Seven out of town stables have nominated horses to run in the R350 000 Listed Algoa Cup on Sunday 5 November over 2000m on the Fairview Turf track.
Western Cape trainers Justin Snaith, Glen Kotzen, Brett Crawford, Dean Kannemeyer, Vaughan Marshall and Greg Ennion have all entered horses. KwaZulu-Natal conditioner Wayne Badenhorst entered Cape Town Beauty.
Runaway Song (Kannemeyer) is the highest rated amongst the 36 nominations, which include last year’s winner Han Solo (Kotzen) and the runner-up Jaeger Moon (Gavin Smith).
The 2021 winner Hoedspruit (now with Kelly Mitchley) and the 2019 winner Cat Daddy (Kotzen) have also been nominated.
The local trainers who entered runners along with Smith and Mitchley, are Alan Greeff, Sharon Kotzen, Zietsman Oosthuizen, Tara Laing, Duncan McKenzie, Emmanuel Kaknis and Jacques Strydom.
Strydom is the last local trainer to have won the Algoa Cup. Since this win by Surfin’ USA in 2009, the Western Cape raiders have dominated the East Cape’s premier race.
