According to Compton Sancho, apart from the feature G class event, the 3 years and I class races are expected to produce fireworks when the Rising Sun Turf Club in collaboration with the Guyana Association of Women’s Police host a grand one day horserace meet on June 25 at the Rising Sun West Coast, Berbice track.
Six races are carded for the day and over three million dollars in cash and trophies will be up for the taking.
The entries have been growing with over 45 horses being registered up to last week. Sancho noted that the racetrack is in excellent condition despite the recent inclement weather, it’s dry and anticipated to produce scorching action. Horse owners are encouraged to register as this process is set to close tomorrow, June 19. Owners of those horses must play at least $5,000 for each horse at the time of entry.

Other events listed are the I class and three-year old Guyana bred, J 1 and lower, K class and lower, L 1 and lower and L 2 and the unclassified.
