Lucky seven for Harding

TOP jockey Brian Harding will have seven mounts on Friday’s Arima Race Club 10-race programme.

The day’s racing will go ahead although owners have not received a stake money won since May 17, the date the then Betting Levy Board expired and despite a new board being appointed. According to information from BLB office yesterday, members of the new board are yet to receive their instruments of appointment so subvention cheques to assist the ARC to pay stake money cannot be signed. There was only one change to the past BLB, with Maniram “Boboy” Maharaj replacing Gaston Benjamin. The 11-member BLB comprise chairman Roop Chan Chadeesingh, Maniram Maharaj, Dr Roger d’Abadie, Dr Ryan Shim, Francis Joseph, Peter Wharton, Roland Kowlessar, Keane Govia, Allen Trestrail, Tyron Kowlessar and lone woman Wilma Primus.
