When our news room met with Abdoelrahman of the Club Neutraal Stables, he indicated, “These two horses are very special to Suriname as their parents were imported. After retiring in Suriname we bred them and took great care of the mare (Mother) until birth.

It has been a long wait, four years of dedication and hard work to now journey to Guyana to be a part of the biggest event in the Caribbean, The Guyana Cup. They are not just two horses we purchased they are like our babies.”

He continued, “We have done tremendous work with these two particular horses and we are optimistic that we will take home a win come Guyana Cup. The best supplements and feed on the market have been imported specifically for these two horses. We have an agreement with the Jumbo Jet Stables to utilize their facilities to continue training until Race day.”
