Eastman who rides for Team Coco’s told Stabroek Sport yesterday that he plans on competing further north for the next five months with the aim of “being more successful than last year.”

“Last season was nice but I’m looking forward to being more successful than last year “said the 20-year old.

Eastman who rode with great consistency in the New York area last season, added “2015 was my first time really racing overseas and I won four to five races but this year I’m looking forward to achieving better goals and winning bigger races.

“I really want to do better than last year, I want to win a very big race even if it’s just one” the national champion reiterated.

Eastman, who is scheduled to return to defend his national titles in June, also thanked his Team Coco’s club mates and club owner for the support he has been receiving as he continues to strive for greatness on the saddle. (Emmerson Campbell)
