Top horses are expected to be entered in the 2024 President’s Cup horse meet, which is set for Sunday, September 22, at the Rising Sun Turf Club in Region 5.
Entries for the nine-race programme would be opened on September 11 and closed on September 17. For some, this meeting would serve as a rematch of the Guyana Cup, as the likes of Stolen Money, John Bull, Easy Time and Oy Vey would be among top horses out to mark Guyana Cup champion Olympic Kremlin.
Guyana’s champion horse for 2023, Spankhurst, could also return to action.
Owner of Slingerz Racing Stables, Javid Ali, has confirmed that defending President’s Cup champion horse John Bull would be out to defend his title, while stablemate and champion horse Olympic Kremlin would again be out to dominate.
