“We not into talking business”: Slingerz Racing Stables aims to defend President’s Cup title
The Guyana Cup and President’s Cup championship winning stable, Slingerz Racing Stables is a strong believer in the saying ‘action speaks louder than words’.
While other racing stables are sharing their sentiments on their chances of winning the President’s Cup come Sunday, September 22 at Rising Sun Turf Club, West Coast Berbice, Javid Ali and his Slingerz Racing Stables are focused on successfully defending their title.
“We not into the talking business; come President’s Cup 2024, we would be there to defend our title,” Ali said.
“We know there are a lot of very good horses in the race and all of them have the ability to win on the day, so we would be fully prepared and ready to compete. Our team is on the ground doing their best in getting the horses ready for Sunday coming.”
The decorated Slingerz Racing Stables will have the defending President’s Cup champion, John Bull out to defend his title, while the Guyana Cup champion Olympic Kremlin will be out to attack and reign supreme. Olympic Kremlin, who was imported from Brazil, looked a class apart at the Guyana Cup with a crushing win.
J’s Racing Stables has recently imported two horses from Brazil, and one of them that is being eyed to beat Olympic Kremlin at the President’s Cup feature event is Mapa Do Brazil. In addition to J’s Racing Stables, Jumbo Jet Racing Stables, Jagdeo’s Racing Stables, and Simply Royal Racing Stables will be out for glory at the President’s Cup.
Reliable reports have come from the Corentyne area in Berbice, that more new horses were imported after the Guyana Cup, last month. The high calibre of horses sets the playing field level, and fans will be treated to another episode of quality horse racing.
Nine races are on the programme for the 2024 President’s Cup, and more than $15 million will be up for grabs. The feature race, running at approximately eight furlongs, will be open to all horses, three years old and over. Registration has opened and should close on September 17. Organisers have indicated that no late entries are permitted.
