Guyana Cup 2025: Dataman claims epic win in the dark
– J’s Racing Stables claim 4 wins
In the dark at Rising Sun Turf Club, Dataman stole victory to win the Guyana Cup 2025. The Master Z Racing Stables horse won the one-mile race, which had a cash payout of $20 million.
Defending champion Olympic Kremlin was not able to face the dark and the jockey was unseated in what was a high-risk race.
