‘Boboy’ on Betting

ATTORNEY Roop Chan Chadeesingh is back as Betting Levy Board boss.

But owners and trainers are still left “holding strain,” since assent to the appointments of the new BLB has not been signed, so payments of stake money cannot be made.  And it appears this assent will not be signed for some time, since President George Maxwell Richards is on vacation leave. The BLB is the agency which collects all taxes from all local betting shops   and in turn helps the Arima Race Club to pay stakes.  This new board shows just one change with affable Maniram “Boboy” Maharaj an owner-trainer- breeder, replaces Gaston Benjamin.Chadeesingh now heads the BLB which comprise, Maharaj, Kearne Govia, Dr Roger d’Abadie, Dr Ryan Shim, Allen Trestrail, Tyron Kowlessar, Peter Wharton, Ronald Kowlessar and lone woman Wilma Primus.
