Kabamba

DOUBLE FOR VIP AS THE RUN CONTINUES

The winners keep on rolling in, and this time they were received by a delighted trainer Herman Brown, who just arrived back from Dubai.

On a one week break from his string in Dubai, Brown return to his headquarters and duly booted home an impressive double.

The once raced 2 year old, Kabamba, was a particularly impressive. He is young and still learning how to race but impressed by easily moving up and winning in a canter.

Welesa (Kumaran Naidoo) was quick to break the line. Warsaw Concerto (Bosch) and Kabamba (Brown) were showing pace. Somewhere (Bosch) and Damarca (Benton) were further back. Lambado Beau (Kumaran Naidoo) was last by seven lengths. Kabamba took the lead over at the 400m mark on the outside.

Kabamba was a length clear at the 200m pole and he won very easily going well from Warsaw Concerto and Welesa who completed the placings. Kabamba is by Sportsworld out of an Al Mufti mare, Silk Wind. Trainer: Herman Brown. Breeder: Alchemy Stud. Owners: Messrs S Johnsen, R Plersch, P A Rhodes, Mr Rajesh and Mrs Priscilla Maharaj.
