“Clash at D Big Yard” set to ignite Port Mourant Turf Club

The horse racing schedule is heating up, and before next month’s President’s Cup, fans will be treated to “Clash at D Big Yard.” The event is set for Sunday, September 28, and will serve as ideal preparation for the prestigious President’s Cup.

More than G$10 million in cash and prizes will be up for grabs, with eight races on the provisional programme. The feature race will be contested by horses four years old and over, open class, at a distance of 1600 metres. The G$4 million purse will see the winner walking away with G$2,000,000.
The other races on the provisional card include the three-year-old imported open to F Class, G Class and Lower and Open to F Class WI. Bred a non-winner in Guyana, an H-class winner of two races & lower and open to three-year-old WI Bred horses in Guyana, Guyana Bred two-year-old maiden, J3 & Lower Open to Guyana-bred three-year-old horses, L Class Open, and the J/K/L maidens Guyana-bred first-time starters.
Races will run under the Guyana horse racing rules, and entries will close on September 23 at 16:00h.
Horses for the “Clash at D Big Yard” can be entered via Fazal Habibulla on 611-1141, Dennis Deroop on 640-6396, Jagdeo’s office at Number One Road on 322-0369, Ginjo on 618-7278, and Simon Prince on +1 305-509-9821.
Traditionally, the Port Mourant Turf Club is home to Jagdeo Racing Stables, a stable that has been quiet in recent times. The Corentyne-based owner, who recently imported new horses for the Guyana Cup, will be hoping that familiar conditions favour his team.
But the competition will be fierce, with JS Racing Stables, Jumbo Jet Racing Stables, Simply Royal Racing Stables, and Slingerz Racing Stables all set to renew their rivalries in what promises to be an exciting day of racing.
