Profiles

Jonathan is a vital cog in the ‘Snaith racing team’. He and brother, Justin and father Chris have built Snaith racing into a truly powerful and potent racing team. With Ebony Flyer in the throes of joining the great fillies of racing the Snaith’s are assured of getting headline advertising for themselves and their lucky owners. Jonathan and Justin are refreshingly honest and enthusiastic about their horses and achievements and racing can count itself lucky to have them in the game

Glen Hatt could be the most underrated jockey in South Africa. He is a true professional with great ability and it is doubtful whether anyone has ever had doubts about his desire to get the most out of a horse. He is a great judge of a horse and in this respect alone he is worth gold to trainers who use him. When it comes to the valuable feature events he is ice cool and totally unflappable and it is little wonder that he can come straight back from a stint in Mauritius and immediately pick up top rides from top stables. With the Cape season now in full swing he looks sure to be a profitable rider to follow.

Coenie is a level headed businessman who came into racing quite by chance and has enjoyed every minute of it. His is a no nonsense

Deez Dyanand is truly passionate about the racing game. Ever since he started presenting in 2000 his love and enthusiasm for racing has been obvious to all. It is a joy to see him interviewing the winners after a race as his pleasure for them makes it good for all. He will soon be joining Peter Gibson at Racing South Africa but, luckily, will still be doing his normal presenting job in KZN. We at Winning Form will join all racegoers in wishing Deez all the best in his new venture.
