DEJAE’S BOY produced a strong rail run inside the last furlong of Saturday’s Supreme Ventures Racing and Entertainment Limited’s (SVREL) Administration Department Trophy race at six furlongs to outfinish THE GOOD WITCH and SUPER DUPER in a close photo finish.

Ridden by claiming jockey Nicholas Hibbert for trainer O’Neil Markland, the five-year-old, dark bay gelding, made his bid in tight quarters along the rail, chasing 13-1 outsider, SUPER DUPER, and THE GOOD WITCH.

DEJAE’S BOY won at odds of 6-1, clocking 1:13.1 on a sloppy track at Caymanas Park.

Jason DaCosta’s 3-5 favourite, EAGLE ONE, finished down the track in the underfoot conditions.

Champion trainer Anthony Nunes saddled his second consecutive three-timer after closing last Sunday’s card with a hat-trick of upsetters.

Nunes first won the second race, a two-year-old event in which ROYAL ASH upstaged hot 1-9 stablemate, VOLATILITY at odds of 3-1, the second of four winners for Reyan Lewis.

Lewis, who had opened the 10-race card with 3-5 favourite RUSTY, won three of the first four events, pairing with even-money choice PARTY PRINCESS in the fourth, returning to boot home Nunes’ 1-5 favourite, MORIMOTO, in the seventh.

Racing continues on Tuesday. Monday’s nine-race card was rescheduled in observance of the official day of mourning to mark the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.

Bajan athletes have earned over $100,000 for their performances Loop Barbados

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Barbados News

In four years’ time, Barbados’ athletes have earned in excess of a whopping $100,000 for their podium finishes across numerous disciplines.

Sharing this news is the newly re-elected President of the Barbados Olympic Association and the Commonwealth Games Association of Barbados, Sandra Osborne.

She delivered breath remarks at the celebratory reception for the island’s outstanding athletes at Ilaro Court and then spoke to Loop on the sidelines.

Osbourne disclosed that “So far, since 2019, over $100,000 have been earned by athletes under this [BOA incentive] programme.”

However, she said that when compared to statistics out of the United Kingdom (UK) Sport, Barbados cannot compare. She said the BOA looked at what it took the UK to produce an Olympic medalist between 2016 and 2020, and “the investment is staggering, and obviously, we lack the same scale, but the only point that we want to make here is that it takes not just a village, but a country.”

Osborne, therefore, thanked the Barbados Lotteries saying their “longstanding contribution to sport has allowed us to invest $20 million in athletes and national federations over the last four-year Olympic cycle and to more than double our direct athlete funding in 2022, to $1.475 million, cannot be overstated.”

She also mentioned government’s commitment to the BOA by way of taxes levied on the gaming industry in recent years. She said as the beneficiary of such, they are then able to pass on the good fortune to athletes.

But hammering home the need for more support still, she added, “As always, I repeat my call for more support for the dreams and ambitions of these fine Barbadian athletes.”

Archers ready? Wildey could become the home of multiple sports Loop Barbados

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Barbados News

Athletes across multiple disciplines may in the future convene in Wildey in and around the Garfield Sobers Gymnasium to train at their respective state-of-the-art facilities.

Huge plans are being cooked up for the Wildey area as it relates to sports locally.

Bajan sportsmen and sportswomen are on the receiving end of numerous promises this week as the minister responsible for Sports, Charles Griffith sheds light on many plans and proposals to develop the nation’s athletes locally. And this was but one more revelation by Griffith in an interview with Loop.

He was at the time responding to the question posed about developing nontraditional sports, especially in schools, after we saw that recently during orientation at the Christ Church Foundation School, the Archery Development and Training Centre sought to try to introduce staff and students to this less than popular sport. Loop also highlighted archer Javier Jordan who earned a gold medal at the Developmental Championship and archer Charlene Goddard who has qualified for the CAC Games with her silver medal. The pair represented Barbados and were competing in Santo Domingo.

Responding, Griffith shared:

“We’re looking to develop the whole Wildey area for sports and archery is one of those disciplines that we are looking to see if we can find a home for archery at the Wildey complex.

“Now, in order to grow the national federations and in order to grow sports, we are looking to get sports activities in schools and the community.”

And he said that his ministry is ready and willing to assist the various sports associations. But to the question of archery specifically, he added, “We will do whatever is necessary as long as they reach out to us for assistance, then we at the National Sports Council will do whatever we can to build the sport of archery on the island.”
