Lord Marshal gets the blinkers first time on Saturday

Gr3 WINTER GUINEAS at Kenilworth on Saturday

T

The Cape winter season kicks off in style at Kenilworth on Saturday with the running of the R250 000 Tekkie Town Gr3 Winter Guineas on the mile summer course. A capacity field of sixteen is headed

by Gr2 Selangor Cup winner, Hard Day’s Night.

he race really does look wide open with fitness a question in a few cases – and a 2kg weight spread from a top MR of 98 to an ambitious 79 at the other end of the spectrum.

Ramsden Runners

Milnerton trainer Joey Ramsden knows his way around this series and saddles a quality coupling, topped by the highest rated galloper in the event.

A son of Warm White Night, Hard Day’s Night beat Victorious Jay in the Gr2 Selangor Cup in November and signalled himself a serious classic prospect for the summer. But that was a false alarm.

Joey must be tearing his hair out as his Cape Guineas effort (admittedly from a bad draw) was followed by a flat run in the CTS Million Dollar.

His run 9 weeks ago in a Conditions Plate when 4,50 lengths off Big Cat was also disappointing – he had no excuses really and carried a handy 52kgs.

While Hard Day’s Night is drawn a bit wide, stablemate Mr Wise Guy jumps on the paint. The son of Visionaire has won three times from eleven starts but has not been exposed at feature level yet, with two lower handicap wins earlier on.

Lord Kannemeyer

Trainer Dean Kannemeyer had a welcome winner at Kenilworth on Saturday and will be looking for his Cape yard to up the ante after a dream winning run from his KZN Summerveld base.

He slots the blinkers on the consistent Lord Marshal for the first time. Well drawn, the lightly tried son of Horse Chestnut has been on the fringes during the summer and the headgear could make all the difference.

Justin Snaith saddles a coupling headed by Langerman winner, Ready To Attack.

The Australian bred beat Lord Marshal at his penultimate start at level weights but had no answers in the Cape Guineas where he ran downfield. With the departure of Richard Fourie, top man Anthony Delpech is in town and the real concern must be the 18 week break.

Stablemate Elusive Silva has drawn wide and also returns from a break following a good post-maiden win.

The well-bred son of Silvano looks progressive – but difficult to assess on exposed form.

Bass Bomber

Mike Bass’ Marinaresco has good form and looks to have stayed at home with this series in mind.

He ran an excellent third to It’s My Turn in the Investec

Cape Derby and is bound to be a factor with improved fitness in the next two legs.

Stablemate Icy Trail has won twice from six starts and has match fitness on his side.

He will need to improve but looks to have the capacity to do so.

Richard Fourie rides Royal Badge who was beaten some 9 lengths by Marinaresco in the Cape Derby. He won his previous two starts well and could be the dark horse in an open race.

Greg Ennion’s Eighth Wonder ran only 1,50 lengths behind Marinaresco in the Cape Derby but disappointed last time when fifth, 4,10 lengths off Brilliant Crimson in the Listed East Cape Guineas.

The Cape Classic winner has drawn very wide here, but is a course and distance winner and capable of earning at best.

Crawford Quartet

Brett Crawford saddles a quartet of form runners.

Poorly drawn Vilakazi won 2 from 4 but ran a below-par race last time when no show behind Milton in an MR 98 Handicap.

Bernard Fayd’herbe rides the consistent Whisky Baron who looks like he could still be a few points ahead of the handicapper and on the improve – like many of his compatriots. Two decent places followed his maiden

win and he turns out a fit horse.

Crawford stable jockey Corne Orffer rides Search Party, who could be held

by Eighth Wonder on his penultimate – and was well beaten by a filly last time.

This Is Sparta is the fourth of the Crawford runners and has won two from four against weaker.

The Rest

Rahvar finished marginally ahead of Whisky Baron last time but has a 3kg weight swing against him.

PE challenger Fly Like The

Wind is consistent and was not disgraced on his previous Cape start. He may enjoy the long run in of the summer course.

Eric Sands’ well-bred Streak Of Silver has to improve further on his last run but tries a mile for the first time.

He has some ground to make up on his half-brother Potala Palace.

In an open race, we have narrowed it down to Ready To Attack, Hard Day’s Night, Marinaresco, Lord Marshal and the scopy Whisky Baron.

But go as wide as possible in the exotics.

The Power Of Winter THE R1 million Cape Winter Series for three-year-old colts and geldings will forever be famous for unearthing the great Pocket Power.

He landed the Winter Series ‘triple crown’ in 2006. The rest of the country had hardly noticed the Capetonian excitement at this achievement, because he had apparently not been considered good enough to make the journey to the Champions Season in KZN. However, maestro Milnerton-based trainer Mike Bass had deliberately kept the son of Jet Master at home due to his immaturity and the strapping bay gelding went on to become one of the all-time greats of the South African turf, winning nine Gr 1 races, including the J&B Met three-times in succession and the Gr 1 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate a record four times in succession.

Since the coming of age of Pocket Power, no true racing fan around the country has ignored the Winter Series races and has taken careful note of the winners.

Two years ago the Dean Kannemeyertrained Power King went close to emulating

Pocket Power, winning the first two legs and finishing a close second in the last leg. He went on to win the Vodacom Durban July.

In 2012 Variety Club, one of South Africa’s greatest ever milers, and a proven international performer, won the Gr 3 Tekkie Town Winter Guineas before departing for the Champions Season in KZN, where he obliterated his contemporaries in the Gr 2 KRA Guineas before slamming the best older horses in the country in the Gr 1 Rising Sun Gold Challenge.

This season the colts and geldings Winter Series carries a R250 000 bonus which will be paid to the owners of any horse which is able to win all three legs.

The Winter Series schedule is as follows: Leg 1: R250 000 Tekkie Town Winter Guineas (Grade 3) 1600m – Saturday 23 April Leg 2: R250 000 The Winter Classic (Grade 3) 1800m - Saturday 21 May Leg 3: R250 000 The Winter Derby, (Grade 3) 2400m - Saturday 25 June

The Mike Bass trained Arabian Winter could make it two from two at Fairview

SWEET CHESTNUT STAKES (Listed) at Kenilworth on Saturday

K

The Cape trainers are coming to the party! Two well filled features launch the Cape Winter Season at Kenilworth on Saturday. Now all we need is some rain.

The weatherman, a generally bad tipster on a good day, suggests we should get some by the weekend.

enilworth Track Manager Dean Diedericks confirmed in a telephone interview as we went to press that the racing would remain on the summer course at Kenilworth until the end of May. “That is the time that we usually switch tracks and the course is in beautiful nick as we speak. The track is running evenly at this point in time. We really would welcome some rain as 75mms fell two weeks back – and that is our sum total for the past four months! We do however irrigate the track daily, taking cognisance of course of the reduce evaporation as a result of more moderate day-time temperatures. I expect the false rail to be in the same position as last weekend, but will make that decision on Thursday,” said Diedericks who has received national accolades for track management.

Feature The fillies feature is the R150 000 Listed Sweet Chestnut Stakes, where fifteen runners line up over the 1400m.

Mike Bass trained the great filly after whom the race is named and he saddles a trio, headed by

star galloper Inara’s full-sister, Inanna. She travelled to PE for her last outing when narrowly pipped

by A Time To Dream in the Listed Breeders Guineas. That followed a smart win beating Adorada at her penultimate, and while held by the likes of Qing on her earlier form, is worth including – as, like her sister, she is bound to improve plenty.

Stablemate Sublime Lady came good to notch her second win at her last start, beating the promising Goodtime Gal in receipt of 2kgs. She is widely drawn here.

Third of the Bass trio is Waity Katie, who looks to be up against it on current form.

Snaith Trio Justin Snaith is another with three runners – the best of which look to be the Dynasty filly Qing – a winner of four races.

She runs fresh off a win on Met day and enjoys the services of Anthony Delpech from a good draw. She is a massive runner – if fit. Stablemate Nordic Wind is fit and consistent and a place prospect - but looks held by Captain’s Flame.

Petala is not at her best and has lost form. Paddy Kruyer’s smart Biarritz filly Anglet is very decent and runs fresh after a very fair fourth behind Silver Mountain in

the Cape Fillies Guineas. She ran a great race from the widest of the draw there and if not needing this too much after a 20 week break, she must be a serious runner over her preferred course and distance.

We note Raymond Danielson is back to ride her.

Bad Draw Glen Kotzen’s smart Trippi Jane S Piddy ran a cracker at her last start under topweight to beat some seasoned male handicappers and her form is very consistent. She has drawn widest of all, which really won’t help her cause – Grant Behr rides again.

Andre Nel’s Captain’s Flame has drawn wide at her first try beyond the sprints.

The daughter of Captain Al won two from 3 and then ran a cracker behind the high quality Princess Royal last time.

Goodtime Gal gets a 1 draw and the services of Richard Fourie.

The daughter of Royal Air Force comes into reckoning on her best form and is another to have performed notably behind Princess Royal and has excellent course and distance credits to her name.

Qing and Anglet together with Goodtime Gal and Inanna re the choices to fight this out.

If it rains, the picture broadens.

Bass’ Sweetest Ever!

The R600 000 Winter Series for three-yearold fillies kicks off on Saturday at Kenilworth with the opening leg – named in honour of a filly considered by master trainer Mike Bass to be one of the best he has ever seen or trained.

A daughter of champion sprinter Flower Power, Sweet Chestnut won two Gr1 races, scoring in the Cape Fillies Guineas and the Cape Flying Championship; and added lesser Grade successes to her resume with wins in the Sceptre Stakes and Southern Cross Stakes.

No horse has yet won all three legs of the fillies Winter Series, but some top class sorts like Covenant (2011) and Blueridge Mountain (2013) have won the Sweet Chestnut Stakes before departing for the SA Champions Season

EAST CAPE OAKS (Listed) at Fairview on Friday

up in KZN. The series requires horses to be tough and versatile as the legs have four to five week gaps between each other and each consecutive one has an accompanying increase in distance.

This season the fillies series carries a R150 000 bonus. The respective bonuses will be paid to the owners of any horse which is able to win all three legs.

The fillies Winter Series comprises: Leg 1: The Sweet Chestnut Stakes (Listed) R150 000, 1400m - Saturday 23 April Leg 2: The Stormsvlei Mile (Listed) R150 000, 1600m - Saturday 21 May Leg 3: The Winter Oaks (Listed) R150 000 , 2200m - Saturday 25 June

T

The Mike Bass Milnerton team have enjoyed a good run of late and they look for another ‘away’ success – this time at Fairview on Friday. The progressive Drakenstein Stud-bred Arabian Winter looks to have a serious chance of outperforming her official rating when she runs in the R150 000 Listed East Cape Oaks. he beautifully bred daughter of Western Winter accounted for her talented stablemate Nightingale when winning her maiden – that one having gone on to three straight wins and also a Vodacom Durban July nomination, since.

Good Win

Arabian Winter won her first start in the Eastern Cape on April Fool’s Day when she ran on powerfully to hold off the attentions of the Snaith-trained Entrechat in the non blacktype Oaks Plate.

Only a half length separated the two at the line and Entrechat finds herself 2kgs better off – over 200m further on Friday.

The daughter of Captain Al is very versatile and has won twice – over 1200m and 2000m.

That must give her a serious chance of turning the tables on the Bass runner.

Her stablemate Steel Magnolia won her maiden Fairview on April Fool’s Day at the sixth attempt and looks to have plenty to do off her 65 rating mark.

She is a really well bred galloper and may enjoy the test at her first try beyond the mile.

Cape Invasion

Another three Cape trainers make the trip.

Andre Nel travels from the Plattner West Coast base with Solana,a twice winning daughter of Querari.

Solana beat Saturday maiden winner Playboy Buddy to clinch her maiden and the downed Arabian Winter – giving her weight!

She was not striding out last time when unplaced in an MR 80 Handicap behind Sublime Lady.

A.P INDY - PICO TENERIFFE (RED RANSOM)

Joey Ramsden’s Silvano filly Jetano was beaten at level weights by Entrechat their last clash and technically looks held on that.

But jetano is slightly less exposed than the Snaith hope and certainly looks capable of improving and challenging for some black type if things fall into place.

Glen Kotzen is very effective on his Garden Route raiding road trips and he saddles the Elusive Fort filly Deep Impact, who comes in here of an eight week break.

She is another to boast the scalp of Arabian Winter but will need to up her game a few notches.

Greeff Duo

Alan Greeff saddles a duo, headed by the very decent Ideal World filly Love Everlasting, who was beaten 5,25 lengths by Arabian Winter last time. She is 2kgs better off and with the value added services of the recently returned to action Andrew Fortune, she can be included in quartets.

Her stablemate Sanctuary has very little to recommend her and her only win came about on the polytrack. Her form is really not good enough at this stage.

Corne Spies’ Silvan Jazz is the fittest filly in the race – she has had three runs in April and ran on Monday when unplaced on the poly behind Lucky Gambler.

She ran on steadily for a 3,75 length third behind Arabian Winter in the Oaks Plate and is versatile and hardy enough to run into the quartet money.

That said, the race looks a straight shootout between the Cape raiders – our preference is for Arabian Winter to beat Entrechat – an upset looks highly unlikely.

It Is Written can follow up on his last smart win

THE SCARLET LADY (Listed) at Scottsville on Sunday

T

A full field of fifteen fillies and mares has been declared for The Scarlet Lady, run over a stiff mile on the inner track at Scottsville. This is one of those weird races, both in terms of weights and post-race ratings adjustments.

Our captains at the NHA, who should know better, have agreed that the winner’s post-race merit rating cannot be increased by more than 6 points, and that the placed horses cannot get any increase at all (nor presumably can the unplaced runners). It defies all belief of ethic and fairness for future handicap race contestants.

he conditions of the race are MR-related, but it is not quite a handicap. It may pay formstudents to compare current MRratings with the weights, and see what gives.

We look at the contestants in order of our Timeform and Racing Post compatible AR ratings – the task is to determine whether they can reproduce their rating in this race.

Let’s see.

Gallica Rose makes her seasonal KZNdebut. The 5yo mare raced four times during the Cape season, for one fourth place, and seems best suited to distances of 2000m and more. She was unplaced in this race last year, but beaten less than 3 lengths by the winner.

Her ratings are mostly consistent, so if fit and well she should again be thereabouts.

Ma Choix last raced in the Cape in January, when finishing 8th, beaten six lengths in the Gr1 Paddock Stakes won by Smart Call.

Gallica Rose was three lengths behind her on that occasion, in 12th place. That effort earned Ma Choix a career-best rating, though, and a repeat would give her a great chance here. Against her is that she’s drawn very wide.

The 3yo Trini’s Collateral jumps in at the deep end. She tries this distance for the first time, but has won over a mile, earning a career-best rating. She should give a good account of herself if she gets the trip in a true run race.

Deputy Ryder will be out to continue the headlining for her sire Go Deputy. She tried her luck during the Cape season in the Paddock Stakes and Majorca Stakes. Her best effort was in the latter race, over a mile, beaten just under five lengths. A repeat of that run gives her a great chance here. Her stable companion Zante has been tried over a lot more ground than today’s stiff mile. The daughter of Ideal World won on her return to KZN earlier this month, over a mile at this course. In terms of AR ratings she’ll have to do quite a bit better than that, which is entirely possible given her efforts during the winter season last year, as a 3yo. Khumalo gets the ride.

Another daughter of Go Deputy, Kileigh, raced over this course and distance earlier in April, making the pace and finishing third, beaten five lengths by Fantasy Lady. That was a good effort, as she was giving 11kg to the winner. Fantasy Lady is again in the line-up, but this time the weight difference is 4.5kg.

The 3yo Fantasy Lady is lightly raced and might well be better than rated, but it seems probable that Kileigh will turn the tables. Both look to have a tough task.

Kileigh’s stable companion Work Ethic is

by Ideal World out of a Fort Wood mare, and has shown marked improvement in ratings as a 3yo this season. Her last run was a good win over 2000m on poly at Greyville, earning her a career-best AR rating (and a 7-point merit rating increase). With some further improvement she must have an excellent chance here.

Gauteng visitor Fortitude is distance suited, but her last two efforts (both in feature races) were well below her best form.

Queen’s Advance finished five lengths behind Zante last time out, and meets the winner on similar weight terms here. In addition she has a wide draw and a habit to be slow away.

Crackpot has two wins from her last four starts. The daughter of Judpot has shown improved ratings since coming from PE, but just how good she is or isn’t – who knows.

With some improvement on the rating from her last winning effort in March she’d certainly have a chance here.

The 3yo Alado filly Adorada has shown improved AR ratings at her most recent starts, winning twice. Her last run was her best, despite being hampered and only finishing fourth. Some improvement on that and she’ll be in the firing line here. Against her is a wide draw, and a tardy starting habit.

Lightly raced Velvet Wind ran a close second to Fantasy Lady last time out. She’s a kilo and a half better off for a beating of half a lerngth.

Like her conqueror, Velvet Wind will have to improve quite a bit more to have a chance.

Gauteng viitor Sisters Of Mercy won her most recent start over a mile at the Vaal, running close to her best AR rating. She looks to have a stiff task at the weights in this company, though. The same goes for Mark My Card, who was beaten five lengths by Zante last time out, and now is 3kg better off. Zante won there with a rating some way below what she’s capable of.

In summary, a highly competitive race, with several contenders still relatively unexposed in terms of their real worth. In the latter group is Work Ethic, our first choice. Not a confident one, with all of stable companions Deputy Ryder and Zante, and likely improvers My Choix and Trini’s Collateral on the shortlist.

THE SLEDGEHAMMER (Listed) at Scottsville on Sunday

D

Stable form and race fitness could be key to the outcome of Sunday’s R150 000 Listed The Sledgehammer where eleven runners line up on the Scottsville inside track 1750m. The race looks a prep outing for many of them – so an eye on the betting may also be of some assistance.

ean Kannemeyer is unstoppable at the moment in KZN and he saddles a coupling that includes recent Scottsville winner It Is Written and the classy Vodacom Durban July nominee, Balance Sheet.

While we have a slight preference for It Is Written, who looks the race readier of the two, it is of some interest that Anthony Delpech will ride Balance Sheet.

The Gr3 Christmas Handicap winner It Is Written is a really decent sort on his day came home impressively to win a cracker beating Chestnut’s Rocket over 1400m last time.

The extra 350m will suit him and from a good draw and with Stuart Randolph up (he won the Christmas Handicap on him), must have a serious shout.

2015 Gold Cup runner-up Balance Sheet is having his second run after a rest and was beaten 4 lengths by It Is Written on his return after an eight month break.

He will enjoy this extra but will need to be watched for fitness.

Snaith Coupling

Justin Snaith has not quite had the start he may have hoped for in the 2016 SA Champions Season but could right that situation in under two minutes on Sunday.

He was close up in both the Gr2 Premier Trophy and the Gr2 Peninsula Handicap behind recently exported Light The Lights.

The Cape Winter Derby runner-up is the highest rated runner in the race and will be in the mix – if his 15 week break from action doesn’t catch him out.

His stablemate Ultimate Dollar won the Consolation July last term but had no joy in an abortive Joburg trip. He has not run since running downfield in the Summer Cup. Anton Marcus knows Charles Laird’s Stormy Eclipse very well. The 4yo is a very consistent son of Dynasty and chased It Is Written home in the Christmas Handicap.

He meets It Is Written on a half kilo better terms – and there should be little between them.

Former Stan Elley charge Big Cat was unplaced in this race last year and was slow and ran handily before failing to kick behind Solid Speed last time.

He enjoys to run at them late off a decent pace and could be in the reckoning for quartet money.

Follow The Light

Garth Puller-trained Way Of Light is a game and fairly consistent five-time winner from fifteen starts – he has tended to be focussed on the poly where he has enjoyed most of his success.

He finished stone last in the Listed Easter Handicap and drops 200m. He will need to dig up something extra to be a factor in this company.

The 7yo Marchant sprung to life at his last start with a really impressive win in an MR 90 Handicap over a mile at Greyville.

That was his first win since August 2015 and this will prove a much tougher test for the son of Dynasty.

Former Stan Elley charge Dynastic Power has his second run for the Vaughan Marshall yard after a long layoff following an unplaced effort in the Vodacom Durban July.

His last run was 9 weeks ago and while he is a classy galloper, the Greyville 1900 winner may be best after a few more runs.

Stayer

Mike Bass’ staying prospect Three Balloons has his second run in KZN and will need further to show his true ability.

He looks likely to be prepped towards the Gold Cup and cannot be fancied against the more pacier sorts rated above him.

Gavin Van Zyl’s Silvano gelding Night Shadow looks to have a tough ask here and has largely earned his rating of 86 on the polytrack.

He reverts to the turf – a surface on which he is yet to register a win.

We are siding with It Is Written to beat Stormy Eclipse and Master’s Eye – but don’t ignore Balance Sheet and Big Cat for the minor placings.

L Jaffee Gr1 EMPRESS CLUB STAKES at Turffontein last Saturday

Grant van Niekerk guides Inara to a smooth win over Sensible Lover (Weichong Marwing)

Bass’ Galloping Goldmine

Star Trippi filly Inara came out firing on all cylinders and notched an outstanding fourth career Gr1 victory with a workmanlike win in Saturday’s slow-run R1 million Laurie Jaffee Empress Club Stakes.

A

warm order in the betting and a popular exotic bet banker, Inara confirmed the paper sums that suggested she would be hard to beat – even if Weiho Marwing’s frustratingly consistent Sensible Lover (off a modest 91) gave her plenty to think about in the final stages – without actually threatening to cause an upset.

The talented Inara’s win in the race named after one of our great race fillies, was full of merit after her 12 week break – and demonstrated

the astute brain of trainer Mike Bass with the well-thought plan to raid Joburg from the more advantageous platform of Summerveld.

The plan came together!

Trophy Wife dashed her chances with a slow jump and with Vino Veritas carting them along early at a dawdle, Grant Van Niekerk had Inara relaxed two lengths off in third.

Turning for home, Bernard Fayd’herbe (as he loves to do at Kenilworth) went for broke on Winter Star down the outside rail with Olma following.

The leaders faded quickly as Van Niekerk produced Inara down the

middle outside with a powerful run.

Showing the benefits of running fresh, Inara galloped powerfully and started hanging in towards the right-handed crop as Sensible Lover started unwinding.

The two came close together in the final 100m with Sensible Lover appearing to hesitate momentarily.

But the cheque was in the bank, with Inara giving Van Niekerk his fourth Gr1 aboard her – after providing him with his personal first in the 2015 Paddock Stakes.

She started at 11-10 and beat Sensible Lover by a length in a time of 100,32 secs The only 3yo in the nine horse field, Intergalactic, ran a cracker and finished best of the Tarry trio a further 0,40 lengths back in third, with Sycamore winning stablemate Tiger’s Touch in fourth.

The 7-2 shot Trophy Wife fluffed her start and was always out of her ground, eventually rattling through

for a two length fifth. In hindsight, S’manga Khumalo may have been better off chasing her up early off the slow pace.

KZN challenger Olma showed again that she is a bad traveller and ran second last and 6,25 lengths back. She is much better at Greyville.

Inara has now won 7 races with 7 places from her 17 starts for stakes of R3 278 125.

Bred by Drakenstein Stud, who also race the daughter of Trippi, Inara is out of the Shirley Heights mare Mountains Of Mist, who is no youngster An issue of difficult foaling may have contributed to Drakenstein acquiring her.

In 2004, Drakenstein privately purchased the then Irish-based 12-year-old, and some time later well-known breeder Chryss O’Reilly told new owner Gaynor Rupert that she had owned the mare and had struggled to get her in foal.

Mountains Of Mist remained in Ireland but after having failed to conceive to Coolmore stallion Montjeu two years running, she was sent to South Africa in the hope that some sun on her back would bring her back into production.

Tracing to the outstanding taproot mare Ole Liz, she is out of Seattle Slew mare Magic Of Life, who captured the Gr1 Coronation Stakes and produced Gr2 Lowther Stakes victress Enthused (Seeking The Gold) and French stakes winner From Beyond (Kris).

Named for the Goddess of wild creatures, Inara has strong claims to being the best of her dam’s progeny, but more importantly, she is compelling evidence that ‘older can indeed be better’- a debate for another day!

Inara is a Vodacom Durban July nominee and should prove a major player in the SA Champions Season features from next month.

Aldo’s Got De Kock Spooks ‘Em Sheriff Blows Them Away The Oomph!

SPOOK EXPRESS HANDICAP (Listed) at Turffontein last Saturday

EAST CAPE NURSERY (Listed) at Fairview last Friday

Alan Greeff has another exciting 2yo on his hands and the very aptly named Tiger Ridge colt Oomph buried his opposition in a matter of strides with an impressive turn of foot to win the R150 000 Listed East Cape Nursery.

ALDO Domeyer and trainer Alan Greef enjoyed a good Friday at the office with their Gimmethegreenlight debutante Beataboutthebush winning the opener. But nothing was more impressive than Oomph, who looks to be going places.

While there were only five winners in the field of ten, the manner of Oomph’s acceleration was breathtaking and Domeyer had him pacing it five lengths off pacemaker Refrain, and alongside market rival, Cape raider Soweto Moon. At the 350m Oomph was given the nod and he drew off to win unchallenged by 5,25 lengths in a time of 70,49 secs.

The Snaith’s debut winner

and 18-10 second favourite Soweto Moon shortened his stride at the 400m and fell away to finish tailed off.

The winner, another potential top horse in the making purchased by the Scribante family, is a R260 000 National Yearling Sale graduate. Unbeaten in two starts, Oomph took his earnings to R132 500 and was also the beneficiary of the rather attractive incentive of a BSA Added Value Stakes Bonus of R77 500.

Bred by Wilgerbosdrift and Mauritzfontein, Oomph is from the last crop of the ill-fated Storm Cat stallion Tiger Ridge and is out of the Not For Sale mare, Quintessential.

The dreaded Cape Crawl appears to have spread North to Gauteng with an outbreak observed at Turffontein on Saturday. Whether it was the presence of a few jockeys from the Mother City or the small fields in the two features, things went awry with an upset result in the Listed Spook Express Handicap.

ONLY seven runners lined up in the Spook Express and with nothing prepared to play the Pied Piperess it was left to S’manga Khumalo and Eva Tibbs to lead. The Casey Tibbs mare was pulling hard against the steel and took her six followers into the straight at a yawn.

As in the Empress Club, the race turned into a sprint in the run for home with The Centenary and the smart 3yo Zafira going head to head into the final 350m.

While Zafira appeared to shade the De Kock runner for a stride, the recently returned-from-injury Randall Simons was having none of it and changed whip hands before getting stuck into the NZ bred galloper.

Starting at 8-1, The Centenary stayed on well to beat Zafira by a neck in a time of 159,49 secs with the favourite Marmalady staying on for third.

It was Randall Simons’ first ride in over two months.

This was quite a training feat as The Centenary was having only her second outing since running unplaced behind Master Sabina in the 2015 Sansui Summer Cup. The Centenary, a New Zealand Bloodstock 2013 Select Yearling Sale NZ$ 40 000 purchase, has now won 6 races with 3 places from 18 starts. She has earned R555 125 in stakes.

The Centenary is a daughter of Danehill Dancer stallion Mastercraftsman out of the Montjeu mare, Diamantaire, a lightly raced, placed half-sister to Philidor. The Irish-bred Mastercraftsman was champion 2yo colt in Europe & Ireland in 2008 with 7 wins from 1200m to beyond 2000m.

EAST CAPE POLYTRACK CHALLENGE at Fairview last Monday PE trainer Jacques Strydom told anybody that would listen that Gogetthesheriff was a good thing for Monday’s R100 000 East Cape Poly Challenge 1400 at Fairview.

AND his son of Go Deputy backed the boss’ bullish attitude with a resounding victory from a wide draw under topweight to set up a possible big payday in the third leg of WSB East Cape Poly Challenge.

It didn’t take rocket science or a degree in handicapping to work out that Gogetthesheriff was particularly well weighted in the second leg of the R600 000 Eastern Cape Poly Challenge and he wrapped up the task in sensational style to set up a date for the big cheque – on Friday 13 May of all lucky days! Gogetthesheriff, who started a generous 18-10, won despite his wide draw, a relatively inexperienced first-time young rider in the irons and the ardent support for talented Cape visitor Silver Snaffles, who was backed to 7-2 to beat the local star. Tellytrack’s on-course presenter Grant Knowles, a well travelled vocal supporter of the Brett Crawford yard, suggested to home girl Nadine Rapson that he couldn’t see Jacques Strydom’s galloper having it easy from his wide draw against Silver Snaffles, who enjoyed the pole position draw and received 7kgs.

But Knowles was made to eat his words as Silver Snaffles was beaten out of the money, with nothing much to offer as Gogetthesheriff swept through from last down the inside rail and cut them all down to win going away by a length in a time of 80,51 secs. A lovely exhibition of a confident and cool ride by the talented Ryan Munger, who obviously knew what he had under him. Gogetthesheriff is versatility personified and is the current PE Poly Horse Of The Year. He has no apparent distance limitations and enjoys both surfaces. The 5yo gelding’s owner Freddie Van Onselen is in line to bank the bonus of R250 000 for winning all three legs of the Triple Crown. At worst, he has R50 000 to come for the consolation for best performer.

Gogetthesheriff has now won 10 races (he lost one on a positive) from 27 starts with 9 places and took his stakes balance to R636 800.

The winner was bred by Lammerskraal and is by season sensation Go Deputy, sire of Triple Crown pretender Abashiri. Gogetthesheriff is out of the seven-time winning Centenary mare, Trojan Belle.

A visit to Moutonshoek is like a transatlantic journey.

On speed. But with good food, good wine and more importantly, good company. What it doesn’t come with, unfortunately is a good road, but as the ever charming Jacqui van der Merwe says cheerfully, the municipality are looking into it and have promised to resurface the road. In 2018.

irst impressions at arriving at Moutonshoek are something akin to a shipwrecked sailor finally encountering dry land.

Second impressions are that you have arrived in God’s country. Perhaps it’s the Jurassic looking sandstone outcrops reminiscent of Utah’s Monument Valley, or perhaps it’s that when he receives an incoming call, Bennie van der Merwe’s cell phone rings out The Good, The Bad and The Ugly theme tune.

Either way, it’s the sort of place you want to hitch your horse and stay for a while and if locally produced gin, a good red wine and intelligent conversation are your thing, then Bennie van der Merwe is your man.

“The perfect business model for a stud farm is 30 mares,” opines Bennie. Few would disagree, so why two resident stallions? His green eyes sparkle with mischief. “There are 3 things that make a successful stallion: a superior female line, a superior male line and superior track performance.

And even then only 1 out of every 20 stallions makes it. A successful stud stallion is like the Holy Grail. The problem with having horses is that you make friends and once you’ve made friends, you build stables, you end up with shares in stallions and you accumulate mares.

We had 30 and that was fine and then things grew to over 50 and, well, you’ve seen the road,” he shrugs.

“We figured we’d better get our own.”

Big horses And so the hunt was on.

Interestingly, ‘Team Moutonshoek’ had their eye on Marchfield as an early 2 year old. Why Marchfield?

A.P. Indy, who is the emperor of North American stallions – it’s no accident that 4 out of the top 5 US sires are A.P. Indy line horses.

“Marchfield is by A.P. Indy, who is the emperor of North American stallions – it’s no accident that 4 out of the top 5 US sires are A.P. Indy line horses. Secondly, he’s a two turn horse that’s performed on turf and poly, so he’s ideally suited to the South African market. We used to get our matings done by Charles Faull. We still go back to the fountain from time to make sure we are on the right track – he does the same by hand. Eventually we sat him down and built a computer

programme based on his selection criteria. Now we just punch in the pedigrees, but no matter what programme you use, Marchfield is a great mating. Charlie Faull found Marchfield, actually. He was a homebred that belonged to Canadian businessman Eugene Melnyk who owned the likes of Speightstown and Flower Alley. Marchfield finished 2nd in the Coronation Futurity over 1700m in his second start at two.

We made various offers at roughly six month intervals throughout his career, but they were having too much fun – he was one of the favourites for the Breeders’ Cup Turf in 2009 when he got injured. On 30 September 2009 the Blood Horse’s second headline of the day was “Marchfield Injured – Racing Career In Doubt”.

We went back to Melnyk and agreed a deal, but they wanted 6 months to see whether they could get him sound enough to race again. When the six months were up, he said his wife liked the horse’s pedigree and he wasn’t prepared to part with him.”

Mambo instead “Not too long afterwards, bloodstock agent Alistair Roden happened to be at Lane’s Ends when Will Farish received a phone call from Larry Bramlage to say Mambo In Seattle had been injured in training. Alistair rang bloodstock agent Hugo Merry, Hugo rang Jehan Malherbe, who in turn rang Chris Gerber and in about an hour we’d made a cheeky offer. They came back and said if we upped the offer by about $100k we could have him.”

“I was on holiday in the bush at the time, but happened to have my passport with me.

I sorted out the wife and kids and flew to Kentucky. I was still wondering how I was going to find my lift, when

Alistair, one of the Lane’s End staff walked up to me and said ‘You must be Bennie’.

Apparently I look like a South African!”

“Before I went to see Mambo, I asked to have a look around the main barn to get my eye in. I got to look at Kingmambo, Lemon Drop Kid, Mineshaft and A.P. Indy himself. Then they took me to the quarantine facility where Mambo was being housed.

He’d run his best fractions two weeks before and was absolutely magnificent. On my way out when one of the Lane’s End bloodstock guys ran to the car, frantically trying to flag me down. ‘Do you like him? Because there are 7 guys up at the office waiting to have a Dutch auction for him if you don’t.’

I went up to the office with him, put my head around the door and said ‘Sorry boys, he’s coming to South Africa!’

So we’d been after Marchfield and got Mambo instead and we’ve all seen how he’s turned out (6 winners this week including 2 Gr3’s!)”

Back to Marchfield “That was in about 2010.

Marchfield retired to Park Stud in Orangeville, Canada in 2011 with 7 wins and 8 places to his credit, including the third leg of the Canadian Triple Crown, the Breeders’ Stakes, the Gr2 Autumn Stakes, and Sky Classic Stakes, as well

as the Gr3 Dominion Day Handicap an d earnings in excess of $1 million. He was also voted Canadian champion older male in 2008 and 2009. Melnyk originally sent 50 mares to support him, but when the Canadian industry tanked, Melnyk brought his mares back to Florida. He’d divorced the wife who liked Marchfield’s pedigree and he had no ties to the horse anymore, so he got hold of his agent to ask whether ‘those South African guys were still around’. The agent said yes, but probably not for the original asking price.”

Only 1 out of every 20 stallions makes it.

A successful stud stallion is like the Holy Grail.

“At that stage he hadn’t sold a weanling yet. I went over to have a look and decided I wanted to inspect him from every angle – close up, turned out, look at his yearlings etc.

It was 22 March, the first official day of spring and I had visions of lying in a Canadian field inspecting yearlings.

“Instead I got a foot of snow! I liked what I’d seen of his progeny – they were strong and correct, with good bone, but it’s still a nerve-wracking decision. Not everyone likes blondes! But we bought him and he arrived here in July 2013.”

Canadian legacy “When his first yearlings went on sale in Canada and fetched the second and 3rd highest price on auction. Then a filly sold for $470k in

the USA. I was hoping she was out of a mongoose, but she was well bred and had paddock value” he says with genuine disappointment.

“Then his 2yo’s started running and we were watching the stats like a hawk, but there was nothing – which was to be expected as he wasn’t an early horse and doesn’t have the pedigree for producing early speed. Then with about 6 weeks left of the season, suddenly the started firing. A son ran a place in the Coronation Futurity (the same race Marchfield placed in as a 2yo) and it looked as though Marchfield was going to be champion first season sire.

“Then the week before the season closed, he had a filly running in a maiden race that had to be scratched and Marchfield lost out on the first season sire title by less than $2,000 to a horse called Not Bourbon, who had been a precocious 2yo himself. Of course, the filly won first time out as a 3yo.” He shakes his head at the vagaries of fate.

“But the following year he won champion 2nd season sire,” he says with satisfaction.

Marchfield has settled in well at Moutonshoek, but there was a slight snag. “We thought Marchfield was a total no brainer and assumed all the Mambo shareholders would automatically want to buy in, but it turned out not quite the case, so we have a slightly different set of shareholders in Marchfield and we went out and bought some mares to support him, so now we’ve got about 120 mares,” he laughs ruefully.

Local reception “The support has been good and even more so since his first foals arrived. Like the

ones I saw in Canada, they are very correct, with good bone, but what we’re so pleased about is that they’re on the leg. The breeding community seem to like the foals and when they see how good his matings look on paper, they can’t believe it. I had a call at 7 o’clock one evening from someone who had been on a stud farm inspection and picked out a couple of yearlings in the paddock.

When they heard they were Marchfields, they rang me up and booked covers for the next morning!”

The breeding community seem to like the foals and when they see how good his matings look on paper, they can’t believe it.

“We took a few to the CTS Premier Sale and a few to Val de Vie. They’re not early horses,” he emphasises, “so we took a bit of a bath, but we felt it was important for people to see what the Marchfields look like and are quietly excited by who bought them. Dennis Drier, Glen Puller bought one for R250k, Mike Bass bought 2 for Marsh Shirtliff. Brian Burnard got one for R100k and came to me afterwards to ask why the horse didn’t go for more and I explained that that was what the market dictated. We are in the business of selling horses, not chasing up bids.”

It’s an awfully long drive to Moutonshoek and an awfully long wait till 2018.

As Bennie says, not everyone likes blondes, but for those that do, Marchfield will be well represented at the 2016 National Yearling Sale.

‘No Panic’ Say Experts ‘Our scientific case is considerably stronger’- Mick Goss

P

Members of South Africa’s Horse Import Export Task Team (HIETT) have requested the racing industry and the public at large not to over-react to the death of a horse diagnosed with African Horse Sickness (AHS) in the surveillance zone near Paarl, Western Cape, recently.

rofessor Ian Sanne, a member of the Industry Task Team charged with consolidating the efforts of the equine and racing industries and veterinarians as well as funding mechanisms ahead of an application to reinstate direct exports from South Africa to the European Union (EU), said on Thursday that South Africa now had the ability to contain an outbreak of AHS as it occurred, in a most effective manner.

Sanne commented: “We have the means to respond rapidly, we have strengthened into systems available to react to outbreaks of AHS. This, together with the benefit and recognition of PCR tests for AHS and a locked-door, vectorprotected quarantine facility, enables us to mitigate the export of the disease from South Africa. We remain fully confident that we will be able to develop a trade relationship with partners for international exports.”

Dr Beverley Parker, a member of the technical task team, confirmed that the HIETT’s contingency kicked in perfectly when the AHS death occurred at a Paarl farm last Friday.

She said: “Our huge awareness campaigns have paid off.

Everyone reacted quickly and co-operation on the whole was very good. We’ve had local horse owners playing policemen, people commenting and helping via Facebook.”

Parker said that a team of State Veterinarians and Animal Health Techs were working around the clock with others from the Equine Health fund to help with sampling and testing and that 150 samples had already been collected.

“We’re doing a census of all farms inside the area and 20 farms have been completed. We’re working from an initial radius outwards, in an ever-widening circle. The vets have been checking for clinical signs of the disease and have not found any so far. There is a complete standstill on movement around the indexed farm and movement within the zone has been curtailed.”

Breeder Mick Goss of Summerhill Stud, who delivered a wellreceived address at the Asian Racing Conference earlier this year, said: “It’s my view that after India and the interactions I’ve had with those in sympathy with us, it’s not the end of the world by any means!”

Goss added: “Our scientific case is considerably stronger, if not at this point technically unassailable. Parallels with other countries and how they deal with these things tell me that the occasional occurrence such as the one we’ve just experienced is merely an interruption in our work, it is not the work itself.

“There’s little reason then why we shouldn’t be able to resume normal trade. That’s how all our trading partners treat these things, and from the conversations I had with those I thought were most influential at the Asian Conference, I’d like to think that there is an understanding of that.”

Former Champion trainer Mike de Kock, another member of the Task Team, agreed that massive progress had been made in the last few years and spoke against what he termed “media articles seeking sensation”.

In reference to a front-page article published in last weekend’s Cape Argus, he said: “Our protocol is working and it is completely inappropriate for editors to sensationalise a hugely important matter like this. It is unfair to the people who have gone to great lengths to make things work, the industry has tried hard and we’ve seen tangible results. It doesn’t help when newspapers put fear into our trading partners.”

Export restrictions have impeded South Africa’s participation in international equestrian sporting events such as the World Equestrian Games and the Dubai World Cup, amounting to an estimated R1 billion loss on the export market alone on an annual basis.

SPORTING POST • FriDAY 22nd - SunDAY 24th April 2016

65 nominations received at the initial entry stage

Durban July

Now Richest Gr1 In SA

F

Africa’s Greatest Horseracing Event, the Vodacom Durban July, traditionally run at Greyville on the first Saturday in July, is now worth R4,25 million, an increase of R750 000 over last year.

urther to the announcement of the increased stake, Gold Circle also confirmed that Vodacom has extended its sponsorship of the Vodacom Durban July for an additional three years.

First entries closed on Wednesday, 13 April 2016, and the 65 nominations were unveiled at the launch of South Africa’s Champion Season 2016 held at Greyville Racecourse.

At the top of the list was the country’s highest rated horse, Legal Eagle.

Sean Tarry’s champion won the Gr1 SA Derby last season and has already won two of the three legs of the unofficial WFA “mile” championship in the Gr1 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate and the Gr1 HF Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut Stakes. He is current favourite for the Gr1 Premier’s Champion Challenge to be run at Turffontein on Derby Day at the end of this month.

Tarry, well on track for his second National Trainer’s Championship, has nominated nine other runners. French Navy, arguably unlucky last year, is likely to be back for another crack and is the third highest rated runner on the list. Victory would also make it a treble for Tarry and owner Chris van Niekerk, the pair having won successive Julys with Pomodoro and Heavy Metal in 2012 and 2013 respectively.

Also nominated is the country leading three-year-old Abashiri who on Derby Day will be attempting to round off his bid for the Triple Crown with victory in the Gr1 SA Derby. Michael Azzie’s smart colt has already garnered the first two legs, the Gr2 Gauteng Guineas and Gr1 SA Classic for owners Adriaan and Rika van Vuuren.

Mike Bass, already a three-time winner of the Vodacom Durban July, will be pinning his hopes on Paterfamilias and his trio of smart fillies Inara, Silver Mountain and Nightingale.

Fascinating this year will be the battle of the three-year-old colts leading up to the July. Abashiri aside, Johan Janse van Vuuren has three smart entries in Unparalleled, Brazuca and New Predator but there are a host of colts that for one reason or another have not been fully exposed.

Some in this category include the Duncan Howells pair of Ten Gun Salute, already a Gr3 winner in Open company, and Sylvester The Cat. Howells has also nominated the classy Saratoga Dancer.

Justin Snaith has entered Investec Cape Derby winner It’s My Turn and Baritone, narrowly beaten by one of Dean Kannemeyer’s entries Mambo Mime at Greyville last Friday.

Another Snaith entry is Dynamic, a controversial second behind another Kannemeyer July entry Cape Speed at Scottsville last Sunday.

Surprisingly the powerful Mike de Kock yard only has three nominations, Jubilee Line, Persian Rug and the Australian-bred Kinaan.

Bass Receives Gr1 Honour Cape trainer Mike Bass has been a staunch supporter of racing in KwaZulu-Natal and in honour of his service to racing in the province Gold Circle has renamed the Champions Cup in his honour.

Run on Super Saturday, the Champions Cup will know be known as the Gr1 Mike and Carol Bass Champions Cup. Gold Circle Marketing Executive Graeme Hawkins said that Bass had been a stalwart supporter of racing

in KawZulu-Natal from many years.

“Mike has had a difficult time with his health over the past year but has been a staunch supporter of KwaZulu-Natal racing for over 40 years. We wish him well in

his retirement and it is fitting that he has a race named in his honour along with his wife Carol.”

After a bout of ill health veteran trainer Mike Bass announced his retirement at the end of the 2015/16

season and will be handing over the reins of his Milnerton stable to daughter Candice Robinson.

The Gr1 Champions Cup was previously named in honour of champion Dynasty racemare Beach Beauty.

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels. The trouble makers, the round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules and they have no respect for the status quo.

“You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them… because they change things, they push the human race forward. While some may see them as ‘the crazy ones’, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world – are the ones who do.”

Those are the words Steve Jobs used to narrate Apple’s iconic 1997 ad campaign which now adorns Youtube and the far corners of social media as memes, posters and wallpaper. Most, if not all of them, could be used to describe Team Valor CEO, Barry Irwin.

B

arry could safely be categorised as one of racing’s rounder pegs (and I mean that figuratively). He has been described as unconventional, outspoken, antiestablishment and several other things that probably aren’t fit for print.

Having been lucky enough to chat to Barry many times over the years I found that while some of the labels have been fairly earned, there are a few that have been left out. I have always found him to be intelligent and interesting and continuously surprised by how generous he always is with his time and expertise. South Africans, and with a few exceptions, certainly the South African racing fraternity, tend to down play our talents and achievements rather than celebrate them the way they perhaps should be. Barry on the other hand, possesses a particular brand of honesty that may at first glance appear brash or boastful, but once one adjusts your dial to ‘Irwin, it’s usually 100% factual and backed up by (other people’s) stats and opinions. He says what he means and means what he says. It makes for interesting and occasionally surprising conversation.

In his 2011 post Kentucky Derby interview, nBC’s Bob neumeier asked why Barry had moved all his domestic stock to trainer Graham Motion. In characteristic Barry fashion he answered honestly and fully: “Well I was just tired of other trainers lying to me and I wanted a guy that would tell me the truth.”

“Really?” pressed neumeier.

“Yeah,” confirmed Barry again. “How many trainers lied to you?”

“Plenty. Anyway, gotta go.”

When the DRF later quizzed Dale Romans, Barry’s personal friend and long-time trainer, about ‘that’ comment, Romans replied “That’s just Barry being Barry.” If you enjoy ‘Barry being Barry’, then I highly recommend his new book, Derby Innovator: The Making Of Animal Kingdom. With his strong ties to South Africa, a lot of the stories feel like revisiting old friends. Barry’s long history in the business means it is also a wonderful opportunity to make fascinating new ones. He was kind enough to chat to me about his latest endeavour.

Why a book and why now?

Two reasons: first, since starting to winter in Florida I found out that I had enough separation from my office to have the time and peace and quiet to write a book. Secondly, before Animal Kingdom’s stud career colored his racing accomplishments, I wanted people to remember him as a racehorse and I wanted to get his story in the racing public’s mind and heart.

What are you hoping to accomplish?

I know some very interesting and surprising stories. I never read about stories like mine in any racing

books, so I wanted to tell them in hopes of entertaining readers and giving them some insight into the game that they may not have had.

Re your Kentucky Derby comment, why do you think the racing fraternity reacts so badly to the truth?

Racing’s biggest problem worldwide is that it is and always has been an “insiders’ game.” Insiders want to be able to run their games uninterrupted without any sort of scrutiny getting in the way.

This why the “code of silence” is so strong in this fraternity of certain trainers, jockeys, veterinarians and owners.

Why do you feel racing with integrity is so important?

Speaking strictly for my own selfish reasons, I am involved in racing to prove something with my horses and how they are managed/treated. I want to feel as though, when we win a big race, that we have accomplished something. I for one have never understood the satisfaction that one gets by cheating to win. There are two types of people in the minds of most cheaters: the Sharps and the Squares.

Once a Sharp, always a sharp. To them, Squares are there for the taking. And, unfortunately, not enough Squares are sufficiently motivated to rid the game of the Sharps. On a macro level, racing is perceived by the public as a game rife with corruption. If we want the game to survive, we must change that perception and it all starts with changing the culture. Racing must adequately fund means to improve integrity like Hong Kong or prepare to wither away and die in the next generation.

Racing survives on betting turnover. Gamblers will find other ways to have fun if they do not feel they are getting a fair shake. I know that big gamblers in America - we call them whales - began leaving the game in the late 1990s and early 2000s when modern day methods of cheating began to take over the highest level of the sport in America.

As the betting declines and racing contracts, fewer opportunities to prove horses worldwide will precipitate a severe decline in the value of bloodstock, unless we can turn the game around.

How do people cheat?

Cheating is done by managing pain, enhancing breathing capacity, buffering lactic acid and manipulating the metabolism of a horse.

Mostly the methods and

substances used to accomplish these goals are illegal. China has proven to be a key source of illegal substances that can be gotten via the Internet.

Stopping it would be effective if there was a will to do so, but other than Hong Kong, most racing jurisdictions play at it and are not wholly committed to the idea of cleaning up the sport. Where there is a will, there is a way.

It is all about policing and following up with testing.

Investigations find drugs, testing verifies them. Testing in and of itself is not wholly effective, because unless one knows what it is looking for, it cannot test for it.

Do you think racing is still a viable prospect for someone who wants to have fun and race a ‘clean’ horse?

Yes, but the real question is how long it will last. I did learn one very valuable lesson about this issue when I raced Animal Kingdom, which is that if you have a horse that really is better than every other horse, he can win the best races, even beating the cheaters.

There is no drug that can make any horse beat the best horse. But on a daily level, with average horses, the ones that have been given an edge will win more than their fair share and this is what is killing the game in certain locales. What a lot of people do not understand is that the trick in many instances is not speeding up a horse, but doing everything one can to make it tires less quickly than its competition.

What made you so passionate about stamping out drugs in racing?

My first love is Track & Field, or as the world mostly calls them “Athletics.” I saw what cheating with drugs did to marginalize that sport and I wanted to do my utmost to make sure the same thing wouldn’t happen with horse racing.

Usually people are either good at buying horses or at breeding them, yet you have had success with both. I have always had a great interest in both of the disciplines. Based on my own experiences, I think the game is mostly about trial and error, making mistakes and having the ability to correct them. As for luck, if it isn’t on your side, you are screwed! I have benefited greatly by having good luck, but I also have had some of the worst luck ever.

I think if you’ve owned as many horses as I have, this is part of the endeavor.

The Ipi Tombe story is chronicled in your book.

How is she doing?

We sold Ipi Tombe at Tattersalls in foal to Sadler’s Wells after she was finished racing.

Her best foal unfortunately never raced.

This was a Medaglia d’Oro filly that was injured before she could show her talent. She was potentially a monster. The mare is ready to visit Fast Anna, a new young stallion that was extremely speedy.

What makes South Africa attractive to you as a racing / breeding jurisdiction?

I like the way the stock is raised and I like the diversity of the stallions. A young horse has a chance to prove himself in South Africa. South Africa reminds me a lot of California, in that the environment plays just as big a part in the development of an athlete as pedigree. Horses in South Africa continually outrun their pedigrees. One thing I do not like and I cautioned against when I spoke at Mick Goss’ Stallion Day several years ago is the increasing influence of veterinarians both at racing and farm level. Horses’ limbs are not regularly being manipulated and by and large I am against trying to trick Mother Nature.

Commercialism is the enemy of developing good racehorses and the emergence of the new sales company is a worrisome feature of the current landscape.

You bred and then purchased Animal Kingdom.

We knew Animal Kingdom was special before he made

his first start. But not until he reappeared in the early winter of his 3-year-old season, when he had a phenomenal growth spurt at the very end of his season at 2 did we realize what a true monster we had on our hands. He went from being a lean racing prospect to the Incredible Hulk in a matter of a few weeks.

Is it possible to put into words the satisfaction of breeding, owning and producing a (clean) Kentucky Derby winner and stud stallion?

Not really, but one thing that I will say is that it is meaningful to me that Animal Kingdom is the result of a few of my eclectic initiatives with stock that was imported to America. I have always created on a large canvass, I love international racing and bloodstock, and there is no more internationalist than AK.

How is he doing at stud?

Most stallions are popular when they enter stud and experience declines in book size and stud fee until their first foals race. He has been just the opposite. His popularity rests squarely on the obvious quality of his foals. They are impressive.

My team has gathered some exciting broodmares from around the globe and we bred 18 mares to him last year. We have several Grade 1 winners and producers that have visited him in his initial three seasons at stud, both in the U.S. and OZ. We are very, very hopeful.

From One Extreme To The Other In less than a fortnight recently, former SA champion rider S’manga Khumalo was suspended for 14 days for failing to ride his horse out and prejudicing his finishing position.

Then days later he uses his crop in an unnecessary manner which results in wheals on the right hind quarter of his mount. He was fined R2000. Bling is an experienced jockey – should we be playing the system or the man?

Australian Zac Purton, who rode a double at Hong Kong’s Sha Tin meeting over the weekend, publicly denigrated the new Australian whip rules that prohibit a jockey from striking a horse more than five times, or in consecutive strides, in the last 100 metres. “In Australia, I’m doubtful whether either of them would have won under the new rules, I really had to get stuck into both of them and they only just won. At least I’m lucky enough to be riding in Hong Kong where I’m encouraged to ride winners - it doesn’t seem to be that way back at home currently.”

SCREAM Equus Erred That is what we are going to do if we hear another trainer on Tellytrack telling us what great condition a horse arrived in at his yard from the horse’s former stable. And also how the previous trainer sent a list of exactly what to do. Why all the smoke -blowing in a competitive game? Especially when we hear of trainers openly canvassing owners – as they should be allowed to do in a free world.

GREAT VALUE

Rosedene Stud’s promising young stallion Biarritz, whose very first runner was a stakes winner, had an eye catching juvenile winner on Friday afternoon. Grandissimo, a bargain R25 000 buy from last year’s March Yearling Sale, produced a devastating turn of foot to mow down older rivals and score an impressive two and a half length win. Bred by Rosedene Stud, Grandissimo races for Messrs Bortz and Van Huyssteen and he looks a smart sort who should go on and win his share of races.

John Freeman observes in his latest eNews that Drakenstein’s Cape Champion Inara proved on Saturday in the Gr1 Empress Club Stakes how the Equus panel erred in their judgement.

They omitted Trippi’s dual Gr1 winning daughter from the 3yo Filly Awards nominee list giving preference to fillies who had only won one Gr1 race that season - as if to say that back to back victories in the time honoured Gr1 Maine Chance Farm Paddock Stakes and the Gr1 Klawervlei Majorca Stakes is not enough to secure a nomination.

Cand� Fl�� Andrew Fortune made a welcome return from injury with a double on the Fairview polytrack on Monday. The Candyman said that he loved the poly as nine times out of ten there was a pace on and all it required was positioning the horse. Quizzed on his motivation, he quipped: “I have five kids to feed and a year ago they were all still quite chubby.

I have even resorted to buying the noname brands at Pick ‘N Pay!”

SA champion jockey Gavin Lerena maintains the momentum of a glorious globetrotting season when he flies to the UK to ride for the Rest Of The World Team in the Shergar Cup at Ascot.

erena won the Longines International Jockeys’ Championship on an extraordinary night at Happy Valley in December and was invited back to Hong Kong to ride.

He joins a host of top internationally recognised jockeys at his first outing at Royal Ascot.

Melbourne Cup -winning jockey Michelle Payne will also ride at Ascot this summer as part of the Girls team at the Shergar Cup. Payne created history last November when winning the ‘race that stops a nation’ at Flemington on 100-1 shot Prince Of Penzance, as she was the first female rider in the history of the race to triumph. Ascot’s head of international racing Nick Smith secured Payne’s services at the meeting last year, and she will join team captain Emma-Jayne Wilson and Cathy Gannon. Sammy Jo Bell, who excelled when called up to replace the injured Gannon last year, claiming the silver saddle and helping the Girls team win the

Gavin Lerena Cup for the first time, is only first reserve.

Wilson, who will be making her fifth Shergar Cup appearance, said: “I’m looking forward to reminding everyone what a powerful force we are.

The Shergar Cup provides a great opportunity for us girls to prove we are as good as some of the world’s best male jockeys. Bring it on.”

Frankie Dettori will once again captain the European team, with French duo Thierry Jarnet and Pierre-Charles Boudot joining him.

Both will be making their Shergar Cup debuts.

Historic Racing Town Seedy Underbelly Exposed

H

Newmarket has problems with gambling, alcohol and drug abuse according to Chris Humpleby, racing secretary to Roger Varian and winner of the under-26 category in this year’s Martin Wills writing awards.

umpleby, 24, who moved to the town over a year ago to work as racing secretary to Ed Dunlop, titled his article Newmarket: More Than Meets The Eye and was selected by a panel that featured Brough Scott, Marcus Armytage, Chris Cook and Lee Mottershead for his exposé on what has long been considered an issue.

He called for trainers and the town to do more to protect youngsters from “the murky undercurrent of vice that is unmistakable to all of us who live here”.

Elaborating on the town’s problems, Humpleby, whose piece was published in full in Sunday’s Racing Post, wrote: “If the gambling is the thrill, and the drink is the fun, then the cocaine is the fuel, because there are not many toilet cisterns in Newmarket

that have failed to resemble the sleek slopes of Mont Blanc on a Saturday evening. Charlie is not merely the name of the stable cat... You would be forgiven for thinking that nothing exists beyond this microcosm of gambling, booze, drugs and sex.”

Look The Other Way Speaking to the Post, where he spent a two-month internship as part of the BHA graduate scheme in 2014, Humpleby said: “I love Newmarket, but it historically takes a fairly laissezfaire approach to problems and hopes they disappear.

“It’s so easy for young and vulnerable people - I’m talking 16-year-olds - to find themselves in these situations, and that scares me. I feel we need to take more ethical responsibility.

“I am not presumptuous enough to assume 800 words by me will make a change, but if

it sparks a light bulb among the powers that be then that is what I intended to do.”

On the possibility of a negative reaction within the town from those living the lifestyle Humpleby attacked, he added: “It’s not all one big happy family here, there are probably plenty of people who already didn’t like me anyway, but I didn’t set out to offend anyone and I’m very willing to discuss any criticisms anyone may have.”

On winning the £1,000 first prize for the U26 category, Humpleby said: “It’s a very prestigious award with an incredible roll of honour.”

The Sean Tarry-trained Gr1 HF Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut Stakes winner Legal Eagle comes in at 14th on the latest Longines World’s Best Racehorse Rankings.

T

he rankings are for 3yos and upwards which raced between 1 January and 10 April 2016 and memorable performances by CALIFORNIA CHROME (USA) [126] and WINX (AUS) [126] have led them to be tied atop the current log.

California Chrome impressed in the Gr1 Dubai World Cup Sponsored by Emirates Airline when he romped to a 3 ¾- length victory despite his saddle slipping significantly during the race. The 5-yearold Lucky Pulpit horse improved his rating from 121 to 126 with that performance.

California Chrome has won all three of his starts thus far

in 2016. He took the Gr2 San Pasqual Stakes at Santa Anita before going to Dubai, where he easily won the Trans Gulf Electromechanical Trophy at Meydan as a prep for the Dubai World Cup.

Watch Winx

Joining California Chrome at the top of the rankings is Australia’s Winx.

A troubled trip and a hefty weight assignment could not keep her from crossing the wire first in the Gr1 Star Doncaster Mile.

With that victory, Winx pushed her winning streak to nine, including six Group 1 scores, dating back to May 2015. Other major wins to the Street Cry mare’s credit in 2016 include the Gr1

China Horse Club George Ryder Stakes, Gr1 Precise Air Chipping Norton Stakes, and the Gr2 Optus Business Apollo Stakes.

In South Africa, LEGAL EAGLE (SAF) [118] added another Group 1 to his list of accomplishments when he won the Gr1 H F Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut Stakes in April.

Earlier this year, he took the Gr1 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate and finished second behind SMART CALL (SAF) [119] in the Gr1 J&B Met. He is the flagbrearer for top breeders Avontuur who swept the boards at the Emperors Palace Select Yearling Sale on Friday.

Hong Kong jockey turned trained Tony Cruz took public transport once: “Never again. Man, I went into the station to get on the train and I couldn’t get out of there - there were just too many people wanting to speak to me or take photos,” he says of his lone trip on the MTR, writes Michael Cox.

ranted, Cruz’s fame is probably unparalleled in Hong Kong racing, with multiple jockey and trainer championships and a combined win tally approaching 2,000 giving him local hero status, but he isn’t alone in being a celebrity jockey or trainer - particularly with the racing-mad working class.

Expat jockeys and trainers that wander the streets of their home towns in relative anonymity feature on fourstorey billboards downtown in Hong Kong and are stopped for autographs regularly, and can enjoy a saloon passage onto tables at some of the best restaurants in town.

The Audemars Piguet QEII Cup carries a purse of HK$20 million (US$2.58 million).

Back in 1975, the Queen Elizabeth II Cup was established to commemorate a visit to Hong Kong by Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip’s visit to Hong Kong in 1975, and the race continued to be run annually each spring.

It evolved into an international event in 1995, with Hong Kong horses competing against those representing Australia, France, Japan, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.

Big Runners Ertijaal was a strong closing fourth to Real Steel in the Gr1 Dubai Turf (1800m) on World Cup night Highland Reel comes off a solid fourth behind Postponed in the longer Gr1 Dubai Sheema Classic (2410m).

He seeks to follow in the path of the 2001 AP QEII Cup winner Silvano, who ran third in the Sheema Classic before his Hong Kong win.

In all, four horses have won the AP QEII Cup since 2001 when it achieved G1 status, after competing in Dubai. The other was Presvis in 2009.

Assistant trainer Pat Keating, who is supervising the horse’s second Hong Kong campaign, said: “The horse travelled well. He’s a pretty seasoned traveller now and he’s settled in well. Everything’s gone quite smoothly to the point,” Keating said of Highland Reel who won the G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Vase in December after running third to Winx in the G1 Cox Plate (2040m) at Moonee Valley last October.

Highland Reel’s past two runs have been at 2400 metres but the drop back to 2000 metres on Sunday is no issue according to Keating.

“He’s a versatile galloper and the trip’s no problem. He did win the Secretariat (Stakes) at the distance and was good behind what we now know is a very smart filly (Winx) in the Cox Plate. That form has held up,” he said.

Ertijaal Assistant trainer Trevor Brown, looking after Ertijaal, is similarly optimistic about the prospects of the Australian bred four-yearold who represents the UAE, in the colours of Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

“The horse has done well and he’s quite adaptable. He looks to have adjusted well to the surroundings here and is working along as we’d hope. The one thing I’d say we do want is a true pace.

So there are the perks, but there’s some downside too - getting harassed for the almighty tip being one, then there are fans whose obsession is a little stalker-like, and Cruz’s public transport conundrum.

“I can’t take taxis either, they won’t stop talking and they will never let me pay,” he said.

Whyte Knight

It was 13-time jockeys’ championship winner Douglas Whyte causing traffic problems when, at the peak of his powers, he went walking through the busy area between Wan Chai and Causeway Bay one afternoon and caused traffic mayhem.

An overzealous bus driver spotted the South African and simply stopped in the middle of the street. Bemused passengers were left waiting as the driver sprinted across a few lanes, dodging cars, and asked Whyte for an autograph - all the while ignoring the hail of angry taxi driver abuse and beeping of horns.

“It looks quite a solid race this year but to be truthful I haven’t gone right through all of the form yet,” said Brown, who has on hand for de Kock when the South African trainer won the AP QEII Cup in 2006 with Irridescence and in 2008 with Archipenko.

“I will sit down and go through the race with Douglas (Whyte). He’ll know more about it than me and we can sort out a plan. At this stage, Dougie will come out and ride him tomorrow morning,” said Brown. Whyte rode the horse for the first time in Dubai.

Mike de Kock and Brown have been frequent visitors to Hong Kong but this is the first appearance since this time of the season in 2014 when their charge Variety Club scored a stunning four lengths win over Able Friend in the Champions Mile.

And while nobody would expect Ertijaal to win as authoritatively as Variety Club, he follows a proven path as de Kock’s two previous winners also progressed from Dubai. Archipenko was third in the Dubai Duty Free (now the Dubai Turf) while Irridescence won the Balanchine Stakes.

Tellytrack will broadcast the race and Saftote are covering races 7 to 10.

The QEII Cup is race 8. Normal bet types will be offered – these include Win/ Place/ Swinger/ Exacta/ Trifecta/ Quartet/ Jackpot/ Pick 3 (last 3)

We recently put jockeys’ fame to the test and took popular Australian rider Zac Purton, or “Pundon” as he is known in Cantonese, right into the heart of horse racing’s heartland and one of the busiest pedestrian areas in Hong Kong - Wan Chai market late on a weekday afternoon.

As expected, there were plenty of “welfies” and autograph requests, before a surprise visit for two racingobsessed market stall holders - Elsa Lui Po-chu and her

husband Lui Man-kee. When Purton approached the stall, which sells a colourful mix of candy, nuts and dried fruit snacks, the first thing that Elsa said is, “You don’t have to pay.” We should also note, in case Hong Kong Jockey Club chief steward Kim Kelly is reading, that no free candy bars or dried fruit were accepted as an appearance fee

by Pundon.

Dark Side

Then there is always the dark side of fame and the fans who get a little too crazy about their favourite jockey.

During Joao Moreira’s first season, with the hype around his whirlwind start building to fever pitch, one particularly devoted female follower came to Sha Tin in a wedding dress ready to walk down the aisle with the Magic Man, even trying to unceremoniously enter the parade ring over a guard rail.

That must have been somewhat unnerving for the newly arrived Moreira, but the Brazilian remains as obliging an athlete as there is, never knocking back autograph and photo requests.

Joao Moreira is an autograph machine, always fulfilling the requests of his fans.

It was one such request earlier this season that showed both the celebrity status of jockeys in this town, but more so the power of “the tip” combined with the relatively modern phenomenon of social media.

When Moreira plays in social football matches he probably enjoys being just one of the guys, but it is also a regular occurrence for him to provide opposition players with the chance to pose for a picture post-match.

Betting Moves

In mid-February, Moreira took visiting star rider Ryan Moore along for a game and when the pair posed together with two fans, little did they know that the innocent happy snap would inadvertently cause one of the biggest betting moves this season.

The picture was posted on social media, and, as these things are, was shared, liked and shared a few more times

again. Eventually, someone asks, “Any tips, lah?” in a moment thread, and before you know it, some wag is claiming Moreira “tipped” Diego Kosta and Moore was big on Imperial Concorde’s chances.

Come raceday, and after Diego Kosta bolts in, Moore was shocked to see odds of 2.2 showing about his mount, a horse that even the most generous of handicappers had rated a 25-1 shot.

By the way, there is no suggestion either rider actually offered tips, and besides, anyone that watches Jockey Club preview show Racing To Win would know that asking Moreira for a tip would be useless - the eternal optimist seems to think every horse he rides is a “nice horse and should win”.

Moore, meanwhile, might not have taken too keen an interest in studying form during his short stay, but he knows the difference between genuine even money chances and rank outsiders.

In the fame game, the positives outweigh the negatives, and it’s not like licensed persons are mobbed or pestered by paparazzi wherever they go.

It could be worse - having nobody recognise you probably means you haven’t ridden or trained many winners. www.scmp.com

CTS SELECT YEARLING SALE SALE PRICES 15 April 2016 - Emperors Palace, Johannesburg

Fine wine and Fast horses, that’s the motto of the Avontuur farm.

On the track Legal Eagle, favourite for next week’s R4 million Gr1 Champions Challenge, is keeping the farm’s breeding reputation in lights.

In the sale ring, the stud’s latest vintage of yearlings was toast of the town. The top three lots at the Emperors Palace Select sale, all of them colts, were consigned by Avontuur. All three went for R3 million or more. No vin ordinaire this!

Top price of R3.2 million was shared by two Oratorio colts. Markus Jooste, owner of Legal Eagle, got the better of persistent opposition when securing a grey son of Gr1 winner Sarabande. The youngster is half brother to a bunch of highclass winners, including Chesalon. The other Oratorio was for the account of Adriaan van Vuuren, who like Legal Eagle’s owners will be hoping for fireworks on Champions Day with his Triple Crown candidate Abashiri. The yearling is the first foal of winning Var-mare Varsity Queen, from a solid black type speed-family. The third top-priced colt was another Jooste-purchase, at R3 million. He’s the first foal of imported Street Cry mare Street Wise, who boasts a spectacular family background: her dam, by Woodman, is half sister to the dam of Australian champion sire Redoute’s Choice. This is also the female line of SA Champion sire Northern Guest, going to the mare Best In Show.

The top priced filly was the fourth-highest yearling overall, selling for R2.2 million.

Consigned by Klawervlei, the Silvano filly is full sister to Champion Vercingetorix, who started his career as a stallion at Maine Chance in 2015. She was another scalp for the Jooste-bench.

Top price of R3.2 million was shared by two Oratorio colts

#150 Oratorio colt x Sarabande (above) #193 Oratorio colt x Varsity Queen (below)

Of the thirteen yearlings selling for R1 million and more, five were by Silvano, three each by Dynasty and Oratorio, and one each for Var and Visionaire. This compared to nine millionaires a year ago (2 each for Silvano and Captain Al, plus 5 singles).

The buyers also were more varied this time than in 2015, when Mayfair Speculators got seven of the nine millionaires, the other two going to Joey Ramsden and Charles Laird. Of the thirteen millionaires in 2016, Mayfair got five, two each went to Duncan Howells and Chris van Niekerk, and four singles were for the account of Van Vuuren, Ralphs Racing, Brian Finch and John Freeman.

The top price in 2015 was R2 million, a dead heat. This year four beat that price (2.2m, 3m and twice 3.2m).

Even so, the overall result of the Select sale reflected the opinion of a seasoned consignor, who described the selling as ‘extremely difficult’. Buyers clearly needed much convincing before parting with their stash. The overall median dropped from last year’s R300k to R225k, colts going from R300k to R275k, fillies diving from R300k to R200k.

Overall this remained a highly successful auction, retaining last year’s place as the sale with the second highest median in the land. No doubt these figures will be firmly in the crosshairs for Bloodstock South Africa, which is staging the annual National Sale next week, the 40th held at their Germiston complex.

Stars On Track To Shine

P

Former Cartier Champion and Galileo’s brilliant baby brother, Sea The Stars (Cape Cross), has made a truly superb start to his stud career, writes Sarah Whitelaw.

lenty was expected of the Derby/Arc winning champion when Sea The Stars first retired to stud –and they were reinforced in no mean terms when a first crop weanling by the sire fetched €850 000 at the 2011 Goffs November Foal Sale.

Sea The Stars’ first, widely anticipated crop of foals included three individual G1 winners – Sea The Moon (Gr1 Deutsches Derby), Taghrooda (Gr1 Investec Oaks, G1 King George) and Vazira (Gr1 Prix SaintAlary), as well as four other group winners. The once beaten Sea The Moons, who won the German Derby by a whopping 11 lengths, became his sire’s first son to retire to stud, and currently stands at Lanwades Stud in Newmarket.

His second crop has already produced high class group winners such as Storm The Stars (G2 Great Voltigeur Stakes) and Star Storm (G3 Cumberland Lodge Stakes), as well Quasillo (a three parts brother to Querari) who won the G3 Bavarian Classic in 2015.

Group Winners

Sea The Stars’ current sophomores have made a most pleasing start in 2016, and already include a pair of group winners in Cloth Of Stars and Harzand, winners of the 2016 Gr3 Prix La Force and Gr3 Ballysax Stakes respectively.

Another promising 3yo son of the sire, Zelzal, is unbeaten in two outings, having followed up a six length maiden score with a four length win in a conditions stakes. Zelzal holds entries in both the French 2000 Guineas and French Derby and he looks a really exciting sort.

Sea The Stars, whose eight wins (from nine starts) included six at G1 level, has at least four daughters entered in the 2016 Investec Oaks, Aqualis, Beauly, Clear Skies, and September Stars, while there are no fewer than eight sons of Sea The Stars entered in the Derby –Across The Stars, Al Haram, Askari, Ezanak, Harzand, Stellar Mass, Tirmizi, and UAE Prince.

When taking into account the large number of 3yos, by Sea The Stars’ half brother Galileo and his sons New Approach and Teofilo, the influence of their great dam Urban Sea (Miswaki) is well and truly apparent.

In Memoriam Greg Royden-Turner

It is with very great sadness that we heard of the passing of Greg Royden-Turner of Roski Stud, who passed away suddenly in St Lucia on the evening of Wednesday 13 April.

Greg, a passionate horseman and a strong family man with a sharp sense of humour and always a smile, will be sorely missed.

Currently racing the likes of his Roski-bred Frosty Friday, Cassie O’ Malley and Al Kateece amongst others, Greg imported and purchased a number of well-bred mares including Kahal’s half-sister, and raced horses with great success.

Greg has bred the likes of Dubai winner Journeyman from his picturesque farm in Lidgetton, as well as a Western Winter colt named Chili Affair that sold for R1,2million in 2013.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Chelle, Soss and the rest of Greg’s beloved family

Stakes Winners

To date, Sea The Stars is the sire of 24 stakes winners, a total that looks sure to rise this year. His 31 threeyear-old runners include 15 individual winners this year, and he is currently well above his half brother Galileo on Europe’s Leading Sire of 3yos List.

Not surprisingly, as he is the sire of Sea The Stars’ Gr1 winning siblings Black Sam Bellamy and Galileo, Sadler’s Wells mares have already done well with Sea The Stars, with that cross having produced the outstanding filly, Taghrooda, as well as the now Australian based, Storm The Stars.

Old Vic, a son of Sadler’s Wells, is to be found in the pedigree of Sea The Stars’ champion Sea The Moon, while another son of the great sire, Barathea, is broodmare sire of the Sea The Stars sired stakes winner, Tall Ship, with In The Wings (Sadler’s Wells) damsire of the Cheshire Oaks winner, Anipa (Sea The Stars). The promising Zelzal is out of a daughter of Opera Aide, by Sadler’s Wells.

One can but speculate as to how this success rate will continue over the coming seasons, but it seems safe to say that we have not seen the last stakes winner by Sea The Stars out of a Sadler’s Wells line mare! Should Sea The Stars’ stud career continue in the vein it has began, he will add yet further to the growing strength of the Green Desert male.

Dream Stuff

This male line, whose current representatives also include Oasis Dream (sire of hot young sires, Querari and Showcasing, as well as Irish 2000 Guineas winner Power, already off the mark as a sire), Invincible Spirit ,and Lawman, is also responsible for another Derby/Arc winner in Golden Horn, who covered his first book of mares this year.

It is also interesting to note the success this male line has enjoyed in the Epsom classics

Sea The Stars

over the past few years. Sea The Stars (by the Green Desert sire Cape Cross) won the Derby in 2009, while Australia (by Galileo) is out of a mare by Cape Cross. That mare, Ouija Board, won the Investec Oaks in 2004, while 2012 Oaks winner, Was, is out of the Green Desert mare, Alluring Park. Another Oaks winner from this male line is Taghrooda, who romped home to win the Oaks by 3.75 lengths.

Latest Epsom classic winner to have emerged from this line is last year’s Investec Derby winner Golden Horn.

It is remarkable to think that all these Epsom champions descend in male line from a brilliant sprinter, who scored his biggest career victory in the G1 July Cup over 1200m!

Best To Come

While he has a long way to go before he can stand comparison with Galileo, Sea The Stars,

whose 2016 official stud fee is an impressive €125,000, is certainly looking a young stallion of considerable promise in his own right, and the best could well be yet to come for one of Europe’s greatest champions this century.

And, given, his own superb pedigree and high class of mare that he has covered already in his fledgling stud career, Sea The Stars could also make up into a top class broodmare sire down the line.

Deputy - Always On Duty!

H

Lammerskraal’s in-form sire Go Deputy has been enjoying a remarkable run of success this season, with his progeny including 3yo sensation, and Triple Crown hope, Abashiri.

owever, the G1 SA Classic/ G2 Gauteng Guineas winning Abashiri is not the only classic winner to represent the 2006 Gr1 Sword Dancer Invitational Handicap winner this season.

Go Deputy is also the sire of the brilliant Kenyan based filly Western Ballad (bred by Lammerskraal) who recently added to her seven length romp in the Kenyan Guineas with a stunning ten length romp in the Kenyan Derby. Remarkably, runner up Chesney, is also

by Go Deputy!

The great run of the son of Deputy Minister also continued in South Africa this weekend – with his only two runners on Friday, Arezzo and Current Event, winning their respective races.

Gr3 Cape Summer Stayers Handicap hero Current Event was the first to oblige, with the now Jacques Strydom trained gelding romping to home to win a conditions plate by a hard held five and a half lengths.

The talented stayer has now won or placed in no fewer than 19 races, and has earnings of over R630 000 to his credit –and is likely to add still further to this substantial total.

Former Listed Settlers Trophy hero Arezzo picked up his fourth career victory when he dug down deeply to win a MR 92 handicap for former champion trainer Justin Snaith and jockey S’Manga Khumalo. Then on Monday, his consistent son Gogetthesheriff flew home at Fairview to keep his hopes of East Cape Poly Triple Crown glory alive.

Go Deputy also has two sons, Royal Badge and Icy Trail, entered in Saturday’s Gr3 Tekkie Town Winter Guineas at Kenilworth.

Millionaire Go Deputy, whose relatives include the great US sire Fappiano (found in the pedigrees of all of American Pharoah, Tapit and War Front), has just two lots on offer at next week’s National Yearling Sale, and they are a must see for all serious buyers!

On The Right Lines

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

Solid Form

Scottsville The only distance to stage more than one race in Pietermaritzburg on Sunday was 1000m, and the fastest of these three races was the MR64 Handicap won by ROY’S GUARDIAN. Freely available at 6/1 on the off, the daughter of Rebel King raced in midfield during the early part of the race. She quickened well from halfway and under a well-judged ride from Alec Forbes she got up late to score by a half. Squeezed at the start, the runner up in this race BLACK CASHMERE was finishing best of all.

The faster of the two maiden juvenile plates over the 1000m trip was the girl’s affair where WILD IRISH got off the mark. Taken straight to the front by Sean Veale, Dennis Drier’s newcomer led throughout. She kept on strongly at the business end of the race won by a half from the favourite LIL GAMBLER. In terms of distance the easiest victory on the card was recorded by Wild Irish’s stable companion FERRIE when gaining his second career victory from just four starts in the MR82

10 April Handicap. Soon up with the speed, the son of Trippi asserted his authority shortly after passing the 300m marker and comfortably accounted for one of the rank outsiders of the ten horse party ROYAL ROY (66/1) by two and a half.

A pinnacle stakes over 1600m topped the bill and here victory went to the Dean Kannemeyer trained SOLID SPEED. Backed into favouritism at the track, the Dynasty gelding was squeezed at the start and raced in midfield for most of the journey. He ran on strongly in the straight and with the rest some five lengths adrift, he got up late to deny another of the progeny of Dynasty, DYNAMIC. TITBITS After taking up the running 300m out, the 3yo WEALTHY found extra when headed 100m later and went on to score going away by a length and a quarter.

Vaal 12th April Three of the eight races on the outside track on Tuesday were run over 1000m and quickest home amongst these was MOVIE SHOW in the MR68 Handicap. Allowed to drift as if having lost a leg throughout the day (8/1 out to 33’s), Paul Peter’s charge made all. She kept on strongly at the business end of the race and just held on by a neck from the always handy TAPAWAY (reported not striding out) by a neck.

There was also three races run over 1600m and stopping the clock in the fastest time here was SISTERS OF MERCY in the MR78 Handicap.

Content to guard the rear in what was always a very tightly bunched field, Tyrone Zackey’s charge made her move 400m out. She ran on best of all in the closing stages and in a race where just a length and a half covered the first six home, she got the verdict by a short head over BRAVO MAYA. The 7/2 favourite MELLIFLORA didn’t find the clearest of passages in this race when running on from the rear to fill sixth position. The easiest victory on the

The faster of the two juvenile plates (turf) that got proceedings underway on Wednesday afternoon was the boy’s division won by the newcomer CADDY MASTER. Easy to back at 33/1 on the off, Michael Robert’s charge was soon up handy. He put his head in front 100m out and won easing down by three quarters.

The faster of the two 1200m maiden races on the poly track was the not so lucky last won

by ROYAL VISIONAIRE. Freely available at 8/1 on the off, Paul Gadsby’s charge also raced handy. She was ridden to lead as they approached the 100m marker and with the rest comfortably beaten she won by a half from the front running SONIC A P. A MR96 Handicap on the poly track topped

the bill and in what proved to be the faster of the two races over 1400m on the surface, the 6yo TUSCAN registered his sixth career victory.

Nibbled at on course into 10/1 from 12’s, the son of Easing Along sat fifth early on. He ran on strongly in the short home straight and in a race where just a length and a quarter separated the first five home, he got the verdict by a neck over the 8yo grey STOLEN DESTINY. Fourth placed KINGSTON BOY (beaten just a length) caught the eye running on well from the rear in this race.

TITBITS A fluent winner of her only previous outing, the heavily supported 6/10 favourite CALL ME WINTER won the girl’s division of the juvenile plate easing down by two and a half.
