Sean Veale passed the 100 win mark in a season for the first time today at the Hollywoodbets Greyville poly meeting as Hollywood Racing scored a treble with Veale riding two of them.
Sean reached the 100 win mark aboard the Bo Ngcobo-trained Eventidor (Elusive Fort) and later made it 101 on the MJ Odendaal-trained Thisiswhatitmeans (What A Winter).
Sean spoke about the “massive opportunity” Hollywood Racing had given him by making him their first call rider and he said having their racing manager, the former jockey great Anthony Delpech, behind him was also helping a lot.
Hollywood’s treble took them to 103 wins for the season.
If they keep up their exact current number of runs per day and keep up their current strike rate, Hollywood Racing will have 22 more wins in the 64 days of the season remaining.
That will see them just surpassing their record for a season of 124 wins and will give them 125 wins for the season.
Sean Veale’s 101 wins have come at a strike rate of 13.70%.
Kabelo Matsunyane also scored a double and is on 85 wins for the season at 9.11%.
