Mouttet Mile Race Day is set for December 6, 2025 with the main feature being the US$300,000 Mouttet Mile (invitational) to be run over one mile (1,600m). The horses, which were brought down from the United States, were affected by the recent passage of Hurricane Melissa, which disrupted their training. “The two horses were uncomfortable. They were in air condition stalls and with the loss of electricity due to the hurricane meant the air conditioning wasn’t working, causing the horses some discomfort. They were uncomfortable for a few days being not used to the temperature here,” Nunes told the Jamaica Observer’s The Supreme Racing Guide. Despite the setback, Nunes believes the horses are now back to normal. “They are alright. They are back in air condition now and so they will be fine. Nautical Star will compete in the Mouttet Mile, while Of a Revolution will run in another race,” Nunes added. Nautical Star is dark bay horse bred by Dixie Chatter out of Kiss Me Chocolate. He has won three races from 11 starts. While, Of a Revolution is a chestnut horse bred by Maclean’s Music out of Hot Spell, and has won four races from 18 starts. Nunes acknowledged that the lack of a prep run is not ideal, but he is optimistic about their chances. “They will not get a race in before the big day because we don’t have the time. [And] this [Hurricane Melissa] made it worst that they missed three or four days of training,” Nunes explained. Nunes also praised the horses’ abilities. Nautical Star seems to be a decent horse. I didn’t buy him; he was bought by One Guyana Racing. Saffie Joseph trained these horses up in the States and he suggested to One Guyana Racing people to give me an opportunity with them and they seem to be decent horses. “They are older horses, they have raced quite a few times but you can see that there is back class there and they have ability. Unfortunately they won’t get to race before Mouttet Mile but that’s fine,” he said. Of a Revolution is being attended by Damion Brown, assistant trainer at Anthony nunes’ stable.
