Shhhhh! Pierre Jourdan set topweight for Gr1 Vodacom Durban July
The weights for the R3 million Gr1 Vodacom Durban July have been published and the handicapper and probably the connections of the three year old Jackson will be hoping that topweight Pierre Jourdan stands his ground at final acceptance. The Gary Alexander-trained son of Parade Leader ran a cracker in last Saturday’s Gr1 Gold Challenge behind Variety Club to show his well-being.
Current 16-10 favourite Jackson will carry 57kgs if the Alexander horse runs and without these two smashing performers the race would lose a lot of lustre. While the July always produces a great race, the 2012 class will probably not go down as the most vintage of recent years in terms of depth and pure quality.
