KINGSTON, Jamaica – Following a failed meeting yesterday (July 11) with racing stakeholders regarding an increase in purse money, then cancellation of this weekend’s race meets as no nominations were received, and the subsequent closure of the race track for exercise, the promoting company of local racing, Supreme Ventures Racing, and Entertainment Limited (SVREL) has issued the following statement.
The statement is published below.

The first thing need to done is open the track so that horses can work
Then sit with all (stakeholders ) as you call them and work out a reasonable amount of purse money for each category or class of race with the starting point of $800,000 for 180,000 claiming race “ remember I said starting point
Also the track is as duty as hell on race day it is as if the horses are racing on grass in the old days after every race the track is water and rack not any more
That is an idea but what will happen to all those people that have investment in horses in all areas, owners, Farms, trainers, grooms, etc
MR DALHOUSE YOUVE HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD..EXTRA .!EXTRA !READ ALL ABOUT IT.
"MASTER PLAN NEEDED FOR HORSE RACING'' i must be dreaming.. BUT ANOTHER RACETRACK ??
It appear that SVREL is not being truthful. We hat the trainers, owners, grooms etc needs to do us get an independent arbitrator to resolve this. Let SVREL show their gross receipts for 2022 and once verified an appropriate increase can be had for all involved. Because the increase of $27 as suggested by SVREL is not realistic in this time.
