A short history
With a strong heritage in horse racing, the Kotzen’s were born to train and win! Nathan Kotzen Racing has been in the industry for more than 40 years and has celebrated more than 90 wins in the past 12 months alone (the year 2019)
The trainer
Boasting a phenomenal strike rate, Nathan Kotzen is the dedicated trainer of the team. A great horseman that takes on every challenge with a smile and is dedicated to the industry. Nathan works by putting the horse’s needs first and has a wealth of knowledge and experience under his belt having been a long-standing member of the powerful Mike de Kock team. Based at Summerveld, Nathan (or Natie as he is affectionately known) is described by de Kock as a “top trainer in his own right.”
The horses
With an uncanny ability to recognize a good horse and a passion for genetics, the N.K Racing Team know how to pick winners! Currently, there are 62 horses in training and the yard boasts colts and fillies from prestigious stallions such as Silvano, Noble Tune, Give Me The Green Light, Master Of My Fate and many others.
The location
N.K Racing is based in Summerveld, Durban Outer West KZN. However, the team is constantly travelling nationwide for races, yearling sales, and other industry-related events.
The Jockeys
Carefully selecting each jockey, N.K Racing ensures they only work with reputable and talented jockeys such as the legendary 5000-time winner Pierre Strydom.
Another favourite is international rider Anton Marcus who has racked up an incredible 102 Grade1 wins in a long and illustrious career and is currently completing a century of top-level wins achieved in South Africa alone.
Being able to identify talent in the young jockeys, the N.K Racing team recently gave 22-year-old Gabrielle Pieterse his very first WIN on Springtime Breeze.
The results of each race prove the expertise of N.K Racing, not only their ability to pick good horses and train them exceptionally well but also the natural gift of recognizing talent and pairing the right riders with the right horses for each race.
