BORROWDALE Park and Racecourse will host the Zimbabwe Challenge where Jet Mirage is expected to do well in the 1 450 metre event this afternoon.
Mirage off the Debra Swanson stable will have Jefrey Syster on the irons and is expected to fight six other runners in the 1450m.
The seven-year-old chestnut gelding will be expected to be at his best form when he takes to the starting stalls.
Also in the starting stalls will be former Republic Cup winner Jager Moon, who will have Norbert Takawira as the pilot.
Borrowdale Park last staged a racing event on December 29, when the Champion Fillies, won by African Beat was held.
Today’s feature race will not be short of seasoned runners with Action Zone in the mix.
Action Zone is a successful horse in Zimbabwe, known for winning several feature races at Borrowdale Park, most notably the US$50 000 Castle Tankard grade one race in May 2025.
The horse was also named the Borrowdale Park Horse of the Year for the 2024/25 season.
Also, in the line-up will be six-year-old Ideal View, a former MTC Challenge winner.
Swanson will have three runners with Thomas Mason, Gavin McLeod, Bridget Stido and Amy Parham will provide a single runner each.
