CELSO SCRIBANTE - REST IN PEACE

October 2023

CELSO SCRIBANTE - a fiercely competitive racing driver, a family man, a race horse owner and  a great businessman. The horse racing and motorsport fraternity lost a legend with the passing of Celso Scribante in Gqeberha on Wednesday night.  

We'd like to extend our condolences to all of Celso’s family and friends, he will be sorely missed.

The orange and white silks, representing Celso & Leandro Scribante, have done well in PE over many years. 2018-2019 Owner of the Year (Eastern Cape). 176 winners in PE - 170 at Fairview and 3 at Arlington. 175 trained by Alan Greeff. 95 ridden by Greg Cheyne. 12 wins by Juan Two Three. Other good horses included Aldo, Kimberley Star, Teofilia, Calandra, Luna Wish, Winter Fantasy, Kalamain & Kanara to mention a few! 

Scuderia Scribante shared an open invitation to join them - either in person OR virtually - as Celso's remarkable life is celebrated and remembered: The service will be at St. Bernadette's Catholic Church, 176 Fordyce Rd, Walmer, Gqeberha.
