Weiho Marwing hoping to add to win of Samurai Warrior five years ago
Trainer Weiho Marwing is on track to capture his second SA Derby in five years after Son Of Raj’s win in last Saturday’s 2,000m Derby Trial at Turffontein.
De Melo must have been pleasantly surprised by how his mount kicked on in the closing stages to beat Future Pearl by three lengths. He is likely to want to partner the gelding in the Derby. The three horses who followed Son Of Raj home in the Derby Trial — Future Pearl, Top Sail and African Torrent — are in the mix for next month’s Derby.
Richard Fourie, riding the daughter of Flower Alley for the first time, had an armchair ride on the five-year-old with Rollwiththepunches taking the second cheque of R80,000. Thunderstruck was a more expensive buy at R1m, but the son of Rafeef — a stablemate of Princess Calla — finished fourth to indicate he could pay to follow in the coming months.
