One of the more eye-catching winners on L’Ormarins King’s Plate Day was the smart sprinter Tenango. Making only his 10th career start, and third for the season following a successful wind op, he hunted down the tearaway The Abdicator, to go past and win over the 1000m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth in style, in a fast […]

Among his horses, where he has a string of 40 thoroughbreds in Milnerton’s Koeberg Road stabling complex, or with a fishing rod in hand. Mind you, when it […]
One unusual aspect of Nicole Botha’s owners’ silks is that it depends on what angle you look at the jockey from to see what colour you’re going to see. On the rider’s left you’ll get a red sleeve and body, and from the right you will see green. From straight in front the picture is […]
