Eight races, among sixty five horses, are listed for the day and jockeys would be battling for over $6.5M in prizes when the Bush Lot United Turf Club stages a one day horse race meet at the Club’s Bush Lot Village, West Coast Berbice, facilities on Sunday July 8 next.
Jockeys would be straddling the nation’s best thoroughbreds in several exciting encounters and the feature attraction in the A and Lower category, will be contested over a distance of 1500M.
The winner carts off $1M and a trophy compliments of Jumbo Jet Auto Sales. Already, several big guns have indicated their participation and a star-studded field is anticipated.
Turfites could expect a keen contest with animals the likes of ‘Who So Ever’, ‘The Message,’ ‘Marathon Man,’ ‘Donut Prince,’ ‘Jet Set Go,’ ‘Work Force,’ ‘Who’s On the Case and ‘Fresh Again’ among other top horses.
The feature race will be supported by the event for the 3 year-old animals. These horses are born and bred in Guyana and the West Indies and will compete over 1200m for a first prize of $500,000 and a trophy. This race is sponsored by BLUTC.
Several other races will whet the appetites of spectators including Classes ‘A,’ ‘E’ and ‘G,’ events among the two and three year-old animals which are the top drawing cards.
Additionally, the ‘E and Lower’ class race will field horses going after a first place prize of $450,000 and a trophy over a distance of 1200m, compliments of  Buddy Shivraj Auto Sales.
Another event, the G Class race, will see horses covering 1000m for a winning purse of $300,000 and the Dr. Brandeo Singh trophy. There is also the event among two year-old horses, Guyana and West Indies bred over 1000m.
Sponsored by Banks DIH Limited, this event offers a first place prize of $400,000 and trophy. The ‘I and Lower’ event is also slated for a distance of 1000M and carries a first place prize of $150,000 and trophy. This event is sponsored by owner of the Shariff Racing Stable, Mohammed ‘Nankoo’ Shariff.
The final two races will pit the skills of those animals in the ‘J Class,’ competing for a first place prize of $100,000 and a trophy over 1000m and the K and L class match up over a similar distance. The winning jockey for the first event will receive $80,000 and trophy, the same as the winner of the latter.
