MARIO FERREIRA

For a man who has “not yet been bitten by the racing bug”, Gauteng businessman Mario has invested heavily in the sport in the two years since being talked into becoming a racehorse owner and currently has “60 or 70” horses which he races throughout the country in various stables.

During the month three of his horses won in KwaZulu-Natal, two from the yard of Dennis Bosch, contributing to his 41 winners to date.

His string is managed by Des Gonsalves who has been in racing for more than 40 years and who said the coming year could be even more rewarding for Mario who has purchased a number of yearlings to add to his stock.

Well done Mario.
