Veteran Piere Strydom delivered the goods for his sponsors the ASSM Racing Syndicate when producing a confident pillar-to-post ride on the Brett Crawford-trained Fatal Flaw to win the R250 000 HSH Princess Charlene Gr3 Starling Stakes at Turffontein on Saturday.
Most player’s exotic banker on the afternoon, Fatal Flaw (4-10) buried her 2yo feature bridesmaid tag and stamped herself an SA Triple Tiara prospect as she got a flyer out of the gates and was not seen again, Strydom gearing down and posing at the line to beat World Of Alice (8-1) in a time of 85 secs flat for the 1400m.

Fanie Bronkhorst’s Stars And Bra’s stayed on at 100-1 to run third.
Bred by Laurence Wernars, the winner is by the ill-fated New Approach stallion New Predator out of the five-time winning Rock Of Gibralatar mare, Alinga.
Fatal Flaw was registering a maiden stakes success and took her earnings to R587 750 with her second win with 5 places from 8 starts.
