The final field for the third running of South Africa’s ‘biggest race’, the R750 000 WSB Grand Heritage to be run over 1475m on 29 September down the Vaal straight was announced today.
De Kock’s Mujallad carries top weight
The two previous runnings of the stampede have both been won by Gavin Lerena and the former SA champion will partner the exciting 4yo Mardi Gras for the Johan Janse van Vuuren yard next Saturday.
In 2016 Lerena won on Irish Pride for the same team while in 2017 he got the outsider Forest Fox home for Paul Peter.
The Ashley Fortune team celebrate their first runners in the race with the former Cape based do of Tsitsikamma Dance and Rings And Things carrying the flag for the Vaal-based outfit.
