Woodbine invader PAT’SSEWINGMACHINE (We Miss Artie – Time to Love by Kitten’s Joy) and jockey Teshawn Hazelwood held off a closing SO SAUVE (IRE) to win the $50,000 Coolmore Stakes (G1) at the Garrison Savannah in Barbados on Feb. 3, a local prep for the Sandy Lane Gold Cup (G1).

Trained by Ted Holder, who is based at Woodbine, for the new FUN IN THE SUN RACING SYNDICATE, Pat’ssewingmachine was making his first start in Barbados since he was ninth in consecutive optional claiming races.

The six-year-old horse, making only his ninth career start, settled in third in the five-horse field traveling 1800 metres under 2023 champion apprentice Hazelwood, racing three-wide early outside of stablemate Forester Humor and favoured Renaisance Frolic.
