Fairview Preview: Walmer Handicap

July 2023

- Henk Steenkamp 


Trainer Zietsman Oosthuizen will be back on the Fairview Polytrack on Friday to try and defend his title in the R150 000 Walmer Handicap.

The Oosthuizen stable won this race, a Non-Black Type event for fillies and mares over 1800m, last year with Rattle Mouse.

This time Oosthuizen is back with Unconditional Love who will have to carry the top weight of 60kg. Gabriel Pieterse takes the ride.

A small field of eight runners will contest the Walmer Handicap and Alan Greeff will saddle half the field.

The early favourite to win the race is Medlers Tart from the Sharon Kotzen stable. Louie Mxothwa is the jockey.

The Walmer Handicap is race seven at 15:05.
