The smart Candice Dawson-trained Grand Crescendo is one of the five horses on Hollywoodbets Durban July day who can help Drakenstein add to their number of stakes winners for the season. (Picture: JC Photos).
Drakenstein Stud are are on twenty individual stakes winners for the season and just need one more to equal their South African record of 21.
They have five chances of equaling the record on Saturday with the following runners:
The Justin Snaith-trained Magic Verse (Vercingetorix) in the Gr 3 Magical Kingdom 2200.
The Glen Kotzen-trained Bombers In The Sky (Lancaster Bomber) and the Justin Snaith-trained Future Swing (Futura) in the Gr 3 Durban Gold Vase over 3000m.
The Candice Dawson-trained Grand Crescendo (One World) and the Mike Miller-trained Narina Trogon (Silvano) in the Listed Premier Gateway International Handicap over 1600m
Of course if more than one of these horses win Drakenstein will set a new mark.
In that case it will be the fourth season in succession that they have set a new SA record.
