TOP horses are expected to enter the 2024 President’s Cup which is set for Sunday, September 22 at the Rising Sun Turf Club.

Entries for the nine-race programme will open on September 11 and close on September 17. For some, this race will serve as rematch to the Guyana Cup, as the likes of Stolen Money, John Bull, Easy Time, Oy Vey among others, will be out to mark the Guyana Cup champion, Olympic Kremlin. Guyana champion horse for 2023, Spankhurst, could also return to the fold.

Owner of Slingerz Racing Stables, Javid Ali confirmed that defending President’s Cup champion, John Bull, will be out to defend his title, while stablemate and champion horse Olympic Kremlin will be out to dominate once more.

Most of these horses began preparations for this year’s President’s Cup already, as they seek to get a taste of that race-day purse, which total of G$15 million will be divided among nine races.

The feature race of the President’s Cup will have a total purse of close to G$ 6,000,000 (six million) dollars and the race will be run at approximately eight furlongs.
