Tracking California Crown (Tevin Foster) throughout the 5½-furlong (1,100m) Open Allowance contest, Desert of Malibu pounced in the closing stages of the race and dug deep to prevail by a half-length. California Crown finished second and Don Kwesi (Demar Williams) took third place. The final time was 1:10.2 (22.3 x 46.0 x 57.4). Suckoo’s other winners were Run Julie Run and Mohanlal. Run Julie Run made one move to win the $1.25-million Mark My Word Trophy by ½ length. The Peter-John Parsard trainer covered the 9 furlongs and 25 yards distance in 1:52.2. Trained by Richard Azan, Mohanlal was an easy two-length winner of the Wayne DaCosta OD Trophy over one mile (1,600m) in a smooth 1:37.4. Racing continues next Saturday with the return of the Diamond Mile. – Ruddy Allen Entertainment, Latest News, Videos For many Jamaicans, Reggae Sumfest is more than a celebration of music.
