The Race of Champions

 

       MANILA – The 2024 PHILRACOM “Gran Copa de Manila” is coming your way this Sunday, June 23, 2024, at MMTCI, Malvar, Batangas. With a distance of 1,600 meters, handicapping weights of 52-54kgs in fillies and 54-56kgs in colts, 8 elite horses will try to out-run each other for the prestigious title. The winning connections can look forward to a guaranteed prize pool of PHP 1,000,000.00, allocated from first to sixth place. Additionally, a breeder’s purse of PHP 100,000.00 will be distributed among the top three finishers, adding to the excitement and competition.

       Among the top contenders are Istulen Ola and Jaguar, who secured first and second place, respectively, at the Commissioner’s Cup last February. Istulen Ola, owned by Melaine Habla and trained by Ruben Tupas, will be guided by the skilled jockey JA Guce. Jaguar, owned by Juan Miguel Arroyo and trained by Dante Salazar, will be led by JT Zarate.

       The event will also feature other formidable competitors, including Easy Does It, Mimbalot Falls, Secretary, and Wild is the Wind, all of whom have claimed victories in the recent Classic Cup and Chairman’s Cup. Moderne Cong, winner of the Commissioner’s Cup III, and Fortissimo, Istulen Ola’s stablemate, will also be part of this all-winners lineup.
