Turfites get ready, the first leg of the 2019 Triple Crown runs off in exactly one week at the Rising Sun Turf.
According to head of the Jumbo Jet Thoroughbred Racing Committee, Nasrudeen Mohamed Jr., in excess of 65 of the nation’s top steeds have been registered for the nine-race card which fetches a hefty $7M in cash and prizes.
For the three legs, the C Class event with a bounty of $1M each will be the main attraction.
Next Sunday, the thoroughbreds will race for 1400m on the fast Rising Sun Track.
Mohamed told this publication yesterday that “some surprise entries” along with TNT and Storm Bird will go along for the gallop in the seven-horse field.
The card will also include events for trotters in the F Class and lower, Three-Year old Guyana Bred, H and Lower, J/K and lower, K Class and L and lower.
Starting time is 12:30hrs. See you there.
