Multiple Canadian champion jockey PATRICK HUSBANDS took Gay Smith’s recent purchase JERRY THE NIPPER (Liam’s Map) for a spin on the Garrison Savannah turf course on February 24, getting the gelding ready for the 41st Sandy Lane Barbados Gold Cup this Saturday. You can view the video below from Racing Scene.
Trained by Todd Pletcher for Repole Stable, Jerry the Nipper has a record of 6-4-7 in 21 races and earnings of $544,025 and the seven-year-old was recently a troubled third by half a length in the Grade 3 Fort Lauderdale Stakes at Gulfstream Park in Florida. On Jan. 27, the bay gelding went too fast chasing a hot pace in the Pegasus World Cup Turf (G1) and he was beaten four lengths, finishing ninth. He has since been moved to owner Smith’s stable. Smith has won three Gold Cups.
