All set for Race of Champions Horserace Meet today at Port Mourant
Many of the country’s leading racehorses will be seeking to make their mark on the inaugural Race of Champions Horserace Meet organised by the Jumbo Jet Thoroughbred Racing Committee and fixed for today at the Port Mourant Turf Club in Corentyne, Berbice starting from 12 noon.
Port Mourant Turf Club was bone dry, as all the favorites from around Guyana had the chance to put in some gallops and test the track this past week.
All races will start on time the organisers have indicated and additional entries will not be accepted on race day today. Gates will be opened at 10:00AM. Trophy Stall, with several locations around the city and a new one coming in Berbice, are on board for the Race of Champions, with Proprietor Ramesh Sunich continuing to support this and other sports. Several trophies for the event among other rewards will be provided by the Trophy Stall.
The race schedule for today is:
L maiden 12:05pm
I class 12:40pm
K class 1:15pm
L colts 1:50pm
H class 2:25pm
J class 3:00pm
2yr class 3:35pm

The main event will see several key players galloping for the $1M purse. Among them are return clash between Vera’s Finally and Just call me Boss at the only track Vera’s Finally has lost a race in Guyana, while Not This Time, known to cause upsets in big meets, will be throwing down the gauntlet.
