Horse race lovers are being put on notice for the biggest event in City when the Georgetown Turf Club (GTC) hosts a grand Horse Race and Gymkhana event dubbed ‘Grande Summer One Day Horse Race and Gymkhana’ slated for the GTC aback the Mocha Arcadia community, this Sunday August 18 next.
Four exciting races are carded for the day with two feature events expected to set the stage. In the first, jockeys will battle for honours in the ‘H & Lower’ while the second will see them competing in the ‘I & Lower’ race, both over 1200M.
The organisers have said that the two top horses to watch are Star Boy and Red Dragon and turfites could come out anticipating keen rivalry.
