Justin Snaith and Richard Fourie team up at Kenilworth today where a R2 million Dynasty half-sister to their champion Snowdance makes her debut.
Justin Snaith – busy day ahead
The Cheveley bred Lilac Sensation has been labelled ‘a class filly’ who is expected to be in the money, by the champion trainer. And history and blood suggests she could be worth following. She is out of the Joshua Dancer mare, Spring Lilac – a half-sister to Equus Champions Bela-Bela and Rabiya – and thus hails from a top family.
There are eight races on the public holiday card and with a perfect Cape winter’s day ahead, the programme should provide competitive racing.
Visiting jockey Anton Marcus also adds some interest and he has decent rides as always.
The first, also the Bipot opener, is off at 12h45.
The false rail is set at 2m out from the 1700m with a 5m spur at the 470m. The inside rail has been moved 3m from the 800m to the 400m, with a 3m spur at the 400m.
