The stable had a 100% winning strike rate yesterday at Greyville by having AMERICAN INDIAN win is race going away. The 4-year-old gelding by Traffic Guard was having his second start for the stable after finishing runner up against a smart sort previously. He is now a six time winner and seems like he is getting better and stronger with age. He also has the advantage of being quite versatile in his distances which is always a bonus when looking at where and how to plan his career. It is exciting to see how he may continue to progress. Congratulations to Mr C Barnard, a new patron of the stable. The gelding was also bred by Mr Barnard at Rooispruit Stud, which would make the winner even more
The Hollywood Syndicate members at Turffontein yesterday had the opportunity to shout home SEATTLE FORCE who come into the straight with a commanding lead, dug down deep and pulled off a hat trick of wins! The 3-year-old son of Mambo in Seattle has not put a foot wrong since joining the yard, have won 3 out of 4 of his races up in the Highveld. He is much better suited to stamina type races and De Gouveia read the race well enough and made sure it was a hard run race. With that taken into account, it was a win full of merit. Things will get a lot more difficult for him now as he continues to climb in the ratings, but it's exciting for all connections involved to have a horse to do just that,
