Kaieteur News – Horseracing fans, who have been starved of action for the better part of the year due to the Covid 19 Pandemic, may get some action before the end of the year. That is if things go to plans.
The Kennard Memorial Turf Club (KMTC) at Bush Lot Farm, Berbice is in the process of finalizing plans for a one-day meet on Boxing Day. The KMTC usually host a grand end of year meet on the said date. However, with the Covid 19 Pandemic affecting the country a number of measures has to be put in place.
The executives of the Club have been meeting regularly to see how best a meet could be organized for the race starved Guyanese fans.
The club has reached out to the National COVID-19 Task Force and the Minister of Health to get a gauge on how best a race meet could be staged, in accordance with the stipulated safety guidelines.
Further engagements have been planned with the Task Force and the Minister to sort things out. If all goes well and the club gets the green light, then the meet will be held.
In the meantime, preparations are being made for the activity with the Club releasing a provisional programme.
The aim is to have the event held behind closed doors or with a limited number of people except those concerning the horses. Plans are also being made to have the activity live streamed or have a delayed broadcast.
The events listed so far are –the L Class Open, an event for Two-Year-Old animals, one for K Class animals, a race for L Class non-winning horses all over 1100Meters, while the H Class, the J Class and Three-Year-Old horses will compete over 1400M. (Samuel Whyte)
