Trip off the old block

Trip of Fortune! What a horse he has turned out to be and what a start for to the Durban season for Candice, Aldo and Drakenstein Stud, this combination are in deadly form at present.

To win three big features in a single season, through three racing centre’s, is a really top achievement for any horse. He is a consummate professional as Candice correctly put it in her post race interview, and he’s been a dream horse to train. All accolades must go to Gaynor and her team at Drakenstein Stud, boy can they breed a tough horse and deservedly so, they have produced a string of top class horses this season across the country. A special mention to our stable assistant Whitey who has travelled, ridden and looked after Trip throughout his travels, we have the utmost faith in his ability and he can take a bow for his recent accolades.

Moving onto Charles Dickens, who bounced back to his brilliant best after his only two narrow defeats on home turf. He’s just a beast of horse, and what a season we have to look forward to with him. The Gold Challenge (Gr.1) and the Champions Cup (Gr.1) will be his main targets he will be hoping to add to his CV this season.

Aldo rode confidently and brilliantly yesterday, positioning his rides from subsidiary draws with perfection. It was a polished performance all around.

Candice can be proud of her team. It’s never easy for a trainer to travel horses, and keep them on the boil when it counts, and big horses come with big pressure, but she is delivering when it counts, that’s the job.

We have a long season to go, but what a super start! Photography @chase_liebenberg
