Lyle Hewitson – 19 professional winners
Apprentice Lyle Hewitson must be the fastest 4kg claim losing apprentice in the history of SA racing.
He rode another double at Greyville on Wednesday 20 April, and with a full book of rides at the Vaal on Thursday, he looks all set to ride his 20th winner.
His claim is valid for the day of his 20th winner – and then he drops to 2,5kgs for the next 20.
Well done young man –
He got a mention in our weekly print edition snippets feature, Short Heads.
