We Jammin has no equal in the Kingston

The horse to beat WE JAMMIN does not exist in Saturday’s Kingston, a race in which none of the runners he outclassed prior managed to improve on their placing in subsequent defeats to the Triple Crown favourite.

Take, for example, BIGGER BOSS, eight lengths behind WE JAMMIN in last December’s Jamaica Two-Year-Old Stakes, a quarter length closer in April’s Prince Consort, flattered by the winner being eased down.

Next up, FERNANDO, seven and three-quarter behind in the Jamaica Two-Year-Old Stakes, nine and a quarter length in the Prince Consort. DASH ALL DAY, another Anthony Nunes runner, finished an insignificant five and a quarter lengths behind WE JAMMIN in the Prince Consort.

Gary Subratie’s GOD PLAN was eight lengths behind WE JAMMIN in the Jamaica Two-Year-Old Stakes, stretched to a dozen in the Prince Consort.

Richard Azan’s SENOR BISCOTTI didn’t start off all that badly, a neck behind when inexperienced WE JAMMIN met him on debut at seven furlongs, which became 22 lengths in the Jamaica Two-Year-Old Stakes 13 days later, followed by 12 lengths in the Prince Consort.

It gets even worse for Jason DaCosta’s LONDON SPIRIT, who was three and a quarter behind at seven furlongs, 11 off in the Jamaica Two-Year-Old Stakes, and a distant 30 in the Prince Consort.

Subratie’s STARDOM got his baptism of fire, meeting WE JAMMIN on his third start, resulting in an 11-length sixth-place finish in the Prince Consort. THE MAESTRO, WE JAMMIN’s stablemate, won his first race, third outing, on the same day the Triple Crown favourite trampled rivals in the Prince Consort, clocking a six-furlong split of 1:12.1.

Finally, Subratie’s SALUTE THE DON, who twice bravely tried matching strides with WE JAMMIN, the Jamaica Two-Year-Old Stakes, can be comforted by the additional three-quarter lengths he lost in the Prince Consort after being five lengths behind in December.

Thus sums up the race for second behind WE JAMMIN in the Kingston at seven and a half furlongs.
