Reigning Equus Horse Of The Year Do It Again is the senior rated galloper at 136 for the Gr2 Green Point Stakes at Kenilworth on Saturday 14 December.
A thrilling four-cornered finish that spanned just a long head crowned the 2018 Gr2 Green Point Stakes, with Legal Eagle beating Undercover Agent and Do It Again.

The son of Twice Over had a ‘nice easy’ gallop on his own at Kenilworth yesterday ahead of his seasonal reappearance.
The Snaith star faces a class field, including Mike de Kock’s Hawwaam, who lost out on an intended Queen’s Plate prep today at Turffontein, as racing was abandoned.
The meeting is the launch of the Cape Summer Season.
As reported on www.goldcircle.co.za, trainer Justin Snaith said a lot more thought had been put into the Cape Summer Season this year as there were some Cape representatives on the programming panel. He is thus very happy with the season’s layout.
But he lamented the lack of preparation opportunities for his top older horses, with a good example being Equus Champion Sprinter Kasimir, who was going to have to wait until Queen’s Plate day to get a run.
The Green Point Stakes prize has been reduced by R50 000 for the 2019 renewal.
1st R218750, 2nd R70000, 3rd R35000, 4th R17500, 5th R8750
