Everything you need to know about 2023 WSB Cape Town Met runner, WATERBERRY LANE. This four-year-old gelding will make his stable debut this weekend and jumps from gate 11.
11) WATERBERRY LANE 75/1
This will be WATERBERRY LANE’S first run under the tutelage of Ricky Maingard after making the move from Dean Kannemeyer’s stable. He hasn’t won since the Grade 3 Byerley Turk. Among a string of disappointing results was a credible fourth in the 2022 Daily News 2000. Raymond Danielson will take the ride on Saturday but will face an uphill battle in a high-quality field.
