El Mundo vigorously smashes Kenyatta Cup at Ngong

Charles Njenga leads El Mundo to victory in the Kenyatta Cup race at Ngong Race course on October 15 , 2017.

What you need to know:

  • Peter Wesonga from Brookside, presented the Kenyatta Cup to Yogi Patel, assisted by Jockey Club Directors, Joe Muya and Margaret Shava.

  • Blue Arrow just had to gaze forlornly at Flash Harry's Bazooka like dexterity. Bulawayo was right out of depth, surfing distant waves with Espionage.

Tumbling in for Brookside's Kenyatta Cup confection, was none other than El Mundo (Charles Njenga), who wrote a solitary composition, dismantling anything that dared to swipe his oxygen.

Talk about a whitewash. El Mundo cleaned the deck by 9 sassy lengths from Knighthood, Caen, and, Manzhouli. Notorious could not generate any speed, confirming staunch priorities as a stayer.

Flash Harrry (Julie McCann), referred everyone in the Vicky Jackman Memorial Cambric Cup feature, to lesser births, as this duo set an impressionistic passage from ground zero.

Compliments to trainer, Stewart McCann, on his inaugural winner, for a sizable syndication.
