Andre Degrasse sets new Canadian record at NCAA Indoor Track Meet in Arkansas last weekend!

USC junior De Grasse ran an amazing 200m race and placed second to Trayvon Bromell of Baylor with a time of 20.26. Bromell won win a time of 20.19 which is the second-fastest indoor 200m race ever run. De Grasse's time ties him for third on the NCAA all-time list indoors and set the USC and Canadian records, both set by Aaron Brown last season with a time of 20.53. De Grasse earned USC eight points in the team competition.
"Andre ran one of the best 200's I have ever witnessed," said Smith Gilbert. "He executed the race almost perfectly, but was a little tentative coming off the last bank in lane six. His school record performance was absolutely phenomenal and its great that the new Canadian record stays in Trojan territory."

Andre De Grasse was second in the men's 200m dash with a time of 20.26.  That time set a new USC and Canadian indoor 200m record, topping Aaron Brown's time of 20.53 set last season for USC.

Cheers to Rico Walcott at his big Garrison Savannah win!

Rico Walcott was de boss  instead of Mr. Phenomenal, Patrick Husbands bringing Sayler's Creek to a victory at the 34th annual running of the Barbados Gold Cup! Rico won his first championship at the 2015 Sandy Lane Barbados Gold Cup last Saturday the 7th! He is a four time champion jockey at Northlands Park in Canada. It was the second consecutive win for owner Kenneth Ramsey from the U.S. whose horse Major Marvel, with Husbands aboard, won it last March. This race saw Daunting David placed second, Knight Rider third, and Gentleman's Kitten(the second horse owned by Ramsey), with Husbands astride fourth. Prime Minister Freundel Stuart presented the Gold Cup to Mr. Ramsey and family. I put a little 'trala' on Patrick's mount to win just for the fun of it. No regrets as I enjoyed the main race, other races, and a few drinks with several friends at what is considered the premiere horse racing event of the Caribbean!
