S\u2019manga Khumalo\u2019s bid to land his first jockey\u2019s title has got off to a whirlwind start, with rivals Piere Strydom and Anthony Delpech already trailing by more than 12 winners after the first month of the new season.<\/p>\n

But Khumalo can argue that he is certainly dedicating long hours to his job \u2013 he rode in 55 more races than any other jockey in August. He competed in 155 races, well ahead of Stuart Randolph\u2019s 100 and Sherman Brown\u2019s 99.<\/p>\n

It is already a year to remember for Khumalo with his victories in two important Grade 1 races, the Vodacom Durban July and President\u2019s Champion Challenge.<\/p>\n

The question now is: can he maintain this frenetic schedule, which includes regularly flying to compete in Durban and Port Elizabeth from his base in Johannesburg?<\/p>\n

Trainer Sean Tarry is the man who had Heavy Metal at his peak to win the two big features<\/a> for owner Chris van Niekerk, and Khumalo is scheduled to partner three runners for the stable at the Vaal on Thursday. \u2013 BD Live<\/a><\/p>\n
