– Over 65 horses confirmed to participate

ALL arrangements are in place for the annual Boxing Day horse race meet, organised by the Kennard’s Memorial Turf Club.

In an invited comment yesterday, Justice Cecil Kennard, who is also the club president, confirmed that over 65 horses have been entered for the grand one-day meet.
The retired judge indicated that despite the current inclement weather, the track at Bush Lot Farm, Corentyne, Berbice, is in fine condition.

“Everything is in place…we already put together all arrangements,” the former Police Service Commission head said.
He added “The weather is not too kind to us at the moment, but the track is in fine condition”.

The feature of the day is expected to be a hotly-contested affair with Golden Blue Echo set to defend its title from 2016. In its way this time around would be Vera’s Finally, Brave Sky, Lady Budapest, Goodwill Boy, Honey Flow, Just Call Me Boss, Princess She’s Not and Storm Bird.

Other events carded for the day are, ‘L’-Non Winners, ‘F’ and Lower, two-year-old Guyana Bred Open, ‘L’ Class Open, ‘H’ and Lower, and J3 and ‘K’ and ‘L’ and Lower. The action will gallop off at 13:30hrs and admission to the venue is $1,200 for adults and $600 for children.
