Green Isle Can Get Her Hat-Trick On The Polytrack
The Citizen
|September 12, 2025
A number of horses get a second crack at their racing careers by moving to trainers in Gqeberha and take up racing on the Polytrack.
There are a couple of runners who have moved East after starting their racing careers in Cape Town and two of them could strike at Fairview today when they race on the Polytrack.
Well-bred mare Green Isle is one of them.
Trainer Alan Greeff will be very proud that he received the Gimmethegreenlight mare as a two-time winner after 18 starts, and she is unbeaten in two runs for him.
Green Isle impressed on her local debut when scoring over 1200m on 8 August under S'manga Khumalo. She was clearly lucky to only pick up a two-point penalty for that win.
Jockey Richard Fourie rode a very confident race aboard the five-year-old mare later that month to win a MR 82 Handicap for fillies and mares over 1600m by an easy 1.75 lengths.
