Nov 05, 2015 Sports

Over $7M up for grabs, over 60 entries so far

With race day just a few days’ away  the closing date for entries for the much anticipated “bringing Bush Lot Alive” horserace meet set for this Sunday and organized by the Jumbo Jet  business conglomerate and the Bush Lot United Turf Club has been extended to tomorrow.
This new extension is due to a number of request being made by horse owners to have their horses entered for the meet slated for the Bush Lot United Club at Sea View Park, Bush Lot, West Coast, Berbice.
So far over 60 entries have been received and a number of other entries are expected to come on board especially since there has not been a horserace meet for over two months.
Eight races are listed on the cards and over $7 million dollars in cash, trophies and other incentives are up for grabs.
The feature event will see the 4 yrs old West Indian bred and the E1& and lower horses battling for a first prize of $600,000 over a distance of 1mile.
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 6 ½ 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 horseracing 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 those wishing to register can contact Chandu Ramkissoon on 624-9063/ 232-0633 or Junior on 654-4060.
Race time is 12:00 hrs.
