The Vaal Racecourse plays host to today’s local racemeeting.
Nine races have been carded for this afternoon with the first due off at 12h10 and the lucky last scheduled for 16h30.
Denis Schwarz – rides What A Tiger (Pic – JC Photos)
Trainer Fabian Habib saddles What A Tiger in the lucky last. He finished 0.8 lengths behind Life Goes On last time.
He is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He won his only attempt over this course and distance.
Denis Schwarz is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.
Jockey Siyabonga Mkhumbuzi will not be riding today.
