The Citizen (Gauteng)

Marcus has booked a fabulous ride

- Bonginkosi Nkosi

The jockey-trainer combinatio­n of Anton “Superman” Marcus and Johan Janse van Vuuren have teamed up 21 times for 13 victories this season, and have built an impressive­ly high 61.9% win strike-rate.

This figure is more than likely to be increased when the Highveld-based conditione­r saddles Being Fabulous in Race 5, a FM Pinnacle Stakes over 1800m on the Greyville Turf track on Sunday afternoon.

This daughter of High Chaparral is in sparkling form having won two of her last four performanc­es.

She can be forgiven for her most recent effort when beaten 1.65 lengths into third by Sylvan On Fire in the Grade 3 Yellowwood Handicap over 1800m considerin­g she was brushed at the 150m marker.

Raes' Dyna Jet looks to be her strongest challenger.
