“Horseracing is the King of Sport, and will remain that way.” That was the sentiments of the organisers of the Ryan Crawford Memorial Turf Club and Sports Facilities annual one day Banks Classic horserace meet set for this Sunday November 18 at the Club’s track, Alness, Corentyne Berbice.
With just days away before race day the principals of the tracks are pulling all the stops to make sure the activity is a memorable one.
So far the entire arena has been spruced up with the Grand Stand, the pavilion, stables and track all having been redone for the intended large turnout of Turfites expected. The Track is undoubtedly the best in the country and with the current dry weather prevailing record breaking times are expected to be recorded.
Meanwhile, the Shariff Business entity of No 4 Village West Coast Berbice, with businesses in general construction, trucking, transportation, gas station, cattle and rice farming and racing stable , on Tuesday handed over a substantial sum to the organisers at the business establishment No4 headquarters as part of their sponsorship deal in the $7M race meet.
Eight races are listed for the day which will see the winners racing away with cash, trophies and other incentives. Among some of the major sponsors are Banks DIH Limited, Digicel, Sankar Auto works, Jumbo Jet Auto Sales, Trophy Stall and Innovation Constructions.
Over 65 of the country’s best horses have been registered so far in what is expected to be an action pack day of racing.
A number of the big names in the horseracing circle have been entered for the feature B and lower event. The race is expected to be a scorcher especially since the horses will be competing for a winning take of $1M and trophy over 1700M with a total purse of $2M. Horses such as the Message, California Strike, the Score Is Even, Mission King, Who So Ever, Marathon Man, Technology, Night Crescendo, Work Force, War Craft, Irish Gel, The Bailiff, Fairy Landing Reina Del Café, and this Trip on Me are among those expected to enter the starting gates.
The other events which are also expected to see full gates are the 3yrs old race for West Indies Bred horses over 1600M, the E and lower 1500M race 1500M, the race for the West Indies Bred two year old animals over 1200M, the event for G and lower animals over 1200M, the H and Lower 1100M sprint, the I2’ and lower 1200M race and the event for animals classified J&K (Division 1 and 2,) over 1200M.
