The Cape trainer is just two behind the legend’s seven victories
The chances of trainer Justin Snaith bettering the record of seven Durban July wins held by Syd Laird are more a probability than a possibility.
The perfect example of this came in Saturday’s post-race interview in which Snaith was reluctant to talk about himself. “What really delights me is the horse has won for some wonderful owners, my offshore patrons Alec and Gillian Forster.” Turffontein trainer Joe Soma was bullish about a big run from his three-year-old Got The Greenlight and jockey Muzi Yeni got within 0,9 of a length of winning his first July. No 13 and drawn 13, the colt, bred at Nadeson Park Stud, is a progressive son of Gimmethegreenlight and will probably be back for another crack in 2021.
Soqrat was the selection of some shrewd pundits and the four-year-old's failure to take a hand in the finish will have disappointed trainer Mike de Kock. He was optimistic of a bold showing before the Aussie import retired to stud but he could manage eighth place.
