Tivoli Gardens will look to add to Boys’ Town’s misery when the teams meet in the Red Stripe Premier League (RSPL) today at the Barbican Complex playing field. Match time is 3 p.m.The encounter was originally scheduled for October 23 but was postponed due to a waterlogged Barbican surface.Now the two neighbouring clubs will square off in a derby game.Tivoli are on 14 points from nine games, in sixth position, while Boys’ Town are in last place on four points from nine games.Despite the disparity in terms of points, the game could bring out the best in both teams, as they know each other well.There are players that have represented both clubs as well, while Tivoli’s new coach, Omar Edwards, spent a decade as a coach at Boys’ Town.Edwards says he is expecting a tough encounter this afternoon, but notes that his team will be hunting full points.derby game”It will be a tough game, a very physical one. And it must be noted that it is a derby game,” Edwards told The Gleaner yesterday morning.”We are aware that Boys’ Town are not doing well at this time, and we are in mid-pack, so we will go to Barbican intent on coming away with a win, which would improve our position in the league,” said Edwards, who is also the national Under-17 assistant coach.Tivoli will be missing their captain, Romaine Breakenridge, and striker Mitchily Waul due to red cards picked up in the encounter against Arnett Gardens last Sunday.”We will miss two of our starters due to red cards, but we have players who are ready for the opportunity,” he concluded.Tivoli will rely on veterans Edsel ‘Robbie’ Scott and Jermaine ‘Teddy’ Johnson, as well as former Boys’ Town midfielder Tevin Shaw and Barrington Pryce to lead their charge for victory.Boys’ Town are having a miserable start, with only one win, one draw and seven losses in nine games. However, their long-serving coach Andrew Price is hoping that the derby will be added motivation for his team.”I hope that the west Kingston derby will be a big motivation for us. I believe that a game of this magnitude will bring the best out of the players. We are hopeful that things will change as the players are down because of things outside of the football sphere,” Price reasoned.Boys’ Town will hope that their top striker, Shamar Nicholson, Xavian Virgo, veteran goalkeeper Kirk Porter and Garfield Gillespie report in the right frame of mind.
Things return to normal tomorrow at Caymanas Park following the tremendous success of the second annual Diamond Mile raceday last Saturday when 14 races were run. Tomorrow’s 11-race programme marking the annual Jamaica Racehorse Trainers’ Association meet has attracted large and competitive fields, and with Christmas in the air, there should be one or two surprises in store. The Pick-9, which starts anew with the guaranteed minimum of $1 million, will be conducted from race three to 11, the first Super-6 from race one to six, the late Super-6 from race six to 11. We look at the first Super-6, which gets under way with the Dye Job Sprint over 1200 metres, to be contested by six two-year-olds. On past performances, it should come down to a straight fight between MR UNIVERSE, to be ridden by leading jockey Omar Walker for champion trainer Wayne DaCosta; and MONEY MAGNET with title-chasing apprentice Bebeto Harvey riding for trainer Richard Azan. Both have won twice, and having looked sharp at exercise, they should have their share of supporters. However, judging from his fast-time runaway win over 1300 metres in the 2-Y-O Junior Whopper Juvenile Stakes on November 12, winning by eight lengths in 1:18.2, MR UNIVERSE is preferred to old rival, MONEY MAGNET, who beat him over 800 metres (straight) back in September and should make it close. Walker should complete a quick double when he rides likely favourite, JAGRETEE, in the second race over 1500 metres for maiden four-year-olds and up. SUPER-6 FANCIES Trained by Johnny Wilmot, the five-year-old daughter of Legal Process, caught the eye when narrowly beaten by GOFORHOME over 1300 metres on November 30 when having CONNOR (third), WAITING FOR ONE and GOODOL’UNCLELINK behind and with Walker now taking the ride, should make no mistake in a field of seven moderate campaigners. FREE RANGE, who has been knocking at the door lately, has a glorious chance of winning the third race over 1200 metres. She went down fighting when a close second to QUICK CHIC over 1300 metres recently, and after placing third to BURLIN over 1820 metres last Saturday, will appreciate this sprint with Ruja Lahoe aboard. DEMOLITION BOY (Harvey up) and recent winner WALTZING MATILDA with female apprentice Mellisa Ward are twin dangers in a seven-horse field. The fourth race for $180,000 claimers has an open look about it with the likes of RUNJOHNNY RUN, MERU, BULLET RAJ, WILLINSTON and AQUILO present. One of the above named horses should win and my leaning is towards the speedy RUNJOHNNY RUN (loves the straight), with former champion Dane Nelson now taking the ride. The last two races in the first Super-6 should be won by down in class LADY BELRIDGE with Walker aboard and the recent course winner REIGN OVER ALL with Jevanne Erwin in the saddle. (1) MR UNIVERSE/ MONEY MAGNET (2) JAGRETEE/ GOODOL’DUNCLELINK (3) FREE RANGE (4) RUNJOHNNY RUN/ AQUILO (5) LADY BELRIDGE/ JESSIE JAMES (6) REIGN OVER ALL NARROWLY BEATEN
