Developing story: Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi confirmed dead in chopper crash
Silverstone Air sets sights on Mzee wa Pwani Trophy tomorrow
James Muinde riding Silverstone Air (SAF) during The Britam Kenya Guineas race at Ngong Race course on February 3, 2019.
Silverstone Air (James Muhindi), had just a slight dip of form behind Western Ballad (Daniel Tanui), which he fully intends to rectify on Sunday at Ngong, during Ray Warner's Mzee Wa Pwani Trophy.
These two golden oldies have been adversaries for ages, which is fun for the public.
Gold Pot is usually prolific down the straight, unless he has adapted to bending rules for 2021. In that case, watch out. Gold Pot is quite the churner of speed.
Public hero has been on a waning episode of late, but if he decides to accordingly revamp, there is not telling what might emerge. Pharoah's Advocate is Mister Consistency, never to be discarded.
This is a smashing race to begin racing's rich vein of appeal.
The Alfa Romeo 1,000m Sprint, has Firing Line written in bold letters across it, but Lesley Sercombe has opted for Lady Eccles on a reduced trip - maybe a pointer. Lady Eccles had enough of longer distances.
Algy appears to have raw talent for the game, but cannot seem to acclimate to stalls as a way of starting.
Dusha is not a bad sort, although not quite on a level par with Firing Line, who also has a five-kilo weight advantage from Kalvin Nganga.
Needless to state, our ever-yearning patrons will still have to bide their time, as no spectators can be permitted.
