Alyson Wright has had six winners in the last four days, a double on Sunday on the Hollywoodbets Greyville turf, a winner on Monday at Hollywoodbets Scottsville and a treble today (Wednesday) on the Hollywoodbets Greyville poly.
A purple patch would be the most appropriate way to describe her run for more ways than one, because four of the wins were for the Hollywood Syndicate and one of the other two winners was called Purple Flower.
The six-timer has seen Wright go clear in the most intriguing championship race of the season, the KZN Trainers championship.
The championship is decided on number of wins in KZN races.
The standings are now Wright 36 and all of Wendy Whitehead, Garth Puller, Gareth van Zyl and Mike Miller on 33.
Alyson’s husband and assistant trainer Kevin said before Sunday’s meeting that he did not believe the yard had the numbers to win the championship, so getting these wins in the bank would have been most welcome as it puts them in with a shout.
Athandiwe Mgudlwa rode four of the six winners and Rachel Venniker and Richard Fourie rode one apiece.
