Durban July winner and Equus Horse Of The Year Legislate has delighted trainer Justin Snaith with his work at Kenilworth as he prepares for his return to racing next weekend.
Snaith was thrilled with his gallop on November 13 with big race jockey Richard Fourie aboard.
“It was fantastic to see him moving so well. The injury he picked up on July day had been a bit of a concern and that is now all past us,” Snaith said.
“He is back to his best and peaking at the right time. I couldn’t be happier with where he is at the moment.“This horse never ceases to amaze me.”
