Gavin Jooste has been a staunch supporter of our yard, he has invested and is plucking fruits, we are very pleased for him.

Corne saddled a pair of Gavin's winners within a few days when his filly Flowerbomb (Erupt – Daffodil), won her second career race from just five starts in a Handicap over 1000m at the Vaal on 27 October. She was bred by Laurence Wernars and Chase Maujean rode her well.

Then, on Charity Mile Day, 29 October, Cian The Conqueror (William Longsword – Pretty Wendy) sprung a surprise in the opener when he ran on well for a win over Munchkin in what looked like an above-average Maiden field. Marco van Rensburg was impressed, so is the stable and we think both three-year-olds will win their fair share of races. Well done to Gavin!
