Three To Tango, trained by Kirk Swanson, ridden by Raymond Danielson and owned by Mr C M and Mrs E B Shepherd, Mrs K M Bonthrone and Mr J Koumides, won the 2400m Zimbabwe Derby at Borrowdale Park this afternoon.

What a race, Three To Tango.

Sygone, second, was gallant in defeat. Mia Finola, the long-time leader. held on for third, and Rain Spider was fourth. Winning margins 2.00, 4.50 and 7.50 lengths.

The Triple Crown, once again, remained out of reach.

Congratulations to all the winning connections – and to everyone with a horse in the race. There would not have been one without you.
