Jumbo Jet Triple Crown horse race meet called off

WITH the current inclement weather affecting most outdoor activities, organisers from the Jumbo Jet Thoroughbred Racing Committee have decided to cancel the Triple Crown horse race meet.

The start of the Triple Crown series was first postponed in early March. It was scheduled for the Rising Sun Turf Club but the organisers were forced to reschedule the first leg due to persistent rainfall, which left the track in a soggy state and unfit for racing.

The second leg of the Triple Crown horse race meet was to be held on April 1 at the Port Mourant Turf Club, with the third and final leg billed for the Rising Sun Turf Club on April 29. However, those races were also called off due to the prolonged inclement weather.
Chronicle Sport was also informed yesterday that the organising committee is now focusing on the Guyana Cup, which is billed for August 19.

Fans can still look out for the drawing of the grand raffle which was to be done during the Triple Crown series.

This will be drawn at the Guyana Cup. It was also noted that the cost of the raffle tickets has been reduced to $2,000 due to the inconvenience caused by the delays and postponements. A Nissan Tida car, a motorcycle and other attractive prizes are on offer.
