One of the horses to look for in the future is definitely Golden Reprise. While some persons choose names at random, others choose names for a reason and with a meaning. The owners of Golden Reprise of the Haripaul stable of Tain, Corentyne Berbice knew something special about the four year old Bay Colt thus the name.
The animal was in ripping form in its last race, registering its first victory locally. Classified J1and running in the J class category with a weight of 123 pounds the Bay Colt romped to victory in convincing fashion. It will be looking to continue in the same vein and extend that winning streak when it takes to the track on 24th March for the KMTC one day race meet.
Owned by Mohabir Haripaul and trained by the veteran and wily horse man and jockey Rupert “Put” Ramnauth, the animal of late has been improving and has been among the money in its last few races.

Golden Reprise of the Mohabir ‘Water melon man’ Haripaul stable being guided by Rupert Ramnauth to a convincing victory in its last race at the Rising Sun Turf club.

Golden Reprise tasted victory at the last race meet held at the Rising Sun Turf Club with Jockey Ramnauth urging the animal on as it blazed to victory, getting stronger as the race progressed to make sure it entered the winning enclosure and carry home the $150,000 winners money and the Goodwood Racing Service trophy that were up for the taking.
According to Haripaul the animal has been improving all the time and they believe that they have now hit the right button. Popularly known as “Water melon man’ the owner said that animals are like people and like anything else, some take longer to develop, but when they do, there is nothing stopping them.
He believes the time has come for him to start winning. Haripaul stated that he has an excellent trainer in Ramnauth who is also an experienced jockey and all things being equal, he thinks that they have everything in place to start a winning streak from now. “As a man who has been around horses and with my trainer we would see defects early and try and correct them as early as possible. With the right kind of food which includes a number of different mixtures and the right exercise the animal can reach the top.”
The horse trains at various venues on the Corentyne including the Port Mourant race club and it all depends on where races and the type of races being run they will find a suitable racetrack.
The event also will dictate the type of training it has to undertake. Apart from competing in the J class events (J1, J2 and J3), the racehorse also runs in the ‘I’ class category and is set to move up in class to challenge those in the other divisions.
Gold Reprise will be on a gold medal hunt and according to the handlers it will definitely not be relenting.
