EIGHT ON EIGHTEEN WINS THE WSB CAPE TOWN MET

The gamble pays off as EIGHT ON EIGHTEEN wins the 2025 WSB Cape Town Met for trainer Justin Snaith. The son of Lancaster Bomber was ridden to victory by Richard Fourie after a brave call to have the three-year-old entered into the Met instead of the Politician Stakes.
