Plans ongoing to improve 17th Guyana Cup – Mohammed

Chairman of the Jumbo Jet Thoroughbred Racing Committee (JJTRC), Nasrudeen Mohammed Jr, has declared the 16th running of the Guyana Cup 2024 a success.
Activities in this regard were wrapped up this past Sunday at the Rising Sun Turf Club on the West Coast of Berbice (WCB).
Javed Ali and his team at Slingerz Racing Stables were triumphant at the 16th running of the Guyana Cup, when Olympic Kremlin pulled off an upset win in the 1600-metre feature race ahead of Nova Sol in second and defending champion Easy Time in third.
During an interview with media operatives, Mohammed divulged that this year’s staging has so far been the best, and plans are in place to develop the sport further.
Mohammed said, “Well, we have a plan, and it is to elevate the sport and take it to the level that it needs to be, which is to the Sport of Kings, and we are headed there. Well, I think this year has been the best year, right. We had a great turnout, we had great horses, and the fans had a great time. Well, we are working together with authorities to see how soon we can get this. They promise this year we should get legislation, and (we’re) looking forward to that, and it is going to even get better.”
He disclosed his personal expectations that were not fulfilled. “You come out here to win, but you can’t win everything. Well, Easy Time here ran an amazing race with the competition to run third. I didn’t think I thought Statt and Nova Sol would have been – both of them – would have been in front of him. Nova Sol got second, Easy Time got third. It was great,” he shared.
The 16th staging of this premier race meet, Guyana Cup 2024, saw participation of 10 horses showcasing their Talent: Stat, Bossalina, Loyal Company, Beckham James, John Bull, Olympic Kremlin, Nova Sol, Stolen Money, Stormy Victory, Oy Vey, Ritorna Vincetori and Easy Time.
