Hot & Lucky denies Jagdeo Racing Stables in the Emancipation Cup, according to Guyana and Kaieteur News reports. Veteran jockey Colin Ross rides Hot & Lucky, which comes from Nathan Racing Stables, to a maiden victory in Guyana. Both outlets describe Hot & Lucky as an underdog and attribute the result in part to the field being reshaped by the absence of several racing stables. The reports state that Jagdeo Racing Stables is not competing, along with Js Racing Stables, Slingerz Racing Stables, Master Z Racing Stables and Jumbo Jet Racing Stables. With these stables missing, Jagdeo Racing Stables was widely expected to be in a strong position to dominate the race, but the outcome does not follow that expectation. Instead, Hot & Lucky, guided by Ross, wins its maiden race. The coverage focuses on the jockey, the horse’s stable, the notion of pre-race expectations, and the list of absent stables tied to the final results in the Emancipation Cup.
