Soetendal graduates starting the new season off with a bang, with four winners at the first Cape meeting at Kenilworth yesterday!
First, Race Coast Sales Ready to Run Sale graduate Black Eagle (Rafeef) (pictured here)cruised home impressively for Hollywood Racing, VHM Racing and breeders Avontuur Estate and Mr and Mrs Amm.
Next, Gimme What I Want (Gimmethegreenlight) cracked her maiden at only the second time of asking for Snaith Racing and VS Varsfontein.
Lightning quick Elusive Winter (Captain of All) gets home to win his third race for Fiona Carmichael, Crawford Rix Racing Stables, and breeders Klawervlei Stud.
And the exciting filly Viva la Vida (Gimmethegreenlight) makes it two from three for owner/breeders Alec and Gillian Foster, and VHM Racing.
The day wouldn't be complete without mentioning Turbo Twenty, who after a long rehab and much patience and care by Bass Racing Stables, won his maiden as well yesterday!
Congratulations to all the connections!
