Slight changes for Port Mourant Turf Club Easter Cup horse meet
Systems are moving apace for the Port Mourant Turf Club’s Easter Cup horse meet on Sunday, March 31. All the top horses from the top racing stables are slated to take centre stage, and more than 10 million dollars in cash and prizes would be up for grabs during the seven races that are on the cards.
Seven races are carded for the Easter Cup horse meet at Port Mourant on Easter Sunday
Two changes have been made to the programme, in that the E Class race has been cancelled and the three-year-old race will now be only for Guyana-bred horses.
The feature event is the Easter Cup, which will be open to all horses and would be contested over a distance of 1700 metres for a top cash prize of G$1.5M.
Newly imported Trinidadian horse Soca Harmony is expected to debut in Guyana, while Jumbo Jet’s top duo of Spankurst and Easy Time will be aiming to extend their dominance. Stolen Money, fresh from a win at Bush Lot, will also be a main challenger at Port Mourant on Sunday.
Additional races include the three-year-old Guyana-bred, H3 & Lower non-winner in Guyana five years and over, ‘L’ Class & J 3 maiden. The ‘G’ & Lower and first-time West Indies starters, J & Lower four years and above and the four-year-old West Indies and Guyana-bred races, which would complete the day’s event.
All races would be run under the guidance of the Guyana Horse Racing Authority rules, and races are subject to change. Only jockeys with less than five (5) wins for year 2023 will be allowed to ride in the ‘L’ Class and J3 maiden races. No non-Guyana jockeys would be allowed to compete.
Horse owners are asked to contact Ginjo on telephone 618-7278 for any information or to make queries.
The Easter Cup horse meet is sponsored by KP Jagdeo General Contractors, Jumbo Jet, and Old Broom Longue.
