Robyn Klaasen and a colt hungry for success

Purple Pitcher, who is trained by Robyn Klaasen, is on course to run at the 2024 Hollywoodbets Durban July.

Horse named after insect-eating flower gallops into the Durban July picture.Purple Pitcher is on a direct course for the Hollywoodbets Durban July following his remarkable victory in the TAB SA Derby at Turffontein on Saturday.She had her first winner as recently as mid-2021 and has since quickly entrenched herself among a feisty band of emerging female conditioners – the likes of Candice Bass-Robinson, Candice Dawson, Wendy Whitehead, and Kelly Mitchley.

Purple Pitcher is likely to tackle the Grade 1 Daily News 2000 in the lead-up to South Africa’s most famous race on the first Saturday in July. As a juvenile, Purple Pitcher raced four times for three place cheques. In Klaasen’s care, turned three, he reeled off five wins on the trot, including in the Dingaans, before that fourth in the Guineas. It was a blip on the record, but then the Classic and the Derby victories on the tough Turffontein track showcased the colt’s whole-hearted character to the full.
