About
At the Vaal R7 SA Derby on 4 April, the 84-handicap (F & M) featured Bosum Buddy, a 5yo gelding trained by Paul Matchett. He is by Canford Cliffs out of My Friend Lee. To date, Bosum Buddy has recorded two victories, including a standout win on 23 Dec 2025 at Vaal in the $128245.00 handicap. The horse has been a rewarding choice for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 32% return on investment.
