Marinaresco does it this time at July─── 07:25 Sun, 02 Jul 2017
Durban - Last year’s runner-up, Marinaresco, went one better in this year’s Durban July to take home the spoils at Greyville Racecourse.
IOL reports Marinaresco became the first horse since Pocket Power in 2008 to win the July with a top weight of 60kg.
Ironically, Marinaresco ran in the same silks as Pocket Power in 2008.
The victorious jockey on Marinaresco was Bernard Fayd’herbe, who also won with Pocket Power in 2008, so it was almost like it was meant to be in the R4.25 million race over 2 200m.
Al Sahem finished in second place, with Edict of Nantes third.
