James Long (RIP), Ed Barnes, War Zone, Charles Hussey, Bunny Bucknor, Kathy Sweeney…fantastic memories. Listen to the crowd buzzing with excitement. Hopefully local racing will get back to & surpass those days some day
The legendary Charles Hussey, he left Jamaica before I started to follow horse racing but I moved to America in 1987 and ironically a few days after I came to America, Florida my I went to the track, I saw him on a horse name “ True Tan” he won at about 35-1 but I did not bet on hi, I also saw another great Jamaica jockey, Michael Lee who was a top rider at Calder and Gulfstream race tracks, I also heard a lot about him when I was a youth growing up in Jamaica but it’s only when I came to America I get to see him because he left Jamaica long time ago, the same with George Hosang, he used to ride at Calder and Gulfstream.

This was war zone second run percy William first win and him going 5Round in 59:1 this was dubb the clash between Arantxa and war zone it was well hyped up but when the dust settles it was war zone Arantxa never be the same again she was just a ordinary horse
Machiavelli was a nice horse K . Mattis first use to train him remember the first time him run going 51/2 furlong with V.Singh Raveena beat him with A.Ramgeet and then War zone beat him ina the Toyota cup when Winston Griffiths ride him him was a very Talented horse is just because him did have problems make we never the best of him Machiavelli
@wayneclarke9695 He finished second in the Governor's Cup, too, where Richie Robertson rode him at the head of the handicaps. Ferrari with Gary Richards beat him that day. Machiavelli was very consistent and took orders from Wayne Parchment after leaving Kenneth Mattis.
@@pelorusjack5461 yeah when him lose the governor cup him carry the weight yes yeah Ferrari with Andrew Ramgeet for Wayne Decosta and before that war zone beat him in the 2 Guinness when C hussy ride him
@@pelorusjack5461 maybe you right because a long time we are talking about but I think a ramgeet still because ramgeet was the stable jockey at the time mi remember A.Ramgeet when him ride that same horse Ferrari and Winston Griffiths ride Bocadoor for P.Feanny you remember that horse him was a Foreigner that was a nice stretch bottle between them Bocadoor win the race

You can either argue that this is the Breeders Cup Juvenile equivalent due to it being the 2 year old feature in a "collective event" (Breeders Cup / Red Stripe Super Day), or you can look at the Toyota Cup as being the real equivalent to the Breeders Cup Juvenile even though it's not part of an event card. Because the Toyota Cup (2 Y-O Stakes) was actually the most prestigious race for 2 year olds and could single-handedly decide the 2 Y-O champion. So it depends on what you mean.

I had the pleasure of meeting Charles 'Bogeyman' Hussey in his other capacity Art & Craft and ofcourse we talked about racing.
Ed Barnes the smooth commentator great job Ed Barnes.
Brian Rickman is the commentator
Bwoy Charlie shouldn't give up the ride on War Zone, because he turned out to be a BIG HORSE
This was war zone second run percy William first win and him going 5Round in 59:1 this was dubb the clash between Arantxa and war zone it was well hyped up but when the dust settles it was war zone Arantxa never be the same again she was just a ordinary horse
Arantxa was a talented filly but she never settled down....that was on display at 3f
She throwd a nice colt back then,Commander Zero. He was so talented,won by 19 lengths on debut
Can we get distinctly Irish vs run papa run st. Ledger
Unbelievable finish that prompted the first triple/pick-3 carryover at Caymanas Park. Racing bwoy 😆
Great stuff
Hussey switched to Machiavelli not long after because he thought Machiavelli would be a better distance horse.
Machiavelli was a nice horse K . Mattis first use to train him remember the first time him run going 51/2 furlong with V.Singh Raveena beat him with A.Ramgeet and then War zone beat him ina the Toyota cup when Winston Griffiths ride him him was a very Talented horse is just because him did have problems make we never the best of him Machiavelli

@wayneclarke9695 no, Gary Richards rode him in the Governor's Cup
