Sunday sees the second leg of the International Jockeys Challenge being contested at Kenilworth in the Cape. After the first leg at Turffontein on Friday night, the Internationals are in a commanding lead with 223 points over the 189 points of the Proteas.

Variety Club, a three year old colt by speed sire Var, made the most of his weight advantage as he easily accounted for the R200 000 Grade 3 Matchem Stakes (1400m) at the country course of Durbanville in the Cape on Sunday.

Durbanville is country racing at its best. Sweeping green lawns, where families like to picnic, while the kids engage in a serious game of rugby or soccer and a small grandstand from a bygone era that provides much needed shade on hot summer days.
