IN the absence of defending champion Yer-Maan, Rock the Country will be aiming for a double at the OK Grand Challenge at Borrowdale Racecourse this afternoon. After winning the Castle Tankard, Rock The Country will have to contend with 16 other runners in the 1 800 meters race. The (Grade Two) event has $40 000 in stakes and the main race, will be race seven.

Fans and shoppers from all walks of life are expected to descend on the race course for a festival of fun which should set the tone for tomorrow’s big Nations Cup qualifier between Zimbabwe and Malawi.

The bookmakers believe Flax who is placed 3/1 odds will be the favourite.

The South African thoroughbred will be one of the five horses races trained by Bridget Stido taking part in today’s race.

Trainer, Gokhan Terzi, owner of Rock The Country, believes they have a chance.
