SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 1st - SUNDAY 3rd APRIL 2016

SUPERIOR UPBRINGING = SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE No week goes by without a few Summerhill-breds in the winner’s enclosure.

That was apparent again this weekend with not one, but four Stakes-performers: Solar Star & No Worries in the Easter Handicap (Listed) and Bankable Teddy & Intergalactic in the Oaks Trial (Listed), as well as stellar performances by Topography and AP Chanel who brought home wins for Charles Laird and the Alexanders.

Gr1 SA CLASSIC at Turffontein on Saturday

2012

Mike Azzie’s outstanding Go Deputy gelding Abashiri takes his next step to equine immortality when he lines up in the R2 million Gr1 SA Classic at Turffontein on Saturday. Fit, in sparkling form and loaded with talent, it is difficult suggesting that anything can stop his march to Triple Crown glory.

A

bashiri won the first leg of the SASCOC SA Triple Crown with a stamp of authority that suggested he can only get better with the benefit of racing experience.

A magnificent gelding with a nerve-wracking tendency to drift out to the Turrfontein Grandstand, his comprehensive defeat of Champagne Haze in the Gauteng Guineas was eyecatching stuff and the course and distance winner holds all-comers on Saturday.

A winner of 4 of his 6 outings, Abashiri looks the banker in all exotics and Karl Zechner has done nothing wrong, having been aboard at his last three successive victories.

Top Man

It is interesting that top jockey Anton Marcus sticks with Brazuca.

The Aussie bred took

forever to get going in the Guineas, but anybody who watched his storming penultimate effort in the Cape Guineas would have noted that he can only be an increased threat over the extra 200m here.

Champagne Haze finished best of the rest for second in the Gauteng Guineas and he tries 1800m for the first time.

The son of Kahal has done little wrong in his last two starts and he will be ready for a massive effort on Saturday under Gavin Lerena – who will be hungry for winners after a slightly disappointing stint in Hong Kong.

Wide Draw

Gavin Van Zyl’s Judpot gelding Rocketball has sadly drawn widest of all and was beaten 10,90 lengths in the Gauteng Guineas.

He did run a much better race in the Sea Cottage Stakes when just 3,25 lengths behind Abishiri and his KZN runs over 1900m on the Greyville

57.0 (13) 1/1 57.0 ( 5) 20/1 57.0 ( 6) 9/1

polytrack spoke volumes of a horse with plenty of stamina The Mike de Kock pair of Suyoof and Muwaary have both shown enough to have earned their respective berths here.

Suyoof won the Gr3 Tony Ruffel Stakes beating Champagne Haze at his penultimate start by a half length but failed to spark when 8 lengths behind Abashiri in the Guineas.

He tries the 1800m for the first time and has a wide draw to beat.

Graham Beck Stakes winner Muwaary finished marginally behind Suyoof in the Guineas at his first run back home after going unplaced in the Selangor Cup down in Cape Town.

He is a fellow with a stamp of class about him and should appreciate the 1800m.

Princely Effort

Romany Prince won the Listed Drum Star beating Judicial at his last start and

was 6,10 lengths behind Abashiri at his penultimate.

Anthony Delpech rides the son of Kahal for trainer Ormond Ferraris and while he will need to improve further to win here, he has scope and should be watched as a quartet kicker.

Le Clos and Trading Profit make up the balance of the Azzie ‘citrus’ attack.

Le Clos has made respiratory noises at many of his starts but is a pacy and gutsy front-runner who has a perfect 2 gate to lead early and provide Abashiri with a winning assault platform.

There is some doubt over whether he will stay the 1800m.

Trading Profit on the other hand gets every inch of the trip and beat the solid older handicapper Judicial in receipt of 6kgs last time.

The son of Toreador looks well held by the Azzie stable elect on his penultimate effort but has place prospects if Bernard Fayd’herbe can overcome the wide draw.

Sean Tarry’s runners are always a factor on the big days and the SA champion is represented by a four-way coupling.

Highest rated is the King’s Chapel colt Malak El Moolook who ran on smartly

for third in the Gauteng Guineas, beaten just 2,60 lengths by Abashiri.

On that run and his Sea Cottage Stakes effort, he is well held by the favourite and his last run behind Liege was a modest effort.

Bling

Stable jockey S’manga Khumalo takes the ride on Lunar Approach who finished 16 lengths back in the Gauteng Guineas on his first run post the CTS Million Dollar down in Cape Town.

While he will be better this time round, he has plenty of ground to make up.

Liege is the third of the Tarry quartet and has had two runs since returning from his Cape summer campaign.

The son of Dynasty may have needed it when beaten 7,30 lengths in the Gauteng Guineas and was quite impressive when beating Saturday’s Derby Trial third placed Count Tassilo by six lengths last time.

Whether that is classic strength collateral remains to be seen.

Samurai Blade rounds off the Tarry attack and cannot be fancied on form and with his relatively modest 88 rating.

He has yet to be exposed to any feature activity but was

2015

beaten 5 lengths by Rocketball in an MR89 Handicap a few runs back.

Val Et Al would have to run lengths better than his rating to feature here but he did bounce back to winning form at his last start.

The son of Captain Al beat subsequent good winner Kangaroo Jack by 3,25 lengths in an MR 85 Handicap. He ran a shocker at his penultimate start when 25 lengths plus behind Abashiri in the Sea Cottage Stakes.

Form

The form books tell the story. If they run true to form, then Abashiri wins it.

The one lurker could be Brazuca who could finally put a winning effort together after three really decent runs.

Champagne Haze looks set to chase those two home – it is difficult making a case for anything else.

Champion Legal Eagle – fitness questions

Classy Negroamaro looks to return to winning ways

HF Oppenheimer Gr1 HORSE CHESTNUT STAKES at Turffontein on Saturday

Gr1 SA FILLIES CLASSIC at Turffontein on Saturday

T

Two top fillies who fought out the Gauteng Fillies Guineas a month ago clash head on in the R1 million Wilgerbosdrift Gr1 SA Fillies Classic at Turffontein on Saturday. Will the extra 200m make a difference and afford Negroamaro an opportunity to turn the tables on Heaps Of Fun?

he pair were drawn alongside each other at the end of February when S’manga Khumalo rode a superb race on Sean Tarry’s Heaps Of Fun to hold off the grey from the Janse Van Vuuren yard.

With Heaps Of Fun drawn out at 10 on Saturday and Negroamaro likely to love the extra 200m, we could see a reversal.

Heaps Of Fun came out of the woodwork to win the Gauteng Fillies Guineas at decent odds after a rather disappointing performance at her penultimate start when unplaced in the Three Troikas.

The daughter of Visionaire will have her tail up and Negroamaro will have to be at her best to get the better of her.

Anton Marcus stays with the daughter of Fort Wood who was runner-up to Madame Dubois in the Three Troikas and then lacked the fire to get to the leader in the Fillies Guineas.

If we go back to November, she beat Heaps Of Fun by 4,25 lengths in the Fillies Mile and would need to repeat that to have a big chance of silencing her bridesmaid detractors.

TGIF Frosty Friday was 0,8 lengths behind Negroamaro in the Gauteng Fillies Guineas after winning three on the trot (including a victory of Oaks Trial runner-up Intergalactic) and if better drawn would have been an automatic third choice.

The daughter of Western Winter will have no problem with the trip.

She’s A Dragon completes the Fillies Guineas top four and while two lengths behind Frosty Friday, she has maintained her form well.

The daughter of Jay Peg tries the 1800m for the first time and while she showed plenty of speed (she is out of a Goldkeeper mare) early on, she could grab minor place money again.

Juxtapose ran on well for third behind the now exported Madame Dubois in the Gr3 Three Troikas made no show next time when beaten 4,80 lengths in the Fillies Guineas.

Stan Ferreira’s daughter of Judpot is another who is trying the 1800m for the first time and she is surely capable of running into place money on her best form.

KZN challenger Princess Varunya is back for more after having her colours lowered in the Gauteng Fillies Guineas after a four-run winning spell at home.

Anthony Delpech stays loyal to the Australian-bred who has drawn nicely at 2 and can be expected to improve over the extra ground after possibly finding the mile on the short side.

De Kock Duo Persian Rug and Noor are the De Kock stable representatives and will provide value in the betting for their supporters – certainly on their current form.

Persian Rug has run on nicely at her last two starts for feature fifths without troubling the judge.

The Mauritzfontein bred daughter of Ideal World may well be a better Oaks prospect than taking on the top four from the Guineas – who do hold her.

Noor won her first two starts overa mile like a filly headed in the right direction.

The daughter of Dynasty was knocked off her pedestal in the Caper Fillies Guineas and then needed it when out the money in the Three Troikas.

She ran a better race in the Acacia Handicap when 1,65

lengths behind Off The Mark last time and is worth considering for a quartet spot.

Witchcraft is Sean Tarry’s welldrawn second stringer.

The daughter of Kahal has won two of her last three starts over the 2000m against much weaker but obviously stays well and is another who could go well in the Oaks.

Geoff Woodruff’s coupling of Alexa and Christmas Carol may enjoy the extra test of stamina but will need to make up some ground to challenge.

Alexa had won two of her five starts before going down 4,75 lengths to Heaps Of Fun in the Gauteng Fillies Guineas.

This well bred daughter of Caesour may prove some place bet value for the minor money.

Her stablemate Christmas Carol is another well-bred galloper from Varsfontein Stud and won three on the trot before running 7,40 lengths off in the Gauteng Fillies Guineas.

A daughter of Western Winter, her stakes winning dam was successful up to 2400m and she may well be better than rated.

Tables Johan Janse Van Vuuren and Anton Marcus will be keen to get Negroamaro out of the second box and she is the selection to hold the game Heaps Of Fun, with Frosty Friday and the Woodruff coupling to make up the quartet.

Persian Rug and Noor could be best of the rest. The largely unexposed Polyphonic has drawn wide out and was beaten 6 lengths by Heaps Of Fun in the Gauteng Fillies Guineas.

We don’t know how good she is yet but she beat the very decent Nother Russia byy 5,50 lengths when making her debut and the daughter of Judpot will appreciate the 1800m test.

Eagle Eyes The Prize

C

Cape based superhero miler Captain America returns in defence of his 2015 HF Oppenheimer Gr1 Horse Chestnut Stakes crown at Turffontein on Saturday.

Brett Crawford’s smart galloper won’t have it all his own way and his recent flatfooted third will have some doubting his invincibility.

aptain America is one of our best milers but he has been known to throw in the odd below par effort and his opening 2016 Joburg run when easily beaten at heavy oddson by the relatively inferior Silver Scooter was not impressive.

Fair enough, that was Captain America’s first run in six weeks following his J&B Met third to Smart Call and he would hardly have been at his peak in advance of the Highveld Season proper.

He faces Legal Eagle who beat him 2,90 lengths in the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate but who has his first run in 9 weeks since he chased Smart Call home in the Met. Legal Eagle previously did not produce his best when returning from a break (remember Killua Castle in December?) but is top class and proven over the track and trip.

He gets 2,5kgs from the older horses and this may not be enough against the likes of Legal Eagle and Captain America.

Alec Laird saddles the Bezrin gelding Bezanova, who seldom runs far off but tends to lack a killer blow at the business end.

He may lack a few lengths but is always capable of running a place.

Halve The Deficit is the Tarry second stringer to Legal Eagle and while classy on his day his recent form is not good enough to suggest he poses any form of threat.

Afrikaburn has changed stables from Dean Kannemeyer to Gavin Van Zyln and the son of Trippi’s race record shows that he has his issues.

He has failed to recapture his earlier form and his first run in 6 months was a quiet one three weeks ago.

Improving

The Verdones-Danielson combination is the top trainer-jockey combo in the country at the moment and they team up with Diesel Jet. He ran a 5,20 length fourth in the Listed Drum Star at his last start and is another who will need to up his game a few lengths to be competitive here.

Robbie Sage-trained Light The Way is a solid handicapper who seldom runs a bad race. That said, he finds himself up against it on the weight-for-age terms of this race and looks well and truly held by Captain Aldo on his Wolf Power 1600 effort, where he received 2,5kgs from the winner and ran 1,45 lengths behind.

Legal Eagle and Captain America look set to fight this out and if the Tarry star is anywhere near his best he is likely to take the superhero all the way to the wire.

Ice Machine and Captain Aldo may be best of the rest, while New Predator looks upset material if he puts it in.

The revitalised Captain Aldo has won his last two on the trot – his Gr2 Hawaii Stakes success being particularly eyecatching and earning him a shot at this event.

The Boland Stud bred son of Captain Al still has some ground to break on the top two but is obviously getting better with racing and has won 4 of his last 5 starts.

There will be little to choose between him and the evergreen 7yo Ice Machine on the Hawaii Stakes blanket and the Laird galloper is in prime form at the moment. Anthony Delpech rides him for the first time.

Youngster

Johan Janse Van Vuuren’s New Predator is the only 3yo in the race.

The son of New Approach ran his first ever bad race in the Gauteng Guineas when running handy and then fading right out to finish 11 lengths behind Abashiri.

Gr2 COLORADO KING STAKES at Turffontein last Saturday

Wonder Of The World

T

A gallant front-running effort by the Sean Tarry trained Stonehenge unravelled in dramatic fashion in the closing stages of the R400 000 Gr2 Colorado King Stakes as the Seventh Rock colt shifted in from the whip and bumped runner-up Unparalleled down his inside.

hey weren’t two strides past the post when the objection hooter sounded and the subsequent result reversal came as no surprise to anybody.

Trainer Sean Tarry looked to have laid the perfect tactical trap in the nine horse field and there were going to be no fitness or pace excuses this time for his high-class charge French Navy, who went off a popular 13-20 favourite.

Stablemate Stonehenge, a winner of the 2015 Algoa Cup run at Fairview, was out quickly and set decent fractions coming for home three lengths ahead of his field.

French Navy was quick to challenge but his effort was a largely one-paced show as Bernard Fayd’herbe got stuck into Unparalleled, who went for a rails run.

With Stonehenge galloping relentlessly a shock result looked to be on the cards as Unparalleled chased down his inside.

Under a right-handed whip Stonehenge had the upper hand but he drifted on to Unparalleled with rider JP van der Merwe changing (ill advisedly from the grandstand view) to his left hand.

In the drive to the wire, Stonehenge clung on resolutely to win by a short head in a decent time of 124 secs – but a boardroom brawl looked a certainty.

And so it was, with the Stipes laying an objection. French Navy appears to be a shadow of his former self and finished 1,50 lengths away in third.

The Stipes reported the objection as follows: (B

JC PHOTOS

In the concluding stages UNPARALLELED Fayd’Herbe) was bumped inwards by

STONEHENGE (J P van der Merwe) which shifted in away from the crop. A race review was called by a member of the Stipendiary Board into this incident which was followed by an Objection being lodged by him on behalf of the second placed horse UNPARALLELED (B Fayd’Herbe) against the winner STONEHENGE (J P van der Merwe) on the grounds of interference in the concluding stages.

The Objection Board after giving regard to the evidence put forward by the respective parties, was of the opinion that the result had been effected by this incident and that UNPARALLELED would have finished in front of STONEHENGE had this incident not occurred and therefore upheld the Objection and amended the judges result to read as follows: 1st: 2 - UNPARALLELED - B Fayd’Herbe 2nd: 6 - STONEHENGE - J P van der Merwe STONEHENGE (J P van der Merwe), placed second, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Jockey J P van der Merwe was advised (GF).

Jockey J P Van der Merwe was charged with a contravention of Rule 62.2.7 in that he, as the rider of STONEHENGE, failed to ensure that he did not cause interference to UNPARALLELED (B Fayd’Herbe) in the concluding stages. Jockey van der Merwe signed an Admission of Guilt and a penalty of a Warning was imposed.

Unparalleled is trained by Johan Janse Van Vuuren and has now won 4 races with 10 places from 17 races and R997 600 in stakes.

He was bred by The Alchemy and is by Lateral out of the unraced Elliodor mare, Sublime Surge, a half-sister to Gr1 winning sire Crimson Waves.

Unparalleled was bought back by vendor The Alchemy at the CPYS for R250 000.

Power galloper Stonehenge (JP van der Merwe) holds Unparalleled (Bernard Fayd’herbe) at the line

He was then re-offered by The Alchemy at the KZN Yearling Sale, where he was knocked down to Corne

Spies for R150 000. The recorded purchaser was subsequently amended to Vicky Veeramootoo, who now races

him in a partnership which was restructured in a rather acrimonious public spat recently.

OAKS TRIAL (Listed)

J

Boland Stud have been enjoying a purple patch of winners in recent months and their Captain Al filly The Merry Widow showed her paces to retain her unbeaten record with a facile first stakes victory in the R150 000 Listed East Cape Fillies Nursery at Fairview on Good Friday.

ustin Snaith trained the winner who races in the Drakenstein blue and white.

Audrie Do and Cuveo showed plenty of early pace but it was The Merry Widow who slipped her field under the ever reliable Khumalo and skipped clear to win more easily than the official 0,75 length margin would suggest.

She clocked 69,66 secs for the 1200m. The Merry Widow is a daughter of the outstanding producer Captain Al out of the one-time winning Jallad mare, Miss Kiri, who was purchased by Boland Stud from Koos De Klerk at Yellow Star Stud.

The Merry Widow won her Kenilworth 800m debut in the Cape summer and thus

retains her perfect record after showing improvement to step up and win here at only her second jump. She has earned R134 375 in stakes.

Breeder Eugene Freeman confirmed that The Merry Widow had gone through the 2015 National Yearling Sale ring unsold with a highest bid of R300 000. A deal was concluded immediately after with Kevin Sommerville of Drakenstein Stud and the filly thus qualified for the R77 500 BSA Added Value Stakes Bonus Series.

Freeman was particularly excited by this stakes success as he has a magnificent chestnut half-brother by Var coming up on the National Yearling Sale on 28 April – have a look at lot 213 – he looks a real bomb!

Strydom’s Sheriff Clinches Triple Crown Opener The 2015 Fairview poly champion Gogetthesheriff recovered from a tardy start to storm home and win the opening leg of the newly introduced R600 000 World Sports Betting Eastern Cape Poly Challenge on Monday.

T

he R100 000 WSB East Cape Poly Challenge 1200 looked to be in the bag inside the 100m for the Sham runner Happy Lion, who got first run on the pack in the latter stages.

But JP van der Merwe is riding like a demon since his J&B Met moment of glory two months ago and rode for his life to get Freddie Van Onselen’s chestnut up to win going away.

Jacques Strydom has done an outstanding job with the temperamental 5yo Go Deputy gelding, who originally raced for Mike de Kock in the silks of his breeders, Lammerskraal Stud.

This was Gogetthesheriff’s tenth win and as a versatile performer he looks to be even better suited to the 1400m and the mile of the next two legs.

The second leg of the challenge is the R100 000 WSB East Cape Poly Challenge 1400 on Monday April 18 and the final leg is the R100 000 WSB East Cape Poly Challenge 1600 on Friday May 13.

A bonus of R250 000 will be paid to owner/s of the horse that wins all three legs of the Challenge.

There will also be a consolation bonus of R50 000 to the best performed horse, although only horses who participate in all 3 legs and win at least 1 leg qualify.

The Poly Challenge provides a great opportunity for horses suited to South Africa’s most newly introduced racing surface and it also provides a more distinct platform for horses vying to be named The Eastern Cape’s Polytrack Horse Of The Year – a title won by Gogetthesheriff last term.

at Fairview last Friday

Brian Wiid has been training horses since 1974 and has had some good ones – names like Knife Edge and Cardinal Fury come to mind. While it is early days yet, the Turffontein-based conditioner could have another decent sort on his hands in Bankable Teddy, who ran right away from his eight opponents to win the R150 000 Listed Derby Trial at Turffontein on Easter Saturday.

W

e naturally have to question the depth of the field and the fact that the Wiid colt was receiving 7,5kgs from topweighted Jubilee Line – and that there were no big names in the line-up.

But the manner of Bankable Teddy’s win was impressive enough to suggest that there is much more to come – and after he and Count Tassilo came together at the 400m to do battle, there was only one horse in at as he drew away powerfully from the one-paced Tarry galloper who had nothing more to come.

Stebbins ran on best from some way off to grab second place 4,80 lengths behind the Wiid runner, who clocked 123,71 secs for the 2000m.

Bankable Teddy had been well and truly outpointed when going off at 40-1 behind Abashiri in his post-maiden run in the Sea Cottage Stakes but looks likely to relish the 2450m of the SA Derby and certainly booked a bash at the big one on this showing.

It was a sentimental moment for fans of the winner’s illfated sire Bankable – who produced his first stakes winner almost exactly six years to the day after he had run second to Al Shemali in the 2010 Dubai Duty Free for Herman Brown.

Bankable Teddy was bred by Anfield Sports and is out of the five-time winning Jet Master mare, Harem’s Secret.

He was bought for R175 000 at the National Yearling Sale and has now won twice with 5 paces from his 10 starts with stakes of R222 475.

EASTER DASH at Scottsville last Sunday

T

SA champion trainer Sean Tarry made a flying start to the Gauteng Easter weekend feature programme when he saddled the first two home in the R150 000 Listed Oaks Trial.

The winner Inaninstant rounded off her post-maiden hat-trick with a convincing first stakes victory.

he Tarry armoury across the age and sex spectrum has no end and the yard will be looking forward to the R1 million Gr2 Wilgerbosdrift SA Oaks to be run on Champions Day, 2 April – particularly after this forward showing by two upwardly mobile young fillies.

The race was uneventful with Callan Murray taking Song Of Happiness out to lead from her wide draw and she loped along at a comfortable gallop out front from Samarra and Bajan Fantasy, with Inaninstant tucked away in fourth.

Into the straight Song Of Happiness started to shorten her stride as JP van

der Merwe, riding with great confidence, took the initiative and grabbed a length at the 400m. With Intergalactic in pursuit, Inaninstant continued to gallop strongly and held her advantage to the line – the official margin of 0,30 lengths in a time of 124,21 secs.

Intergalactic was not disgraced and may be the better bet over the extra 450m of the Oaks.

Inaninstant was bred by Maine Chance Farms and is a daughter of champion sire Silvano out of the five-time winning Northern Guest mare, Imperial Guest – who was fast and won only at 1000m.

She has now won 3 of her 5 starts with 2 places and took her stakes earned to R227 750.

Simply Gun To Tape Dashing EASTER HANDICAP (Listed) at Scottsville last Sunday

T

One of South Africa’s top flight sprinters of recent years toyed with his six opponents to win the novelty R100 000 Easter Dash run over 600m at Scottsville on Sunday.

he unique speed contest is run annually at level weights and hats off to Vaal trainer Louis Goosen who had the initiative to bring the brilliant Trip Tease down to the coast for the first leg of his Computaform Sprint prep.

The first cheque of R62 500 is not to be snuffed at and more than covered the petrol money and other incidentals as the outstanding 5yo stretched his legs with a booming late effort to mow them down late under Gunter Wrogermann.

Trip Tease was having his first outing since his abortive Cape summer campaign which ended in him producing his only non-earning career effort in 22 starts when being taken out in running and finishing last behind Gulf Storm in the Gr1 Cape Flying Championship.

But the late addition of a set of blinkers and a composed ride by the underrated Wrogemann were the tonic required to get the Trippi gelding back on the winning track on Sunday.

He turned it on late after pacesetter Zinnavar started running on empty and Trip Tease had plenty in reserve to hold a late lunge by Piano Man to 0,75 lengths in a time of 33,72 secs. A boon for Kimberley racing fans was the news afterwards that Trip Tease will make an appearance in the Northern Cape on 11 April to wind up his Gr1 prepWhile the Easter Dash is not taken into account for handicapping and statistical purposes, it is worth recording that Trip Tease has now won 14 races with 7 places from 23 starts for stakes of R1 359 075.

He cost just R70 000 on the National Two Year Old Sale of his year and was bred by Zandvliet out of the twice winning Complete Warrior mare, Girlish.

T

An enterprising pillar to post ride by Keagan De Melo was the deciding factor in an overdue first stakes win for Sean Tarry’s well-bred 6yo gelding Serissa in the R150 000 Listed Easter Handicap at Scottsville on Sunday.

he talented, albeit slightly inconsistent Serissa, has had his past issues, including a nail in the foot, but is in prime form as a late 6yo and was full value for his peak career win.

Keagan De Melo, deputising for S’manga Khumalo, who had taken an early flight to PE for Monday’s meeting, rode a perfectly judged race and withstood late challenges from Solar Star and No Worries to win by 1,50 lengths in a time of 121,55 secs.

The 2014 Gr3 Cup Trial runner-up’s win rounded off a good weekend at the office for the Tarry yard who enjoyed a feature double at Turffontein just 24 hours earlier.

He was acquired by Chris Van Niekerk’s Rainbow Beach Trading for R300 000 on the 2011 Cape Premier Yearling Sale.

He was bred by Maine Chance Farms and is a son of Black Minnaloushe out of the beautifully bred Scented Royal.

The last principal daughter of the great sire Royal Prerogative still active at stud, South Africa’s ARCSA Champion 2yo Filly of 1988, Scented Royal was a prolific racer and a broodmare of note.

Out of the Gr1 Garden Province Stakes winner Diorissimo, she produced an impressive 17 foals of which 13 won. Scented Royal’s best runners included no fewer than five stakes horses.

Her daughters and granddaughters also enjoyed success at stud – with Scented Royal featuring as the second dam of such stakes winners as past Gr2 Fillies Championship winner Philippa Johnson (Joshua Dancer), outstanding sprinters Sweet Sanette (Jallad) and Franny (Trippi), as well as Gr3 Champion Juvenile Cup hero Sedge (Silvano), and the talented but troubled Silver Salver (Silvano).

Gr2 SENOR SANTA STAKES at Turffontein last Saturday Vaal-based trainer Coenie de Beer celebrated a long overdue feature victory when the unshod Overlord gelding Talktothestars pulled off a sensational win in the R400 000 Gr2 Senor Santa Stakes at Turffontein on Saturday.

A

straightshooting colourful personality, De Beer has been around horses for 43 of his 57 years and while he currently only has nine horses in his string, he told the Sporting Post that he loves the game and the win had given him immense satisfaction.

The De Beer family hail from the Vryburg area and his father Dawie was a successful trainer of feature winners from his base 350km from Joburg.

“He did wonders with the horses he had and taught

me a lot. I started out as a teenager with a day licence riding at Bloemfontein in the days when Muis Roberts was still an apprentice,” reminisced Coenie as he reflected on a memorable day at Turffontein.

We asked if he had felt that Talktothestars could win the Gr2 feature.

“Yes, of course. Nobody tipped him but most of the tipsters I have ever met don’t even have their own cars and have you ever seen one of them buy a round of drinks?” he joked.

As regards Talktothestars’ wellbeing on the day, Coenie

was adamant that there was no magic to training horses.

“There is no secret recipe for training racehorses. Let nobody fool anybody. You can fancy them one day and they disappoint you – the next time they come up on you. The real key in racing is the ability of the horses themselves and the capabilities of the grooms, and I am fortunate in both respects,” he said.

Winning a Gr2 without shoes is something that doesn’t happen too often.

“Speak to Lennie Taylor.

He had a horse than ran unshod and won features – Horatius? A horse’s feet are

very important and there are many skilled farriers. But when I have to pay R500 a pop to have my horses shod and the farrier watches his staff doing the work from a distance, then I have to question the genuine value added.

“The feet are very sensitive and I believe that often damage is done during shoeing and only detected when a horse comes under pressure in a race. Then the deduction is that the horse is not fit enough and more pressure is put on him – aggravating the injury. It is my theory and so far it is working for me. And funny enough, the first horse I ever ran without shoes won!”

Brandon Lerena, who thought he had gone a touch early, rode a cracker and relaxed Talktothestars a few lengths off as Mod Barley cut

out the gallop. At the 250m marker the favourite Lazer Star came out of the pack with Talktothestars and the two went to the line as one.

The De Beer galloper got the verdict by a head in a time of 66,31 secs.

Lazer Star, one of only two fillies in the line-up, ran a gallant race in second, with Pivotal Pursuit rocketing out of the pack to grab third ahead of a hard-ridden Dollar Dazzler, who choked up in running.

Talktothestars is a son of one-time record-breaking Aussie yearling Overlord, himself a son of world champion sire and successful sire-of-sires Danehill, out of a half sister to Royal Academy.

The winner is out of the one-time winning Spaceship mare, Tellittothestars.

He has won 8 races with 4 places from 21 stars for stakes

of R694 475. The winner was bought by the astute Coenie de Beer for R40 000 in a package deal from Scott Brothers: “Talktothestars went through the ring unsold at the National 2yo Sale. I liked him and offered Mr Scott R50 000 for him. But he was in a bad mood that day and turned my offer down. A few months later we did a package deal and Talktothestars was included in it. I knew the family well as I had trained some and they could all run,” he said. And what’s next for Talktothestars?

“We will see what happens next. The Computaform Sprint is not ideal as it is a weight-for-age race. He goes maximum 1200m and I think his best trip is 1000m. For now we will celebrate the win and enjoy the moment,” he said in closing.

Gr3 SYCAMORE SPRINT at Turffontein last Saturday

A Touch Of Favour

I

What do they say about 99 percent of all statistics only telling 49 percent of the story?

History shows the R250 000 Gr3 Sycamore Sprint to be a veritable favourite’s graveyard but we found a smart Australian bred flyer from the Tarry stable to buck that trend at Turffontein on Saturday.

t is a tough old game this – even when the favourites win – and the slate of amply priced winners on the Sycamore honour roll was wiped clean in just over a minute with a dazzling display of tempered speed from the Tarry flyer Tiger’s Touch.

The daughter of imported stallion Where’s That Tiger put her opponents out of their misery with a very impressive late burst to win decisively as 5-2 favourite under S’manga Khumalo, with another good sort from Down Under in the Good Journey filly Sensible Lover making it an Australian-bred exacta.

Trainer Sean Tarry had enjoyed something of a rollercoaster ride up to then with a 1-2 in the Oaks Trial and the disappointment of losing the Colorado King Stakes in the boardroom – on top of an inexplicably relatively mediocre showing from his star, French Navy.

But the Sycamore was a different story with Tiger’s Touch coming from some way off the pace to cut down her opponents with a smooth first stakes victory that suggested she is destined for better things in the equine world of speed.

Coming through at the 300m, Tiger’s Touch simply drew clear to win by 3,40 lengths in a time of 66,75 secs.

Fellow Aussie-bred Sensible Lover made it an Australian bred exacta when she flew late over a distance short of her proven best to grab second ahead of the game mare Easy Lover, who ran a decent race again to secure third.

Seattle Lady ran on for fourth.

The supremely consistent Tiger’s Touch has now won 4 races with 5 places from 9 starts for stakes of R405 625, Tiger’s Touch is the third stakes-winner for her sire Where’s That Tiger, who stood at Evergreen Stud and was exported to South Africa in 2014 after five seasons at stud in Australia.

The impressive chestnut stands at The Alchemy in the Western Cape for a stud fee of R10 000 and boasts 80% winners/runners and 40% stakes winners/runners with his imports Tiger’s Touch is out of the stakes winning two-time winner Brocco Babe (by Brocco) and was retained for racing in South Africa by her breeders, Larry Nestadt and Bernard Kantor.

Commingling Who Gets The Value?

10

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 1st - SUNDAY 3rd APRIL 2016

F

When it comes to tote pools everyone assumes bigger is better. We know that commingling does a good job of increasing pools - or at least looking big.

But for the punter, is bigger better?

We take a closer look at commingling.

or a long time now, horse racing’s customers and fans have been fed the line that what is good for the operator is good for the game, and therefore it follows that it is good for the punter. But that is stringing along a lot of assumptions, and one thing punters know is that stringing things together makes the odds very long and unlikely!

1. The first rule of commingling.

Gambling rules had settled by the time commingling came along, and so new rules had to be added to cater for the new offerings. One rule said an exception would be made for the take out deduction, or the house take, to follow what the “host” tote does.

That was a rule in favour of the local punter because often the local take out is bigger

AMSDEN S AMBLING’S

T

than the commingled host.

Here are some deductions: South Africa 20% Singapore 19% Australia 16.5% UK 16.5% Hong Kong 15.7% New Zealand 14.5% 2. The punter should know where he stands.

Another addition to facilitate commingling of pools was that the punter should not be kept in the dark. This is an excellent idea, but ever punter knows it’s only talk. Since the start of commingled pools one of the biggest bugs is the fact that the dividends change after the race has closed, and even after the race is run. The number of complaints is awesome.

In the USA, the late changes annoyed customers so much that operators closed down computer players minutes before the off to stabilize the dividends for everyone. In some places “late” computer system players got banned

in fairness to oncourse customers.

When it comes to exotics, the poor punter is really left in the dark. Often punters have no idea how they are travelling because ticket updates becomes pure guesswork. Recently the soccer exotic was off while the previous day’s dividend was still anyone’s guess. How is that knowing how you stand?

3. Commingling, the tail wags the dog.

When we are the smaller pool and weaker currency, commingling with a bigger and stronger pool returns a greater stability.

Saftote’s biggest weakness is when it is small relative to international bets that get added, and those bets change the dividends. Poorly supported events and bets that don’t have a following suffer from the effects of a small pool. Often a punter can end up playing to win

mostly his/her own money back and dramatically change the dividends for bets already placed. When SA plays into a huge pool like Dubai or Hong Kong the local player gets stability that is rock solid.

It means you could have a huge bet in Rand terms on horses like JJ The Jetplane and Variety Club in HK and you wouldn’t move the dividend much no matter what.

Unfortunately when a pool merges with us locally, the weakness of our tote allows for a punter playing in Euros or Dollars to become the tail that wags the dog. A medium sized bet in foreign currencies can have disastrous effects on the dividends of the local players, who have no protection. Often the late updates mean the local punters can’t even play to get the benefit of other dividends going bigger.

4. Who are the NETT winners?

When pools are commingled “into” ours, a really interesting question is who are the “nett” winners over time? Sometimes when a dividend just looks wrong, one wonders if we lost in Rands and the flow was a loss

for the local punting pool and a win for someone else.

Is it reasonable to guess that offshore players are playing more for gain than for entertainment value? Do they get a preferential treatment, like the rebate systems in HK, Australia and the USA from Saftote? If some players are playing from higher ground, does that come at the expense of the local punter? These are reasonable questions that deserve answers.

5. The house take (the “vig”, the juice, the cut).

Should punters care about the deductions? Our television gurus often, very often, refer to the stability of big commingled pools as “value”. Clearly value is a different thing completely.

Once the house has set the takeout, say 20% of the pool, “value” can only be found if you are able to get better odds in another way.

If you are a serious or semi-serious player then value becomes everything.

What the deduction is can determine whether you will be a winner or loser. Or just how much you will lose.

In Hong Kong for example,

Old Boy Network - The Pits!

It has been a difficult few weeks with very little racing. It is nice to come back and have two lots of entries in front of me to decide what we are running over the weekend. We have managed to get plenty of work into the two year olds and we are starting to have quite a few two year old runners – a good position to be in, writes Joey Ramsden.

hey are running well and look like a nice bunch.

As they say, no trainer ever killed himself with an unraced two year old in his yard – we live in hope. We seem to take longer than most trainers with our youngsters but I have no interest in 800m and 900m races. I think we take far too long before putting on 1200m races. I think the days of the quick scurries are long gone and fairly pointless but that is only my point of view.

We are starting to get the Durban horses ready and all is good on that front so far. We have had St Tropez, Disco Al and The Conglomerate come back from lengthy holidays.

Fatty Goes To Joburg Brutal Force even managed to catch a couple of weeks out at grass before travelling up

to Johannesburg with trainer assistant Alson Ndzilana. Alson did a smashing job with him last year and we will try and have a go at the Computaform Sprint, all being well. We all managed to survive the Durbanville sale.

I though the prices were pretty decent for what was on offer.

Horses are like paintings: people will only pay what they think they are worth and that was very much the case a couple of weeks ago.

We managed to pick up five and I was extremely happy with the individuals we bought. Maybe the pedigrees were not as strong as we would have liked but we were all more than satisfied with the horses themselves.

I just have the one youngster I need to find owners for. He is a rather nice colt by Biarritz x Darley Rose from Graeme Koster’s Rosedene Stud and I like him very much.

We crack on with more sales, with another exciting CTS sale and, of course, the Nationals.

Down Under There is also the Sydney Easter Sale where I am sure records will be broken. One man who might not be there is champion trainer, Peter Moody, who has – wrongly in my mind – handed in his license after being given a six month ban for a cobalt positive on Lidari.

It looks a ridiculously harsh sentence when given and reading all the facts, Moody’s stature as a trainer and his present and past record. He was one of Australia’s top trainers, a really good bloke and he will leave a huge hole in the industry.

I would have liked him to have taken the Turf Club on. Australia still hold a very strong old boy network in their Jockey Club and I would have liked to have seen them having their backsides kicked. I am sure there were people queuing up to help Peter with the kicking.

He has no reason to give anything to his horses. He has

The Conglomerate an extremely large string and is not that desperate - as he has proven by throwing in the towel and sticking two fingers up at the authorities. What a great loss to Australian racing.

He was one of the great characters and one must also mention all the staff employed by him. I cannot believe that racing’s ruling body put any thought into what would happen to these employees, many of whom must have been extremely fond of Peter. The thought of losing their jobs – and the horses they have cared for and loved over the years – must be a bitter pill to swallow.

Who can forget that this is the man who trained the brilliant mare, Black Caviar. Her string of unbeaten victories in Group races are unlikely to be repeated. www.joeyramsden.com

the effective take out is 15.7% and big losing bets have an additional 10% rebate, that gives a player greater chance to break even, or play longer, than if the takeout is 20% or 25%.

Thinking about value becomes meaningless if the dividend can change significantly after you have placed your bet, and it’s worse if you have no opportunity to respond to big changes. These conditions set you with a big disadvantage.

Commingling requires some analysis.

We need to make sure that (at the very least) things are fair for local punters.

Repetition of words like “value” no longer reassures punters. It’s not enough that very poor information dissemination to punters is brushed off with a sorry for “delayed update” or computer hassles.

South African punters are demanding the information that is guaranteed them by the rules. Every new product make a profit for Saftote off punters.

Decency dictates that those punters should be given a fighting chance with a supply of facts and information as promised.- and in real time!

Spalato Will Run

H

This past Sunday saw the running of the first leg of the 3yo series.

In a big field my main hope Magnum, managed to run second to Conflight.

The winner was cleverly ridder by Oscar Chavez, writes Gareth Pepper. e went to the front, slowed up affairs, and when turning for home skipped and made every post a winning one. Magnum, caught three wide, was asked to respond and took a second too long. By the time he was in full stride the post was fast approaching and he went down by a diminishing neck. He suggested that the 1400m trip of the second leg may prove to be ideal.

Speed

This weekend sees the running of the Kranji Sprint.

As previously reported, Spalato who was successful in the first leg was set to bypass this feature, but the connections have done an about turn. He will thus be taking his place along with some eagerly awaited returns. The first of those is Zac Spirit.

He is vying for a third consecutive victory in this race and has been setting the training tracks alight. Vlad Duric partners him and I am really excited to see how he goes.

Another welcome return to the track is Emperor Max. He has been on the sidelines for roughly seven months and has been looking for a new pilot with Corey Brown sticking with Spalato. He has been trialling in his customary quiet fashIon and let’s hope he returns with a big effort. It looks as though Spalato should have the measure of this field with ease, but we cannot forget that some of our other leading sprinters make their return. It should prove for interesting racing and comes highly reccommended for your Sunday viewing pleasure!

Till next time.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 1st - SUNDAY 3rd APRIL 2016

A thoughtful teacher, a thorough instructor, a gentle hand, a firm guide, a rational yet fearless showman, the greatest compliment that I think could ever be given to someone who works with horses, is to be thought of as a Horseman.

– Becky Hanson for the Pacific Coast Journal

A

local trainer recently told me that when his grooms find what they think is a good horse, they refer to it as a ‘super champion’.

I like the term and have decided to adopt it. If there is such a thing as a super champion trainer then surely there can be no local trainer more deserving of the title than Terrance Millard.

And not only is he a super champion trainer, he is, above all, a horseman.

On 19 March 2016 a plain bay horse named Mission Control won his maiden effort over 1000m at Kenilworth in style. Of course, this isn’t just any bay horse. This bay horse runs in the white, blue and cerise colours of Mrs Nola Rathbone and is owned in partnership by Nola and SA’s super champion trainer, Terrance Millard.

While Mr Millard needs little introduction to SA racing fans, Nola Rathbone may not be quite as well known. Terrance first met Nola Rathbone in 1948 when she came down from Joburg to jump in the Rosebank Show. Nola won everything in sight – although she’s quick to say that Terrance still won the championship.

Nola’s father bred and owned racehorses and she was a top class show-jumper, marrying into the racing industry via jockey turned trainer Ted Rathbone.

Terrance and Nola’s shared love of horses was the beginning of a lifelong friendship that spanned marriages, children and eventually the loss of both their partners. After losing Joyce, a particularly bad time with his back and nearly packing it all in to move into an old age home, Terrance took the advice of his physician that he needed ‘a good filly’ and rang Nola.

She travelled down from PE on 11 November 2011 for a two month trial basis and has been there ever since. “We have lots of fun together,” she smiles fondly, and it is clear that they do.

Everything happens for a reason I bumped into Terrance and Nola ahead of the 2014 CTS March Yearling Sale

and asked whether they were buying. They replied jokingly that at their age investing in yearlings was a risky business as they might not live to see them run! As it turned out, their top pick was withdrawn from the sale last minute and without too much determined interest from any other bidders, they managed to secure lot 241, a colt by Captain Al out of Rei Rei consigned by Klawervlei Stud as agent for R210k.

“He was a pony!” says Millard and Nola nods in agreement. She pulls out a photo album which doubles as Mission Control’s dossier.

There’s his catalogue page and photos of him shortly after the sale, looking a bit pot-bellied and not terribly glamorous if I’m honest, but there aren’t many who will question Millard’s eye for spotting a good horse. Among the collection is a photo of one of Nola’s grandsons holding him and it shows that the colt was, indeed, somewhat challenged in the size department. “He was small, but Terrance really liked him. And he’s grown!” says Nola proudly.

It turns out that Mission Control was bred by Mike Fullard and James Drew, who raced Mission Control’s dam,THE KZN Fillies Guineas winner Rei Rei with Stan Elley. Interestingly, Terrance Millard was at school with Mike’s father and James, Tony Millard and John Koster all went to Bishops, so it’s a bit of a family affair.

Family connection Lee-Anne Drew relates that they purchased Rei Rei from one of Lionel Cohen’s sales.

“There was a big grey Parade Leader that James liked on the sale and he’d bought his horse and went off to the bar. We owned Stone Island at the time, so Mike and I went to look at Rei Rei. She was this little filly with a long coat – a proper Lionel filly – but a fantastic walker and we bought her. In those days, you got wine when you bought a horse. When James got back to the table, he saw the box of wine and asked ‘what’s this?’

I said ‘We bought a horse!’

When James saw her, his first reaction was ‘what have you bought?’, but she ended up a Guineas winner!” she says with satisfaction.

Mission Control “Of course, all Rei Rei’s children are special, but this one didn’t have the greatest of legs and we were advised to sell so he went on Book 2.

John (Koster) is always good about telling us who’s been looking at horses, but had to report that no-one really liked this one, so we’d more or less resigned ourselves to keeping him. We had horses with Gavin Smith at the time and were going to send him to PE. Then he came into the ring and the bidding kept going and we turned around and saw it was Terrance! He said we mustn’t worry about the slack pasterns and Paddy (kruyer) worked hard to sort out his feet and he’s come on nicely.”

“On Saturday James had a couple of missed calls from a number he didn’t recognise before Mike came and said ‘Paddy Kruyer’s been ringing you. Mission Control is running this afternoon and he’s going to win!’ So we all went down to the course to watch him run and it was wonderful.

Rei Rei’s first foal was also a Captain Al, who unfortunately broke down in Kimberley.

She’s got a Jet Master filly in Durban and then came Mission Control. After him she had a very nice Count Dubois filly who’s with Dennis (Drier).

Her Twice Over foal died last year and she’s got a Duke Of Marmalade filly at foot and is currently in foal to Master Of My Fate.”

Mission Control was sent to Terry Andrews (an ex Millard assistant) at Sorrento Stud, before progressing to another of Millard’s ex assistants and long time friends, Patrick Kruyer. Paddy says, “He had a few little faults. He was quite slack pasterned as a young horse and his feet were all different, but over a period of time we rectified that. He had a slight high suspensory issue that kept him from running any earlier, but Terrance knows the game inside out and was prepared to be patient.”

Colours There was a bit of a muddle over the colours on race day and Paddy explains.

“The original agreement was

that the horse would run in Nola’s colours, but when they filled out the form, they put Terrance’s name first, so the Jockey Club registered him in Terrance colours. Fortunately we managed to get it changed before the race.” Nola had a family commitment in the morning and wasn’t aware the silks had changed, so went to the course dressed in the Millard black and silver and was delighted to meet Aldo Domeyer in the parade ring in her silks.

“Colours are important you know! I had colours with my husband which were cerise with a black sash, so I’ve got the cerise sleeves for him.

Terrance’s colours are silver and black, so I chose a silver body for him. I love Mrs Plattner’s colours and really wanted a horse shoe for mine, but the NHA wouldn’t allow it,” she says, mock peeved, “so I’ve got a teal diamond instead.”

Mission Control, looking very smart and well grown indeed, duly dispatched his rivals by a comfortable 2.25. lengths. It provided much excitement for everyone on course, plus a well needed tonic for Mr Millard, who watched from home as he is still recovering after suffering a mild stroke in January.

Well-wishes The congratulations and well wishes that flowed were many and varied and even included a message from Lester Piggott and Lady Barbara FitzGerald. Lester and Terrance have been friends for many years, with Lester having driven some of Terrance’s hackney ponies once upon a time. Among the many photographs carefully arranged on a display table, is a snap of Lester and Barbara with Terrance during their South African trip in January.

While it’s difficult to follow congratulations from Lester Piggott, Mr Millard has trouble hearing over the phone and as I had a book of his on loan that wanted returning and never need much of an excuse to visit, I decided to pop by and offer my congratulations in person.

Over cups of tea and plates of muffins and Terrance’s beloved koeksusters, we discuss all the details, examine the photos and watch the race replay, plus footage of Nola watching the win. “I think he’ll be alright, this fellow” says Millard. Then they tell

me about their other horses in training, show me photos of Nola show-jumping as a young girl and share pictures of Terrance’s pride and joy, his award-winning Hackneys.

We while away the afternoon reminiscing about horses and people we have known and it is a measure of their generosity that despite their many achievements and highlights Terrance and Nola are also interested in my motley crew of horses and what I’m doing with them.

On a previous visit with my laptop in tow, I shared some of my photographs and will always treasure the fact that Terrance was complimentary about my Warmblood mare.

But that’s what horsemen do. No matter what age, profession or nationality, they remain insatiably curious about horses and a horseman’s true currency is stories. Horse stories are our stock in trade and the act of trading them creates shared experiences and defines eras. They are a way to remember, a shoulder to lean on or provide the means to cheer up a friend who is feeling a little blue. In short, they build friendships that last a lifetime.

It is an honour and privilege spending time in the company of horsemen.

STEERING CLEAR

Mike de Kock once again rescued South African pride on the international racing stage with a sterling performance from Mubtaahij who played second fiddle to the awesome California Chrome in Saturday’s Dubai World Cup. “Mubtaahij deserves a US campaign, he’s got a big race in America in him! We may go for the Breeders Cup, but only if California Chrome doesn’t pitch. If he goes East, we”ll go West!” he chirped.

Gr1

Goodbye

Australian Peter Moody has signed off from his training career with a deeply satisfying and emotional win by Flamberge in the Gr1 William Reid Stakes last Thursday.

The meeting was Moody’s last before he starts a six-month suspension for a cobalt offence and he has signalled he has no intention to return to training.

In a reference to his star Black Caviar, he said: “I had the joy of winning it with a special horse and this little bloke’s become pretty special too.”

Cirrus Des Aigles, who was the highestearning European racehorse ever as well as being among the most popular globetrotters of recent times, has been retired. Trained by Corine BarandeBarbe, Cirrus Des Aigles earned over £6 million in prize-money and won Group 1‘s in three different countries including the Dubai Sheema Classic, Champion Stakes, Coronation Cup and Prix Ganay. Such was his reputation for toughness and endurance, the ten-yearold earned the nickname ‘Fighting Cirrus’.

Californi� – Stil� Dreami�’ California Chrome had a quiet Sunday at Meydan Racecourse in the United Arab Emirates a day after his dramatic win in the $10 million Dubai World Cup. Alan Sherman, assistant trainer to his father, trainer Art Sherman, said in an email that California Chrome “came out of his race great.” He won and broke the course record, even though his saddle slipped, creating an awkward situation for jockey Victor Espinoza. The saddle was visibly further down California Chrome’s back when he reached the wire than it was at the start.

America Calls

Alec Laird trained J&B Met winner Smart Call flew to Mauritius on Sunday on the first leg of her journey to America, where she will attempt to emulate her paternal grandmother Banks Hill by winning the Breeders Cup Filly and Mare Turf.

The Mauritzfontein Stud-owned and bred Smart Call is currently rated the joint sixth best thoroughbred racehorse in the world after winning the Met.

GOT THE LOT? Highlands Farm’s red hot young sire Pathfork was represented by his third first crop winner when Red Chesnut Road made a cracking winning debut at Scottsville on Sunday. The Highlands bred colt, a R250 000 buy from last year’s Suncoast KZN Yearling Sale, was said to be catching pigeons at home and trainer Robbie Hill had him ready. He was fitted with blinkers as he apparently sticks up in his work but scorched home by over 7 lengths after shortening from 8’s to 17-10. Is that what they’d call an oldfashioned betting coup?

A Ceres Fighting Invite

Cirrus

Make a day or a long weekend of it and enjoy all that the beautiful Ceres valley has to offer! Boland Stud has issued an invite for you to undertake an excursion to Ceres to view their impressive draft for the BSA National Yearling Sale. The invite stands until 16 April.

Eugene Freeman has requested that interested parties contact him on 084 816 3741 or at eugenefreeman@bolandstud.co.za.

Australian race caller Michael Wrona has been named the new full-time track announcer at Santa Anita Park in the USA. The 49yo, who began his career at age 17 in Australia and has been in America for the last 25 years, has spent the past decade as the announcer for Golden Gate Fields in Northern California. “I’m overjoyed and humbled that Santa Anita is entrusting me with a booth occupied by so few announcers in the track’s storied history,” said Wrona. He was chosen ahead of other world-class international announcers including Craig Evans of the Singapore Turf Club and Racing UK’s David Fitzgerald.

Spies’ Zack Attack

Last term’s Zimbabwe champion trainer Corne Spies has always had a ‘boer maak ‘n plan’ approach and been a fearless innovator in a tough industry. The Gauteng horseman has struck gold with his PE satellite base run by his brother Eric and the team saddled a three timer at Fairview on Easter Monday. This brings their win tally to ten in just over a month – the majority ridden by apprentice Craig Zackey.

Weddin� Bell�

He may hail from a famous racing family and been labelled ‘Basil’s son’, then ‘Anton’s nephew’ and latterly ‘Adam’s brother’ at various times, but Gold Circle’s SA Racing App team member Glenn Marcus can now at last be called ‘Nicky’s Hubby’. On a special Sunday this past weekend he tied the knot in KZN with the lovely Nicky Neethling – daughter of Babette, Graeme Hawkins’ partner. We wish them a long and happy life.

Robbie Miller

There is a lot of truth to the old saying ‘no foot, no horse’. Without sound, healthy feet, your horse is a good as useless.

Although farriery has been around as long as man has domesticated horses, it was not until fairly recently that it has started gaining status as a recognised skilled profession.

While the concept of master farriers is common place internationally, it is taking a while longer to catch on in South Africa.

Someone who is dedicating himself to improving, standardising and formalising the profession is Robbie Miller.

THERE are various pictures that spring to mind when one thinks of the word ‘farrier’. In old English paintings, a farrier is usually depicted working in a hot, grubby forge, with smoke billowing all around him. Reality is something a little more pedestrian - local horses are generally shod ‘cold’ and with it being a physical, grubby job, farriers are often seen as the grease monkeys of the horse world.

Robbie does not conform to the typical farrier image.

Clean cut and tidily dressed in branded clothing proudly displaying his name and qualifications. We meet at a racing yard, where he is gluing shoes onto a horse with particularly difficult feet.

It is an intricate job and he is focussed and meticulous in his work.

About Robbie Robbie was born in Durban on 5 January 1967 and grew up in Pietermaritzburg, although he’s moved around a lot and lived in almost every part of the country that has horses. Both his father and uncle were jockeys, so racing was part of life from an early age.

“My father was an apprentice to Alan Higgins, but he didn’t ride for very long and eventually went into making saddles and bridles for the racing industry.

My uncle (Arthur Miller) apprenticed to Hennie Coetzee and eventually became a trainer” (he is perhaps best remembered for 1994 Gold Cup winner, Stateway). In addition to riding work and taking part in amateur races in Kimberley in the days before it came under NHA rules, Robbie was a keen polocrosse player, making the national squad in 1998.

Hopes to be a jockey were dashed early because of his size, however he still had a desire to work with horses.

After completing his National Service (and attaining rank, he adds proudly), he signed up for the permanent force in Berede, apprenticing as a farrier under Grant Store.

He qualified in 1989 and started out on his own in Port Elizabeth. “I cut my teeth on old man Greeff’s horses. PE was seen as a bit of a last stop, so they used to get a lot of lame horses that us farriers had to try and keep sound.

It turned out to be good schooling and I learnt a lot.”

Transfer to Cape Town He originally came to Cape Town in around 2005 building up clients like Justin Snaith, Plattner Racing and Avontuur Stud. However, a few years later and vastly different personal circumstances saw him about to leave the country.

“I was back in PE, I’d given up the business and was at something of a crossroads.

I’d been offered a position in Dubai and was about to relocate, when Justin rang and asked me whether I wouldn’t come back. It was a new start and I grabbed it with both hands and ran with it. I’ve never looked back.”

Through his relationships with farriers around the country, he also shoes for a lot of visiting trainers while they are in town, including Sean Tarry, Dennis Drier, Mike Azzie and Duncan Howells and for this year’s Met, shod all of Futura, Legislate, Smart Call, Legal Eagle, Paterfamilias and Helderberg Blue amongst others. “It is amazing how many great horses I get to work with – I’m really lucky.”

Robbie also does a lot of work at some of the biggest stud farms around the country as well as doing remedial and specialised work for competition horses.

“Pippa has been an incredible support over the years – I think I’ve been working for Avontuur

for going on 12 years now and no matter where I’ve been in the country, she has always flown me in every month to come and do the farm.” He’s helped nurture Val de Ra and now both her fillies, Dream De Ra and Miss Frankel.

Apart from his passion for his job, the other thing Robbie is passionate about is raising the profile of farriery as a skilled profession and improving the local skill set by joining Robbie Dawson in setting up a new farriers’ association (the South African Association of Professional Farriers / SAAPF and introducing the Farrier International Testing System (FITS) in South Africa.

Game changer It all started in 2002 when Andrew Timm arranged the first farriery competition in South Africa.

“The deal was that the top two farriers got to go to the Kentucky Horse Shoeing School for a month and then on to a competition in Calgary.

I finished second and went over with Scott Borland. It was a real eye opener for me. I met a guy called Chris Gregory who runs the Heartland Horse Shoeing School in Missouri and is considered one of the best farrier educators in the world. We became friends and stayed in touch.

Chris became the 2nd or 3rd American ever to be made a Fellow of the Worshipful Company of Farriers in the UK and in 2009 he became an examiner for them. When Chris developed a farriery exam for Brazil, I suggested bringing it to South Africa and that’s more or less how the FITS (Farrier International Testing System) started.”

In terms of recognised farriery accreditation, there are two main avenues – the British Worshipful Company of Farriers and the American Farriers Association. “FITS is

a sort of hybrid between the two,” he explains.

FITS consists of three levels – after a three year apprenticeship, there’s the Certified Farrier (CF) or entry level, then the Certified Professional Farrier (CPF) qualification and lastly the Advanced Skilled Farrier (ASF) level. Exams are held annually and judged by internationally recognised authorities. At each level, the exam consists of 3 modules and includes a written paper, a practical shoeing portion, and lastly a shoe display and oral (blacksmithing).

The ASF is judged one of the toughest exams in the world and requires intensive anatomy knowledge, taking the qualification a lot closer to the traditional version of the term.

“A lot of people have asked us to drop the forging part of the exam, but I feel strongly that you cannot really understand and perform your job properly unless you can build shoes from scratch.

“It is expensive to bring in international examiners, but we feel it’s important to raise the bar and keep up with international standards.

We’ve had huge support and sponsorship from people like Drakenstein Stud, the Snaiths, Bass Racing and lots of private individuals and it all goes towards helping raise the standards of farriery across the country.”

New Association “We held our first exam in in Robertson in 2010 and it generated a lot of interest.

However, it also reinforced the need to make a serious effort in farrier education in this country. The existing SA Farriers Association had kind of fallen flat and there was a feeling that some of their ideas were outdated, so a group of us decided to set up our own association. We called it the South African Association of Professional Farriers (SAAPF). We spent three years gathering ideas and developing it and it was formally established in November 2015 when we held our international event at Alba in Durbanville.”

Under the newly formed SAAPF, members are required to accumulate a minimum amount of CPD points throughout the year to maintain their membership ( e i t h e r through clinics,

competitions or writing articles for the website).

“You can’t just register and get your membership badge and that’s the end of it,” he says seriously. “People are spending a lot of money on horses and we need to up our game and step up to the plate.”

Competition This is where the competition element of the SAAPF and FITS comes in.

The FITS exams are built around educational clinics and competitions and the SAAPF holds additional competitions throughout the year.

“The goal is to improve the standard of theoretical and practical knowledge across the board. The competition side is something I love and a lot of farriers are getting into it now. It levels the playing fields and means you expose yourself to your peers. It can be a bit of an ego buster, but it’s a good way of improving your skills.”

“Another aspect is that the government is getting interested in having farriery recognised as a professional trade and at some point farriers will need to be qualified according to a recognised system. We would like FITS to be that system, so we are setting the standard high.”

They are getting organised and there is an SAAPF website, a Facebook page, a database of their registered members and regular events across the country. Why has he taken all this on?

“After a race, you see people talking about the jockey, owner, trainer and breeder. Even grooms are starting to be acknowledged.

But we’re also a crucial part of the industry and the end goal is to have farriers recognised as accredited professionals.

It is a fundamental element of any industry to have an organisation that sets the benchmark. We want to provide a way in which farriers and aspiring farriers can learn and improve their skills as well as achieving a recognised accreditation.

“In addition to providing and promoting education it is hoped to become an extremely valuable resource for farriers. All horses have a fundamental right to be sound and have their feet regularly maintained and by providing a platform for discussion, support and tools for furthering education the SAAPF hopes to improve the service provided to the horse.

I’ve got a vested interest because both my sons have joined my practice and this is their future, so I will keep driving it.”

Mick Soldiers On…

A Farmer

H

&

While the Asian Racing Conference in India may have been a matter of the recent past, for those who are accustomed to hearing from Summerhill and Mick Goss on a regular basis, the deafening silence from those quarters may have mystified the folk who were not aware that he had returned from India in a very poor state of health that has seen him confined to hospital three times already.

e was discharged a fortnight ago and placed under ‘house arrest’ by his doctors who banned him from the daily activities of the business which are his lifeblood for the next four to six weeks.

Unfortunately, following further complications he was readmitted on Easter Sunday and remains hospitalised.

Great Efforts

We have received assurances though, that while Mick still has a long way to go, he gets stronger with the passing of every day and on his release from hospital, in conjunction with the Task Team, will still be attempting to make a contribution to the followup work that accrued from Team SA’s efforts at the Asian Conference, which was aimed at reinstating South Africa’s international export protocols so as to facilitate at last the normal movement of our horses out of the country.

It’s many years since this country enjoyed a wave of support from the international community for our protocols since the Conference and much of it has to do with the work of the remarkable team of scientists we now have on board, which has invoked the support of countries none of us expected to arise to our cause.

While Mick’s role will obviously be limited for the foreseeable future, Peter Gibson of Racing SA has already filed a full report to the Task Team responsible for this initiative, and under the chairmanship of Chris van Niekerk, a new battle plan is being formulated in anticipation of what lies ahead.

For what it’s worth, here is a transcript of Mick Goss’ speech at the Conference, which will have resonance with most South African horsemen:

“Chair, Ladies & Gentlemen You can imagine my trepidation as a Zulu farmer, at the thought of addressing the intellectual elite and the business giants of the greatest racing conference on earth. I want you to know though, how grateful we are as a nation for the opportunity to do so. Twenty years ago almost to the day, I debuted as a speaker at this conference in this very room, and it’s a thrill to be back among so many good friends. Thank you so much

for inviting us; in particular I should pay our respects to Winfried EngelbrechtBresges, Andrew Harding and their people for their remarkable organisation, and to Cyrus Poonawalla and his Trojans for their unsurpassed hospitality.

“I grew up in one of the remotest places in Africa, and until that time, I’d never been to India. Racing brought me here. For that matter, I’d never been to the United States or Japan, Australia, New Zealand or Hong Kong. This great sport of ours took me there. It took me to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Macau, Dubai, the Middle East, Argentina and everywhere else this great pastime has taken root. No other endeavour in the world could’ve substituted the life racing has given us, and I dare say that goes for a good many of us in this room.

“I’m here to share a few thoughts with you on South Africa’s place in the pantheon of the world’s quality racehorse producers.

When I first addressed you in 1995, we were home to 545 breeders, 158 stallions, our annual foal crop numbered north of 5000 and I still had a good crop of blonde hair. In 2014, there were 148 registered breeders, 103 stallions, 3400 foals and the decline has left me with very little hair. There’s an old saying that if you want to go prematurely grey and lose your hair, get into horsebreeding or hospitality.

I did both. The attrition was partly due to the international financial meltdown, but much of it has to do with our frustration at the constraints on our exports. It’s a tribute then, to the South African racehorse that despite the reduction in output and the extraordinary demands of our export protocols, our runners continue to excel on the racetracks of the world.

“Since Mike de Kock first pioneered the plunder of the rich prizes on offer in Dubai 12 years ago, South African-trained horses have won 50%, or three of the six events on World Cup night on

at least one occasion, and they’ve come home with a third (or 33%) of the spoils on a further four occasions.

These victories include 6 UAE Derbys, 4 Group One Sprints, 3 Dubai Turfs or Duty Frees and 3 Godolphin Miles. By any standards, with a record that compares with the best anywhere, you’d have to say they’ve boxed well above their weight. Besides, our fellows have won Group One races in the United States, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia in the same time, and only last year Variety Club ranked in the top three racehorses in the world, with Vercingetorix among the top fifty.

“It’s a fact, and I’m sure my good friends John Messara and Peter McGauran will be comforted by their knowledge of it, that the foundations of the great Australian breeding industry were laid with the arrival in Sydney in 1788 of 44 thoroughbreds aboard the First Fleet. They came from Cape Town, so you can imagine what the mighty Australian racehorse might’ve looked like without its South African connection!

“It seems that while there’s been a reduction in our numbers, there’s also been a concentration in the quality, due as much as anything to the vigorous levels of investment South African breeders have made in recent times in saluting the achievements of these horses. For all they’ve done though, they still represent the best value in the world.

To illustrate the point, the average price at South Africa’s two premier sales in 2015 was $21,367 and $38,437 respectively, compared with $200,372 in Australia, $294,973 in America, and $317,967 at Tattersalls in England.

“At the same time, South African horsemen have been loyal and conspicuous supporters of all these international sales, as well as those at Goffs in Ireland and Arqana in France for decades now. For 40 years, we were the biggest buyers of yearlings from Argentina, and we patronised New Zealand staunchly. More recently, there’s been talk among our bigger owners of getting a slice of the Deep Impact pie in Japan and I have a mandate to speak with our Japanese friends while I’m here. I’m sure you’ll concede,

A Warrior!

Ladies and Gentlemen, that we’ve more than paid our school fees.

“For all this, we continue to face major headwinds in getting our horses into the jurisdictions of our trading partners out of an apparent fear that we may export the African Horse Sickness virus.

To get a horse to the Dubai Carnival, for example, takes as much as 6 months, and then they’re expected to compete with the best, which remarkably they do. While I don’t want to downplay the necessity of containing the disease, it’s worth mentioning that during the First and Second World Wars and those of the British empire before that, we exported more than 450,000 horses to those conflicts wherever they took place, without ever infecting the recipient countries.

Indeed, my friends, we have continued to export several hundred horses every year from the various equine disciplines at considerable cost and enormous inconvenience, without ever transmitting the disease anywhere.

“It’s puzzling to me, your Zulu farmer, that despite the technological age and the vast investment we’ve committed to our export facilities, it’s now more problematic than it’s ever been to get a horse out of South Africa. For that reason, I would invite you to listen to the address of Dr Evan Sergeant of Australia, who speaks in place of Dr John Grewar, at tomorrow’s movement session to hear what we’ve done to bring complete comfort to those who have any reservations.

“It seems to me though, that for those of us who reside at the southernmost tip of what the civilised people in the north call the Darkest Continent, it’s sometimes necessary for us to recall our scientific and business credentials in order to inspire some confidence. So forgive me reminding us all that South Africa gave the world its first heart transplant almost 50 years ago; while it’s not everyone’s favourite topic at present, more than two decades ago, we produced an atomic bomb then gave it up and dismantled it without

any fuss; the World Economic Forum’s recent survey of the world’s most admired people included three in the first four with South African connections, one of whom, now in America, is at the forefront in the development of carbon-free motor cars and is a world leader in space exploration. Ironically, it seems on the one hand he’s trying to save the planet, while on the other, he’s found a way to leave it. Also according to the World Economic Forum, for the fifth year in a row, South Africa’s auditing and reporting standards were ranked first in the world, while our financial institutions were 8th out of 140 countries in the Global Competitiveness Survey. It’s a fact too, that our little country has produced more world class companies than any other of its size. In a nutshell, we have a vibrant private sector, and several of them have put their shoulders squarely behind our export initiatives, as has our government.

“Racing, as I said earlier Ladies and Gentlemen, has taken my wife, Cheryl and I to faraway places, and like most of us, it has made us many close friends. It has taken us to the top of the mountain many times, and it has sat us down with the Queen Of England. Racing has shown us that all of us, no matter our beginnings, can make a name for ourselves in this game, and sometimes aspire to excellence. Above all, racing has taught us that you only live once. But if you do it right, my friends, once is enough. Within the four walls of this great room, there is enough political power and scientific influence to assist the South African racehorse in reassuming its rightful place on the racing circuits of the world. For that to happen though, we need your vote.

Just once.”

BSA Bonanza at Scottsville Big week in August

BLOODSTOCK SA have announced that their R1 million races will be run at Scottsville over 1200m and 1600m on Sunday 14 August 2016.

These races are open to all graduates of BSA’s 2015 yearling and two year-old sales, who ‘ticked the box’ for entry into the futurity series.

The races will add to the vibe of the BSA National Two Year Old Sale which takes place on Wednesday 17, Thursday 18 and Friday 19 August 2016.

The venue at Scottsville will be ideal at that time of the year, as both climate and conditions are the best in the country during August.

It is also within easy reach of both KZN and Johannesburg, and the Cape trainers, who

have horses up for the KZN season will have a compelling reason to stay in KZN for a tad longer.

It will be the start of an amazing week, with the Equus awards on the Tuesday evening followed by our National Two Year Old Sale on the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

The sale will host two evening sessions on Wednesday and Thursday evening, with a full day on Friday.

The sale will, similar to 2015, incorporate fillies for stud.

The National Two Year Old Sale has always been very popular with buyers, as an extremely genuine sale, and good value for money.

In 2016 there are two additional reasons why the sale will be even more popular.

All graduates of ONLY this sale,

will be eligible for two races worth R1 million each to be run at Scottsville in August 2017. Both races will be over 1400m, with one for colts, and one for fillies.

Bloodstock SA have been concerned about the weaker market for fillies, and believe that this strategy will add to the attractiveness of purchasing fillies, which will pay dividends for all in the long run.

Vendors will be required to contribute a R 3 000 fee for the race, while buyer’s will be asked to contribute a R 4 000 fee.

Conditions for the races will be announced in due course.

The 2016 National Two Year Old Sale is a sale not to be missed and entry forms are available on www.tba.co.za.

DUBAI WORLD CUP

California Chrome had a quiet Sunday at Meydan Racecourse in the United Arab Emirates a day after his dramatic win in the $10 million Dubai World Cup.

A

lan Sherman, assistant trainer to his father, trainer Art Sherman, said that California Chrome “came out of his race great.”

California Chrome won the 2000m Dubai World Cup on dirt by 3 3/4 lengths in a stellar field, despite a slipped saddle.

The win was worth $6 million for owners Perry Martin and Taylor Made Farms, who race as California Chrome LLC. The 2014 Horse of the Year, California Chrome has won 12 of 21 starts and earned $12,532,650, a record for a North American-based Thoroughbred.

Curlin, the Horse of the Year in 2007 and 2008, earned $10,501,800. He won the Dubai World Cup in 2008 when the race was worth $6 million.

Chicago

Sherman said that California Chrome walked on Sunday and will do so on a daily basis until he is flown to Chicago this coming Thursday. California Chrome will undergo quarantine in Chicago before being shipped to Taylor Made Farm in Kentucky for a rest of three to four weeks, Sherman said.

At the end of April, California Chrome will be flown to California and will rejoin the Sherman stable at Los Alamitos. The 5-yearold is not expected to resume racing until late

summer, possibly in the Pacific Classic on Aug. 20 at Del Mar. The main goal in the second half of 2016 is the Breeders’ Cup Classic at Santa Anita on Nov. 5. On Sunday morning, California Chrome was as low as 4-1 with some British bookmakers to win the BC Classic.

His performance in the Dubai World Cup puts California Chrome firmly at the top of the world’s older male division on dirt.

Racing wide throughout, California Chrome swept to the lead with more than a quartermile remaining under a confident ride from Espinoza.

“I was a little concerned about being so wide, but I knew he was dead fit,” Alan Sherman said.

Alan Sherman travelled to Dubai in late January when California Chrome was sent there, and oversaw the horse’s day-to-day training for two months. California Chrome won his 2016 debut in the Grade 2 San Pasqual Stakes at Santa Anita on Jan. 9 and had a prep race in Dubai in a $150,000 handicap at 2000m on Feb. 26, beating an overmatched group by two lengths.

He had a similar trip against a much-better group in the Dubai World Cup, a performance that rates alongside the 2014 Kentucky Derby as one of his finest wins. www.drf.com

Angel Wins ‘Race Of The People’ & Shortens For Grand National

Rogue Angel produced a game front-running performance to win the Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse on Easter Monday.

T

he showpiece of the Irish Racing Calendar, also known as the ‘Race of the People’ the BoyleSports Irish Grand National was raced in front of a large Easter holiday crowd.

The Mouse Morris-trained eightyear-old led from flag-fall in the hands of Ger Fox with Ruby Walsh travelling well on board Bless The Wings.

Bless The Wings hit the front after jumping the final fence, but 16-1 shot Rogue Angel roared back tenaciously to win a thriller by a short head. Ballyadam Approach was third with Folsom Blue back in fourth.

“I’m still pinching myself - I can’t believe it.

This is my local track and I’m just trying to take it all in, it’s brilliant,” said Fox. “I’ve only ridden him twice and he’s given me a Kerry National and an Irish National. What he has is guts and when he got headed, he battled back and got back up again. He never gives up.”

Morris, who rode Billycan to win the Irish National in 1977 and trained Hear The Echo to claim the prestigious prize in 2008, paid tribute to his late son Christopher, who died

last summer from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning while travelling in South America.

“It’s unbelievable. Tiffer (Christopher) was looking down on me today. He helped me there. That’s just special,” said Morris.

“I gave Ger no instructions. He knew the horse as he had rode him in Listowel and won a Kerry National on him, so there was no need for instructions.” William Hill cut Rogue Angel to 33-1 from 66-1 for the Grand National at Aintree next Saturday 9 April, with Ladbrokes halving him in price to 25-1.

We are massively proud of Mubtaahij tonight,” said Mike de Kock after the game four-year-old and his partner Christophe Soumillon grinded their way into second in Saturday’s US$10-million 2016 Dubai World Cup, beaten three-and-three-quarters in the 2000m dirt spectacular by US star, California Chrome, ridden

by Victor Espinoza.

tell you, we were beaten by some racehorse. California Chrome had to race wide throughout and his saddle slipped in the race, but look at the convincing way he won. We’ll happily take our second to the best dirt horse in the world. We are over the moon!” Mike enthused.

Reversal Mike, who had told the media and Mubtaahij’s supporters to expect his best on World Cup night, was vindicated and he commented: “I couldn’t have the Super Saturday results.

Mubtaahij reversed the form of the Maktoum Challenge Round 3 with Special Fighter and Gun Pit. “Christophe and I discussed

the Dubai World Cup at length this week and we envisaged what would happen. We were keen to lead the race, to make the pace if we had to. As it happened he jumped well, found a dream passage on the fence and settled in the running.

“Mubtaahij stays very well and he fought all the way for a well deserved second, congratulations to Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum and well done to Christophe for a super ride.

He masterfully got into that spot on the inside fence.”

No Plans While Mike said that no immediate plans were in place for Mubtaahij next, the form of this renewal of the Dubai World Cup is likely to carry much merit. California

Chrome set a new track record in winning, and in the process became the alltime leading money earner in North American racing history.

“Today it proves how he can run when he’s 100 per cent, said Espinoza, who scored his first Dubai World Cup win in his fourth try. Last year he (California Chrome) finished second and it was not very fun. My goal after winning the Triple Crown was to win the Dubai World Cup and we did it.”

“He is a once in a lifetime horse,” trainer Art Sherman said. “It (all-time leading US earner) was a goal in the back of my mind. You think of all the great trainers in the history of this game and you really appreciate that it happened to us.” www.mikedekockracing.com

Recuperating at National Stud before decision made on her future

Top Filly Retires

R

In a shock development, star former Cape based 4yo filly Cold As Ice has run her last race.

The Avontuur-bred daughter Of Western Winter did a tendon in the All Weather Championships at Lingfield on Friday.

idgemont Stud spokesman Craig Carey confirmed in a telephone interview with the Sporting Post that Cold As Ice had been injured.

“She was an outstanding race filly and the owners are naturally bitterly disappointed. But these things happen in racing and a decision will be made on her future once she has recuperated at the National Stud,” said Carey.

Cold As Ice was a leading 3yo of her year when raced out of the Joey Ramsden yard for Kathy Finch and Belinda Kieswetter and is best remembered as a gallant and desperately unlucky loser of the Gr1 Majorca Stakes on Met Day 2015.

She won five of seven starts in SA, including the Gr2 Choice Carriers Championship and the Gr2 Sceptre Stakes before being exported to race out of the William Haggas yard in the UK. Cold As Ice had four starts overseas, winning once and being placed twice. Despite racing

from a wide draw, she was fancied to go close to winning on Friday. She showed excellent pace and was challenging strongly in the straight when abruptly shortening her stride. She finished fifth – but the damage had been done.

While a top-notch sprinter, there was plenty of debate as to her best trip and many felt it was sheer brilliance and her heart of a lion that carried her at a mile.

Cold As Ice was purchased on the 2013 Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 for R875 000. She is by Western Winter out of the lightning fast seven time winning National Assembly mare, Viva.

Breeder Avontuur’s Pippa Mickleburgh, who has followed Cold As Ice’s career with fervour, said that her heart went out to the owners.

“Freak accidents can happen and the whole Avontuur team are shattered by this terrible news. She has made us all so proud and we know she will be well looked after and receive the very best treatment possible,” she said.

Greyville 23rd March

They raced on both surfaces on Wednesday afternoon. The 3yo SILKEN in the maiden event over 2000m (turf) was the best bet on the card for many and she didn’t let down her supporters.

Racing much closer to the pace than she had done in her previous three outings, the daughter of Silvano ran on stoutly in the home straight and just as if scripted she got up in the dying strides to deny the 25/1 shot AVENTURINE. Two of the three races on the poly track were run over 1400m and the fastest of these was the MR74 Handicap in which the 8yo CHILL registered his fifth career victory.

As per usual up with the speed, the veteran kept on determinedly over the final 400m and in a race where half a length covered the first six home, he got the verdict by the narrowest of margins.

A maiden plate over 1600m (poly) had opened up proceedings and here we saw a very comfortable victory for the easy to

back TOPOGRAPHY. Freely available at 12/1 in this her first start in the province, the Visionaire filly made all. She was a length and a half clear coming off the bend and cruised clear in the straight to score by five and a half.

Another to win with authority on this card was BEAT THE RETREAT in the boy’s division of the progress plate over 1300m (turf). Sent off a strong favourite at 13/10, Alistair Gordon’s charge raced fourth during the early part of the race. He put his head in front shortly after passing the 300m marker and with plenty in hand went on to score by five and a half.

TITBITS The 3yo SOLDIER’S CODE won the maiden plate over 1400m (poly) going away by four and a quarter.

Five of the eleven races on the inside track on Thursday were run over 1200m, and the fastest of these was the Juvenile Plate for the boys in which JIFFY kept his unbeaten record in-tact. Sent off second in the betting market at 22/10, Erico Verdonese’s charge was caught for early toe and raced sixth of the seven early on. Once into stride though, he quickened well and won going away after striking the front 250m from home.

Race nine on the card was a MR90 Handicap and extending his unbeaten sequence to four here was the Alec Laird trained CHEPARDO. Content to race in midfield in what proved to be the fastest of the three 1700m events, the Trippi gelding made his move 600m out. He struck the front going through the 300m and comfortably accounted for the fancied COCKADE by a length and a half.

The faster of the two 2000m races was the MR72 Handicap won by KINAAN. In touch throughout, Mike De Kock’s charge ran on strongly at the business end of the race and despite shifting around in the latter stages, he just held on from the running on STREAK. The runner up came from the rear and

Three Wins In 8 Days Fairview 25th March PACIFIC SPIRIT always looked to be a good thing in the opening juvenile plate at Friday’s turf meeting and so it proved to be. Always deep in the red, Yvette Bremner’s charge was soon at the head of affairs. He led throughout and won with some in hand from the consistent ZEVENASTIC by three.

The East Cape Nursery over 1200m topped the bill and here we saw a very smart performance from the visiting THE MERRY WIDOW. Sent off a strong favourite at 17/10, the daughter of Captain Al was soon up handy.

She put her head in front as they approached the 450m marker and after quickly going clear she was eased right down to score by just three quarters.

The faster of the two 1000m events was the MR71 Handicap in which VELVET VERONA

gained his third victory in just 8 days. Freely available at 5/1 on the off, the joint second favourite attempted to make all. He was headed

by ARCSIGN going through the 400m, but fought back gamely late on to win by three quarters.

Quickest home in the two 1600m events was MAGICAL BET when registering his third career victory in the MR64 Handicap.

Positioned in midfield at the top of the long home straight, Glen Kotzen’s charge ran on stoutly over the final 600m and in what proved to be a real thriller he got up late to deny the always handy LAWS OF SUCCESSION. TITBITS The 3yo SWEET SURRENDER won the maiden plate over 1200m going away. This was the fastest of the afternoon’s three 1200m events.

by FAST AND ROCKING when landing the girls’ division of the juvenile plate. Having only her second career outing here, the daughter of Curved Ball was soon up handy.

She was ridden to lead shortly after passing the 300m marker and went on to score with authority by three and a half.

We Wonder...

What Might Have Been?

Throughout history, there have been a number of extremely promising sires who died after leaving just a couple of foal crops behind. While we will never know the true extent of their loss, there are some prematurely deceased stallions whose loss appeared to have been truly detrimental to the thoroughbred.

Here are just a few examples of potential star sires who died too soon, writes Sarah Whitelaw.

TROY

(Petingo - La Milo) Brilliant winner of the1979 Epsom Derby winner, Troy spent just four years at stud, before dying of peritonitis at Highclere Stud (he had been syndicated for £7.2 million at the end of his racing career). In a limited stud career, Troy left behind Gr1 Irish Oaks winner Helen Street and Gr1 Prix Vermeille winner Walensee.

Helen Street is the dam of ill-fated G1 Dubai World

Cup winner Street Cry and second dam of French Derby winner Shamardal –with both Street Cry (Machiavellian) and Shamardal (Giant’s Causeway) having since gone on to be outstanding sires and successful sire of sires.

Walensee also produced a top class performer in Gr1 Ascot Gold Cup hero Westerner (Danehill), while Troy’s son Tropular is the sire of French Derby winner Ragmar (another Troy son Trojan Fen is sire of 2000 Guineas runner

up Lucky Lindy). Troy is also damsire of Epsom Derby winner Oath (Fairy King) and former globetrotting champion Pilsudski (Polish Precedent).

SHERGAR

(Great Nephew - Sharmeen) Famously kidnapped (and presumed to have subsequently been killed), Shergar completed just one full season at Ballymany Stud before being abducted. A brilliant 10 length

winner of the 1981 Epsom Derby, the charismatic Shergar is widely regarded as one of the most brilliant Derby winners of all time. However, he did not receive the chance to stamp himself as an equally top sire –with Shergar being kidnapped shortly before he began his second season at stud. His sole crop of foals did include Gr1 Irish St Leger winner Authaal and classic placed filly Maysoon.

DUBAI MILLENNIUM (Seeking The Gold Colorado Dancer)

The mighty 2000 Dubai World Cup winner failed to complete his first season at stud, before being felled by a fatal bout of grass sickness.

However, his 35 foals to race included 3 group winners, including triple G1 winner and subsequent outstanding

New Stallion Off The Mark - CURVED BALL

Can’t Catch The Curved Ball!

T

Klawervlei’s beautifully bred young sire Curved Ball got off the mark at the Vaal on Thursday afternoon, producing an eyecatching first winner.

he former Gr2 Dingaans winner’s maiden success as a sire came in the form of the Devin Little trained Fast And Rocking, who cruised home to land a juvenile plate over 1200m by an emphatic three and a half lengths.

She had the smart-looking debut winner Kahula well beaten in third.

Bred by Cathy and Jonathan Martin of Hadlow Stud, the filly Fast And Rocking, who was making just her second racecourse appearance, is owned by Miss M Van Wyk and is a R30 000 Emperors Palace National 2yo Sale purchase.

Fast And Rocking’s sire Curved Ball was a top class racehorse, who won both

the Gr2 Dingaans (over Gr1 standouts Galileo’s Galaxy, Exhilaration, Smanjemanje and Bulsara), and the Listed Sea Cottage Stakes in a brief racing career.

His sire Fastnet Rock, one of Danehill’s finest sire sons, was a former Australian champion sprinter and is a multiple champion sire, whose 20 plus G1 winners include the likes of Atlantic Jewel, Amicus, Diamondsandrubies, Fascinating Rock, First Seal, Wanted, and G1 Investec Oaks winner Qualify.

Fastnet Rock is also looking like becoming a top class sire of sires, with his young sires Hinchinbrook and Stryker both having already sired Gr1 winners.

Curved Ball, whose dam is by multiple champion sire Zabeel,

is from the same family as Gr1 Golden Slipper winner and champion sire Marscay.

This promising young sire, who stands for an R8000 fee at Bush Hill Stud in KZN, is well represented at next month’s Emperors Palace Select Yearling Sale.

Curved Ball’s five lots destined for the Johannesburg Sale include: Lot 26 – a half brother 2 to stakes placed winners, this colt is out of a Goldkeeper daughter from the family of G1 winning sprinter Shoe Shac- who, like the colt on offer, is by a Danzig line horse. Also the family of Mauritian star World Focus and this season’s millionaire 3yo Victorious Jay Lot 37 – a half brother to 6 winners, this colt is out of a five time winning Badger Land half

sister to two top class graded 2yos. The family of champion, July winner and G1 sire and broodmare sire Bush Telegraph Lot 135 – bred on the successful Fastnet Rock/ Sadler’s Wells cross, this filly is out of a seven time and feature race winning daughter of international champion and outstanding sire Singspiel. This well bred filly’s second dam is a Gone West half sister to dual G1 Pacific Classic winner Tinners Way Lot 142 – a half sister to a winner, this filly (inbred to the great Danzig), is out of a stakes placed daughter of champion sire Captain Al, while her second dam is a G1 2yo, who is by emerging broodmare sire National Emblem Lot 174 – out of a G3 three parts sister to feature race winner King Neptune (and bred on the potent Danzig/Roberto cross), this filly is from the same family as the G1 winning siblings Stellite and Zirconeum.

sire Dubawi. The latter has more than 20 Gr1 winners and 100 odd stakes winners to his credit, including promising young sires Makfi and Poet’s Voice, as well as a plethora of young, unproven sire sons. Only once defeated (when failing to stay the Derby’s 2400m trip), Dubai Millennium was one of the most brilliant thoroughbreds of his generation.

MOZART

(Danehill - Victoria Cross) Britain’s Champion Sprinter of 2001, and winner of both the Gr1 July Cup and Gr1 Nunthorpe Stakes, Mozart was another brilliant performer who died too soon.

By one of history’s greatest sires in Danehill, Mozart (who ran second to SA sire Black Minnaloushe in the 2001 Irish 2000 Guineas) is out of a daughter of Broodmare Of The Year Glowing Tribute.

Sadly, the champion died of colitis, after completing just one season at Coolmore Stud. This crop of 86 foals included 58 winners, with Mozart’s eight stakes winners including Gr1 Middle Park Stakes winner Amadeus Wolf, and three other group/graded winners.

Mozart’s son Dandy Man is the sire of Gr1 Hong Kong Sprint winner Peniaphobia, and Mozart is also broodmare sire of young sire and Gr1 Breeders’ Cup Turf hero Magician (Galileo).

NORTHERN METEOR

(Encosta De Lago - Explosive) A Gr1 winning sprinter who won the Ascot Vale Stakes, Northern Meteor (also his sire’s best sire son) is a son of Fairy King’s best sire son Encosta De Lago and from the same family as Sadler’s Wells and Fairy King himself. Sadly, the stallion, who spent his stud career at Widden Stud in Australia, died after completing just a few seasons at stud.

A former Leading First Crop Sire in Australia, the ill-fated Northern Meteor’s 19 stakes winners include no fewer than six Gr1 winners,

9 YEARLINGS

including young Australian sires Shooting To Win and Zoustar. Another son Deep Field, a full brother to Shooting To Win, covered over 150 mares during his first season at stud.

COLORADO

(Phalaris - Canyon) Out of a mare who won the 1000 Guineas, the talented Colorado is regarded as one of the finest sons of the great sire Phalaris. His wins included both the 2000 Guineas and Eclipse Stakes, with Colorado’s seven other victories also including the Coventry Stakes at two.

Sadly, the blue blooded Colorado died after just two seasons at stud, but his offspring included Hyperion’s Gold Cup conqueror Felicitation and Eclipse Stakes winner Loaningdale.

A son of Colorado, Furrokh Siyar sired Queen’s Plate hero Arabian Night II.

BOLD REASONING

(Boldnesian - Reason To Earn) Winner of both the Jersey Derby (once a Gr1 race) and Withers Stakes, the ill-fated Bold Reasoning (who also set a track record over 1200m) had just a couple of seasons at Claiborne Stud before his premature death (due to an accident in the breeding shed).

However, he ensured his own immortality by siring US Triple Crown winner and US Champion Sire Seattle Slew, whose own numerous high class sire sons include champion sire A P Indy and champion 2yo sire Capote.

Another important son of Bold Reasoning was French G1 winner Super Concorde (won Gr1 Prix Morny, Gr1 Grand Criterium), who, ironically, himself also died young.

Super Concorde also made his mark on the breed, siring top sprinter, and Gr1 July Cup runner up, Big Shuffle, who was champion sire in Germany and who sired fellow German champion sire Areion and former leading first crop sire Auenadler.
