Will Weight Tame Dindingwe?


The feature race at Borrowdale Park on Saturday is the 2000 Zimbabwe Oaks, but several other interesting races are on the 7-race card.

For instance, Dindingwe takes on Jubilee, Sun Bird, Tulip Way and Tradition in the 1600m Round Table Buffalo Charge MR 90 Handicap. Dindingwe would surely get the nod at level weights, but she is giving weight in varying degrees to the field – all of whom, in this race, look threatening.

The first race is off at 12 30 pm, and Dindingwe and company make their appearance at 14 10. The Zimbabwe Oaks is at 16 00 and will be the last race of Zimbabwe’s 2022/23 racing season.

Local racing will probably not resume until October -so be there on Saturday if you live in Harare!

Zimbabwe Equine News photographed Dindingwe in March when she won an MR 84 Handicap. If the 5-year-old Futura mare can defy the weight and win on Saturday it will be her 10th victory.
