However, most of the logistical arrangements are in place for the event which is organised by the Jumbo Jet Auto sales and racing stables in collaboration with the Port Mourant Turf Club.
According to Coordinator Nazrudeen “Jumbo Jet” Mohammed, due to the overwhelming support and number of calls from horse owners seeking to make a last minute grasp to be a part of the programme, they have decided to extend the closing date to accommodate as much entries as possible, in an effort to give as much person a chance to be a part of the event.
