Anton Marcus rides the progressive Executive Power

Gr3 Byerley Turk PAST WINNERS

Gr3 BYERLEY TURK at Greyville on Friday

2011

The Greyville Friday evening double feature serves as a tasty aperitif for the KZN Champions Season and should get the juices flowing with the visitors starting to show their hands – and the locals likely to find out where they stand in the scheme of things with their own hopefuls.

he sobering thought of only seven races on the programme is outweighed by the quality on show and the fact that both of the headline events are on the turf. Recent history shows that this event is dominated by the visitors and Justin Snaith will be looking to follow up his success last year with Heartland.

Decent Duo

The Cape trainer has a decent hand with impressive Met day winner Baritone and the rested Aspara. Baritone won three in a row early on and finished on top of Noah From Goa in the Cape Guineas. He won’t be anywhere near his peak but may have the class to take this lot out – even from his less than desirable draw. The beautifully bred Aspara was slightly disappointing in the Cape Summer and this is likely to be a prep after a 13 week break from action. Mike Bass and Grant Van Niekerk have enjoyed a good

run and Ernie steps out as their first runner locally this year. The son of Elusive Fort won the Listed Sophomore Sprint but has not seen action since an unplaced run in the Million Dollar some ten weeks back. Another runner out of the Million Dollar is Vaughan Marshall’s Victorious Jay. The son of Jay Peg looks way above average on his fringe efforts to the best of his year and is a nice inclusion if anywhere near fit and adapting to the right-handed turn.

Capable

Gavin Van Zyl’s duo of Redcarpet Captain and Budapest are both capable at best. The former is a course and distance winner but was comprehensively beaten by Beat The Retreat last time and he has drawn wide. Lanzerac RTR Stakes winner Budapest was outclassed in the Cape Guineas and is likely to need this after an absence of 15 weeks. Sylvester The Cat was

considered good enough to travel to the Cape for their summer but had only two blank runs. He bounced back with a good win last time when beating the rated Bulleting Home with ease. He beat Dean Kannemeyer trained Mambo Mime by 4,50 lengths and the latter should strip fitter – even though he looks likely to be better over a little further. Beat The Retreat and Executive Power look the two most likely local chances of success. Beat The Retreat annihilated the Gr3 Cape Of Good Hope Nursery winner Captain Chaos at Greyville last time and the extra 100m looks well within his scope.

Double

Mike Miller saddled a feature double on Sunday and he will be looking for more with Executive Power. The lightly campaigned son of Warm White Night beat Monte Christo on the poly at his last start and while that one failed to frank the form next time, the services of Anton Marcus suggest that there are big plans ahead.

Spanish Captain has not drawn well and while he has won on the turf, his better recent form is on the polytrack. He is a fellow with good gate speed but has a few lengths to find on these weight terms. Johan Janse Van Vuuren has had a frustrating time of things on the feature front and he is in town with the Ideal World gelding Irish Pride. There has been talk about him being better than his form but even though well drawn, he will have to do better than his unplaced MR

80 Handicap effort behind Kangaroo Jack last time. Wide Bunker Bill is the second of the Alistair Gordon duo. The runaway maiden winner has not quite delivered further on that promise and is badly drawn. Mr Roy looks to have it all to do but was stakes placed as a 2yo and is beautifully bred. Exotic backers will need to go a little wide – Baritone is classy but drawn wide, while Beat The Retreat and Executive Power are two promising locals who will be keen to assert their status.

Then what about Victorious Jay? He has been thereabouts and within spitting distance of a big win.

A War Horse

FRIDAY’S Greyville feature for 3yo males is named in honour of a fiery Arabian stallion, Byerley Turk. The record books tell us that he was a horse of elegance, courage and speed, and was the earliest of three Oriental stallions who between them would become the progenitors of every living thoroughbred. The Byerley Turk was the great great grandsire of King Herod (b c 1758), the Darley Arabian the great great grandsire of Eclipse (ch c 1764) and the Godolphin Arabian the grandsire of Matchem (b c 1748). His name is recorded in the General Stud Book as the Byerly Turk, however, the correct spelling is Byerley Turk, after the name of his owner, Colonel Robert Byerley (1660-1714). There is considerable speculation about the origin of the Byerley Turk. However, there is no evidence to support either his importation or the notion that he was foaled in England. C M Prior speculates that his origin was probably similar to that of the Lister Turk who

brought to England about 1687, by the young Duke of Berwick, who had joined Charles of Lorraine’s forces in wresting Buda from the invaders. It is quite probable that the Byerley Turk came from the same siege, as his owner was a Captain in the army. The early versions of the General Stud Book note that both man and horse were in Ireland and that the Byerley Turk raced at Downpatrick on his way to the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. When Colonel Byerley retired from military service, the Byerley Turk went to stud, first at Midridge Grange, then, from 1697, at Goldsborough Hall, near Knaresborough, North Yorkshire. Although he did not cover many well-bred mares, he did well with his opportunities. While his best sons were Basto and Jigg, his other offspring included a number of good runners, such as the Duke of Rutland’s Archer, the Duke of Kingston’s Sprite and Lord Godolphin’s Byerley Gelding.

Gr3 UMZIMKHULU STAKES at Greyville on Friday

The fairer sex feature at Greyville on Friday evening looks a shade more complicated than the boys’ equivalent and first time under lights and a lack of familiarity on the track could play a key part in the outcome. There are some class sorts in the line-up and a thriller could be on the cards.

ustin Snaith sends out a strong coupling in the R250 000 Gr3 Umzimkhulu Stakes and his duo is headed by the highly vaunted Dynasty filly Bela-Bela who comes off a rest of 12 weeks following an excellent third to subsequent Met winner, Smart Call. While she won over 1000m on debut and will

not find this too short, one wonders about inexperience and the novelty of a strange track and floodlights.

On The Up

Her stablemate Star Express has drawn wide and was 1,35 lengths further back to BelaBela in the Paddock Stakes. She looks a good filly in the making. Gavin Van Zyl saddles the

beautifully bred Silvano filly Bella Sonata, who but for a 15 draw, would have been a strongly fancied first choice. Ideally distance suited, she won well at her first Greyville turf start last time out and if her not disgraced efforts in the Three Troikas and Gauteng Fillies Guineas are ignored, her form is excellent. The New Zeland bred Killer Woman has won 3 of

Journalist David Mollett recently had to undergo two ops to get his knee right and is now recovering at home and on crutches. The medical costs are overwhelming and as a freelancer, Molly is not earning while unable to work. Paul Lafferty commented on his "Winning Ways" show on Tellytrack: "We need to get behind Molly - one of the characters of racing." Linda Mannie is managing the fund for Molly's appeal and she can be contacted on e-mail: Bushsolutions@gmail.com

2011

her 6 starts and is a filly on the up. The daughter of Rip Van Winkle ran a cracker last time beating the talented male Run Rhino Run and may be a more serious threat than her rating would suggest. She has not run for 14 weeks, so ringrustiness could be an issue.

Experienced

Trini’s Collateral finished well back in the Flamboyant Stakes and gave Bella Sonata 3kgs when beaten 2,50 lengths by her last time. The daughter of Lateral has experience on her side but will be tested in this company. Doug Campbell’s Gr3 Flamboyant Stakes runnerup Lala had excellent KZN form before an abortive raid into Gauteng for the Fillies Guineas at the end of February. She is well drawn and must have a shout back on home turf again. The Glen Kotzen yard have been in good form of late and they saddles a coupling, which is headed by Cape Fillies Guineas runner-up, Our Destiny. Stuart Randolph rides the daughter of Var who was admittedly beaten 5 lengths by Silver Mountain in the fillies classic. She has not run in 13 weeks since fourth behind Eventual Angel in a Conditions Plate and may need the outing. Trip To India has her first run for Kotzen under transfer from the John Vos yard. Placed close up third in the Listed Swallow Stakes, she has her first outing beyond 1200m and the lights and turn are possible impediments.

No Luck

Mike Bass and Grant Van Niekerk have had no early luck with the Greyville draws and the Trippi filly Taffety Tart will endure a baptism of fire at Greyville from the 13 draw. She comes off a ten week break following an unplaced effort behind stablemate Inara in the Gr1 Majorca Stakes but ran excellent places behind another stablemate in Silver Mountain in both the Choice Carriers Championship and the Cape Fillies Guineas. She must have major place prospects if adapting to the lights and the right-handed track. Trainer Neil Bruss had a good winner at Scottsville last Sunday and his Go Deputy filly Flying Ice looks to be finding her better form at the right time. A stakes course and distance winner, she had four starts in strong company down in Cape Town in the summer, and rounded off her campaign with a smart second in the Gr3 Prix Du Cap behind Cuuvee Brut. She is perfectly drawn at 1 and must be a serious runner at best. Dean Kannemeyer’s Fromafar has the advantage of having had one start in KZN already and even though beaten as a 15-10 favourite by outsider Queen’s Advance she will have come on with the run unde r the belt. Her task remains a tough one.

maiden at her third start. She is not too well in here with the higher rated gallopers but the yard must think something of her to have brought her down for the season. Another daughter of Dynasty is the lightly raced Cheveley Stud-bred Skip A Beat who has won 2 of her 4 starts in Cape Town and has her first outing in KZN. She looks to have plenty of scope. Anton Marcus is an interesting jockey engagement for Lucky Houdalakis’ Joan Ranger, who has her first Greyville run after winning well at Scottsville at her last start. The daughter of Horse Chestnut was placed in the Gr3 Starling Stakes earlier on behind the recently exported Madame Dubois and has a touch of class – without the rating to match. Well drawn, she warrants inclusion.

Wide Open

Bella Sonata and Bela-Bela look the two to fight it out but Taffety Tart and Flying Ice warrant inclusion. The Joan Ranger has done little wrong and is ridden by the master Anton Marcus. Killer Woman is another for the quartets.

Abashiri (Karl Zechner) sets up a Triple Crown date

Gr1 SA CLASSIC at Turffontein

last Saturday

While South Africa’s own national currency may have hit all-time lows in recent months, the brightly ascending star of Mike Azzie’s sensational Go Deputy gelding Abashiri continues to soar.

he Lammerskraalbred took his next step to joining the illustrious lights of Horse Chestnut and Louis The King as our likely third Triple Crown winner with a stunning showing at Turffontein on Saturday. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. This outstanding 3yo’s trainer Mike Azzie has done that often enough to his own detriment and we all know how this game tames

lions. The Azzman mentioned his charge in the early days already as a galloper of the same ilk as his ill-fated sprint champion National Currency. And if we didn’t believe him previously, Abashiri is quickly convincing us as his veteran trainer has allowed him to do his own talking – on the track. His win in the second leg of the SASCOC Triple Crown on Saturday was pure clinical demolition. But then again, so was his win in the first leg at the end of February.

Taking off with 400m to run in the R2 million Gr1 SA Classic, the oddson Abashiri simply toyed with his opposition to give regular pilot Karl Zechner and passionate owners Adriaan and Rika Van Vuuren, who boosted the on-course attendance with their own supporter’s party, a memorable first Gr1 winner. And let’s not forget South Africa’s most vocal and public spirited jockey agent, Desmond Zacpack Zackey! The SA Classic form looks

strong too, on a line through Brazuca. Abashiri beat the Cape Guineas and Investec Cape Derby runner-up by a hefty 3,75 lengths in a time of 108,94 secs. Fair enough the MR 88 rated Tarry charge Samurai Blade ran third – but something had to, and Abashiri could have doubled the escape margin if pushed by Zechner – and ‘’Aba’, as is his wont, lost his customary ground by showboating towards the outside rail in front of the grandstand in the latter stages. The merit of the win was outlined by an emotional Mike Azzie who told of a bad injury suffered by Abashiri three weeks prior to the race.

He had expected his charge not to make it to the course for the Classic and also admitted that his family deserved credit for putting up with him – ‘I have been an impossible person to be around these past three weeks’. “Adriaan (Van Vuuren) nearly wanted to bite my head off and asked how these things happen. But we tubbed and poulticed him and went back to the drawing board. He was a fit horse and they don’t lose that. So we gave him eight day’s box rest which only left him ten day’s work into the race.It worked out well,” he said with obvious relief. Azzie said that the last time he had seen a horse draw away from his field like Abashiri had

done was Horse Chestnut. “But I am not saying that he is that good – yet! He has plenty to prove still,” he said in a rare show of caution. Abashiri was bred by Lammerskraal Stud and is a son of Go Deputy out of the seven time winning Elliodor mare, Donya, who won from 1200m to a mile. Abashiri cost R400 000 on the National Yearling Sale and with his fifth win and 2 places from just 7 starts took his earnings to R2 190 000. Now he has to go 650m further in three weeks’ time in the SA Derby on Champions Day. That shouldn’t stop him. Clyde Basel may just as well write out that R2 million bonus cheque so long.

Chase Maujean gets Juxtapose up in a thriller

The Judpot filly Juxtapose’s dramatic last gasp victory in the R1 million Wilgerbosdrift Gr1 SA Fillies Classic had her breeder, Varsfontein’s Carl de Vos, fondly remembering a cold, dark winter’s evening at Durbanville a few years ago.

ockey Chase Maujean rode a determined finish to notch his career first Gr1 winner as he drove the gutsy Stan Ferreira trained filly up in the last stride to catch and beat the fancied Negroamaro, in the second leg of the Wilgerbosdrift SA Triple Tiara on Saturday. It was a finish that had her veteran breeder Carl de Vos on the edge of his couch on the beautiful farm that has produced so many Gr1 winners over the years – and the seasoned horseman was happy to reminisce about Varsfontein stallion Judpot’s third Gr1 winner after Along Came Polly and Forest Indigo – and a stallion cv that includes a host of other Gr1 performers. But back to that auction. It was held after the midweek races at the Cape’s country course and, unsurprisingly, there was hardly anybody present in the dimly lit parade ring. “There were two Windrush fillies on the sale and myself and Frikkie jumped in our truck and drove the half hour trip through to the racecourse. We were confident of getting both of them and when I saw the scant attendance, I knew we were in luck,“ he recalled. Carl’s preoccupation with Windrush fillies and Varsfontein”s good sire Judpot hinges on the internationally proven winning cross of AP Indy with Mr Prospector.

The former Mike Bass-trained Gr3 Prix Du Cap winner Sunsational, and a good looker called Elysian Gem, were the two Windrushers loaded on to the Varsfontein float. Sunsational, a versatile stakes winner of five races from 1000m to 2000m, was to go on and produce a nuggety first foal called Juxtapose, which was purchased by Roland Bouwer for R130 000 on the 2015 National Yearling Sale. On Saturday, she won the Gr1 SA Fillies Classic by a head in a time of 110,03 secs to score her third win with three places from seven starts – and in the process took her stakes earnings to R804 125. In a lovely twist, the race sponsor Mary Slack owns Sunsational’s second foal and Juxtapose’s half-sister by Captain Al, while the Varsfontein team is upbeat about the third – a half brother to the winner by Var. His name is Valbonne and this fellow comes up as lot 365 on the Bloodstock SA National Yearling Sale later this month. How’s that for timing? Carl De Vos said that he was pleased for the Bouwers, who were so overcome by emotion in the post-race high that they were unable to enjoy the usual Gr1 winning owner’s ‘moment in the sun’. “They have purchased a farm next door Varsfontein and will be breeding horses. They have appointed Lindi Garlicki as manager. I am thrilled for this Gr1 success for them as they have been

staunch supporters of ours,” said Carl. As for the SA Classic, the connections of Negroamaro must be wondering what they have to do to get the daughter of Fort Wood’s head in front when it counts. She ran her third feature runner-up berth in succession

on Saturday and Anton Marcus moved her up in what looked like a winning execution down the outside at the 300m. She just didn’t have that killer kick when challenged by Juxtapose. But three cheers to Chase Maujean, who rode as if his

life depended on it. He will be celebrating a great week of winners and his maiden Gr1 success for some time. Wilgerbosdrift SA Triple Tiara first leg winner Heaps Of Fun finished well downfield. A thriller of a race all round!

Anton Marcus and Legal Eagle come home lonely

HF Oppenheimer Gr1 HORSE CHESTNUT at Turffontein last Saturday

L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate winner Legal Eagle confirmed his status as South Africa’s premier miler when registering his third Gr1 win with a cracking performance in the R1 million HF Oppenheimer Gr1 Horse Chestnut Stakes at Turffontein on Saturday.

hat a comeback it was after a nine week break for the smashing Avontuur bred gelded son of Greys Inn, who was registering his sixth win from just eleven starts. Rested after his sensational Queen’s Plate victory, and an admittedly comprehensive walloping by Smart Call in the Met, Anton Marcus rode a calculated race in the face of some questionable decision-making by a few of his colleagues, who were mostly happy to wait and see what happened. After Ice Machine had ruined his chances with a tardy jump, Marcus had Legal Eagle

reluctantly loping along in front and wasn’t breaking any records as they turned for home. Freshly back from Hong Kong, Gavin Lerena saw the warning signs and he pressed the launch button on New Predator. The only 3yo in the race grabbed four lengths and was full of running going into the final 400m as he appeared to have caught his opposition flat-footed. But Lerena’s gamble came unstuck and Marcus knew what he had under him – at the 200m New Predator was gasping for air as Legal Eagle caught his breath and was in full flight. It was race over going into the final stages as the outstanding Legal Eagle drew off to

win very impressively by 3,50 lengths in a time of 96,90 secs. Last year’s winner Captain America had no chance with the winner but went past the exhausted New Predator to bank the second cheque. The rampant Sean Tarry rounded off the quartet with Halve The Deficit. Winning jockey Anton Marcus complimented his trainer on a great training feat. “Even though it may have looked a ‘gimme’ on paper, Legal Eagle had been rested and things don’t always pan out as expected. I didn’t want to lead today and thus I went slow – and Gavin probably did the right thing by taking us on early,” he said in his typical sporting style.

Sean Tarry, who was celebrating his fourth win on the big day, said that his horses and their owners made his job a lot easier. “I appreciate Markus’ support and he doesn’t interfere – training like that makes it a lot easier for us. As for the race, I was flabbergasted when the two gallopers were content to sit behind us and we may have had things differently had Gavin (Lerena) gone a bit later than he did. With Legal Eagle running in three weeks we didn’t want to put him under too much pressure – but it was a great win,” he said. Proud winning breeder Pippa Mickleburgh of Avontuur Stud received the owner’s trophy on behalf of

Gr3 JACARANDA HANDICAP at Turffontein last Saturday

One For The Okes

JC PHOTOS

The Jay Peg filly Peggy Jay put up a top-class SA Oaks trial at Turffontein on Saturday when she went all the way to win the R250 000 Gr3 Jacaranda Handicap under a particularly accomplished ride by Marco Van Rensburg.

eggy Jay is one of the hardiest young lady stayers around and completed a smart hattrick of wins for trainer Lucky Houdalakis, who really has a lovely Oaks candidate on his hands. The youngest horse in the race, she beat a field of accomplished older gallopers. Jockey Marco Van Rensburg had her out of the stalls quickly and said that he knew that his opposition were expecting him to lead.

“I knew there wouldn’t be pace and they were looking at me as pacemaker Nobody took me on in straight it was like jumping on a new horse as she kicked again,” he said. Trainer Lucky Houdalakis said that the target has always been the Oaks. “This race over 1800m was the right prep run – this filly just keeps improving and making us all proud,” he said. Despite a late challenge from race favourite Patchit Up Baby at the 250m marker, Peggy Jay was full of

enthusiasm and energy and she stayed on well all the way to the line to win by 0,90 lengths in a time of 111,02 secs. Peggy Jay was bred by David Southey and is a 3yo daughter of Jay Peg and the third foal of the versatile seven time winner Colonial Girl (by Stage Colony), who was trained by Dean Kannemeyer to win the 2000 Gold Cup. Peggy Jay has now won 4 races with 5 places from 14 starts and took her stakes earnings to R410 850.

Peggy Jay leads all the way under Marco Van Rensburg

an absent Markus Jooste and said that she was thrilled for the winning connections. Legal Eagle is by Vodacom Durban July winner Greys Inn out of the six-time winning National Emblem mare Young Sensation, who was also trained by Sean Tarry. The winner was bought by the reigning SA champion trainer on behalf of top owner Markus Jooste for R425 000 at the 2013 National Yearling Sale. He has won 6 races with 3 places from 11 starts and took his earnings to R3 422 875. Legal Eagle will likely line up next in South Africa’s richest Gr1 race, the R4 million President’s Champions Challenge in three weeks’ time over 400m further at the same venue.

Bull Valley gives Khumalo another feature success

Cloth Of Cloud (S''manga Khumalo) maintains her 100% record

Gr3 PRETTY POLLY STAKES at Turffontein last Saturday Trainer Sean Tarry and jockey S’manga Khumalo got the 2016 Classic Day at Turffontein on Saturday under way in flying style when the much vaunted, and obviously very talented, Cloth Of Cloud stormed home to maintain her unbeaten record with an eventful victory in the R200 000 Gr3 Pretty Polly Stakes.

fter her runaway win at Kenilworth on CTS Million Dollar Day earlier this year, the daughter of Captain Al went off a red-hot odds on order to land the spoils in the eight horse field. While the result was on the board, the commission earned by S’manga Khumalo won’t be his easiest one this term! Known to have her temperament issues, Cloth Of Cloud was accompanied to the start by a pony and after a few hesitant toe digs, she went in without a fuss. Settled early as Intriguing Lady and Arissa cut out the pace, Khumalo pressed the button at the 300m and Cloth Of Cloud started lugging to the inside. When her and Intriguing Lady came together at the 200m, she looked to have a race on her hands, but once straightened she proved too

strong to draw away to win by 2,30 lengths in a time of 63,65 secs. In a bizarre twist, Cloth Of Cloud dug her toes in as she passed the post to come to a dead stop. Disaster was averted as the experienced jockey had both hands close and on the reins and with control of her mouth, he was able to take charge. The situation could have been disastrous, with a shocked Brandon Lerena glancing across as his mount Cyber Magic sped up late to grab third, and narrowly avoided a collision. Jockey S’manga Khumalo was as cool as a cucumber in the post-race interview: ”She just needs to calm down and get to know what racing is about. Bullying won’t work with her. I managed to settle her and follow them early, and while the De Kock filly put up a fight, she was getting stronger as we went to the line,” he said. The cleverly named Cloth Of Cloud was purchased on the

Cape Premier Yearling Sale and the beautiful filly with the superb action caught the attention of the astute eye of Diane Nagle and Linda Shanahan, who went to R2,2 million to buy her. Cloth Of Cloud was bred by Highlands and is by Captain Al out of the six-time winning Fusaichi Pegasus mare Our Table Mountain, a half-sister to sire Artie Schiller. Cloth Of Cloud has won two from two and took her stakes earnings to R171 875. The Gr2 SA Filies Nursery at the end of the month could be next. Captain Al has 10 lots on offer at the upcoming Emperors Palace Select Yearling Sale – with his draft including a filly, bred on the same cross as Cloth Of Cloud, out of a stakes winning Fusaichi Pegasus mare (Lot 50), a half brother to current 2yo sensation Exquisite Touch (Lot 96) and a full brother to top class feature race contenders Alascan Maiden and Captain Lars (Lot134).

Gr3 CARADOC GOLD CUP at Turffontein last Saturday

Muzi & The Mambo Outstay Them

The Moutonshoek bred Mambo In Seattle gelding Fortune Fella showed genuine stamina when leading all the way of the 2850m to win the R250 000 Gr3 Caradoc Gold Cup at Turffontein on Saturday.

espite two obvious odds-on bankers in the Pick 6, the big exotic paid a healthy dividend of R75 316 and this was rounded off and boosted by the arrival of the 10-1 Fortune Fella in the final leg. Ten of them jumped at the 2850m marker and Muzi Yeni had no hesitation in taking Fortune Fella out to lead at a relaxed gallop. He maintained his superiority the whole way around and into the home straight, where Anthony Delpech produced the gallant former Cape-based mare Marmalady down the inside and she grabbed a length on Fortune Fella. At the 250m marker Fortune Fella came

back to regain the lead with Cool Chardonnay and Arch Rival chasing hard. But nothing had the juice to stay with Fortune Fella, who was brought to the races fit and full of fire by Devin Little, and he outgunned the rest to go on and win by a half length in a time of 190,87 secs. Gavin Lerena came on best of the rest on Arch Rival, to head the omnipresent Marmalady into third, with another head away to Cool Chardonnay. Fortune Fella was bred by Moutonshoek and is a 4yo gelded son of Mambo In Seattle out of the Al Mufti mare, Carnival Girl. He looks a fair stayer in the making and was winning his third race with 5 places from 12 starts for stakes of R328 750.

Gr3 MAN O’WAR STAKES at Turffontein last Saturday

Plenty Bull From Tarry

The Tarry-Khumalo express was in rampant form at Turffontein on Saturday and won the first three races on the Classic Day programme. They completed a feature double when the Toreador gelding Bull Valley came out shunting in his first run for the champion yard after a break.

ull Valley’s former trainer Dominic Zaki, who gave up his licence in December, would have been pleased to see that his belief in the smart 3yo was confirmed in some manner as he spreadeagled a decent field to win the R250 000 Gr3 Man O’War Sprint. Despite apparently showing little in his work at home, Bull Valley was sent out a 33-10 favourite, ironically after the scratching of his talented Gr winning stablemate Arabian Beat, who races out of the Stan Ferreira yard these days. The consistent African Ruler (7-2) and Pure Blonde (2-1) were expected to give Bull Valley most to think about, but the latter was the first

to falter at the 400m as Khumalo got to work on Bull Valley. Into the 200m, Bull Valley was clearly going best and ran on strongly to beat African Ruler by 1,50 lengths in a time of 62,59 awca. Isca ran on best of the rest for third, with Pure Blonde fading out after showing pace. The Ambiance Stud bred Bull Valley is a son of Toreador out of the twice-winning Saumarez mare, Star Of Liberty. He looks well bought at R180 000 on the National Yearling Sale and took his earnings to R282 375 with his third win and one place from four starts. He was also the recipient of the R87 500 BSA Added Value Stakes Bonus cheque.

Gr3 PROTEA STAKES at Turffontein last Saturday

Silvano Son’s Gutsy Win No big feature raceday passes without a Mike de Kock winner and it was the beautifully bred 2yo Janoobi who got one on the SA Classic Day board for the stable. The son of Silvano showed character to get up and win the R200 000 Gr3 Protea Stakes.

nton Marcus had been aboard when Janoobi was backed into the red and won his Vaal maiden by 7 lengths in late February. Lining up on Saturday in the seven strong field, he went off at 17-10 but looked under pressure a long way out as he failed to match the early pace of He’s A Var and the Spies filly, Seattle Singer. The latter, still a maiden, was being talked about as a possible winner and had her supporters as she went off at 15-4. With He’s A Var falling in

a hole at the 200m, Seattle Singer rallied strongly and with a galloping weight on her back, she bounced back and looked a winner. But under a relentless Anton Marcus ride, Janoobi finally found his best stride and came home best down the inside to hold Corne Spies’ consistent filly to a half length in a time of 64,31 secs. Debut winner Flying Myth always looked under pressure but ran a fair race for third, ahead of Erasmus longshot Approval Mode, who edged his pacy and more fancied stablemate He’s A Var out of fourth. Janoobi was bred by Maine

Chance Farms and is a son of champion Silvano out of the unraced Rakeen mare, Shasta Daisy. The latter is a half-sister to top producer Scented Samantha. The winner should probably be looking for 2000m and this 1100m stakes win may prove to have been a highly meritorious one when we reflect back and see where he goes in the 3yo classics next term. Janoobi has won 2 of his 3 starts for 1 place and took his stakes earned to R191 250. The colt who races in the famous blue and white of Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid al Maktoum cost R1,2 million on the Cape Premier Yearling Sale.

AV O N T U U R ’ S

I like to repeat how lucky I am to be part of the racing and breeding industry because it is true. It is a singular privilege to be welcomed into yards and stud farms across the country and I often have to pinch myself when turning off my car engine in yet another amazing place to speak to amazing people and get to see amazing horses.

t is perhaps more of a testament to the wonderful folks who populate the racing and breeding world that I am always made to feel so welcome. And so it was that I swung my bakkie left into the green and white entrance to Avontuur Estate last week. The security guard on the gate greeted me warmly and with obvious pride when I said I was there to chat to Pippa. While the speed bumps encourage one to keep to a sensible speed, the mares and foals grazing peacefully on either side of the rose lined driveway make the trip even more leisurely as you crane your neck to try and identify the Avontuur matrons and guess at the foals at foot. Once safely parked and no longer a hazard to fellow drivers, I meet Philip, the younger of the Taberer brothers, setting up the hospitality tent on the stoep for the evening’s entertainment. It’s not often one finds wine estate owners doing things like that, but then Avontuur is no ordinary farm. Off a base of approximately 30 foals a year, there are not many of South Africa’s racing trophies that haven’t been won by either an Avontuur-bred or by progeny

of one of their stallions and with the Johannesburg sales season about to commence, I thought it would be a good idea to stop by and see what Pippa has on offer.

past. Then an Eskom van came up and started hooting at us!” The expression on her face tells you that this was not a good move on Eskom’s behalf. What happened?

Fine wine & fast horses

“Well, once I worked out it wasn’t some sort of emergency, I figured he can wait, so I took my time finishing with the horses and then went up to talk to him. He was not happy, but I told him this is not his farm and I won’t be hooted at!” she says indignantly.

Somewhat unusually, Pippa was running a bit late, affording me the opportunity to find a table and get settled in. I was half way into my cappuccino when I realised that I’d made myself rather comfortable, but instead of feeling like a ‘destination’, with its relaxed atmosphere and rustic charm, Avontuur feels very much like visiting a family home. Fine wines and fast horses is their slogan and the two things sit comfortably alongside one another everywhere one cares to look, from the Henk Vos portrait of Val de Ra to a life sized photograph of Avontuur yearlings taken from the top of the farm, which gaze down over the dining room.

It is the fact that the horses come above all else that has built Pippa and Avontuur the formidable reputation they enjoy today. Not a thing escapes her attention – whether it’s a foal with a cracked molar (“I noticed the food had been collecting in the side of his mouth”) or personally overseeing and checking the weekly feed delivery (“I will not accept feed that is more than 2 days old”), Pippa personally manages every detail.

Pippa arrives shortly afterwards in characteristic full swing, going from 0 – 100 in a matter of strides. “We’re weaning the foals at the top of the farm today. We usually park so that other vehicles can get past, but it was 7:30, so we parked together, meaning that other cars couldn’t get

Pippa is known for her no nonsense, direct approach and expects the same in return. Her standards are exacting and she expects the same from those around her. Every invoice is scrutinised, any incorrect or double billing is challenged and anyone falling foul is given very short

J O H A N N E S B U R G

shrift indeed. Whether it’s travel fees for workmen, loo roll for the restaurant, or feed delivery fees, Pippa scrutinises everything with a fine tooth comb. “That’s what you’d do if it was your own money. Perhaps it’s because we also deal with the wine industry, but it’s incredible what the racing industry puts up with. There are far too many middle men adding on their premiums. “Some people phone the vet for changing stable bandages or sorting out things like deworming!! Why? We should be using the wholesalers, shop around! This is still Africa – people mustn’t try and get too clever with getting a specialist and charging for every little thing. All these things add up and it’s pushing our smaller owners out of the market,” she exasperates. It’s a valid point.

Trusted brand It is exactly this unwillingness to compromise when it comes to her horses that has helped build the Avontuur brand into what it is today and why the Avontuur string is always given such serious consideration by racing’s cognoscenti. “Let’s be honest, we’re selling the dream, and we want the dream to run, but not everyone who’s bought has had a good horse from me. Yet they keep coming back and trying again because they know what we do and how we do it. I’ve made each horse that comes off this farm. I’ve designed the mating, and hand delivered each foal. I’ve

Y E A R L I N G

watched them every single day of their lives. “They grow up in large paddocks with good water, good food and clean air. They’re as good as we can get them and I think it’s a testament to the farm that people like buying from us. Sales can be a funny business - when I first started out I was offered all sorts of deals and commissions, but people have learnt that we don’t do business that way and they’ve stopped asking. If we’ve set a reserve on a horse, it’s a realistic one. You will see me bidding up to my reserve and if the horse goes for more, we let it go. It’s all done out in the open and what you see is what you get. There’s no funny business.” Over a farmhouse breakfast, we talk through some of the challenges and ups and downs the industry faces. It’s a pity that she no longer serves on some of our industry committees as Pippa has some useful ideas on how to improve things. “If I had enough time, I could change the world!” she jokes, but opines that one has to devote your energy to your core business to avoid losing focus and at Avontuur the focus is on growing and selling. There are two yearling sales coming up in Joburg and it’s the first year Avontuur is selling at both. Pippa states flatly, “I’m not interested in the politics. I need to sell horses and it’s my job to get the right horse to the right sale for the right buyer.” It’s something she’s very good at and Avontuur’s sales record speaks for itself. Var remains a model of consistency – both in the sales ring as well as on the track – and Oratorio has got off to a good start in the sales ring. “I think the important thing for people to understand is that Oratorio isn’t a first season sire. Everyone’s heading off overseas trying to find the next big thing, but we’ve got one right here! There is no wait and see with Oratorio – he is a proven sire. He’s already got 7 international Gr1 winners - name another horse in this country that can say that?’ she asks proudly. “They’re not going to be precocious horses – his job is a mile up – but he’s producing horses with bone, substance and quality and there is no question that he deserves to be considered alongside the rest of our top stallions.”

CTS Emperor’s Palace Select Sale There are 5 Avontuur-breds on offer at CTS’s Emperor’s Palace Select Sale.

D R A F T

“I’ve got two ‘wow’ Oratorio’s. The first is a colt called Mardi Gras out of Sarabande (lot 150) – he’s a magnificent high quality horse. Then there’s lot 193, a first foal out of Varsity Queen – that’s the ‘Wise’ family of Schiffer, Wise Dame, etc. He’s a big, strong, magnificent specimen of a horse and he’s called Graduate. We’ve also got a Silvano colt out of La Normandie (lot 90) called La Scala. “This is a half brother to Normanz and Le Harve, who won first time out for Justin Snaith a few weeks ago. The only Var on that sale is lot 177. He is a first foal out of Street Wise. I’d say he perhaps stands over a bit more ground than your typical Var and he is from the immediate family of Redoute’s Choice and Hurricane Sky. He has a stallion’s pedigree and a strong name – Talk Of The Town.”

National Sales “For Nationals, two have had to come off, so we’ve got 8 left. Lot 192 is the last foal from London Belle who has been retired from stud duties. He’s called Hampton Court and this is the family of Gee C and Right Prerogative. There’s an Oratorio colt called Chantyman out of Sea Of Calm (lot 314). He’s a big, strong, strapping colt. Lot 398 is a Gimmethegreenlight colt out of Valeta (a daughter of Sarabande) called Keyboogie and looks a speedy type. Lot 452, by Var out of Avian Talk, is a full brother to Twitter and is a big block of a horse named Duffield after the famous commentator. “As far as the fillies go, we’ve got 2 Var fillies on offer. Lot 21 is Kindavar out of the Jet Master mare, Without Malice. This is a good, strong first foal and has a lot of Jet Master about her. Our second filly is lot 163, Sweet Treat. She’s by Var out of Candy Vous and is a full sister to Vous Et Var. She’s not a flashy looker, but is a very correct, racy, athletic type.” “Var is having a wonderful run and there are lots of Oratorios on both sales, so we’re looking forward to the sales. At the moment everything seems to be going well for the farm – the stallions are firing, the mares are doing well, we had three runners in 3 Gr1 races on Classic Day and Legal Eagle really flew the flag high in the Horse Chestnut Stakes. Of course, with horses you never know how long it’s going to last, so one just has to enjoy it while you can!

Bass’ Drakenstein Feature Fun Domination! EAST CAPE GUINEAS (Listed)

OAKS PLATE

KWAZULU NATAL STAKES (Listed)

at Fairview last Friday

at Scottsville last Sunday

The Mike Bass team pulled off a superb raiding feature double at Fairview on Friday with their long-time colleague and friend Justin Snaith having to play second fiddle in both races. Grant Van Niekerk was in peak form and rode both Bass winners.

he R150 000 Listed East Cape Guineas attracted a field of eleven, which included another Milnerton raider in Greg Ennion’s 2015 Gr3 Cape Classic winner Eighth Wonder, who was far and away the highest rated runner, and went off a 2-1 favourite. Grant Van Niekerk had jumped Brilliant Crimson a length slow from his widest draw and the son of Trippi was last of the lot turning for home. But coming from last, Brilliant Crimson burst through a small gap down the centre and stormed clear to win going away by 1,75 lengths in a time of 98,32 secs. It was a dramatic win by the

gelding who was returning from a 13 week break. Runner-up Star Chestnut’s trainer Justin Snaith had some consolation with S’manga Khumalo riding a minor race double for the yard. Brilliant Crimson was bred in a partnership by Highlands and Georgina Jaffee and is a gelded son of Trippi out of the classy racemare, Crimson Blossom, a daughter of Danehill Dancer. Crimson Blossom’s seven wins included the Gr3 Final Fling Stakes. He cost R1,3 million on the Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 and took his career earnings to R174 925. Judging on the fighting spirit and turn of foot he showed here, he looks to have ample scope for good improvement and is very likely to build on his 2 wins with 4 places from 9 starts.

Two Cape raiders from different stables but both owned and bred by Drakenstein Stud dominated proceedings in the R80 000 Oaks Plate at Fairview on Friday.

nly seven 3yo fillies lined up in the supporting feature and it was left to the two raiders to produce the fireworks. The consistent Arabian Winter hovered around 9-10 before jumping at even money, with Justin Snaith’s Entrechat fancied at 22-10. With the latter slow away, it was Lady Marshall who dashed off to lead local hope Love Everlasting, with Arabian Winter loping along in third. S’manga Khumalo had Entrechat relaxed at the back. Into the home run, Lady Marshall was quick to hand in her resignation as Grant Van Niekerk cruised into the lead at the 300m on Arabian Winter. Khumalo had woken Entrechat up and after having to switch between runners, the Captain Al filly chased Arabian Winter to the line. The attention seemed to wake Arabian Winter up and ridden with the hands she maintained her advantage to a half length in a time of 113,31 secs. Arabian Winter is a daughter of the deceased champion sire Western Winter and is out of the lightly raced two-time winner Arabian Pearl (by Al Mufti). She has been consistent since winning her maiden three runs back and has now won twice with five places and took her stakes earned to R150 350.

KING’S PACT STAKES at Scottsville last Sunday

Pact With Armchair For Anton Class SENTINEL STAKES

at Scottsville last Sunday

Scottsville has been flunking the numbers test with field sizes in recent weeks and only 21 horses ran in half of Sunday’s eight race programme. One can also only wonder if we should be getting excited about the local 2yo winners in advance of the tougher tests in the months ahead.

he signs are not good and even though the forthcoming Champions Season is likely to paper over the cracks, some serious long-term thinking is required from the powers-that-be and local stakeholders. Trainer Mike Miller was to the fore, winning two of the three features on the afternoon, and his 2yo Rob’s Jewel certainly looks a candidate for better, although he beat little to win the R120 000 non black-type Sentinel Stakes. The race was run in the same order as they were to finish as Anton Marcus kept Rob’s Jewel at his task as he led Skip The Red and Laventelhaan, with the slow away Gio Ponti’s Legacy way out of his ground. Despite showing signs of running green, Rob’s Jewel ran away from his three opponents and the 1,75 lengths winning margin may have flattered the runner-up Skip The Red. The winner registered a time of 57,58 secs for the 1000m. Anton Marcus said that he was excited to get the call for the engagement as his mount was the standout horse on the programme. The winner was bred by Robin Muir from Argonaut (who also sired the winner of the Listed feature on the day) and is out of the very fast five-time winning Albarahin mare, Barahin’s Jewel, who raced for Dennis Drier in the pink and yellow of the Muirs. He has now won 2 races with 1 place from 3 starts and took his earnings to R132 500.

Anton Marcus booted his second consecutive oddson feature winner home at Scottsville on Sunday when the Australian-bred Al Hawraa came on strongly to win the R120 000 King’s Pact Stakes.

he beautifully bred Al Hawraa returned to the scene of her debut win on 7 February and even though running over a trip short of her best, she made up many lengths after being outpaced early to win going away. With three of the five runners maidens, the Mike de Kock yard must have felt confident of picking up the lion’s share of the non blacktype feature. The Louis Goosen debutante Linda Honey showed good speed out front and Anton Marcus had Al Hawraa under a push from just past halfway. With Diamond In The Sky coming forward down the inside to challenge for the lead at the 250m, Marcus showed

Al Hawraa the crop and she responded like a good sort – even though the De Kock yard won’t be over-rating her until she has beating something of note. She held Diamond In The Sky to 1,50 lengths in a time of 57,85 secs. Recent debut winner Diamond In The Sky showed plenty of toe and stayed on well for second, ahead of debutante Linda Honey. The latter ran a very decent race to stay on for third and she should crack her maiden shortly. Al Hawraa was bred by Shadwell Stud Australasia Ltd and is a daughter of Darley stallion New Approach out of the Aussie winner, Ijaaza, who is by Redoute’s Choice. Al Hawraa remains unbeaten in two starts and took her earnings to R125 000.

The smart Argonaut mare Clear Sailing won Sunday’s R150 000 Listed KwaZulu Natal Stakes at Scottsville five months in foal and in the process picked up some well-timed bold black-type.

lear Sailing She enjoyed the hearty pace set by Corinne Bestel’s superfast She’s A Fortress (who probably blew her chances by breaking the gate early), and when challenged by Wendy Whitehead’s previously unbeaten Free State, she rallied strongly under her favourite jockey Anthony Delpech to win going away by 0,75 lengths in a time of 57,07 secs. Free State was by no means disgraced at her third start and she looks Champions Season material. In the process of winning, Clear Sailing registered a feature double for her trainer Mike Miller and her discarded sire Argonaut.

Two of Argonaut’s 3yo sons in Alistair Gordon’s Beat The Retreat and the Michael Roberts-trained Natal look to be KZN Champions Season hopefuls – the former runs in the Gr3 Byerley Turk at Greyville on Friday evening. Bred by Geoff Armitage, Clear Sailing is out of the five-time winning daughter of Goldkeeper, Clear Up. The winner was raced by longstanding KZN owner Cecil Baitz and his son Gary, who is resident in Australia. Clear Sailing was purchased for R350 000 on the Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1. She retires on a memorable winning note with a record of 4 wins with 7 places from 15 starts and stakes of R345 450.

Australian Gr1 Double Feature

Winx Now ‘A Champion’ Chris Waller has resisted any prompting to call Winx a champion but the mare’s brilliant win in Saturday’s Gr1 Doncaster Mile at Randwick has finally convinced the trainer to call her what she is.

“She’s a champion,” Waller said. “I thought today was the day she could be beaten.” The punting public thought she was a sure thing at Randwick with Winx the 4-5 favourite, the same price as the last odds-on favourite to win the famous race, Valicare in 1926. Hugh Bowman took her back in the field from barrier 11 and she looked to be in a bit of trouble as the field straightened up for the run home. With no clear run, Bowman had to duck and weave and finally got her into a space and she picked up the pace to stride clear by two lengths over Happy Clapper. “All I could do was help her through it,” Bowman said. “I was very mindful to get those engines going and that when I did, she’d pick herself up. “I just had a supreme horse. I could hear the roar as I poked in I just wanted to enjoy the moment. I can’t put it into words.” Waller watched the race from his usual solitary seat in the trainer’s room with the addition of television cameras aimed at him from the door. “This is the longest Doncaster I’ve watched,” he said. “I thought she was beaten at the half mile, let alone the 600 metre mark. “She was going nowhere and I have never seen Hughie have to niggle her. She never gets right back there unless we are taking her back from wide draws but that was not really the plan. “We took on the handicapper and she won.” The next decision Waller has to make is whether Winx backs next Saturday in the A$4 million Queen Elizabeth Stakes. Royal Ascot Date On Cards For the second time in his decorated career, Chautauqua came from an almost impossible position to win the 1200m Gr1 TJ Smith Stakes at Randwick and set up a possible shot at Royal Ascot riches. Chautauqua, who was sent off a 13-5 shot, gave away 12 lengths to the leaders as he settled last in the A$2.5 million weight-for-age sprint. In a replica of his 2015 win, Tommy Berry asked Chautauqua to improve at the 600 metres but the sprinter’s task still appeared forlorn as his stablemate Our Boy Malachi took the field into the straight. Produced wide out, Chautauqua reeled in the leaders at the 100 metres and the grey ran away to beat Fell Swoop and English. Connections now have to ponder the possibilities of overseas targets, with Hong Kong’s Chairman’s Sprint Prize and a trip to Royal Ascot on the radar. “If we take him overseas we’re going to have a ride aren’t we,” Berry said. www.racingpost.com

Online Bookies

Beware!

Four online bookmakers have created a storm of controversy after closing accounts and voiding bets in the wake of one of the most successful Cheltenham Festivals ever for punters.

wo weeks after the fiesta for favourite backers at Cheltenham the four firms - 138.com, 12bet.uk, fun88.co.uk and tlcbet.co.uk who like most bookmakers offered special promotions for the fourday meeting, have accused some punters of abusing the bonus bets offered and voided their winnings. This bombshell comes in the run-up to racing’s biggest betting event of the year, the Crabbie’s Grand National at Aintree next Saturday. Hundreds of the affected punters took to social media to highlight their plight with claims that individual sums involved ran into thousands of pounds with the firms. The four online operators, who include Premier League and Championship football teams among their sponsorship portfolios, have Isle of Man registrations on their websites but with different addresses.

Situation monitored

The Gambling Commission confirmed on Saturday it is closely monitoring developments while pointing aggrieved punters to follow the complaints procedures laid out by the firms, who are all licensed by the commission and subscribe to the Independent Betting Arbitration Service (IBAS). It also revealed the firms had made contact on Tuesday, before contacting affected customers.

A commission spokesperson said: “They did alert us to a problem as they saw it and on Friday afternoon we started to get calls from concerned punters. “We are monitoring the situation very, very carefully but would remind punters we have no power to get their money back but can impose a range of sanctions putting conditions on the licence, with revoking any licence the very last step.”

‘Unusual activity’

The Racing Post could not reach representatives of the firms on Saturday but Garth Kimber, chief executive of Xela Holdings, which owns 138.com, was quoted by local media. He told IOMToday: “Following unprecedented volumes and unusual activities during the Cheltenham racing festival, the company has followed our regulator-approved procedures and terms and conditions, and reviewed activity deemed suspicious. “All payments were processed for accounts not deemed to be under investigation and all payments have now been processed for those accounts reviewed and found not to have been in breach of our terms and conditions. “For those accounts where the terms and conditions have been breached, account holders have been informed, the company has processed a refund of deposits, voided all bets (winning and losing) and closed the accounts.” www.racingpost.com

Crabbie’s Grand National On Saturday

The Druids Nephew Is The Pick

The 34-year-old Irishman, Denis O’Regan, who moved south from his County Durham-based job with the subsequently banned Howard Johnson in 2010, is hoping his luck may change at Aintree on Saturday, where he is due to get the leg-up on leading hope The Druids Nephew, in the Crabbie’s Grand National.

t has to be one of the most startling stats of the jump-racing year: Denis O’Regan, for some time one of the sport’s highestrated jockeys, had just one mount at its showpiece Cheltenham Festival. The horse in question was Ardamir, a 12-1 shot that never managed to get in a blow before being pulled up in the Fred Winter Juvenile Novices Hurdle. For the rest of the week, O’Regan - previously successful in the World Hurdle and Arkle Chase, and the winner of 50plus races in six of the past eight seasons - had to get used to the unaccustomed role of spectator. Twelve months ago, he was on the back of the Neil Mulholland-trained nine-yearold The Druids Nephew who was in the lead when he fell at the fifth last on the famous 30-fence course. At the time, Leighton Aspell - on board winner Many Clouds - believed him to be the principal danger. So both horse and rider have points to make. “Obviously Cheltenham was disappointing. It’s tough, but

you’ve got to keep looking forward and I just hope that next year may be better. “I don’t know the reason. Since I moved down south, it’s been a battle. I’ve found it hard to slot into one yard or get a constant supply [of mounts] but I’ve made changes this year - I’m not one to take anything lying down. “I feel that’s definitely benefited me and made me feel like I’m moving forward.” Those changes have included a switch of booking agent to join colleagues Sam TwistonDavies and Noel Fehily at the accomplished Chris Broad agency, and a push towards making new contacts amongst bigger owners, who are more and more inclined to employ their own retained riders these days. However, no amount of work by the Broad team, or schmoozing by the man himself, will do as much to raise the profile as victory on April 9 in the most famous horse

he weather has turned down here and we have had our traditional cold and wet Easter. We have not had enough rain to make a huge difference but at least it is starting.

Feedback

I have had some lovely comeback regarding some of the things I said about Peter Moody and his situation. Racing, I feel, has the most wonderful way of shooting itself in the foot or kicking itself up its butt. On his farm in Victoria Bruce Akers, who is a restricted-licence trainer, has been discovered with multiple dead horses (23)and even more emaciated horses on the verge of euthanasia. However, the Victorian racing authorities choose rather to persecute Peter Moody, the one man who is doing a huge amount of good for racing, globe-trotting around the world with his star filly, Black Caviar. He has one minor transgression that he almost certainly was not directly responsible for. As the person responsible for the care of the horse, he was punished severely by the racing authorities. The end result of that has been a huge loss of income and jobs for his staff as well as a huge loss to racing. Let’s not forget Peter Moody trained a

I don’t know why but somehow having a weekend winner always makes one feel good for the week ahead. Sadly that was not to be this past weekend. However, we pulled out some very nice two year olds this past Tuesday and the future looks bright, writes Joey Ramsden. group one winner just before handing his license in.

No Action Mr Akers has been on the radar of the turf authorities for a number of years and they have chosen to do nothing about him. The level of neglect and abuse on these poor horses over a period of time was criminal. I was sickened just looking at the pictures. How much worse was it for the people who were actually there and in charge of the rescue? However, the authorities seem to feel that one positive for cobalt is a far more serious offense. This is certainly a good example of the way certain people in racing think, their ridiculous attitudes towards positives and what those positives actually mean. Yes, some people are desperados but others certainly don’t need to be for success to come their way. I will leave it up to you to decide where you stand on this issue. Since the departure of Smart Call, the Met-winning filly, Legal Eagle looks to be the best horse in the country with an extremely impressive performance in the Horse Chestnut Stakes. He looks like being the horse we all have to chase in Johannesburg and Natal. Who knows: perhaps an international campaign beckons for him? He certainly looks good enough.

Boring

may they be champions. It really is a true fairy tale. Roy Hodgson managed to put out a winning team. It is quite amazing: one of the leading goal scorers only comes on the final twenty minutes in the game against Germany. What does he do? Score! Sadly Roy is clueless but again it is too late for them to forge ahead and get someone fresh and exciting for the European Championships. England managed to throw away, in the last over, what was a really exciting game against the West Indies. Who would ever want to bowl those final six balls? It really is a game of the toss of the coin but what exciting television. I think the whole tournament has been a success all round and helped to revive the tainted name of cricket - even if you are, like me, not a great fan of the shortened game.

On the sporting front, Formula One continues to bore the socks off us all and there looks to be big ructions ahead. The drivers claim they have no pull or say whatsoever but I feel this space needs to be watched. As for the soccer, Spurs look a tremendous side. it is great to see someone playing the youngsters and the fact that they are mostly English makes it even better. The postman is doing a wonderful job as is the Tinkerman at Leicester City who keeps on producing one nil wins. Long may it last and long

It would be remiss of me not to put my five cents worth into the bringing down of Jacob Zuma. Please, Dear God, that it happens as soon as possible for all our sakes in this country. His reign of corruption and selfenrichment simply cannot go on any longer nor can we survive as an economy because of it. Hopefully good news will follow in the week ahead.

Mike Bass had an impressive Querari (GER) colt win the Juvenile race on Saturday. Mike looks to have a couple of smart youngsters and this one looks destined for the tops. While he is my competitor, I cannot be happier for the man. Maybe there really is someone up there shining a light down on us all.

Cape Overhaul Just when I thought we were going forwards with our racing, we are back to once a week. Our fields are filling up and our juvenile races are full. I feel a drastic overhaul of our programme and the timing of the races is needed. It is again sales time and catalogues are piling up on my desk. The CTS Johannesburg one looks of particular interest. Plenty of hard work ahead for me.

Zuma Must Fall

race in the world. Following a promising return from a threemonth break at Doncaster in March - when ridden for the first time by O’Regan - The Druids Nephew is in the top five in the Aintree betting, along with Many Clouds, Silviniaco Conti, Holywell and The Last Samuri, the winner at Doncaster. And regardless of his formbook entries, which include a Cheltenham Festival win, and credentials earned with that bold effort in 2015, the jockey believes the pair have one other advantage: familiarity. He said: “The last three Nationals I’ve ridden in were late bookings, and so the first time I got on him was in the parade ring on Grand National day. So it’s a bit different this time, and a great help. I’ve had a chance to really get to know him. He’s not the biggest, but he knows where his feet are and he definitely has a good brain and the biggest thing with him is that he gave me the ‘feel’ of a horse with a lot of class.

Spalato came into Sunday’s Kranji Sprint with excellent form. His two wonderful victories, especially his second up run and win and some scintillating trackwork, made him a popular fancy. But the scene was set for an upset, suggests Gareth Pepper.

ue the worst situation - a storm of huge proportions, a 30 minute delay and the writing was on the wall! One thing we need to take into account is that Spalato’s two biggest rivals were both returning after lengthy spells on the sidelines. Zac Spirit had had knee surgery, flown back to Australia to recuperate and had endured another flight back. Emperor Max too had some travel under the belt. He had been to Ascot and had not raced since 17 October. Zac was up 15 kg’s while Max was racing 13 kg’s lighter than his last run on Singaporean soil. It was a puzzle that was quickly put together. After a few hundred metres, Spalato was not travelling with his customary fluidity. Max and Zac, however, were hard on the steel and rounding the home turn both quickened on demand. Max was first to stake his claim and it looked like Zac would be his biggest challenger. He was, but ran out of steam come the last 100m. It was Max that held on to win impressively and ruin the Spalato party. Well done to the Gray camp on a great feat and I am sure both Max and Zac will make their presence felt in the $800 000 Lion City Cup at the end of the month. A short note on the second feature of the day. The 1800m Turf contest was won by Pat Shaw and his charge In Fact. His stable apprentice MM Firdaus rode a really mature race and he is a youngster to follow. It was a welcome return to the feature race winners enclosure for Fred Crabbia and again Pat Shaw took out a staying feature. One thing is for ‘Shaw’, Pat’s a banker in them! We have had a few changes in the training ranks here. This weekend welcomed James Peters with his first runners. James is a likeable expat from the UK who has ridden a few winners in the National Hunt world! He has worked In Singapore for over 6 years for Michael Freedman and is now the Captain of the yard. James had a fantastic weekend saddling 12 runners for a winner, six seconds and a third. Hollywood, as I call him, as he wouldn’t be out of place in a boy band with his Bieber like comb-over and stylish dance moves that would rival those of Justin Snaith, has made a solid impression and I wish him all of the best as he takes the step up. Follow him with interest, he now trains Magnum among many other lovely individuals here at Kranji, and has a seriously bright future ahead of him! Till next time.

Duke Of Diamonds

Drakenstein Stud’s hugely successful sire Duke Of Marmalade was back in the news this past weekend thanks to a talented daughter landing a prestigious Group race in Australia.

uke Of Marmalade’s latest group winner is Diamond Made, who picked up the first black type win of her career when she won Saturday’s Gr3 TAB Adrian Knox Stakes at Randwick. Ridden by South African jockey Glyn Schofield, Diamond Made was settled towards the back of the field before coming with a late rattle to win the 2000m contest, worth AUS$201 000, by one length over the fancied Alaskan Rose, with Zasorceress back in third place and Gr3 winner Sacred Eye back in fourth. Diamond Made stopped the clock in a time of 128.01 on what was a slow track. Her trainer Bruce Cross was delighted with the daughter of Duke Of Marmalade, saying, “We might be here next Saturday. Good trainers take two or three days to make their up so we will give it a go. We have had a lot of luck with this filly but up to until today it has been all bad. So it is nice to turn the corner.” The progressive Diamond Made, who

has won or placed in five of her seven starts to date, could now take her place in the Gr1 James Boags Premium Australian Oaks (worth a cool AUS$1 000 000) next weekend. Past winners of the Adrian Knox include Gr1 winners Royal Descent, Wild Iris, Republic Lass and subsequent outstanding broodmare Circles Of Gold, as well as the mighty mare Leilani and Melbourne Cup winner Light Fingers. Europe’s Cartier Champion Older Male of 2008, Duke Of Marmalade has now been represented by more than 40 stakes horses, including champion and multiple Gr1 winner Simple Verse, and the classic winners Nutan, Sound Of Freedom and Star Of Seville. One of over 300 stakes winners by legendary sire Danehill, Duke Of Marmalade’s half brother, Ruler Of The World (whose first foals are born this year) won the 2013 Gr1 Investec Derby while another half brother, Giovanni Canaletto has been placed in three major Derbies thus far. www.capebreeders.co.za

Bulls-Eye For Judpot! Varsfontein Stud’s well established sire Judpot was once again in the headlines at Turffontein on Saturday.

Lammerskraal Stud’s exciting resident sire, Go Deputy, looks to have a strong Triple Crown contender on his hands in the form of the Mike Azzie trained Abashiri.

he latter, who was bred by Lammerskraal, made it five wins from just seven outings when he romped home to land Saturday’s Gr1 SA Classic at Turffontein, and has now won two legs of the elusive Triple Crown. Racing for Adriaan and Rika Van Vuuren, Abashiri (who picked up a R152 500 BSA added value bonus for Saturday’s win) simply streaked clear to post an effortless and emphatic 3.75 length win over G1 Cape Guineas/Derby runner up Brazuca, with the Australian Samurai Blade back in third. The handsome gelding, who has already banked over R2 000 000, had previously won the Listed Sea Cottage Stakes by one and a half lengths, before romping home with the G2 Betting World Gauteng Guineas by two and a half lengths over R1.6 million earner Champagne Haze.

Abashiri is in line for a R2 000 000 bonus should he clinch the final leg of the Triple Crown. He was one of two stakes 3yos for sire Go Deputy this past weekend, with the latter’s son Welsh Emperor running a creditable third in Friday’s Listed East Cape Guineas. Winner of the G1 Sword Dancer Invitational (like leading US sire Theatrical and champion Main Sequence), Go Deputy won or placed in eight graded races during his illustrious career, which saw the blue blooded bay earn over $1 000 000 in stakes. He shares his dual champion sire Deputy Minister with leading sires Awesome Again (sire of champion and top sire Ghostzapper), Silver Deputy, Dehere, Salt Lake and Touch Gold, and Deputy Minister is also broodmare sire of hot US sire Curlin. Go Deputy, who descends directly in female line from the great mare Plucky Liege, is from the same family as mega sire Fappiano –the male

line ancestor of another Triple Crown winner in American Pharoah. He has 2 blue blooded lots on offer at the National Yearling Sale this month: Lot 106 – a half or full brother to 4 winners, including the stakes winner Grandalea, this colt is out of a four time winning Western Winter half sister to broodmare of the Year Akinfeet –whose offspring include the Western Winter sired champion and young sire Capetown Noir. Second dam is Cape Fillies Guineas winner Dance Every Dance –a daughter of champion sire and broodmare sire Northern Guest Lot 178 – this chestnut colt is out of a winning full sister to illfated Gr2 2yo Buran and to G1 filly Ice Belle. From the family of Cape Guineas winner Little Ballerina, this colt’s second dam is top class racemare Trojan Belle, whose seven wins included the Majorca Stakes (now a Gr1 race). www.capebreeders.co.za

JUST days earlier, Judpot’s close relative Real Steel had made world news when he won the G1 Dubai Turf and this time Judpot himself was in the news thanks to his daughter Juxtapose. The latter, bred by Varsfontein, became her sire’s third Grade One winner when she ran on strongly to land the spoils in Saturday’s Wilgerbosdrift Gr1 SA Fillies Classic, over a field which included the three of the first four home in the recent Gr2 Wilgerbosdrift Gauteng Fillies Guineas. Her sire Judpot (A P Indy –Miesque) is enjoying another tremendous season in 2015-2016, with his representatives this season including Gr2 Supreme Cup

winner and millionaire Deputy Jud, Listed Lady’s Pendant heroine Double Whammy, and multiple stakes winning filly Little Genie. A former Equus Outstanding Stallion, Judpot currently ranks as South Africa’s ninth leading sire, by stakes, with Judpot’s progeny having already earned over R6.4 million this season. Kingmambo’s half brother is strongly represented at both the Emperors Palace Select Yearling Sale and National Yearling Sale, with Judpot’s Select draft of five include a filly out of a stakes winning daughter of champion sire Jallad from the family of Judpot champion Along Came Polly (Lot 24), a colt (like Along Came Polly

out of a Model Man mare) out of a stakes winning own sister to a Gr1 SA Nursery winner (Lot 137), and a filly out of a winning Silvano half sister to top sprinters August Rush and Miss October (Lot 155). Judpot’s National Sales 22 strong draft includes a filly whose Gr2 winning dam is a half sister to a champion (Lot 59), a half brother to recent stakes winner Mambonick (Lot131), a colt whose stakes winning dam is a half sister to Gr2 winner and popular young sire Master Of My Fate (Lot171), a half sister to the talented Bull Valley (Lot 348), and a filly from Judpot’s own family (Lot 440). www.capebreeders.co.za

Bezrin Back Home

BEZRIN has returned to KZN and will be standing the 2016 breeding season at Yellow Star Stud, his original home after importation by Craig Ramsay to Golden Acres (now Yellow Star Stud). The son of Danzig has been the picture of consistency in his stud career and extremely good value, regularly bringing home the winners and the likes of top sprinter miler and Gr2 Charity Mile and KZN Breeders Million Mile winner Bezanova (bred by Clifton Stud), as well as a host of Stakes Winners including Jimmi Choo, Celtic Fire, Tetelestai and Thunderflash. Ashley De Klerk’s Putchini (bred by Yellow Star Stud)

has recently won twice from his last three starts, whilst pretrainer Jane Thomas has bred a lovely juvenile filly named Electric Lady – who won her last start after placing twice from all of her starts for David Niewenhuizen. Bezrin was a three time winner, including the Prix Montretout (L) in France and he placed four times (including two Listed races and two Gr3’s) having only being unplaced (fifth) once from nine starts. His second dam, My Darling One, was one of the best of her generation in the USA, winning five of her eight starts including the Gr1 Fantasy Stakes – the three

she never won, but placed in, were the Gr1 Kentucky Oaks, Las Virgenes Stakes and the Honeymoon Handicap. My Darling One was a bright chestnut with an abundance of white on her legs and a patch on her body, and although Bezrin is as similar to Northern Dancer in type, colour and size as possible, his progeny can be as similar to him as they are to his maternal grandmother with many inheriting her distinctive colour characteristics – either way they descend from champion stock. He produces sound horses who train on and get better as the years pass. www.kznbreeders.co.za

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 8th - SUNDAY 10th APRIL 2016

In an effort to continuously refine and improve their service offering, Tellytrack are experimenting with Alistair Cohen commentating on some of the Eastern Cape racing from the Tellytrack studios in Johannesburg.

ollowing enquiries from readers, the Sporting Post approached Tellytrack CEO Rob Scott for clarity. “Yes, indeed, Alistair is calling off-site from Rivonia and the idea is to try and maintain consistency for our international customers. Bumpy Schoeman still calls on course and while it’s a different dynamic calling off the monitor, if it works well we may want to eventually do the same for venues like Ngong,” he confirmed. For many punters, Schoeman is a legend and the true voice of PE. But his homegrown tone is understood with some difficulty by various sectors of the international audience. Many years ago Craig Peters was flown in to PE to call in Bumpy’s place as viewers in Singapore and Hong Kong had difficulty with his accent.

Legend

Schoeman’s absence on air will be missed by many of us. The man who got his nickname from the way he danced (obviously in the early years!) started out as assistant to Larry Weir, Doug Fox and Pat Hurley and his voice has echoed over the former Arlington and Fairview for the past 35 years. He was also commentator in Kimberley for twenty years until being replaced by the young gun Alastair Cohen Schoeman’s dedication to his profession was vividly illustrated by the fact that he religiously drove the long road with the Clerk Of Scales from Port Elizabeth to Kimberley every Monday, leaving at three o’ çlock in the morning and getting home way after midnight – a round trip of some 15 hours for all those years! Scott was adamant that Tellytrack are listening to viewers and appreciate

and value any constructive feedback. We have to admit is always willing to take a call and speak openly, amd also took some flak for streaming issues encountered on Saturday – as well as a personal dig at his personal dress code, while he was handing out trophies at Turffontein on Classic Day. Regular poster Extravagantlyhorseracing wrote on www,sportingpost.co.za comments: I suppose it’s unreasonable to expect the international streaming to be working whilst Rob Scott hands out trophies, bow tie and all.

Dress For Success

Scott took the jibe in his stride and explained that he was a Director of the Racing Association and as such, was obliged to perform duties allied thereto. “I acknowledge that we had streaming issues on Saturday and these were mostly related to browser upgrades on the part of individual recipients. But we are improving our communication immediately with the introduction of space on our website to provide advice and information to viewers. By Wednesday we will also be talking via bulk sms to our viewers to facilitate better service delivery.” He went on to say that Bumpie Schoeman’s services were being retained as on-course commentator and any action to improve or facilitate better delivery to the wider customer base should not be interpreted as a vindictive act against anybody or a mercenary shot in the face of loyalty from a long-serving contractor. He also added that viewers may want to consider that Alistair Cohen had been instructed to do a job of work and that criticising him was possibly a misdirection. “Whether I choose to agree with them or not, I do read all the comments on the sites regularly and take remedial action where we see that improvements can be made,” he said.

Silvano Gelding For Europe Aimed at staying races

TELLINA, who was “nosed” out of sixth place and a stake cheque in the Dubai Gold Cup a fortnight ago, will be shipped to Germany to campaign in Europe before returning to Dubai for the 2017 Carnival. The six-year-old gelding by Silvano was well placed throughout in the 3200m marathon before running out of steam in the last 400m and Justin Vermaak, on behalf of owners Dr Andreas and Mrs Natalie Jacobs of Maine Chance Farms, commented: “It looks like Tellina may be best suited to distances up to 2400m. He will travel to Germany via the UK and we’ll be looking at contesting one or two Gr1’s in Germany and perhaps even a Gr1 in Italy later this year. “Tellina will return to the UAE for the 2017 term and have a chance of winning one of the lucrative pre-World Cup handicaps.” www.greenstreetbloodstock.co.za

NHA SGM Called

In terms of Clause 26 of the Constitution of the National Horseracing Authority (“NHA”), any amendment to the Constitution shall be by way of a special resolution, passed at a Special General Meeting called for that purpose.

he National Board has resolved to call, and notice is accordingly hereby given of, a Special General Meeting to be held on Wednesday, 20 April 2016 at 14h30, at the Head Office of the NHA, Turf Club Street, Turffontein, to consider and vote on the proposed amendments to the Constitution as set out in the document titled: “Proposed Amendments to the

Constitution of The National Horseracing Authority – March 2016” a copy of which can be downloaded off theirwebsite, nhra.co.za An explanatory memorandum, relevant to the proposed amendments to the Constitution, (together with the prior explanatory memorandum of December 2015), can also be downloaded off www.nhra.co.za. Also available for download are the Proposed Amendments to

Andy O'Connor, NHA Chairman the Constitution of The National horseracing Authority – March 2016 and a proxy form for the Special General Meeting.

Racing Operators In Arrears Beware Cloak & Dagger NHA I write this under the pain of possibly suffering unjust and conscious discrimination. One of the altered provisions of the Constitution gives the Board of the NHA powers to get rid of members. It reads:- “The NATIONAL BOARD, after affording a MEMBER a hearing and giving reasons, may cancel the membership of that MEMBER if it is of the opinion that the MEMBER is or has been guilty of improper or dishonest conduct, or has abused his position or status as a MEMBER, is unfit to be a MEMBER or has, in any way brought the NATIONAL HORSERACING AUTHORITY into disrepute.” I believe that this change is against public policy. The clause is too wide and too far reaching and so is the discretion given to the Board. Put simply, if the Board is of the opinion – despite their opinion being wrong – that the member’s conduct falls under the wide meaning of the clause -then they can cancel the members membership and goodbye member. The NHA board has not informed members of the correct facts in its explanatory memorandum. The following is stated by the Board of the NHA. “The proposed amendments to the Constitution were not approved by the requisite majority of members, at the January SGM. This was because the breeders, in particular, expressed a concern that the proposed amendments risked that their interests might not appropriately be catered for in terms of the revised Board structure and nomination process.” The truth of the matter is that the NHA Board did not put all of the January 2016 proposed amendments to the vote. Mr Rian du Plessis, the CEO of Phumelela and a director of the NHA stated that there was no need to put the issues to the vote as it was clear that they would not be passed. Not a single individual comprising the NHA Board opposed Mr Du

Plessis and that effectively caused the Special General Meeting (“SGM”) to be brought to an end. To the best of my recollection, it was never stated by anyone at the SGM that the Breeders opposed the amendment because the Breeders were concerned about their interests. As I recall, Breeders expressed their objection through the TBA. It sent emails to its members. I expected the NHA Board to have put out a forthright explanation but they have not. It is disheartening. The minutes of the last SGM -held in January 2016 – have been requested and to date they have not been provided. I doubt that they will be provided prior to the next SGM on 20 April 2016. The failure by the NHA to publish the minutes of the January 2016 SGM (and the 2016 AGM) is confirmation to me that there is a lack of caring for members and a lack of sufficient transparency. When it comes to a meeting of members, as I understand it, there is a duty to make disclosure of all relevant information. The Board of the NHA has not done so. The obligation is to provide material information as will fully and fairly inform members of what is to be considered at the meeting and for which their proxy is sought. The information needs to be enough to enable members to judge for themselves whether to attend the meeting and vote for or against the changes to the Constitution or whether to leave the decision to be determined by the majority at the SGM. The NHA Board is not allowed to turn a blind eye or neglect relevant issues in its explanatory

memorandum. They must not avoid placing before members information which may contradict or qualify any particular position taken by them. I believe that they have. The NHA Board knows that a member’s right to receive the necessary information arises from an implied term in the contract between the NHA and the member. The NHA board know or ought to know that a member has the right to insist that he or his fellow members do not receive information which is inaccurate. I have been informed that the NHA reads all websites which deal with SA horseracing. The NHA Board has provided an inaccurate explanatory memorandum and has failed to deal with and explain the reasons for each change. I ask that it immediately correct the situation. This unnecessary cloak and dagger stuff by the NHA Board needs to end. What irks me is that the biggest debtors of the NHA, who are the Operators were all – at time of the January 2016 AGM – in arrears with their payments to the NHA (and may also be in arrears currently). What has the NHA done? It certainly hasn’t taken steps against the Operators. The NHA should be suing the Operators. To hear a representative of the NHA saying that its job is to look after the interests of Phumelela is extremely disheartening and worrisome. The NHA is supposed to be an independent regulatory body. I have plenty more to say. I will let you know when I get my notice to attend an Inquiry.

Turﬀontein Aintree Oversubscribed… Undersubscribed The 2014 winner Pineau De Re is in danger of missing the cut for Saturday’s Grand National at Aintree. Nine withdrawals have left 87 entries remaining for the £1m race, with a maximum of 40 horses allowed to run. While 2015 runner-up Saint Are is now guaranteed a run, Pineau De Re’s trainer Dr Richard Newland needs at least three defections before Thursday’s deadline.

MICK UPDATE Summerhill supremo Mick Goss was discharged from hospital late last week after being admitted again on Easter Sunday. The word from the farm is that he is happy to be back at home and has been overwhelmed by the interest and support from across the world. We wish Mick and Cheryl well.

A Look In The Mirror A BHA report has highlighted a number of eye-opening ﬁndings, including the suggestion the body lacks the expertise to properly judge the merits of a given ride, an acknowledgement of a feeling of ‘them and us’ between the sport’s participants and the BHA, and an acceptance of pettiness within the disciplinary process. How does the NHA feel?

Only seven horses were entered for the R1-million Gr1 Empress Club Stakes to be run over 1600m at Turﬀontein on Saturday 16 April. The cutoﬀ for the two feature races on Empress Club Stakes Day – the other is the 2450m Listed Spook Express Handicap, which attracted 10 nominations, was extended by the National Racing Bureau. Where are the horses?

Not His Best UK trainer Jim Best has been banned from racing for four years with immediate eﬀect after being found guilty of ordering conditional jockey Paul John to stop two horses from running on their merits. Best was found to be a “dishonest individual who corrupted a young man” by the disciplinary panel, while the BHA slammed the trainer, branding his behaviour “reprehensible and an abuse of the privilege of holding a licence to train racehorses”.

No Fear

Fear Not, ﬁfth in the Klawervlei Majorca and the Vasco Prix Du Cap, has had a throat operation. Adam Marcus said: “She was showing signs of having an entrapped epiglottis which means she could choke up in her races. There are some suitable features for her at Kenilworth over the next few months so I won’t be taking her to Durban. On her day she is only just oﬀ the best although she does need things to go her way,” he told Michael Clower.

ANTI-SOCIAL MEDIA

“If you’re not patting us on the back then don’t go on social media” seems to be the overriding attitude of those running racing. Please turn up day in, day out and part with your hard-earned cash but don’t have an opinion on track condition unless it is full of praise. We want you to spend your spare time engaging with our media assets and improving our balance sheet but don’t question how we run things as that isn’t good for the image of racing….This comes from an Australian publication. Sound familiar?

Mixed Emotions Talking It was with a heavy heart that Tommy Berry rode at Sha Tin on the second anniversary of his twin brother Nathan’s death on Sunday but the consummate professional still came away with a win on John Moore-trained sprinter Bad Boy. Nathan Berry died in Sydney on April 3, 2014 after a short battle with illness and Tommy admitted his thoughts were with his tight-knit family back home.

Bull

Bush Hill’s value for money stallion Toreador has produced 10 winners and 24 places from his runners since 1 March. He also sired another Gr3 winner when Bull Valley won on Classic Day. He will be represented at the upcoming National Yearling Sale by seven progeny, two of them half-siblings each to Equus Horse Of The Year, Irish Flame and the stakes winner Bezanova.

July Entries

A reminder to owners and trainers that entries for the R3,5 million Gr1 Vodacom Durban July to be run at Greyville (on turf!) on Saturday 2 July close at 11h00 on Wednesday 13 April. Entries must be accompanied by a non-refundable fee of R2280 for each horse entered. How time ﬂies!

Candice Robinson

Business As Usual Candice Robinson has carried her fair share of the mantle at Mike Bass Racing for the last decade and a half, but was thrust into the front line in no uncertain terms when Mike fell ill late last year. While Mike is back at work and well on the road to recovery, the family announced that Mike will be handing over the reins to his daughter at the end of the season. Trainer, competitive rider, wife and mother is a lot to manage all at once, but there are no doubts Candice is up to the job. IT’S a blustery autumn morning at Milnerton training centre. There is a familiar knot of people under the palm tree at Bass HQ as the morning strings ring past the team. The only visible sign of anything out of the ordinary is that Mike Bass is seated in a wheel chair, but other than that, all eyes are on the horses and it’s business as usual. As the second string returns from work, the team make their way back to the office for a warming cup of coffee, to compare notes on the horses that were passed through the pens and to catch up on the cricket score.

About Candice Candice Robinson is the eldest child and only daughter of Mike and Carol Bass. Born on 9 August 1974 means she will be taking over the helm of one of the Cape’s premier stables at the somewhat tender age of 42. How does she feel about that? “It was obviously going to happen at some point, but my father’s illness brought the decision on a bit earlier. He’s back at work now and the plan is that everything will just continue as normal. Although I spent a few years in the corporate world, I’ve been here on a permanent basis for about 15 years now. My biggest role model in training horse is my father and in life in general both my parents. I try to base all my decisions, choices and values as they would, so nothing will really change. We’ll still operate under Bass Racing, but you can only have one active trainers’ license in a yard, so I’ll write my exam and things will change to my name at the end of the season. Other than that, we’ll carry on as we are.” When asked whether it is intimidating being a woman in a male dominated industry, she is refreshingly frank. “There was probably a small concern to begin with, but I’ve grown up in the industry,

so it’s not new to me. We’ve got a really loyal client base and everyone has been very supportive. “I think it would be different if I was starting out from scratch, but that would be hard for anyone I think. The industry has changed a lot and starting out in today’s environment is probably not something I’d advise. Like Justin Snaith I’m very lucky to be part of an established racing family and to be honest, I think it’s hard for anyone trying to do it any other way these days.”

Concerns Her concerns are far more practical. “It’s a big operation and there’s a lot of work and stress that goes with that and I think the biggest challenge is learning to trust yourself. I know I’m more than capable, but there’s always that bit of doubt at the back of your mind. I’ve always been like that, I guess it’s part of my character. Whenever I have to do something new I wonder ‘How am I going to do this?’, but once you put me there, I get on and do it to the best of my ability and strangely enough I always seem to perform well under stress. “Because my father was ill, this year was the first time I went to look at yearlings in Australia by myself. I was nervous to begin with, but after the first day, I started feeling a lot more comfortable. I learnt from the best and we have similar taste, so I think I came home with some nice ones.”

Competitive edge While her tone is light, it is clear she relished the challenge and there is a definite sense of someone with a strong sense of purpose and determination. Is she a competitive person? “I’m very competitive and I don’t like losing,” she states firmly. “I played a lot of sport at school including athletics

for which I have my province colours for high jump. I still hold the high jump record at Milnerton primary,” she says proudly. “But I gave all that up for riding.” It is a little known fact that Candice is a very accomplished competitive rider in the disciplines of showing and dressage, although she has focussed more on her dressage recently. “I used to do a lot of showing when I had Thoroughbreds.” Candice used to be a show judge, but has given that up - “I’d rather save my back for my own horses. It’s also a time thing. But now I’m hooked on dressage and own a gorgeous Dutch Warmblood.” It is interesting that someone who is at the top of their profession in the speed game of racing is also interested in its polar opposite – the game of collection. How do the two compare? “For me dressage is far more challenging and technical. It’s something I am passionate about, so it’s something I make time for. I go and ride at lunchtime. It helps get rid of stress, otherwise I’d be constantly under pressure.” Her current ambition is to get to ride at Grand Prix level, but as with all things involving horses, it hasn’t been smooth sailing. “It’s been a bit of a higgledy piggeldy year. I had back issues last year and was out for six months. We just got going again and won the Musical Kur and WP EM Dressage Champs, then my father got sick while I was in Germany. My current horse is injured and I would love to have a second bow to my string to achieve my dream, but financially it’s rather a costly exercise,” she explains. Does the showing and dressage side help with selecting racehorses? “You have to keep the two quite separate and be careful not to be swayed by horses that are too pretty, but it’s nice to have an eye for both. The two disciplines can complement each other. We’re very lucky

to have Belinda Haytread as our work rider. She’s an extremely good horsewoman and often uses her schooling techniques to help our race horses. She’s a huge asset to the yard. Men tend to focus on getting a horse fit. I think having a female touch and a bit of subtlety and finesse can pay dividends.”

Selecting winners How does she pick horses? Proving that the honest answers are often the best, she answers, “There are usually a few obvious horses on every sale that everyone is after, but basically we look at everything. That’s how you find the little cheapie pin hooks which may not have a flash pedigree, but are nice types. Ernie is a case in point – if we hadn’t pulled him out, we may have missed out on him. One always looks a the proven sires, but there are so many freshmen stallions these days, it’s hard to know where to look.” Mike often makes one or two unconventional purchases at sales and Candice confirms, “There’s always something he likes and is going to buy. We’ll often try and get something to put together in the yard for clients – Line Break was one of those.” Is there any preference for fillies, colts, sprinters or stayers, etc? “We’ve had very good sprinters, milers and stayers and different horses takes different types of training. My father has always been good with fillies, which is a good trait. Have there been any particular favourites over the years? “We’ve had some really good horses, but I’d have to say Pocket. All those Queen’s Plates and all those Mets. We got a bit spoilt with that.”

Multi-tasking Candice handles a lot of the yard’s admin side, including the salaries and accounts, but is grateful that her brother Mark handles the marketing and PR side of things. “I don’t enjoy that side of it much. I’m a bit shy really.” It’s hard to imagine the gorgeous blonde who always looks a million bucks on big race days as shy, but it suddenly

makes her very human. “I like dressing up, but it’s another thing to have to balance. Just getting your hair done takes hours, so you can’t do it every time, but it’s nice to make an effort for the big days.” Candice is married to Connell and the couple have an 8 year old son named Nicholas, who she has to juggle dropping off and collecting from school every day. “It took 10 years to start a family and I always put it off because I was too busy. Thankfully we’ve got a great team at work as well as at home, otherwise it would be very difficult.”

Current string “The last two years have been a bit light, but we’ve got a nice string at the moment and have bought some nice babies over the last two years, so we’ve got some up and coming juveniles to look forward to.” Asked about their recordbreaking sales graduates from the 2015 CTS Premier Sale, Candice confirms that the Trippi half sister to Cold As Ice called Live Life ran second first time out and won comfortably at the second time of asking. “She’s a nice filly.” The R5 million colt will be kept back to race as a three year old. “We’ve sent 12 to Durban for the season and have another 5 or 6 to go, so

we’ll probably end up with 20. Robert Fayd’herbe is managing the Durban string for us at the moment. Inara will fly the flag and will be going to Joburg for the Empress Club Stakes. Then we’ll decide between the July and the Garden Province.” “Helderberg Blue will go for staying races this year, so we’ll try that angle with him; Fly By Night will go for the sprints. Wake Up Maggie will try the Allan Robertson and Lanner Falcon the Fillies Sprint. “It will be the last season for Lanner Falcon and Inara before they go to stud. Silver Mountain will be another of our big feature season hopes. She’s had a break and is back in work and doing well. We’ll probably stick to the fillies races for her, so she’ll aim for the KZN Guineas and then the Grade 1’s like the Woolavington and Garden Province.” “Paterfamilias has done a tendon twice now, so that is a concern, but he’s holding up well and his main aim will be the Gold Challenge. We’ll run Marinaresco in the Cape Winter Guineas and take it from there.” With the Bass CV it’s hard to imagine there are too many challenges left, but are there any ambitions Candice is still hoping to achieve? “We have to win the Colts Guineas before we give up. That’s one race that’s eluded us.”

Fairview 28th March

Three of the nine races at Monday’s poly track meeting were run over 1300m and quickest home amongst these was HARMSTON HERALD in the MR60 Handicap. Usually one to run on stoutly from off the pace, the daughter of Muhtafal raced handy here. She was ridden to lead early in the short home straight and cruised clear in the latter stages of the race to score by seven and a half. Another to win with lengths to spare on this card was Harmston Herald’s stable companion JUNIPER when getting off the mark in the faster of the two 1000m races, a maiden plate. She too raced close to the pace and won going away by four and a half after striking the front 200m out. The first of three winners on the card for Corne Spies was REFRAIN in the opening maiden juvenile plate over 1000m.

d ’s Top Rate Last Week 'S winners incl. ATING SPEED R WON 8/1

Rewarded for consistency here, the daughter of Miesque’s Approval was always handy. She took up the running as they approached the 200m marker and drew clear easily late on to score by two and three quarters. The non-black type East Cape Poly Challenge over 1200m topped the bill and in what proved to be a real thriller victory here went to GOGETTHESHERIFF. Always one to run on stoutly from off the pace, Jacque Strydom’s charge looked to have too much to do at the top of the straight. He fairly flew over the final 400m though, and got up in the very last stride to deny HAPPY LION (handy-led 200m). TITBITS The 16/1 shot PRETTY AND POPULAR ran on well from midfield when winning the maiden plate over 1900m going away by two and a quarter.

They raced on the inside track on Tuesday where the faster of the maiden juvenile plates over 1400m that got proceedings underway was the boy’s affair won by DAWN ASSAULT. Freely available at 8/1 on the off, St John Gray’s charge sat sixth of the eight early on. He ran on strongly over the final 400m and with the rest some four lengths adrift, he did well to collar the front running JUST AS FRISKY in the very last stride. All the rage to win the girl’s division was FURSA. Always in the red in what was a very false paced affair, Mike De Kock’s charge made all. She asserted her authority as they approached the 300m marker and cruised clear in the closing stages of the race to score by five. Another strongly fancied runner to do the business was RAINY DAY BLUES in the bill topping MR86 Handicap over 2000m. He got away well when the gates opened and was soon positioned close to the speed. He put his head in front approaching the 400m pole and after quickly going clear he won with authority from the running on SMART MART. Three of the afternoon’s eight races were staged over 1000m and quickest against the clock in these was FIDELIO

Flying Late Turffontein 31st March

Surprisingly the faster of the two 1200m races at Thursday’s inner track meeting was the opening maiden plate won by MIRACLE BUREAU. Drawn wide, Joey Soma’s charge raced in the rear during the early part of the race. Once in the short home straight though he quickened well, and went on to score comfortably by two after striking the front 200m out. The faster of the two 1450m races was the MR88 Handicap won by the supported CORAL FEVER. Backed into 28/10 from 9/2 at the track, the recently gelded 3yo raced in midfield. He made his move coming off the strip and won

well by a length after hitting the front 100m out. Third placed WILL PAYS didn’t find the clearest of passages when running on from midfield to fill third position in this race. Quickest home in the two 2000m maiden plates was DETONATION in the boy’s division. Another to run on stoutly from off the pace, the son of Dynasty fairly flew over the final 400m and won going away by two and three quarters. TITBITS The well-bred 3yo NOTHER RUSSIA recorded her second career victory from just four starts when winning the MR68 Handicap over 1800m.

in the MR72 Handicap. Allowed to ease out to 11/1 from 7’s at the track, the son of Argonaut was soon up handy. He was ridden to lead going through the 200m and went on to score comfortably from the running on TIGER’S LEGACY by two. TITBITS Sent off as the rank outsider of the party at 30/1, ROZARIO quickened very nicely late when getting off the mark in the maiden plate over 1000m. STREET FLYER ran on well from midfield when getting up late to win the MR72 Handicap over 1700m.

US Classic Day Influence

While Australian bred thoroughbreds filled the second, third and fourth spots in the Gr1 SA Classic, it was North American bred and raced sires who well and truly made their presence felt at Turffontein on Classic Day last Saturday, writes Sarah Whitelaw.

he late, great sire Al Mufti was among the prominent US bred sires to make a mark on the day, with the son of Roberto sire of Captain Al (whose daughter Cloth Of Cloud won the Gr3 Pretty Polly Stakes). Captain Al’s son, Captain America, ran another consistent race when second to Legal Eagle (by the US bred Greys Inn) in the Gr1 H F Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut Stakes and Captain America has now banked over R3.2 million in prize money. His sire, last season’s champion sire, had no fewer than three winners on the day. Al Mufti is also damsire of former Equus Champion, Jay Peg, whose daughters, Peggy Jay, landed the spoils in the Gr3 Jacaranda Handicap, and Negroamaro (Fort Wood).ran second in the Gr1 SA Fillies Classic. Another daughter of Jay Peg, She’s A Dragon, showed her class with a good third in the day’s Gr1

Wilgerbosdrift SA Fillies Classic and she looks destined to win a good race before too long.

Trippi Former US bred Grade One winner, Trippi, whose son, Brilliant Crimson, had won Friday’s Listed East Cape Guineas, was responsible for a pair of stakes performed runners on Saturday, with his son African Ruler finishing second in the Gr3 Man O’War Sprint and another son, Flying Myth, filling the third berth in the Gr3 Protea Stakes.

Judpot The US bred Judpot was represented by his third individual Gr1 winner when his daughter, Juxtapose, caused an upset in the Gr1 Wilgerbosdrift SA Fillies Classic. The runner up, Negroamaro, is a daughter of the great (US bred) sire, Fort Wood, while high class US bred Go Deputy (Deputy Minister) and Mambo In Seattle (Kingmambo) were

responsible for Abashiri (Gr1 SA Classic) and Fortune Fella (Gr3 Caradoc Gold Cup). Interestingly, one mare, whose descendants feature with almost monotonous regularity on Classic Day was the mighty Lassie Dear (Buckpasser). She is surely one of the greatest mares in the modern stud book, with Lassie Dear’s sons including the above mentioned Al Mufti, sire of Captain Al and damsire of Jay Peg (Camden Park).Jay Peg, whose offspring include a pair of graded winners out of daughters of Captain Al, is inbred to the great Lassie Dear. The latter is dam of Broodmare Of The Year, Weekend Surprise, whose champion son, A P Indy, is grandsire of Jay Peg, while Lassie Dear’s son, Al Mufti, as mentioned, is the former champion’s broodmare sire. Mambo In Seattle, whose dam is a Gr1 placed own sister to Horse Of The Year and dual US champion sire,

Judpot A P Indy, continued the great run of form for Lassie Dear and her tribe on Saturday’s big day when his son, Fortune Fella, won the Gr3 Caradoc Gold Cup. Mambo In Seattle’s third dam is Lassie Dear. (Remarkably, the first three home in the Caradoc Gold Cup all feature Lassie Dear in their pedigrees). Fortune Fella is another inbred to Gr3 Villager Stakes winner Lassie Dear, with the gelding’s dam being a

Avontuur’s Wow Factor Avontuur’s first entry into the Emperor’s Palace Select Yearling Sale this year is happening in fine style with five excellent colts leading the charge for this prestige event. The group includes two Oratorio’s, and a Var.

“The stand-out for this Sale is Lot 150, a flashy grey by Oratorio out of Gr 1 winner Sarabande, who is beautiful and well-related. The second son of Oratorio is Graduate (Lot 193) out of Varsity Queen from the family of achievers like Mastermind and Schiffer. He is rugged and handsome, and looks like a real winner,“ says Avontuur GM Pippa Mickleburgh. The rest of the crop includes robust La Scala (Silvano x La Normandie) who is a half-brother to Normanz and exciting newcomer Le Harve, and (Lot 177)Talk of The Town, a smashing chestnut colt (Var x Street Wise) who is big and strong with a stallion’s pedigree. “The yearlings are available for viewing from Tuesday, 12 April and we are looking forward to the event as I believe that the outstanding group we’re offering is eminently suitable for this Select Sale,” says Pippa. The National Yearling Sale is more of a mixed bag with Var’s ruling the roost, although an excellent Oratorio and some exciting new blood in the form of sire Gimmethegreenlight and the in-the-news Jay Peg should tickle the buyers’ fancy. Ladies first, and with four fillies getting ready for the event Avontuur is especially excited about Lot 422 Kindavar, who is the first foal of the Jet Master mare Without Malice, an 8 times race winner herself. “She is tall, a good walker and my pick of the fillies,” Pippa says. The rest of the Var fillies include Lot 21 Sweet Treat who is correct and

athletic and a half-sister to Vous et Var and Lot 163, the first foal from Jeter, who is a real speedball, and closely related to Le Clos, currently proving his class on course. The last filly (Lot 227) is by upcoming sire Jay Peg, a tall racy sort who is the close family of Varbration and Captain’s Lullabye. The only Oratorio on this Sale is Lot 314 Chantyman out of Sea of Calm (USA), a high quality colt who is a good mover and halfbrother to Balkan and Princess Katrina. Pippa commented especially on Lot 398 Keyboogie (Gimmethegreenlight x Valeta) and said he is a very flashy, good looking colt, who is a half-brother to the exciting 3yo Val et Al and should attract a lot of attention. Duffield (Lot 452) is a precocious full brother to Twitter (Var x Avian Talk), and is a flashy speed machine. Hampton Court (Lot 192) by Var is a classy, attractive medium-sized colt who is a nice trainer’s horse out of London Belle, now retired as a broodmare. “I believe Sweet Treat and Kindavar are outstanding on the fillies side, and the three colts which get my pick are Chantyman, Duffield and Keyboogie. The Avontuur Stud Lounge Hospitality area will be open for viewings and socialising from 21 April and we look forward to welcoming all interested parties from then,” Pippa concluded.

daughter of the ubiquitous Al Mufti (Roberto).

Wolfhound Yet another son of Lassie Dear, the former Gary Player stud inmate, Wolfhound, made his mark at last week’s Dubai World Cup night, with the former Gr1 Prix de la Foret winning son of Nureyev featuring as broodmare sire of Gr1 Golden Shaheen winner, Muarrab (Oasis Dream). Wolfhound, whose daughter, Licence To Thrill (dam of Muarrab) is a truly outstanding broodmare, currently ranks among the world’s top 50 broodmare sires (according to The Blood-Horse). His half brother, Al Mufti, is currently South Africa’s third leading damsire, with the former champion sire having led that list back in 2013. (Yet another out of an Al Mufti mare is Arabian Winter, winner of Friday’s Oaks Plate). Lassie Dear, dam of Al Mufti and Wolfhound and second dam of A P Indy et al, was one of the very best broodmare daughters of US champion Buckpasser, widely regarded as one of the finest broodmare sires in history. Champion Broodmare Sire in North America on three occasions, the son of Tom Fool is damsire of numerous high class stakes winners including the important stallions El Gran Senor, Private Account, Seeking

The Gold and Woodman. He is also found in the pedigrees of such leading sires as Galileo, Unbridled, and Kitten’s Joy, among others, and countless Gr1 winners (including brilliant recent Dubai World Cup winner, California Chrome) are inbred to the great racehorse and broodmare sire.

Duke Of Marmalade Lassie Dear herself is the second dam of champion, Lemon Drop Kid (a Kingmambo three parts brother to Mambo In Seattle), whose offspring include over 80 stakes winners and who is one of the best sire sons of Kingmambo. She is also third dam of European champion and successful sire, Duke Of Marmalade (Danehill). The latter, who is now based at Drakenstein Stud, had yet another good weekend with his daughter, Diamond Made, winning Saturday’s Gr3 Adrian Knox Stakes at Randwick. Not surprisingly, given his pedigree (Kingmambo also being an outstanding broodmare sire) and success at stud, Lemon Drop Kid is also now making his mark as a broodmare sire. The nearly 30 black type winners out of Lemon Drop Kid mares include the Gr1 winners Elusive Kate (Elusive Quality), Lochte (Medaglia D’Oro) and Unbridled Forever (Unbridled’s Song).
