Spiritual Vodka Umngeni Handicap (Listed)

Durban, KwaZulu Natal: The Gold Cup Festival of Racing will be full to the brim this year as Spiritual Vodka breaks maiden as the festival’s top spirit sponsor. There’s nothing shy about the vodka’s debut appearance at the race as the spirit celebrates the extraordinary.

The Exceptional New Zealand Vodka plans to host equally exceptional VIPs at their private tent at the Champions Cup on Saturday 29 July. It’s no surprise that they’re also responsible for the 6th race of the day: The Spiritual Vodka Umgeni Handicap. As a vodka that honours victory, the merit-rated handicap race supports their belief that everyone has the potential to be exceptional. In addition, The Spiritual Vodka MR 94 Divided Handicap commences as the 9th race on Sunday 30 July.

Having just left the starting gate, it appears Spiritual Vodka is already in the money for a position in the spirit division. With several international awards already in their cup, the Exceptional New Zealand Vodka is reserved for those with exceptional taste and is pure enough to drink neat. Made with New Zealand artesian water, Spiritual Vodka’s smooth finish leaves not a drop of heat on the tongue.

Spiritual serves as a gateway for doing things differently, living for the thrill of surprise. Join Spiritual Vodka at the Gold Cup Festival of Racing from 27-30 July 2017.

My take on the race is the weights put them very close, with Attenborough just set to carry a bit much, and Horse Gaurds probably slight the best off. Lloyds legacy was promising last and could improve more than many in the field , but on exposed form he is thereabouts , no better, and the Marcus factor might make the difference or just attract money better spend elsewhere. I actually Like Hastag or My Pal Al to cause a bit of an upset over the shorter distance on this surface.

Magic Bushy and thanks for the invite, look forward to having a wee Moscow mule
