For those of you who are speculating that Piere Strydom will announce his retirement should See It Again win Saturday's Hollywoodbets Durban July, here's a piece of advice for you.
Forget it! Strydom is clearly relishing his twilight racing years and it sees it will continue as long as he is capable of riding and is enjoying himself.
"I'm riding at 58kg and above, I'm not taking a lot of rides and I don't have to ride at every meeting," said Strydom yesterday.
"My win percentage is right up there, I've had two Grade 1 winners in the past periods and I don't have to ride at every meeting.
"I'm having fun." The future is looking bright and Strydom can report that he has extended his contract to ride for ASSM Racing Syndicate, and a trip to Ireland later in the year is in the offing.
