Banks DIH Limited has taken charge of the main event on the day’s card, which is the three year-old open gallop over a distance of 1200M and a top prize of $200,000. A full house has also been assembled for this race, which is expected to see renewed rivalry between top contenders Coconut Boy and Royal Champion, with both animals having a point to prove.
Other horses such as Lady of My Dreams, Amy Jane, Top of The Line, Night Crescendo, The Lyon, Prixie Fire, Lightning Mc Queen, Tidal Wave and Fantastic Light are all expected to shine in what is expected to be a scorcher for the Banks DIH trophy.

The track has once again been upgraded and turfites are expected to pack the venue to witness what is expected to be an action pack day of racing. Race Time is 13:00 hrs.
Horse owners are reminded to have their horses properly registered with the Guyana Horse Racing Authority prior to race day and to have their animals subject to inspection by the Veterinary officials before they are allowed to race.
