Muzi Yeni followed in the bootprints of Jason Gates in Mauritius earlier in the day when the SA national log-leader rode a cracker to win the final running of the Gr1 Grand Singapore Gold Cup on longshot Smart Star at Kranji on Saturday.
Sacrificing opportunities with the Gr2 feature double-header at Turffontein on Saturday, Yeni was granted a one-day visiting jockey’s licence and travelled to Singapore for the emotional final racemeeting.
He rode a cracker on the any price David Kok-trained Smart Star who flew up late under a vigorous ride.
