Easy Time anticipated to headline the show
Cricket Carnival President Cup Horse Race Meet…
Registration ends September 19
Kaieteur Sports – Easy Time earned to ranking with a mind-blowing performance at the recently held Guyana Cup on August 13, 2023 at Rising Sun Turf Club. As his name implies, he was able to capture an ‘Easy’ win in record ‘Time’ for his first start in Guyana.
This champion thoroughbred arrived less than two weeks before the race and has since been training to maintain the high standards set.
Preparations are already in progress for his next major race, the prestigious Cricket Carnival President’s Cup (CCPC) carded for Saturday, September 23, at the Rising Sun Turf Club, Berbice. This much-anticipated race is hailed as the rematch of Guyana with all the top racing stables set to compete for over $15,000,000 in cash and prizes.
Alado, who had a blockbuster year in 2022, recorded a double win in the Guyana Cup & the Cricket Carnival President’s Cup. Now in 2023, he is the defending champion for the CCPC and has to show his consistency to overcome some of the heavy hitters expected to arrive for the mega race.
The bigger threat looming is Brazil-bred El Tarzan owned by Slingerz Racing Stable who finished second to Easy Time after giving the field a head start to show his strength and ability to grab the runner-up slot.
Easy Time is expected to put forth another good performance at the upcoming event.
Trinidadian-based rider, Nobel Abrego, who won over 1500 career races confirmed he will be returning to Guyana on September 17 to assist with El Tarzan’s preparation along with trainer John O’Brien.
Abrego declared he is confident if El Tarzan breaks evenly with Easy Time the race result will be much different. Abrego related, “El Tarzan went up at the start when the gates flew, and lost a lot of ground. Next time when meet up. It will not be an ‘Easy Time.’ El Tarzan will be flying, so let them know the time will not be easy.”
However, Easy Time’s trainer Nasrudeen ‘Junior’ Mohamed explained, “After Easy Time’s big win for Guyana Cup I was positive that with the right training and care, we were on the road to another Champion similar to Alado. I assessed him based on the last performance and now I am able to work on his weaknesses and enhance his strengths. El Tarzan will not only need a good start but will probably need to improve way further to come close to Easy Time.”
Entries for the President’s Cup races officially started on September 13 and will end on September 19.
