Chameli of the Shivkaran Stables with Jamaican Jockey Kevin Blake on the mount upstaged the field to take the feature at the Nand Persaud and Company Sprint Classic horserace meet. The event was held at the Company’s racing facility at Macedonia Estate, #36 Village, Corentyne, and organised by their Sky Plus promotion group.

Cameli with Jamaican Jockey Brian Blake winning a close race in the feature G3 event from Golden Dancer on the rails with Colin Ross.
Running in the feature G3 and lower, four furlongs event, Cameli, which was trained by Gray, had been showing promise before. The horse took this opportunity to beat a top flight field as Golden Dancer and TNT, both of Nand Persaud Stable, finished second and third with Silver and Things fourth.
The win was worth $225,000 compliments of Banks DIH Limited and the Republic Bank Trophy.
Not this Time showed that it was time for it to celebrate as the racehorse ran away with the H3 Maiden and Guyana-Bred Open race from Storm Dancer and Miss Olympic.
Bodyguard showed that it was capable of handling itself to easily win the event for 2-year-old maiden Guyana-Bred horses. Perfect Storm, Face D Fire and Awesome Bandit were no match for the animal.

Time to celebrate as connections of Cameli rejoice as they receive the champion trophy from Mrs. Mohin Persaud for the win in the feature event.
The L open event was keenly contested with Cherish Me and Touch the Cash being given a dead heat for first place as Plane Land touched down third and Awesome Banner fourth.
