On Monday the powerful Justin Snaith outfit arrived and 24 hours later Dean Kannemeyer’s team arrived in their winter conquest for glory on the East Coast.

Kannemeyer, whose fourteen-strong team travelled from Milnerton, boasts one of his best attacks in many seasons and a notable athlete to alight from the New Turf Carriers float was unbeaten recent Cape Nursery winner, Delta Queen.
The well-related daughter of Var is an exciting prospect and is being targetted at the Gr1 Allan Robertson Championship at Hollywoodbets Scottsville in May.
Included in Kannemeyer’s string was last season’s top 2yo African Warrior as well as the handsome Flower Alley grey Azores, who ran a smart races on the fringes in the Cape Derby.
Warren Lenferna reported on www.goldcircle.co.za that Justin Snaith sent up his first batch of 11 horses from the Cape to settle in to the KZN yard.
