Glen Kotzen has found himself in a race against the Vodacom Durban July clock with the promising Philanthropist 3yo Pack Leader, after the smart colt’s ‘phantom colic’ withdrawal from Saturday’s Gr2 WSB 1900.
Pack Leader was snapped at Melkbos beach by Chase Liebenberg during the Cape summer
The Investec Cape Derby third placer was reportedly jumping out of his skin today and is one of 17 3yo’s entered for the R2 million Gr1 Daily News 2000 to be run at Greyville on 2 June.
The race carries a ‘golden ticket’ into the Vodacom Durban July.
