Snow Palace in top form

July 20, 2022

Snow Palace had been showing exceptional work and with her drop in rating (MR105 – MR78), she finally managed a well-deserved fourth career win under S’Manga Khumalo at the Vaal on Tuesday.

“It’s nice to get the nod from a trainer and to ride a fit horse,” said Khumalo after assistant trainer Francois Naude had given him all the pre-race confidence he needed.

Well done to my partners for keeping the faith in her. She is the most beautiful grey in the country. Well done to Spies Racing!”
