Matador Man Aiming For 2nd KZN Breeders Million Mile Victory
Matador Man, who won last year’s KZN Breeders Million Mile over 1600m at Greyville from Dawn Calling, is coming along the right way for a defence of his title.
Trainer Sean Tarry will be aiming the son of Toreador at the same race this year and following the four-year-old’s convincing win under top weight in a Progress Plate over 1600m at Turffontein on Saturday, his owners will have a good degree of confidence.
Tarry told Turf Talk: “He wasn’t too far back in the race and won well in what looked like quite a solid field. The addition of blinkers also seems to have made a difference.”
Matador Man, by Toreador, was bred by the Scott Brothers from the mare Sahara, by Mogok.
