Sep 14, 2009 Sports

With the postponement of the Anjue and Hamlet Horse Race meet during this month, the Rising Sun Turf Club in collaboration with the True Friends Committee Charity Organisation of Guyana has quickly taken up the slack and has put together an impressive package, organising a grand eight event horserace meet for Sunday September 27 at the Famous ‘Arima Park’ Rising Sun, West Coast Berbice.

There are a number of feature events on the card. They include the B and lower, the 3 yr old, the 2 yr old and the F and G class races highlighting the day’s activities.

The feature B class event has a first prize of $300,000 and will see the horses galloping over a distance of 1600m.  

The $250,000 is the winners prize in the three year old event over 1400m for horses Bred and Born in Guyana and the West Indies. The two year old event for horses of similar stature goes for 1300m and has $ 200,000 available for the winner.

The F Class event will see the horses sprinting over 1100m while the G class event is over 1400m.

The other races listed for the day’s programme are H and lower, the J and K and the L class classic.

Other incentives on offer will be for champion jockey and champion trainer compliments of Businessman Ramesh Sunich of the Trophy Stall in Bourda Market.

Organizer Fazil Habibullah has promised an improvement in the crowd control situation and stated that every effort will be made to have more security present at the venue.

Chief Steward of the Guyana Horseracing Authority Francis Chichester has promised that the Authority will get serious with offenders who seem bent on swarming the track especially during the course of a race.

The GHRA is sounding a warning to those persons who are bent on flouting the law to desist from such practice or be dealt with accordingly, which could include eviction or prosecution.

He said that persons are calling on the authority to improve the standard of the sport in Guyana, but the authority can only be successful if it gets the cooperation of all the stakeholders involved including the government.
