IT WAS A GOOD START TO 2020 FOR KENNEDY

Warren Kennedy, the leading South African Championship jockey, welcomed in the New Year by climbing from fourth into second on the Hollywoodbets KZN Sizzling Summer Challenge jockeys log in front of a full house at Hollywoodbets Scottsville.

Kennedy managed to accumulate a whopping 79 points from his 8 rides with two winners and multiple places.

He first opened the meeting for Gareth van Zyl in emphatic fashion aboard Vernichey. He then won on Be Happy later on in the day for Michael Roberts to move within 38 points of leading jockey Anton Marcus.

Although Kennedy was the standout jockey on yesterday’s card, Marcus managed to maintain his lead with one winner and four places from his five rides.

There were no big moves at the top of the trainers log as Paul Lafferty still leads the charge by 38 points ahead of Hollywoodbets sponsored Garth Puller back in second. Both Lafferty and Puller managed 36 points from their four runners.

Lafferty’s horses still remain dominant in the horses log as well with his horses Bint El Malak and Explosive Beauty tied in first with 40 points. The two stable companions are eight points clear of third placed Jayden’s Shreya from the Wendy Whitehead yard.

The next leg of the KZN Sizzling Summer Challenge sees racing return to Hollywoodbets Scottsville on Sunday for an eight race programme. With the challenge heating up and with the holidays reaching its climax, Hollywoodbets Scottsville is the place to be this Sunday!
