The Gorringes and company bagged two winners at Borrowdale on the 22nd of June – King’s Crown and Magic Exists. Well done, all of you. Your continued support of racing in Zimbabwe is appreciated.

King’s Crown got going in the 1700m Borrowdale C Stakes 75 with Deryl Daniels in the irons. Bred by Stone Hill Stud, this was the three-year-old Royal Mo (USA) gelding’s fourth victory. Trained by Debra Swanson, King’s Crown is owned by Messrs P D Gorringe, S P Gorringe, V Patel and D K Ward.

Magic Exists, winner of the 1450m Pinnacle Plate 85, is owned by Messrs P D Gorringe, S P Gorringe, V Patel, D K Ward & M W Smith. He is also from the Swanson yard, and Daniels was riding on Sunday. By Alado(GB), the three-year-old gelding bred by Oldlands Stud, has now won five races.

Good as it is to see the old timers in the money, isn’t it time for some youngsters to step up to the plate? Forming a syndicate is not difficult. Provided there are enough of you (20?) it is both affordable and fun.

So come on. I dare you.
