Craig Zackey seized an opportunity to go further ahead in the national jockeys championship at the Vaal on Thursday by riding a treble.
Gavin Lerena is on suspension for a week and Richard Fourie’s first meeting for a week will be at Fairview on Friday, so this allowed Zackey to open a 12 win lead over.
Zackey is now on 190 wins for the season, achieved at a strike rate of 18.91%, while Richard Fourie and Gavin Lerena are both on 178 wins (at strike rates of 26.18% and 26.10% respectively).
Andrew Fortune has been in good form this week and rode another double to go to 15 wins since his comeback at a strike rate of 17.86%.
Lucky Houdalakis and Paul Peter both scored doubles.
Houdalakis is now 42 wins at 19.27%.
Peter is on 68 wins at 16.46%.
