Beverage giant Banks DIH Limited continues to support horse racing in Guyana. The latest support came this week ahead of the President’s Cup race meet, which is set for Sunday September 22 at Rising Sun Turf Club, West Coast Berbice.
This year’s President’s Cup meeting would perhaps be the most exciting of its kind, with a star-studded roster of quality horses set to ignite the Rising Sun Turf Club.
More than G$15 million would be up for grabs, and nine races are on the day’s card.
In addition to Banks DIH, the President’s Cup, which is on the calendar of Cricket Carnival Events, is being sponsored by Jumbo Jet Events, Js Supermarket, XCMG, and SinoTruk.
Justin Stoby (Diageo Spirits & Classic Beer Manager) and Dwain Bristol (GT Beer Brand Manager) are in the company of Banks DIH Special Events Manager Mortimer George. The trio presented that company’s sponsorship to a representative of the Jumbo Jet Thoroughbred Racing Committee
The organizers and promoters of the President’s Cup race meeting have expressed gratitude to Banks DIH for the consistency displayed over the years in supporting horse racing. Banks DIH were also major sponsors at last month’s Guyana Cup meeting, which attracted fans and horsemen from around the globe.
The beverage giants have said they are thrilled to play a role in development of horse racing, and are pleased with the continuous growth of this sport.
Some of the top horses have already been confirmed as participating in the President’s Cup meeting.
Slingerz Racing stables will have defending President’s Cup champion John Bull out to defend, while Guyana Cup champion horse Olympic Kremlin would be out to attack the competition and reign supreme.
Js Racing Stables have recently imported two horses from Brazil, and one that will be aspiring to beat Olympic Kremlin at the President’s Cup feature event is Mapa Do Brazil. In addition to Js Racing Stables, Jumbo Jet Racing Stables, Jagdeo’s Racing Stables, and Simply Royal Racing Stables would be aiming to shine at this President’s Cup race meeting.
