Banks DIH pledges continuous support for Guyana Cup

The 16th running of the Guyana Cup, organized by the Jumbo Jet Thoroughbred Racing Committee (JJTRC), will again be fuelled by the beverage giants of Guyana, long-time sponsors Banks DIH Limited.
This grand equine showdown is set for Sunday August 11 at the Rising Sun Turf Club, where fans would be treated to 10 high-octane races and there would be over 40 million dollars in cash and prizes on offer.
Banks DIH Special Events Manager Mortimer George, speaking at the recent Guyana Cup press conference and drawing, pledged that company’s continuous support for this family-oriented horse-racing event.

“We at Banks DIH, we are thrilled to be a sponsor of the 16th running of the Guyana Cup, the biggest horse race event of the year,” George said. “It’s an honour to support an event that brings such talented competitors and supreme horses, and also passionate fans.”
The well-established beverage company strongly believes in dedication, perseverance and excellence, and those qualities have actually been trademarks of the Jumbo Jet Thoroughbred Racing Committee.
“Banks DIH has always believed in the value of dedication, perseverance and excellence, which are values in sports,” George has said.
“The Guyana Cup is a wonderful opportunity to engage with the community, (and) we are proud to be part of an event that not only entertains, but brings people together and support local businesses.
“Once again, we are delighted to be part of this event, and we will continue to support this initiative throughout,” George has promised.
The Rising Sun Turf Club will be transformed into an electrifying atmosphere for the entire family. Children will be treated to a fun park, and fans will be thrilled to have great vibes when the DJ competition takes centre stage after the races.
Racing is expected to start at 11:50h, and close to 100 horses have had their entries confirmed for the grand one-day horse racing event.
