Summer Pudding was one of the best fillies seen in action on the Highveld for some time, winning her first 10 starts on the trot and that included the Grade 1 Betway Summer Cup where she gave weight and a hiding to the boys in no uncertain manner.
Trained by Paul Peter, she retired from racing having won 11 of her 13 races, and it is only fair that she has a race named in her honour.
The Listed Summer Pudding Handicap for fillies and mares will be run at on the Standside track at Turffontein this evening and it is great to see after years of Covid and loadshedding that night racing returns to Turffontein.
The Summer Pudding Handicap is Race 6 on the eight-race card and it is worth noting that jockey JP van der Merwe is making the trip up from Cape Town to ride mainly for Mike and Adam Azzie and will be aboard Andi's Girl for the yard in the main event.
