DURBAN - Diego De Gouveia had a Grade 1 double at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Saturday with the Stuart Pettigrew-trained Anything Goes and the Candice Dawson-trained Sentbydestiny, both bred by Varsfontein Stud, and said he owed his current progressive profile to Pettigrew.
De Gouveia said the unbeaten Var filly Anything Goes was undoubtedly the best horse had ever ridden in a race and elaborated,"It's not just because I have won a Group 1 on her, she is really top class and she is versatile." He added,"But the draw is a big factor and I was grateful we had a draw advantage over War Of Athena."
He said,"Candice asked me to follow a horse and said that if I wanted to, I could pull her out towards the end to see what she had. I did so and she not only passed her companion but she pulled five or six lengths clear. She has an exceptional turn of foot."Candice was unable to make it to the races on the day but was replaced by her sister Tammy and the only instruction was a reminder of how good her turn of foot was.
