Trainer targets first place in Racing Association Stakes with a trio of runners
Trainer Fabian Habib will travel to Turffontein on Saturday knowing he holds the aces in the main event — the R85,000 Racing Association Stakes over the marathon trip of 2,600m.
Judged on his excellent third behind Nebraas in the Gold Cup at Greyville, Out Of Your League should gain the sixth win of his career, but the stable has backup in five-year-old Apollo Robbins. S’manga Khumalo is keeping Warren Kennedy in his sights in the jockeys’ log and he is in the saddle on White Fang, on whom he has notched up three wins and a second this year. He will be out to spoil the party for Habib.
Shangani — named after a river in Zimbabwe — made an impressive debut at Turffontein three weeks ago, skating home six lengths clear of his nearest rival. Little wonder he has been priced up favourite for Saturday’s sixth race. Gavin Lerena has been booked for the ride on Back To Black, and swingers with Shangani could prove a good bet. One man interested in this race will be trainer Stuart Pettigrew who bought Shangani’s half-sister for R100,000 at the recent August Two Year Old Sale.
