Richard Fourie rode a four-timer for Alan Greeff on the Fairview turf today (Friday) and it took his tally for March to 19 wins and puts him just four wins behind national log leader Craig Zackey.
Fourie is now on 163 wins achieved at a strike rate of 26.16%.
Zackey is suspended from 9 March to 26 March excluding Royal Raceday on Sunday at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, so Fourie should be on top of the log soon.
Fourie and Greeff had some eyecatching winners today.
In the day’s headliner, the Listed East Cape Fillies Nursery over 1200m, the Varsfontein Stud-bred Master Of My Fate filly Anotherdanceforme cruised to a 5,25 length victory to remain unbeaten in three starts.
In the second race a Maiden Juvenile Plate over 1200m, the first timer Hot Sauce, a Ridgemont homebred Canford Cliffs filly they own together with Devin Heffer, was backed in to 11/10 and beat the original favourite, the Cape raider Blown Away, by an easy 2,75 lengths. She looks to have a lot of promise.
In the third race, the Oaks Plate over 1800m, the Varsfontein-bred Master Of My Fate filly First Wish drifted from 17/10 to 4/1 as the Cape Raider Lady Springfield was backed in to 63/100. However, that did not stop First Wish cruising in by two lengths, despite giving weight to the rest of the field. She recorded a hattrick in the process and it was her fourth career win.
Greeff is now on 110 wins for the season, which is just four less than national log leader Justin Snaith has recorded, and he has done it at a strike rate of 18.06%.
Gavin Smith sent out a treble today and is on 80 wins at 12.88%.
