ON Sunday July 22, at the Bush Lot United Turf Club, the country’s top locally-bred horses will be in action at the ‘Rock and Come In’ promotion’s ‘Mid-Summer Derby when they will do battle for over $2M in cash and other prizes.

Narissa Gopaul, one of the organisers, told the media at yesterday’s launching of the event at the Giftland Mall, that the meet will cater only for the ‘L Class’ of horses, where the winner of the featured event will pocket $400,000 while the horse coming second is set to ride away with $200,000 and third place gets $100,000.

Prizes will also be given to the champion jockey, trainer and the champion stable, as Gopaul pointed out that the event has been receiving tangible support from the corporate community; listing Ansa McAl under their STAG Beer Brand, Republic Bank, Giftland Mall, Pas Cargo, Park Square Fun City and Jumbo Jet as some of the sponsors of the event.

Lynton Luke, STAG Beer representative, said his company was delighted to support the July 22 event, since they understand how important the sport of horse racing is for the people of West Coast Berbice.

Arian Brown, a member of Giftland’s marketing team, pointed out that the mega mall will be on board via the ‘Urban Life’ clothing store and just like Luke, pointed to their interest in the sport because of the love in the Bush Lot community and its environs.

 Meanwhile, Gopaul encouraged everyone to support the meet, telling the media that with $1500 to enter the venue, an unforgettable day of racing is promised.
