Preparations have almost been completed for this weekend’s Sprint Classic Horserace meet sponsored by the Nand Persaud Group of Companies through its Sky Plus promotion Group.
The event is set for this Sunday December 10th at the Company’s racing facilities, No36 Village, Macedonia Estate, Corentyne, Berbice.
Dubbed the ‘Nand Persaud Karibee Rice Sprint Classic’, the event has been whipping up much interest. The animals are required to run in a straight line instead of around the track. It is the only venue that races of such sort is done in Guyana.
In an effort to get the facilities in tip top shape the organisers have been doing much needed sprucing up work at the venue. All areas are being given a face lift with the track, rails, paddocks and stables among the areas being given attention.
Seven races are listed on the cards with over $4M in cash, trophies and other incentives up for the taking.
