Jockey Richard Fourie broke the old South African record off 334 for the number of wins in one season and he still has almost seven weeks of the season left to add to his tally.
There are three runners this Friday on the Polytrack at Fairview that look to have decent chances for the popular jockey.
In Race 5, gelding Central City is in good form and should be ready to fight out the finish.
Unlike most of the runners who join trainer Alan Greeff’s stable, the improvement with Central City was not immediate. But he was a winner last time on the Polytrack and has run two very good races since then.
Central City has often had some tough draws for his jockey to navigate but that will not be the case this time as he will jump from stall No 3.
A couple of races later, three-year-old filly Gocekwithlove makes her Eastern Cape debut and it could be a winning one.
The Danon Platina filly scored just once in six starts for trainer Mike de Kock but ran consistently well in others apart from her latest start when eighth in a feature race.
Gocekwithlove is well drawn for her first taste of the Polytrack but has run well when put around a turn.
Filly Si Gioca is knocking loudly at the door with two recent runner-up performances over the Fairview Polytrack 1000m.
She loves the surface, and it is worth noting that her only win was over 1200m, so the 1300m of Race 8 should not be a problem,
This Danon Platina filly has also cracked the stall No 3 draw and Fourie can send his punters home happy.
