Rain, no race at Bush Lot
The continuous and unseasonal rain fall continues to have a chilling effect on outdoor sporting activities countrywide. While recent words of assurances by Director of Sports Christopher Jones that Government will be moving in a big way to improve sporting facilities country wide are welcome, it is a little too late for some.
The latest to be affected is the one day horserace meet organized by the Bush Lot United Turf Club (BLUTC) which was slated for yesterday at the club Sea View Park, Bush Lot, West Coast Berbice entity.
The rain came with a vengeance on Sunday morning putting a damper to all plans the organizers had of organizing the meet which was already rescheduled by a week due to the inclement weather.
Eight races were on the day’s card which had a prize package of over $5.5M up for the taking including cash, trophies and other incentives while over 65 horses were entered to participate.
The Feature ‘C’ and lower 1600M event for a first prize of $1M compliments of Banks DIH Limited was expected to see the rematch between Spit Fire of The Shariff Stable and Jack in My Style of the Jumbo Jet Stable.
Fans will remember when the two animals last met in April the event ended in controversy. Spit Fire was initially awarded the victory, but the decision was changed and the two horses were awarded a dead heat.
Other high caliber animals that were expected to race were Diplomatic Cat and Princess She is Not, Unsettled and Bridal Stone Corner and the newly imported Guyana Time.
Clarification on the way forward could be had by contacting coordinator and Treasurer Lakeram B. Sukhdeo on Number 592-232-0558 or 592-672-0810.
