National Champion trainer Sean Tarry has several horses involved in Saturday’s big Daily News 2000m meeting features at Greyville, but only two of them have been prepared out of Summerveld.
Assistant trainer Dishone Steyn said, “Liege is doing very well and has come on from his last run. I give him a shout, he is not a bad horse.”
This Gr 1 Daily News 2000 contender will relish the 2000m trip, having won two 1800m Graduation Plat
es in good style recently, one at Turffontein and one on the Greyville poly, and is drawn nine with Karl Zechner up.
Serissa reappears soon after his 8,9 length Betting World 1900 defeat last Friday to run in the Gr 3 Lonsdale Stirrup Cup over 2400m. Steyn confirmed this front-running sort was tough and added, “They went a bit fast last Friday and when they challenged he had had enough. It was disappointing but he has come out of the race beautifully.”
The six-year-old Black Minnaloushe gelding has proven affective over the course and distance before.
