Guyana Cup sprint champion Sir London of Infinity Racing Stables will face former standout Stat in the President’s Cup Sprint Classic on Sunday, November 29, at Rising Sun Turf Club. The open race will be contested over 5¼ furlongs, with eight horses competing for a total purse of $2,812,500.
Nina’s Last Gift, Norbello, Rei Da Brincadeira, Night Beacon, Order and Progress and Companheiro Leal complete the field.
Daven Chattergoon of Infinity Racing Stables said preparations were going well. He said the horses have been training early so they can return to the stables to eat and get enough rest.
“Competing in the sprint is Stat, and hopefully Sir London gets to him at the finish pole. I am encouraging everyone to come and see the President’s Cup,” Chattergoon said.
The Sprint Classic winner will earn $1,500,000, with $750,000 for second, $375,000 for third and $187,500 for fourth. The entry fee is $169,000.
