Master Sabina won the Summer Cup for me on Saturday for the 2nd year in a row. Other than the Met and the July it is South Africa's most prestigious race and the biggest on the Highveld so its certainly something I am delighted about!
The race is one I will never forget. I cannot recall any major feature race where the winner has come from so far back and had so many traffic issues to deal with and still gone on to win. The horse who came third, Master Switch literally almost squeezed him out of the race but he kept his line and barged his way through a gap that didn't exist. In winning Master Sabina beat the July Handicap winner from this year also. A big thanks to the jockey Gavin Lerena and the trainer Geoff Woodruff.
Sporting Post described the race this way, "A heartstopping burst through a nearly non-existent gap by Summer Cup double hero Master Sabina....Saturday’s tackle buster, reminiscent of Springbok rugby legend Danie Gerber in full cry, will go down as his bravest victory to date"

Where there is a will there is a way, and Master Sabina with his Jockey surely proved that saying to be true. That was impressive skill delivered on the track on Saturday leaving Master Sabina the well deserved winner of the Summer Cup.

Well done that is excellent. I saw the video that you sent out, Master Sabina just came out of nowhere and squeezed through - It looked quite scary and dramatic but he made it. What a great way to end the year.
