‘Sleeping in Town’ looking for another outstanding performance at Bush Lot
Despite the name, the old adage of name and nature does not apply for the up and coming champion horse ‘Sleeping in Town’. Running out of the Crawford/ Persaud Stable of Tain Port Mourant and campaigning in the G class category with an average weight of 116 pound on its back, the animal is making its name for itself in the

horse racing circle.
With two convincing wins in its last race meet which was held at the Ryan Crawford Memorial Turf Club in November and three victories already since being sourced by its owner and brought to Guyana, the horse will be looking for another dominant performance when the Bush Lot Turf Club stages it one day horse race meet tomorrow, Boxing Day.
Imported from Trinidad just over a year ago and trained by C. Pluck, the racehorse will be looking to enhance its reputation as one of the animals to look at in the New Year. Already building a reputation, the horse returns to the track where it scored its first win.
It has joined the band of animals that has scored two victories in two races on the same day.
In its last meet it took care of business by romping to victory in both the E and G class races.
Ridden by apprentice Jockey Solomon who was also entering a competitive race for the first, Sleeping In Town first had its opponents at its mercy as it took care of things in the G class 1200M opening event, racing away with the $250,000 and trophy.
The horse then returned a few races later to conquer its opponents in the bigger E and lower 1500M event with a winning stake of $350,000 and trophy on offer with Solomon again on the perch. In that event the animal took an early lead which it maintained to edge out a fast finishing War Craft by a nose with top animals Night Crescendo and The Baliff finishing third and fourth.
Sleeping in Town likes to go out early and also has a good finish.
Quite unlike its name the animal is always awake and it’s known for a fast start. If it gets a good start tomorrow at the Kennard Memorial Boxing Day meet then its opponents will once again be in for a torrid time it trying to play catch up.
According to connections the animal is now coming on and getting better, having taken some time to settle in.
All eyes will be wide open and looking at Sleeping in Town as it looks to take the Horses racing arena by storm and put its opponents to sleep. (Samuel Whyte)
