The organisers of the Port Mourant Turf Club Easter Cup horse race made a unanimous decision to adjust the programme, with the feature race now set at 1750 metres. Initially, the feature race for the April 26 card was scheduled for one mile.
A total of 11 races, including the jockey dash, are expected to take place. This race day will be the second nomination day for the Guyana Cup, which is slated for August 23 at a venue to be announced.
The feature race will have a total purse of $4 million, and the winner will be rewarded $2 million in the Premium Asphalt-sponsored Easter Cup feature.
Other races on the provisional programme include the Easter Sprint, open to all horses four years and older; the Three-Year-Old Imported; and the F Class and Lower, open to four- and five-year-old imported horses that have not raced within the last six months, as well as six-year-olds and older that have not raced for over a year.
Additionally, other races in the programme include the Three-Year-Old and Over West Indian Bred; the Open Three-Year-Old Native Bred; K/L Maiden; the H Class and Lower for West Indian-bred horses that have not won in Guyana in 2025; the Three-Year-Old and Over I/J/K Class; the Open L Class; and the Jockey Dash.
Racing will be conducted under the new Guyana Rules of Racing.
The race was initially set for Easter Sunday, but due to inclement weather, the race date was shifted to Sunday, April 26.
