The Kennard Memorial Turf Club (KMTC) has brought forward their Phagwah Race meet from March 24 to March 17.
The move was made to avoid clashing with the second leg of the Jumbo Jet Thoroughbred Racing Committee (JJTRC) Triple Crown series which will be held at the Rising Sun Turf Club.
Six races are carded for the event which is scheduled to run off at the Bush Lot, Corentyne track for 12:30hrs.
According to the provisional programme, the G1 and Lower, seven furlong event will be the feature event on race day. The sum of $320,000 will go to the winning stable. Other events on the card include: L Non Earners (five furlongs), 3 Year-Old Guyana Bred (seven furlongs), J&K (seven furlongs), L Non Winner (five furlongs) and the L Open (five furlongs).
