Top horses to be in action as Kennard Memorial Turf Club closes yearly activities
The year 2012 will soon be forgotten but horserace fans will remember the excitement derived from their attendances at horserace events staged under the auspices of the Kennard Memorial Turf Club (KMTC).
That entity will be capping its year of activities with another such event dubbed ‘the Xmas Race Meet 2012’ at the club’s Bush Lot Farm Corentyne headquarters on Boxing Day, Wednesday December 26 next.
Turfites will be treated to 8 exciting races featuring the country’s top horses with the main attraction being the B and Lower class over a distance of one mile. The winner carts off $1.2M dollars while the runner up wins half that amount. The third and fourth place finishers receive $300, 000 and $150,000 respectively.
Then there is the G and Lower Class over a distance of 7 furlongs. The winner in this race will cart off $320,000 while the second place finisher wins half that amount. The third and fourth place finishers receive $80,000 and $40,000, respectively.
The other events include the J and Lower over 7 furlongs; the H and Lower over a similar distance; the event among the 2 years olds over 6 furlongs; the D3 and Lower over 6 furlongs and the I3 and lower, also over 6 furlongs.
The organizers wish to remind horse owners that the event is being conducted under the aegis of the Guyana Horse Racing Authority (GHRA) and that all of the rules would be applied.
The registration period ends on Sunday December 16 and horse owners can conform to this prerequisite by contacting Justice Cecil Kennard (226-1399, 225-4818, or 623-7609) or Roopnarine Matadial aka Shine (325-3192).
