A midweek double for ASSM

Arun Chadha and Warne Rippon are well invested in racing – also with their hearts – and we were pleased to put two winners on the board for their ASSM Racing Syndicate this week.

Destiny Of Souls (Kabelo Matsunyane) quickened smartly and bolted away from his opposition in MR88 Handicap at Turffontein’s meeting on Wednesday. He was handily weighted, produced his best and Mike said: “Things didn’t go his way last time. He’s always been a horse looking for ground, being by Master Of My Fate his pedigree suggests that too, so this 1800m suited him well on his first try further than a mile. I think he’s on the up, placed in the right places he’ll win more races. He’ll go for the Derby Trial. He has a few wins in him, on handicap terms.”

Little Mary Sunshine (Matsunyane) carried top weight to victory in a MR81 Handicap over 1450m at Turffontein on Thursday. She, too, was in the right race off her merit rating and, like Destiny Of Souls, can win a few more handicaps if the right ones come along. She is by Silvano, which suggests more improvement to come as an older mare, and she’s one to watch.
