Africa-Press<\/a> – Namibia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Popular and decorated race horse Starlile again took centre stage at the well-attended Kaondeka Horse Racing Event in Okahandja on Saturday. If there was any doubt of Starlile\u2019s supremacy in racing, this was erased with the last and eleventh race at the Okahandja Racing Club on the outskirts of the town, where hundreds of the sports\u2019 enthusiasts gathered to witness excellent horse racing.<\/p>\n

For many revellers, the horseracing event was the first outdoor event since the latest public gathering restrictions were amended. Eleven races took place but the best was reserved for last as Starlile came up in the 2 000 metres race against the likes of Stebbins (Professor Supporters Club), French Leave (Aminuis Racing), You Touched My Heart (Riverside Racing), Time Master (Khomas Turf Club) and Visigoth of Aminuis Racing.<\/p>\n

Straight out of the blocks, Starlile showed clear intent, positioning himself well in the front three until halfway through the race. Starlile broke away and put clear distance between him and the pack, sending the supporters into a frenzy as he crossed the winning line in first place and crowning what was an excellent day of horseracing in Okahandja.<\/p>\n

Starlile\u2019s owner Mannes Hendricks said, after the final race, he was not surprised by the performance and the result. \u201cWe took Starlile to South Africa for a month and a half to get professional training and participate in a couple of races. What we saw here was the fruits of all the hard work.\u201d<\/p>\n

An elated Hendricks said Starlile will participate in a few more races this year and promised that wherever and whenever that will be, \u201cStarlile will not disappoint his loyal fans\u201d. Chairperson of Kaondeka Racing Club Bernardt Kaanjuka was at a loss for words.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have very little to say. I am so proud and happy that the event concluded successfully. The races were excellent, the atmosphere was 100% and spectators conducted themselves very well. Thank you to our sponsor, Standard Bank who helped us make this event a huge success,\u201d said the soft-spoken former Brave Warriors coach.<\/p>\n

Starlile\u2019s jockey, Adolf Leevi said he prepared adequately for the race and was happy that his horse took top honours. \u201cI am not a man of many words. I do my talking on the racetrack and the result of our stable\u2019s hard work was there for all to see. Starlile and I look forward to the next race.\u201d Standard Bank\u2019s public relations manager Isack Hamata said he is happy with the turnout, the performances and the general atmosphere.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am happy that we made it possible for horse racing fans to come out in their numbers to enjoy themselves in the open. There was also a lot of business activities happening on the sidelines of the races. It makes us happy and proud to see that our partnership with Kaondeka is not only benefitting the horse racing fraternity but also small businesses and providing entertainment to fans. We look forward to a bigger and better event next year,\u201d Hamata concluded.<\/p>\n
