Jumbo Jet Horserace meet called off

Jun 01, 2013 Sports

 

The organisers of the Port Mourant Turf Club/ Jumbo Jet horserace meet has decided that it is too risky to push on with plans for their Sunday 16th June horserace meet and has decided to take the early decision to call the event off.
According to the organisers the incessant rain fall have left the Port Mourant Turf Club in a bad state. Also most of the racetracks in Guyana and other areas where the horses train are in very soggy conditions, thus the animals have been unable to exercise and train. Even if the weather improves it would be very risky to allow the animals to compete without adequate preparation thus risking injuries.
Eight races were carded for the day, while over $8M was at stake.
The feature event was for horses classified C and lower event over a distance of 1600 M with the winner’s money of $1M and trophy. The other races were for animals classified- three years old horses bred and born in Guyana and the West Indies. One race for E & Lower horses and another for those classified G and lower.  A race for three year old Guyana bred horses.
One race was for two year old animals which would have competed for the first time, while the final two events were the ‘I’ class gallop and one for the J and lower horses. The organisers will be looking at a possible date later in the year to organise their activity.
The next event planned by Jumbo Jet is the annual Guyana Cup Horses race meet set for Sunday 25th August 2013 at the Port Mourant Race track.
