One of Jamaica’s most anticipated annual thoroughbred racing events, the 10th edition of the $1.1-million Monday Morning Trophy, is set to take center stage tomorrow as the headline attraction of a nine-race program at the iconic Caymanas Park.
The feature race is structured as a Restricted Allowance II contest, open exclusively to native-bred three-year-old horses that have not claimed two career wins to date. A competitive field of eight contenders has been confirmed for the 7-furlong (1,400-meter) sprint, with racing analysts from The Supreme Racing Guide breaking down each runner’s potential to claim the top prize.
First up is Minneha, a three-year-old bay filly sired by Savoy Stomp out of Red Gold. Analysts do not project her to be a competitive factor in tomorrow’s outing.
In contrast, Charming Chaterbox, a three-year-old bay filly by Successful Native out of Morning Glory, turned heads with a stunning debut victory on February 21. She dominated that 5½-furlong contest, crossing the finish line 9¼ lengths ahead of the pack with a fast time of 1:08.3. With expected natural improvement from her first outing, analysts rank her as a serious contender for the trophy.
Third in the field is Darwin, a three-year-old bay colt by Casual Trick out of Cape. The Supreme Racing Guide notes he has not displayed enough form to indicate he is prepared to secure a win in this race.
Fourth is Super David, a three-year-old bay gelding sired by Patton Proud out of Storm Girl. He delivered a similarly dominant performance in his most recent start on May 2, romping to an 8¼-length win over 6½ furlongs with a time of 1:20.2. Analysts say the extra half-furlong for tomorrow’s race should not pose a problem for the colt, who is being pointed toward the 2000 Guineas later in the season. As such, he is widely considered a strong candidate to notch his second consecutive win.
London Spirit, a three-year-old bay colt by Bern Identity out of Bluefield, does not appear to have the top-tier class needed to take home the victory, per analyst assessments.
Sixth in the field is Tia Maria, a three-year-old chestnut filly by Bold Conquest out of Zacapa, who is making her return to the track after a 148-day layoff. Her last race was on December 26, 2025, where she finished seventh in the competitive Jamaica Two-Year-Old Stakes. Training reports indicate she has posted strong workout times in preparation for her seasonal debut. While there is some question over whether she will need this outing to shake off race rust, analysts agree she has the inherent class and talent to pull off a win.
\nSeventh is Strong Aveenu, a three-year-old bay colt by Aveenu Malcainu out of Ruby Rose. While he claimed a win in his most recent start, analysts do not expect him to repeat that performance in this higher-stakes contest.
Rounding out the field is Fidelity, a three-year-old bay gelding by Bern Identity out of Hush My Darling, who analysts project will be outpaced by the rest of the competitive field. The race is set to run tomorrow as part of Caymanas Park’s full racing card, with fans already anticipating a showdown between the event’s top contenders.
