Will Guyana’s premier trotter, Score’s Even, return to its winning ways or is another upset on the cards?
The burning question will be answered tomorrow when the highly anticipated President’s Cup runs off at the Port Mourant Turf Club.
In excess of $8M will be on offer at the lucrative eight-race meeting which will be highlighted by the A and Lower 1700m event.
For that feature race, all eyes will be on Score’s Even, the 1000-lb Kentucky, USA bred grey gelding who had its two-race season winning streak snapped on Easter Sunday at the same venue by the Colin Elcock trained Dark Bay Mare, CP Got Even.
Handlers of the Simply Royal Stable stalwart insists that the loss by about six lengths was an aberration and they will be looking forward to taking home the hefty $1.2M first place winnings.
However, top thoroughbreds like CP Got Even, stable mate, Curfew Tower, Red and Lovely, Just Call Me Boss, Run Na Na Run, Diplomatic Cat and Jack In My Style will be galloping with their eyes on the bounty.
The track is said to be in pristine condition and turfites are expected to experience an entertaining day of racing.
Other events carded include the K Class Non winners (1000m), E1 and Lower (1300), G1 and Lower (1300m), J3 and Lower (1200m), H1 and Lower & 3 Year-old W.I Bred maidens (1300m), J1 and Lower and 3 Year-old Guyana Bred winners (1200m) and the 3 Year-old W.I Bred (1400m).
The event is a collaborative effort of the Port Mourant Turf Club and the friends of the PPP/C.
Action starts at 12:30hrs.
