Progressive sprinter Taxi To The Moon will be out to land another Graded stakes win for Kenneth Pillay’s Kestorm Investments on Saturday at Turffontein
Kenneth Pillay’s Kestorm Investments’ colours of red with white stars and black sleeves have become one of the most recognisable in South African racing and are on a phenomenal run at present with a 12 run streak yielding eight wins, two seconds and two thirds.
The run ended on Thursday at Vaal Classic when Keep Warm ran unplaced.
However, he has every chance of more success at Turffontein on Sturday.
His horses are trained chiefly by Tony Peter and Sean Tarry at present and they include the highest rated horse in the land, the Peter-trained Gr 1-winning sprinter Buffalo Storm Cody.
Kestorm Investments have a phenomenal strike rate this season of 30.5%.
Kenneth Pillay’s ownership concern has had 72 runs for 22 wins and total earnings of 1,898,159.
On Saturday the progressive Peter-trained 117-rated Vercingetorix gelding Taxi To The Moon will be out to score a hattrick when running in the Gr 3 J J The Jet Plane Stakes over 1000m.
The exciting sprinting filly Precocious (Ideal World), unbeaten in three starts for the Peter yard, runs in a MR 100 handicap for fillies and mares over 1000m and Blain Marx-Jacobson, who has ridden her superbly in her last two starts, will try and clinch a hattrick of wins on her.
Both Taxi To The Moon and Precocious are bookmakers’ favourites.
Kestorm also has the outsider Princess Keira (One World) in the eleventh race on Saturday.
