Slingerz confident of defending Guyana Cup after Summer Stakes win

The 2025 Guyana Cup is less than one month away, and the champion stables, Slingerz racing stables are confident of defending their title.
Slingerz racing stables are fresh from double wins at Js Summer Stakes; with Ritorna Vincentori and John Bull claiming wins in their respective events.
Javed Ali and his Slingerz racing stables became household names in the last two years with Olympic Kremlin claiming wins at the Guyana Cup and President’s Cup.
On August 17, 2025, Ali is confident that he will continue to dominate the Guyana Cup and further lift the Slingerz name to greater heights.

The Js Summer Stakes main event saw the former Guyana champion horse, Spankurst being the favorite, but the Slingerz horse out of Brazil, Ritorna Vincentori was too hot to handle.
“It’s a great feeling to see Vincentori winning. We know he has a strong finish.”
“This race is a prep race for Guyana Cup. We know Spankhurst was going to come hard early, but we were waiting for them to come around the home turn,” Ali said after the Summer Stakes.
Meanwhile, trainer Glendon Sooklall said the aim was to win two wins from two races.
“We worked hard to get good results. We kept our head on to do the right things with Ritorna Vincentori and John Bull.”
“I expected this win because the horses were working well. This is the same thing that will happen at Guyana Cup. God gave me this knowledge to train champions,” Sooklall said.
The next official race day has been shifted to August 3, at Kennard’s Memorial Turf Club, Bush Lot, East Berbice.
The most-anticipated horse racing event in Guyana is the Guyana Cup, which will run off on Sunday, August 17 at the Rising Sun Turf Club, West Coast Berbice.
