Popular rider will be hoping to put Derby meeting behind him when he partners Bless My Stars’ stablemate in the sixth race at the city track
With the riding honours going to Richard Fourie and Keagan de Melo, jockey S’manga Khumalo will not have enjoyed Saturday’s Derby meeting at Turffontein one bit. What will have been particularly disappointing will have been Bless My Stars’ defeat, as she had been favourite for the Wilgerbosdrift Bridget Oppenheimer Oaks.
Khumalo will have to overcome a wide draw and has to concede weight to Alec Laird’s runner, Kwazzi’s Lady, with apprentice Donald Geerthsen claiming his 2.5kg allowance. In contrast, De Melo goes on his merry way, booting home winners all over the country and he has six booked rides with two early rides for Lucky Houdalakis, who won last Saturday’s SA Oaks with None Other.
Johan Janse van Vuuren, who trains Linkin Navigator, will be hoping De Melo can get Permesso Avanti home for his second career win in the final leg of the Pick Six.
