The 13th edition of the Guyana Cup horserace meet that will see over $20million in cash and prizes being doled out to the top performers will speed off tomorrow at the Rising Sun Turf Club in Rising Sun Village, West Coast Berbice.
Thousands are expected to flock to the venue which is located just 45 minutes from the capital city, Georgetown, and with nine anticipated races on the card, turfites are sure to be busy come race day.
Anticipated to register for the meet, which is one of the marquee events for horseracing in the region, are some 80 animals from Guyana, the Caribbean Region and North America.
