American Star Shocks Gold Cup Field | Jamaica News

Only five horses are entered in the high-stakes Philip Feanny Gold Cup, a surprise given the race’s $2.5 million purse and its critical role as a direct qualifier for the Mouttet Mile. The main reason? A bold American import, The Prince’s Spur, a seven-year-old gelding making his local debut. Trained by Rohan Crichton, who’s proven adept at shipping horses, The Prince’s Spur boasts a solid record, including a recent win at Gulfstream Park against lower-level claimers. With strong bloodlines and impressive workouts—including a mile in 1:38—he’s clearly prepared to compete. His connections likely see this early entry as a strategic move to acclimate him to local conditions and secure that coveted Mouttet Mile spot. His presence is already rattling other contenders, making this a race with major implications—and possibly a quiet revolution in how top horses are positioned for big stakes.
