The lucrative Supreme Ventures two-year-old series comprising three races kicks off at Caymanas Park on Saturday, October 13, with the $2.95 million Cash Pot 'Only One For Me' Trophy over 1200 metres taking the spotlight.

The series will continue on Saturday, November 24 with the $3.6 million Pick-3 Super Challenge Trophy over 1400 metres, culminating on December 26 (Boxing Day) with the $4.25 million Supreme Ventures Jamaica 2-y-o Stakes over 1600 metres. The races are confined to native bred two-year-olds.

Supreme Ventures Limited has contributed a total of $6.5 million to purses, inclusive of the $1 million bonus to the horse good enough to win all three races in the series. Since its inception in 2005, no two-year-old has won all three races.

Three horses, however, have won two of the three races - RAMPAGE (2005), THE REAL STREAM (2007) and MISS RUTH (2008).

Last year, LADYLIKE won the Cash Pot 'Only One For Me' Trophy, EL PATRON the Pick-3 Challenge and ALL CORRECT the Jamaica 2-y-o Stakes.
