2018 Trainer of the Month September

DENNIS DRIER

The Gold Circle Trainer Award for the month has been bestowed on Dennis Drier

Dennis is one of the stalwarts of racing in South Africa and has been the KwaZulu-Natal regional champion trainer on many occasions over the years. The nephew and protege of one of the greatest South African trainers of all time, the legendary Syd Laird, his career success over many decades is a tribute to his mentor and to his talent and dedication to his passion.

It is also what the racing public and owners look for in a stable to follow and during the month Dennis again showed his outstanding talent in presenting his charges on a level of perfection that saw 10 make the winner’s enclosure and a further 16 of the 47 runners fielded in the month earning place cheques for their connections.

An example of professionalism and unfailing dedication to inspire any young conditioner, it was yet another performance worthy of the monthly award.

Well done Dennis
