Trainer Dennis Drier reigned over Scottsville on Saturday when he broke Charles Laird’s stranglehold on the R1 million Tsogo Sun Sprint with Captain Of All, now regarded as the leading male sprinter in South Africa.

Trainer Charles Laird and jockey Anton Marcus clearly hold a soft spot for Delago Deluxe and the three-year-old colt will be even more of a favourite with the pair after his victory in the G1 Golden Horse Casino Sprint at Scottsville on Saturday.

As the Vodacom Durban July contenders take a well deserved break, the Golden Horse Casino Sprint race day at Scottsville in Pietermaritzburg celebrates its 50th year on Saturday with the running of the R600 000, Group 1 Golden Horse Casino Sprint (1200m).
