The highly anticipated $1.09-million Princess Popstar Trophy, a Restricted Allowance I race for native-bred and imported two-year-olds, is set to take place tomorrow over 5 ½ furlongs (1,100m). The event has drawn a competitive field of six runners, with the spotlight firmly on the American-bred bay colt, Sir Don, who is making his second appearance on local soil. Sir Don’s dominant debut win, clocking an impressive 46.4 seconds over four furlongs, has established him as the clear favourite. His recent morning gallops indicate he is in peak condition, further solidifying his status as the horse to beat. Among the contenders, Tia Maria has shown promise with consistent finishes, while God’s Plan, a debut winner, is expected to challenge for second place. Infinity Star, Brody’s Unity, and Comuna Trece round out the field, with Comuna Trece likely to secure another runner-up finish given her previous performance against Sir Don. The Jamaica Observer’s Supreme Racing Guide provides an in-depth analysis of the runners and their prospects, highlighting Sir Don’s speed and class as key factors in his favour.
