It would be no surprise if, in his dreams, veteran trainer Tyrone Zackey sees his horse Smanjemanje getting the better of a neck-and-neck finish with Pomodoro in the 2012 Vodacom Durban July.
It is somewhat ironic that Pomodoro was ridden by Piere Strydom who, over the years, has ridden many winners for the Zackey stable. As Zackey was ill and unable to attend Sunday’s meeting, Johnny Hero’s July participation could not be confirmed. But the trainer has never been one to duck a challenge — proof of this is sending Glider Pilot to contest the 2017 Daily News and Pennington Sands for a CTS race in the Cape.
That assessment is spot on, particularly the description of Zackey being affable and likable. In my 49 years as a racing scribe, only Geoff Woodruff falls into the same category as someone who is as easy to interview. On the subject of jockeys, the intriguing question is who will partner Johnny Hero if he makes the final July field?
