According to organiser Mr. Sha’veh, the activity is done with the people of Port Mourant in mind and in observance of the Mashramani Celebrations. He said that the Turf Club was a gift from the British to the people of Port Mourant area. So the mega event is being done to bring the people back to the venue which was once the mecca of activities in the Corentyne area.
He feels that it is fitting to do something especially around this Mashramani time that would involve as much persons as possible.
Cycling and Horse cart racing have been added to the multitude of activities planned for the day which will be highlighted by the horseracing events. Also on the days programme are donkey racing, climbing the greasy pole, catching the greasy pig, catching the fowl cock, Bun eating, bag and dog races and Gymnastics among other novelty events. There are also flat races involving the top athletics clubs in Berbice.

In an effort to involve everyone, the organisers have included two special events. The first is for the horses classified J, K and L that participated during the day but did not win or place.
The other event is for horses that would have never raced on a race track in Guyana or the Cow or Cart horses.
