Five-year-old USA-imported gelding Sir Jimmy looks like the headline entry among seven others in the Bertram Bertie Corbin Memorial Trophy Handicap going the sprint trip of 1100 meters this evening at the Garrison Savannah. Corbin was a race announcer at the Garrison Savannah for over 40 years and also a horse owner.The race named in his honour is the eighth and final event on the card and is slated for 5:45 p.m.Sir Jimmy, owned by A and A and Mr Arjay, was a fast-finishing second by three and three-quarter lengths behind Bodi Tap in the Black History Month Handicap on February 19, his last race. Although going up nine pounds today to 120 from his last effort, he will be the main contender in the race. Only three horses in the field have been unplaced in their last efforts, making today’s entry a top class and exciting prospect for race fans. Trainer is Richard Deane and Dario Dalrymple has the mount out of Gate 4.Joshua from the excellent Sean Hall barn is another horse to watch out for. Though he is now 11 years old, he will still be a force to reckon with and was a second-place finisher in his last time out. Matthew Badel will be carrying 127Ibs from Gate 6.
