We want to make 2024/5 spectacular for patrons!

The Spies Racing team concluded the 2023/4 season with a double, and crowned a strong last few months to end the term on 26 winners.

Newcomer Kings Again (One World) and Rock Of Bismantova (Future) won on the last Gauteng meeting of the season at the Vaal and Corne said "We had a nice few winter months to end the season and we are happy with the results achieved from a string that averaged less than 40 horses. We are on the up again, Xander's Green Lightning concept is doing well, gaining traction and we look forward to the 2024/5 season."

Rock Of Bismantova, well-placed to win.



Corne said that he was looking forward to the auction sales, including the forthcoming August Sale at the TBA Complex.

"This is traditionally a special time of year when we select new young horses at the various sales coming up, including the August Sale at the TBA complex. We replace the runners moving on with new ones, and we'd like to boost our numbers this year to around 60 horses so we can be more competitive."

The stable is renowned for excellent value buys over many decades, with a long list of top level performers bought at affordable prices and many new and existing owners getting a bite at the cherry.

"We use a specific and tried points system to select yearlings and two-year-olds and we've managed to find a few top runners without fail, every year. We'll be hoping to buy another Van Halen, or a War Horse or a Nourbese or a William Robertson. It's easier to find good quality with some support from buyers so I personally invite owners to contact me on 076 999 6011 or mail cornespies@hotmail.com to discuss how we can get you involved, It will be easier than you think, and we promise you a fun experience, potentially profitable."

Corne said the stable's star performer, William Robertson, will be back on the track at the end of September. He and now three-year-old Chocolate Soldier will be flying the flag in the spring features.
