Oliver Gray, Patsy Sercombe shine at Ngong
Dusha ridden by Joseph Mutevu charges past Pretty Pearl with Jockey James Muhindi (right) and Paul Kiarie aboard Kenyan Queen during The Kidman Bowl race at Ngong race Course on on November 27, 2022.
Sumptuous World Cup coverage consumed our usual Ngong racing audience, but not to the detriment of some refined competition.
Doctor Patsy Sercombe trained a quartet for various owners, while Oliver Gray collected a double. The Jim Kidman Bowl had Oliver's, Dusha, looking Herculean - rippling muscles like the Mediterranean Sea. From the off, Dusha governed his speed eminently, casting the hook for liberty.
The Bix Maiden drew a slightly messy start. Sienna refused to take part and Easterly went hugely wide. It really cost him the honors. Once they bunched together, Bampton was flowing charmingly, conclusively deterring opponents. Daytime Girl did not participate.
Saint Mortiz never buckled in the Tryon 7 Furlong Cup, but Satyan definitely went better of the two, nearing home.
Saint Moritz steered by jockey Richard Kibet leads Satyan ridden by Jockey James Muhindi on November 27th 2022 to win The Tyron 7 Furlong Cup at Ngong racecourse on November 27, 2022
