It’s no secret that South Africa has a dwindling pool of jockeys of decent caliber, and the Summer Bowl Non-Black Type, won by DOUBLE GRAND SLAM, served as a glaring example of this issue.
The race was tailor-made for a front-running effort from RASCOVA from draw 2, who was the horse to beat on paper—if ridden properly. Unfortunately, the ride she received from Denis Schwarz was a disappointing display of race pacing.
