Jumbo Jet pledges support to revamp Bush Lot Turf Club

Prominent businessman and stable owner Nasrudeen Mohamed of Jumbo Jet is extending his financial support to revamp the Bush Lot United Turf Club.
As a horse racing enthusiast and owner of multiple local and international thoroughbreds, his love for horse racing has spanned decades. In this regard, he has pledged over $40 million to development of the Bush Lot United Turf Club and the surrounding community.
This Turf Club has been inactive for the past 20 years, with minimal activity from Gymkhana. The track, however, was partially maintained by the Jumbo Jet Thoroughbred Racing Committee specifically for horses to train for the bigger races.
A similar contribution was made in 2022 toward the refurbishment and upgrading of the Rising Sun Turf Club for hosting of The Guyana Cup. With Nasrudeen ‘Junior’ Mohamed at the helm of this mega-project, the dream is to build an all-weather track that could withstand constant rain through a specially designed mix of aggregate and a new drainage system never before used in Guyana.
The said track would eliminate the cancellation of races and provide a facility for year-round training.
When interviewed at his Wire Dam office, Mohamed indicated, “Over the years I have spent millions of dollars to keep the sport active. We created a brand with Guyana Cup that has seen growth from a couple hundred to thousands. The Jumbo Jet Thoroughbred Committee will continue our work uplifting the sport, and as we embark on this new project, we hope the corporate community can help with contributions to further push horse racing.”
According to Mohamed, his dream is to bring The Guyana Cup home to Bush Lot Turf Club, but to accomplish this would mean major work on the entire facility.
“I am happy to see the dedication and effort that the stable owners, trainers and groomers put in to these horses; and through teamwork, we can and will make the dream work. This project will generate income for the community through increased traffic for vendors and employment of workers to refurbish the Club. The project has already commenced and will take approximately one month to complete.”
