Round two of four in total, of the “Level The Playing Fields” Series takes place at Scottsville on Sunday 30 April.

The final fields of both pools to be run on the day have been released below and see the previous winning jockeys Billy Jacobson (previously on Putchini) and Athandiwe Mgudla (previously on Royal Agree) drawn to ride The Poet and Roy Is Second respectively, this time over the 1400m.

Putchini will be ridden this weekend by Craig Zackey, whilst Royal Agree will be under Doctor Lembethe.

Keep on the results to see who will be at the top of the log next week, and who the leading owner, trainer, breeder and jockey might possibly be to win the overall prize of R50 000 each.

Each leg of each pool will see the races run for a stake of R100 000 each – the series in total for a stake of R1million.

Round 3 will be run over 1600m on 27 May at Scottsville. The final will take place over 1400m on the KZN Breeders Race Day.

With almost R100 000 in prizes up for grabs, 10 people walked away with R5000 vouchers each towards the purchase of a KZN-bred yearling at the upcoming Sibaya KZN Yearling Sale including Mike De Kock – a sale that seen a multitude of Gr1 winners yielded, including KZN-bred Wild One and Graded Stakes winners’ Virgo’s Babe, Colour Of Courage and Royal Pleasure.
