The record books suggest that Beach Beauty is the first racer in history to successfully defend the Gr 1 Paddock Stakes, the Gr 2 Drill Hall Stakes and the Garden Province Stakes titles, all in the same season
Of all the equine talents showcasing their skills and brilliance on Vodacom Durban July day, there is one that will be instantly recognisable to most present. Her name is Beach Beauty, a champion mare. She returns in search of a successful defence of her R750 000 Gr1 Garden Province Stakes title at her fourth July day appearance
Cape trainers Glen Kotzen and Justin Snaith hold all the aces in the Gr1 Garden Province Stakes. Kotzen’s Princess Victoria takes centre stage to show that her SA Fillies Sprint disappointment had more to do with the racing surface on the day, than her five-star ability.
A Gr 1 winner on the July undercard in 2010, Happy Archer returned to Greyville on Saturday and posted her second Gr1 success when winning the Garden Province Stakes for fillies and mares over 1600m.
