A tale of two halves sees rain give way to sunshine as 130 horses hit the track under newly installed floodlights.
This morning's training session began under cloudy skies with light intermittent rain, before clearing up to sunshine by the end a classic tale of two halves in terms of weather.
Floodlights in Action
The big news of the day is the return of the floodlights. Already installed around the track thanks to COIREC and under the supervision of the MTC training kicked off early at 05:45.
Training Activity Overview
Approximately 130 horses were out on the track this morning. Super Excited (S. Mahadia) was the first to leave his stable, setting the tone for a productive session.
Horses from the Vincent Allet, Gujadhur, Rameshwar Gujadhur, Samraj Mahadia, Arveen Nagadoo, Vicky Ruhee, and Amar Sewdyal yards underwent fast workouts. Meanwhile, horses from other stables stuck to trotting and cantering, with plans for galloping tomorrow.
Notable Workouts
- Juniper Lane (S. Mahadia) was the first to gallop this morning.
- He was followed by Grand Bay and Wugug (Gujadhur), who worked as a pair.
- Newcomers Havana Moon and Kaisarissa (R. Gujadhur) impressed in a strong 800-metre workout together. Their veteran stablemates The Gatekeeper and Elmo also worked together, with the former making up ground on his sparring partner in the final straight.
- Walls Of Dubrovnik (V. Ruhee) showed complete satisfaction in his workout over 400 metres. Stablemate Zum Zum worked over 200 metres as he continues his preparation for a return to competition.
