Sygone On Triple Crown Track

Strongly fancied Sygone got up to beat Action Jackson in the closing stages of the Zimbabwe 2000 at Borrowdale Park on Sunday afternoon.

This son of Ato won the Zimbabwe Guineas and is now on track to take Zimbabwe’s Triple Crown. The final leg, the 2400m Zimbabwe Derby, will be run on April 28.

Congratulations to the winning owners, the Newbury Racing Syndicate (Pty) Ltd (nominee Denis Evans), the winning jockey Hennie Greyling, and winning trainer, Bridget Stidolph.

This was an exciting finish and Three To Tango and Rain Spider also finished in the money.

It was quite an afternoon with several very close finishes and at the end of it all the chance of having a Zimbabwe Triple Crown winner.

The Stidolph yard saddled four winners and Raymond Danielson and Ryan Munger rode two winners each.

Congratulations to all of Sunday’s winning connections.
