After a whirlwind contract with the Rameshwar Gujadhur yard in Mauritius and having served a suspension, multiple champion Piere Strydom returns to the saddle at the Vaal today.
It’s a quiet start for the veteran who only takes two rides – the first of which is Anatolio in the second race for Ashley Fortune.

The first race is off at 12h25, with the Bipot going off in the second at 13h00.
The false rail is set at zero on the back straight and bend, with a 3m spur at the 600m mark
Note that Apprentice T Juglall only claims 2,5kgs
