RCMTC&SF, Ansa McAl Horserace meet today promises to be one with a difference
The Horserace meet organized by the Ryan Crawford Memorial Turf Club and Sports Facilities (RCMTC&SF) in collaboration with Ansa McAl Guyana Limited slated for today at the Club’s track at Alness Corentyne Berbice promises to be one with a difference.
According to Coordinator Colin Elcock the meet shows that events of different caliber can be organized and horseracing can be held every week or in succeeding weeks.
The event does not have to be lavish and elaborate, “Different meets can be organized, Sprint meets, Handicaps, low profile, etc”.
This meet is dubbed as a Keep fit Sprint event where none of the races will be over 1200M and the organizers are using this event to get the horses back in shape after a hectic two months of racing and a one month layoff.
