Sir Don shatters Mr Sensational Trophy with 16-length romp

In a breathtaking display of equine dominance, two-year-old colt Sir Don secured a monumental victory in the $2-million Mr Sensational Trophy at Caymanas Park on Saturday, November 29, 2025. Trained by Anthony Nunes and ridden by jockey Raddesh Roman, the American-bred bay colt demolished the competition by an extraordinary 16 ¼ lengths.

Sir Don completed the 7-furlong Restricted Stakes race with an impressive time of 1:26.1, maintaining his perfect record with three consecutive wins. The victory showcased both the colt’s raw talent and strategic racing intelligence as he initially held back before unleashing an unstoppable burst of speed in the final stretch.

Trainer Nunes expressed measured satisfaction with the performance, revealing that the team had trained the colt lightly for this event. “We were hoping he would use his class and stay the seven furlongs, and he did that, which was nice,” Nunes commented to the Jamaica Observer’s The Supreme Racing Guide.

Despite the decisive win, Nunes maintained a pragmatic outlook regarding Sir Don’s future. The trainer indicated careful consideration would determine whether the colt would compete in one final December event or be rested until the following racing season. Nunes acknowledged that while Sir Don has demonstrated exceptional ability, the true test would come when facing horses of comparable talent in future competitions.

The race unfolded with strategic precision as Sir Don broke well and established an early lead ahead of Midnight Traveller (Tevin Foster), God’s Plan (Omar Walker), and Salute The Don (Dane Dawkins). Rather than maintaining relentless pressure, jockey Roman strategically eased the tempo at the half-mile turn, allowing competitors to close within a length before unleashing Sir Don’s full power in the final stretch.

Salute The Don secured second place while Fernando (Tajay Suckoo) finished third in the contest that highlighted Sir Don’s emerging status as a potentially exceptional racing prospect.
