The Philippi-based yards of Justin Snaith and Brett Crawford grabbed the lion’s share of the spoils with four winners apiece at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday.

Brett Crawford’s four-timer included two feature victories versus Snaith’s one.

The Klawervlei Stud-bred Solar Power is a 4yo gelded son of Dynasty (Fort Wood) out of the unraced Fastnet Rock mare, Egyptian Sky. A R750 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale graduate, Solar Power has won 4 races with 6 places from 14 starts for stakes of R443 850.
