…New date to be announced
The Gymkhana will be held at a date later than June 16
The Rising Sun Turf Club has postponed its Gymkhana which was set for June 16, due to unforeseen circumstances. The organizing body of the Gymkhana is apologising to sponsors Jumbo Jet and AJM for the inconvenience caused, and is extended apologies to horse owners.
A release from the organizers has said the Gymkhana will be held after the August 11 Guyana Cup. This Gymkhana, once held, would be an annual event, ensuring the younger horses and owners get involved and win big in Guyana’s horse racing.
With reliable sponsors in Jumbo Jet and AJM, the Gymkhana, which would cater for lower classes of horses, would have on offer lucrative prize money and bragging rights. Meanwhile, horse owners and trainers who had already paid entry fees for the now postponed Gymkhana would be refunded by the organizers.
This postponed Rising Sun Turf Club Gymkhana has a feature race for G Class and Lower horses, the winner of which would be rewarded with G$300,000.
Other races for the Gymkhana are the J Class and Lower, Three-year-old Guyana-bred winner of one race and maidens, the L Class race, two-year-old trial, L Class Non-winner/low earner and L Class Low Earners of the day and farm horses.
The Gymkhana organizers will keep fans, horse owners and trainers updated in relation to future developments. Horse racing fans will have action on July 14 at the Port Mourant Turf Club, when the Caricom race meet takes center stage. That event will be a preview and preparation for the marquee horse racing event, the Guyana Cup, which would be run off on August 11 at Rising Sun. New horses are expected to feature in the Jumbo Jet-organized Guyana Cup horse meet.
