S’manga Khumalo, the man referred to as “Bling” by all those in racing sees himself with a narrow one point lead at the top of the Hollywoodbets Sizzling Summer Challenge Jockeys log after Friday night racing at Hollywoodbets Greyville.

See below the points accumulated from the nine-race card at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Friday 20th December 2019. Full leaderboard can be found here!
Khumalo didn’t have a winner last night but managed to accumulate 53 points from his seven rides. Khumalo, who has only had one winner the entire competition, leads the jockey who has had the most winners in the competition, Keagan de Melo with seven.
Anton Marcus was the leading point scorer on the night, with 75 points from his 7 rides (including two winners and four 2nd place finishes). He leap frogs himself into 3rd position on the log, and is now breathing down the necks of Khumalo and De Melo.
Hollywoodbets sponsored trainers Alyson Wright and Garth Puller were impressive on the night. Wright had a double which saw her pick up 56 points and jump into 4th place, whilst Puller was most impressive with 61 points. He had one winner and multiple places which saw him move into 2nd position on the log.
The trainer that’s still in front going into Sunday is Paul Lafferty. Lafferty leads Puller by 29 points.
The horses log sees the top horse Bint El Malak which is trained by Lafferty on 28 points. But with a host of horses just below him it can’t be looked at with too much confidence just yet.
With racing headed to the capital this Sunday and with the weather feeling more like summer, there is no better place to be than Hollywoodbets Scottsville where you can be a part of the KZN Sizzling Summer Challenge.
