PMTC Showdown of Champions: Olympic Kremlin steals the show 

Olympic Kremlin stole the show by a comfortable margin in Sunday’s Metro-sponsored Mile, the feature event of the Port Mourant Turf Club’s Showdown of Champions.
Coming from 10 lengths back, the Slingerz Racing Stable icon showed its full potency in the hands of Jockey A Gulart by hunting 2023 Horse of the Year Spankhurst (C Paria) and Jagdeo Racing Stables’ Loyal Company (D Khelqwan) in daunting fashion to win.
Spankhurst left the blocks like a rocket, pulling out just over 11 lengths to the rest of the field a quarter way through the race.
And as Loyal company caught Spankhurst, the duo had a short duel in the J’s Supermarket and Jumbo Jet-sponsored event
But true to form, the Slingerz horse sliced through the field, taking down horse after horse in chasing the third win on the trot.
Spankhurst finished second ahead of the Jagdeo Racing Stables duo of Loyal Company and Frontline Warrior (N Patrick).
Meanwhile in the co-feature event, the Guyana Star Sprint sponsored by SHI OIL, Slingerz Racing Stables’ Ritorna Vincentori had to dig deep to overturn the challenge of Jagdeo Racing Stables’ Oy Vey, winning by half a length.

Rounding the final bend neck in neck, the duo duelled down the stretch as the raucous crowd spurred them on; Jockey A Gulart finding a little bit more than his rival, D Khelawan aboard the close second.
The Simply Royal Stables pair of Stormy Victory (V Ramnarain) and Morning Colors (R Appadu) finished third and fourth.
In the opening race, the Sandeep Poultry J/K/L Maidens, sponsored by Big G Lumber Yard, KP Jagdeo General Contractors and AJM Enterprise, Security Rock (Y Drepaul) finished just ahead of Enemy Maker (K Blake), Three D Movie (K Pierreia) and Perfect Gold (V Ramnarain).
Race two, the Archway Snackette K&L class sponsored by rice farmer Laka Ramrich, Rohan Auto Spares, ARMCO Construction and K Haniff Construction, saw a blinding effort from Bin Landen and Jockey Blake to come from fourth to win.
Down the home stretch, Blake opened up Bin Laden who blazed past Princess Sasha (Z Mahsood), Sarkar (Appadu) and late entry Kiss (Kishan).
The Permaul Trading and Distribution two-year-old Juvenile Stakes saw another come-from-behind win, this time Irish Eyes (K Razzak) upstaging the field down the final stretch.
Second, third and fourth respectively, sponsored by Orvin Mangru Construction, Satesh Liquor Restaurant and Tanna Rice Farmer of Black Bush, was Ruff Time (R Appadu), Miss Simron (V Ramnarine) and Secret Traveller (Y Kissonchand).
Red Ruby won the G Class and Lower SHI OIL and OBL Lounge-sponsored race with Jockey D Khelawan holding off the challenge of Jagdeo Racing Stables mate Theory of Colors (N Patrick)
Ruby’s almost flawless ride broke the streak of come-from-behind victories down the homestretch as Stroke Of Luck (K Paul) and American Traveller (C Ross).
In the GuyAmerica Construction-sponsored H Class, Amicable Kate (N Abrigo) followed suit in the same vein as the earlier runs, getting an average start but storming to victory around the outside of Blinding Lights  (Y Kissoonchand), Haley (N Patrick), and Amazing Grace (Y Drepaul).
