The unbeaten two out of two in Guyana, Vera’s Finally visited Port Mourant Turf Club for the first time Saturday morning. The spectators that were there were surprised at the way this racehorse performed in her exercises. “We taught she would have been shy that it was her first time but she handle the
track just like what she is bred for, a Thoroughbred. I think she will perform better here at Port Mourant than Rising Sun. The reason for that being it’s a bigger track and she will have it all in her favour to extend her long legs on this turf,” Nazrudeen Mohamed Jr. said after the work out.
Many turfites have said she won’t be able to handle the “big yard” which is yet to be seen, but from this indication next Sunday will be a scorcher.
Well over 70 of the country’s to racehorses have entered and all is set for the Jumbo Jet Thoroughbred Racing Committee Horseracing Championships on Sunday at the Port Mourant Turf Club.
Among some of the main prospects in the hunt are Just Call me Boss, Vera’s Finally, It’s My Choice, Storm Bird, Party Time and Ready to Romance among several others. While turfites have their favourites, the field could be considered wide open and all are in with a chance of claiming honours.
