Gallic Victor is more than promising

ACE caller Sheldon Peters may have jumped the gun after Gallic Victor stormed home in the first leg of the Pick 6 at Hollywoodbets Scottsville yesterday, labelling Dean Kannemeyer’s colt a future Hollywoodbets Durban July winner.

A brave prediction considering that the next July is twelve months away and it was just a maiden race but the signs are good.

Making his debut, Gallic Victor was all at sea from the break. He blew the start and was all over the place on the turn as Gavin Lerena settled him down off the pace. The son of Vercingetorix, still green in the straight, was good enough to put the race to bed with an impressive turn of foot.

If he can win the July, Peters will be the ultimate soothsayer, but on yesterday’s evidence he may not be too far off the mark.
