Kaieteur Sports – Brazil’s proud tradition of producing world-class racehorses and elite professionals is once again drawing international attention, this time from Guyana, where horse racing is entering an exciting new era.
With the sport rapidly developing in Guyana, Brazilian bloodlines and expertise have become a prime target for owners looking to elevate competition at home and abroad.
Guyana has long followed the success of Brazilian racing. Now, its owners are taking concrete steps to strengthen that connection.
Brazilian horses have begun to arrive in increasing numbers, and trainers and other professionals are finding opportunities in a market eager to grow.
At the centre of this developing relationship is trainer Lênio Vieira, who has emerged as the key link between the two countries.
Vieira has been responsible for identifying, preparing, and exporting promising Brazilian horses to Guyana, helping raise the overall quality of racing there.
Among the most active investors is Slingerz Racing, one of Guyana’s leading and most ambitious stables.
Slingerz Racing has shown a strong commitment to Brazilian talent, not only purchasing horses to compete in Guyana’s premier events, but also keeping runners in training at the Hipódromo da Gávea, where they can pursue major victories on Brazilian soil.
That strategy is already paying dividends. Last Monday, Olympic National delivered Slingerz Racing its first major victory in Brazil, winning the Much Better Classic with authority. The breakthrough signaled that the stable’s investment in Brazilian horses was well-placed.
Just days later, the momentum continued. Galo White produced a commanding performance to capture the Almirante Tamandaré Grand Prix (G2).
The grey left no doubt about his superiority, securing another high-profile win and further energizing the Guyanese owners.
These results have only strengthened Slingerz Racing’s commitment to Brazil and encouraged additional Guyanese investors to explore opportunities in the country.
The interest now goes beyond acquiring horses for export; several owners are considering maintaining permanent strings in Brazil to compete directly on the nation’s top racetracks.
As Brazil and Guyana deepen their collaboration, both nations are beginning to write an important new chapter in South American racing.
