Ngong's racing season has come to a close, with the Sercombe family reaping the rewards of their hard work.

Lesley Sercombe's impressive training skills earned her the top spot, leaving Joe Karari and Captain Oruya in her wake by a significant margin.

James Muhindi's exceptional riding skills earned him the Champion Jockey title, with Patrick Mungai and Richard Kibet rounding out the top four.

Chairlady Mim Haynes regained her position as the leading owner, while Bruce Nightingale maintained his local Breeder knighthood.

The season's standout performer was Silverstone Air, a raging three-year-old and Triple Crowner, who also took home the Horse of the Year award.

Lady Eccles was crowned the top two-year-old, and Gold Pot was hailed as the greatest Sprinter.

The Ngong racing community extends its gratitude to the Stewards and officials who volunteered their Sundays to ensure the smooth running of the season.

The registry office staff are also appreciated for their loyalty and assistance in making the season a success.

The next meeting is scheduled for October 6, 2019.
