E
       IGHT months after suc-
       cessful knee surgery,
       the Richard Azan-con-
ditioned Honey Ryda returned
to competitive racing and put
in a worthy performance to
win a Restricted Overnight
Allowance event on Saturday,
May 18, 2019.
   Although weakening a bit
inside the final half-furlong
(100m), the four-year-old
chestnut filly had done more
than enough in deep stretch
to hold on by three parts of a
length ahead of the fast-fin-
ishing pair of El Profesor and
Wartime in the 5 ½ furlong
(1,100m) event for three-
year-olds and upward who
had never won an Overnight
Allowance event.
   The final time of 1:06.3 (splits
22.4 and 46.2) in an indication
that Honey Ryda might be back
to her old self or possibly even
better.

ROJORN Di Pilot, a prom-

owned by Roam from the
barn of champion trainer
Wayne DaCosta, returned
from a near five-month
hiatus with an encouraging
performance that suggests,
for the moment, that he
may be better served over
sprint distances after a fine
display over five furlongs

hinted and continued, “I think
this might be her last year of
racing unless something else
happens. But we are prepar-
ing to breed her and the ex-
pectation is that hopefully,
she could follow in the foot-
steps of her mother Ahwhofah
and produce runners that are
