Change of date but excitement guaranteed for KMTC Phagwah Race

Feb 27, 2015 Sports

Turfites are priming up as approximately two weeks of this date the Kennard Memorial Turf Club (KMTC) will be transformed into a hive of activity when the organizers stage the Phagwah Race meet at the Bushlot Farm Corentyne venue on Sunday March 15 next.
Activities had to be shifted from the initial date (March 8) as the organizers worked assiduously to put the necessary modalities in place for a qualitative meet. Six races are carded for the day and the feature attraction will see horses in the A1 & Lower category battling for over one million dollars in cash, over a distance of 7 furlongs.
Additionally, turfites will be entertained with the G1 and Lower event over a distance of 7 furlongs. The winning jockey carts off $300,000 while the second and third place finishers receive $150,000 and $75,000 respectively.
Then there is the K & Lower handicap event over 5 furlongs with the winning jockey winning $120.000 with half that amount going to the second place finisher. The third and 4th places will receive $30.000 and $15,000 respectively.
The other races are K1 and Lower over 5 furlongs, D3 Maiden and E & F Open over a similar distance and the J1 & Lower also over 5 furlongs. Entries close on March 1 and late entries will not be entertained. Enquiries could be directed to Justice Kennard (623 7609) or Roopnarine Matadial (326 3192).
Meanwhile, the organizers have released the dates for race meets under their auspices for the remainder of the year. These include May 17, August 2, October 4 and December 26.
