Popular Rose Hall Town Businessman and owner of the Poonai Pharmacy, Poonai Bhiroog was elected to head an Interim Committee of the Guyana Horse Racing Authority (GHRA) that will oversee the affairs of
horseracing in Guyana at the moment.
Bhigroo was elected following a meeting held last Sunday on the West Coast of Berbice.
The newly elected body replaced the previous administration which was inactive for a number of years.
The other members are Fazal Habibulla (First vice-president), Dennis De Roop, (Second vice-president), Mohindra Persaud (Third vice-president), Godwyn Allicock (secretary), Francis Chichester (treasurer) and Issac Dallo (assistant secretary/treasurer).
The committee members are: Nazrudeen Mohammed (Junior), Thribhuwan Jagdeo and Lakeram Sookdeo.
The Jockeys’ representative is Alan Padmore, while Colin Elcock and Zaheer Sheriff are the trainers’ and horse owners’ representatives.
After the elections, Bhiroog said his immediate task is to raise the standard of the sport and to attract more small stables to horseracing.
In 2014, a key step to regularise the sport was taken when the then Legal Adviser to the Guyana Horse Racing Authority (GHRA), Rajendra Poonai, handed over draft legislation on the sport to then Minister of Sports Dr Frank Anthony.
Nothing much was done by the previous administration with regard to the implementation of the legislation.
