Notorious Poised to Dominate Brigade of Guards Trophy

As the New Year's racing season gets underway, Notorious, one of Kenya's top stayers, is looking to make a statement in the Brigade of Guards Trophy on Sunday. The 2,800m race is expected to be a closely contested affair, but Notorious' trainer, Onesmus Mutua, is confident that his charge will emerge victorious.

Notorious has been in top form, and his recent performances have made him a strong contender for the win. His ability to maintain a high pace over long distances makes him a formidable opponent in the Brigade of Guards Trophy.

Other notable contenders in the race include Public Hero, who has been handicapped with a heavy weight, and Pharoah's Advocate, who has been given a gruesome weight. However, with the help of apprentice Peter Kinuthia, Pharoah's Advocate may be able to overcome the weight disadvantage.

Despite the strong competition, Notorious is expected to be the one to beat in the Brigade of Guards Trophy. His experience and form make him a strong contender for the win, and his trainer's confidence in him is a good indication of his chances.

Here is the schedule for the Jockey Club Meeting on January 12, 2020:

  • 12:50 pm: The Gede Ruins Maiden (1600m)
  • 1:25 pm: The Hyrax Hill Handicap (1800m)
