Quid Pro Quo was all class in outstripping the boys to win the 1600m Dingaans on Simmer Cup day at Turffontein on Saturday.
Even seasoned rider Strydom was raving after the Dingaans.Racegoers enjoyed lovely weather and plenty of excitement on Betway Summer Cup day at Turffontein on Saturday – but had less luck in the betting stakes with a succession of outsiders pitching up in the winner’s circle.
The unfashionably pedigreed daughter of Lance was the only female to take on the boys in the historic 1600m Dingaans, which carried a R300,000 bigger purse than the companion race, the Betway Fillies Mile. From the No 1 draw, jockey Kabelo Matsunyane took Mike de Kock-trained Greaterix straight to the front to set the pace. Parisian Walkway and Fire Attack were in close attendance, just ahead of Quid Pro Quo. In the straight, the pacemakers still held sway – for a few seconds.Knowledgeable horse people are murmuring that this could be one of the best female horses yet produced in South Africa in recent times.
