O’Tenikawa can beat the draw

RACING continues to please racing in this province with Gold Circle attempting to dodge the weather.

Last Friday night’s scheduled Hollywoodbets Greyville meeting has been moved to today with yesterday’s scheduled Hollywoodbets Scottsville meeting moved to Wednesday, weather permitting.

But with Champions Season on the horizon and some juicy stake money on offer, raiders are lining up to plunder a share of the spoils.

Sean Tarry, Corrie Lensley and Johan Janse van Vuuren all have runners and to add to the puzzle, Dean Kannemeyer is back in town with some competitive runners after a successful Western Cape season.

The Byerley Turk

The card is headed by two Gr3 contests, the Byerley Turk and the Umzimkhulu Stakes, both races for three-year-olds.

O’Tenikawa has the widest draw in a small field in the Byerley Turk and although well beaten last run although well beaten last run at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth he has a big field. He did finish fourth to One Stripe in the Hollywoodbets Cape Guineas prior to that and with Western Cape form proving dominant on our circuit in KZN he could be the one to follow.
