The Don’t Horse Around Syndicate (nominee M Moxon) certainly haven’t been messing about since they began racing at Borrowdale Park at the beginning of this year.

On Saturday 29 June 2024 their second import from South Africa, Ultimate Jewel, won the 1100m MR 75 Handicap, having previously won at Borrowdale on the 11^th of May. The four-year-old Rabada gelding, bred by Summerhill Stud, was ridden by Deryl Daniels and is trained by Debra Swanson.

Just before that race Bello Grosso (Swanson/ Daniels) won the 1450m MR 65 Handicap for the Don’t Horse Around Syndicate – and that Erupt (IRE) 4-year-old, bred by Piedmonte Stud, has now won three times since beginning to race in Harare in January.

Both these races resulted in close finishes. Captive Moon (Macleod/Sibands) was 0.10 lengths off the winner, Bello Grosso, while Jusrite (Macleod/Nyamagwete) was three parts of a length off Ultimate Jewel.

Congratulations everyone!
