Happy Star Wars Day! #maythefourth #maythe4thbewithyou #maytheforcebewithyou #maythefourthbewithyou #starwarsday

Alson Ndzilana is such an incredible horseman! So exciting to see he's taken out his Trainer's licence & it's fantastic to see his new yard getting a sponsor like Betway ZA! Really looking forward to watching his inevitable future success!

This is such a handy resource, mostly for punters who want to check if there were any performance-affecting issues in a horse's previous runs, but also for anyone buying an ex-racehorse, to check for any soundness issues that may affect them in their post-racing careers.

So looking forward to Champions Day at #Turffontein on Saturday AND it's a #WorldPool raceday! #GiddyUp #LetsGo #AreWeThereYet👌

Some transparency from the NHA 👏👏👏

Our absolute favourite moment of the very first World Pool raceday at #Turffontein was hearing the crowd roar so loudly that we couldn't even hear the commentator when Purple Pitcher won the Gr1 TAB SA Derby! 😍

Roaring for our #KZNBred Purple Pitcher! Thank you to Ashleigh from Love Racing for sharing this footage of the victory of our #KZN and Bush Hill Stud bred Purple Pitcher as he won a blinder in the Grade One SA Derby last weekend on Champions Day at Hollywoodbets Turffontein.
