Competition will be fierce for Guyana Cup – Pierce
Kaieteur Sports – Master Z and Jumbo Jet trainer Robert Pierce is confident of the top trio from his stables ahead of the Guyana Cup.
Dataman and Anthem King are the favorite horses for many fans but Stat reminded everyone how good he is at the CARICOM Cup defeating Dataman and Olympic Kremlin.
The Barbadian, Pierce, signaled his warning early about Stat and he delivered, but come August 23 at the Guyana Cup, the competition will be on a different level.
“They have to watch Stat. Anthem King and Dataman are going very well. They are doing exceptionally well, and they are all special in their own right.”
“Dataman is preparing very well going into the Guyana Cup. I am pleased with how he is riding. The competition in Guyana Cup will be more competitive for Dataman but the other horses have to come good,” Pierce said.
