From amongst this month’s nominations we selected a nomination from Glenda Smyth for her horse Riziz, Glenda told us

I would like to nominate Riziz for horse of the month for March 2014.

He had his 1st run this prep on 1st March at Morphettville in the $50,000 Adel.
Galvinising Hcp. over 1200m. He was ridden by apprentice Harry Coffey. He won by a length and a half and we were extremely proud of him.

He went on to win his next start on 10th March at Morphetville in the listed Matrice Stakes over 1200 m. on Adelaide. Cup Day very well ridden by Damien Oliver.

5 year old Riziz is by Zariz out of Priya (a Covetous mare) and  was bred by his trainer Ken Sweeney. He has now won 9 races 2 seconds & 4 thirds from
22 starts for $502,500. We are all very proud to call him our champ with 5 listed race wins now to his credit. Amongst his very proud owners are myself, Carol Adams & Tess McGrath who are all members of SAROA.

We wish the owners continued success with Riziz who has proved to be an excellent racing proposition and as a five year old gelding, should still deliver more positive results for them.
