Owner Of The Month – December 2016

PUBLISHED: 26 January 2017

GARY CUMMING

When someone tells you he or she has been involved in such and such an activity all their life, one tends to see it as being all their adult life or at best from their teenage years.

But in Gary’s case that statement is as close as one is likely to get to being true. From the age of five he was a regular visitor “with my folks” to the race track in Zimbabwe where there were no age restrictions and the thrill of the sport and the beauty of the thoroughbred became his passionate love.

Since moving to South Africa his love of the horse and the sport has continued to grow and since the early 90’s he has been involved in partnerships with many horses and has had the occasional dabble into breeding.

Today he races in partnership with Clint Larson and Ian Horsefield and is involved in about 17 horses with Tony Rivalland and Mark Dixon and has expressed his great thanks to them and a special thanks to Mark’s wife Hayley that have all contributed to his enjoyment and success.

During the month of December Gary had three winners together with Clint and Ian and is very excited about the prospects of his last winner, Wynkelder, that he says “could be anything.”

Well done Gary
