Hollywoodbets added excitement to the reaching of the Hollywood Syndicate’s 100th win of the season by giving bonuses to a number of participants in the win.
The trainer and jockey of their 100th win were each to receive R10,000 bonuses, the groom was to receive R2,000 and for the first time there was an award for the race commentator, R5,000.
Nico Kritsiotis behind the mic did well to contain his excitement when the Gavin Smith-trained Gimmethegreenlight filly Jade’s Caberneigh assumed the lead under Craig Zackey and kept on rolling in the last race today at Fairview over 1200m.
There was a mid-meeeting switch from turf to poly.
Earlier, in a 1200m event on the turf, the Alan Greeff-trained Canford Cliffs filly Catch Your Breath gave Hollywood their 99th win of the season under Richard Fourie.
In the last race the Hollywood-owned Jade’s Caberneigh kept going well to score by 0,75 lengths.
Nico Kritsiotis was the TV commentator and was the official recipient of the commentator’s bonus.
However, Naqeeb Munshi was the on course commentator and it would appear from some reports that Nico will magnanimously share the bonus with him.
Jade’s Caberneigh’s groom is Mncedi Pohlo.
Hollywood achieved 100 wins in a season for the first time in the 2021/2022 season when they got 101.
Last year they smashed their record, reaching 124 wins.
At this time last year i.e. with the same amount of days left in the season, they had 109 wins.
So they have their work cut out to better their record.
