KINGSTON, Jamaica – THE QUICK GALLOPER turns back the hands of time to the 10 starters in the 2021 Jamaica Derby to find out, where are they now.
FIRST – Calculus after winning the Derby at odds of 3-5 moved on to settle himself comfortably in the top grade where he is still remains competitive. Calculus has recorded two wins from seven starts in 2022. He was also the first runner-up to the 2021 Horse of the Year.

THIRD – Further and Beyond went on to win the major races at the end of the 2021 season and was duly voted as the Horse of the Year. In 2022, Further and Beyond has not raced much, but is expected to return in the third quarter when the big money races come around.

SIXTH – Daddy Jones has never realized his full potential and is still making his way through his class conditions.
SEVENTH – Iannai Links has not been seen for a while.
EIGHTH – Regal and Royal is still hanging around.
