Registration closes for KMTC Boxing Day Extravaganza

The Kennard’s Memorial Turf Club (KMTC) annual Boxing Day tradition which started since 1936 continues this year with a one-day seven-race programme at Bush Lot Farm, Corentyne Coast.
The feature event this year will see horses classified B2 and Lower covering a distance of nine furlongs with the winner set to ride away with $1,000,000 while $500,000 will go to the second place finisher, $250,000 for the third and $125,000 for the fourth place finisher.
