Salani Kahle to bid a fond farewell
The Mercury
|December 31, 2025
PUNTERS will be looking to round off the year with a bulging wallet or at least some cash in their accounts to start the New Year but they face a competitive card on the Hollywoodbets Greyville poly track on New Year's eve.
Many will be banking on a trio of threeyear-olds to see off what is an eight-raced card of mostly geriatrics, or to be more politically correct, seasoned veterans.
The first of these comes in the fifth, a Class 4 Handicap over 1800m where Gareth van Zyl saddles Salani Kahle. The three-year-old son of Master Of My Fate made a fairly inauspicious debut behind Pied Piper but turned on the afterburners second time out as he smashed the opposition by six ever-increasing lengths.
Admittedly it was not the strongest of lineups but Salani Kahle lived up to his name as he said goodbye to the ever consistent but luckless Intro. He does look progressive but should he not run up to expectations then things get tricky.
