Copper Fire and River Power came alight for the Centaur Syndicate at the Borrowdale Park race meeting on the 11^th of July, 2025. Both horses are trained by Debbie Swanson, and Deryl Daniels was riding.

The Centaur Syndicate (nominee Craig Danckwerts) is enjoying a successful 2024/25 season and they are probably not done yet.

Bred by Blue Karoo Stud, three-year-old  Copper Fire is by Willow Magic (AUS) out of a New Approach (IRE) mare. On Friday she won the 1260m Borrowdale D Stakes, finishing clear of Audacious, and has now won three races.

River Power won the 1450m Pinnacle Plate 100 – an incredible fifth successive victory – and he has won eight races in total. This three-year-old colt is by Global View (USA) out of an Ideal World (USA) mare and was bred by Riethuiskraal Stud.

An excellent afternoon’s work and congratulations to all the winning connections.
