HORATIO WINS TONY RUFFEL (G 3)

HORATIO and`JUANFRA fought out the finish in the TONY RUFFELSTAKES (G 3), obviously KILCOY CASTLE ran below form as he had beaten the first two before, the trip to Cape Town and back must have taken its toll on KILCOY CASTLE, and although KILCOY CASTLE had previously beaten HORATIO by 3.5l, take a look at this formline it becomes clear that if anything goes wrong with KILCOY CASTLE then HORATIO must certainly be a main contender for honours, at any rate the betting was way out. Interestingly in this race, KILCOY CASTLE beats JUANFRA (ARG) by 3.5l indicating that there’s nothing between HORATIO and JUANFRA (ARG) as the result proved. Well done to trainer Shaun Tarry, with credit going to Gavin Lerena for a great ride, cant be long before he gets noticed and lured overseas, Good luck to the winning connections Messrs S A Hanna, W Wilken, T T Naidoo, V McMullen and J F Bezuidenhout and Mrs J M Ross
