There will no longer be a clash of race meets on March 24 as the Jumbo Jet Thoroughbred Racing Committee (JJTRC) and the Kennard Memorial Turf Club (KMTC) have agreed on a solution “for the best interest of horse racing.”
According to Chairman of the KMTC, Cecil Kennard, his Phagwah meet will “more than likely” be staged a week prior to March 24 at the Bush Lot based Club on the Corentyne.
Kennard told Stabroek Sport yesterday that despite the fact that the meet has been a tradition over the past 40 years, he decided to change the date of his fixture to avoid clashing with the second leg of the JJTRC Triple Crown event which will be staged at the Rising Sun Turf Club.
