The horses have done good gallop; the jockeys are primed for the occasion and turfites are gearing up for a day of fun and frolic when Kennard Memorial Turf Club stages the Independence horse race meet at the Bush Lot Farm Corentyne headquarters, Sunday May 19 next.
Horse owners are reminded that entries close tomorrow and late entries will not be accepted. Horse owners are further advised that a fee of $5,000 must be paid for each horse entered in the competition and this sum must be paid during the registration period.
There will be 7 exciting races among the country’s top horses with the feature attraction, the D1 & Lower over a distance of 7 furlongs, touted to be a sizzler. In this race, the winner carts off $500,000 while the runner up wins half that amount. The third and fourth place finishers receive $125,000 and $63,000 respectively.
Turfites would not want to miss the G and Lower Class over a distance of 7 furlongs where the best horses, straddled by competent jockeys, battle for a top prize of $300,000, while the second place finisher receives $150,000. The third and fourth place finishers win $75,000 and $38,000, respectively.
The action continues in the J2 and Lower over a distance of 6 furlongs. The winner carts off $150,000 while the second place finisher gets $75,000. The third and fourth place finishers receive $38, 000 and $19, 000 respectively.
The other races consist of K & Lower over 5 furlongs for a first prize of $100,000, the F & Lower, over a similar distance, where the winner collects $320,000. The race among the 3 years old horses over a distance of 6 furlongs will also net the winner $340,000 and the second place finisher $170,000. The 3rd and 4th places receive $85,000 and $43,000 respectively.
The day’s activities end with the ‘I & Lower’ event over 6 furlongs for a first prize of $180,000 with $90,000 going to the second position. The 3rd and 4th places will win $45,000 and $23,000 respectively.
The organizers also wish to remind horse owners that the event is being conducted under the aegis of the Guyana Horse Racing Authority (GHRA) and all of the rules would be applied.
