The favourite's stablemate French Navy cannot be discounted

Gr1 Premier’s Champions Challenge

Gr1 PREMIER’S CHAMPIONS CHALLENGE at Turffontein on Saturday

T

South Africa’s highest rated galloper Legal Eagle takes his next step to securing the Horse Of The Year title when he lines up as a warm order favourite to win the R4 million Gr1 Premier’s Champions Challenge at Turffontein on Saturday.

he son of Greys Inn has all the performance credentials and an illustrious cast of individual champions behind him.

He hails from the rampant Avontuur Thoroughbred Farm in the Western Cape where he first saw the light of day under the care of breeder extraordinaire Pippa Mickleburgh.

He races out of SA champion trainer Sean Tarry’s yard, he is owned by SA champion owners Markus and Ingrid Jooste, and will be ridden by former SA champion jockey Anton Marcus.

Into Battle

Other than the jockey, those illustrious connections will mean sweet nothing though when the gates are sprung at the 2000m marker shortly after 5pm as Legal Eagle takes on 12 quality pponents for the R2,5 million first cheque.

He certainly looks ready. The magnificent thoroughbred already has two of the country’s premier weight for age mile races under his belt this season, winning both the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate at Kenilworth in Cape Town and

the HF Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut Stakes at Turffontein.

The latter win secured him his third career Gr 1 victory and the sobering reality for his opposition is that he is to be even more effective as a fitter athlete and over the more testing 2000m. We suggest that considering the brilliance of his SA Derby win over 2450m at the corresponding meeting in 2015. Tarry has three others in the race.

In The Navy

Legal Eagle’s stablemate French Navy is also a Gr 1 winner and will provide serious opposition – but he has not been his old sparkling self in recent times This was illustrated by his flat footed third in the Gr2 Colorado King Stakes last time.

Weichong Marwing rides him for the first time.

Stable jockey S’manga Khumalo rides recent Colorado King Stakes runner up Stonehenge. The son of Seventh Rock made all to win that day but was denied in the boardroom after the stipes deemed that he had interfered with Unparalleled. He may lack a length or two at this level. Rounding off the Tarry quartet is Halve The Deficit

a 7yo who was beaten 5,90 lengths by Legal Eagle last time.

He gets 2kgs from the star but it won’t be enough to turn the tables. The best older filly still remaining in the land, the four-time Gr 1-winner Inara, won the Gr 1 Laurie Jaffee Empress Club Stakes over 1600m at Turffontein against her own sex – and has impressed her connections sufficiently to allow her a chance to have a bash at the big money here.

She is well drawn but has a major task over the 2000m and must have place prospects at best.

The Captain

Cape star Captain America is a serious miler on his day and got going too late when chasing Legal Eagle home and beaten 3,50 lengths last time. He is a fit galloper and is always thereabouts.

The talented Brazuca is one of only two 3yo’s in the race.

He was second best behind Abashiri in the SA Classic but gets 5,5 kgs from the older horses and must have a shout of spoiling the Tarry party.

He ran on stoutly for a late flying second in the Cape Derby and has a massive

chance if ridden properly – as he no doubt will be by Anthony Delpech.

The other 3yo is the Azzie trained Trading Profit who was beaten over 15 lengths by Abashiri last time. That won’t be good enough here.

Mike Azzie’s other runner is Deputy Jud who has had two quiet outings since his 2015 Supreme Cup victory. He has drawn wide out and looks pressed here.

Tyrone Zackey’s Judicial is always good value for place money but failed to finish off his race in the usual style when 6 lengths off in the Colorado King Stakes.

Mac De Lago is battling to register his third win and always runs on for place money. He has been fancied more often than he has

delivered and won’t be in our top four.

Inconsistent

Geoff Woodruff ’s Killua Castle is not the most consistent horse in training and has lost form.. While capable on his day, could run a drum at best. The same applies to Afrikaburn who has changed stable and was beaten 6 lengths in the Horse Chestnut Stakes. He has never recaptured his 2yo form.

Legal Eagle stands out on his best form and ability shown.

His last win was a courageous one and he looks to continue his march to further Gr1 success. Best of the rest will be his stablemate French Navy, while the smart 3yo Brazuca cannot be discounted if things go his way.

Setting A Premier Precedent!

The Premier’s Champions Challenge (formerly President’s Champions Challenge) is the new name for the country’s second richest open thoroughbred race, which is to be run on Saturday over 2000m at Turffontein for a stake of R4 million.

The Vodacom Durban July stake recently usurped this event as SA’s richest Gr1 as the KZN race was raised to R4,25 million.

The name change of the Gr 1 race, which was formerly known as the President’s Champions Challenge, reflects that Phumelela is working closely with the Premier’s office to grow the day.

“It is fitting in the Premier’s first year of being associated with the race that the

• Triple Gr1 European champion racer • Leading sire in Europe • 8 international Gr1 winners • 70 Gr runners

country’s best older horse Legal Eagle will be lining up,” said Phumelela Executive Clyde Basel.

The race will attract thousands to Turffontein, not least because it coincides with the new hero of the South African turf, the Mike Azie-trained Abashiri, making his bid to become the third horse in history to land the SA Triple Crown. Only the gruelling 2450m of the SA Derby and a few tough opponents stand in his way. There are four Gr 1 events on the day.

Basel said that the Premier will be welcomed with open arms to Turffontein and looks sure to be caught up in the excitement of the big occasion.

G

Lammerskraal Stud’s owner Pieter Graaff made a fair comment earlier this week. He asked when last a stallion stood on the brink of siring two individual Triple Crown winners in the same country in the same season. The revitalised Go Deputy is the big guy in question – and it looks well nigh impossible to halt his son Abashiri’s march to glory at Turffontein on Saturday.

raaff was chatting to the Sporting Post about the exciting acquisition of former Summerhill sire Visionaire when he referred to longtime Lammerskraal resident Go Deputy. While Abashiri is the talking horse – the one with the non talking trainer these days – Gogetthesheriff is another Go Deputy on a titanic triple.

The East Cape 2015 Polytrack horse of the year has one leg to go of the Polytrack Challenge – that is in a fortnight from now on Friday 13 May.

Lifechanger But for now it is all about the magnificent Abashiri – a horse who has changed the lives of everybody involved with him.

The highest-rated three-year-old in the country, is one of 12 runners in Saturday’s R2-million Gr1 SA Derby – and he stands out a mile – even without the sunshine orange of the Van Vuuren racing flag.

The race forms the third and final leg of the SA Triple Crown and Abashiri is on target to follow in the footsteps of past Triple Crown winners Horse Chestnut and Louis The King after impressive victories in the first two legs – the Betting World Gauteng Guineas and the SA

Classic. The Mike Azzie-trained Abashiri is now rated 117 – 9 points more than trainer Sean Tarry’s charge Samurai Blade, the second top-rated runner and an Australian bred that finished a decent third behind Abashiri in the 1800m SA Classic at Turffontein last time.

Trainer Sean Tarry is a major force in the features and is on record suggesting that his charge will be better suited to the longer distance of Saturday’s race.

The only thing likely to stop Abashiri is his not seeing out the trip – but his class and blood suggests that his connections have little to worry about.

His sire gets them to stay and his Elliodor dam has got them to win up to 2400m – even if she only won at the max of a mile herself.

His regular jockey Karl Zechner is riding at the peak of confidence after a slow start to his career and the shouts of ‘Galiek Yo Baby!’ will be ringing around Turffontein when the orange and black hits the front.

Azz Trio The rather subdued these days and word efficient Azzman has two others in the race.

Penteliko is also a Lammerskraal bred Go Deputy like Abashiri and is on the improve, having won his last two over 2400m. He definitely stays every inch of the race!

2011

Scheme Of Things is the third of the Azzie trio – he looks to have it all to do.

On 100, Gavin Van Zyl’s Rocketball is the third highest rated runner in the field. He has been comprehensively beaten at his last three by Abashiri and while he should enjoy the stamina test, he cannot beat the big horse.

On 92, the next bestweighted horse will be the classy looking Jubilee Line from the Mike de Kock stable.

This one-time winner was well beaten by Bankable Teddy in the Derby Trial at his penultimate jump.

His next run was better when staying on in a MR 92 Handicap with improved fitness obvious when 4,75 lengths behind Master Switch.

Anthony Delpech rides stablemate Kinaan, a winner over 2400m and a well bred sort who looks likely to improve as he matures.

Bear With Teddy Derby Trial winner Bankable Teddy is next best off an 89 and was impressive winner beating Stebbins there.

He was backed to win that and will be very effective over the extra here.

The beautifully bred Stebbins ran on nicely behind Bankable Teddy in the Derby

A.P INDY - PICO TENERIFFE (RED RANSOM)

Trial and is another who will enjoy the stamina test. His stablemate Premier Chance has only won once so far and was beaten ten lengths in the Derby Trial. Milla’s World is the second of the Tarry runners and enjoys the services of Cape jock Richard Fourie.

The son of Ideal World has won twice from six starts but is unexposed in feature company. For us it’s Abashiri – or bust!

Gr1 COMPUTAFORM SPRINT at Turffontein on Saturday

T

The competitiveness of the speed ranks makes the R1 million Gr1 Computaform Sprint one of the highlights of a superb Champions Day programme.

While the race is run at weight-for-age it is wide open and is another event on the programme where a Tarry fairer sex galloper could lower the flag of the males.

he princess of speed in Johannesburg, Carry On Alice, will be attempting to go one better than last year.

The four-yearold daughter of Captain Al was involved in a thrilling tussle in the 2015 Computaform Sprint with her now retired contemporary Alboran Sea and was beaten under a length.

Champion

The two lightning-fast girls finished 3.3 lengths clear of their male rivals, including the subsequently named Equus Champion Sprinter Captain Of All, who is officially South Africa’s highest merit rated sprinter of all time.

Carry On Alice later exacted revenge on Alboran Sea in the City Of Pietermaritzburg SA Fillies Sprint, to land her second career Grade 1.

She has a wonderful story behind her ownership, which includes stalwart owner Chris van Niekerk as well as

Dr John and Dr Jill Warner of the UK and her breeders Klawervlei Stud.

Carry On Alice is merit rated 110, which is the same rating of another horse with a fairytale story - the Coenie de Beer-trained Senor Santa winner Talktothestars.

Traveller

The small-string Vaal trainer has lived up to the axiom “Have horse will travel” in no uncertain terms and the tough Overlord gelding has seen most of South Africa, having raced in Pietermaritzburg, Cape Town and Kimberly as well as in his home town of Vereeniging and in nearby Johannesburg.

He finally landed the big race he deserved last time out when winning the Gr2 Senor Santa Stakes over 1160m at Turffontein – without shoes!

However, Carry On Alice and Talktothestars are not the highest-rated horses – that honour falls to the Louis Goosen-trained Trip Tease, who knows more about

winning than losing, having won no fewer than 15 of his 24 starts.

His merit rating makes him officially the classiest sprinter in the country, while his win last time out in the innovative Easter Dash over 600m at Scottsville showed him to also be the quickest.

His stablemate Doing It For Dan has been a touch disappointing and failed to recover from a slow start last time.

The low profile Vincente on the other hand has come well since leaving the Vaughan Marshall yard and has won already in just two Joburg starts.

On Parade

The PE flag is carried by an Yvette Bremner coupling, headed by a former winner of the Computaform Sprint, the evergreen eight-year-old Copper Parade.

The old boy is well and ran a decent fifth in the Cape Flying Championship before winning his last start at home.

Promising appie Lyle Hewitson rides his stablemate, the SA 1000m record holder Blizzard Belle. The Western Winter mare is bound to be going like the clappers from the gate.

KZN’s Summerveld-based trainer Michael Roberts, who is widely regarded as South Africa’s greatest-ever jockey, saddles Newbury Racing’s revitalised speedster Muscatt, a six-year-old gelding who recently smashed the Scottsville 1000m course record.

The son of Victory Moon has done the rounds having started his career in PE, but has never been better.

Summerveld trainer Dennis Drier won this race with the great filly Val De Ra in 2011 and saddles the nine-time winning Captain Al six-yearold gelding Barbosa, who has matured into a top class speedster.

Joey Soma’s lightly raced but problematic speedster Graduation Day is the mount of Anton Marcus and has his first serious test of ability. He has won three races with an aggregate of 15,50 lengths winning margin!

All Speed

Cape trainer Joey Ramsden saddles one of only two 3yo’s in the Var speedster Tar Heel,

who is very fast and showed his well-being with a blitzing end-to –end win over the Kenilworth 1000m last time.

He has his first start outside of Cape Town. African Ruler is the other 3yo and rated a point superior to Tar Heel.

The son of Trippi is talented and ran a cracking second to Bull Valley in the Man ‘O War Sprint last time. Moofeed and Splendid Garden were both well beaten in the Senor Santa, while Belong To Me is a shadow of his former self.

Former Cape Town-based sprinter Daring Dave has left Justin Snaith and now races out of new trainer Weiho Marwing. He has a few starting issues but if the new environment has remedied that for him, he could turn his form around.

The unbeaten Cloth Of Cloud takes on the boys

Gr1 G r1 SA NURSERY at Turffontein on Saturday

T

In what could prove a shrewd tactical move by SA champion trainer Sean Tarry, promising filly Cloth Of Cloud takes on the boys in the R1 million Gr1 SA Nursery at Turffontein on Saturday. The race is the first leg of a Pick 6 which, with the assistance of a R1,4 million carryover, is expected to hit the R5 million mark.

he Captain Al filly is unbeaten in her only two starts and will present the option of a Pick 6 banker for many exotic bet fans looking to scoop a decent payout – albeit with the obvious additional options of two other anchors in Legal Eagle and Abashiri likely to keep the dividend to suburban levels at best.

Carry On Regardless

It was another Captain Al filly in the champion speedster Carry On Alice who contests the Gr1 Computaform Sprint later on in the day, who showed her

trainer that a good girl can wallop a good boy. This was the route followed by Tarry in 2014 and he hopes to do the same on Saturday.

Cloth Of Cloud, a half-sister to Mike Bass charges Silver Mountain and Helderberg Blue, has won both her starts in really very impressive style, including a heart stopping victory in the Gr3 Pretty Polly Stakes. She completed the 1100m in 0.66sec faster than Janoobi, who won the Protea Stakes on the same day and who meets her in this ten horse field.

As a filly Cloth Of Cloud gets a 2.5kg sex allowance which could give her a further advantage.

But she has her head issues and we saw that streak when she stopped dead in the Pretty Polly at the line almost unseating Khumalo – and in the progress also coming close to colliding with a placed runner.

She will have been schooled and will be a touch more mature on Saturday – and Bling will know what to expect!

Decent

Her male stablemates Flying Myth and Rightful King look like they are no slouches.

The former has his third run and ran a decent third after showing pace in the

• •

EIGHTFOLD PATH

by CHAMPION Giant’s Causeway out of French CHAMPION Divine Proportions

Gr3 Protea Stakes. The time comparison suggests he cannot beat the filly though.

Rightful King was backed on a course and distance debut when flying home to beat He’s A Var in a course and distance debut victory.

Anton Marcus is engaged.

Janoobi, on whom Anton Marcus won the Protea Stakes, will be partnered by Weichong Marwing for the Mike de Kock yard.

The son of Silvano has won two from three and while made heavy going of that last win and probably needs further, he must be respected.

Mike Azzie’s beautifully bred Rivarine was just shaded

by Flying Myth last time and looks to be a scopy sort who will get better.

He cannot be left out of the equation for those hoping to get the Tarry filly beaten.

Erasmus Coupling

The Leon Erasmus coupling of Approval Mode and He’s A Var have both

won well- but both look held

by Janoobi.

Approval Mode won his first two starts on the trot and was slightly outpaced in the Protea Stakes.

He’s A Var finished just behind him.

Chili Con Carne showed appreciation for the 1400m at his second start when running on to an impressive 4,25 length win. He may find this pace a touch too hot to handle but will be running on late.

Joey Soma’s nattily bred Double Appeal beat Querari Viking to win at the fourth time of asking and with top jockey Anthony Delpech taking the ride again (his third on the trot) we can only summise that there is some ability lurking in the shadows.

The course and distance winner faces his biggest test to date.

Decisions

Pick 6 punters will have a simple choice – banker Cloth Of Cloud or go the field.

If she comes under pressure early like she did in the Pretty Polly, then it could be sweating stakes.

SA Fillies Classic heroine Juxtapose could follow up

Cool Chardonnay will be ridden by top pace judge Richard Fourie

Gr2 SA OAKS at Turffontein on Saturday

S

With the Wilgerbosdrift SA Triple Tiara safely locked away in a cabinet this season, the fairer sex series has been overshadowed somewhat by the colts’ equivalent. That said, the R1 million Gr2 SA Oaks looks to be a thriller of a race in the making and there will be plenty of interest in finding a likely winner. tan Ferreira has done an outstanding job with Judpot’s daughter Juxtapose.

She pulled off something of a giantkilling act last time to beat Negroamaro in the SA Fillies Classic.

Top Rated

Chase Maujean rides the Varsfontein-bred filly again and as the highest rated runner in the race and no Negroamaro in sight, she must be the first choice.

Like many of the field, she tries the 2400m trip for the first time and most seem confident of her seeing it out.

Stan also saddles Bondiblu who looks to be an optimistic entry on face value.

Recent birthday boy Kom Naidoo saddles KZN raider Princess Varunya, who ran a decent enough fourth in the Fillies Classic.

The daughter of High Chaparral has not found things easy going in her two runs up North but should enjoy the stamina test - even though her 13 draw is a negative.

Lucky Houdalakis has been luckier with the draw with the Gr3 Jacaranda Handicap winner, Peggy Jay. This daughter of Gold Cup winner Colonial Girl, has won three on the trot and is proven over the ground. She has furnished into a lovely young staying prospect and will give cheek despite her task looking slightly difficult on paper.

On The Red Carpet

Mike de Kock’s enigmatic Persian Rug at last gets the kind of ground she looks to be yearning for.

The daughter of Ideal World finished 4.2 lengths back in the Fillies Classic but pulled up lame on her near fore.

Her previous run in the Gauteng Guineas was full of merit and Anton Marcus could bring out the best in her, even though she has a wide draw to overcome.

Sean Tarry trains Witchcraft who is an interesting runner based on her decent fifth in the SA Fillies Classic. She won her previous start over 2000m in a lower handicap and has actually beaten Peggy Jay earlier.

She has drawn very wide which won’t count in her favour.

The beautifully bred Zafira has impeccable form and was unlucky to find The Centenary in fighting form last time when going down narrowly in the Spook Express.

The daughter of Silvano is another that hasn’t drawn nicely but her gate speed suggests that she can overcome that without too much trouble.

Nicely Bred

Estimation ran on nicely for third under a length behind Inaninstant in the Listed Oaks Trial and this well-bred filly looks another staying sort in the making.

She is held by Witchcraft on her penultimate run however and could be worth watching into her 4yo season.

Tyrone Zackey’s A P’s Lily was beaten 10 lengths in the Listed Oaks Trial and while a winner of three has not quite shown the ability that suggests she could win a race of this nature.

Geoff Woodruff trained Christmas Carol disappointed in the SA Fillies Classic and needs to show more at this level. Much the same applies to Melliflora who has been disappointing after showing good early three year old form.

American Story is a lightly raced daughter of Judpot and was not disgraced when fourth in the Oaks Trial. She ran a fair third in a lower handicap last time and looks a filly capable of improving.

Stiff Task

Fortissima has won two on the trot and appears to be improving although facing a very stiff task at these weights. She may be ahead of the Handicapper and can be included for the back end of quartets.

Snowdonia has fair form but is another that fits into the category that has more to do on her rating. She looks eminently suited to this trip on breeding.

Justapose and Persian Rug are the choices in a closely contested race.

Based on the paper evidence Juxtapose can go on and improve to make it a stakes double.

She deserves it on what she has shown.

Gr2 GOLD BOWL at Turffontein on Saturday

O

The longhaulers get the Champions Day feature menu underway before lunchtime with the running of the R500 000 Gr2 Gold Bowl.

nly nine runners pitch up for the 3200m marathon which is run r a t h e r earlier in the programme than what we are used to on these feature major racedays.

Marwing Trainer Weiho Marwing holds a decent hand with the top weighted Listed Aquanaut Stakes winner, Cool Chardonnay, and the handily weighted Frikkie on the other end of the scale.

The Highlands-bred Cool Chardonnay stays very well and won the Aquanaut with an impressive end to end display of pace judgement under the up-and-coming young Callan Murray. Similar tactics were applied at his last start in the Gr3 Caradoc Gold Cup where he hung under pressure late and was beaten under a length into fourth place behind the progressive Fortune Fella.

The engagement of jockey Richard Fourie for Cool Chardonnay is an interesting one as the strong Cape rider is a noted exponent of the art of riding from the front. This is likely the first time that Fourie will throw a leg over the son of Antonius Pius.

The 4yo’s last course and distance effort was a good one when he was only run out of it late by Supertube.

He beat Storm Warning by 1.25 lengths there in receipt of a kilo but has a 3.5kg swing

against him on Saturday which won’t make it easy.

Strike Storm Warning will be ridden

by Anton Marcus which with all due respect to his previous regular amounts to a jockey strike and one to be taken seriously. The 6yo son of Jet Master enjoys being settled and running at them during races and while has never won over 3200m, he must come into calculations.

Geoff Woodruff’s Arch Rival is another decent staying sort who is always thererabouts and caught the eye when running on powerfully for second behind Fortune Fella in the Caradoc Gold Cup in his last start.

He has matured nicely and we are inclined to forgive him his only try over 3200m when beaten 11 lengths by Supertube.

He meets Fortune Fella on a half kg better terms for a half length beating last time.

Mambo In Seattle’s quickly improving son Fortune Fella looks to be going the right way and came into his own last time with a maiden stakes victory under Muzi Yeni on Classic Day. He is another that didn’t quite put it together in his first try over 3200m but seems to be getting stronger and cannot be ignored.

Top Jock The Sean Tarry trained Supertube has lost form recently after winning the Racing Association Stakes on Summer Cup Day over the

course and distance. He will have his supporters with his handy galloping weight and top jockey Khumalo in the saddle.

The Stuart Pettigrew trained Elusive Flyer was beaten 3 lengths by Fortune Fella last time out but comes in nicely weighted on that run and warrants outside place considerations at best.

The Mike De Kock trained Smart Mart reverts to the marathon after running on nicely over shorter at his last few starts. While he did not prove to us that he sees out the 3200m on his earlier form, he is another that cannot be ignored from a powerful stable under a handy galloping weight.

Joey Soma’s Savage Wind managed to get back into the winner’s box after a two year drought when winning a lower division handicap last time out.

He has let us down once too often to suggest that he could challenge as a likely winner.

Frikkie rounds off the field and looks held on his recent form. He has not managed to win again since scoring smartly in a maiden over ground in 2015.

Tough This is a competitive staying contest which could dish up a combination of varying results.

There should be little to choose between the top four, but Richard Fourie could work some magic on Cool Chardonnay, followed closely

by Storm Warning and Fortune Fella. A deceptively tricky race in summary.

Mike Azzie saddles the good filly on Saturday and interestingly has stuck with the former owner’s husband in the saddle – Weichong Marwing has been aboard at all but one of the 4yo’s seven victories.

Worst The record books show that the 2015 Gr2 Camellia Stakes was Lazer Star’s worst run in her eleven starts.

As has been the case at of most of her racecourse appearances she started favourite – but failed to kick and ran a rare bad race.

New trainer Mike Azzie will be keen to set the record straight when she faces eleven rivals in the 2016 renewal on Saturday.

Her last start was probably her best to date when she came within a heartbeat of winning the Senor Santa. Her penultimate was also against the boys when again going down agonisingly narrowly in the Gr2

Hawaii Stakes. Her form looks a cut above the rest and this is probably her favourite trip.

Azz Trio The Azzman also saddles Easy Game and Mella Maria.

Karl Zechner knows how to ride Easy Game, who won the Listed Bauhiinia Handicap three runs back.

Gr3 Sycamore Sprint winner Tiger’s Touch is one of a Tarry duo that includes Gauteng Guineas winner Heaps Of Fun who drops in trip after appearing not to stay the SA Fillies Classic 1800m.

Tiger’s Touch may not have seen out the mile of the Empress Club Stakes when 2 lengths fourth to Inara last time. Her speed form is outstanding.

Sensible Lover has come well in her late 4yo season and ran on powerfully in the Sycamore and the Empress Club Stakes – in both running on too late for second.

She is a classy sort and Richard Fourie is back to ride her.

Good Girls Stan Ferreira saddles two hard knockers in Kwinta and Lumya.

Both 4yo’s are capable and

while Kwinta may have found the Senor Santa a bit hot last time, she will be more comfortable against her own sex again. She is very quick.

Lumya may be held by Easy Game on their Bauhinia meeting but is never far off the action and can bank place money.

Lucky Houdalakis saddles Ha Lucy and Joan Ranger – the latter returning from a KZN raiding stint where she was not disgraced with a win and Gr3 placing.

Ha Lucy was well beaten in the Sycamore Sprint and this daughter of Trippi has a few lengths to make up.

Corne Spies’ Sarve registered her last win in Kimberley – she is fit and versatile and could shock if in the mood.

David Nieuwenhuizen trained Kilauea has won 2 from 4 starts but is held by Tiger’s Touch on the Sycamore run.

Star Choice The race looks Lazer Star’s for the taking and she is the confident selection to beat Tiger’s Touch and Sensible Lover.

It will be interesting to see how Heaps Of Fun performs back on the straight track.

T

While all the attention on Champions Day will be on Mike Azzie and his champion 3yo Abashiri, trainer Sean Tarry won’t be too far behind and looks to have plenty of opportunity of increasing his lead on the top of the National Trainer’s Log.

arry has a lead of almost R2 million over his nearest rival Justin Snaith and his Champions Day attack looks a really decent one and likely to enhance his lead substantially.

Slow Away

The ever reliable Trophy Wife is the top rated runner in the R400 000 Gr2 Gerald Rosenburg Stakes and is one of a strong three pronged Tarry attack. The daughter of Tiger Ridge ruined her chances when slow off in the Gr1 Laurie Jaffee Empress Club Stakes at her last start.

In a very rare non-earning performance she was beaten out of the money by top class Inara. While slow starting has bugged Trophy Wife throughout her career it will not be as crucial over the 400m extra of this feature.

S’Mango Khumalo sticks with her and with a 2 draw, she will have plenty in her favour.

Instant Success

Her year younger stable mate Inaninstant won the Listed Oaks Trial at her last start and goes for four on the trot. The daughter of Silvano is obviously improving quickly and even thought the form

book suggests that a true run from Trophy Wife could topple her, she certainly is going in the right direction.

The third of the Tarry trio is Enchanted Silk whose form is less impressive than that of her stable mates. She has shown top ability at various times of her career, but looks a better prospect for the breeding paddocks at this stage of the game. Trainer Mike de Kock has a decent duo of runners headed by the Listed Spook Express winner The Centenary.

The New Zealand-bred filly was having only her second start after a long break when staying on stoutly and beating Zafira and Marmalady in that race.

Randall Simons has formed something of an affinity with her and he rides again.

Her stablemate Ahlaam has been battling recently and seemed more effective on the sand when that facility was still available.

Vino Veritas and Cassie O’Malley represent the Gavin Van Zyl yard and look to be outside hopefuls at best.

Delpech Rides

Patchit Up Baby jumps from the 1 draw and gets the services of Anthony Delpech.

After a slightly disappointing effort in the

Spook Express, she could bounce back here.

The daughter of ideal World has shown the ability to turn it on late but was flat footed when beaten by The Centenary and is held on that run.

Her stablemate Marmalady finished 2,25 lengths in front there and has maintained a strong and consistent form line since relocating from Joey Ramsden.

She is always thereabouts and with Weichong Marwing up looks an appealing choice to challenge the top two.

Tyrone Zackey’s Pennington Sands was well beaten in the Spook Express and tends to be a little inconsistent.

The 5yo Coby looks outclassed although anything can happen with Andrew Fortune on her back in an open sort of race.

Deep End

Louis Goosen throws his two into the deep end.

Misristocrat has not been far off but won’t have it easy, while Tricia Dupont only won her maiden at her last start and faces a quantum leap in class.

The Tarry pair of Inaninstant and Trophy Wife are the choice to fight this out.

SA Champions Season

What Really Matters?

It’s something of an anomaly in the international scheme of things that this country’s big three races – or possibly four if you include the Premier’s Champion Challenge – are not run at WFA. The Vodacom Durban July, J&B Met and Sansui Summer Cup all have differing weight conditions, writes Andrew Harrison.

M

aybe it’s a colonial hangover from an era where betting was more important than the runners and the Durban July was a race for the masses rather than the well-heeled. There are racing purists who still argue that all three of these events should be run at WFA to conform to the international pattern for Group 1 status.

While the purists have achieved a measure of success by getting the weight range compressed to be more acceptable internationally, it matters little in the bigger scheme of things. The word ‘handicap’ has been dropped from the official July name as it has morphed from a long handicap to where the weights are now but a token gesture.

The Dream

The bottom line is that every racehorse owner and trainer dreams of a runner in the July, no matter the weights.

The history of the July stretches back over a century and to some extent can be equated to The Melbourne Cup, a race that holds international fascination and dubbed ‘the race that stops

a nation’ and like the July breaks every rule as far as international Group 1 status is concerned. For one it’s a long handicap and secondly it’s run over two miles. But quite honestly I don’t think the Aussies would give a damn one way or another if it lost its rating – pretty much the way most South African’s would feel about the July.

Like our July, it cocks a snoot at the world.

As Les Carlyon wrote about his beloved Cup, “No elite fields here. Instead up to twenty-four runners jostling and finessing so that if weight doesn’t stop a champion, the traffic probably will.”

There were enough hard luck stories in last year’s July

to fill a book but all that finally counts are the finishing order posted by the judges and the people attending the spectacle.

Squatters

Marquees the length of office blocks populate the Greyville infield like some garish squatter settlement that grows bigger each passing year.

Entry into one of these ‘tents’ is like gold. They provide the best of both worlds, a refuge from the masses and close enough to the action to catch a breath and a light libation before venturing back into the scrum. Refuge too for those less comfortably minded; those decked out in body suits, tottering on ridiculously

high heels and cursing Jimmy Choo.

Come eight o’clock and threading your way in the dark back to your car you will constantly be stepping around prone forms of racing purists, so moved by the glory of what they have just seen on the track that they passed out and the moans and giggles coming from the bushes and bunkers, indications of a busy time in the shotgun trade and maternity wards come March the following year.

South Africa’s Champion season is under way in a fortnight and the Vodacom Durban July is but two months away.

Sean Tarry's Var flyer Exquisite Touch looks tough to oppose here

Gr2 G r2 SA FILLIES

S

NURSERY at Turffontein on Saturday

The R400 000 Gr2 SA Fillies Nursery launches the Champions Day Place Accumulator and many hopes will rest on the shoulders of Sean Tarry.

ean Tarry has an extraordinary arsenal of 2yo fire-power again this term and this abundance of riches has given the SA champion an enviable array of choices in terms of the programming and placement of his stock.

You may have read elsewhere that he has opted to go the route of taking a gamble on a sex allowance with his unbeaten Cloth Of Cloud who takes on the colts in the SA Nursery later on.

Unbeaten

Tarry saddles a coupling in the fillies race which includes the very promising Waterford Stud-bred Var flyer, Exquisite Touch, who is unbeaten in two starts and tries 160m further on Saturday. Exquisite Touch won the Listed Ruffian Stakes at her second start beating Seattle Singer rather easily by 1.30 lengths.

It is worth noting that Seattle Singer then came out a few weeks later on Classic Day and pushed the Silvano colt Janoobi all the way to the wire in the Gr3 Protea

Cape Dominate EAST CAPE OAKS (Listed) at Fairview last Friday

T

Stakes. That was impressive from the Spies maiden and certainly underlines the strength of Exquisite Touch’s performance.

Needs More

Alec Laird’s Arissa was a comfortable winner of her second start but was then

beaten close on 10 lengths in the Gr3 Pretty Polly Stakes.

She looks a filly bred to go a little further than this.

Paul Peter’s Cyber Magic is still a maiden and did not run a bad race when 3 lengths back in the Pretty Polly.

David Nieuwenhuizen has a trio of runners and all three are yet to be exposed at feature level.

The winner amongst them is the Bezrin filly Electric Lady who came to hand at her 3rd start when showing plenty of toe to beat Roman Evening 2.5 lengths.

Roy Magner’s Open Road shed her maiden over 1400m and looks like another who will go better over ground in time to come.

Paul Matchett’s maiden

Pinot Var is held by Exquisite Touch on her second run but did improve on experience.

Party Time

Pool Party is the second of the Roy Magner runners and won over the course and distance when beating Bubbling Brooke.

She looks capable of more improvement but is not in the same league as the Tarry filly over this trip.

Secret Vision made her debut in the Pretty Polly Stakes and was not disgraced finishing 3.9 lengths off Cloth Of Cloud. She ran on nicely late and with Andrew Fortune in the saddle could step up further. Exquisite Touch looks the one to beat and she should make it three from three.

Captain Leads No Worries The Charge About Stamina SWEET CHESTNUT STAKES (Listed) at Kenilworth last Saturday

Jockey Aldo Domeyer got the ball rolling on his treble feature weekend winning streak at Fairview on Friday when he rode a powerful finish to get Solana home to win the R150 000 Listed East Cape Oaks.

he Cape fillies always looked superior to the locals and that was the way it panned out – albeit not necessarily in the punter’s favour, with the favourite Entrechat being beaten into third.

Only eight fillies lined up at the 2000m marker and with nobody prepared to go, S’manga Khumalo took the 16-10 Entrechat out to lead after she had fought him for a few strides.

She led all the way into the 400m as an all Drakenstein finish looked to be on the cards as Bernard Fayd’herbe brought Arabian Winter up to challenge her.

While the blues were fighting it out, Aldo Domeyer rode one of his five winners for the weekend as he brought the lesser fancied Solana up the middle and she found her best stride late to win going away by 0,75 lengths in a time of 124,85 secs.

Arabian Winter stayed on well for second, a half length ahead of Entrechat.

The rest were well beaten.

Bred by La Plaisance Stud, Solana is a daughter of Querari out of the lightly raced four-time winning Jallad mare, Senorita Sol – who also campaigned in the Plattner silks. Solana took her stakes tally to R187 500 with her third win from just six starts.

She looks decent and with the confidence of her first splash of black type, she should go on from here.

Coupling

Her stable mate Myfunnyvalentine was backed on debut a fortnight ago and came home readily to beat Missibaba easily. While there is little to underscore the strength of that form, the daughter of Captain Al, has done little wrong and gets the services of Anthony Delpech.

Mike De Kock’s Australianbred Fursa finally put the

action together in her fourth outing when a runaway maiden winner in a modest field at the Vaal.

The daughter of Hard Spun looks held on earlier form over shorter by Exquisite Touch though.

Working through the rest, Star Burst Galaxy, stands out as a potential improver after three runs.

The daughter of Var will be ridden by Anton Marcus and after winning on debut beating Seattle Singer, she has twice been walloped by Exquisite Touch and really does look held.

The Rondeberg yard of leading owner Sabine Plattner headed by Andre Nel rounded off a terrific weekend feature double at Kenilworth on Saturday. The promising Captain’s Flame skipped clear in the final stages of the 1400m contest to overcome a wide draw and slam her opposition in the R150 000 Listed Sweet Chestnut Stakes.

competitive field of fifteen 3yo fillies lined up to contest the first leg of the Cape Winter Series for the fairer sex and after a rainstorm 24 hours earlier, the Kenilworth Saturday dawned bright and clear – albeit a tad chilly.

My Emblem, Let’s Go Get It and Supercilious showed the way as Aldo Domeyer had Captain’s Flame within three lengths and a little wide as she overcame her poor barrier position.

While the leaders continued to roll with a couple battling to make up ground, the race was over early in the straight.

Starting at 10-1, Captain’s Flame turned on the jets at the 300m and with a light show of the whip, she drew off to win very impressively by 1,50 lengths in a time of 86,33 secs. The winner’s effort was made more striking by the fact that as an inexperienced filly having her first race around the turn, she also had to overcome a very wide draw.

The consistent Goodtime Gal ran on well as she slipped through down the

inside rail to maintain her good form in second, while stakes winner Anglet ran a forward race after a 20 week break to grab third a further 2,25 lengths back.

Supercilious looked dangerous late after showing pace but faded late to hang on for fourth. The major disappointment of the race was the 14-10 favourite Qing who failed to fire and ran one from last.

Bred by Cheveley Stud, Captain’s Flame is a daughter of last season’s champion sire Captain Al out of the onetime winning Fort Wood mare, Kindling.

She has now won 3 races with 2 places from 5 starts for stakes of R196 725. She also enjoyed the BSA Added Value Stakes Bonus of R77 500 here.

Owned by Sabine Plattner, the smart filly was signed for by John Freeman when the hammer fell at R1.2 million on the 2014 Emperors Palace National Yearling Sale. She is a full sister to former Gr2 Tibouchina Stakes winner Fragrant Al and a half sister to Lady’s Bracelet winner Rekindle and is also very closely related to the high class speedster Barbosa (by Captain Al), now a stakes winner of eight races.

HIGHLAND NIGHT CUP

at Scottsville last Sunday

T

Longstanding past SA champion breeders Summerhill Stud celebrated a feature exacta at Scottsville on Sunday when two sons of Kahal fought out the finish of the R120 000 Highland Night Cup.

he 2400m non black-type staying contest only hosted a field of nine and while pace looked an issue, it was not to be, as Anthony Delpech took the blinkered second favourite Solar Star out from the break.

With Serissa stalking him, Solar Star looked comfortable as he eventually relaxed out front and took them along at a decent pace.

In the run for home, Solar Star skipped and looked a winner inside the 300m. But No Worries was winding up smartly and he went past his younger rival in the final 150m.

Warren Kennedy rode a well judged race and kept the chestnut nicely balanced to secure victory by 0,75 lengths in a time of 148,30 secs.

It was No Worries first win since October 2014.

Solar Star did a lot of the donkey work under Anthony Delpech and ran a decent race at his first try over the trip – he can be followed over ground on this showing.

Owned by ‘Buffalo Bill’ Burnard, No Worries is by the top producer Kahal out of the eleven time winning Rambo Dancer mare Coastal Waltz.

The ill-fated Kahal was owned by Shadwell Stud, and was a son of Machiavellian. He earned Gr2 victories in the Challenge Stakes at Newmarket and the Nearctic Handicap at Woodbine. He stood at Summerhill Stud before transferring to Bush Hill Stud where he died in June 2014.

A Gr2 winner at best, No Worries has won 5 races with 14 places from 38 starts for stakes of R2 202 075.

An elated assistant trainer Gareth Van Zyl hinted that the 6yo would now be aimed at the Gr2 Gold Cup which is run over 3200m on Super Saturday at the end of this season.

Winter Deja Vu For Marsh & Mike Gr3 WINTER GUINEAS

at Kenilworth last Saturday

I

It is early days yet and Silvano’s son Marinaresco may not have the same physical presence as champion Pocket Power, but one could forgive part-owner Marsh Shirtliff a lump in the throat and a possible misty eye as he watched the Mauritzfontein bred gelding come home an authoritative winner of the R250 000 Gr3 Winter Guineas at Kenilworth on Saturday.

t was ten years ago that the then unheralded Pocket Power beat the Basil Marcus trained Majestic Sun by over 3 lengths to set up a Cape Winter Triple Crown triumph that has never been equalled – and was to be the opening page of an extraordinary chapter in South African horseracing.

The champion raced in the very same ‘boys and girls’ silks as those worn by Aldo Domeyer on Saturday – and

for the staunch Shirtliff, who raced the big boy’s full-sister River Jetez in the Amm yellow, hope no doubt springs eternal that he may yet find another just half as good as the ‘King Of Kenilworth’.

The Tekkie Townsponsored Winter Guineas is the first leg of the R1 million Cape Winter Series – and despite the distractions of the KZN star show and the Cape winter weather – it is a deceptively strong arena of good horses over the years,

including the likes of Winter Solstice, Variety Club, July winner Power King and most recently Act Of War, to name a few.

Joey Ramsden trained three of the aforementioned stars, but the Milnerton conditioner will probably want to forget the 2016 renewal as soon as he can. He sent out Gr2 Selangor Cup winner Hard Day’s Night, who led for a long way on Saturday but fell away to finish way back – the unkindest cut may be due.

But worse was the fate that befell his stablemate Mr Wise Guy. The son of Visionaire broke through the gates and away from recent birthday boy Gareth Wright, and was withdrawn after galloping the course.

The unacceptable situation of punishing well behaved horses, who are forced to idle and fall asleep, at the expense of delinquent or poorly schooled horses, was highlighted in the process.

Ironically it was the eventual third placed Vilikazi who was the villain of the peace – refusing to load and then backing out after being bundled in – causing a lengthy delay and probably contributing materially to the eventual breakout of Mr Wise Guy.

What is the solution to this predicament that impacts on all involved – including punters and owners – two sectors that racing needs to look after properly?

After the start drama, another Crawford runner in This Is Sparta lost ground, but that may have been partly intentional, given his wide draw.

With Marinaresco settled nearer last Hard Day’s Night led them all the way around and was taken to the outside rail into the home straight.

With Vilakazi and Marinaresco still some ten lengths back at the 400m, Whisky Baron was launched down the outside to challenge as the leaders started falling away.

But Domeyer was sitting with a double handful and in

THE SLEDGEHAMMER (Listed)

THE SCARLET LADY (Listed)

at Scottsville last Sunday

at Scottsville last Sunday

Summerveld trainer Garth Puller held the local flag high for the KZN establishment at Scottsville on Sunday. His Mogok gelding Way Of Light was in a galloping mood and caused an upset when coming home powerfully to win the R150 000 Listed The Sledgehammer.

he former champion jockey has done well with relatively modest stock and his charge put a few big names to shame with an impressive win – although he got a bit lucky when the low-flying runnerup It Is Written hit traffic issues at a crucial stage of play. The field of eleven did not lack for depth and after Dynastic Power had led for a long way, it was Way Of Light that found a clear passage down the centre under replacement rider Billy Jacobson.

The longshot grabbed the lead at the 200m as It Is Written found himself boxed in and unable to get a run.

The Kannemeyer runner eventually found a gap and flew, just failing to

catch Way Of Light, who held on to win by a neck in a time of 104,70 secs.

Dynastic Power stayed in a blanket finish ahead of Night Shadow. Only a quarter length covered the top four.

It was not a clean race in the latter stages with Night Shadow hanging in late and It Is Written baulked for a clear run between the 300m and 200m marks. A great pity as he won so well down the outside at the same course at his previous start.

Starting at 30-1 Way Of Light has proven quite consistent with 6 wins and 7 places from his 16 starts. He took his stakes earnings to R452 925.

He was bred by the late Gilbert Werner and is a son of the ever reliable Mogok out of the Argosy mare Gran Fan, who won twice.

Cape trainer Joey Ramsden enjoyed a change of luck in the final feature event of the weekend with Anthony Delpech riding a powerful finish to secure top honours in the R150 000 Listed The Scarlet Lady at Scottsville on Sunday.

ormer PE galloper Crackpot has settled in smartly to Ashburton and the daughter of Judpot led theh large field for home as Deputy Ryder moved to challenge her at the 400m.

With Bernard Fayd’herbe riding a powerful finish Deputy Ryder (another Go Deputy!) looked a winner inside the 250m. But Anthony Delpech had other ideas and he brought the 2015 Gr2 Gold Bracelet winner Gallica Rose up to challenge and in a desperate dash to the line, the latter got the verdict by a quarter length in a time of 104,92 secs.

Deputy Ryder had to overcome a

wide draw and was not disgraced – ironically Fayd’herbe, who rode her here, had been aboard when Gallica Rose had won the Gold Bracelet.

Cape challenger Adorada caught the eye with a smart late dash into third, while the gallant Crackpot clung on to secure fourth after leading for a long way.

Gallica Rose is a R200 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 graduate, and has now won 6 races with 5 places from 20 starts.

She took her stake earnings to R672 675 and looks to have a bright SA Champions Season ahead of her.

She is daughter of Silvano, who was bred by Digteby Stud out of the five time winning Al Mufti mare, Al Jestic.

a thrilling finish Marinaresco powered home to beat Whisky Baron against the outside rail by just under a half length in a time of 99,76 secs.

It was Aldo Domeyer’s third winner in a row – and a feature double after he had won the fifth and sixth races in the Plattner silks. The always chirpy rider credited his form to his sponsor, Boost – an energy drink.

Marinaresco, who had run such a creditable third in the Gr1 Investec Cape Derby, looks well set for the series and is definitely likely to enjoy the increased test of stamina as the game goes into the next two rounds.

On the flipside, he will be competitive in the SA Champions Season and that may be an option.

But being a Silvano and knowing Mike Bass’s catcha-monkey-slowly style, we would vote for him staying put.

The runner-up Whisky Baron’s stablemate, the errant Vilakazi, came from miles back to clinch third – a great effort considering his antics at the start. PE challenger Fly Like The Wind was 4,25 lengths back in fourth – a stamp of approval of sorts for the Eastern Cape 3yo form.

Like the fillies’ equivalent winner Captain’s Flame, Marinaresco is a 2014 BSA National Yearling Sale graduate.

Bred by Mauritzfontein Stud, he is by Silvano out of the two-time winning Fort Wood mare, Gay Fortuna.

The winner’s older half sister

by Ideal World is a rather modest looking one-time winner.

Marinaresco was purchased

by Mike Bass Racing for R1,3 million and races in the longstanding Shirtliff-Ressell partnership.

Marinaresco has won 2 races with 5 places from his 8 starts and has taken his earnings to R375 075. He also banked the innovative BSA Added Value Stakes Bonus of R87 500.

What a thriller of a race – we look forward to the Winter Classic on 21 May.

Handicapping

18

SPORTING POST • FriDAY 29th APRIL - SunDAY 1st MAY 2016

Where’s The Merit?

The National Horseracing Authority of South Africa announced last week that, following discussions with various parties, it has been agreed that the Handicapping Guidelines should be amended as set out below.

The Announcement...

Then The Background...

Amendments to the Handicapping Guidelines

Bloomberg Clarifies Policy Move

The rating of a 2 year old after winning a maiden race be capped at a maximum rating of a nett MR74 from 1 April to 31 July.

A 3 y.o. maiden winner cannot have a MR of less than a nett 64 provided that the maiden win takes place within the first 8 starts.

Where a 3 y.o. takes longer than this to win its first race, the Handicappers should use their discretion.

Currently, a 3 y.o. maiden winner cannot have a nett rating of more than a nett 78 in a major centre, nett 73 in Port Elizabeth, nett 60 in Kimberley and nett 58 in Zimbabwe. The discretion to vary this in exceptional circumstances no longer applies.

Currently, a 4 y.o. and older maiden winner must be capped at a nett MR of 70 in a major centre, 65 in PE, 60 in Kimberley and 58 in Zimbabwe. The discretion to vary this in exceptional circumstances no longer applies.

The winner of a handicap Listed race is capped at an 8

point penalty (excluding under sufferance and overweight).

The second placed horse in a minor Handicap and Listed race cannot receive more than a 4 point penalty. (excluding under sufferance and overweight).

The line horse should be no further back than 3rd place in all minor Handicap and Listed races.

The Line-horse shall be no further back than the 4th placed horse in all Grade 2 and Grade 3 races.

The winner and placed horses in a Grade 2 or Grade 3 race is capped at a 10 point penalty for the winner, 5 points for 2nd place and 3 points for 3rd place.

The line-horse shall be no further back than 5th place in all Grade 1 events.

Where a horse (especially an older horse) runs out of sync to its normal profile, the Handicappers should rather err on the side of caution and impose half the normal penalty and let the said horse prove the higher rating at its subsequent start. In all Grade 1 Handicap races, the top

weight allocated shall not be more than 60kgs with an 8 kg spread from top to bottom at final acceptance.

In Grade 2 Handicap events the top weight shall not be allocated more than 62kgs, Grade 3 Handicap events 64kgs and Listed Handicap Races 66kgs. In all Graded and Listed races the bottom weight shall be 52kgs at final acceptance.

The following general principle will be followed: Horses not having made the anticipated WFA improvement must be brought back to 50% of its previous highest nett rating within 2 runs.

Horses not having made the anticipated WFA improvements must be brought back to its highest achieved nett rating within 3 runs. The Handicappers could reduce the merit rating a little more slowly where good cause is shown.

These amendments came into effect on Monday, 25 April 2016.

It is a reality that handicapping is a well chewed bone of contention whenever racing people congregate and that fingers have been pointed left, right and centre at the handicappers for many years.

Specialist horseracing Attorney Robert Bloomberg has now provided insight into the process that gave rise to the National Horseracing Authority announcing new handicapping policy guidelines this week.

In an interview with the Sporting Post shortly after the changes were announced, Bloomberg confirmed that he had drafted a proposal document for consideration by the National Horseracing Authority, following a mandate from industry stakeholders.

An NHA sub-committee had considered the proposals and these had been tabled, with implementation due on Monday 25 April.

“Following a vote of no-confidence document signed by numerous trainers, various industry participants, racing operators, the NHA and handicapper Matthew Lips gave input and suggestions to improve the handicapping framework via a heated video conference chaired by Racing

Association CEO Larry Wainstein in early December 2015. I was then subsequently mandated to draft the proposal, which also included new measures to improve the programming of races and to try and make the process more effective in assisting with field sizes,” said Bloomberg.

The operators will apparently be conducting a workshop soon to deal with this aspect.

Bloomberg went on to add that major industry players with intrinsic handicapping and racing knowledge had provided valuable input for the document.

The list includes trainers Mike de Kock, Sean Tarry, Joe Soma, Tony Rivalland, Paul Lafferty, Brett Crawford and Vaughan Marshall, as well as Graeme Hawkins, Jehan Malherbe, Derek Brugman and Justin Vermaak.

“I believe that the racing public and the industry at large needs to understand that we wanted to find a system that worked for the betterment of South African racing. There are no hidden agendas – our aim was always to create the most viable solution and structure in the best interests of the game,” said Bloomberg in closing.

And The Obvious Questions…

Have NHA Lost The Plot?

The latest round of handicapping guidelines make for interesting reading.

The guidelines are to be applied by the official NHA handicappers in their duty to allocate Merit Ratings (MR) to all horses racing in South Africa.

The MR system in itself has a sound base.

It is applied by official handicappers in major international jurisdictions, including Hong Kong, UK, Ireland, France, Singapore.

It is used in the same way by commercial rating agencies, such as Timeform, Racing Post and Sporting Post – whose ratings are calculated using a common method.

Unlike everyone else, the NHA appears to find the accepted system lacking, and has introduced patches to fix it – which are the handicapping guidelines as published.

This begs the question – why?

There is little inherently wrong with the Merit Rating system, as previous research shows What then does the NHA hope to achieve by

applying the new guidelines?

Apparently, the one thing the NHA does not want to see are ‘true’ ratings – the ratings a handicapper will arrive at without outside interference.

So what could the NHA’s objective be?

We’re left in the dark, as this is not part of the guidelines as published.

The amended guidelines are highly complicated, ambiguous, and in part virtually impossible to understand.

What, for instance, is meant by:

The following general principle will be followed: Horses not having made the anticipated WFA improvement must be brought back to 50% of its previous highest nett rating within 2 runs.

Horses not having made the anticipated WFA improvements must be brought back to its highest achieved nett rating within 3 runs.

To the point is the question as to who will administer the guidelines…?

The official handicappers?

How will they cope?

And then there’s the NHA’s own Rule 47.3.

47.3 A RACING OPERATOR may include any of the undermentioned types of RACES in a programme and shall comply with the requirements referred to in this RULE for such RACES:47.3.2 a handicap, which shall be a RACE in which the weights to be carried by the HORSES are allocated by the handicapper for the purpose of equalising their chances of winning

By condoning the use of guidelines to amend Merit Ratings, the NHA is in breach of its own Rule. In addition, by using amended Merit Ratings the Racing Operators will not be in compliance with Rule 47.3.2.

The inescapable conclusion must be that the NHA has lost the plot.

Should we be worried?

A Discerning Eye How to assemble a National Yearling Sale Catalogue

Louis The King wins the Gr1 Sansui Summer Cup

Ever wondered how BSA selects their NYS candidates? We chat to NYS inspection panellist, Kerry Jack to find out.

K

erry joined the selection panel 4 years ago after the TBA approached her to work with John Kramer.

She spent two years working with John and for the past two years has been joined by Cape trainer, Patrick Kruyer.

Process Every year entry forms are sent out for the National Sale.

These need to be returned, along with the requisite nomination fee.

The nomination fee is nonrefundable and the fee for the 2016 sale was R2,500 plus R350 VAT. The closing date for nominations was 6 November 2015.

Then the horses are inspected and there’s an acceptance fee once they get on. This year’s fee was R3,000 plus R420 VAT.

Inspection Panel Kerry explains, “Selection for the National Yearling Sale is done in two main parts.

First there’s the inspection part, where the panel goes out and allocates each horse a score out of 10. This score is purely a physical score and based on the horse’s conformation. Our system is the same one I used with John Kramer.

“An 8 would be your benchmark correct, well grown yearling and then we mark either up and down from there. A 9 would be a particularly nice individual, while a 7 might have some conformation faults.

Anything that scores below 7 comes off and that gets decided straightaway at the farm. At the end of the day, the actual number doesn’t matter all that much as long as you have been consistent across the board, which we try and do. We don’t really give 10s. John used to, but 9.5 is as high as we go.”

Inspection process “Once we have all the nominations, we put a programme together which we email to everyone with dates and times for stud visits.

This year we looked at about 700 horses and it took us most of January. It’s very intense and you do a lot of mileage, but it’s very interesting. You get to catch up with all the breeders and see all the stallions along the way. One also gets a good

overview of the first season sires and gets a feel for them early on as you are seeing good numbers of them in the first year.”

The scoring is a guide, but commercial appeal is also taken into account, so each individual is assessed on its individual merits.

“We have printed inspection forms with each horse’s microchip number and each yearling’s microchip has to be checked. The forms also list the date of birth, which helps us be a bit more forgiving when it comes to late foals, and we also have the sire and dam listed. Then there’s a section for us to fill in our comments. We inspect and discuss each yearling and decide on a score then and there.”

Pedigree panel “Once the horses have all been inspected, the pedigree panel sit and analyse the pedigrees and assigns each horse an individual pedigree score. The pedigree panel consists of Jehan Malherbe, Graeme Hawkins and Rob Knuppe.

“They give each stallion a mark out of 5 and each mare a mark out of 5 to form a total pedigree score out of 10.

Then they add our physical score out of 10, which gives each horse a final mark out of 20. The scoring is a guide, but commercial appeal is also taken into account, so each individual is assessed on its individual merits.”

It must be interesting to see such a broad cross section of the SA foal crop in one concentrated space of time. Are there any standout distinguishing features or peculiarities between different regions?

“The main difference is in the rates of maturity. Some can even vary from farm to farm. Some farms raise their horses rougher than others. After a couple of years, you get used to how different f a r m s do things differently and you assess

them accordingly. At the end of the day, rough or shiny, good conformation is good conformation.”

“It is also interesting to see the differences in how some of them are prepared for inspections. Some look prepped and sale ready at inspection time, while others are still fairly rough, but then look great by the time they arrive at the sales.”

Our job is to get together the best catalogue we possibly can. Anyone should be able to come to Nationals and buy with confidence.

Is it different looking at yearlings with your inspectors hat vs your bloodstock agent hat?

“It is quite a different job inspecting, to buying for a client. As an agent, you might be forgiving on a conformation fault if you feel the horse makes up for it elsewhere, whereas as an inspector, a conformation score is a conformation score and a fault has to be marked down. Fortunately losing a point on the conformation score won’t exclude it if the horse scores highly on the pedigree rating, so it all comes out in the wash.”

Are there ever any difficulties dealing with disappointed breeders if a horse doesn’t get accepted?

“It’s not usually an issue.

Most breeders have a pretty good idea before we get there what will get on and what won’t, but you can’t keep everyone happy. A few will disagree with our decision here and there, but in those cases they can appeal and the panel will re-evaluate the horse. Most of the breeders have been around a long time and they realise we’re part of a team and that our job is to get together the best catalogue we possibly can. Anyone should be able to come to Nationals and buy with confidence. We

do the best we can for the sale and for the breeder.”

Were there any notable stand-outs on this year’s rounds?

“We saw a lot of very nice horses by a lot of different sires, including a number of first season sires, but I can’t say that any one stood out in particular – they seem a pretty solid bunch, although Oratorio and What A Winter have been making their own splash. There are some stand-out pedigrees – it is the National Sale after all – but overall it’s a pretty solid catalogue and I couldn’t pick out any individual specifically, which is good and means it’s a good, solid group,” she says diplomatically.

Any interesting or funny stories from the inspections a-la John Kramer and Tobie Spies’ car being washed over a bridge?

“Fortunately it’s been quite uneventful and we’ve not had too many dramas. We got lost now and then or ran behind schedule – the usual thing.”

Louis the King Kerry has recently been named as the manager for Louis The King’s stud career.

How did that come about?

“It’s a fantastic opportunity and Sorrento Stud and Andrew Bon were both involved.

Andrew is very involved with the launch and working hard on a promotional video and between him and the Andrews’, they suggested that someone should manage Louis and they approached me. I met up with Tiaan van der Vyfer a few weeks ago and am really excited to be part of the team.”

“Louis has a fairy tale story and hopefully that will continue. With stallions noone knows which one will succeed, but he’s got a lot going for him. He’s well bred, he was a top racehorse and a home-grown hero and he’s standing at a very reasonable fee, so there’s every reason he should get good support.”

“The launch was held on Monday, 25 April at the TBA complex. It’s really been

Andrew Bon’s baby and he put together a lovely video to remind everyone what a great racehorse Louis was, with race footage, a few interviews and so on. Louis has been syndicated into 40 shares at R35k per share and we have sold a number of shares already. Each share entitles the holder to send 2 mares for the next 3 years.

“Tiaan and Louis are retaining a few shares and buying mares to support him and for anyone else who is interested he’ll be standing at R10k (R2k nomination fee with R8k on live foal). He’s just been added to the Cape Breeders Club website where breeders can see how their mares match up with him on G1 Goldmine & Truenicks.”

“Louis raced all over the country, he performed against the best, he proved his versatility from 1400 – 2450m over a variety of going, he was 0.75 lengths second to Futura in the Queen’s Plate at WFA and he won the Triple Crown and the Summer Handicap. He’s well made, he’s got an incredible temperament and best of all, he’s a true homebred South African champion.

It takes an exceptional horse to do it. After all, Triple Crown winners are rare for a reason!

“Interestingly, Jet Master, Captain Al and Dynasty, who are all homebred champion sires, all started at very low fees.

Jet Master and Dynasty stood their first seasons at R12k and Captain Al stood for R4k!”

Will you be supporting Abashiri in the Derby?

“Obviously we’d like to be SA’s only living Triple Crown winner, but everyone loves a good horse, so we’ll be cheering on Abashiri next weekend. He looks a real quality sort, but it takes an exceptional horse to do it. After all, Triple Crown winners are rare for a reason!”

Oratorio’s

Military Attack Shines But…

Exchange wagering has been legalized in California, as well

T

Werther trounced what had been billed as the best field ever assembled for the Gr1 Audemars Piguet QEII Cup with a performance at Sha Tin on Sunday that left winning trainer John Moore and jockey Hugh Bowman elated yet surprised at the manner of victory.

he SA-bred Horse Of Fortune failed to fire while Mike de Kock-trained Ertijaal finished downfield.

For SA racing fans, the run of the evergreen former Hong Kong Horse Of The Year Military Attack – the 2013 winner of this race – was an exciting one.

Now rising 8, the son of Avontuur stallion Oratorio ran on strongly for second – highlighting the heart, durability and toughness of the internationally proven sire’s progeny.

There are 15 of his progeny available on the National Yearling Sale this week.

Spectacle The race was a thrilling spectacle as Werther, last month’s Gr1 BMW Hong Kong Derby winner powered away from world-class rivals to clinch a first international Gr1 triumph in the HK$20 million 2000m showcase, stretching four and a half-lengths clear on the rain-softened ground, a margin of success second only to Quicken Away’s seven-

length demolition back in the pre-Pattern race days of 1990.

“I was never expecting that,” said a beaming Moore.

“We did know he handled the heavy track in New Zealand and that it wouldn’t be a problem today – but that was beyond my expectations.”

Bowman said: “I had a suspicion after the Derby we would see a better horse against better opposition but I certainly didn’t expect him to perform to the level he did this afternoon.”

International Targets Moore is now eyeing further Gr1 targets at home and abroad.

“Next we’ll go to the Champions & Chater Cup over a mile and a half here in a month’s time and Hugh will be back to ride him,” he said, adding with a hopeful smile and raised eyebrows, “then we’ll give him a break and I’ll be trying to pull the owner’s leg to go back to Australia for the Cox Plate!”

“He’d drawn the gun gate (5) today and he’s got gate

speed, he can be up there, but when there was a charge of the Light Brigade early on, Hugh just said ‘well fellas, go!’ There were five or six of them that just wanted to be in the same place so he got the gun run in behind,” said Moore.

The early pace and a subsequent solid tempo played into Werther’s hands with the going rated officially yielding.

The Tavistock four-year-old had already won a 2100m Gr2 contest on heavy ground in his homeland and placed second in a soft ground Gr1 South Australian Derby (2500m).

“What I loved was the consistent speed,” said Bowman.

“We’ve seen before in Hong Kong the pressure early but then the pace comes off, but when that speed was sustained throughout it allowed me to give him every chance to be in a great rhythm throughout.

“We’ve gone a good gallop, but that’s what happens when you get a world class field. I basically picked them off. I

Bankin� O� Royalt� Britain’s longest-serving monarch celebrated her 90th birthday last Thursday and in great news for racing it has been announced that she will present the Investec Derby trophy to the winning connections of the 2016 Investec Derby on Saturday, June 4.

THIS will be the first time during her reign that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has presented this prestigious trophy.

This year also sees two changes to the usual order of running at the two-day Investec Derby Festival with the Listed Investec Woodcote Stakes moving to become the curtain raiser on Investec Ladies’ Day on Friday, June 3.

This year the race has a £10,000 increase in the prize fund (to £50,000), an injection designed to attract even more runners of Listed quality.

The Group Three Princess Elizabeth Stakes (sponsored by Investec) moves from its normal Friday position to become Investec Derby Day’s second race.

The Princess Elizabeth Stakes is named in honour of Her Majesty The Queen and was

first run at Epsom Downs in 1947 at the Spring Meeting. Additionally, the Group One Coronation Cup, worth a record £400,000, will be re-named for this year as the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Cup (sponsored by Investec) in celebration of Her Majesty The Queen’s 90th birthday, which is tomorrow.

Simon Durrant, General Manager, Epsom Downs Racecourse, said: “There are 43 days until the start of the Investec Derby Festival and ticket sales are going incredibly well, with hospitality sales at a record level.

“This year for the first time, Her Majesty will present the Investec Derby Trophy. Ten of our local choirs, around Epsom and Ewell, are joining us to sing the National Anthem to The Queen on her arrival on Derby Day. Racegoers on course will be encouraged to join in.”

was able to get on the back of Lovely Day, although I had to go back to the inside to do that, I felt I was travelling well enough to follow the rhythm wherever that was. He was certainly breathtaking when he went to the front.”

Heavy Rain When Blake Shinn drove Helene Happy Star to the fore on the turn for home, most eyes were on race-favourite Lovely Day cruising through an inside run under Joao Moreira.

The Yasutoshi Ikee-trained six-year-old led at the 400m mark but the dual G1 winner toiled when asked to quicken, unable to stretch out on the rain-eased ground, all at sea as he drifted towards centre track.

Werther had no such issues. Bowman tracked Moreira’s move, loomed upsides at the 300m and pressed the button.

The response was sensational. Werther accelerated emphatically and passed the winning post in isolation, stopping the clock inside standard at 2m 01.32s.

“The reason you haven’t seen that turn of foot is because I’ve been riding him more tactically aware. I’ve had him up close; I’ve had him travelling a bit stronger than I did today. Today I allowed him to really relax throughout the race and we’ve seen the best of him.”

Heavy rain fell at intervals throughout the day but the prospect of world class horse racing drew a crowd of 32,788.

Officials of Betfair and Monmouth Park announced yesterday in a joint press conference at the Meadowlands that exchange wagering will begin May 10 in New Jersey, writes Bill Finley.

etfair, popular in many parts of the rest of the world, will be accepting its first-ever U.S. customers when launching next month.

New Jersey is the only state that has officially approved the form of wagering and only residents of the state will be allowed to wager.

“We’ve been actively engaged in trying to bring to our consumers new ways to be entertained,” said Dennis Drazin, the president of Darby Development, which manages Monmouth Park. “We’ve been a leader in sports betting, been a leader in many other areas, and we believe exchange wagering is huge for our future. We want the fan who wants to come in and have a different, fun experience.

That’s the goal here, to try to offer our consumers other opportunities besides the traditional pari-mutuel bet. This is entertainment.”

Betfair, which is the firm that created the concept of exchange wagering and remains the leader in the industry, has long sought a foothold in the U.S. market.

The hope is that U.S. gamblers will gravitate to exchange wagering with the same enthusiasm that British punters have.

In exchange wagering, bets are matched between players who want to bet on a horse and those who are willing to book or lay the bet at a certain price.

Betfair takes a commission on winning wagers.

Leaders in the English racing industry have often complained that Betfair has cannibalized more traditional forms of betting while returning only a minute percentage of its revenues to the sport and purses. Elsewhere in the world, Betfair customers are charged a commission ranging from 2% to 5%. Realizing that the U.S. racing industry would never get behind exchange wagering unless it felt it was being fairly compensated, Betfair will pay tracks here commissions more in line with what ADWs, tracks and OTBs pay in simulcasting fees. In order to do that, Betfair will charge U.S. customers a 12% commission.

“I think we struck the right balance,” Betfair US CEO Kip Levin said of the 12% take and the need to compensate the tracks.

Monmouth does not open its 2016 meet until May 14, four days after the Betfair launch.

However, New Jersey customers will be able to bet not only on Monmouth but any one of a number of U.S. tracks that Betfair has a contract with. The U.S. bets will be commingled with wagers made in the rest of the world.

Exchange customers will also be able to place bets “in running,” a concept pioneered

by Betfair. During in-running wagering, betting does not close until the horses have crossed the wire, giving customers a chance to bet on horses that appear to be in a position to win or bet against horses that seem to be struggling.

“If you can play while a race is going on your attention is much more focused on what’s going on during the race,” Drazin said. “With the typical player, you make a bet, it’s over. If doing the in-play, there’s excitement the whole way. I think people will be motivated to try this.”

Monmouth and Betfair are banking on the hope that exchange wagering will not cannibalize existing handle in any significant way and will also introduce a entirely new type of customer to horse racing. Studies done by Betfair show that the average of an ADW customer in New Jersey is 60, while the average age of a Betfair player is in his/her late 30’s. Betfair also appeals to people who like to play the stock market, particularly those who enjoy arbitraging.

Many Betfair customers aren’t looking for the best horse, but inefficiencies in the odds and the market they can exploit by arbitraging.

The bottom line, Drazin, said is that Betfair should increase overall revenue for Monmouth.

“This will increase our ability to up the handle,” he said.

“They’ll have short fields in Europe with 1-5 shots and on Betfair those races are generating 30-plus million in handle on a race. As time goes on, I believe this is going to catch fire and our country is going to look at wagering in a new way. I think we can grow handle over all and there will be a younger generation that will be exposed to a wagering format that is more exciting.”

Exchange wagering has been legalized in California, as well. But efforts to get it off the ground there have stalled.

Betfair officials are hoping that the experiment is so successful in New Jersey that other states that have racing will want to embrace the concept.

“We’ve been focused on New Jersey,” Levin said.

“It is a great launch place.

Because we operate the 4njbets.com ADW we can truly look at the data and get a precise feel for the impact on the business in New Jersey.

I think we can then take this to rest of the industry. This is going to make for a great test case. We are hopeful we will get there in California shortly and that other states will take a look at what’s happening here and want to be involved, as well.” www.thoroughbreddailynews.com

Ormond Ferraris

Ormond Ferraris is a South African racing institution.

He first took out his licence in 1952, meaning training winners has been his business for a remarkable sixtyfour years.

He holds a record of ten SA Oaks and eight SA Derbies, he has twice been SA champion trainer, he won the 1994 Summer Cup with Sizzling Sun, ran 2nd in one of the most controversial Durban Julys with Distinctly in 1975 and trained 2013 Triple Tiara winner, Cherry On The Top. On 12 March 2016 Mr Ferraris celebrated a milestone 2,500th career winner when Romany Prince won the Listed Drum Star Handicap, two weeks before his birthday. He has done sterling work on the Trainers Benevolent Fund, he is respected as a horseman and also as someone who is not afraid to speak his mind on industry matters.

At 84, he is as fastidious, clear minded and direct as ever. We meet the man behind the formidable reputation.

“There aren’t too many owners out there. The poor man is gone, the middle man is dying away, leaving you with just the millionaires and billionaires. If you don’t train for them, it’s very hard.” So opines Ormond Ferraris ahead of the 2016 National Yearling Sale. “Racing has changed, but I’m afraid to say not for the better. In the old days, if you went to the Summer Handicap, it was chock-a-block.

If you weren’t quick to get a pozzie, end to end the stand was totally full.

Now you can count the number of people. Our

racecourses are like morgues and there are just a handful of big owners left – I guess they’ll have to keep it going.”

The tone is one of resignation and coming from someone with 60 years of watching the ebb and flow of the local industry, it makes for sober listening. Economical with his words and frank in his opinions, Ferraris’ manner is gracious and thoughtful nonetheless.

He speaks softly but firmly, recalling dates and events like they happened yesterday.

Ormond Arthur Ferraris was born in the Free State town of Heilbron on 31 March 1932.

“I grew up in the South of Johannesburg with stables all around the area. I attended school with a friend whose parents owned a farm in Lambton, Germiston. I rode horses on the farm and that is where my interest and love for horses began.” His uncle, Arthur Victor was a jockey, but it is mainly thanks to his mother’s friendship with the wife of local trainer, George Weale that young Ormond found his way into racing. “He trained for all those greats of the turf -- Sir Abe Bailey, Solly Joel, the Hon Hugh Wyndham and Norbert Erleigh - yet was a very ordinary man and had no airs or graces. A thorough gentleman. I wanted to become a jockey, but George felt I was too tall and heavy.

He then offered that I could become his assistant.”

Ferraris was 17 years old when he became Weale’s licensed assistant and worked under him for four years before striking out on his own, but the old school

discipline is still in evidence.

“I like to see very nice, clean boxes, plenty bedding and have the surroundings very clean. In the old days grooms took pride in their work, but like so much else, it’s just a job these days.”

Starting Out “When I started training we had courses in Auckland Park, Benoni, Germiston, Newmarket, Turffontein, Bloemfontein and the Vaal.

Newmarket and Turffontein were the most testing courses.

I trained from Stanton Street in Turffontein with 8 stables (these stables are still standing today). I later moved to the Lindberghs’ property on Holt Street in Forest Hill - it was a 10 acre property with a house and 15 boxes. I paid 7 pound 5 shillings a month rent.”

“I then built my own stables at Newmarket. It consisted of a house and 30 boxes. These were next to Mr Passmore and G Azzie. After selling the Newmarket stables, I moved to Turffontein Racecourse and was given 60 boxes in 1980, which I still train from.”

“My first winner as a Registered Trainer was Shenandoah on 14 August 1954, ridden by G Masterson and owned by my first patron, Attorney Moodie of Moodie and Robertson, attorneys for Johannesburg City Council.”

Patrons “When I lost my wife, Graham Beck phoned me up and gave me quite a few imported horses, but before that I hadn’t trained for any of these millionaires – I just trained for ordinary people.

I have trained for Peter Dimakogiannis for 40 odd years. Other loyal patrons have been Ronnie Burg, Larry Nestadt, Colin Hyams and Harry Izikowitz.

“Others have passed away.

I trained for Paddy Hinton for 25 years. We had great fun racing together and major successes. He was very lucky, but he left everything to me.

I picked the horses I liked and trained them the way I wanted.”

A notable Hinton horse was Tracy’s Element. “When we got the Australian sale catalogue, it had the first crop of Last Tycoons. I liked his bloodlines so much and said we must try and get one of them. It was a long trip to Australia and when we got there Hinton said he was going to rest. I said I could never rest in the day and went to look at the horses. She was in the first line of horses

I walked through. What was so good about her is that she won Gr1 races here and then went to stud in Australia and threw Group 1 winners.

Unbelievable.”

Another standout filly is Triple Tiara winner, Cherry On The Top. “When Mauritzfontein’s previous stud manager left, they were looking for a replacement. I recommended Guy Murdoch and he’s done very well for them. In appreciation for getting them Guy, Mrs Oppenheimer gave me Cherry On The Top and Erin, but they were the first horses I trained for them.

Wish it had been 20 years ago!” Racing fans will also associate him with names such as Pretty Border, St Just, Distinctly, Black Bishop, Overarching, Silver Point, Travel North and Fine Regent, who won the Newmarket Triple Crown. “He was a Del Sarto. I bought him at the Cape Sale for R60k. I didn’t go for very expensive horses - there seems to be a mock on them and they don’t do too well,” he says. “I’ve had some great horses – it’s hard to single one out.”

What’s his secret to picking horses?

“It is difficult to say what makes a great horse, but I do believe a horse with a great heart and a will to win.” He is a firm believer in the pedigree page. “Mrs Lindbergh always said ‘Blood will tell’. I lean towards speed stallions – we have enough stamina in our dams - but the most important thing to look at is a horse with good straight legs.”

“I’m actually a Karoo man.

If you take a glass of water and leave it overnight, you won’t believe the sediment of lime. All the Karoo farms are like that. It’s got to make for strong bones. The climate warrants it too – it’s very hot in summer and very cold in winter.”

Career Highs “I like the SA Derby and the SA Oaks. I’ve had 5 winners on a day six times – I think that’s satisfying. Once you’ve picked the horse, and bought it yourself, trained it and it wins a big race, I think that’s the satisfying part. When you’ve picked it yourself and haven’t bought a readymade horse, you’ve achieved something.”

Distinctly got beaten in the July, I should have won by lengths. Van Booma had to stop riding the horse due to interference from Gatecrasher.

Gatecrasher won, but was relegated to third place and Principal Boy, who was racing on the inside on its own, won by a head.”

“We planned everything to perfection. We flew the horse there as well – and it wasn’t cheap in those days – they were still experimenting. It was quite a thing to pull the float into the airplane. The noise! But nothing worried him. He was a great little horse. Fearless. It was so sad to lose that race like that.” He tells the tale matter-of-factly, but it is clear the experience still rankles, even 4 decades later.

Benevolent Fund An initiative very close to his heart is the Benevolent Fund. “I’ve been a longstanding member of the Owners & Trainers Association and was the chairman at one time. Now they’ve split it, which I think wasn’t a good thing. However, the RA is now the owners. There’s no more Trainers organisation – it fell away – but currently I chair the Owners and Trainers Benevolent Fund. I’ve seen a lot of old trainers end up with nothing and this fund is very dear to me as I feel that most of the dependents have been left with very little. I see how they battle and therefore try and help as much as I can to assist them financially.

The Benevolent Funds gets a certain amount per a race from Phumelela and 5% of noms / acceptance fees from the RA, which helps immensely.”

Retirement?

Mr Ferraris almost retired in the mid-90’s, taking out an owner/trainer permit and handing over his string to his son David. However, shortly afterwards David received an offer to train in Hong Kong. “I said if you don’t take that you must be stone crazy. He took it, I took back the yard and have been here since. That was 13 years ago now.

Lows

Although he recently cut his string down to 40, Ferraris has no plans to retire any time soon. Things are so expensive and to make things pay these days is very difficult.

But I don’t know what I’d do if I stopped tomorrow. I’ve thought about it hard, and I really don’t know. I think I’d be dead in a day.”

Asked to name his biggest disappointment, he chooses the 1975 July. “When

But what is it that keeps him going? “The love of the horse.”

Not Funny

The issues with the Saftote website are reaching comical proportions and a day does not pass without a complaint being received about the on-line betting platform. Over six months we have religiously reported problems – on Sunday we were again inundated by angry punters who had missed exotic bets.

Consider the time and effort expended by punters, buying publications and spending hours studying form – only to see their hopes go up in smoke. Phumelela Executive Vee Moodley, apologised to punters and said that he was investigating the issue. But at this point in time, it really looks bleak for anybody hoping to bet online with Saftote on Champions Day.

We were thrilled to hear that jockey Craig Zackey was only bruised after his accident on Friday evening. He was driving home to Brakpan from OR Tambo Airport after flying back from Port Elizabeth, when a truck turned into his lane.

“I tried missing him but caught him and, yeah, rolled for 0.5km. Lord, thank you so much for giving me another chance in life,” he said on his Facebook page. The distance of the roll and the pic of the destroyed once shiny BMW that he received on his 21s birthday a fortnight earlier spoke of high speed.We hope he learns a lesson.

Richard Johnson has become the first man to be crowned jump racing’s champion jockey after the AP McCoy era, ending a 20-year wait for the title. Johnson, 38, rode Menorah to victory in the Oaksey Chase at Sandown, his 235th win of the season.

Closest rival Aidan Coleman finished second on 130 wins.

“It’s always been my dream,” said Johnson. “There’s no feeling like it.” McCoy was champion jockey for 20 years in a row from 1996 to 2015, with Johnson runner-up 16 times.

Tactically aware and showing supreme confidence in his decision-making, Hugh Bowman’s display on Werther in Sunday’s Audemars Piguet QE II Cup was just the latest in a series of brilliant big race rides by the 35-year-old this season.

The Australian rider is at his best currently - confident, tactically smart and fearless. However you want to describe it, Bowman seems a jockey at the peak of his powers right now and has a knack of producing his best on the biggest stages. He is off to do a stint in Japan.

Cox On Speed On Sunday A Plate Trainer John Moore’s thirst for a major in Australia remains unquenched and he placed the Cox Plate in Melbourne on Werther’s agenda after the Derby winner dismantled an outstanding Audemars Piguet QE II Cup field on Sunday.

Once the annual graveyard of Hong Kong Derby winners, the QE II has been the running double only for the best of the classic winners - Vengeance Of Rain, Ambitious Dragon and Designs On Rome - but none of them won it like Werther.

The “Aussies breed the world’s best sprinters” crowing probably started in 2003 when Choisir took Royal Ascot apart with back-to-back feature sprint wins on the first and last day of the world’s premier race meeting.

Buffering beats some of the world’s best sprinters in the Al Quoz Sprint in Dubai last start. He lines up in the Chairman’s Sprint Prize on Sunday.

The blockbuster clash between Australian-trained stars Chautauqua and Buffering is being billed as a head-to-head clash on neutral ground for the title of World’s Best Sprinter (#WBS), an imaginary title belt that usually gets passed around between winners of the 350 or so Australian black-type sprints.

DEPUTY DOING IT The arrival of former Summerhill stallion Visionaire at Lammerskraal has happened in a big week for his new neighbour, the red hot sire Go Deputy, who added yet another feature win to his growing tally when his son Welsh Emperor justified favouritism in Friday’s Derby Plate. The Ascot Stud bred gelding, a R340 000 buy from the 2014 Emperors Palace National Yearling Sale, stamped his East Cape Derby claims. Go Deputy stands on the brink of two Triple Crown triumphs – Abashiri on Saturday and then Gogetthesheriff in the E Cape Poly equivalent. That must be something of a record.

60 UP?

There are few secrets in racing and our scouts report that Mary and Jessica Slack hosted a birthday bash in Joburg on Monday evening for the older of the two Cape commentators. Our process of elimination (Rouvaun Smit is a youngster) suggests it was Jehan Malherbe who has been the senior commentator at all Cape racetracks for 30 years.

A figure of 60 was being bandied about - but it could be much higher we are told.

Try Again

Mike de Kock’s attempt to win the Gr1 Audemars Piguet QEII Cup for the third time – he won with Irridescence (2006) and Archipenko (2008) - came unstuck with Investec Cape Derby winner Ertijaal failing to fire when it counted.

The chestnut had progressed into fourth with about 300m to run, but he faded out late after having to “do a ton of work early”, in the words of the race caller.

Ertijaal was slow away and was pushed into contention from a wide draw. Besides that, he appeared uncomfortable on the wet track. “Not much went right for Ertijaal and he didn’t quite handle the going,” reported jockey Douglas Whyte.

The Farewell

The Welcome

Summerhill Bids Champion Freshman Sire Farewell

‘Not an unusual phenomenon’ says Barry Irwin

I’ve had to make some hard decisions in my life, one of which was buying Summerhill in the days when I was penniless, the other exchanging our family home in Hillcrest for Hartford at a precarious time in South Africa’s political history and giving up a rewarding life in law.

There have been many others, but the most painful of all was letting Visionaire go on the weekend, writes Mick Goss.

“The opportunity to acquire a substantial stake in VISIONAIRE (USA) South Africa’s Champion Freshman Sire 2015, was something we could not overlook” says Lammerskraal Stud’s owner Pieter Graaff.

H

e is not only our and the province’s flagship stallion, but he’s a lovable character to whom every last soul on the farm has an attachment.

Our difficulty lay in the fact that we owned 50% of the stallion, and ever since we upped our stake to that level in October last year, Team Valor have been talking about the possibility of moving him to the Cape.

There was a time in January when I was preparing to leave for India to present South Africa’s case for the normalisation of our international protocol arrangements, when we had managed to assemble enough money to buy Team Valor out, but as most people know, I fell ill before I returned, and I remain under doctor’s “house arrest” at home to this day.

The deal became richer and richer, particularly after Heaps Of Fun’s fine victory in the Gauteng Fillies’ Guineas, and I was beginning to wonder whether we could afford to stand our ground.

The worst time to decide whether to buy or sell in any circumstance, is when you’re not well, and so we sought the counsel of some of the people whose wisdom and judgment we respect and whose objectivity we could depend on, remembering that confidentiality had to be observed at all costs.

In the end, we are not dealing with Ferraris on which you can count to go from 0 to 100km in 5 seconds; we are dealing with flesh and blood which apart from the sentimental aspect, is so difficult to predict.

Clearly, the people behind the offer must believe he could be the

successor to horses like Captain Al, Var etc, which of course he might well be.

On the other hand, at the price and at his current service fee, it would take at least 7 years for us to recover the capital cost in KZN, by which time he would be 18.

While there was a limitation on his movement in our founding agreement with Mr Irwin, he made a generous accommodation which eventually settled the deal.

That of course, does not appease anyone here as far as losing the stallion is concerned, nor anyone in the province who has been a supporter in the past. Putting my pen to the contract on the weekend felt like an act of treason, and it was one of the most difficult things I have ever had to do.

There is a view that he may get a better spread of mares in the Western Cape, and while that may be true, we shouldn’t forget that those he served here have delivered nine consecutive breeders’ championships, as well as those horses that have already represented him with distinction, including delivering the title of Champion Freshman sire last year; all of his Black-type runners to date were bred and raised at Summerhill and anyone who saw Vilakazi’s run on Saturday has to believe he is another Group horse in the making.

That said, he couldn’t be going to a better home in the Wes-tern Cape than Lammerskraal, who are obviously looking for a substitute for their grand stallion Western Winter, and are possessed of some of the nation’s finest bloodlines.

I have spoken with Pieter Graaff and I have told him as much, and nothing would please us more than to see Visionaire go on to bigger

and better things in the years ahead.

Besides his current juveniles, he still has three crops to come from Summerhill and KZN. If you’re not an optimist in this game, you shouldn’t be in it.

Summerhill has recovered from bigger setbacks than this, including the loss of several stallions in their prime.

The answer appears to lie in the selection process and the depth of your stallion band, and we have been fortunate enough to get out of jail on each occasion; only time will tell whether we can perform the “Houdini” once again.

Of course, you’d not expect us to be sitting on our laurels, and we already have several other irons in the fire.

H

e was an outstanding racehorse in USA, a Group 1 winner at Saratoga, and is already a proven sire, who has commenced his career in a style of brilliance which promises to blossom into something special.”

The same might be said of Pieter Graaff’s entry into breeding since acquiring the famed Ceres nursery of Lammerskraal Stud in 2015. The farm has ridden on the crest of the breeding wave in 2016 as breeders of the best young horse in the land, Abashiri, winner of the first two legs of the Triple Crown and poised to join the giants of the turf as favourite to win the South African Derby Gr1 and to become only the third horse in history to sweep the series.

It would be a landmark achievement and round off a remarkable week, in which a proven first crop champion stallion, is added to resident stallion barn which currently houses Abashiri’s sire Go Deputy (USA) and the retired Parade Leader (USA).

“What made Visionaire so attractive”, says longstanding farm manager Sally Jourdan, “is that he is a grandson of Gone West, who was the sire of our foundation sire Western Winter, who served our farm through

4 Championship Sire titles, and whose last crop is on sale this year. It is a bloodline I know so well and trust implicitly. Visionaire, with his size, quality, correctness and speed, will suit the families we have on the farm and the new young stakes winning mares which Pieter and Jolanda Graaff have been acquiring”.

Visionaire’s transfer from the base of Champion Breeders Summerhill Stud to the Western Cape, is tinged with some sadness for the transfer of the successful stallion, who sired 2016 Gauteng Fillies Guineas winner Heaps of Fun as a member of his first crop.

It is no secret that Mick Goss was reluctant to part with his shareholding and it was weight of money that told in the end.

“I keep the bulk of my mares in the Western Cape,” says co-owner Barry Irwin.

I am grateful for everything that Summerhill did for Visionaire, which Team Valor raced and supported throughout his career. My first responsibility is to do what’s best for the horse and my syndicate, and Mick has long been aware that I felt that the bigger breeding province of the Western Cape with its numerical depth and quality of mares, would do justice for the horse.

“Since we commenced in South Africa, we have steadfastly developed our band of 25 mares, mostly Graded Stakes Winners and they are located in the Cape in order to access the array of the most proven sires. I brought Visionaire to South Africa to consistently imprint the strength and substance of American speed and ensure delivery of correctness to my produce”.

“The move is sad for Mick, but not an unusual phenomenon – we saw a similar move in South Africa with Champion Sire Jungle Cove to the Cape, and Foveros from the Cape to KZN. In America, Mr Prospector moved from Florida to Kentucky in order to expand his opportunity.”

“I am pleased that we reached a gentleman’s accommodation which allowed Mick to continue with an interest in the horse and I am delighted to meet and work with Pieter Graaff and his professional team at Lammerskraal.” The 2016 Stud fee has yet to be set, but there is little doubt that it will be higher than in 2015.

40 Years On THE colourful and fascinating mini-magazine includes short articles, tributes, anecdotes and photos focussing on some of the highlights of the last four decades of chasing the dream in the sales ring.

Seasoned journalist Charl Pretorius compiled the material for the TBA. “There are some amazing stories in here, plenty to remember, lots to laugh at and it features tales by or about racing personalities from Syd Birch to Syd Laird to Mary Slack, John Kramer, Paul Lafferty, Graham Beck and plenty more. It will be available at the TBA Complex from the middle of next week, also I am told at the Maslow Hotel where some of the TBA’s guests are staying ,” said Pretorius.

A souvenir booklet commemorating the TBA’s 40 years of business at the Gosforth Park Sales complex which opened in 1977 will be available from Wednesday at the opening of the 2016 National Yearling Sale.

Brothers Birch One of the fascinating recollections is that of the name Birch, synonymous with arguably the greatest era in South Africa’s breeding history – a time when true legends like Sea Cottage, Colorado King, later the mighty Wolf Power and even later Royal Chalice ruled the turf.

The mentioned runners were all bred and raised by the Brothers Birch at Vogel Vlei Stud in Dordrecht, Eastern Cape. They were multiple champion breeders of multiple

Grade 1 winners and dozens of champions in a legacy of Birches that started way back when, just after the turn of the 19th century with transport horse breeder EV Birch, continued through World War II with his sons Sydney, Walter and Ted, and then into the 1960s and 1970s with Bob, Chris and Richard at the helm.

Birch Bros stood stallion Fairthorn (the sire of Sea Cottage), and most notably the champion sire Plum Bold (USA), later Sea Cottage himself, but the family diversified and as a breeding operation they never

reached their spectacular heights again, nearing the turn of the 20th century.

After all the years, Bob’s son Syd (63) still farms at Vogel Vlei Stud along with his son Colin (33).

The glory days seem so long gone, but father and son have set their sights on getting back into the winner’s circle.

They have five yearlings at the 2016 National Yearling Sale and Syd tells: “We have lit the fires again. Colin is young and passionate about horses, he’s a talented guy and we’d like to breed Gr1 winners once more!”

Dream A Dream They know that their dream won’t be easily realisable, but they’re open-minded all the same and Syd comments: “We don’t have a stallion, you can’t have one when there are no mares in the area to support you. But we’ve built our own band of broodmares back to 40 and some of them hail from

the old, potent Drohsky line.

We’re planning our matings and floating them in and out to our stallions of choice.

“As an area, Dordrecht still lends itself to good farming stock, including cattle and racehorses. They grow up tough here, like they used to, and there is no reason why our thoroughbreds won’t be able to run like they used to!”

Triple Crown Success

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

Racing Alone

Sheriff In Command

Scottsville 17th April Five of the nine races in Pietermaritzburg on Sunday were run over 1400m and the fastest of these was the first division of the MR70 Handicap won by the visiting GAMBOL. Soon up handy, the son of Stronghold raced prominent throughout. He was ridden to lead as they approached the 200m marker and comfortably accounted for ROY’S AMBASSADOR by two. Poorly drawn PYRENEES IN SPAIN ran on from the rear to fill third position in this race.

The faster of the two maiden juvenile events over the distance was the girls’ affair won by FINAL JUDGEMENT. Sent off a strong favourite at 11/10, Glen Kotzen’s charge made all. She was always clear and won without any anxious moments from DAWN CALLING. Quickest home in the two 1200m races was EXELERO when registering his sixth career victory in the pinnacle stakes. Another to make all, Vaughan Marshall’s charge raced alone on the outside and won comfortably by a length and a quarter.

TITBITS The 4yo ROY’S TWILIGHT completed a hat-trick when winning the MR65 Handicap over 1400m.

After racing handy, POIVRE won the second division of the MR70 Handicap over 1400m going away.

Fairview 18th April They raced on the poly track on Monday where the highlight was the second leg of the non-black type East Cape Poly Challenge in which the winner of the first leg over 1200m GOGETTHESHERIFF kept himself in line for a very healthy bonus. Never the quickest into stride, the top weighted son of Go Deputy was as per usual positioned in the rear early on. In command of a very nice turn of foot though, Jacque Strydom’s charge quickened in good style at the top of the home straight and won going away by a length after striking the front 60m or so from home.

Two of the afternoon’s eight races were run over 1900m and surprisingly the faster of these was the MR64 Handicap won by BIG BUCKS. Allowed to ease a little on course out to 7/1 from 5’s, Alan Greeff’s charge was soon in touch with the leaders. She took up the running going through the 200m and went on to score by a length and three quarters with some in hand.

The only other distance to feature more than one event was 1000m where the faster of the two races was the MR68 Handicap won by WOLVERINA. Always top of the boards in what looked to be a very competitive affair (5/1 into 7/2), Corne Spies’ charge was soon positioned close to the speed. She put her head in front at the 100m pole and with the rest some four lengths adrift, she kept on strongly late to beat the pacemaker PIPETTE by a half. Although never a threat to the winner, third placed BROOKE’S MONTANA made up many lengths from the rear to fill third position in this race.

He was ridden to lead shortly after passing the 300m marker and with the rest well beaten he comfortably accounted for TIGER’S LEGACY by a length and a quarter.

A MR89 Handicap over 1450m topped the bill and in what proved to be the faster of the two events over the distance FIRSTIMESACHARM registered her third career victory.

Always likely to be suited by the inner track, the front running daughter of Antonius Pius was soon at the head of affairs. She kept up a healthy gallop throughout and just held on from the always handy MISS TWEEDY by a neck.

Three of the four races on the turf were staged over 1600m and by far the quickest of these was the boy’s division of the progress plate won by BROOKLYN BRAWLER. Nicely positioned in fourth turning for home, the improving son of Dynasty struck the front 300m from home and despite hanging badly at one stage won with authority by two and a half.

Classic Hopes W

The first two British classics of 2016, the Qipco 2000 Guineas and 1000 Guineas, are scheduled to be run at Newmarket on 30 April and 1 May respectively, writes Sarah Whitelaw.

on last year by Gleneagles and Legatissimo, they will see this year another crop of classically bred sophomores line up in the 1600m classics.

Among the leading 2000 Guineas hopes are:

Air Force Blue

3 c War Front – Chatham

The Cartier Champion 2YO Colt of 2015, Air Force Blue has won all but one of his races.

His sire, War Front, is one of the hottest and best sires in the world at the moment –his 40 odd stakes winners already include 12 G1 winners, and the son of Danzig is currently siring an impressive eight percent stakes winners to foals.

Out of a stakes placed mare by former US Champion, Maria’s Mon, (sire of 2 Kentucky Derby winners), Air Force Blue hails from the family of US champion 2yo filly, Flanders, and the latter’s champion daughter, Surfside (by Seattle Slew).

Stormy Antarctic

3 c Stormy Atlantic –Bea Remembered One of over 160 stakes horses sired by Storm Cat’s stakes winning son, Stormy Atlantic, (who is from the same family as Sadler’s Wells and Nureyev), Gr3 Craven Stakes winner, Stormy Antarctic, is out of Bea Remembered, a Gr3 placed daughter of King George winner, Doyen (by Sadler’s Wells). He is bidding to give his sire, a former champion 2yo sire in the US, his first British Group One winner.

Buratino

3 c Exceed And Excel – Bergamask Buratino bids to give former champion Australian sire, Exceed And Excel, (Danehill) his first British classic winner. Winner of the Gr2 Coventry Stakes last year (when beating Air Force Blue), the colt is out of the stakes placed Bergamask, whose sire, Kingmambo, sired past 2000 Guineas winners, King’s Best and Henrythenavigator. This is the family of dual Gr1 winning champion sire, Danehill Dancer, who shares his sire with Exceed And Excel.

Three Runners – Three Winners

Dazzling Dynasty Highlands Farm’s resident sire Dynasty had an impressive treble of winners at last week’s Greyville Wednesday meeting. Remarkably, Miss Minver, Brooklyn Brawler and Secret Seven were Dynasty’s only three runners on the card, and they gave their outstanding sire a 100% strike rate of winners to runners on the day.

THE Horse Of The Year’s 2yo daughter, Dean Kannemeyertrained Miss Minver, had run on strongly for second on debut and she duly went one better on Wednesday, when comfortably landing a maiden juvenile plate for fillies over 1200m by a length.

A R500 000 purchase from last year’s National Sale, the filly (who is out of Listed East Coast Handicap winner Polzeath) is now likely to be aimed at some of KZN’s juvenile feature races.

In winning the first of Wednesday’s eight races, Miss Minver got Dynasty off to the perfect start at the mid-week meeting. The former Horse Of The Year’s progeny continued to excel, with his promising 3yos Brooklyn Brawler and Secret Seven, landing races six and seven respectively.

Justin Snaith, one of Dynasty’s biggest fans, trains both Brooklyn Brawler and Secret Seven.

Bred by the Gary Player Stud Farm, Brooklyn Brawler made it three wins from his last four outings –when capturing a progress plate for 3yos over 1600m.

The gelding’s effortless two and a half length win was all the more impressive as he was hanging over the closing stages.

The classy looking Brooklyn Brawler (a R625 000 buy from the 2014 Cape Premier Yearling Sale), is out of the three time winning Western Winter mare, Frostbite.

The third Dynasty to win on Wednesday was the Highlands Farm bred Secret Seven, who dug down deep to record her third career win over 1600m.

The consistent 3yo filly has now

won or placed in six of only eight outings and looks sure to win more races.

One of South Africa’s elite stallions, Dynasty’s 16 individual Gr1 horses include 3 sons who were named Horse Of The Year – Futura, Irish Flame and Legislate.

The great son of Fort Wood has a stellar draft of 14 lots on this week’s National Yearling Sale including a full sister to July winner and Horse Of The Year Legislate (Lot 33), a colt out of Silvano’s Summer Cup winning daughter Flirtation (Lot 96), a half brother to Gr1 Summer Cup hero Master Sabina (Lot 305), and a filly out of a Gr2 Fillies Nursery winner, whose close relative, and Horse Of The Year National Colour, produced a $1.75 million yearling at the recent Inglis Easter Sale (Lot 352). www.capebreeders.co.za

Herald The Dawn

3 c New Approach – Hymn Of The Dawn A full brother to 2013 2000 Guineas winner, Dawn Approach, Gr2 Futurity Stakes winner Herald The Dawn will be bidding to atone for his sire’s narrow defeat in the Guineas back in 2008.

Out of a mare by the once defeated US sprinter, Phone Trick, Herald The Dawn has in his fourth dam the great mare, Kittiwake, (Sea Bird), a Gr2 winner of 18 races, and ancestress of such top horses as Gr1 Prix Jean Prat hero, Kitwood, triple Canadian International hero, Joshua Tree, and recent Gr1 Empress Club Stakes winner, Inara (Trippi).

Europe’s top 2yo filly of 2015, when victorious in both the Gr1 Moyglare Stud Stakes and G1 Fillies’ Mile, Minding is bred to be anything. She is by the world’s top sire, Galileo, whose numerous top class daughters include Igugu, Was, Found, Misty For Me, Together Forever, Ballydoyle and Mahbooba, and is out of Danehill Dancer’s G1 Coronation Stakes winner, Lillie Langtry.
