Super Saturday was a roaring success for VAR with Twitter and Contador coming in first and second respectively in the first race of the day, the Juvenile Plate over 1100 m – future speedsters in the making? And to add to the fun, Twitter was beautifully ridden by one of our favourite jockeys, MJ Byleveld, who is also sponsored by Avontuur.
We were also thrilled with Princess of Light’s brave second place in the the country’s premier staying race, the R1 million Gr 1 Ladbrokes Gold Cup over 3200m. Her great performance over this longer distance once again proves VAR’s versatility over any distance and in most circumstances.
