Nasrudeen Mohamed Jr., Chairman of the Jumbo Jet Thoroughbred Committee (JJTRC), has indicated that they will be hosting a fundraising event titled the Breeders Cup on July 7th at the Bush Lot United turf club in West Coast Berbice.
The action packed day will feature three aspects, a Horse Race Meet, Motocross competition and a Car and Bike show, with all the proceeds going towards works at the developing Bush Lot United Turf Club which includes the construction of a grand stand, stables for race days and fencing.
On the card for the Horse Race Meet are seven races with some of the top jockeys and animals expected to make appearances. The Motocross competition will see some of the best daredevils in Guyana going head to head between intermissions during the horse race meet.
The day will conclude with the Car and Bike show featuring owners of the best machines who would be awarded with cash and trophies. According to Mohamed, the added attractions have been included to attract persons who don’t usually come to horse racing to be part of the event.
To date, the JJTRC has injected millions into the facility including filling of the track which was done recently at an estimated $1million.
