Jockey gets the three-year-old colt home by a bare 0.30-lengths.
The biggest plaudits after Oriental Charm's dramatic victory in Saturday's R5 million Hollywoodbets Durban July went to jockey Juan-Paul van der Merwe and his brave front-running tactics.
Trainer Brett Crawford said: "Unbelievable! It was a flawless ride."
It was Van der Merwe's first win in South Africa's most famous horse race, which was watched by a crowd of 50 000. He got the three-year-old colt home by a bare 0.30-lengths from a flying Cousin Casey, ridden by S'Manga Khumalo.
