Everything you need to know about 2023 WSB Cape Town Met runner, DO IT AGAIN. This bonafide legend of South African racing, with a career stakes haul approaching R10 million, would love to add the Western Cape’s Premier race to his bulging trophy cabinet.
8) DO IT AGAIN 33/1
An almost ever-present on the big race days over the last few years, DO IT AGAIN really is one of the greats of South African horse racing. The eight-year-old has claimed the bridesmaid prize in the Met before, finishing second to Rainbow Bridge in 2019.
He BMT in abundance having won the Hollywoodbets Durban July back-to-back while also taking out the L’Ormarins King’s Plate. Can the old grandmaster push his career earnings north of R10 000 000 at the Met this weekend? If at his absolute best, he will certainly have a say.
