Saturday, 1 August 2026
Turffontein Standside
Race 5 – 15:00
2000m – TAB Telebet 011 074 0300 MR 80 Handicap
2 – Culturati
Breeding: New Predator (AUS) – Arte by Ideal World (USA)
Trainer: Grant Maroun
Jockey: Gavin Lerena
Wgt: 60.5kg
Draw: 5 (7 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He returns from a 10-week break due to an infection in his bladder. He is very well in himself and Hollywood Racing-retained Jockey Gavin Lerena steps back into the saddle. The son of New Predator may need the run and we are hoping for an encouraging return to the races.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 10 wks. Best MR:85. Was not disgraced in latest and the form line has been franked.

Race 7 – 16:10
1600m – www.tab.co.za MR 84 Handicap
2 – Sky Pilot
Breeding: Gimmethegreenlight (AUS) – Skye Lane by Pathfork (USA)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Gavin Lerena
Wgt: 59.5kg
Draw: 2 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 2/1
He won a good race over this course and distance last time. Orange County from the Stuart Pettigrew stable with a claiming Apprentice aboard is the horse to beat. The son of Gimmethegreenlight is well and sound heading into this contest. We are hoping to see him follow up with another victory.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:84. Boasts solid recent form under Lerena. Winning chance.
