SPORTING POST • FriDAY 22nd - SUNDAY 24th JANUArY 2016 Mike Azzie-trained Rabada is joint top-rated runner and a big effort is expected

Investec Gr1 CAPE DERBY at Kenilworth on Saturday

The Gauteng raiders hold a strong hand in Saturday’s R1 million Gr1 Investec Cape Derby and Justin Snaith appears to hold the only ace of retaining the coveted silverware in the Cape. He saddles Politician Stakes winner Black Arthur, who faces a tough task taking on Gr1 winner Rabada and Cape Guineas runner-up, Brazuca.

ohan Janse van Vuuren sends out joint top-rated Bazuca in his first tilt as a trainer at the Cape Derby and he couldn’t have chosen a tougher class on his first day at school. The Australian-bred Brazuca certainly has the credentials to win this and comes in fit and with the benefit of a 1 draw at his first try beyond a mile. Weichong Marwing rode him in the Cape Guineas, where he ran prominently before failing by three quarters of a length to hold the rampant Noah From Goa – probably close to the top 3yo in the country.

Serious Challenge

His main challenger – certainly on paper – will be Mike Azzie’s Rabada, winner of the Gr1 Premier’s Champion Stakes at Greyville last season, but without a win in two starts this term. He gave Black Arthur 5kgs when finishing out of the money and 2,25 lengths back in the Politician Stakes in his first Cape run after a ten week break. He can only improve. Rabada is not very well drawn at 13 but the services of Anton Marcus and the very fair Kenilworth track could nullify that. Rabada and Brazuca are rated 10 points or five lengths superior to Eighth Wonder, the next best-rated runner. But this is not a case of looking at things in black and white. Greg Ennion’s Magnum Cape Classic winner is the third highest rated runner in the

race, but was unsighted in both the Selangor Cup and Cape Guineas. He has drawn out in Youngsfield Military Base and looks to have it all to do on current form.

Snaith Hope

Justin Snaith is always the man for the big occasion, and the locals will be looking to him be the party spoiler and the grey cloud for the visitors. He saddles a trio and best of his could be Black Arthur, who rose to prominence when beating Marinaresco in the Politician Stakes over 1800m, one of the trials for the Cape Derby. Black Arthur looks to be ahead of the handicapper still and can only get better as he goes futher. His stablemate Star Chestnut will be ridden by Anthony Delpech, but has been well beaten, albeit not disgraced, since his two wins in the KZN winter. Snaith’s third runner It’s My Turn is not well drawn at 15 and gets thown in the deep end after four decent career runs. He could be anything.

Tarry Lurker

Sean Tarry saddles a low-profile candidate in the Dynasty colt Liege, who showed a nice form return when powering home for under a length third to Black Arthur in the Politician Stakes. He is drawn wide out, but he likes to be dopped in and S’manga Khumalo could enjoy better luck than last Saturday’s Sceptre Stakes disaster with Carry On Alice.

The Go Deputy 3yo’s are firing and Adam Marcus trained Royal Badge has won 3 of his 5 starts, without any feature exposue. He impressed with a decent MR 90 Handicap win beating the older Bianzino last time. Mike Bass has Marinaresco and Jet Air carrying the flag for the in-form yard. Politician Stakes rrunner-up Marinaresco is the better of the two but has an awful draw to overcome. The son of Silvano ran on powerfully to get within 0,75 lengths of Black Arthur in the Politician Stakes and even though he is 1,5kgs worse off with the Snaith galloper, looks a classy progressive sort, who will be running at them late. The form of his penultimate run, when beaten 1,55 lengths by Milton, was franked when that one chased Light The Lights all the way to the line in the recent Gr2 Peninsula Handicap. Jet Air is racing off form at the moment and after winning 2 of his first 5 starts, has not quite gone on with things.

Crawford Pair

Brett Crawford’s pair of Nebula and One Away have both been blessed with decent draws. Corne Orffer rides Nebula, who looks the stronger, but ran 3,50 lengths back in the

Can you hear it? The thunder of hooves is approaching in Africa’s Richest Horse Race, the CTS Million Dollar - runs January 2016

Politician and is well held by Black Arthur, and a host of others. One Away has run three modest places since beating the still battling maiden Avail four runs back. He has shown form at 2400m so will definitely stay the Derby trip – but may lack the class. Vaughan Marshall has three runners in the race, including what looks to be the likely pacemaker in Kemal Kavur. The son of Warm White Night was there for a long way and showed guts to run a very decent 1,30 length fourth to Black Arthur in the G3 Politician Stakes. His style of racing suggests he should not be troubled by his 12 draw and it will be interesting to see how the R1,1 million sale graduate goes over the extra 200m. Stablemate Eastern Charm is much better drawn at 3 and gets the services of stable jockey MJ Byleveld. He finished marginally behind Kemal Kavur in the Politician Stakes but should enjoy the extra here – he won a weak polytrack 2000m in PE. The third of the Marshall runners has come in through the back door of the reserve runner facility. He is the Jay Peg gelding who has won 2 of his last 5 starts – but off a

rating of 76 cannot be fancied to trouble the judge. Paddy Kuyer will be thrilled that his reserve runner Mega Secret gets a run but it is difficult seeing a tried maiden getting the better of the toprated runners in a race of this nature.

Obvious Pair

The proven highly rated Brazuca and Rabada are the obvious duo to fight this out. But Snaith’s Black Arthur has been brought along with this target in mind and ranks as a major threat. Of the rest, the poorly dawn Marinaresco could enjoy some luck, while Liege and Royal Badge could be the value runners.

Klawervlei Gr1 MAJORCA STAKES at Kenilworth on Saturday

he top rated Same Jurisdiction, like her arch rival Inara, is a dual Gr1 winner and was very fancied to win the Maine Chance Farms Paddock Stakes at her last start. The daughter of Mambo In Seattle has had three Cape runs and looked to be perfectly prepped going into that Gr1 feature. She moved up well in the final stages but her effort petered out and she ran 3.4 lengths behind Smart Call - and 1.4 lengths behind Inara, who landed up running second. Both fillies were badly drawn and Same Jurisdiction certainly had her excuses as she suffered an overreach injury in running which may have hampered her chances. She pulled up well with no visble after effects. She also looks a better bet over the 200m less that she runs on Saturday.

Star Filly

Mike Bass’ Trippi star Inara ran on powerfully in the Paddock Stakes without threatening Smart Call who beat her two lengths. This outstanding filly achieved the Paddock Majorca Stakes double in 2015 and with plenty in her favour could win this prestigious feature again . Her stablemate Lanner Falcon, a year older daughter of the same sire, won the Gr2 Diadem Stakes last time and is bang in form. She ran fifth in this race last year and is a length or two inferior to Inara over the mile.

Sean Tarry and S’manga Khumalo have had no luck with the draw for their filly Bichette. The Gr2 Camellia Stakes winner will jump on the far outside of the field and comes out of a slightly disappointing run in the Diadem, when she dropped out after showing her customary pace. Her Joburg fairwell run to Smart Call in the Gr2 Ipi Tombe Challenge over the Turffontein mile brings her in as a lively challenger at best., though.

Guineas Winner

The Gr2 KRA Fillies Guineas winner Alexis was not beaten far by Same Jurisdiction in the Gr1 Garden Province Stakes last term and should be reaching peak fitness again. She caught the eye last time out when running on well behind Eventual Angel in a Conditions Plate. Adam Marcus has two runners in the race and the better of the duo appears to be the Ideal World filly Fear Not. While very well held by Same Jurisdiction on her last run, she looks to be much better suited to the mile of this race and will also be fitter than last time. Big race rider Weichong Marwing will add plenty of value to her chances. Her stablemate Crystal Cavern has run two disappointing races after showing plenty of promise. She was unlucky in the Victress Stakes when encountering traffic problems and finishing

downfield - but had no excuses in the Paddock Stakes when running an ordinary race - the blinkers could make a difference to her.

in the Choice Carriers Championship and now goes back around the turn after two quiet sprinting efforts.

Cat Woman

Top Tart

Paul Reeves’ Var mare Sea Cat won a very nice race at Fairview at her last start, after a prolonged absence from the winner’s enclosure. On her best earlier form in this region she must have an undeniable place chance. The Australian bred Sensible Lover has not been far off in her five Cape starts but should battle at level weights with the likes of Same Jurisdiction. She also has a wide draw to overcome. Another Australian bred runner of some interest is Andre Nel’s Lohnro mare, Lohnromance, who maintained her unbeaten record with a facile victory in a lowly rated fillies handicap last time. Her dam was an out and out sprinter and it remains to be seen whether she handles the extra 400m. Mike De Kock’s Gr1 winner Entisaar makes up a trio of Australian challengers and is also one of only three 3yo’s in the race. She has failed to build on her runnerup berth to Silver Mountain

Taffety Tart ran two very commendable third places behind her illustrious stablemate Silver Mountain in the Choice Carriers Championship and Cape Fillies Guineas. It doesn’t get too much better than that in terms of post maiden performances and she could run into the money again. Her stablemate Moonlight ‘N Roses is drawn a little wider and she has her first dip in feature waters. The daughter of Captain Al will first need to show that she is capable of slugging it out at this level before she can be selected to beat the top guns. Neil Bruss’ Deputy Ryder has the best of the draw but ran a very poor race in the Paddock Stakes and cannot be fancied on current form. The Judpot filly Double Whammy has pulled a very wide draw at 15 and has tumbled down the merit ratings in losing her form in recent starts. She seemed to improve slightly in the blinkers last time and wears

Boat Race

This could be a boat race of sorts between Same Jurisdiction and Inara, and with little between them, it will go all the way down to the wire. Anton Marcus won’t be caught napping and if things go according to plan, Duncan Howells could return to Ashburton with some sought after silverware.

ctS Million dollaR at Kenilworth on Saturday

If I Were A Rich Man...

KZN challenger Exit Here has the form and the draw to win

Kenilworth Racecourse boasts the honour of hosting Africa’s richest race of all time when the hopes and dreams of the connections of sixteen 3yo’s line up to contest the CTS Million Dollar on Saturday. Besides the stress and tension that goes with the territory, the field boasts commendable quality and a spectacle of horseracing entertainment looks guaranteed.

omparisons to the Lotto are not without foundation. But one only needs one number to win this and with some good horses drawn badly, some ordinary horses drawn well and a glittering array of top trainers and jockeys, there is going to be a massive party somewhere in Cape Town on Saturday evening.

Fairer Sex

Six members of the fairer sex will line up and the honour of being the highest rated performer falls to the sensational Cape Fillies Guineas winner, Silver Mountain (111). The daughter of Silvano remains the talking horse of the Cape Summer Of Champions, even after being ‘dethroned’ when running out of puff late to finish under a length fourth to Noah From Goa in the Grand Parade Cape Guineas. The form was subsequently franked (like we needed it to be!) with Noah’s great effort in the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate and Silver Mountain is a major factorwith her good draw. Top rated of the males is dual Gr1 winner Seventh Plain (109), who ran a cracker of a prep when staying on nicely for third in the Sophomore Sprint. This will be his second crack at big money after running fourth in the Lanzeac Ready To Run Stakes over the course and distance. A bad draw again harms his prospects, but he is a talented galloper, with a great jockey in the irons.

colt that can race handily and could be concerned in the finish. Need For Speed winner Tar Heel (103) was outgunned in the Sophomore Sprint last time and is yet to show any form beyond the sprints.

Big Reputation Joey Ramsden has always spoken highly of Prince Of Thieves (102) who won a great race last time beating Purple Mountains by 3.75 lengths over the course and distance. At his penultimate start he ran one-time Met prospect Silcone Valley to a short head and with Bernard Fayd’Herbe up could be the joker in the pack. Sophomore Sprint winner Ernie (101) has shown improved form at his last start but his wide draw must be a deterrent. He is a horse that can be ridden off the pace so once again luck could play a part. The Captain Al filly Jo’s Bond (100) is very poorly drawn and has only shown sprint capabilities to date. Gr2 Selangor Cup winner Hard Day’s Night (98) was less impressive when beaten out of the money in the Cape Guineas. With Pierre Strydom up from a 2 draw, he is a horse that cannot be ignored as a winner of three races from seven starts. Weichong Marwing rides Illuminator (96) for Glen Puller and the Trippi colt looks to be perfectly distance suited after a good Guineas run, and then chasing Ernie home in the Sophomore. Lunar Approach (95) is drawn a bit wide and has his first run in Cape Town. The son of Right Approach won his last start in facile fashion and the trainerjockey combo is difficult to ignore.

Big Runner

Dream Lady

Fellow KZN challenger Exit Here (105) goes for his sixth win on the trot and with a beautiful 1 draw and one of the best ‘ready to run’ trainers in the country he must rank as a major challenger for top honours. Redcarpet Captain (104) has pulled an awful 18 draw, but the son of Captain Al has come good of late and won a facile race at his last start. He wears the blinkers again and with a bit of luck in running could grab one of the smaller dollar cheques on offer. Vaughan Marshall trained Victorious Jay (104) ran two cracking races in the Selangor and the Cape Guineas finishing just out of the money in the latter. The son of Jay Peg again has a poor draw to overcome but is a

The talented Dynasty filly A Time To Dream (95) won three on the trot, including a victory over Inara before going unplaced in the Cape Fillies Guineas. She is a difficult filly to assess but certainly looks held by Silver Mountain. The Var filly Varumba (95) has drawn on the far outside of the field and will have to improve on her best form shown to date. Dynasty’s daughter Swift Sarah (93) is a lightly raced sort and a winner of 3 of her 5 outings. Well drawn, she shows good pace but is yet to win beyond 1200m and will have to handle the lefthanded track for the first time in her career. The Querari filly Melliflora (90) is Mike Azzie’s sole representative in the race and at first glance looks to

have plenty to do at her Cape debut. Callan Murray travels from Johannesburg to ride her and local conditions know-how ae not something that either could boast about. Melliflora ran a disappointing 14,10 lengths off Negroamaro in the Fillies Mile on Summe Cup day, but did show some decent stakes place ability prior to that. Her best run was probably her Gr1 Thekwini Stakes runner-up finish as a 2yo to Lauderdale and she must have an outside place chance if adapting.

Luck The Key Purple Mountains (95), Rodney (94), Night In Tahiti (93) and Liege (93) are the reserve runners. They are all trying – the best man may not win – but the luckiest one certainly will!

The Cold Fact – Ernie…Who Else? Cape Chief Stipendiary Steward Ernie Rodrigues is the man tasked with overseeing the policing of Saturday’s CTS Million Dollar – a race that includes his namesake, Ernie – who runs for the lifechanging prize in Africa’s richest ever race. We asked Mr Rodrigues whether the Stipes would be handling the massive responsibility of ensuring fair play in this race, any differently, to a run-of-the-mill race: “There is no doubt that, given the enormous prize money on offer, the jockeys will have heightened stess levels and even greater pressure riding on their shoulders. This can lead to different reactions and anxiety in different personalities and we will be briefing the riders before the race to stress the importance of adherence to our laid-down rules. That is done in the interests of safety, but they also need to understand that the impact of a bump, for example, could have major financial implications for the affected runner. Thus they must understand that the penalties arising from any disciplinary action will be that much more serious. I am happy to say that we have a top-class bunch of generally experienced jockeys riding.” He confirmed that no additional personnel would be on duty.

Sea Cottage Stakes (Listed) at Turffontein last Saturday

‘Go Abba Go’

Abashiri (Karl Zechner) confirms his top-class potential

Mike Azzie’s impressive Listed Sea Cottage Stakes winner Abashiri looks likely to give Saturday’s Gr1 Investec Cape Derby a miss and rather target the 2016 Sascoc Triple Crown in his hometown. A galloper described as his trainer’s best since the champion National Currency, he gave his connections plenty of thrills and his supporters some nervous moments up the home straight at Turffontein on Saturday.

bashiri was one of a trio of joint toprated 3yo’s to line up for the prestigious Cape classic this coming Saturday, but with the delayed running of the Sea Cottage Stakes, the Azzman has had a rethink – and feels it is best to avoid a Cape trip this week. And Abashiri’s 16 draw no doubt played a part in the decision. Abashiri went off at 7-10 and was coming in fresh off his Dingaans third placing to

Noah From Goa. He was one of a few to play silly games in the stalls and Zechner found himself much further back than he would have wanted early on. Despite being way out of his ground coming into the home run, and looking to have a mountain to climb, the gelding quickened impressively – only to drift right across the track in the closing stages. It was a move that could have cost him in a tighter fought contest, and Azzie will

have to sort these quirks out ahead of the tougher races that lie ahead. But in the end it worked out swimmingly and Abashiri won rather easier than the 2,50 lengths margin may suggest. He clocked 110,75 secs and beat Romany Prince, with Rocketball having every chance, a futher 0,75 lengths back in third. Karl Zechner is riding at the top of his game and showed maturity as he didn’t panic when the red hot fancy was slow out of the stalls.

Swallow Stakes (Listed) at Turffontein last Saturday

It is very seldom that any jockey spoils the Striker party when the champion jockey looks to have the race in the bag. JP van der Merwe managed to do just that when he got the Mambo In Seattle filly Mambonick to rally late and come right back to win the R150 000 Listed Swallow Stakes at Turffontein on Saturday.

an der Mewe took the substitute chance offered by Anthony Delpech’s early return to KZN for the rescheduled night meeting with both hands, to give Sean Tarry yet another feature winner – after French Navy had won the Gr3 London News earlier. Tarry enjoyed the distinction of saddling the top two in the 1160m fillies event and Piere Strydom looked to have timed things perfectly as the 5-2 favourite Heaps Of Fun, runner-up to the exciting Negoamaro in the Fillies Mile, took off late and actually went past Mambonick in the final strides. But Van der Merwe wasn’t taking no for an answer, and he got his 14-1 shot mount to rally – Mambonick getting the verdict over her

stablemate by a head in a time of 67,06 secs. Heaps Of Fun, who gave the winner 2kgs, ran a cracker in the steels and should not be long in racking up her third win. Trip To India produced a decent showing, finishing only a half length off the winner. Sean Tarry saddled a treble on the day, with Callan Murray and Weiho Marwing teaming up for a late double. The Ambiance Stud-bred Mambonick is a daughter of Mambo In Seattle and is out of the unraced Var mare, Herself. A R140 000 National Yearling Sale purchase, she took her earnings to R166 375 with her second win and one place from her four starts. There are only two Mambo In Seattle fillies on this week’s Cape Premier Yearling Sale.

“I haven’t ridden a horse like this before,” said Zechner – we can interpret that the way we choose! Mike Azzie bemoaned the lack of suitable races to facilitate the preparation of a decent 3yo rated 109. “This is a very good horse – I’d say his my best since National Currency. I don’t think we will go the Cape Derby route. He is badly drawn and the race is 7 days away,” he said. Abashiri was bred by Lammerskraal Stud and is a son of Go Deputy out of the seven time winning Elliodor mare, Donya, who won from 1200m to a mile. Abashiri cost R400 000 on the National Yearling Sale

and with his second win and 2 places from 4 starts took his earnings to R252 520. On a Facebook post, owner Adriaan Van Vuuren was full of praise for all involved:

My wife Rika van Vuuren, my kids and then my horse – Abashiri, jou ‘Biscuit’. You are my one of a kind. Special thanks for all the love and support from my family and special friends and for the person who found and trained our ‘Abba’ – Michael Azzie, together with Adam and Ryan Azzie, supported the Azzie Dream Team at the Stables.

Aloe Handicap at Fairview last Friday

Cape Flyaway On The Up

Justin Snaith stepped up the 3yo Cape Flyaway beyond the sprints for the first time at Fairview on Friday and the move produced immediate results. Barend Vlooh steered the Windrush filly home to an impressive victory in the 1300m R100 000 non black-type Aloe Handicap.

ape Flyaway has been a mostly permanent resident of the Snaith PE satellite yard and her biggest recent news was her win in the International Jockeys Challenge first leg, when booted home by top UK rider, Pat Cosgrave. The move to change her game plan and switch her to poly over further was an inspired one. Not that she had suggested she wouldn’t be very competitive – having run on well when tried over either surface. With Cape raider Just Felicity going off a 7-2 favourite at her Fairview debut, the race looked particularly wide open. Martita Ridge and High Fashion were slow away as Just Felicity went out quickly to lead Silvan

Jazz and Cape Flyaway. Into the home run, Silvan Jazz continued to gallop powerfully as Cape Flyaway snuck up on her inside to deliver her challenge. In the final 200m, the race was a straight match between the top two and it was Cape Flyaway who got the better of a tight duel with Silvan Jazz to win by a half length in a time of 75,49 secs. The winner’s stablemate, a daughter of Oratorio named Bella’s Empire, came on strongly after a two month break to shade Kanara for fourth. She can be watched over slightly further next time at the races. The Cape raiding favourite Just Felicity had nothing to come and fell away to run 10,45 lengths off the winner. Brida was reported to be changing legs in running, while Thembisa returned coughing.

Winning jockey Barend Vlooh confirmed that he had sprinted Cape Flyaway up on Wednesday and that he was confident of going close. The win gave the inform Snaith team a double after the Fred Crabbia-owned Razed In Black had survived an objection from the rider of Memphis Mafia in the previous race. Cape Flyaway was bred by CW and CR Tyler and is by Windrush out of the Badger Land mare, Cape Silver. Cape Flyaway was purchased by John Freeman for what looks like a bargain R65 000 off the 2014 Emperors Palace National 2yo Sale. She has now earned a total of R186 375 in stakes with 3 wins and 5 places from 11 starts. S’manga Khumalo was the leading jockey on the afternoon, with a hat-trick of winners.

Anton Marcus guides the high class French Navy to an easy win

gr3 london newS StakeS

at Turffontein last Saturday

A small field is often a bear trap for punters and class horses but top jockey Anton Marcus had dual Gr1 winner French Navy wide awake from the jump as the son of Count Dubois ran a terrific ‘Met trial in the weather delayed R250 000 Gr3 London News Stakes.

he Turffontein Saturday 1800m feature was delayed a week following an electrical storm at the track seven days earlier. This did nothing to stop the Sean Tarry machine as French Navy pitched up in a galloping mood to show that

he boasts versatility, beyond his galloping brilliance. After Legal Eagle’s cracking win in the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate, Sean Tarry saw his Met hand strengthened dramatically – and while it has always been his intention to favour Legal Eagle to spearhead his Cape big-race attack, who knows what will

happen come Monday’s Met declarations at 11h00, as regards French Navy? The London News Stakes field was reduced to just seven runners following the scratching of French Navy’s stablemate Whiteline Fever at the start, and 50m after the gates opened, French Navy was in front.

Marcus was obviously well aware of the dangers of settling the 4yo too far back and would have been thrilled to see Flying The Flag and Master ‘N Commander go past him after 150m. French Navy was three lengths off them in third as Flying The Flag led the field for home, with Mac De Lago producing a goodlooking finish down the middle of the track. Anton Marcus set French Navy about his business at the 500m marker and the son of Count Dubois lengthened

like a class horse to run away from his field. Despite shifting slightly he was too classy and drew off to win by 2,20 lengths in a time of 110,32 secs. Killua Castle (recent conqueror of Queen’s Plate winner Legal Eagle) came out of the pack to finish best of the rest and bank the second cheque, just ahead of De Kock Met entrant, Flying The Flag. Mac De Lago’s effort petered out disappointingly and he ran fifth, 3,40 lengths behind. French Navy was bred

by Sandown Stud’s Geoff Armitage and is by Count Dubois out of the five-time winning Elliodor mare, Redoubtable. He was bought for a bargain R100 000 on the 2013 CTS Ready To Run Sale held at Durbanville and took his career earnings to an impressive R3 550 375, with 6 wins and 6 places from his 15 starts. Whether he goes for the Met, or stays at home for the season, we are bound to hear plenty yet about French Navy.

Mik�’� Meyda� Magi� Mike de Kock continued his magical Meydan run of winners when Baroot (GB) found himself in a weak Maiden field at Meydan on Saturday and won a good race over 1900m. That was after the Greys Inn colt Forries Waltz had romped home in a US110 000 Handicap just 48 hours earlier.

“Ridden by Wayne Smith, Baroot was quickly away and always stalking the early leader Stamford before shooting through a gap on the rail early in the straight. “The race was soon over as a contest with Smith’s mount opening his account at the seventh attempt and third in the UAE and winning by seven lengths. “We knew that if he stayed he would be hard to beat,” said Smith. “It was a weak race but all he could do was win and he has, in style.” Mike de Kock said: “Baroot is by Dubawi from a mare by Sadler’s Wells so there is scope for improvement in his pedigree, especially over ground, like we saw here he enjoyed the extra distance and won well. He’s a horse we”d expect to improve on his handicap rating.” Baroot is owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al

Maktoum who has enjoyed a good start to 2016 following wins by Tannaaf and Forries Waltz.

Waltz With Me

On Thursday, Forries Waltz, a son of SA-based stallion Grey’s Inn, won a keenly contested $US110,000 Handicap over a mile, just a few days after Mike de Kock had paid a compliment to his sire. “Grey’s Inn is one of the best value stallions in the land, if not the best,” Mike said earlier this week after another of the Karoo-based stallion’s top-class sons, Legal Eagle, had won last Saturday’s Gr1 Queen’s Plate for Sean Tarry’s yard. Grey’s Inn, a son of the great Zabeel, won the 2004 Gr1 Vodacom Durban July in South Africa and became one of Mike’s early international travellers. He later won the

Gr2 Dubai Gold Cup and was Gr1 placed in Dubai, Australia and Hong Kong. Forries Waltz is still a colt and Mike and owning partners Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum and Chris Gerber will be hoping he can follow in his dad’s footsteps considering that he is also closely related to recent Gr1 classic winner Noah From Goa. Forries Waltz is miles away from that still, but his Meydan win was eye-catching and courageous – his fourth win from only five career starts. There will be more than a glimmer of hope that he can build on this and make more progress during the 2016 Carnival and beyond.

Impressed

Christophe Soumillon, who partnered Forries Waltz to victory, was impressed with the fact that his mount was

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 22nd - SUNDAY 24th JANUARY 2016

able to knuckle down hard to win despite sustained pressure coming from challengers on both flanks. “This was his first start in a year and to do what he did was great. He was going easy and I was worried when I hit the front, I went a bit early, but he was genuine to the end,” Soumillon said. Mike commented: “Thanks to Christophe for a good ride and well done to him for lifting his eighth National Jockeys title in France, a true champion’s performance indeed. We are very pleased with Forries Waltz winning this race, good luck to his breeder Rennie Price of Wicklow Stud. Forries Waltz had a few good sorts behind him tonight. There are bigger races for him this Carnival, but we’d like to see more improvement.” Alareef and Mujaarib (third in respective earlier events) were other earners for the stable on the second night of the 2016 Carnival. “Al Mashooqa just didn’t enjoy the dirt track at all, she turned it up early,” Mike said about his unplaced UAE 1000 Guineas runner.”

J&B Met Final Field

Tarry Eagle Set To Soar Hollywoodbets.net priced L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate winner Legal Eagle up as a 15-10 favourite when the final field for the J&B Met was announced on Monday.

WITH a field size of 20 pemitted in terms of the race conditions, only 15 have accepted to run next Saturday, and this represents a lower than average turnout for many years. It is likely that the race conditions, which amounts to weight-forage with penalties, and which naturally favour the well-performed top horses, have scared off the genuine optimistic lucky-dippers. The official public gallops and barrier draws ceremony takes place at Kenilworth on Thursday from 7am and those arriving between that time and 8am will receive a complementary entrance ticket to the Met. This event will be broadcast live on Tellytrack (Dstv 239) from 7am. Alec Laird bids for his second Met victory after London News’ big win 19 years ago, and saddles the only filly in the race in the Paddock Stakes winner, Smart Call, priced at 10-1. Justin Snaith saddles last year’s winner Futura and the top-class Legislate, but also sends out Krambambuli, the outsider of the event at 125-1. See the betting on www.hollywoodbets.net 1

Mission Accomplished!

Flobayou became the first horse in history to complete a double hattrick of the Western Province’s major sprints when he captured the Cape Flying Championship on Saturday, 20 January.

he smashing five-year-old has now captured all of the Merchants, Diadem, and Flying Championship two seasons in succession and chances are that a Martian will be in the White House before that happens again. There were fears that Flobayou’s abortive attempt at a mile in the Queen’s Plate might have taken some of the edge off his speed, but bookmakers didn’t place too much store in that theory and Flobayou went postward as a 6/10 favourite. Not that you can blame the bookmakers – Eric Sands’ charge has proven time and again that he has no peer when racing over a straight course and the Weight For Age terms of the 1000m Cape Flying Championship made him a certainty on paper. That the race was run at Kenilworth instead of its traditional home at Milnerton wasn’t expected to make a jot of difference either. After all, both the Diadem and the Merchants have their home at Kenilworth and Flobayou has been as well-nigh unbeatable at Kenilworth as over any other course that doesn’t involve taking corners. Flobayou, ridden as ever by Karl Neisius, bided his time in fourth place as Prospectors Strike set a brisk pace into the wind, with Night Duty and Bold Thatch closest to him. Prospectors Strike was hanging tough well into the last 200m, as Night Duty faded and Bold Thatch struggled to get on terms. Yet, inevitably, once Flobayou was asked to go the race was over. He simply sailed past prospectors Strike in the last 75m, going on to beat the frontrunner by over a length, with Bold Thatch third and Discover Diamonds fourth. Any ideas that Young Harvest could repeat the performance which saw him beat Flobayou in the Gilbey’s Stakes last June died an early death,

with Ricky Maingard’s runner dropping off the pace and showing no sign of ever getting into contention. Which, considering he was 4kgs worse off with Flobayou than had been the case at Scottsville, was really all too predictable. If Senor Santa was the best South African-bred sprinter of the last decade (and most pundits would say he was), then Sir Robert Bellinger’s Flobayou must be the numero uno pretender to that crown. Let’s face it, he has proven his superiority over gallant old Taban so many times that their shared ARCSA Sprinters’ award last season was a triumph of sentiment over logic, and nothing else. Knowing how good a sprinter Taban is, and for how long he has been around, that perhaps is the greatest compliment that anybody can pay to Flobayou. The gelded son of Waterville Lake has established his class time and time again, and any aspirants to the sprinters’ crown are going to have to do some serious running to wrest from his grasp the ARCSA Award which should already have been all his own once already.

In For A Dollar… The Arc-En-Ciel Paddock Stakes is called the one race every breeder wants to win. If that is the case, then Dollar Fortune must be just about the perfect horse to win it with. She’s always been close to the best of her sex, and she lacks nothing for pedigree. Her newly acquired status of Gr1 winner must put the four-year-old on the ‘want-to-own’ list of every breeder not quite ready for the big men in white jackets! Some would say that anybody who wants to breed horses should be locked up straightaway, but that’s another story. The 1800m Paddock Stakes on 20 January certainly had an open look to it. La Favourite lived up to her name and headed the market, but three-year-

old Slew Per Signal had plenty of supporters and there was no lack of enthusiasm for the chances of Mike Bass charge Dollar Fortune, either. The early pace looked solid, with Gushing the first to show before dropping back into third as Dollar Fortune’s stable companion Born Wonderful showed the way to Slew Per Signal. Both La Favourite and the eventual winner were content to bide their time somewhere around midfield. Those waiting tactics looked to have misfired when Slew per signal took over at the 400m. Mike Airey’s filly easily opened up a lead of a couple of lengths and appeared to have poached an unassailable lead. The daughter of Slewpendous was still comfortably ahead with 150m to go, but Dollar Fortune found galloping space against the inside rail and set off in pursuit. She responded really well to the typically unflustered urgings of jockey Gavin Howes, catching her younger rival inside the final 75m and going on to win by a widening neck. La Favourite ran on nicely for third without ever looking a winner, with Joyous Dancer coming from the outside draw in a 20-strong field to grab fourth.

A Mare In A Million Harry & Bridget Oppen-heimer Harry & Bridget Oppenheimer That racing can be the cruellest of games is no secret to anybody’s who’s ever had a thing to do with it. Don’t take my word for it – ask no less a personage than Harry Oppenheimer.

Those of us who have been around for a while remember the days when the Oppenheimer’s Mauritzfontein Stud simply churned out top class horses, almost at will. One top race after another, including three July Handicaps between 1959 and 1975, fell to homebreds racing in the famous black-and-yellow silks. The conveyor belt that was Mauritzfontein Stud began to falter when such disappointing stallion importations as first Ribofilio and later Be Glorious failed dismally to follow in the footsteps of successful Oppenheimer stallions like Wilwyn, Janus and Free Ride. One broodmare who could almost by herself have helped to lift Mauritzfontein back into the limelight was Golden Thatch’s unraced daughter, Special Felice. Mr Oppenheimer acquired Special Felice for R120 000 at the Peter Fenix dispersal sale in 1993, when she was in foal to Main Man. Just for good measure, he also paid R80,000 for her weanling colt by Model Man. He would have got a bargain – except that Special Felice died at the age of seven, her then unborn Main Man foal destined to be her last. Just what has been lost to Mauritzfontein Stud will become obvious when you look at Special Felice’s record at stud. She produced a foal in every year from 1989 to 1993 – a total of five sons and daughters. Their names? Golden Man, Prince Of War, Bold Thatch, Model Gold, and Special Day. Golden Man (by Main Man) is a former winner of the Gr2 SA Nursery; Prince Of War (Plugged Nickle) is a winner

of the Gr2 Durban Merchants and placed second in the Gr1 Queen’s Plate; Bold Thatch (National Assembly) has been placed in three Graded races this season and is one of the best sprinters in training; Model Gold (Model Man) won his Kenilworth debut race in grand style on 2 December and has his next start at the same venue on J&B Met day. And the last in the line, Golden Man’s juvenile full sister Special Day, led from start to finish to win at the first time of asking at Kenilworth on 20 January. At odds of 5/10 and by six lengths! It can safely be said that the late (and much lamented) Special Felice left behind a record at stud that only a few very select broodmares can ever match. The Oppenheimers were robbed of the opportunity to mate her with their exciting young stallion prospect Fort Wood, a pedigree that had the potential on paper to produce almost anything just this side of atomic, but they are bound to have plenty of fun with the once-raced pair of Model Gold and Special Day. Both horses are clearly above average and, while Model Gold is a gelding, Special Day at least can eventually retire to Mauritzfontein and hopefully carry on where her mother left off. All of which also proved yet again what a smashing sire of broodmares Golden Thatch is proving to be. In case you forget, he’s also the maternal grandsire of Argus Guineas winner, Ashtontown.

WAYNE MARKS

Gr2 SCEPTRE STAKES at Kenilworth last Saturday

Trainer Glen Kotzen is enjoying a deserved Cape Summer Of Champions purple patch and picked up his second Gr2 win in the space of seven days, when the smart 3yo Captain Al filly Princess Royal finished powerfully to win the R400 000 Gr2 Sceptre Stakes at Kenilworth on Saturday.

he Paarl-based Kotzen showed the benefit of an assertive decision following his charge’s low-key Choice Carriers Championship performance to package earlier hopes that Princess Royal would go further than the sprints – and together with the comforting presence of the 22 year old Argosy gelding , Ghostly Galleon to accompany her to the start, her biggest win to date was a team plan come together. In a small but high quality field that included two Gr1 winners, the slightly quirky Princess Royal was allowed to start at generous odds of 8-1, as the previously consistent Sean Tarry speed queen Carry On Alice was a banker for many and jumped at 9-10. The Listed East Cape Nursery winner,

and runner-up to Entisaar in the Gr1 Alan Robertson Championship last term, the halfsister to champion Princess Victoria (Victory Moon) has always been highly regarded, but her nervous disposition has tended to cost her valuable energy. Enter horse behaviouralist Malan du Toit and the former Kotzen sprinting star Ghostly Galleon, and things panned out very differently on Saturday. Riding his first Gr2 winner, jockey Anthony Andrews, the Kotzens’ long-time Sorrento Stud neighbour, displayed nerves of steel, riding a balanced race as the line loomed nervously for the biggest win of his career so far. Andrews, who got the chance in the absence of the injured Greg Cheyne, had Princess Royal settled in third as KZN challenger

Cosmic Light tore off under Muzi Yeni to lead Champery. With the fancied runners outpaced early, Princess Royal came forward strongly to challenge Cosmic Light at the 300m and after the two exchanged blows for 50m, Cosmic Light appeared to hang out as the Kotzen flyer ran straight as an arrow to the line. Princess Royal put her head down and grabbed the verdict by a rather convincing half length in a time of 72,21 secs. Yeni, while patently beaten, appeared to stop riding Cosmic Light in the latter stages and he was very lucky that he was not nabbed by a flying Cuvee Brut, unsighted down his inside. Carry On Alice made up some ground but faded late to run out of the money. The Choice Carriers- sponsored Anthony Andrews was over the moon:

“She jumped smartly and when I asked her she quickened readily all the way to the line. If it was a maiden race I would have thought I had it won at the 400m! Big thanks are due to Mr (Greg) Cheyne and Malan du Toit – she didn’t run her race before the start and it made all the difference.” Trainer Glen Kotzen was the mastermind of the return to glory of the scopy filly, but seemed quite embarrassed about the ‘rough look’ of the veteran companion, Ghostly Galleon. “I am glad we brought Ghostly Galleon out of retirement. He doesn’t look like much but he is a real star. Well done to Anthony Andrews too – he rode a confident race. A great team effort,” he said. Justin Vermaak, representing partowners and breeders Maine

Chance Farms, said that Princess Royal was now showing her true ability – and just ‘getting over her quirks’. ”Well done to Glen Kotzen and Anthony Andrews – and to Andreas (Jacobs), who is in the country,” he said. Part-owner Georgina Jaffee,a member of one of South Afica’s foremost horseracing families of the past few decades, said that her late Mother Jean always used to say that temperament was the key to a good horse. Princess Royal has won 3 of her 9 starts with 4 places for stakes of R561 875. She was bred by her part owners Maine Chance Farms and is a daughter of Captain Al out of the Rakeen mare, Platinum Princess. Her half-sister, Equus champion race filly Princess Victoria was also trained by the Kotzens.

JAMAICA HANDICAP (Listed) at Kenilworth last Saturday

Drier’s Famous Double

Trainer Dennis Drier and his Jet Master mare Gathering Fame registered a unique winning double in the R150 000 Listed Jamaica Handicap at Kenilworth on Saturday, when Aldo Domeyer piloted the Lammerskraal Stud-bred to a smooth victory.

e have said it before – it has not been a vintage season for the visiting Drier attack but back in the blinkers, Gathering Fame showed her appreciation for the Summer Course 2000m and repeated her feat of a year ago in the same race.

It is hard to believe that it has been 12 months since Gathering Fame has visited the winner’s enclosure, but with a favourable 2 draw and the headgear back on, plenty pointed to a big run from her. Elusive Wave, one of four runners from the Brett Crawford yard, carted the field along at a decent clip, followed by Indaba and Masked Lady. Aldo Domeyer had Gathering Fame relaxed in

midfield around the turn. In the charge for home there were plenty who looked to have a chance, but none was moving better than Gathering Fame, who coasted through on the inside and looked to have it in the bag at the 300m marker. With Morning Light coming out of the pack to chase her home, it was left to Glen Kotzen’s Jeweller’s Joy to pick up some deserved small black type in third. Gathering Fame clocked 126,65 secs for the 2000m and held Morning Light to 1,75 lengths. Harvard Crimson moved

through and looked dangerous under replacement jockey Craig Du Plooy, but could offer little extra late and ran into fourth. The weak 11-2 favourite Speedy Chestnut never showed and ran downfield. It was a race of mixed emotions for the Drier yard, with the winner’s stablemate Pecan Nut trailed off in last. Winning jockey Aldo Domeyer said that they had gone ‘a nice gallop’. “She was always in a good position. We were cantering up to the 400m and it was a matter of just finding a gap. I can’t take much credit for the win. She did

it all herself,” he said modestly. Trainer Dennis Drier said that Gathering Fame has been ‘a nightmare’ in terms of her behaviour. “She is a hot filly. I decided to put the blinkers back on and asked the Stipes if she could go out early. It certainly did the trick,” he said. The Lammerskraal bred Gathering Fame races for owner Mike Rattray and is a 5yo daughter of Jet Master out of the three-time winning Western Winter mare, Googol. She has now won 4 races with 4 places from 13 starts with stakes of R325 125.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 22nd - SUNDAY 24th JANUARY 2016

The Ghost Of Aldric In an ironic twist of timing, the 6yo Jallad gelding Aldric came up at 40-1 to spook punters at Scottsville on Sunday – just 48 hours after publication of a National Horseracing Authority notice about his disqualification following a caffeine positive.

Imagine doctoring the roulette wheel at a casino? RVL has an integrity department that spends all it’s time looking for underworld figures and crooks trying to fix races. They are, in the main, looking for the Loch Ness monster. Right in front of them is the biggest integrity issue imaginable, writes Peter Lawrence. Q: What do the Epsom day at Randwick and last Saturday’s Magic Millions Day have in common, asks Peter Lawrence. A: Three things. One, the punters absolutely smashed the bookies with favourites dominating most races. Two, both meetings were held on FAST surfaces with fast times recorded and track records established. Three, contrary to established “wisdom”, which has no basis in fact, at neither meeting did a plethora of horses “jar up” from the firm ground. In fact, with huge fields on Saturday at the Gold Coast, only two horses were reported to be lame, and both those horses bucked after the start and were retired from their events. Clearly the lameness had nothing to do with the track surface, but with some underlying problem. (I could say four, the wet weather early in the week meant the course curator stayed in his shed and let God prepare the track!) Apart from the astronomical costs of continuous watering of racetracks, there is a massive integrity issue involved with the never ending tinkering of racetrack surfaces. At the Gold Coast, the track was officially good. The open handicap ran 1:20.43 for the 1400m. A course record of 1:01.74 was set for the 1100m sprint. Every day of the week in Victoria, tracks are designated as good and 1400m races often fail to break 1:25, a difference of about thirty lengths. Both surfaces cannot be good (3), so someone is telling porkies. Punters make this industry go round, yet they are sold a pup every day by misleading track assessments. This cannot be good for betting turnover.

RVL does so much right with Victorian racing but its track preparation policy and directives are a blight on Australian racing. The same can be said for TRSA, with Adelaide racing almost always conducted on dead ground, with biases aplenty. Since Jason Kerr was roundly criticised for presenting Caulfield “too firm” in the early part of the spring – another day where all the favourites won – Victorian racing has been plagued with consistently biased tracks, both midweek and on Saturdays. At virtually every midweek provincial meeting in Victoria, the fence is totally off. Surely, that is a major integrity issue. The Saturday metro meetings have fared no better. Starting with Cox Plate eve, where the fence was off, to Cox Plate day, where the fence was a one lane super highway, to a repeat one lane super highway on Derby Day, the list has been never ending over the summer months. The incessant watering, at huge financial cost, has resulted in virtually every Saturday metro race meeting being run on a severely biased track. Last week at Moonee Valley, all punters who value the form were left gobsmacked when course curator Marty Synan declared on race morning, ” I am just about to put five mils on it!!” Watering the track on race day??? Guess what happened. If you came further than four off the fence, you were history and favourite punters were left with tickets on horses who may have well not turned up. At a previous Moonee Valley Saturday meeting, trainer John Sadler instructed his apprentice rider to lead but sit five wide all the way, over 1500m! Amazingly, the horse led,

out five and six wide and won! There had been no rain and the track was officially, you guessed it, a good (3). Imagine if Synan was in charge of the roulette wheels at Crown Casino and produced them one Saturday night where only numbers 1-12 could come up? Casino bosses understand that for punters to bet, they need to know everything is above board. Somehow, RVL has missed this critical point. If the powers that be actually owned the race clubs and were paid according to betting turnover, it would be genuine good (3) tracks every day. Not rubbish dead tracks parading as good by a sleight of hand. Punters love good tracks to bet on, where the best horse wins. Not rain affected rubbish where the favourite misses a place because he drew the rails! The people who love water-affected tracks are the intelligencia of race clubs who believe, without any corroborating evidence, that it is best for horses to race on tracks with significant “give.” The other people who love it, are the trainers of horses other than the favourite, because they know their chances are improved the more random things become. RVL has an integrity department that spends all it’s time looking for underworld figures and crooks trying to fix races. They are, in the main, looking for the Loch Ness monster. Right in front of them is the biggest integrity issue imaginable. The doctoring of the playing surface that produces random results and unfairly penalises horses, depending on where they draw. It is a crime, but nobody is watching. www.racenet.com.au

It’s Official: Judges Erred With Zim Result The National Horseracing Authority confirms that the investigation into the result of Race 5 at Borrowdale Racecourse on 17 January 2016 has been completed. It was established that the official result given by the Judges on duty was incorrect and in fact this race was won by No. 4 PRINT THE POUNDS and not No .1 EURAKILON.

For statistical purposes the result of this Race is amended to: 1st Print The Pounds (No 4) 2nd Eurakilon (No 1) 3rd Rock The Country (No 3) 4th Tallie Two (No 7) 5th Gentle Brook (No 5) The provisions of Rule 65.8 will be applied. 65.8 Should it be proved after the ALL CLEAR has been announced that there was

an error in the placings declared by the judge, the result shall stand save for the fact that the error shall be corrected for statistical purposes. Where such correction affects stake money such money shall be returned to the RACING OPERATOR for re-distribution. The National Horseracing Authority regrets the error. An internal Inquiry has been opened into this matter.

t an Inquiry finalised in Durban on 13 November 2015, Aldric’s traine James Goodman was found guilty of a contravention of Rule 73.2.4 in that he was the Trainer of the horse Aldric from which a urine specimen was taken after it had participated in the 2nd race at Greyville Racecourse Scottsville on 10 October 2014. The specimen disclosed upon analysis, the presence of Caffeine, a prohibited substance in terms of the NHA rules. The Board indicated to Mr Goodman at that time that detailed and full reasons for this finding would be furnished as well as its decision in regard to the penalty to be imposed. A lengthy judgment has been prepared by

the Board and delivered to the NHA and to Mr Goodman on 12 January 2016. As appears from the judgment, the Board imposed a fine of R80 000 and in addition, acting in terms of Rules 84.6 and 75.12, ordered Mr Goodman to pay costs incurred by the NHA in an amount of R45 500. Furthermore, in terms of Rule 72.3.2 ALDRIC is disqualified from the race and the provisions of Rule 67.7.8 shall have application. The reasons for the finding and for the penalty and costs imposed are set out in detail in the judgment referred to above. The judgment also sets out the reasons why it took so long for the inquiry proceedings to reach their conclusion. A copy of the judgement is available on: http://www.sportingpost.co.za/2016/01/nhajames-goodman-guilty-nha-goodman-guilty/

Goodman Conduct – Inquiry Board Error? Let me start off by saying that I do not condone the conduct of Mr Goodman. There is no doubt that most, if not all of the criticisms of the Inquiry Board regarding the conduct of Mr Goodman are justified. Despite this, I am bothered by the Inquiry Board’s reasoning for imposing an R80k penalty. The Inquiry Board states, amongst other things that:“…Having considered the Guidelines, and having considered the factors relevant to mitigation (or otherwise), the Inquiry Board is of the unanimous view that, in view of the manner in which these proceedings have been delayed and conducted, and having regard to the expense to which the NHA has been put in consequence of Mr Goodman’s obstructive attitude throughout the same, it is appropriate that a penalty be imposed of a fine in the sum of R80,000.00…..” I see it as follows: When imposing the fine for a breach of the rules, the Inquiry Board should not have concerned itself with and placed any emphasis on Mr Goodman’s conduct during the Inquiry proceedings. Put another way, the penalty imposed of R80k should ONLY have related to the breach of the relevant rule and not to factors which are extraneous to the breach. Mr Goodman received an additional penalty by the Inquiry Board invoking Rule 84.6. This rule states that the Inquiry Board may direct that all or portion of the actual costs and expenses incurred by the NHA in connection with the Inquiry proceedings shall be paid by such person or persons as it may deem fit and the amount determined shall be final and binding on the person or persons concerned. What is interesting, is that:• in terms of rule 82.3.3 – There shall be

no appeal against any penalty, decision or finding of the Prohibited Substance Inquiry Board. • rule 92 states that – When a horse is disqualified in terms of the rules, the provisions of rule 67.7.8 regarding monies and prizes shall apply, mutatis mutandis. Did the NHA and Gold Circle act in terms of the rules and ensure all the monies were repaid and if not has the relevant person/s been placed on the defaulters list? See rule 67.7.8 below. “67.7.8 PROCEDURE FOR STAKE MONEY 67.7.8.1 Where the stake money or prize money has been paid over prior to the lodging of an OBJECTION and an OBJECTION is subsequently lodged and upheld, such stake money or prize, together with the prescribed fees and percentages paid to the TRAINER and RIDER of such HORSE shall be returned to the RACING OPERATOR concerned within 5 DAYS after the decision on the OBJECTION, and shall be redistributed to the appropriate PERSONS. 67.7.8.2 Should any or all of the monies referred to in RULE 67.7.8.1 not be returned to the RACING OPERATOR as provided for therein, the RACING OPERATOR shall make up the shortfall and shall distribute the equivalent monies to the PERSONS ultimately declared to be entitled to such monies or prize and no PERSON or individual shall have any claim or remedy against the NATIONAL HORSERACING AUTHORITY in this regard. The RACING OPERATOR shall notify the CHIEF EXECUTIVE of the name of any PERSON in default and such name shall be placed on the DEFAULTERS’ LIST” Brett Maselle Via www.sportingpost.co.za comments

Borrowdale Judge In For High Jump… While Hollywood Punters Print The Pounds IN typical client friendly market leader fashion, South Africa’s premier Bookmaker Hollywoodbets will be paying out backers of the top two finishers of the controversy riddled Borrowdale Park fifth race on Sunday. Despite clearly finishing in second, Eurakilon (1) was declared the winner at 28-10. The result was official, and Hollywoodbets paid out on this result. The National Horseracing Authority have announced an investigation into the official result. An inspection of the photo and mirror image reveals that, but for any objections, Print The Pounds (4) at 6-1 should have been declared the winner. In an extraordinary gesture of goodwill, Hollywoodbets have made the decision to pay

out on all fixed odds winning bets on Print The Pounds too. They were crediting accounts where fixed odds bets were taken on Print The Pounds and that process should have been completed on Monday morning. All payouts on Eurakilon will stand and all exotic and tote payouts will also stand. “We are currently contacting our branches, who, on presentation of tickets on Print The Pounds, will pay out. Unfortunately if there is no ticket, we will not be able to pay out,” said a spokesman for the group. Martin Ball of the National Horseracing Authority of SA, who was on duty on Sunday, kindly provided the Sporting Post with a copy of the official photo-finish.

Bid To Oust Breeders?

Zayat Stables’ American Pharoah reigns supreme

Breeders countrywide have expressed concern that the National Horseracing Authority, who are the regulatory body for the sector and the keeper of the stud book, have put plans in place to remove their board representation.

n a recent letter addressed to breeders, BSA Chairlady Susan Rowett points out that a Special General Meeting of the NHA which was scheduled for Wednesday 20 January could have serious consequences for the breeding community. Mrs Rowett writes: The existing constitution ensures that various sections of members of the NHA are all represented on the board of directors – thus there is a director from amongst the breeder members and there are directors from each of the racing districts (Gauteng, KZN, Eastern Cape, Western Cape). The proposed changes safeguards some measure of regional representation by racing district – albeit slightly reduced in that the racing regions are now defined by operator instead of geographically (so Gauteng and Eastern Cape are now joined), but does away with any representative of the breeder section of its membership. This means that if the proposed changes are adopted at the SGM, the breeding industry will have no voice on the board of the entity that not only is the regulator the racing industry on which breeders depend, but is also the Keeper of the Stud Book. This is the very situation that Australian breeders have found themselves in and this was brought up by the Australian TBA at the recent meeting of the International Thoroughbred Breeders Federation. As a result of various mergers in Australia, the TBA there now have no representation on the newly-formed Racing Australia – the regulator of racing and the keeper of the stud book. The ITBF unanimously supported the motion that breeders should seek to retain representation on the Stud Book and Racing authorities of their countries.

Conflicts

From the Explanatory Memorandum circulated with the papers, it is clear that these proposed changes are as a result of engagements with operators following funding conflicts. The Memorandum explains that “the funding of the NHA has become a cause of increasing tension” and that “conflicts of interest have proved difficult to manage” with the result that “the conflicts are compromising the ability of the board of the NHA to conduct its affairs”. It also states that “the election process relevant to the election of Board members is functioning unsatisfactorily”. The Memorandum goes on to conclude that “following engagements with the Racing Operators, it has been agreed to propose amendments to the Constitution which, in summary – Do away with the entitlement of the Racing Operators, Racing Association and the TBA to nominate members to the Board; – Establishes a nominations committee which will, henceforth, nominate members to the Board.”

No Surrender

As much as breeders want to support these efforts to achieve a well run NHA, with its board freed of conflict of interests by operators, it is simply not in our best interests to surrender our representation at board level. We, the breeders, are a section of the membership of the NHA and we have as much right to representation as the other sections of members. Just as the proposed constitution preserves the right of representation by members in each racing region, so it should for breeder members. In this way the specific interests of all members are covered at Board level. All that would be needed would be for the proposed Nominations Committee to be required to appoint one director who is a breeder to represent breeders interests. The TBA Council, on behalf of breeders whose interests it represents, have clearly stated to the NHA Board that the breeders want their interests as breeders to be respected with continued representation on the Board of the NHA. Clearly the NHA board ruled against this and the proposed constitution excludes the breeders.

Cast A Vote

However it is for the members to decide on the constitution (regardless of the operators who are not members), and so the proposal has to be brought before a SGM of members and so we can have our say by casting our votes. Regrettably the agenda for the SGM and the proxy forms were drafted in such as way as precludes the members from deciding themselves on how the board should be made up – ie the requirements on how the nominations select their appointments to the board. Accordingly , we need to vote NO to the whole proposal and push for a re-drafted proposal, which would include representation by all sections of members, to be re-submitted to the members at a reconvened SGM as soon as possible. Please give this matter your urgent and utmost consideration. If you cannot attend the SGM on Wednesday 20th January, it is hoped that your proxy was submitted before the deadline of 14h30 on this past Monday 18January. In assigning your proxy, please be mindful of the restriction that no member can hold more than 20 proxies.

Saturday night amounted to a big one both for Triple Crown hero American Pharoah and his connections, who took five of six Eclipse Awards for which they were nominated. he full list of 2015 champions announced during a ceremony at South Florida’s Gulfstream Park:

Horse of the Year: American Pharoah There’s no arguing this selection. Before his Triple Crown sweep and Breeders’ Cup Classic victory, the colt flashed brilliance after a layoff of five-plus months, winning Oaklawn Park’s Rebel Stakes and Arkansas Derby with ease ahead of the first Saturday in May. Finalists (first-place votes) – American Pharoah (261). Older Dirt Male: Honor Code A winner at the Grade I level in Florida and New York last year, the Shug McGaugheytrained son of A.P. Indy had a knack for coming from off the pace to score wins in some of the country’s top races, among them against a loaded field in the Met Mile. Finalists (first-place votes) – Honor Code (126); Liam’s Map (95); Tonalist (14). Older Dirt Female: Beholder Shipping to Kentucky irritated the mare, enough to make her sick, and so a try at the Breeders’ Cup Classic was called off. But Beholder had already proven herself by posting a 5-for-5 campaign, including a win over the boys in the Grade I Pacific Classic. Finalists (first-place votes) – Beholder (256); Stopchargingmaria (4); Sheer Drama (1). Three-Year-Old Male: American Pharoah Need we say more? Finalists (first-place votes) – American Pharoah (261). Three-Year-Old Filly: Stellar Wind The Kentucky Oaks favourite ran fourth under the Twin Spires, but otherwise this John Sadler trainee was nearly unbeatable at 3. Stellar Wind, by Curlin, won all four of her starts on the west

coast and finished second in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff. Finalists (first-place votes) – Stellar Wind (108); I’m a Chatterbox (47); Found (46). Two-Year-Old Male: Nyquist The Doug O’Neill trainee got the ball rolling early for first-crop sire Uncle Mo, then lived up to his lineage in rallying to win the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. The undefeated colt is unbeaten in five starts, three of them Grade Is. Finalists (first-place votes) – Nyquist (255); Mohaymen (3) Two-Year-Old Filly: Songbird This horse could be the best of the current 3-year-old crop, evidenced by her romp in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies. The daughter of Medaglia d’Oro cruised to a 5 3/4-length win, the fourth in a row to start Songbird’s career. Finalists (first-place votes) – Songbird (260); Catch a Glimpse (1). Male Turf Horse: Big Blue Kitten Ken Ramsey’s homebred son of Kitten’s Joy hit the board in each of his starts as a 7 year old, reaching peaks in the campaign with wins in Monmouth Park’s Grade I United Nations and Belmont’s Grade I Joe Hirsch Turf Classic. Finalists (first-place votes) – Big Blue Kitten (134); Golden Horn (63); The Pizza Man (41). Female Turf Horse: Tepin The first Eclipse Award winner for trainer Mark Casse, the mare lost just twice in seven starts last year, both those at more than her preferred distance at Saratoga. Tepin bounced back to win Keeneland’s Grade I First Lady before topping males in the Breeders’ Cup Mile. Finalists (first-place votes) – Tepin (211); Found (38); Stephanie’s Kitten (8). Male Sprinter: Runhappy The Super Saver colt’s campaign came to a controversial end, with a change in trainers from Maria

Borell to Laura Wohlers, sister-in-law of owner James McIngvale. Runhappy locked this honor up despite the drama winning five straight in 2015, among them the Breeders’ Cup Sprint. Finalists (first-place votes) – Runhappy (255), Private Zone (2); Rock Fall (2). Female Sprinter: La Verdad Victories in five of eight starts by the mare during her 5-year-old campaign won the Linda Rice trainee her division. While a runnerup to Wavell Avenue in the Breeders’ Cup Fully and Mare Sprint, La Verdad has already bounced back in 2016 with a stakes win. Finalists (first-place votes) – La Verdad (98); Wavell Avenue (90); Lady Shipman (41). Steeplechase Horse: Dawalan Once brought to the United States, a 5 year old that ran 16th and 15th, respectively, in his final starts overseas excelled. Dawalan closed his season with back-to-back Grade I wins, first in Fair Hills’ Grand National Hurdle Stakes before the Colonial Cup Stakes at Camden. Finalists (first-place votes) – Dawalan (165); Bob Le Beau (47); African Oil (2).

The Eclipse Awards were created by three independent bodies in 1971 to honour the champions of the sport. Although widely viewed as a national standard, they are not an official national award as Thoroughbred racing in the United States has no sport governing body. The Eclipse Awards are sponsored by the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA), Daily Racing Form and the National Turf Writers Association who select all finalists at the end of the year.

Gr1 Majorca Stakes

The Gr1 Majorca Stakes is one of the most important weight-for-age races for fillies and mares on the racing calendar, and will be sponsored for the sixth year by leading breeders, Klawervlei Stud, an institution with close ties to the race.

he Majorca Stakes is one of the few Gr1 events for fillies and mares and thus a vitally important credit for breeders. It is also fitting, from a historical perspective, that Klawervlei sponsor the race since it is named after the champion filly Majorca

who was bred at Klawervlei by Ralph Koster. With Mike Bass’s Trippi filly Inara bidding to win the race for the second year running, it is worth mentioning that the last filly to achieve this extraordinary achievement was The D Cohen & Sons bred Fine Edge filly Donatella, who won the race in 1999 and 2000, for trainer Clodagh Shaw.

Legendary trainer Terrance Millard won the Majorca seven times, and interestingly, also celebrated a double. That was with the Peacable Kingdom filly Fast Piece who won the race in 1976 and 1977. Millard’s first winner was Kentucky Belle in 1972 and he rounded off a golden era with Olympic Duel in 1990.

What A Beauty

The brilliant Equus champion Beach Beauty, now retired at Drakenstein Stud, is probably the most celebrated of recent winners, and like Inara, won the Paddock Stakes – Majorca double. The daughter of Dynasty was a five time Gr1 winner and one of the greatest horses ever trained by Dennis Drier. And memories go back to 1997, when just

Gr1 Cape Derby Top Seller takes the 2011 Cape Derby

one week after Koster Brosbred London News captured the J&B Met, another product of their Cheveley Stud came to light when Roman Fantasy scrambled home a narrow winner of the Majorca Stakes over 1600m at Kenilworth. No real surprises there, for the Ceres-based Cheveley Stud was long established as one of the biggest and most successful in the business. Her new-found status as a (then) Gr2 winner, when allied to her pedigree, made the Wilfred and Shirley Kosterowned Roman Fantasy the envy of any breeder. A daughter of Complete Warrior, surely one of the most consistently successful stallions around at the time, she was out of the Northern Drive mare Via Appia and was therefore a half sister to multiple Gr1 winning filly Vesta.

Cape Derby Honour Roll 1997 - 2015

A guage of the enduring quality of the Gr1 Investec Cape Derby is evident in next Saturday’s Gr1 J&B Met line-up. Former SA Horse Of The Year Legislate beat Captain America to win the 2014 Cape Derby and the two will square up in the Cape’s big one.

he great race that we know today as the Gr1 Investec Cape Derby has a long and glorious history in South African racing. First run as the Western Province Derby in 1925 over 1800m for a stake of £600, including £200 donated by the Jockey Club of SA, it was won by the filly Desert Born on the 7th March. Since then it has been run over different distances and at two racetracks. It was renamed the Cape of Good Hope Derby in 1946 and run at Kenilworth over a mile and a half. The race returned to Kenilworth in 1949 and has stayed there ever since, writes John Freeman. It was the richest race ever staged in South Africa during its formative years.

Only twice in history has the Derby not been run due to occurrence of Equine flu outbreaks and in 1987 the race date was postponed to later in the season when it was won by future champion Mark Anthony and in 2004 the race was abandoned entirely. Despite the inaugural running being won by a filly, the Derby has not been kind to fillies since then. Just 3 members of the weaker sex have won the race in the last 50 years – Green Lass, Taima Bluff and Dog Wood. The are no fillies in Saturday’s field. In 1979 the race was run for the first time over Saturday’s trip of 2000m. Bold Tropic won over the new distance and by the widest margin ever recorded – 8 ½ lengths, thus proving Sir Mordaunt, protagonist of

the shorter trip, right in that it would stimulate better racing. He was subsequently sold for a record price to USA where he continued his winning ways. Present day champion sire Dynasty (2003) the fastest winner in over 20 years and Jay Peg winner in 2007 are the two brightest lights of the modern era. Drawn wide. the outstanding Dynasty won the race by 3 ¼ lengths as a precursor to his epic making victory in the July where he achieved the impossible – winning from draw 20. Two of his sons have won the race – Jackson and Legislate – and he has two representatives on Saturday in Liege and It’s My Turn. Dynasty retired to stud and has become one of South Africa’s foremost sires.

SA Feature Races Downgraded

THE National Horseracing Authority has taken a decision to downgrade four races from Grade 1 to Grade 2. The races to be downgraded in 2016 are: • Golden Horseshoe • Golden Slipper • SA Oaks • Gold Cup The downgrading of these races followed a recommendation from the Graded Races Committee. The Graded Races Committee had received a letter from the Asian Pattern Committee expressing concern that the number of Grade 1 races in South Africa was excessive compared to other countries. The Asian Pattern Committee has in fact suggested that ideally South Africa should have no more than 25 Grade 1 races and against this background, the Graded Races Committee has agreed to aggressively review all of South Africa’s Grade 1 races over the next few years. The down grading of the aforementioned races is the first phase of this process. In 2011 South Africa agreed to comply with the Ground Rules of the Asian Pattern Committee. In terms of the Ground Rules all races must justify their grading by the quality of its runners. The quality of the field is assessed primarily by the annual race ratings of the first four placed horses over a three year period. The Asian Pattern Committee also expressed concern that a number of South African Grade 1 races did not measure up to the international standards. In recommending that the Golden Horseshoe and the Golden Slipper be downgraded, the Graded Races Committee was of the view that the number of Grade 1 races for 2-year-olds was excessive. These races had also not measured up to the international standards over the past years. The S A Oaks and the Gold Cup also fell short of the international requirements for Grade 1 races. Notwithstanding that these are of the best races in their category, the overall quality of staying horses in South Africa unfortunately does not compare with other countries in Part 1 of the International Cataloguing Standards.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 22nd - SUNDAY 24th JANUARY 2016

‘The Man Who Listens To Horses Is Coming To South Africa’ read the ads. For those who don’t know ‘The Man Who Listens To Horses’, that means Monty Roberts! Here! Live in person! Speaking from personal experience, I can guarantee it’s absolutely, definitely not to be missed.

first came across Monty Roberts and the term ‘horse whispering’ in one of my dad’s old racing magazines. It documented Monty’s tour to the UK and more particularly, his demonstration to the Queen and his work with her horses. I was captivated.

I was fascinated to read that here was someone – a man of all things – advocating a different way, a gentler way, using methods that my young mind hoped for and guessed at, but never quite managed to lay a firm finger on. Here – finally - was evidence that there WAS a better way and that it WORKED!

A Different Way

I kept the article for ages, but like so many things, eventually consigned it to the mental folder of ‘fascinating, but unlikely to ever be a reality for me.’ Fast forward a few years and 19 year old me ended up taking a break from horses and following my contemporary hordes to London. Of course, you can take the girl away from horses, but you can never quite take horses away from the girl.

My experiences of horses being broken in could best be described as a bit rough and ready. Feeling that things weren’t quite right, but not having a viable alternative solution was a frustrating experience and had resulted in several heated arguments with my peers and elders!

Horse folk – and horsey women in particular – are possessed of many wonderful qualities, including the fact that you rarely miss one. This is because we make sure you don’t. If there was ever such a thing as a horsey secret service, we’d all be rubbish as horse folk generally need about 3 milliseconds before announcing that we like horses and enquiring whether the person we’re talking to might be a fellow tribe member. We stick out like sore thumbs and in any given group, everyone knows who the ‘horse person’ is. So, despite my clean nails, smart suit and best attempts to blend in, it didn’t take long for the colleagues at my new job to know that I was a horse girl and boy, am I ever grateful for that. A chap called Tony Fossett was our resident East Ender and small-time punter and one day he passed my desk and dropped on it a copy of the daily paper, folded open to a page advertising a Monty Roberts demo. The mental folder marked ‘unlikely’ was about to experience some outgoing traffic.

Life Changing The demo was outside Birmingham and would require an intricate and carefully coordinated set of Tube trains, National Rail, bus and taxi journeys – and the small matter of 3 hours to get there. However, there were still tickets available, so I begged the requisite hours off work and off I set. In the rain. To have my life changed forever. The evening was a revelation. Monty demonstrated – clearly and repeatedly – that not only were all those things I’d hoped and dreamed actually true, but they worked to a formal, defined system. Monty called it the language of Equus. He explained that for his method to be deemed a recognised system, it had to be predictable, discernible and effective and then spent the evening demonstrating in no uncertain terms that it was. I even got to meet the famous Dually (the horse Monty named his headcollar after) as he’d come along to do a ridden demo. I got home in the small hours, but was so

T o

fascinated that I repeated the whole rigmarole of begging my boss to let me leave early and travelling all that way cross country again just to make sure I hadn’t been mistaken the first time round.

in Australian stock horses. He discovered Monty somewhat by accident about 14 years ago when his mother-in-law came back from the library with a book which she thought Keith might enjoy.

At the second demo, Monty announced that his protégée, Kelly Marks, was offering courses in his methods and I knew that no matter what it cost, I needed to attend. I scraped together my limited funds and spent the last bit of my visa and my savings on a glorious week with Kelly and the Intelligent Horsemanship team in Oxfordshire.

He turned the first page at 9pm and by 3am he’d finished the book – it was of course, ‘The Man Who Listens To Horses’, the story of Monty’s life. Much like me, Keith heard that Monty was coming to Australia, with the small snag that Monty was doing a demo in Queensland and Keith was on the opposite side of the country in Perth.

Trying it out

However, he moved heaven and earth to make the trip and once he’d seen Monty in person, decided they simply had to have him in Perth too. Keith went to a demo in Sydney to see how it all worked and then brought Monty to Western Australia. Monty simply has that effect on people. Keith had become a regular part of Monty’s Australian team and progressed to becoming Monty’s tour organiser, when Monty offered him the job of handling the merchandise as well.

Back home, my dad was kind enough to let me loose on a small draft of 3 year olds that were ready to go into training. Flying solo, I wasn’t at all convinced that the methods would work without my trusty IH team supervising and backing me up, but unbelievably it did. As Monty is fond of saying ‘it’s as though they all read the manual.’ I backed and started all our horses successfully using Monty’s methods that year and have subsequently started all my horses the same way. A few years later, I found myself back in the UK and back at Monty demos and Intelligent Horsemanship, eager to learn more. The work was so compelling that I even persuaded Kelly to tour South Africa twice in 2007 and 2008 and we had enormous fun doing it.

Monty Monty himself is nearly impossible to book. His mantra is that he wants to leave the world a better place for horses and for people too, so he has dedicated himself to travelling the world to teach his methods. He is so in demand that he travels for 300 days out of every year. That would be a pretty big ask for any normal person, but Monty will be 81 in May, which makes it all the more remarkable. Given Monty’s schedule and the not inconsiderable risks of travelling to South Africa, I reluctantly filed the idea of seeing him out here in my ‘unlikely’ folder. However, it seems I may have to rename that damn thing as someone has finally talked Monty into a visit. That person is Keith Lawrence of Cardinal Events Management. As I’m more than a little excited about seeing Monty on home soil, I chatted to the force behind the tour de force to find out more.

SA Tour Keith Lawrence is Australian and has had horses for over 50 years, with a particular interest

“To be honest, I didn’t really want to, at that stage I was already doing the shows, advertising and marketing, so it was a natural progression.” Asked what he thinks makes Monty so special, Keith replies, “I think he’s the best horseman I’ve ever met in my life. I’ve never met anyone like him, ever. And he’s the same with people, too. He’s forgotten more about horses than most people will ever learn!. I was a ‘school of hard knocks’ kind of person, but the difference Monty and his methods have made is just amazing.” “I’ve been asking him for two years to go to South Africa. I think it’s very much like Australia and has a similar number of horses. It’s unchartered territory, but I felt it’s something he should do before he gets too old.” It’s sobering to think that someone who has had such an enormous impact not only on my life, but so many others, may not be around forever and as Keith says, “I don’t know what’s going to happen when he’s not around anymore.”

Tour Details The team are planning two demo dates each in Cape Town and Johannesburg. The Cape demos will be held at Mistico Equestrian Centre (out near the old Steadfast Stud) on 28 and 29 May and the Johannesburg demos will be held on 4 and 5 June at the Equidome. There is a website up and running (www. montyrobertslive.co.za) and

tickets go on sale through Computicket from 1 February 2016. VIP tickets will be in the region of R950, with general admission somewhat less, and under 12’s cheaper still. Demos usually follow a fairly standard format of Monty demonstrating Join-Up and starting an unbacked horse. The middle section of the demo is reserved for a horse with problems and this can cover anything from horses that buck, bite, are hard to catch, clip, pick their feet up – almost anything one can think of. The last part of the demo is dedicated to horses with loading problems (something most horse folk can relate to!). The team are appealing for demo horses, so if you think you own, or know of a suitable candidate, please apply via the website. There are always opportunities to talk to Monty and to ask questions and I can guarantee an evening of the most educational entertainment you have ever had. Keith explains, “While every demo follows a similar format, each is completely different, because every horse is different. One of our biggest problem is that Monty is so good at what he does that he makes it look too easy! We have all sorts of problems with people saying demo horses have been trained or prepared in some way, but in actual fact, Monty never sees the horses until he walks into the arena. “The methods simply work 100% of the time - even if some horses need a few minutes longer than others. In fact, the worse the horses are, the better for us - they make for a better demo. He has an absolute gift at communicating – to horses and to an audience. Having spent as much time as I have with Monty, I can tell you that one to one he’s no different out of the ring to what he is in the ring. That’s just who he is. It’s pretty extraordinary, really.”

He will put on a show Keith says that Monty was a bit nervous to begin with, but now that he’s committed, is very excited about his South African tour. “Given his age and the logistics of getting him here, it’s unlikely that he’ll be back, so believe me, he will put on a show. He will be travelling here from England and will probably travel from South Africa to Germany.” Monty will make himself available to professional organisations on request (any queries or bookings can be made via the website or by contacting Keith directly by email on keith@thenetwork. net.au). Take it from me and book twice.

SPORTING POST • FriDAY 22nd - SUNDAY 24th January 2016 k

Fashion Coke Failure Adds SA Champion Apprentice Craig Zackey has fallen foul of authorities who weren’t impressed by his fashion sense and use of accessories recently. He was suspended for 7 days after attending a Kenilworth racemeeting in December and found to be not wearing his SA Jockey Academy uniform - and wearing earrings. It seems the earrings are a no-no, whether in civvies, or uniform.

What A Ride!

Cape Town’s favourite son Andrew Fortune notched up his 100 winners for the season at Flamingo Park on Monday, when steering Quid Rides to an easy victory. Fortune went to the top of the SA jockey log after celebrating a hat-trick at the meeting. What about Joey giving him a chance on King Of Pain in the Met?

Aussie jockey Luke Tarrant posted an image to his Instagram account apparently making light of the inquiry that resulted in him receiving a six month suspension. Tarrant was stood down from riding, after testing positive to a cocaine derivative. The image depicts Tarrant sporting a cap with the phrase ‘Enjoy Coke’, accompanied by the caption “Seems like the most appropriate headwear for today’s enquiry (sic)”

Big Chance Maine Chance Farms enjoyed yet another weekend to remember. Not only was the Robertson stud farm responsible for breeding the first two home in Saturday’s Gr2 Sceptre Stakes, but Maine Chance Farms bred horses won no fewer than five races over the weekend in total.

Survivor

‘Miracle’ jockey Brian Toomey is to join Dr Richard Newland’s stable as assistant trainer in February. The jump jockey made headlines last year with his return to the saddle, two years after sustaining life-threatening injuries in a fall at Perth. Toomey was given a 3% chance of survival by doctors after a horrific fall from Solway Dandy in 2013. He was reported to have died for six seconds before being resuscitated by paramedics.

High & A Low Trainer Mohamed Allie saddled his first winner in over three years when Hilaria shed her maiden at Kenilworth on Saturday. He was also fined R2000 for failing to vaccinate the filly against Equine Influenza in accordance with the programme of vaccinations. Allie signed an admission of guilt.

Bums On Seats

Total attendances across Britain’s 59 tracks rose by 5.3 per cent to 6,129,433 in 2015, which was 309,463 more than 2014 and just 21,810 short of the 2011 record of 6,151,243. It was the third year in a row that attendances have risen, with racing performing well despite the rival attractions of the Ashes and Rugby World Cup.

South Africa boasts two distinguished speakers at the 36th Asian Racing Conference to be held in India from 24 to 29 January. Summerhill supremo Mick Goss will deliver a paper on ‘South Africa ‘s place in the International Breeding/Racing World’, while SP Editor Karel Miedema addresses delegates on a sensitive subject, close to many hearts –‘Handicapping: Origins & Development’. We wish them both well.

ARC

Punta Arenas is the only KZN runner in the 15 horse field (20 could have run) for the Gr1 J&B Met, which includes 8 individual Gr1 winners. Last year’s victor Futura returns in a double bid, while 2013 winning owner Sabine Plattner has Krambambuli running for Justin Snaith. It is great to see jockey Craig Du Plooy getting the opportunity to ride the Black Minnaloushe colt.

Prince Andrew

Strife

Ruby Walsh showed why he is widely regarded as the world’s best jumps jockey after guiding his stumbling mount Killultagh Vic to a remarkable comeback win in Ireland. Leading by several lengths, the pair cleared the final fence comfortably before things went pear-shaped as he “pitched” upon landing. Despite losing an iron, Walsh managed to remain in the saddle and regained momentum to steal victory from the jaws of certain defeat.

John Koster

Touching Greatness John Koster is the third generation of the Koster family to breed Thoroughbreds in South Africa since his grandfather Ralph Koster founded his Klavervlei stud in Beaufort West back in 1943. Ralph had three sons:

Majorca Stakes Majorca was a great race mare, judged second in her generation only to Colorado King. “The race is very special to me, firstly because my grandfather bred Majorca and it’s an honour to have a race named after such a great filly. Secondly, I had just gone into partnership with Markus Jooste and when Shadow Dancing won the Majorca in 2005 it was our first meeting as partners. To win it on the first day of the new partnership was very special and Shadow Dancing is now the dam of a Gr1 winner in Thunder Dance.”

Peter, Werner and Wilfred and the third generation comprises Peter’s sons John (Klawervlei) and Charles (Klavervlei), Werner’s sons Graeme (Rosedene) and Ralph and Wilfred’s son Vaughan (Cheveley). There have been many great stallions, mares and racehorses that have helped pave the road to the breeding dynasty of today, but of them all, the one who has carried John and his Bonnievale operation, is the mighty Captain Al.

“I get shivers just telling you the story,” says John, sitting in the elegant, wood panelled Klawervlei box, adorned with photographs and trophies, most courtesy of his stud’s flagship stallion. “It is a tale of two families and a great horse.” “It goes back to ‘varsity days. Lana-Anne was going to Gary dos Santos’ 21st and asked me to go with her. I didn’t want to go - it was her crowd of mates and I hadn’t even met Gary before, but I went. The party was at Gary’s house and when we got there, there was a shout from the balcony and his father, Manny dos Santos, summoned me up. “He’d heard that I was a horse breeder and wanted to know whether I knew anything about a filly called Off To War. I said yes, she was by Complete Warrior (which was a stallion my dad bought and stood at Klavervlei). Manny explained that he’d bought the filly because the dam was called Infanta and he had a house there. We looked at her races and he asked if I’d take her to stud. It was the start of an amazing friendship.”

Handshakes and hugs “Our deal was that Manny paid no keep, but after two foals, the mare was mine. For whatever reason, we never charged after the third foal either and one day Manny phoned and said ‘What’s going on?’ I said to him, ‘Uncle Manny, we swap and barter, we don’t charge.’ It was just like that. He had a workshop called Smith & Santos – I’d sent my bakkie in to Uncle Manny to be fixed and there was no charge. One day he came out to the farm to visit and it was incredibly hot and dry. He asked what we did when it was so hot and I said, not a lot! A short while later a lorry arrived with a swimming pool. That was a swap for another foal. When the fourth foal came round, Manny said to his son Gary, ‘John’s family is growing. Make sure you organise him

a family vehicle.’ And then a combi arrived. And so it went. All our business was done on handshakes and hugs.”

Captain Al “In those days Al Mufti was red hot and you couldn’t get in. Manny had a friend with a share in Al Mufti, so we did a deal where the friend put in the service, I put in the keep and Manny got a third for putting together the deal. And of course, the result was Captain Al.” “Then tragedy struck and Manny passed away. It was a heavy blow after he’d been so good to me all those years. Manny had two sons – Anthony and Gary – and once Manny passed Gary got very involved. We were very close friends and our families were very close – he also had three kids. We had a policy of keeping the fillies to race and sending the colts to sale and Captain Al duly went to the sales. Gary was very interested in the colt. I’d always said to Gary, ‘Never lose a horse of mine for one bid. If you need to go a bit more, I’ll always make up the difference.’ Gary went to the sales with R100k to spend. As it turned out, Captain Al actually failed the vet, but there was another very interested party and they bid up to R100k, despite the vetting. “Gary went to R110k and got him. It was fate, absolute fate. Captain Al went into training with Vaughan Marshall and Gary and I stood together when we won the Guineas. We knew then we had a stallion. There was a lot of talk of gelding him because he was haemoconcentrating, but we were adamant he’d go to stud.”

Gamble “When Captain Al went to stud, Gary and I decided whatever we did with this horse, it would be for fun. We asked John Freeman to manage the stallion for us and then we threw a huge party in the boardroom at the races. Captain Al was syndicated within 24 hours – in fact,

we had to increase the shares from 40 to 45!” “I looked at what Ashleigh Parker had done with Al Mufti and saw that he’d got an average of R30k per yearling for the first three years. Based on that, I sent half my broodmare band to Captain Al and the rest to outside stallions. I had a young family and it was a huge gamble, but I had absolute faith in the horse. There was just so much karma – right from the party which I hadn’t wanted to go to, to how we got the service, to buying him at the sales, his racing career, the lot.” “At the first sale we went to, Anton Shepherd came and said to me, ‘They all look alike – you’re onto a good thing here.” We averaged R60k for his yearlings and I knew then that if they ran, we’d have some fun. Unfortunately tragedy struck again – Gary got cancer and died, just before the first Captain Al’s ran. But of his first two runners, the first one came second and the second one won and I knew we were onto something big.” “In my champion sire acceptance speech I told the story that we didn’t have a gate at the top of our driveway. What we did have were two wolves called debt and overdraft. There was one horse guarding my family from those two wolves and that was Captain Al. Every time those wolves got too close, Captain Al would come through. He put my kids through school. It’s amazing what one horse can mean to a family. I don’t have enough superlatives,” he says reflectively. “Off To War is still alive and aged 30. She’s in the old age home now, but whenever I show people around the farm, I stop at her paddock and tell them to get out and touch greatness.”

John Of course Captain Al didn’t do it all on his own. John

learnt about breeding from his grandfather Ralph, who founded the family Klavervlei stud with 6 foundation mares acquired from Allan Robertson. In addition to learning stockmanship, the young John remembers manning the record player and spending school holiday evenings playing classical music for his grandfather. In fact, he inherited Ralph’s record collection. “He was a great stockman and breeder and stood stallions like Dramatic and Preamble - in those days you didn’t worry about stamina.” John spent 6 months in Beaufort West, learning the family trade from his father and Uncle Wilfred and then followed 2 years in the army before spending a season at Zandvliet Stud with Paul and his son Dan de Wet. “They were amazing times. Uncle Paulie was incredibly knowledgeable and very free with his expertise. He was a man with great sayings such as ‘every day is a Sunday lunch and every Sunday is a Christmas lunch.’ They really knew how to entertain! There was always good food and good wine, opened 3 minutes before serving and a bell under the table to summon the butler. “He also loved to shock the ladies with Folmar – he’d bring out the horse and then tell them to look underneath, then say ‘those are the second most important pair of balls on this farm!’ He was a great teacher and a real character and he taught me a lot about life as well as horses.”

John spent 18 months in Ireland, working at Coolmore under the inimitable Tommy Stack, during the time Coolmore were really getting stuck into Northern Dancer. Not only did he meet the likes of Robert Sangster and John Magnier, but got to experience horses like El Gran Senor, Sadler’s Wells and Caerleon. Back at home, John decided to strike out on his own. “The BAR Valley was at the absolute height of its breeding power, so I chose a far corner and settled in Bonnievale and never left. We pulled out the vines – anything that doesn’t bleed or breathe I’m not fond of – and started from scratch. I was very fortunate, when I inherited the horses, my father purchased Complete Warrior. That gave us the break we needed. He was broodmare sire to Off To War, so he’s still carrying us.”

Stud name The Kosters banded together as Koster Bros, becoming champion breeders for 4 years. “Right at the beginning of Koster Bros, I needed a name for my stud,” he explains. “My dad didn’t want to lose the family name, so I called my stud Klawervlei, with a subtle change to the ‘w’. The first crop I bred included Roland’s Song. I didn’t have the money for a ticket to accept her ARCSA Award, so Wilfred did the honours for me,” he reminisces. Eventually Wilfred wanted to go his own way and they split into their separate units again.

“Majorca has an amazing story. My grandfather had a massive concrete swimming pool. They used to pump water from the borehole into the pool and from there onto the garden, so the pool often stood empty. One day Majorca fell into the pool and smashed her face – George Faull fixed her up and she went on to become a successful broodmare whose influence is still felt today (Jeppe’s Reef, 2013 Gold Cup winner). Klawervlei have sponsored the race for a number of years and this year form part of the feature race line-up on the Investec Day of Dreams. “Being a sponsor gives you an opportunity to have guests who support you throughout the year and to have it on the Investec Day of Dreams is very exciting. It’s great for the Cape to create a new massive race day and Investec has lots of plans. It’s going to be a wow day.” “We’ve got 4 runners in the $1 million – drawn 7, 15, 18 and 19 – and Warm White Night has two in the Derby. He was a sprinter, which goes to show this game has no rules! We’ve won the Majorca twice – first with Shadow Dancing in ‘05 and then with Mother Russia in ‘09. “It gave me great pleasure to hand it to Vaughan (Koster) for Gluwein and to Markus for Blueridge Mountain. Now the big quest is to breed a Majorca winner as sponsors!”

2016 Cape Premier Sale draft “Like every year, we have 50-odd yearlings for the Cape Premier Sale, all by top stallions, but we’re particularly excited about Twice Over. CTS create quality sales and it’s exciting that we have an even larger bunch of international buyers expected this year – it’s great for the country and great for breeders.”

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

with Steve Furnish

Soaring Eagle

Smart Double

Kenilworth 9th January The prestigious Gr1 Queen’s Plate topped the bill in Cape Town on Saturday and in what not surprisingly turned out to be the fastest of the four 1600m races, the highest rated horse in the country LEGAL EAGLE landed the spoils. Normally one to run on stoutly from off the pace, the Greys Inn gelding broke well and raced second for most of the journey. He put his head in front approaching the 400m marker and kept on strongly in the closing stages of the race to beat LEGISLATE by a length and a half. In terms of prizemoney the Gr1 Paddock Stakes shared top billing and here we saw a smart performance from the aptly named SMART CALL. Always handy in what proved to be the slowest of the afternoon’s three 1800m events, Ormond Ferraris’ charge took up the running 200m out and went on to win well by two from the locally trained INARA. The Gr3 Politician Stakes for 3yo’s was surprisingly the quickest of the three 1800m races and here we saw an eye catching performance from the progressive BLACK ARTHUR. Guarding the rear as the thirteen runners turned for home, Justin Snaith’s charge ran on best of all over the final 600m and won going away by three quarters after striking the front close home. TITBITS The recent maiden winner NIGHTINGALE won the MR68 Handicap over 2000m in good style going away. Now a winner of two from three, VILIKAZI came from the rear when getting up late to win the MR85 Handicap over 1600m.

ASTROMAN won the third division of the maiden 1200m very easily by three and a half.

Fastest In South Africa Fairview 11th January The Western Winter mare BLIZZARD BELLE broke the course record when completing a four-timer in the Eastern Cape on Monday and in the process she became the fastest horse ever over 1000m in South Africa. Soon at the head of affairs, Yvette Bremner’s charge kept up a healthy gallop throughout and won comfortably from the running on COPPER PARADE. The course was clearly running very fast though as the maiden plate over 1000m won by the aptly named SPEED LIGHTNING was won in a time just 0,86 seconds slower than that of Blizzard Belle. Either the record stands to be broken again in similar conditions, or Speed Lightning is going to prove to be useful. Always handy, the son of A P Answer took up the running 250m out and drew clear easily in the closing stages of the race to score by four and a quarter. Quickest home in the three 1400m races was ETERNAL JET in the pinnacle stakes. Freely available at 20/1 on the off, the Jet Master gelding raced in the rear and was easily eight lengths off the TOP SPEED RATINGS pace turning for home. for this WEEKEND Once given rein though (Ratings shown have already been he quickened well and in adjusted to allocated weights) a blanket finish he got up the very last stride. FAIRVIEW (FRI) Race 1: (5) O Tamara 2 (nb) TITBITS The 8yo MONEY GRUBBER won the MR84 Handicap over 2000m going away by three and a quarter.

Greyville 10th January This was the meeting originally scheduled to take place on the turf at Scottsville. They raced on the poly track on Sunday where five of the eight races were run over 1200m. The fastest of these was the bill topping MR86 Handicap won by JAYYED. Sent off third in the betting market at 5/1, Mike De Kock’s charge was a little slow into stride and raced in the rear early on. He quickened well in the straight and in what was a thrilling three way finish he only got the verdict by the narrowest of margins. The remaining three races were all staged over 1000m and quickest home amongst these was the veteran QUINTELLA when registering only her third career victory in the MR66 Handicap. Making her seventy third racecourse appearance here the Miesque’s Approval mare wasn’t the quickest into stride and raced in midfield during the early part of the race. She made her move early in the straight and got up late to deny the 4yo WHISTLING WONDER. A maiden juvenile plate over 1000m had gotten proceedings underway and here we saw a very comfortable victory for Jayyed’s stable companion MEGNAAS. Always in the red, the son of Asiatic Boy took up the running shortly after passing the 200m marker and won going away by three. TITBITS

Vaal 12th January Tuesday’s action took place on the outside track where four of the nine races were run over 1400m. The fastest home in these was the 5yo BRAD’S SURGE when causing a major upset in the afternoon’s feature event, a MR93 Handicap. Sent off as the rank outsider of the ten horse party at 33/1, Bradley Maroun’s charge raced towards the rear early on. He ran on stoutly from halfway and got the verdict over SOVEREIGN MINT by a half. The best bet on the card for many was AFRICAN RULER in the MR88 Handicap, and in what proved to be the faster of the two 1000m events, he did indeed do the business. Sent off a well-supported favourite at 11/10, Paul Peter’s

charge was soon up handy. He was ridden to lead going through the 200m and comfortably accounted for RAFA by a length and a half. By far the faster of the two 1600m events was the MR68 Handicap won by BAJAN FANTASY. Always easy to back at around 8/1, the 3yo daughter of Mullins Bay was soon positioned close to the speed. She initially led passing the 400m pole, but was headed 100m later by the well-supported favourite ALEXA. She fought back gamely from there onwards and won well by a length after regaining the lead 100m out. TITBITS Lightly raced AMERICAN STORY won the maiden plate over 1600m with authority by two.

The Word Was Out Kenilworth 13th January All the rage to win the opening maiden juvenile plate over 1000m in Cape Town on Wednesday was the newcomer THE SECRET IS OUT. Deep in the red at 9/20 on the off, the full sister to ALL IS SECRET was soon positioned up with the speed. She took command going through the 400m and despite racing very green won well with some in hand. The faster of the two 1200m races on the card was the maiden plate in which the 15/20 favourite ORION QUEST came home smoking. Run in a time some 0,57 seconds faster than the MR76 Handicap, Brett Crawford’s charge was soon up handy. He took up the running at the 400m marker and cruised clear in the closing stages of the race to score by seven and a quarter. Four of the afternoon’s eight races were run

over 1400m and quickest home amongst these was MR WISE GUY when showing good improvement to win the MR79 Handicap. Sent off second in the betting market at 4/1, Joey Ramsden’s charge was guarding the rear as the seven runners turned for home. He ran on best of all in the straight and after getting the better of the well-supported favourite MIDNIGHT ZONE 200m out, he went on to score with some in hand by a length and a quarter. TITBITS The recent maiden winner SUPERCILIOUS won the MR70 Handicap over 1400m very easily by four and three quarters. KINGVOLDT was continually baulked at the business end of the MR94 Handicap over 1400m, and did well to get up late.

Mighty Matriarch’s Ongoing Success

Breeder and former vice-president of France Gallop, Michel Henochsberg, who died last Friday, certainly left an indelible mark on thoroughbred breeding. Henochsberg purchased the Lombard mare Allegretta for just $55 000 from the Keeneland November Sale, and she went on to change the face of the stud book.

o fewer than ten Gr1 winners trace back directly in female line to Allegretta, as does the Gr1 sire, Tertullian. Major races won by Allegretta line descendants include the 2000 Guineas, Epsom Derby (twice), King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, Irish Oaks, Arc de Triomphe, Irish Derby, Prix Jacques le Marois, Irish Champion Stakes, Eclipse Stakes, Tattersalls Gold Cup, Prix Du Jockey-Club (French Derby), and Juddemonte International – among others.

Progeny Allegretta’s greatest offspring were 2000 Guineas winner and champion sire, King’s Best (Kingmambo) and Prix de L’Arc de

among others, while his as yet unproven sons, Australia, Frankel, and Gleneagles, to name but three, surely rank as among the most attractive commercial stud prospects of recent years. Galileo’s half brother, Sea The Stars (Cape Cross), one of the greatest middle distance horses ever to race in Europe, made a blistering start to his stud career when his first crop produced 3 Gr1 winners, including champions, Taghrooda and Sea The Moon.

Triomphe winner and outstanding broodmare, Urban Sea (Miswaki). Her daughters, Allez Les Trois (Riverman) and Anzille (Plugged Nickle) produced the Gr1 winners Anabaa Blue (Prix Du Jockey Club) and Anzillero (Deutschland Preis), while Allez Les Trois is also the second dam of Gr1 Prix Jean Prat winner, Tamayuz (Nayef), with another member of this family being recently retired Gr3 Greenlands Stakes winner, Mustajeeb (Nayef). Both Anabaa Blue (Spirit One) and Tamayuz (G Force) are Gr1 sires. Yet another daughter of Allegretta to leave behind a gifted son was the stakes placed Turbaine (Trempolino). The latter’s son, Tertullian, (by Miswaki and a brother in blood to Urban Sea) was Germany’s Champion Sire

Galileo in 2014, and his top progeny include the Gr1 winners, Guiliani (Grosser DallmayrPreis) and Mawingo (Doomben Cup). However, it is through Urban Sea and, to a lesser extent, King’s Best, that Allegretta is likely to continue to exert an influence on the thoroughbred for generations to come.

Go Deputy

King’s Best

Lammerskraal’s inform sire Go Deputy had an impressive feature race winner this past Saturday when his son Abashiri streaked clear to register an emphatic win in the Listed Sea Cottage Stakes at Turffontein.

t was a first black type win for the three-yearold gelding, who has now won or placed in all four of his outings to date and who was third, last time out, in the G2 Investec Dingaans behind subsequent G1 Cape Guineas winner Noah From Goa. The feauture win followed on the stallion’s impressive double at the Vaal on Thursday. Interestingly, Go Deputy runners won the first and last races respectively, to bookend the nine race meeting. First of the Go Deputy runners to score was Kellie Firth, who won for the Geoff Woodruff stable over 2000m.

Bred by Lammerskraal, the filly was rewarded for consistency having finished in the money in two of her previous three outings. Second of the Go Deputy winners to score was the colt Penteliko, who relished a step up in trip when running out a facile winner for the Marwing family. A full brother to the useful performer Alula Borealis as well as Listed Settlers Trophy hero Arezzo, Penteliko looks sure to win his share of races when stepped up in trip. Just one day previously, another Go Deputy daughter, Esperanza Fire, ran second over 1200m (on just her second start) and she looks likely to give her sire yet another winner before too long!

2 Colts at the CPYS

Go Deputy has had yet another good season, with his winners including G3 winner Current Event as well as the above mentioned Arezzo. Go Deputy has a fine strike rate with his 3yos this year including not only the above mentioned Abashiri and Royal Badge, but also Listed Devon Air Stakes winner Flying Ice, the stakes placed Rap Attack and the hugely promising Welsh Emperor, a winner of two of his three starts to date. With Go Deputy himself only improving with age, one can but wonder what his final stats for this cracking crop of sophomores will be! www.capebreeders.co.za

King’s Best, whose Investec Derby winning son, Workforce, was Japan’s third leading first crop sire last year, is currently himself standing alongside his son in Japan. To date, the 2000 Guineas winning, King’s Best, one of the best sire sons of Kingmambo, has nearly 100 black type performers, with his tally of stakes winners including eight Gr1 winners. A sign of King’s Best’s versatility as a sire can be seen in the fact that his Gr1 winners include top flight winners over 1300m (King’s Apostle) and 2800 (Royal Diamond). He is also enjoying increasing success as a broodmare sire, with his daughters having already produced the likes of French 1000 Guineas winner, Ervedya (Siyouni), and Gr2 winners, Karaktar (High Chaparral), Kinglike (Exceed And Excel) and Kiram (Elusive City). Given the tremendous success that Kingmambo enjoyed with Sadler’s Wells, it comes as no surprise to see that some of King’s Best’s

and

Ascot Bred Yearlings

top performers, Workforce (Gr1 Investec Derby, Gr1 Arc de Triomphe), King’s Apostle (Gr1 Prix Maurice de Gheest) and Creachadoir (Gr1 Lockinge Stakes) were produced by Sadler’s Wells line mares.

Urban Sea While King’s Best has been a successful sire in his own right, his success does not approach that of Galileo, (Sadler’s Wells), the son of his half sister, Urban Sea. One of six sons of Urban Sea to stand at stud (another son proved infertile), Galileo has dominated the European sires list for the past decade. One of just a handful of sires to have 200 plus stakes winners to his credit (and responsible for 10 individual Gr1 winners in 2015 alone!), Galileo has been champion sire in the UK for seven of the past eight years.

SA Influence His influence looks like spreading to South Africa, where his sons Global View, Kingsbarns, and The Assayer are all based at stud. Galileo, whose greatest son, Frankel, has his much anticipated first runners in 2016, has over 50 Gr1 winners to his credit. Described by many knowledgeable pundits as the finest stallion ever to stand in Ireland, Galileo is an increasingly successful sire of sires, through Teofilo, New Approach and the promising former Irish 2000 Guineas winner, Roderic O’Connor

1 Colt

at the CPYS

The six time Gr1 winner continued his good start in 2015, when his runners included 13 black type winners, including the group winners, Cloth Of Stars, Star Storm and Storm The Stars.

General Sires List The influence of Urban Sea and her sons can be seen clearly in the 2015 General Sires List in GB/Ireland. All of Galileo, Teofilo and Sea The Stars featured in the top twenty, and between the trio left behind 60 odd stakes winners in Europe in 2015. Another son of Urban Sea to make a mark, albeit a considerably lesser one than either Galileo or Sea The Stars, is Black Sam Bellamy. A full brother to Galileo, Black Sam Bellamy’s eight black type winners include multiple European champion, Earl of Tinsdal, a Gr1 winner in both Germany and Italy, as well as local runner, Vengence, who was awarded victory in the 2011 G3 East Cape Derby. The success that Allegretta and her descendants have enjoyed can be seen by the fact that a growing number of pattern race winners are inbred to her. This list includes last season’s high-class British 2yo, Fireglow, winner of both the Sweet Solera Stakes and Montrose Stakes and a likely contender for some of the bigger races for 3yo fillies in 2016. The list is likely to grow – and it is surely only a matter of time before Sea The Stars or a close relative produces a high class performer out of a daughter of Galileo or one of his legion of sons.
