Famous Lady (Talk Of The Town) gives Craig Zackey and David Nieuwenhuizen a double together (JC Photos)
Piere Strydom was one of a few double scorers at the Vaal on Thursday on the last day of his illustrious career.
Craig Zackey and David Nieuwenhuizen combined for a double, Gavin Lerena had an individual double and Johan Janse van Vuuren had an individual double.
Lerena ends the season as national champion jockey for the second time and his 277 wins for the season, 18 more than second-placed Richard Fourie, were achieved at a strike rate of 24.80%.
Zackey was in third place on 247 win at 17.38%.
Strydom had 69 wins at 23.88% for 11th place on the log.
Janse van Vuuren had 50 wins at 15.92%.
Nieuwenhuizen’s double was welcome as he only had six wins during the season, but this respected Gr 1-winning trainer will hopefully bounce back next season.
