V Centenario Racecourse celebrates the first Great Cup doctor Ramon Tallaj

Santo Domingo.- The first "Gran Copa Dr. Ramón Tallaj" was held at the Quinto Centenario Racecourse, among imported horses, three years old and older. "We try to contribute in some way to the incentive of the development of equestrianism in the country, impregnating mares with stallions from our farm, so that those fruits are born in the Dominican Republic, with bloodlines of superior quality, and thus, contribute to the development of the breeding of native specimens," explained, accompanied by the president of the national equestrian commission, Mr. Francisco Pavonessa. The event featured a top prize of RD$500,000.00 and an entry fee of RD$25,000.00 per entry. It was a G3 race and was run at a distance of 1,800 meters. This celebration is part of the action plan of Dr. Tallaj, a prominent Dominican doctor and equestrian based in the United States, for the promotion and development of equestrianism in the Dominican Republic.
