Two black jockeys can fight out the finish of SA’s premier race
If someone had told Durban July legends Syd Laird and Terrance Millard that one day the famous race would be fought out by two black jockeys, they would have looked at them as if they had just landed from Mars.
Sparkling Water could give De Kock his third female winner of the race after Ipi Tombe and Igugu and Khumalo has elected to partner the filly in preference to Jet Dark. One horse suddenly on the radar is Aragosta and the prospects of the SA Derby winner have surely been enhanced by the booking of champion jockey-elect Warren Kennedy.
Kommetdieding has 7kg more to carry than last year and a repeat win looks unlikely. He is not certain to beat home Do It Again, who is only a month away from his eighth birthday. It is interesting, though, that dual winner Do It Again has his fifth different jockey in his last seven outings — Aldo Domeyer will be doing the steering this time.
