Zackey and Tarry just have to snap their fingers
Jack Milner
The combination of trainer Sean Tarry and jockey Craig Zackey has been highly successful and it would come as no surprise were they to rack up a few more winners at Turffontein on Thursday when they race on the Standside track.
Zackey is in great demand at the moment and with great justification as he has built up a massive lead on the jockeys’ log.
Going into this meeting Zackey has ridden 212 winners and sits 52 winners clear of Richard Fourie who is sitting on 160.
Muzi Yeni is third with 120 wins while Cavin Habib lies in fourth place on 102 victories.
Zackey has eight rides on the nine-race card and five of them are for Tarry. Many of them have winning chances on a competitive card but possibly their best could be Snap Your Fingers who lines up in Race 3, a Juvenile Plate over 1600m on the Standside track.
Her debut over 1400m against males was quietly full of promise, and now she steps up to a 1600m, a move that screams intent. The Futura filly meets winners but gets weight where it matters, and with that first run under the belt, she looks best in a decent event.
Zackey retains the ride, and that will no doubt be in her favour.
