Eric Sands: Star of the Week

11 years 5 months ago
#435867
Top Cape Town based trainer, ERIC SANDS has been plying his trade for over three decades and he is closing in on the 1000 winners mark in his career. He averages a graded winner per season and his name will always be synonymous with the great sprinting champion, Flobayou. Eric has always been content to house a small but competitive string of horses and he currently trains 35 horses at his Milnerton base. He mentions that he has a promising string of two-year olds and the stable must be closely watched in the juvenile races, this season. He has tasted success in the Cape’s Premier sprinting contest, the Grade 1 Cape Flying Championship and he sides with the speedy top class KZN filly, Via Africa to win next Saturday’s event. Whilst he won’t be represented by a runner in the upcoming J & B Met, he has finished runner-up in the event before with his top class, Grande Jete, and he rates the fast-improving, Master Of My Fate as the one to beat in this year’s contest.

I can remember London News winning the Met for Alec Laird was stabled with Eric Sands when it was in Cape Town. I can remember London News running 2nd in the Diadem over 1200m with Derek Martin on board.

When I applied for colours in 1984 Eric signed as my sponsor. His stable is spotless and he is a fine horseman.
Since his setback a few years back he has slowly gained momentum again and is sure to do well.
Cheers Eric my mate, you are tops.
