Imported 2025 Betway Summer Cup hopeful, The Equator (IRE), has been doing very well since his eye-catching first South African win on 2 August at Turffontein.
Trainer Tony Peter reported: “The tracks are really hard at the moment so we are going to wait for rain, so the tracks are nice and green, and then we can step him out again. We only have a programme until the end of September, so it doesn’t help with exact planning. He will be aimed at the Summer Cup via a Pinnacle Plate or two and the Victory Moon Handicap.”
Peter added: “He’s a good horse, we’re really happy with him, he is enjoying life.”
The Equator races for Heversham’s Advocate Nigel Riley, in partnership with Willem Ackerman.
