Coordinator for the races, Ravindra Dallip said that Essequibo was well represented by the Spellen’s brother in Bath Settlement. He said that another rider Fiyaz Kassim unfortunately did not take to the starting line due to the inclement weather hinting that more dominance was possible.
Dalip said that in the Novice races, Essequibo copped two second place finishes and one third while in the professional races they secured one first place finish, two second place finishes and one third. They were duly awarded trophies.
Dalip said that he was impressed with the support given by Berbicians during the races and said that R and G mining Enterprise have pledged their support in boosting grass track.
Other races of similar nature will be organized throughout Guyana where the champion will compete. Presently at Middlesex Dalip said a grasstrack ground is being developed to promote the game.
