Champion Smith Lands First Treble Of New Season
S’Manga Khumalo clinched an early double for Alan Greeff on the Fairview Poly yesterday to make it eight wins for the combination this season.
Khumalo has only ridden in Gqeberha to date this season and all eight of his winners, at a high strike rate of a phenomenal 34.78%, have been for Greeff.
Greeff has had nine winners at 20.93%.
However, reigning East Cape champion trainer Gavin Smith outdid him yesterday, scoring a treble. He has now had four winners at a lowly 6.06%, which is sure to improve.
Sharon Kotzen ended last season in fine form and has started this season well too, scoring a double today to take her tally for the season to three winners at 15.79%.
