Port Mourant Turf Club to host horse meet on Nov 6

Racing enthusiasts are keenly anticipating scintillating action when the Port Mourant Turf Club hosts its horse meet on Sunday November 6. With the club featuring new and improved facilities, more than 50 horses have been registered to participate in this much-talked-about event.

More than $5M will be up for grabs in prizes, and the talk of the community is about the top horses coming from the top racing stables: Jumbo Jet, Jagdeo, and Master Z, among others.
Notable entries thus far are “Our Stuie”, who is returning after placing third at the Guyana Cup; “Lookin to Heaven”, the recent winner at Bush Lot, West Coast Berbice; Jessica Pride (second-place horse at President’s Cup); “Coup d’etat” (third-place finisher at President’s Cup); and Golden Blue Ecko (second-place finisher at Kennard’s Memorial). Additionally, Everesting and Vera’s Finally from Master Z and Jumbo Jet Stables are also expected to feature.
Ten entries have already been registered to contest the races for two-year-old horses. Among those are Starlight, Red Ammunition, Legacy, Top Gun, and Party Hard.
In the G class race, Nuclear Fire, American Traveller, Princess Steffani, Memories, and Golden Dor are registered to contest. The J Class race should be a thriller, because a rematch is brewing between Red Jet and Foreign Link.
Skittles, Cash Return, and Miss Olympic are also listed for this race.
Seven races are on the cards, and the winner of the feature race will bag one million dollars. The first race will be the L Open, for which a top prize of $200,000 would be paid. Race two will be for two-year-old maiden animals, and the top horse will bag $400,000 while the second-placed horse would collect $200,000.
The J Class non-starter and unplaced 2022 race will see the top horse bagging $200,000. The H & Lower race, which is the fourth race of the day, would see the top horse being rewarded with $500,000. The K & Lower race will see the top horse bagging $300,000, while the J Class race will see the top horse collecting $300,000.
All races would be run over a distance of six furlongs, but
Race Seven, the final race of the day, would be contested over one mile, and in addition to the first-place prize of $1 million, the second-placed horse would be rewarded with $500,000 and the third-placed horse with $250,000.
The races would be run under the rules of the Guyana Horse Racing Authority. The club reserves the right to cancel/reframe any race mentioned above. Seven horses are required to start before the fourth-place prize is paid, and five horses before the third prize is paid.
