Golden Pheasant keeps impressing

We’ve kept tabs on Golden Pheasant, the former Heversham Park stalwart sold on in 2020, and we remain delighted and impressed.

On Tuesday, the resolute seven-year-old almost pulled off a sensational upset in the G1 Summer Cup, finishing in third to Flying Carpet after a strong challenge.

He races for trainer Barend Botes and owner Andre van Schaik, and Botes planned the race meticulously with jockey Ryan Munger for a R200,000 pay cheque.

Well done to all!
