Young jockey rides Red Saxon in Saturday’s WSB SA Derby at Turffontein
Jockey Julius Mariba isn’t going to forget this month in a hurry and he will be hoping to crown a magnificent few weeks with victory on Red Saxon in Saturday’s WSB SA Derby at Turffontein.
A plus factor for Mariba is that he’s now getting some outside rides for other stables. He should go close on Erico Verdonese’s runner Benguela Cove in the seventh race at the Vaal on Thursday. Verdonese has his horses stabled at Turffontein and does well with his small string. He has saddled Benguela Cove to one win and two seconds from three outings.
Muzi Yeni is likely to fancy his chances on Midnight Gem, who has been a good earner for her connections this season. She nearly completed a hat-trick when narrowly beaten by Sweet And Spicy last time out. Another of What A Winter’s progeny, Siberian Fox, makes his debut for Matchett’s yard. He was bred by Riethuiskraal Stud and cost R100,000 as a yearling.
