Best horse, best sprinter to William Robertson

William Robertson, our stable star, perennial crowd favourite, and recent Gr1 Computaform Sprint star, William Robertson lifted two awards at the Highveld Awards Ceremony on Saturday evening.


Xander Spies wrote after the Computaform Sprint:

"He surged not just for himself, but for a stable, for a partnership, for a damn story. Not since Sisyphus reached the summit has a grind felt more earned.

Six years old.

42 starts.

15 wins.

Over R3 million earned.

But none so sweet, none so aching with joy and time and bone and breath, as this one.

The 2025 Computaform Sprint.

Ours."


Never a more deserving award winner, and thanks to his owners Messrs Rob Macnab, Keegan Govender, Waste Glass Recovery (Pty) Ltd (Nom: Jannie de Lange) (in partnership with Xander).
