Dec 09, 2012 Sports

 

 

Boxing Day may be three weeks away but already turfites and horserace fans are gearing up for the action when the Kennard’s Memorial Turf Club in collaboration with Carib Beer and the Ramnarayn family of New York presents  a one day horserace meet at the club’s Bush Lot Farm, Corentyne location, December 26 next.
As usual, those attending the event can expect scorching races as horses from all of the top stables are scheduled to grace the tracks. The feature attraction, the B & Lower, will be contested over a one mile distance with the winner becoming an instant millionaire, carting off $1.2M, while the second place finisher receives half that amount. The third and fourth places receive $300,000 and $150,000 respectively.
Turfites will also be thrilled with the race in the D3 & Lower over 6 furlongs with a top purse of $500,000 and a second place prize of half that amount. Jockeys finishing 3rd and 4th receive $125,000 and $63,000 respectively.
There will also be the H & Lower, I/3 contest, the 2 years old, and the J & Lower among others. Horse owners will be contesting for hundreds of thousands of dollars in prizes and patrons could look forward to highly competitive races among the best thoroughbreds locally.
Horse owners are reminded that entries close on Sunday, December 16 and late entries will not be entertained. Events are conducted under the rules of the Guyana Horse Racing Authority and owners of horses must pay at least $5,000 for each horse at the time of entry. If not paid the horses’ names would not appear on the official programme.
Owners and trainers are also reminded that they could have their horses registered through Justice Kennard (226-1399, 225-4818, 623-7609), Roopnarine Matadial (325-3192), Ivan Dipnarine (331-03160, Lionel Moonsammy (614-5812) or Isabelle Beaton (325-3007, 693-7812).
