Lions Eye has been gelded today.
June 1st, 2023
Raced over 1400m at Turffontein on the Standside course. Finished 7th of 9 runners.
Anthony Delpech post-race comment: Disappointing run, he will be gelded as Mike de Kock says his work at home is not what he is showing on the racetrack.
May 7th, 2023
Raced over 1160m at Turffontein on the Standside course. Finished 5th out of 5 runners.
Anthony Delpech post-race comment: He showed early speed and stopped over the last 200m. Mike de Kock was not happy with the ride as he wanted the horse to be given a chance in the early part of the race. He also said that the distance is too short for him and he will come on a lot from the run.
