Rainbow Bridge is back at the top of the Vodacom Durban July betting market after a dominant win in Sunday’s Hollywoodbets Gold Challenge at Greyville.
Trainer Eric Sands’s star performer was ridden for the first time on Sunday by champion jockey-elect Warren Kennedy who, unlike many, must wish 2020 will never end. He confirmed he would ride the son of Ideal World in the July. Trainer Joe Soma's talented three-year-old Gotthegreenlight has earned a quote of 8-1 for the July after a decisive win in the grade 1 Daily News 2000. Whether the Turffontein trainer decides to let his young horse take his chance in the big race remains to be seen, but he will have no problems with the distance of 2,200m.
Mike de Kock’s filly was probably inconvenienced by the firm going at the city track and would be a factor at Greyville if there was rain before the race.
