Preparations begin for Jumbo Jet Bush Lot Utd Turf Club horserace meet November 8

Oct 18, 2015 Sports

With the horseracing season experiencing an unexpected lull in activities due to a number of unforeseen circumstances, the move by the Jumbo Jet Auto Sales and Racing stables in collaboration with the Bush Lot United Turf Club to organize an event for the 8th November is seen as a good one.

The horserace meet dubbed “bringing Bush Lot Alive” will be held at the club’s track Sea View Park West Coast Berbice and is the first collaborative effort between the two entities.
The event is coming at a good time and is geared to keep the animals fit and in action for the end of year events which are expected to see about three races staged.
Eight races are slated for the day with prize monies totaling over $5M in cash, trophies and other incentives up for the taking.
The feature event is for animals classified E1 and lower and four year old animals for a top prize of $600,000 and trophy over one mile.
The Co-feature event is for three year old West Indies bred animals also over a mile for a winning take of $400,000 and trophy.
There is a race for two year old West Indies bred animals over 6F for a winning pocket of $300,000 and trophy. Animals classified G1 and lower will be racing over 6 ½ F for similar winnings.
The rest of the races are all over 6½ F and will see the H1 and lower horses galloping for a first prize of $250,000 and trophy. The I1 and lower horses will be looking to take home the $200,000 top money and trophy available for the winner.
There is a race for J1 and lower horses for a pole position taking of $150,000 and trophy.
The final race is for animals classified K and lower with the winner set to take home $100,000 and trophy.
Apart from the fascinating horse racing action expected to unfold on the track there will also be added attraction for both adults and kids.
Incentives will be available for the top Jockey and runner up, the top stable and champion trainer among others compliments of the organizers.
Nasrudeen (Jumbo Jet) Mohamed Junior is the coordinator and can be contacted on telephone number 654-4060. Race time is 12:00 hrs.
Meanwhile, the Jumbo Jet racing stable has a number of top race horses for sale at reasonable prices. According to the owners they have replenished their tock with a number of new imports and new born animals.
They are hoping that those interested in the horseracing business, especially Guyanese, can make use of the offers and cash in so that the racing family can be extended. (Samuel Whyte)
