SCHWARZ TO CONTEST HH SHEIKHA FATIMA BINT MUBARAK APPRENTICE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP (IFAHR) IN RUSSIA
Apprentice Denis Schwarz will be jetting off to Kazan, Russia at the end of August to contest the 6th race of the HH Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak Apprentice World Championship (IFAHR) to be held at the Kazan Racecourse on Thursday 30 August. Kazan is a 1,012 year old city and is considered to be the “third capital” of Russia after Moscow and St Petersburg. Kazan has the biggest racecourse in Russia, and this leg of the HH Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak Apprentice World Championship (IFAHR) promises to be very special as it will be held on National Day for Kazan!
Denis is very excited to be representing South Africa and said “I am really grateful and excited for this amazing opportunity that the Academy has given me! I’m looking forward to my first race outside of South Africa and will represent the Academy and the country to the best of my ability!”
Denis is in excellent form, having bounced back from a brief quiet spell, with a slew of winners in the past few weeks, including a recent treble at Turffontein and double at Flamingo Park.
