With just a few days to go before race day and the excitement building, the entries column for the Alness Turf Club, Banks DIH grand one day horserace meet has climbed to over 70 with many horses owners rushing on board to get their animals registered for the action.
The event, which is slated for Sunday at the club’s track at Alness Corentyne, Berbice, has Guyana number one racehorse Score’s Even leading the entries.
