Tickets are available online for the rich Guyana Cup Day of horse racing, which will be held on Sunday, August 13, at the Rising Sun Turf Club.
Patrons and horsemen can purchase their tickets online at -Events Details – CaribTix.
Nasrudeen Mohamed of the Jumbo Jet Thoroughbred Racing Committee(JJTRC) has advised, “Guyana Cup day of racing is only second best to the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), which will be hosted in Guyana. This is one of the biggest social events in this country’s sporting calendar. It literally brings the country to a halt.”

Asked about persons who are not computer literate, Mohamed answered, “It could be bought at Jumbo Jet’s offices in Georgetown and Berbice. It will be sent to your phone through Whatsapp. To prevent ‘scalping’ or hoarding to make profit, we have also limited the purchase of tickets to five. We do not want ‘scalpers’ to hoard tickets and sell at exorbitant prices to patrons or horsemen. My advice: buy your tickets early, to be on the safe side. We are trying to avoid ticket sales at the gates because it creates problems. We want patrons to enter and exit without any delays.”
Regarding the day’s card, he declared, “We are inviting other Caribbean racing islands to come and compete. And yes, Alado will be defending his title.”
He continued, “We are having eight(8) races on the day, with the marquee event being the 1,600-metre Guyana Cup, with a Sprint Classic and a 1,600-metre Derby for three-year-olds Guyana-bred West Indian-bred horses. Horsemen will be competing for close to Gy$30M in purse moneys. Where else are purses of this nature up for grabs? Only in Guyana.”
Mohamed, in closing, shared, “I have to thank the sponsors for their continued support for this historic day of racing. Without them, these ventures would only be ideas. Sponsors, I am eternally grateful for your support. We promise this year will be spectacular, that will reach out to millions worldwide.”
