'William' wins his 13th race!

Spies Racing paid tribute to William Robertson, on Facebook, as below:

Some horses win races. William Robertson wins legacies. Thirteen career victories, each one a masterclass. On Sunday at Hollywoodbets Scottsville, he did what great horses do—turned top weight into an afterthought and class into a statement.


Effortless. Elite. Untouchable. The Marula Sprint was never in doubt. 1.3 lengths clear at the line, another R200,000 feature in the books. He’s not just a winner; he’s the horse other horses measure themselves against—and come up short.


Ryan Munger put it best: "Magnificent. Versatile. The reason I made the trip. You don’t pass up a ride on a horse like this. You don’t get many like this."


A massive thank you to his owners: Rob Macnab, Keegan Govender, X Spies, and Waste Glass Recovery (Pty) Ltd (Nom: Jannie H de Lange). This horse is special, and so is the team behind him.


Spies Racing. William Robertson. The Standard.
