Vercingetorix was ousted by his father Silvano in last season’s race for the National Sires title and that was chiefly due to the result of the Hollywoodbets Durban July.

He will be out to make amends but is currently roundabout a mere R12,000 ahead of 2020/2021 champion Gimmethegreenlight.

The top five on the log for results up to 08/11/2022 are:

Vercingetorix: R3,650,388

Gimmethegreenlight R3,637,625

What A Winter: R3,588,475

Master Of My Fate: R3,573,513

Querari: R3,021,625
