VAR colt Normanz made short shrift of the opposition yesterday at Clairwood when he passed the post more than 6 lenghts ahead of his nearest competitor in the Gr 3 Godolphin Barb Stakes over 1100m. Ridden well by champion jockey Anton Marcus and trained by Charles Laird, this speedy 2yo made winning look easy!
Congratulations to owners Markus and Ingrid Jooste and the whole team behind him. We at Avontuur are obviously thrilled at the result as he was one of the most interesting of our yearling crop offered for sale at the Cape Yearling Sale in January 2012, and we are hoping for more fireworks from this speedster in future.
