My father, Howard Phillipps, had the most wins in 1979 with 65. I had the privilege of watching this race in person. And I have to say this was one of the most thrilling races I have seen at Caymanas Park. The 70s and early 80s were truly the best times to see races in person as Jamaica boasted some of the best riders in the world competing at one track. Emilio Rodriguez, Winston Griffiths, George Hosang, Fitzroy Gillespie, the late great Wayne Sinclair, Karl Brown and Gary Richards to name a few.

Georgie Hosang I didn't see much of because I was kid and he was on his way to Canada. But omfg, Bimbo, Chaka Chaka, Pumpkin Gillespie, Ugly Man Ellis, The Great Fanna Griffiths and China Bartley gave us the time of our lives from Caymanas park. Luck ole Sun, Royal Dad (1981), Prince Consort (1986), The Viceroy (1989) and Reca (1976)?!!!!! Derby was crazy! And who can forget Legal Light's tremendous stretch runs? I remember Harlequin, Hot Line, Jungle Beat, Holy Cat, Zephyrus, Ole Man River and the great Tudor Wit. Whew!!!!!! I wish I could watch all those great riders and horses again!!!!

I choke up even now just remembering it all. Possibly the most iconic race at Caymanas park for.

I would love to see the 76 derby with Georgie winning on Reca for Ren Gonzalez and the 77 derby with Fitzroy(pumpkin)Gillespie winning on Legal light for Billy Williams and the 78 derby with Fitzroy(dizzie)Gillespie winning on Zell for Howard McKenzie, maybe it will be difficult, any one of them would greatly appreciated...

Remember this race very well. As a kid, was just getting into racing during these times and was cheering for Bold Magic. Bimbo would later become my favorite jockey. I remember the local Sunday newspaper featured the Derby prominently along with the Wimbledon Tennis final won by Bjorn Borg.

This is one for the ages . Pumpkin was a little too late as was he’s a native and Bold Magic was way too early. The mistake Andrade made was going toe to toe with mr lsq.

@@peterlevell7234 I don't think Jamaica's racing authorities (?) has those tapes. It would have been JBC. I figure the practice in those days was to reuse the tapes because of cost. Maybe it was a lack of vision because I'm sure they could sell copies of those tapes for good money now.
