Dean Kannemeyer’s Dynasty gelding Solid Speed won at Greyville for the third time in succession when taking the Gr 3 Lonsdale Stirrup Cup over 2400m under Donovan Dillon and he will be a big runner in the Gr 1 eLan Property Group Gold Cup.

Disco Al ran on well for second and Heart Of A Lion ran a particularly eyecatching race, weaving his way through from the back for third. Mountain Master in fourth and Kingston Mines in fifth also had good preparations for the Gold Cup, particularly the latter.
