Ryan Crawford horse meet postponed to June 2 – inclement weather responsible

The onset of inclement weather has caused the Ryan Crawford Memorial Turf Club (RCMTC) horse meet to be postponed from its Sunday May 26 scheduled date (today) to Sunday June 2.
More than 40 horses are thus far set to compete in the 6 categories of races this will be run off at the club’s Alness village turf on the Corentyne Coast in East Berbice; and more than two million dollars in prizes are up for grabs.
Speaking to Guyana Times Sport in regard to this development, RCMTC president Marcel Crawford Jnr said, “We have had a lot of horses registering for the event. Despite the date being shifted on previous occasions, everything is a go. The feature race will be the J Class and Lower, and that promises to be a thriller.
“We are expecting there to be no rain on June 2, but even if there is, the track has been groomed to withstand the weather and run off a successful meet. But, in the end, we are just praying for good weather, come next week.”
Some of the horses that are slated to participate in this event are: ‘Not This Time’, hailing from Sophia; ‘The Rock’, out of Bush Lot; Golden Blue Echo, Keep on Swinging, Awesome Friday, First Prince, Lucky Star, TNT, Red Jet, Byron Osona, Ebony Prince, Flo Joe, Silver Charm, Up Front, Kentucky Woman, and Massepequa Doctor.
The day’s events listed on the card are as follows: the I and Lower, the J and Lower, the L3 Unclassified, the L1 and Lower, L2 and Lower and the L and Lower. All prizes are inclusive of trophies. Individual trophies and other incentives will be given to riders who have performed exceptionally well.
