PIERE Strydom could hardly believe his luck when It’s My Turn lived up to his name in last Saturday’s Investec Cape Derby.

The six-time champion had expected to ride Black Arthur and was disappointed to be told that stable jockey Bernard Fayd’Herbe would be on that one – even more so when the stable’s second string was scratched and he found himself on a 16/1 shot who was rated nearly two stone behind the best horse in the race.
