NewzThe running of the $1.25-million Kenneth Mattis OD Memorial Cup is the feature race on tomorrow’s 10-race card at Caymanas Park. The three-year-old and upward Overnight Allowance contest has attracted a field of nine runners and will run over 9 furlongs and 25 yards (1,820m) Below is the analysis of the runners. TEFLON DON: (5 b h by Casual Trick - The Lady Scored) - Second string from the Jason DaCosta barn.
Form is moderate and this two-turn trip will find him out. Teflon Don is going to find this distance too taxing for him. Miss Grove (Tajay Suckoo) wins Division 1 of the $1.25-million Hubert “Chinna” Bartley Memorial Trophy on Sunday, June 28, 2026.
Not expected to factor and is going to be left behind in this one. MISS GROVE (CAN): (4 dk b/br f by Amis Gizmo - Marilyn’s Last Love) - Sharp filly from the barn of Anthony Nunes. Miss Grove prompted the pace over 7 furlongs (1,400m) last time out and got swallowed by Royal Poppy in the closing stages to finish second by 1 1/4 lengths.
She is game and will be on the lead again. Expect her to put up another good fight in this one. OIL MACHINE: (5 ch h by Bern Identity - Keep The Faith) - Comes in as a last-time winner which puts him in good heart.
Omar Walker takes the ride which is a plus for experience over a distance. However, Oil Machine is not expected to repeat against this class, but could stick around for a minor placing. GIRVANO (USA): (4 b c by Girvin - Summer In Midway) - Easily the class horse in here.
Won the Miracle Man Cup on January 1, was second behind Legacy Isle’s track record run in the Eros Trophy over 7 furlongs on June 6, and was second behind Phenomenal Power in the Diamond Mile on July 25. That is Graded Stakes form dropped into Overnight Allowance which should make this a shoo-in. Described as a grinding middle-distance runner who just keeps coming, this trip is tailor-made for him.
