Main Mistress delivers in style, secures Announcers’ Trophy victory

In a thrilling display of equine prowess, Main Mistress, a four-year-old American-bred filly trained by Peter-John Parsard, clinched victory in Division One of the $1.25-million Front Runner-sponsored Caymanas Park Announcers’ Trophy on Saturday, October 25, 2025. Ridden by jockey Omar Walker, the dark bay/brown filly dominated the Restricted Overnight Allowance race over 6 ½ furlongs (1,300m), finishing a length and a half ahead of competitors Cookie Day N Night and Huntsman. The winning time was an impressive 1:20.0. Parsard, while hoping for a more effortless win, expressed his delight at Main Mistress’s performance, attributing the success to Walker’s aggressive and precise riding. The filly is now set to compete in the Grade 3 St Elizabeth Distaff on Jamaica Cup race day (November 8), though the event’s future remains uncertain due to Hurricane Melissa. Main Mistress broke well, tracked the leaders, and surged ahead at the half-mile marker, maintaining her lead despite a late challenge from Cookie Day N Night. Parsard noted that Main Mistress had shown promise in her previous race and was a strong contender in this class. The victory marks a significant achievement for Parsard and his team, as they prepare for the next challenge.
