Corne Spies-trained Anger is no stereotypical equine grey man. And he can run when in the mood. He could be a major player in the R125 000 Autumn Sand Sprint today at the Vaal
Have horse, will travel. That’s the Corne Spies roadshow motto and the enthusiastic trainer hit the long road when raiding Flamingo Park on Monday with the smart grey Captain Al 3yo Kiss Me Hardy

Hawksworth wins the R100 000 Kimberley Nursery by a country mile
SA horseracing needs strong leadership – today. Otherwise we are doomed. Stakeholders don’t need this kind of circus!
A former Bloemfontein champion trainer, Michael McLachlan was a popular character in the halcyon days of horseracing and now finds himself in dire need
