KZN trainer Tony Rivalland’s sprinter raids Tommy Hotspur Handicap
Five-year-old sprinter Highway Explorer has won two of his past three starts over 1,000m
KwaZulu-Natal trainer Tony Rivalland mounts a rare raid on the Highveld on Tuesday as he has sent up his five-year-old sprinter Highway Explorer to contest the feature race, the R250,000 Tommy Hotspur Handicap. An Aussie-bred import owned by Mary Liley, Highway Explorer has won two of his past three starts over Tuesday night’s distance of 1,000m. Rivalland has booked Lyle Hewitson for the ride and the youngster will know he faces some useful opponents including British Royale, African Ruler, Greasepaint and Splendid Garden. British Royale has done well for his owner Ian Levitan and will again be ridden by Randall Simons who won on the gelding on his penultimate start.
