The second of two July Day races to be run on the Greyville polytrack produced a smart win for the well-related Bishop’s Bounty
A former course record holder over the Kenilworth 1200m, the Var colt Generalissimo can fly when in the mood and he gave his rivals a galloping lesson to win the R120 000 eThekwini Sprint at Greyville
The visiting pair were stabled on course and the win here also provided some compensation for Wylie Hall’s owner Michael Leaf, who was extraordinarily sporting by showing none of the signs of a sour loser in the post-race interview. He is a bigger man than many of us!
‘I called the owner and before I could even make the offer he excitedly told me that a certain South African bookmaker had just called 10 minutes earlier to make an offer of R5m’
