Name: STROOPSOET
Named By: Heinrich Danfred Pieterse from Hollywoodbets Worcester branch.
Name Meaning: I have a saying in Afrikaans that I normally use to try and get new punters that reads as “Hollywood maak jou lewe soet.” Translated to English it reads as “Hollywood makes your life sweet.” Stroopsoet is an Afrikaans word that means as sweet as syrup, i.e. very sweet and can be applied to either food or behavior. So for example you can say: “This koeksister is stroopsoet” meaning, this weird South African treat has a ton of sugar in it or “I am stroopsoet” meaning: I am super “well-behaved”, wink-wink, nudge-nudge.

Raced over 1450m at Turffontein on the Inside track. Finished 8th out of 8 runners.
Anthony Delpech post-race comment: He pulled too hard in the early stages of the race. I feel he needs to drop back in trip and be allowed to stride along in front.

Raced over 1000m at the Vaal on the Classic track. Finished 8th out of 8 runners.
Anthony Delpech post-race comment: She showed a lot of speed early, but then stopped badly. It was her first run, and the trainer said she would be in need of the run. The big problem is that she is very temperamental.
