The Glen Kotzen-trained seven-year-old Ideal World gelding Cat Daddy, bred by the Gary Player Stud, became an eight-time winner yesterday when producing a storming run from off the pace to win the Non-Black Type Nelson Mandela Bay Racing Poly Challenge over 1600m under Luyolo Mxothwa.
His stablemate My Bestie (Querari), also bred by the Gary Player Stud, finished a half-a-length second.
Included in Cat Daddy’s wins are a Listed win on the Fairview turf over 2000m, a Listed win on the Hollywoodbets Greyville poly over 1600m and a Listed win on the Hollywoodbets Greyville turf over 1600m.
Today he surely became the first horse in history to have won feature races on both surfaces at Hollywoodbets Greyville and both surfaces at Hollywoodbets Fairview.
He still has plenty of zip and does not show signs of slowing down with age.
He has been a fine horse to own for The Great 8 Stables and LLC Syndicate (Nom :Mr D H Barton).
