In a brief but meaningful handing-over ceremony at Trophy Stall’s Bourda Street location yesterday, representatives from the popular store pledged their support to what is shaping up to be one of the country’s most electric last quarter sporting events.
Set to take place at the rejuvenated Georgetown Turf Club (GTC), the event promises a thrilling day of competition across six action-packed races. The organising trio; Michael Sims, Compton Sancho, and Joel Premo have been hard at work preparing the track and setting the stage for a show-stopping return of turf action to the capital.
“Come next Sunday, horse racing lovers can expect a new GTC experience,” Sims stated during an update. “Massive rehabilitation works have been completed at the venue. The track is currently in its best-ever shape. The GTC is ready to roar back to life with what promises to be a high-octane return to form for Guyana’s racing scene.”
The J-Class feature event will take center stage, with a grand prize of $300,000 up for grabs. Second place will walk away with $150,000, third place earns $75,000, and the fourth-place finisher will collect $37,000.
The competition is fierce, with several well-known names in the racing circuit expected to compete. Among the headliners are Top Gun, looking to secure a crucial late-year victory, along with Nice Time, Top of the Cloud, Ben Laden, and Lion Heart. Additional crowd favorites like Kiss Coco, Randy Filly, Top Ranking Dr, Dray Adapted Son, and Little Tic Tack have also confirmed participation, adding further depth to the race card.
In addition to the J-Class, races will include categories such as the L-Open, Two-Year Guyana Bred, Unclassified, Small Horse, and First-Time Starters, ensuring a broad showcase of talent and thrilling moments for spectators.
Sponsorship for the event continues to grow, with contributions from Carib Beer, Lacho Cambio, Choke Gas Station, B.M. Soats Auto Sale, Ramsay and Sons Construction, M&L Construction, P&P Insurance Brokers, Cush Construction, Badal Feed Company, Fet Fab Gutters, Shacking Racing Stable, Kannard Memorial Turf Club, and Metro Office Max.
“We’d like to thank the Kennard Memorial Turf Club for their generous donation,” Sims added. “It will definitely go a long way. At this time, several other donations are being made, and we extend sincere gratitude to all our donors as we aim to host an electric race day.”
As the countdown continues, all eyes are on the GTC. With upgraded facilities, top-tier talent, and strong community backing, September 21 is shaping up to be a standout moment in Guyana’s horse racing calendar.
