Formerly owned by Jumbo Jet, Guyana’s champion horse Spankhurst has a new owner in Jermaine Sripal.
Kaieteur Sports – Thirty-four-old businessman Jermaine Sripal became a new horse owner with a big entry to the fraternity when he purchased Guyana’s champion horse for 2023, and the current leading horse for 2024, Spankhurst.
The businessman, who hails from New Amsterdam, is the owner of J’s Supermarket. He was compelled to be a horse owner, witnessing the recent growth in the sport.
Sripal had the opportunity to attend a few races as a fan, and with his vision, he was impressed with the significant growth and development in the sport of kings.
The businessman, who operates two supermarkets in New Amsterdam Berbice, and one in Georgetown, said if he was to become a horse owner, he wants the best horse in Guyana, and that was the Jumbo Jet’s superstar horse, Spankhurst. Sripal’s hefty offer could not have been resisted by Jumbo Jet Racing Stables.
