QUID PRO QUO, a home-bred by Gerald Kalil, the daughter of Lance cemented her claims of being the best two-year-old filly in the country with a stunning victory in the Gr1 Douglas Whyte Stakes and in so doing was elected the World Pool Moment of the Day!

Quid Pro Quo’s groom, Asithandile Mgadeni, said that even though the filly finished second in her first two starts, she never ran a bad race. He went on to say he was very happy for his boss, trainer Barend Botes, for the supporters and her jockey, S’manga Khumalo.

Quid Pro Quo’s task was made more difficult as she pulled a shoe going to the start and after consultation Botes decided that the course farrier should take off both front shoes.

S’manga Khumalo switched her in as the field entered the straight to join Fatal Flaw. The pair raced head-and-head for a few strides, but Quid Pro Quo finally got the upper hand to win well.

World Pool Moment of the Day was introduced in South Africa since last year and the initiative rewards the Groom of the horse selected with a staggering R100 000! Congratulations go to all the connections of the star filly, Quid Pro Quo, especially her Groom, Asithandile.
