Fillies to lead the way in honour of Women's Day

RESPECT: RACES AT TURFFONTEIN HAVE BEEN NAMED AFTER HIGHVELD LADY TRAINERS

- Jack Milner

It is Women's Day tomorrow and in honour of so many ladies among the trainers' ranks, most of the races on the nine-race card at Turffontein will carry their names.

It would be great if one of those trainers could celebrate the day with a winner but only Candice Dawson and Robyn Klaasen have runners at the meeting and all their runners are in highly competitive races.

However, there will be a number of fillies and mares in action and they could carry the day for the fairer sex. While some of them are racing in races reserved for fillies and mares there are, nevertheless, a couple who look quite capable of upstaging their male rivals.

In Race 2, the Robyn Klaasen Maiden Plate for fillies and mares over 1160m, Lucky Houdalakis-trained Quiet Winter will be all the rage on her reappearance.
