Kotzen's star to shine

David Thiselton
The Glen Kotzen yard have seven runners on Vodacom Durban July day and will contest three Grade 1 races including the big one with Fabiani.
Jockey Derryl Daniels spoke on behalf of the yard and said, “Fabiani has a big heart and is in the race for a reason. He has been striding nicely in his work and will see out the trip. He has a nice inside draw. But that could be a good or a bad thing. Ideally you want to be drawn in the middle in the July.”
The yard has Imperious Star and Lady Windermere in the Garden Province over 1 600m. Daniels will be attempting to win his second Grade 1 race on Imperious Star this season having won the Woolavington over 2 000m on her.
He said, “This is down in trip for Imperious Star and that might find her out. But she is fit and well and will run a good race.
“Lady Windermere won this race last year. She has tons of ability and showed a bit of a form return last time. She likes Durban and came right at the end of the season last year. If she runs a place we will be happy.”
They have Six Blue Notes and Big On Broadway in the Grade 1 Durban Thekwini and he said, “Six Blue Notes will enjoy this trip but is very widely drawn. Big On Broadway has so much ability but is not putting it in. We must figure out why.”
In the Grade 3 Schweppes 2000 they run Robinson Crusoe and Daniels said, “His work on sand has been excellent but he’s not a reliable horse. If he puts his best foot forward he will run a big race. Stuart (Randolph) knows him well and was happy with his gallop at the July gallops.”
In the Grade 2 Gold Vase over 3 000m they have Gilmore Girl and he said, “She is fit and well and will like this trip. We’re looking for a nice big run.”
