The 2026 Guyana Cup sprint champion Sir London of the Infinity Racing Stables is ready to take on the former top horse, Stat, on November 29 at Rising Sun Turf Club.
The two top contenders for the President’s Cup sprint will lock horns in the 5¼ furlong classic with a purse close to GY$3 million.
In addition to Sir London and Stat, Nina’s Last Gift, Norbello, Rei Da Brincadeira, Night Beacon, Order and Progress, and Companheiro Leal are the other star-studded sprint fields.
According to Daven Chattergoon of the Infinity Racing Stables, training is going very well. He noted that the horses are working on the track early so they can return home to eat and have adequate 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.
