Bush Lot United Turf Club to stage one-day Horserace Meeting
More than one hundred of the country’s thoroughbreds will compete for over 7 million dollars and beautiful trophies, in eight races carded for the day, when the Bush Lot United Turf Club, West Coast Berbice, stages a one-day Horserace Meeting at the Club’s facilities Sunday December 9 next.
Activities are guaranteed to be action packed as reports out of West Coast Berbice suggest that all of the horses are doing good gallops.
Those animals out of the Sheriff Stables are reportedly going well and will be coming out on race day to capture the feature race and the million dollars that go with it.
The second place in that race receives $500,000, while the 3rd and 4th places receive $250,000 and $125,000 respectively.
The top stables Jumbo Jet, Romel Jagmohan, I. Bacchus and N. Ross are going extremely well during their preparation over on the Corentyne, while jockeys at the Simply Royal Stable are in top form after riding off with the top prize in the feature race at the just concluded meet staged by the Ryan Crawford Turf Club.
Then there are ‘Score’s Even and ‘Mission King’ of the Elcock Stables, in the sidelines and rearing to go.
The latter two horses are extremely dangerous as those are ridden by S. Sookall, straddling ‘Warcraft,’ and C. Jagdeo atop ‘Flying Filly.’ ‘Joyful Victory’ is also doing eye catching gallops along with Mr. Crawford’s ‘Night Crescendo’ and could cause some upsets.
Fans will be able to view the races in comfort as the management of the Turf Club has just installed a new V.I.P Stand, a commentator’s booth and a jockey room. There is also a new parade ring and several new stables.
The track is in good condition and trainers are going through their preparations with zest.
Apart from the fun and frolic, turfites can vie for the two Blackberry Cell Phones put up by Digicel in a special drawing. Banks DIH Ltd are the main sponsors with support from Sheriff Racing Stable, Jumbo Jet Auto Sales, Digicel, Asraf Alli, Custom Family, Lenny Singh and Family, Balwant Singh and Family, I. Bacchus, Simply Royal Racing Stable and R. Jagmohan.
Further information can be had from Mr. Roop (232 0231 / 625 0164), Bobby Sookdeo (232 0558 or 672 0810), Compton Sancho (690 0569) and Annie (613 1884). Activities get underway at 13:00hrs sharp.
