Starting time is 13:00 hrs and the Organisers are asking all horse owners and those directly related to the Meeting to be at the facility on time for a prompt beginning.
Meanwhile, Elcock speaking at the briefing urged journalists to do some investigative work and see how big an industry horse racing is that can create additional revenue for the country.
“I am hoping that the sport is presented with the opportunity to lift its standard once again and mirror that of the glory days of Durban Park which at one time was the Mecca for the sport in the Caribbean.”
