length and three-quarters behind I Am Fred in the The Viceroy Trophy over one mile (1,600m) on April 22 after making strong headway in the deep stretch. Although he would prefer it longer than 7 ½ furlongs, Calculus should go well over the trip and could get up in time when it matters most. He, however, gives away a lot of weight to his rivals, which is strong determing factor.

3. MONEY MO NS TER:(6bg by Casual Trick–She’ s Traditiona­l) – Did well to win the recent King’s Plate over 7 furlongs (1,400m) at the Overnight Allowance level. Money Monster steps up to compete and is going to find it very difficult to repeat.

4. SISTREN TREASURE( USA ):(3 bf by Brethren– Katira) – Has no chance where winning is concerned.

5. RUNAWAY ALGO (USA): (4 ch c by Algorithms – Misunify) – Consistent and talented runner who was beaten into second place by I Am Fred in the Saint Cecelia Cup over 6 ½ furlongs (1,300m) on April 8. However, Runaway Algo was an easy 12-length winner of the “Lindy” Delapenha Memorial Trophy over a mile on February 26. Runaway Algo should report for this assignment in tip-top shape and is expected to fight to the end.

6. BLUE VINYL: (4 ch c by Bern Identity – Blufield) – Unbeaten in two starts this season so far. Blue Vinyl comes into this race after a 12 ½ length win in the Jamaica Veterinary Board World Vet Day Trophy over one mile on April 29. Blue Vinyl has shown tremendous improvemen­t this season, and so another good run is expected from him.
