A Day To Remember

The connections of Ideal View were in fine form on Saturday, 6th May, when their Global View gelding won the prestigious 2000m Castle Tankard (GR1) at Borrowdale Park, beating stable companions, Dindingwe and Down To Business, to the wire.

The happy owners are Messrs C J Smith, P D Gorringe, S P Gorringe, V Patel, D K Ward, G Carter& M W Smith. Debra Swanson was the successful trainer and Nathan Klink was in the irons. Ideal View was bred by Riyo Stud.

Hearty Congratulations!

GRAND WARRIOR OUT
Borrowdale Park fans were devastated to hear that Grand Warrior will not take part in tomorrow’s Castle Tankard. Debra Swanson’s champion was lame this morning (5th May) for the first time ever.
So very sorry Centaur Syndicate.

Fifteen horses have accepted to run in the 2023 Castle Tankard at Borrowdale Park on the 6th May.

Betting on Grand Warrior opened at evens 1-1, and last year’s Tankard winner, True Beauty, was 8-1. Down To Business is also 8-1, and Only Him 7-1.

WHAT A BEAUTY – GREAT STUFF

The four-year-old filly, True Beauty, was facing the toughest test of her career and came through in style, winning the US$50 000 Castle Tankard (Gr1) at Borrowdale Park On May 7, 2022.

Only Him, also a four-year-old, came second, followed by Holy Land and Wantage.

Owned by Ms SP Moyo and Mr G Tafeni, True Beauty is trained by Thomas Mason. and Denis Schwarz was in the irons. Congratulations to the connections on winning Zimbabwe’s most prestigious race.  What more can one say!

By Skitt Skizzle and out of a Silvano (GER) mare, True Beauty was bred by Bosworth Farm Stud, and this was her sixth victory.

Once again, the sponsors, Delta Beverages, set the scene for a spectacular and memorable day.
