Mike de Kock’s R2,4 million Dynasty first-timer Afraad steps out in the Pick 6 opener at a standalone Turffontein inside track meeting today.
According to the multiple champion trainer the 2yo needs further but has an each way chance.
While the Pick 6 first-timer rule, where the first raced horse home also counts for the exotic, provides a safety blanket of sorts, punters may want to include him for insurance against a bomb sneaking into second.
