According to the organisers, Jumbo Jet thoroughbred Racing Committee (JJTRC), fans will be able to enjoy and party at the mega concert for the same $2000 entrance fee that would be spent to view the horse race extravaganza.
With an eight-race programme and an international concert planned, sponsors have not been shying away from the opportunity to align themselves with this event that has been a major player in sports tourism in Guyana during the August period in the past.
