Three feature winners in 24 hours had a rampant Spies all smiles and he quipped: “Now I know what Sean Tarry felt like on Saturday!”
Corne Spies-trained Anger is no stereotypical equine grey man. And he can run when in the mood. He could be a major player in the R125 000 Autumn Sand Sprint today at the Vaal
Have horse, will travel. That’s the Corne Spies roadshow motto and the enthusiastic trainer hit the long road when raiding Flamingo Park on Monday with the smart grey Captain Al 3yo Kiss Me Hardy
Tiger Territory slams the improved again Anger in the Lightning Stakes, while Sarve does punters no ‘favours’ in the Summer Speedsters as she overhauls Ha Lucy late in the race
Most of the field frankly look to be making up numbers against the big guns. But if you haven’t got a ticket, they’re never going to call your name – so well done to the long-distance travellers who have come to town to take on the big guns
The enterprising Corne Spies is never scared to race his horses wherever he sees the opportunity and the only 3yo in the field was having his sixth outing in two months
Trainer Corne Spies is enjoying one of the big seasons of his illustrious career and he gets the perfect opportunity to don a red and white suit for punters at the Vaal today. He saddles the very capable Kiss Me Hardy, the only 3yo amongst a rather tired looking bunch of older horses
Our local yards have been hard hit by the difficult economic climate which has resulted in drastically reduced strings. In addition the firm going has understandably made some trainers think twice about acceptances. Hopefully this situation will improve when the long awaited rains finally arrive
One swallow doesn’t make a summer. Punters learnt the tough lesson of placing too much emphasis on one blot on the copybook as the smart Sail From Seattle gelding Tommy Gun was left to run wild at 16 to 1 when bolting home to score a terrific victory in the R1 million Gr2 Emerald Cup at the Vaal on Saturday
Corne Spies trained Velvet Verona wins tight finish to the Flamingo Park Sprint
Hawksworth wins the R100 000 Kimberley Nursery by a country mile
The tongue-twistingly named sprinter was bred and is owned in South Africa, trained by a US-based Brit and will be ridden by a French-based Belgian
