Gary Alexander - Star of the Week

The Alexander family name is firmly etched into the history books of South African Horseracing and trainer GARY ALEXANDER has continued the great success his father Duncan had as a professional jockey in the sport. After starting off as an assistant to his dad, Gary took out his trainer’s licence in 1982 and has saddled in excess of 1300 winners, including over a century of graded and listed winners during a distinguished career. The yard has always had Turffontein racecourse as their base and it isn’t surprising that they have enjoyed most of their success at the city track. In fact, Gary’s most memorable moment in his career has come on his home track when he dominated the inaugural running of Champion’s Day by winning two Grade 1 races, in addition to the marathon staying event, the Gold Bowl. The stable has been associated with greats such as Ruby Clipper, Tommy Hotspur, Drum Star, Clifton King but will fondly be remembered for R60 000 purchase Pierre Jourdan’s amazing achievements and his good second behind champion filly Igugu in the Vodacom Durban July of 2011. Gary saddles a quality staying filly in the form of COBY in this Saturday’s South African Fillies Classic and whilst he rates her highly, he acknowledges that her main mission for the season is the South African Oaks at the end of April. He gets great support from his brother Dean and WINNING FORM, SPORTING POST and HOLLYWOODBETS.NET wishes the entire Alexander team everything of the best in their future endeavours.
