The horses have done good gallop; the jockeys are primed for the occasion and turfites are gearing up for a day of fun and frolic when Kennard Memorial Turf Club stages the Independence horse race meet at the Bush Lot Farm Corentyne headquarters, Sunday May 19 next.
Horse owners are reminded that entries close tomorrow and late entries will not be accepted. Horse owners are further advised that a fee of $5,000 must be paid for each horse entered in the competition and this sum must be paid during the registration period.
There will be 7 exciting races among the country’s top horses with the feature attraction, the D1 & Lower over a distance of 7 furlongs, touted to be a sizzler. In this race, the winner carts off $500,000 while the runner up wins half that amount. The third and fourth place finishers receive $125,000 and $63,000 respectively.
