Grass track racing fans will be in for a treat later this month, as Sheik Yassen Promotions have stolen the spotlight yet again with the Stag Beer Grass track finals which is scheduled for Sunday November 27 at the Ogle Community Centre ground, East Coast Demerara.
The event which was a huge crowd attraction in February at the same venue has ten races carded for the day across three categories (Professional, Novices and Chappy).

The professional riders will have five races at 12 laps while the Novices will have 10 laps and the Chappy will race five laps.
However, the organiser revealed that the feature race of the day will be the five-lap veterans’ race which will feature some of the stalwarts of grass track racing in Guyana.
More so, Yassen, who is also the Chairman of the Guyana Grass track Hall of Fame Committee, explained that the likes of Stanley Ming, Kevin Jeffrey, Avery Gomes, Keith Ramnarine, Mike Correia and Jerry “ Max” Govia will be honoured.
Currently Ravin Rajkumar leads the points standings with 65 points while defending champion Andy Wong is in second place on 60 points while Raj Rajkaran is tied in third place on 30 points with young Steven De Nobrega.
Yassen is extremely grateful for the support of Rishie Ramdiaram who donated the champion rider trophy.
