This horse racing event that took place over the weekend, was a real hit with a great crowd and a live band that rocked it. Not only was the event well organized but also quite exhilarating.
The skilled Lesley who is contracted to ride Fast Five from Patsy Sercombe's stable raced through the line to lift the race title by two and three-quarter lengths in the meet, clocking 1.40.1.
The South African breed took command of the race at the start and kept engaging the field of eight runners in the tracks. Inside the final bend at 1,000m mark, Lesley steered the filly in the middle lane as Muhindi moved Party In The Park in his revered inner lane threatening to steal pace to go ahead.
Vying for the second and third places, James Muhindi jockeying Zimbabwean strain Party in The Park beat Patrick Mungai's South African breed Abby Rose by a short head. Paul Kiarie steering Grace Kelly came in fourth with two and a half lengths separating her from Henry Muya's La Cha Cha.
In the 2,060m KHS Handicap, Lesley led Piece Of Cake (another Patsy-trained filly) to victory, and once again consigned Muhindi-riding Winter Comet to the second place as Mungai's Marico settled for the third spot.
In the DT Dobie Handicap, Peligroso, jockeyed by Kiarie grabbed her first win in five starts, timing 1.14.4 in the 1,200m stretch. Peligroso came home two and a half lengths ahead of Muhindi's Top Notch as Repton by Lesley was third in this sprint.
