Royal Poppy romps home in Kilowatt Trophy

ROYAL Poppy announced her full acclimatisation to Jamaican racing on Saturday, September 5, 2026, delivering an authoritative performance to capture the $1.25-million Kilowatt Trophy, an Overnight Allowance event at Caymanas Park.

Making her fourth local appearance, the six-year-old USA-bred chestnut mare demonstrated she has fully adapted to her new surroundings, drawing away to score comfortably by 2½ lengths in 1:26.3 for 7 furlongs (1,400m).

Bred by Classic Empire out of M’Dearest, the mare was given a patient, tactically good ride by jockey Raddesh Roman.
