THE Rising Sun Turf Club will come alive on Sunday, February 25, when the Jumbo Jet Thoroughbred Racing Committee hosts a grand one-day horse-race meet. Eight races are carded for the day and close to GY$10,000,000 will be up for grabs.
The feature event will be open to all imported and locally bred horses, running at a distance of 1600 metres. The top horse of the feature event will bag GY$ 2,000,000.
Additionally, the provisional programme includes the West Indian-bred four-year-old and West Indian three-year-old horses running at 1600 metres, and the three-year-old Guyana-bred non winners of two races (1400 metres) are some of the races on the cards.
All the top horses and jockeys are expected to ignite the Rising Sun Turf Club at the Mashramani event.
