After postponing their horserace meet by one week due to the inclement weather, the organisers of the Rising Sun Turf Club one day horserace meet, which was rescheduled for Sunday 5th May, has now decided to cancel the activity due to the persistent inclement weather which has made the track unsuitable for racing.
The persistent rains have also made it impossible for the horses to train and continue their preparations.
A new date is to be announced later.
For Information on the event contact can be made with Fazal Habibulla at Chester Fry at Bush Lot West Coast Berbice on Telephone No 232-0232 or 657-7010, or Inshanally Habibulla on tel No 623-4495, and 623-5453 or 232-3295 or Donald or Zaleena Lawrie on telephone no 225-4530 or 225-4565.
Eight races were listed on the day’s card, while over $6.5M in cash and trophies were up for grabs. Over 80 horses had lined up to take part in the day’s action.
Meanwhile, it is understood that the GHRA will be holding a special general meeting on Sunday, 5th May at the Kennard’s Memorial Turf Club beginning at 13:00hrs.
