ABOUT: The Champions Cup
Roll Of Honour:
2014
No one will forget the day Crawford and the now retired jockey Glen Hatt had as they followed up their Gold Cup triumph moments later with Futura winning the Champions Cup (Gr1), a race that Crawford won in 2013 with the now retired Jackson.
*Futura has since gone on to dominate the Cape Town season collecting both the L’Ormorins Queens Plat and the J&B Met, and will be one of the leading protagonists for the 2015 Vodacom Durban July.
