Dec 17, 2008 Sports

Entries close today

The place to be on Boxing Day is the Kennard Memorial Turf Club (KMTC) at Bush Lot Farm, Corentyne for a thrilling day of horseracing organised by KMTC and sponsored by Demerara Distillers Limited.

The cream of the country’s horses will compete in the eight races that are carded for the day. The feature event will be in the ‘B’ and ‘Lower Class’ over 7 furlongs. The winner of that encounter collects $350,000.

Among the horses that will be on show are: Great Memories, Sequin, Ms Republic, Little Panie, Getting Something, Pinch the Cash’ and ‘Face the Music’.

Entries for the meet close today and horse owners are advised that they can register by making contact with Nikita Ross an telephone # 662-4668 of  Justice Cecil Kennard at telephone # 623-7609. Horse owners may also make contact with Roopnarine Matadial at telephone # 325-3192.

Meanwhile, in an invited comment Kennard said that there has been marked improvement in the horseracing fraternity over the year.

He admitted that there have been some problems, chief among them being the lack of cooperation among clubs. He is optimistic that these problems can be favourably addressed in the coming year.

Kennard said that a stable of horses will arrive from the USA shortly and will bolster the present stock. He is optimistic that with this addition the quality of local horse racing will improve.

He said that 19 race meets were planned for 2008 and with the expected shipment of horses from the USA the situation will be much improved. “I am confident that the Boxing Day Meet will provide top class entertainment since most of the country’s top horses will be on show,” Kennard opined.
