Hollywood Racing has one runner carded at Tampa Bay Downs (USA) on Saturday, 22 February 2025. See what we are expecting here.
Saturday, 22 February 2025
Tampa Bay Downs (USA)
Race 10 – 16:58 (23:58 – SA Time)
1000m – Turf Dash Stakes (Listed)
11 – Isivunguvungu
Breeding: What A Winter – Miss Tweedy by Tiger Ridge
Trainer: Graham Motion
Jockey: Samuel Marin
Wgt: 54.0kg
Draw: 11 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
Given the 15 odd weeks since his last start, Isivunguvungu is realistically likely to need the outing, and his trainer feels he may be one work outing short but indicates that his charge has nevertheless done enough to come on with the run under the belt. Isivunguvungu will be in good hands under Samuel Marin, who has ridden 31 winners this year and 111 winners at Tampa Bay Downs overall. Graham Motion is prepping the Hollywood Racing flagbearer for the $1,5 million Gr1 Al Quoz Sprint, which is run on turf over 1200m at the Dubai World Cup racemeeting at Meydan on Saturday 5 April. The whole of South Africa will be shouting him home, and we hope for a promising performance!
