By Samuel Whyte
Kaieteur Sports – As if to say this is my turf, Mapa Do Brasil of the J’s Racing Stables again took the feature event when the Kennard Memorial Turf Club held its Phagwah Horserace meet.

After winning the feature event at the last meet held at the venue, the feature event dubbed the Metro stakes and sponsored by the Metro Stationary and Office supplies saw the company doling out over $4M.
The animal showed class as it beat the field and raced away with the $2M first prize and Metro Cup in the grueling 9 furlongs event.
Ridden by champion jockey Ronald Appadhu, the animal bid its time perfectly and as the animals hit the turn heading into the homestretch, Jockey Appadhu began to give the animal full reign. Mapa Do Brasil moved forward and after a brief tussle with front runner Grande Rainha, Mapa Do Brasil surged away to win easily in the end to bring glory to owner Jermain Shripaul and team.
Grande Rainha ran an impressive second ahead of Stormy Victory with Companheiro Lea finishing fourth.
The F class event saw Frontline Warrior of the Jagdeo Racing stable with Jockey Michael Semple on the perch accelerating down the homestretch to take the top money and trophy from Stolen Money, while Full Liberty was curtailed finishing third.
The event for three-year-old Guyana-bred maiden horses saw Manisha of the Raj stable winning easily as Miracle Boy, Granite Storm and Glory Queen had nothing to shout about. Settling for the next three spots.
