Marthinus Mienie: Star of the Week

11 years 10 months ago
#400865
After 30 years in the saddle self-confessed perfectionist, MARTHINUS MIENIE, is entitled to be called a ‘true blue’ veteran of the South African turf. Despite having always ridden at 57kgs and upwards, Mienie has enjoyed a distinguished career as a jockey and is renowned for giving his mounts a strong finish to the wire. Despite his weight being his handicap, he has a best finishing position of 5th on the National Jockey’s Log and a 4th placed finish in South Africa’s most prestigious race, the Durban July, the latter being his favourite race he likes to compete in. Of all the horses he has ridden in his successful career he has a very soft spot for recently exported Slumdogmillionaire, whom he rode a brilliant tactical race on when winning last year’s Grade 1 South African Classic. This Saturday Marthinus partners the recently relocated son of Dupont, DEPARDIEU in the Jo’burg Spring Challenge for trainer Coenie de Beer. He rates the five-year old entire and punters can expect a decent performance from the former Cape inmate.
