Silverstone Air shines at Guineas trial in Ngong

Silverstone Air (James Muhindi), turned Abby Rose to jello as he ran away with the H. V Pirie Guineas Trial at Ngong on Sunday.

Impala and Kidnap just hung lose, way back.

No-one was able to tackle the King of Awesome, Pharoah's Advocate, as he added plenty mustard to his finish in the Uhuru Cup.

Tenby had a brief few moments rattling Pharoah at the beginning, but to no avail. The Galloping Gerriatrics have had such fun as premier owners.

Bulawayo and El Mundo were welded in another county, unable to even participate on that level.

Clothes Horse snapped the key out of River King and and Navy Seal's ignition in the Eldoret Race Club Cup. He been round the block on many occasions, reverentially knocking contenders off all their intentions.

Trainer Patsy Sercombe ruled air-waves with four symbolic winners as the meeting heralded glad tidings for closure until 2019.
