Pierre STRYDOM alias STRIKER

We have all congratulated JJ (hope he understands the hong kong guys, and the English...)
We have all congratulated Lucky for the training..
We have all congratulated the owners for making the .........

However, look at the race again...
Jockey...
Perfect timing...
I will go that far...any other jockey and JJ runs 3rd or worse..
last 5 or even last 4 meters...STRIKER STRUCK again..
brilliant judge...brilliant balance to propel the JJ the last 5 meters to nip them on the line...

Like I said before..no UK, no AUS, no USA, no Marcus, no Shea, no Dettori will ever have the same NATURAL balance as STRIKER..

Well ridden by the best BALANCED JOCKEY ever around..
Ask Whyte and Muis Roberts for their views wrt STRIKER...

Hilt do you not think Strydom has under achieved?..... probably the most natural talent we have in South Africa but he seems to lack motivation on occasions?

I was gonna say before Andre set himself up for another law suit that if Strydom wanted to try HK or elsewhere he will not get better opportunity than this.

Grecko also should be next in line for some top horsies locally

Beatutiful race. 3 top horsies so close.

Agree with all that was a brilliant ride . Striker may not do that much work in the mornings but he remains as pirates said one of our best jocks ever. His balance and timing is unbelievable. I also noticed that the TV commentators praised everyone except striker which was weird. Striker has spent time in Hong Kong (over 50 winners ) and in the UK im not sure he needs to or wants to do it again.Maybe the new lass has got his attention here at home. Well done Striker you remain our champ.

Is there any chance we can get a replay of this race here? I missed it due to other responsibilities on Sunday morning. I did however have a sentimental small punt which happened to come off :)

I know I'm all the way in the US so I have probably missed a LOT but is Striker and his wife divorced?
