Jockeys, horse owners and turfites are gearing up for a day of excitement when the Kennard Memorial Turf Club 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 11.
Already, organizers have outlined an itinerary for the year that promises lots of action packed events. The next meet is scheduled for May 20 followed by another on August 12. The two other major events are set for October 14 and December 26.
As usual, those attending next month’s event can expect scorching races as horses from all of the top stables are scheduled to grace the tracks. The feature attraction, a race over 7 furlongs, will see several thoroughbreds battling for a first prize of $500,000 with the second place finisher taking home half that amount. The third and fourth place finishers win $125,000 and $63,000 respectively.
The race between the 3 years old will comprise animals that are Guyanese and West Indian bred thus heightening the competitive spirit. The first place finisher of this race, also over a distance of 7 furlongs, carts off $400,000 with the second place finisher getting $200,000. The third and four place finishers receive $100,000 and $50,000 respectively.
Before the day is through there will be five more races including the I2 and lower, J and lower, H1 and lower, and the G1 and lower. These races will all attract lucrative prizes and will be keenly contested.
Horse owners are reminded that entries close on Saturday March 4 and late entries will not be accommodated.
Owners and trainers are also reminded that they could have their horses registered through Justice Kennard (226-1399, 225-4818 0R 623-7609), Roonarine Matadial (325-3192), Ivan Dipnarine (331-03160, Lionel Moonsammy 614-5812) or Isabelle Beaton (325-3007, 693-7812).
