Launch Reggae 6 with God Of Love
August 21, 2025
In addition to Dick Cardenas replacing claiming rider Emelio McLean and a visor fitted, HAIL THE QUEEN's 21-1 bomb in last Saturday's Reggae 6 opener was also aided and abetted by the track condition.
A wet-fast track caused by Friday's rain enabled HAIL THE QUEEN to run a suspect field off its leg, resulting in a $331,756 payout and $4.1 million single-winner bonus to aim at this weekend after MILLINIUM STAR closed the Reggae 6 at odds of 9-1.
GOD OF LOVE, though far removed from his glory days as an overnight-allowance sprinting terror, should have the measure of rivals in the Reggae 6 opener at five furlongs round among $500,000 claimers on March 15.
GOD OF LOVE reports from familiar territory, Fitzgerald Richards' barn, after being claimed by Marlon Pusey for $500,000 when beaten by repeat-winner RUSTY at five furlongs straight.
LUCY ON THE GO, HICKORY SLIM and BOBBYTWOBAD are the horses to be on in the second for four-year-old maidens at six and a half furlongs. Older maidens are always tricky, not worth taking risks, especially venturing beyond six furlongs.
The third event might appear a relatively innocent six-horse field. However, form reversals would not surprise, considering BLU SENSATION has galloped a half-mile in 49.2, preparing for her second race without any foreign threat since winning April 5.
In addition to BLU SENSATION, KING'S CROWN has back class as a speedster and FIRECRACKER won with authority, making all three must-haves on all Reggae 6 bets.
Jason DaCosta's United States-bred NOVIO, sired by back-to-back Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner, Goldencents, gets the nod as a banker in the fourth at three furlongs straight for two-year-olds.
Anthony Nunes' PLATINUM PRINCESS should be similarly treated in the fifth at four furlongs straight among three-year-old maidens after being outfinished by LOREDO out the Gregory Park chute in 1:01.1 on August 6.
Close the Reggae strong with five selections, GOLDEN SYRUP MANNY SLAM, BELLA BELLA, UNCAPTURED EMPRESS and speedy PRINCESS RIA, perfectly drawn along the stands' side at five furlongs straight.
