Introducing Aly Vance, the new presenter of CNN's Winning Post.

For her first show, Aly visited Cape Town, meeting some of the biggest players in South African horse racing ... while filming links from picture postcard locations.

Top trainer Justin Snaith took Aly on a trip to Muizenberg beach where he takes his horses to recharge their batteries.

"It's just such a refreshing feeling for the horses. The cold water and the movement of the ocean takes down any inflammation, any infection," Snaith says.

Aly also traveled to Cavalli Stud Farm to interview managing director, Lauren Smith -- pictured here on the right during a break in filming.

African Horse Sickness requires strict quarantine measures that hinder the easy movement of South African horses abroad. The country's racing authorities, however, are doing an "eye-catching" job at promoting the industry, Vance says.

Winning Post also filmed at the home of nine-time golf major champion and horse lover, Gary Player (pictured right).
