MARDI GRAS
After his run over 1200m at the Vaal last Thursday when he came from last to run second in an Assessment Plate, Mardi Gras has shortened in to 33-10 for the World Sports Betting Grand Heritage (Non-Black Type) over 1475m at the Vaal on Saturday.
Recent frost and cold night temperatures retarded grass growth at Vaal Racecourse and necessitated switching two fixtures from the Vaal Classic track to Turffontein, but the Vaal 1600m straight surface should be ready for the Grand Heritage race meeting on Saturday 29 September.
