-Ritorna Vincentori set for E Class showdown

THE Port Mourant Turf Club (PMTC) will be the place to be this weekend when Guyana Cup and President’s Cup Champion Olympic Kremlin faces the field for the Metro Mile.
The back-to-back feature race winner, owned by the dominant Slingerz Racing stable will be a part of the feature event at the PMTC’s Showdown of Champions when the blocks fly this Sunday.

Slingerz Stable owner Javed Ali told this publication yesterday that plans to continue the dominance in the sport of kings are well underway and this weekend’s meet with the return of the 2024 Guyana Cup and President’s Cup Champion is one step.
“Things are coming along nicely. The horses are happy and healthy and working well in their paces and it looks like its going to be a good run come Sunday. The Brazilian Trainer Lenio Veria and the Jockey [Acedenir] Gulart are here and are on the ground and we look forward to a good weekend.
Javid will be aiming for two wins on the day, as Ritorna Vincentori will also enter the E Class event.

“We are not taking it for granted that its going to be an easy day. Each race we take seriously like it’s the first race and we do our best and go out; we never try to be too over confident and we expect good competition. Word around the track is that all the horses are doing well and we expect a good run from the field.”
We are going out well prepared and ready to run. Come Sunday its going to be a tough race but we expect the best.”
