The players will now turn their attention to next Saturday as they gear up for Robert's Birthday Tournament, which will be held in honour of Robert Hanoman.

A large turnout is anticipated for a full round of golf among members and newcomers. Hanoman, since he became acquainted with golf, has remained committed to the game that he has been playing for more than 20 years. Over the years, Hanoman has made significant and outstanding contributions to the LGC.

Counsel Hanoman has provided legal guidance and direction continuously, in ad- answered when questioned on how well Alado was training ahead of the colt's reappearance since winning last year's Guyana Cup and the President's Cup.

Mohamed's response is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the Rising Sun Stablesowned filly Ariana's Vision. The filly, trained by Fazal Habibulla romped over a similar trip on March 12 at Rising Sun racecourse beating Alado's stablemate Looking At Heaven.

After that success, Habibulla, respectfully called Uncle Fazal, stated, "I was ready for Alado, but they sent their second string."

That statement fuelled the banter between both trainers ahead of the Easter Cup, which will be the spectacle on Easter Sunday. The event will see the return of USA-bred Wild Texas Tom and Our Stuie, both of whom are trained at Port Mourant race course by Therbhuwan “Turbo” Jagdeo. They finished second and third behind Alado in the Guyana Cup.

Turbo has been very quiet about his runners, and with the hometown advantage he is quietly confident of a major upset, as the unbeaten Alado is chasing after a third Cup success.

Shallow and Bassarath elected as President and Vice President of CWI

Dr Kishore Shallow and Azim Bassarath have been elected to the posts of President and Vice President respectively, of Cricket West Indies (CWI). They will serve two-year terms.

The election process was conducted as one of the key items on the agenda of the 24th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of CWI, which was held on Saturday, at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua.

Dr Shallow said: “On behalf of Cricket West Indies, I sincerely thank the outgoing President Ricky Skerritt for his latest contribution to our beloved cricket. He has served with distinction and pride in one of the most challenging periods in our lifetime, the COVID-19 pandemic. His tenure has certainly moved us in the right direction.” advancement as a cricket nation."

Bassarath said: “It is indeed an honour to be elected to serve as the Vice President of Cricket West Indies and I look forward to working alongside Dr Shallow and the other members of the Board of Directors as we continue the good work done by Mr Skerritt for the benefit of everyone involved in West Indies cricket.”

In addition to the election for President and Vice President, the following persons were duly elected as Member Directors of CWI:

Jason King – Barbados

Cricket Association

Conde Riley – Barbados

Cricket Association

Bissoondyal Singh – Guyana

Cricket Board

Deleep Singh – Guyana

Cricket Board dition to consistent and voluntary financial assistance by means of sponsorships and other areas of club development.

The tournament is an annual fixture on the LGC’s official calendar of events.

He added: “The resounding vote of confidence demonstrated by the shareholders is heartening. My profound gratitude to them and all the stakeholders for supporting me throughout the electoral process. As I embark on this new role with Vice President Bassarath, there is no delusion about the considerable workload. My philosophy remains one of unity and inclusivity. For it is only if we pool our resources and efforts together will West Indies cricket make any meaningful

Therefore, the bull'seye will be on the Master Z-owned colt, which everyone will want to topple.

The trio of Alado, Wild Texas Tom and Our Stuie would be having their first run of the season. How race fit they would be will be tested by Ariana's Vision that scored readily on her first start of the season. Uncle Fazal said that that victory has been a confidence booster for her, and she would improve further.

Would Uncle Fazal and Turbo have to visit the optician. Well, I am reliably informed by Mohamed. He has invited them to Port Mourant for the race day, as their business could boom after the running of the Easter Cup.
