Sep 08, 2011 Sports

With there being a lull in the horseracing season after a hectic two months with six race meets within an eight week period, most of the stables are taking the time out to replenish their stocks and even give their animals a much needed rest and medical check up. Horse owners will have approximately one month to get themselves back in order. With the last race being on August 28 the next race date is slated for Sunday September 25 at the Ryan Crawford Memorial Turf Club and Sports Facilities (RCMTC&SF).
Another hectic period is in the making with most of the clubs having race meets slated until year end.
