Caymanas Park is undergoing a historic shift as decades-old track records are falling in rapid succession. In a span of just three months, three United States-bred runners have completely rewritten the track’s history books.
The record-breaking spree began on April 6, when Rideallday made a stunning seasonal debut in the Ian Levy Cup. The colt clocked a blistering 1:42.2 over 8½ furlongs (1,700m), successfully erasing Smile ‘N’ Leave’s 29-year-old mark.
Exactly two months later, on June 6, the champion sprinter Legacy Isle took to the track for the Eros Trophy. Ridden by jockey Raddesh Roman, Legacy Isle dominated the seven-furlong (1,400m) contest, stopping the clock at 1:22.3. The performance shaved a tenth of a second off the record held by the legendary Eros since 1991.
