RACING AT Santa Rosa Park, Arima has been suspended until further notice as the Jockeys Association of TT are protesting monies owed to the local riders.
As a result, the Arima Race Club (ARC) 2021 season’s Race Day Five was cancelled at noon on Saturday, a half-hour before the scheduled start of the seven-race card.
The Jockeys Association sent a letter to ARC president Robert Bernard on Friday, airing their concerns and stating their desire to withhold their services on Saturday.
