As he puts the finishing touches to Pack Leader’s assault on Saturday’s WSB Summer Cup at Turffontein, there is an air of sadness in the Randjesfontein stable of Alec Laird.
Laird considers Carbon Leader, Green Top, Lagadima and last week’s Vaal winner Marigold as among the best horses he trained for White. Another trainer who did exceptionally well for White was Diane Stenger with Glenrossal, probably the pick of the good number of winners she saddled for the popular owner. The filly won four races including the Gauteng Fillies Guineas.
With regard to Pack Leader’s chance in Saturday’s Summer Cup, Laird feels there are a number of factors in his favour. “First it’s a handicap, he’s well drawn and my jockey [S’manga Khumalo] is in red-hot form.”
