Bigga to sponsor Jamaica Oaks

The Bigga Jamaica Oaks for native-bred three-year-old fillies will be run at Caymanas Park on Saturday, April 25.



In keeping with the annual Ladies Day theme, Caymanas Track Limited will honor 12 young women who have distinguished themselves in various fields.



Among the distinguished women are Beijing Olympic gold medallist Melaine Walker and entertainers Tami Chynn and Tessane Chin.



This was announced at yesterday’s launch for the 70th running of the mile and quarter fillies classic by representatives of the sponsors, the Wisynco Group and CTL.



Wisynco has contributed $1 million to the promotion, $700,000 going directly to the purse of the Oaks and $300,000 to six other races on the card.



Other races on the programme will be the Lady Geeta Trophy over 1200 metres and the Richochet Cup over the round five course.
