Phagwah Day will be celebrated within the next three weeks and once again Jockeys, horse owners and turfites are gearing up for a day of excitement when the Kennard Memorial Turf Club in collaboration with the Berbice Bridge Company presents its Phagwah Meet, a day of exciting races and unbridled fun, at the club’s Bush Lot Farm, Corentyne Berbice headquarters on Sunday March 24.
As usual, those attending this month’s event can expect scorching races as horses from all of the top stables are scheduled to grace the tracks.
The feature attraction, the B and Lower over one mile, will see several thoroughbreds battling for a first prize of $1,000,000 with the second place finisher taking home half that amount. The third and fourth place finishers win $250,000 and $125,000 respectively.
In all there will be seven events including the race between the 3 years old, Guyanese nurtured thoroughbreds where the first place finisher of this race, over a distance of 7 furlongs, carts off $280,000 with the second place finisher getting $140,000. The third and fourth place finishers receive $70,000 and $35,000 respectively.
Before the day is through there will be five more races including the J and lower, G1 and lower, the J3 and lower, I1 and Lower and the F1 and lower. These races will all attract lucrative prizes and will be keenly contested either over 6 furlongs or 7 furlongs.
