Fly By Night’s scintillating win in the 2014 Mercury Sprint secured her connections the duel award for Cape Champion Sprinter of the Year, as well as Champion Older female in this year’s Western Cape Racing and Breeding Awards held at Kenilworth Racecourse last night. The daughter of Jet Master was bred by Patricia Devine Investments, trained by Mike Bass and owned by Marsh Shirtliff, Markus Jooste and Bryn Ressell who accepted the awards.

Variety Club was naturally crowned the Breeders International Horse Of The Year after his exceptional international achievements, while Vodacom Durban July Winner Legislate scooped most of the awards for the newly crowned South African Champion trainer Justin Snaith who must be congratulated on an outstanding racing season.

Owner Of The Year once again was awarded to Markus and Ingrid Jooste.
