Everything you need to know about 2022 Hollywoodbets Durban July runner, RED SAXON. The three-year-old colt would have the services of Rachel Venniker, but an unfortunate fall and concussion at Hollywoodbets Greyville has ruled her out.

14) RED SAXON 40/1

History would have made on Saturday 2 July 2022 if Rachel Venniker climbed aboard RED SAXON. Unfortunately, a fall at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Monday 27 June has ruled her out of contention. Joe Soma has since announced that Winning Form-sponsored jock Serino Moodley will take the ride. This three-year-old Colt won the WSB SA Classic but followed that up with disappointing outings in the WSB SA Derby and the Daily News 2000. He’s not likely to be in the mix when the first runners pass the post… but stranger things have happened in racing!

Trainer Comments:Red Saxon is the only horse in the field to have beaten Safe Passage. Nothing went right in a disappointing gallop and he had valid excuses in his last two starts. Has done well at Summerveld and we will give him a good blow out this week,” said Soma.

Winning Form Comments: Grade 1 SA Classic winner. Venniker rides, but others preferred.
