Jockey of the Day, Dumbai Qualis sits astride The Chosen One

The Chosen One?s reign at the Cassada Gardens Race Track was proven without doubt in the feature race on Sunday over 9 furlongs dubbed Dr Errol Cort?s Carnival Classic.

In the day?s most anticipated race, The Chosen One waited for the last furlong to ease past Mr Big Stuff which controlled most of the race along with newly imported Vybz Kartel to cross the finish line by just a head length in a time of 152.64 seconds.

But newly imported Vybz Kartel?s jockey Clair Wilkins cried foul on Mr Big Stuff?s jockey Jeff Jacobs. However, Dumbai Qualis, The Chosen One?s jockey was not concerned and finished first in successive races.

The fans were very impressed with Vybz Kartel although he settled for second place.

Heated arguments developed between persons of the The Chosen One?s Chief Rocker Stables and First Choice Stables of Vybz Kartel over the race.

The races actually got started late with 9 runners in the G2 over 5 furlongs.

In the second race of the day, the F2 and Lower over 6 furlongs for the Vybz FM trophy, Better Moment narrowly edged out Bullet to cross the finish line in a time of 118.52 seconds.
