Accomplished trainer Herman Brown (jr), who announced his return to the industry in February, following a 12-year absence, hopes to have his first runner at the Kenilworth meeting on 22 July, and another shortly after that.
Brown has only six runners stabled at the Philippi Training Centre in Cape Town and commented: “I’m starting from the bottom up with a small string, but things are going well. I have bought 15 yearlings at various sales. They will be coming into the yard towards the end of the year, I look forward to that. I’m hoping to get some older horses to compete with, to get momentum going. I’m confident that will happen when my young runners start performing.”
Brown, best known for guiding Jay Peg to victories in the Dubai Duty Free and Singapore Airlines Cup, established himself as one of South Africa’s most successful trainers on the global stage, in the mid 2000s.
