Tara Laing shares the incredible story behind her 2017 Listed East Cape win with Normanz
The Gr1 winner Normanz is in sparkling form as a 6yo and flexed his class to win well
Trainer Charles Laird is something of an icon in the land of the Scottsville Gr1 speed legends. Today he bids for his fourth straight win in the R1 million Gr1 Tsogo Sun Sprint. He returns with last year’s champion Normanz, who also puts super-sire Var in line for a hat-trick in this prestigious speed contest
As Brugman pointed out, there should be more to come from the gelding when he is trained for the race rather than the stalls but the Mike Bass-trained winner is also expected to show improvement at Turffontein.
