Lakambini race today

Top caliber horses fight it out for track supremacy today at the San Lazaro Leisure Park in Carmona, Cavite as the Manila Jockey Club hosts the P750,000 Lakambini Stakes Race sponsored by the Philippine Racing Commission (Philracom).

Leading the contenders for the P450,000 top prize is division leader and recent Triple Crown Hopeful winner Eurobucks (JB Guce) from the Hermie Esguerra stable. Set to challenge the Esguerra-galloper are Rep. Benhur Abalos’ Nothing Impossible (JB Hernandez), Joseph Dyhengco’s Tiger Song (RM Mamucod) and Leandro Naval’s Vivere (VR Dilema) over a 1,750-meter distance. Runner-up will pocket P168,750, while the third and fourth placers get P93,750 and P37,500, respectively.

"I invite the bayang karerista to come to SLLP or to any OTB near you and witness the well-balanced races. I would like to thank Philracom headed by chairman Jimmy Dilag for their continued support to MJC," said MJC vice president for corporate management Henri Kahn.

Providing support in today’s main event is the Philracom-sponsored "Chino Roces Freedom Cup" in honor of well-known freedom advocate, Don Joaquin "Chino" Roces. — Ramon Romualdez
