The Horseracing population increased by four horses, which arrived in the country at Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Timehri on Monday afternoon last.
The recorded population is now 101 horses, according to statistics received by this newspaper at the time of writing this story from those in charge of the Classification List.
All four horses will be competing in Sunday’s (14th August, 2022) Guyana Cup eight-race card, which will be staged at Rising Sun race course at Bush Lot.
The four horses are USA-bred Convertor, Queen Domina, Memories and Color of Sacrifice from Trinidad and Tobago.
Four-year-old Convertor and Queen Domina won their last start at Gulfstream Park, Florida two weeks ago before arriving in the country. Convertor scored over 1,100 metres and Queen Domina won over 1,600 metres. They will be ridden by Jamaican rider, Linton Steadman for owner by Javed Ali, and trained by Jamaican trainer, Colin Blair. Converter is entered to contest the 1,100-metre Sprint Classic and Queen Domina will line up in the 1,600-metre Guyana Cup.
According to their trainer, Colin Blair both horses love to come from off the pace. He advised, “Most importantly they both arrived late, and needed a little more time to acclimatise. Despite that they have trained okay heading into the race.”
Meanwhile, T&T-bred six-year-old Memories is winless this season at Santa Rosa Park, Trinidad and will be ridden by Ricky Jadoo in the 1,600-metre Banks DIH Guyana Cup. Jadoo is the joint rider with most wins in Trinidad with Brian Boodramsingh on 19 wins apiece so far this season. Memories is trained and owned by Shaun Mohammed, who other runner is unraced maiden, Color of Sacrifice.
Trainer Mohammed said,” They are both representing TnT. Memories is not focused as yet, but I am hoping he will settle down in the next couple of days. Color of Sacrifice has some training issues, but should be comfortable by race day. He will be partnered by USA-based rider, Clarence Daniel. He is an unraced colt, but has lots of potential. Experience and his training issue will be his shortcoming.”
