IAN PARSARD believes his BOY WONDER is the underdog entering tomorrow's 1200-metre Cash Pot 'Only One For Me' two-year-old feature race.

Going up against Philip Feanny's PRINCESS POPSTAR and champion trainer Wayne DaCosta's INSANE BOLT, who has back-to-back victories under his girth, Parsard said he hopes to spring an upset with BOY WONDER.

"BOY WONDER is definitely a talent, a bit immature, not as experienced as some of the others, so we have to be careful with his preparation but should be able to do enough to get to the race on Saturday," he told STAR Sports.

BOY WONDER is among a fancily named trio of talented top contenders for Saturday's first leg of the Supreme Ventures Limited Two-Year-Old Triple Crown Series, which has a winner's purse of 2.95 metres.

PRINCESS POPSTAR looked every part her name, and performed equally brilliant, when she literally cantered five furlongs round in 59.1 on her September 11 debut.

INSANE BOLT, partly named after Usain Bolt, the world's fastest man ever, had put in a workman-like victory at the distance four days earlier, posting 1:00.3 to claim back-to-back wins from three starts.

A $3M record buy at the last Yearling Sale, BOY WONDER debuted September 25 with a smashing 1:14.0 at six furlongs, making Saturday's Cash Pot Trophy the most interesting two-year-old showdown in years.

Parsard, who has been training for approximately eight years, while carrying out his day job as a top financial honcho at the Jamaica Broilers group, said he, like his colt, is also up against experienced competition.

"There are two ODs (Orders of Distinction) with horses running in the race, and I expect they will be coming hands down to win," he said, referring to Feanny and DaCosta, who share 26 champion trainer titles at Caymanas Park, dominating for the last 22 years.

He is particularly impressed by Feanny's PRINCESS POPSTAR.

"I have seen her at exercise and she is a lovely horse. She has a beautiful action. I love her a lot. She is quite talented and advanced, but we will try to play the upsetter role."

BOY WONDER, Parsard said, has "normal immaturity" issues that bother two-year-olds.

"At this point in time, he is a talented, precocious two-year-old, who, I hope, will develop to be a competitor in the classics, but we hope to upset them on Saturday," he said.
