Star of the Week: Chris van Niekerk

11 years 8 months ago

Since his humble start in racing, in 1993, when he owned a horse with Paul Lafferty, to 2012 and 2013 when he made history by winning the Vodacom Durban July two years in a row, CHRIS VAN NIEKERK has made himself a household name in South African horseracing. Despite his terrific success in both business and racing, Chris remains a sincere, polite and humble man who treats all he meets as his equal. He is not a man to boast about his achievements but a look at his directorships in business and a look at the horses he has owned tell the story of a highly successful man in all he puts his hand to. It is probably fair to say that a lot of Chris’ success in racing is due to the fact that he has stuck with his trainer, Sean Tarry, since 1998 and they have built a relationship of trust with each other. In this week’s Emerald Cup Chris has three top runners in ACROSS THE ICE, MR TOBIN and TIGER’S RETREAT.
