Scores to be settled at Bush Lot United Horserace meet as preparations heightens

Nov 29, 2012 Sports

The Bush Lot United Turf Club (BLUTC) of Sea View Park, Bush Lot West Coast Berbice will be a hive of activities as the horse racing band wagon makes its next stop. Preparation has heightened for the Club’s one day $7M horserace meet slated for Sunday December 9. The club in collaboration with the Young Achievers Sports and Entertainment Group are teaming up for this event.
Eight races are listed on the day’s programme and so far over 50 horses have taken entry for what is expected to be an action packed affair.
With the race meet just over a week away, already the buzz in the air with a number of the country’s top horses already entered for the Feature B and lower 1500M event, is who will capture the $1M first prize and Banks DIH trophy. Most of the top stables have more than one entry in the feature event and by the time entries close the gates should be bursting at the seam.
A look at the feature race will see the Dennis De Roop Simple Royal stable leading the way as they leave nothing to chance as they look for another big pay day.
The inform Score is Event and Who so Ever will be leading their charge. Not to be outdone is the Colin Elcock Delmur Racing Stable which will be looking to redeem itself. They have already entered top runner the Message which should be accompanied by Mission King or Do Nut Prince or both as the Elcock stable looks for the big.
The Jumbo Jet stable as usual will also be looking to have a grand time in their pursuit to go all the way with giant runners Got to Go and Grande De Roja in the entry books. Another top stable, the Shariff Racing stable has also booked two of its top horses in their hunt to strike the gold with Diamond Dazzle and California Strike down to do battle. The line up already seems threatening and with horses such as the up and coming War Craft, The Bailiff and Gold Plated and a few others including some new arrivals still to enter, that event alone should be worth Turfites pocket.
Reports out of the organisers stated that all the other races have already attracted top entries.
The other races on the day’s card are the D3 and lower 1200M gallop for a winning purse of $450,000 and trophy. The Three year old race for Guyana and West Indies bred horses which also has a winning purse of $450,000 and trophy over 1500M.
The G class 1000M sprint for a winning take of $300,000 and trophy, the event for two year old Guyana and West Indies Bred horses will also be a 1000M affair for a winner’s money of $350,000 and trophy. There is also a race for Two year old Guyana bred horses which will see the winner pocketing $200,000 and trophy also over 1000M.
The ‘I’ and lower horses will also race over 1000M for a winning purse of$ 170,000 and trophy.
The J &K and lower horses will compete for a winner’s money of the $150,000 and trophy over 1400M.
