With rain having fallen constantly in the last couple of days, and with more rain forecasted for the coming days, the seven-race card dubbed the People’s Day Horse Meet and Lime, set for staging on Sunday, May 28 at the Rising Sun Turf Club on the West Coast of Berbice in Region Five, has been postponement to a date to be announced.
Fazal Habibulla, promoter of this card, has declared, “Mother Nature knows best. However, I will like to take this opportunity to thank all horsemen who entered their horses for Sunday’s card.”

Despite the change in plans, Fazal has showered praise on the card’s backers.
“I will like to thank my sponsors: Banks DIH, Crawford Family, and Night Eyes Stables, who bought five out of the seven trophies to be handed out to successful owners on the day, and (provided) other assistance. Along with Jumbo Jet and his son Nasrudeen Mohamed, Chris Jagdeo and his son ‘Turbo’.
“Racing is difficult to promote if the promoter/s do not get assistance from sponsors,” Fazal has declared. In his outpouring, he added, “This day was dedicated to the people. The theme of the day was One Guyana, and the ‘People’, who look forward to coming to have a fun-filled day at their racetrack.
“I will like to assure my loyal supporters and sponsors (that) there is good to come out of this perceived disappointment. God knows best, and things will be more enjoyable when this day is staged in the near future. Thanks, everyone!” Fazal declared.
