K & K SYNDICATE

The Gold Circle Owner Award for the month has been bestowed on the K & K Syndicate.

The syndicate was established some years back by long-time owner Shakthi Bunwarie for his daughters Kanchaal and Kajal, the latter sadly having since passed away in 2003. Mr Bunwarie, who is also involved in the breeding of horses, has many horses and also manages the racing affairs of the K & K Syndicate.

Kanchaal, now Mrs Mahabeer, said with her father’s long time involvement in racing they had grown up around horses, visiting the stables and the stud farm and meeting the trainers and jockeys. Racing was in their blood and she regularly goes to the course especially the Vodacom Durban July and when the meetings are in Pietermaritzburg where she lives.

“I have not been much this year as I have a new baby who is just six months old.”

She said they have had a good number of winners including four during November and added that the family would like to extend its gratitude and heartfelt appreciation to the jockeys and trainers.

“We are grateful to the talented jockeys for taking our horses to the finish so skilfully and the trainers who work daily to ensure they are well taken care of and trained to excellence.”

Well done Kanchaal
