"I am not only a trainer of racehorses but a long distance runner myself, so I realise how important it is to feel good, both mentally and physically, when competing. I myself am a user of Cili Bao, and have felt its benefits both during training and performance.

My story begins with the purchase of a well-bred expensive racehorse at the National Yearling Sales. His name is The Royal Set and he became the pride and joy of the stable, as he was not only a very good looking horse but showed a great deal of potential in his work. When the time came to run the horse, unfortunately, his performance did not match up to what he was showing in his work at home. There was undoubtedly a problem, but what?

The endless round of blood tests started and it became evident that the horse had a weak immune system, coupled with the fact that he was anaemic. We immediately set about rectifying the problem by injecting him with iron and feeding him Cili Bao, which, I must add, he loves.

The Royal Set began to put on weight, his coat blossomed and his whole attitude to life changed. His racing performance is now that of a different horse. In his first run on Cili Bao and iron he improved by 12 lengths. His next two runs both produced second placings, after he had torn away to the front, with tremendous zest, only to tire at the finish. He then ran third, over a distance short of his best, and, a mere 36 hours later, won by 5 lengths, over 2 000 metres, in the capable hands of champion jockey, Piere Strydom. He has run consistently well since, and is now justifying the potential we always thought he had.

In my experience with Cili Bao it not only balances the metabolism, but horses seem to recover from their racing that much quicker."
