The lightly raced Captain Splendid could be a value dark horse if he stays

Gr3 EAST CAPE DERBY at Fairview on Sunday

It may well take a local lady to break the overwhelming iron-fisted Cape dominance of the R350 000 Gr3 East Cape Derby. Renate du Plessis only trained her first winner on Valentine’s Day in 2014 but the accomplished horsewoman from Stilbaai has established herself quickly in a relatively male dominated world.

he saddles a smart Windrush gelding at Fairview on Sunday. But PE is perhaps a bad example of suggesting that there is any supremacy amongst the sexes. Renate’s colleagues Dorrie Sham and Yvette Bremner can hold their own against the best, and with Corinne Bestel in KZN, could train any potential Gr1 prospect - given the horse, that is. But we digress!

Competitive

The final leg of the R900 000 Eastern Cape Sophomore Challenge heads the mid-month programme on the turf at Fairview and heralds a fitting climax to a hotly contested series, where Dorrie Sham and Justin Snaith are tied at 1-1. While traditional big-hitters Joey Ramsden and Vaughan Marshall are not making the trip from Milnerton this year, their competitive colleague Justin Snaith has a trio of runners and West Coast-based Andre Nel throws a curved ball of a talented filly into the mix. But manners and common sense dictate that we start with Renate du Plessis’ Fly Like

The Wind. The Favour Stud product never runs a poor race and returns from a trip to Cape Town when he ran a highly creditable fourth to Marinaresco in the Gr3 Winter Guineas. If over the rigours of that journey and assuming he gets the 2400m, he should make his present felt after showing he is right there with the best of the locals this term.

Snaith Trio

Justin Snaith last won this race in 2013 with True Master and he saddles a three pronged attack. Elusive Silva won beaten a neck by Fly Like The Wind in the Winter Guineas but won his two starts like an improving horse. The Australian bred More Than Grand is held by Welsh Emperor on his last run and has been a touch disappointing. Stablemate Captain Splendid is relatively unexposed looks progressive enough to challenge. He is not well drawn but the Fred Crabbia gelding is beautifully bred and his dam won up to 2600m. He costs all of R800 000 as a yearling. Alan Greeff saddles a major candidate for top honours in the Go Deputy colt Welsh Emperor. The Ascot Stud product is versatility

personified having won from 1200m to 2000m, and there is little to choose between him and Fly Like The Wind. He tends to run at them late and if there is one criticism, it is that he has been one-paced at times. That said, he enjoyed the 2000m last time and may be even more effective over the 2400m on Sunday. He certainly has a touch of class and looks to be better than his 88 rating, if putting his top toe forward. Rhumba Magic has poor recent form, while Greeff also saddles two fillies. Love Everlasting and recent maiden winner Badger Creek look to have lots to do to take on the boys.

Cape Girl

Rondeberg based Andre Nel saddles the third member of the fairer sex in the Querari daughter, Solana. The Plattner home-bred has won 3 of her 6 starts and was an emphatic winner of the Listed East Cape Oaks, when trying 2000m for the first time on her East Cape debut last time. Aldo Domeyer stays loyal to her and her racing style suggests her 11 draw will hardly be an inhibition. Be with her as a likely party spoiler for the locals. Dorrie Sham and Triple

Crown jockey Karl Zechner have formed a formidable combination and the yard has two runners in the race. Zechner rides stable elect King Of Chaos, who looks eminently suited on breeding to go the 2400m. The son of A P Arrow tries the ground for the first time, and even though held by Welsh Emperor, may be worth including as a dark horse for bigger permutations. Benji’s Dynasty won his maiden on the poly at his penultimate start and was then beaten over 7 lengths by Welsh Emperor last time. Owner Fred Crabbia went to R550 000 to buy him, so he must have positives – one of whi9ch jumps out is that he is a full-brother to the very well performed Gr1 Canon Gold Cup winner, Ancestral Fore. Gavin Smith saddles Seattle Swing, who looks nicely bred to go the distance here and is a winner over 2200m on the poly – which shows he has the lung capacity to go the extra yards. On straight form he is well held by Welsh Emperor though and will need to get a bit lucky to challenge the higher rated gallopers.

Longshot

Our Poly King-in-waiting Jacques Strydom sends out Eviction, who looks to have lots to do – but appears to be bred for this stamina test. The son of Judpot looks well held by the top few and earliern beat Fly Like The Wind a short head – but in receipt of 11kgs! Grant Paddock saddles the

only course and distance winner in the race in the form of the Elusive Fort gelding, Man Of The Cloth. The lightly raced fellow won over 2400m here at his third start, but there is some difficulty analysing the merits of the win. He beat professional maiden Messageinabottle by 0,75 lengths, which isn’t exactly a feather of any sorts. But he obviously stays, and that makes him a runner.

Fascinating

The extra ground makes for an intriguing race and will separate the men from the boys. Fly Like The Wind, Welsh Emperor and Captain Splendid are our top three pick.

Sophomore Challenge - A Fitting Climax THE Gr3 East Cape Derby run over 2400m is the third and final leg of the R900 000 Eastern Cape Sophomore Challenge. Derby Day on Sunday is one of the major racemeetings of the year in Port Elizabeth. Last year’s Eastern Cape Sophomore Challenge had a fairytale start when Charles Lytton, the son of a teaser stallion, won the first leg, the Listed Ibhayi Stakes over 1400m. He later failed narrowly to win the second leg, the Listed East Cape Guineas. The bonus of R250 000 that was payable to the owner of the horse that could win all three legs of the Challenge will not be payable in 2016. The 2016 Eastern Cape Sophomore Challenge has been run as follows: Leg 1: The R150 000 Listed Ibhayi Stakes run over 1400m Friday, 4 March was won by Dorrie Sham’s Memphis Mafia. Leg 2: The R150 000 Listed East Cape Guineas run over 1600m on Friday, 1 April was won by Cape visitor, Justin Snaith’s Brilliant Crimson.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 13th - SUNDAY 15th MAY 2016 Black Arthur (Anthony Delpech) storms home to win the SA Guineas and shoot up the July charts

Canon Gr2 SA GUINEAS at Greyville last Friday

Justin Snaith and Anthony Delpech enjoyed a dream Guineas double at Greyville on Friday evening and savoured the added thrill of watching the Silvano 3yo Black Arthur take a quantum leap into the Vodacom Durban July picture with a sizzling win in the R600 000 Gr2 SA Guineas.

he combination endured something of a shaky start to the big evening with star racer and stallion-to-be Legislate running below par in the Drill Hall Stakes. But that despair turned around in just over an hour with a Guineas double and Snaith’s SA Champions Season shares were soon trading again at record levels. But he would have been

worried early in the Guineas as he saw Anthony Delpech scrubbing at Black Arthur to get him into the race, with stablemate Baritone a length behind him, as Sylvester The Cat set a decent pace out front with Rabada in striking distance. Despite returning from a 14 week break following Investec Cape Derby fourth, Black Arthur went off joint 33-10 favourite here with stablemate and recent Byerley Turk runner-up, Baritone –

with Joburg raider Rabada at 7-2. But things panned out well for Snaith. With the field fanning out across the width of the track as they came for home, the gaps opened with Black Arthur making giant strides from ten lengths back. Byerley Turk winner Mambo Mime, who was also way back, cut a different route up the outside and he was also full of running. But in a flash, Delpech bounced Black Arthur down

the middle and with a slick change of whip hands the Silvano colt was flying and he went away to win by a half length in a time of 98,63 secs. The gutsy Rabada, who had his wide draw beautifully overcome by the astute Anton Marcus, went down the inside rail and held on doggedly for second, ahead of Mambo Mime who ran a really very decent race from way back to stay on well for third. The top three were well ahead of the rest, with Ten Gun Salute grabbing fourth cheque a length behind the third horse in a blanket tussle for the final placing. The Avontuur-sponsored Anthony Delpech confirmed that they had galloped the winner at Greyville and he had impressed him.

“I liked him and he gave me a good feel in work. This mile is a bit short and we thought the Greyville circuit may be a bit tight. But the amount of ground he made just shows he is a serious horse. They went fast, which also helped. He is the kind of horse I am thinking of riding in the July,” he suggested with a glint in his eye. Trainer Justin Snaith was over-the-moon with his Guineas double and said it had been tough giving the Joburg season a miss with all his firepower – ‘I’m like my horses, I’m a competitor,” he said. He could not stop raving about what a beautiful specimen Black Arthur is. “He is a beautiful, beautiful horse. Thanks so much to the Fosters – it is special to own

good horses, but when you breed them yourself, that is extra special. And Anthony Delpech is just too good – what a jockey!” he said. Black Arthur was bred by his co-owner Alec Foster and is a son of Silvano out of the three-time winning Western Winter mare, Grace Me Guide, who raced in the same silks for Dean Kannemeyer. He has now won 4 races with 1 place from 6 starts and took his stakes total to R668 125. There was talk of Black Arthur’s July odds being slashed from 50’s to 12-1! That is hardly surprising given the glaring merit of this win over a trip on the short side for him – and Anthony Delpech sounds like he wants the ride. Plenty of positives.

Daisy Gr2 SA FILLIES GUINEAS at Greyville last Friday

Dynasty Filly Stamps Her Class

Justin Snaith received some compensation for the Legislate Drill Hall Stakes disappointment at Greyville on Friday evening when he introduced the magnificent Dynasty filly Bela-Bela as a serious SA Champions Season prospect when she overcame traffic issues in the home straight to beat a strong field to win the R400 000 Gr2 SA Fillies Guineas.

he beautiful grey daughter of champion sire Dynasty could have won this on looks alone and she showed that her unplaced effort behind Silver Mountain in the Cape Fillies Guineas near the end of last year was all wrong. Making her SA Champions Season debut fresh off a 16 week break following a great third in the Gr1 Paddock Stakes behind Smart Call, Bela-Bela was easy to back but came powering home like a seriously decent filly. Anthony Delpech had Bela-Bela some way off the pace set by Cape visitor Our Destiny who was tracked all the way around by Negroamaro, who was bidding to give the Van Vuuren-Marwing combo a feature double. Negroamaro quickly took it up in the straight but fitness counted as Anthony Delpech had Bela-Bela switching out of traffic and storming up to challenge. Inside the 200m, Bela-Bela was going too well and she held off the late charge of Nightingale to win by a half length in a time of 98,97 secs. The progressive Silvano filly Nightingale provided the Mike Bass team with some compensation after the modest effort of their star, Silver Mountain, who finished 5,50 lengths behind the winner. The daughter of Silvano cannot be written off, but she was not alone in returning after a break – and time will tell.

The grey Negroamaro was always up in the vanguard and only tired late to run a decent third – her season target is the Woolavington 2000. Bela-Bela, who races in the famous Varsfontein silks was labelled ‘the best 3yo in the country’ by Bernard Fayd’herbe when winning on her debut. She certainly looks close to that assessment and it was ironic that Fayd’herbe rode the odds-on Silver Mountain here for the first time- without success. Anthony Delpech said that Bela-Bela was a ‘special filly’. “She has been showing such good work back home and we were a little bit worried about the 11 draw. But she was so relaxed and then showed her ability and courage after checking to turning it on so beautifully. I am look forward to riding her again!” he said. Justin Snaith looked relieved after the Legislate letdown of earlier and said that Delpech was a ‘perfect match’ for the smart filly. The Cheveley Stud-bred Bela-Bela was purchased by Varsfontein Stud at the National 2yo sale for R1,4 million. She has won 3 races with 1 place from 5 starts and took her stakes total to R458 125. That excludes the BSA Added Value Stakes Bonus of R102 500. Bela-Bela is by Dynasty and hails from an outstanding winning female line. She is out of the prolific winner producing Royal Academy mare, Mystic Spring, whose champion sire, a Breeders Cup Mile winner, left behind no fewer than 167 stakes winner.

Bela-Bela (Anthony Delpech) makes it a double for Snaith Racing as she wins the SA Fillies Guineas from the fast-finishing Nightingale (Grant van Niekerk) Mystic Spring’s dam, Secret Sunday, was a full sister to Mystiko – who gave Michael Roberts his first British classic when winning the 1991 English 2000 Guineas. While she may not have achieved much on the track, Mystic Spring more than made up for that at stud. Her seven foals to reach the track all won – and, indeed, won a total of 20 races between them. Four were

stakes winners, and two of Mystic Spring’s daughters have produced stakes winners to date. Mystic Spring’s best runner was ill-fated champion Rabiya, who tragically suffered a fatal break down in the running of the 2005 Durban July. Before his untimely death, Rabiya had won over R1 million, and landed both the Gr1 Cape Guineas and Gr2 Cape Derby, as well as Gr1 Daily News 2200.

Secret of Victoria won four features, including the Cape’s two graded sprint races for fillies – the Gr2 Sceptre Stakes and Gr2 Southern Cross Stakes. The daughter of Goldkeeper has been equally successful at stud and most fresh in our memory will be her daughter The Secret Is Out (by Captain Al) who maintained her unbeaten record with a facile win in last Sunday’s Gr3 Strelitzia Stakes.

Poly star Gogetthesheriff is the one to beat

EAST CAPE POLY CHALLENGE 1600 at Fairview on Friday

There looks very little standing in the way of 2014/15 PE Polytrack Horse Of The Year Gogetthesheriff grabbing the honours in Friday’s R100 000 East Cape Poly Challenge. The son of Go Deputy looks set to write himself into the East Cape record books and local racing folklore as one of the much loved four-legged heroes of the turf of recent times.

e all know that punters are fickle beasts on the best of days and that it would take just over a minute and a half on Friday afternoon to take the hero to zero – but the fellow that won the first two legs with such authority looks very tough to beat – and his trainer hints at that on page 10. The merit rated band conditions of each race of the series has always made Gogethesheriff hard to beat at the weights, despite him having to carry 62kg on each occasion. That is because the upper band includes horses merit rated 100 and upward – and he is rated 108. Enough has been written about the Sheriff, so let’s try and find something to run second.

Snaith Challenge

Justin Snaith saddles a coupling headed by the high-class Jet Explorer, who has earned his 100 MR on the turf and looks to have lots to prove on this platform. The son of Jet Master won his last start in the region on turf very fluently and on best performances, has the ability. Like the race favourite, he has his own dramatic tale after after doing a nosedive in the 2014 Gr1 Rising Sun Gold Challenge at Clairwood. He clipped heels and crashed facefirst into the turf, breaking his jaw in four places and his nose in four places. It is a miracle that he survived, never mind that he lived to race another day! Snaith sends out another Jet Master in the 5yo Masterly, who has solid top form on this

surface. While he has been rested 14 weeks since a poor run on Met day in the Urban Honey stayers, he has the ability to run into the money at best.

Daddy Dear

Jacques Strydom’s Dad Hekkie saddles the 7yo Russian Mig and what a dramatic moment it would be, were he to upstage his son! The son of Qui Danzig has 86th run on Friday and has lost little enthusiasm for the game – always run an honest race. He does look held by the favourite though. The 3yo Cruzcampo got within a length of Gogetthesheriff in the second leg of the challenge but should be held again – even if he did run a fair race at his only try on the track and trip. Alan Greeff trained Ochoncar is a course-anddistance winner at his

penultimate start but was beaten 2,20 lengths in the second leg. From the best of the draw, top jockey Andrew Fortune will no doubt have a plan to upstage the fancied runner.

Sham Duo

Dorrie Sham saddles the King Of Indians – Zoo Biscuit coupling. Both geldings are competitive hardknockers when they come racing but would need a few lengths improvement to hold the Strydom star. Chili Chocolate is the only filly in the line-up. She looks a better bet in her own company and while fit and capable, looks outgunned against the better males. Gavin Smith saddles the once very promising 2yo Shine Like A Star, who has failed to produce the goods – as evidenced by his modest 60 MR.

He is in under sufferance and looks to have very little chance of challenging for honours.

Happy Day

Jacque Strydom and owner Freddy Van Onselen’s dream of buying an Algoa Cup winner could deliver a big payday on Friday. The long striding chestnut should land Van Onselen the R250 000 bonus from WSB and the media coverage that goes with the perks of being a top horse. On the Friday evening after racing, Fairview will host a cocktail party and a charity auction with live music. This event is bound to be keenly supported by the local racing fraternity. The runners for Sunday’s Gr3 East Cape Derby will also be auctioned for charity on the evening. Well known PE muso Claire Venn will be providing the musical entertainment.

Marwing Magic In Drill Hall IOS Gr2 DRILL HALL STAKES at Greyville last Friday

Fireworks and drum majorettes got the 2016 SA Champions Season off to a cracking start at Greyville on Friday evening. Trainer Johan Janse van Vuuren drew first blood for the Gauteng attack with his impressive Australian-bred 3yo New Predator showing no respect for his elders when scoring an easy win in the R400 000 Gr2 Drill Hall Stakes.

he golf enforced switch of this meeting from Saturday to the popular Friday under-the-lights slot at the theatre of dreams added plenty of sparkle to an impressive opening. What lies ahead is a highly anticipated three months of action racing, where R47 million worth of stakes and 58 feature events will have the best from across the land bumping heads. The Drill Hall Stakes is a

traditional pointer to bigger things and it was to be the only 3yo in the eleven horse line-up who benefitted from a thinking man’s ride to run out an embarrassingly easy winner. Recently returned from injury, the worldclass Weichong Marwing had the free-striding New Predator out quickly and he led Legislate, with The Conglomerate further back. Into the home run New Predator continued to roll as Legislate came under pressure and became a bit one-paced.

With the winning post approaching, New Predator continued to gallop powerfully to register his first stakes success by a half length in a time of 85,35 secs. The Gr2 Cape Merchants winner Triptique ran a cracker as he came out of the pack to chase the leader and pay a telephone number dividend for a tote place. Last year’s winner Ice Machine was on his best behaviour at the start and was marginally slow away. He ran on well for third, two lengths off the winner.

The favourite Legislate was returning from a 13 week break following his unplaced Met run. The former July winner was given every chance by Anthony Delpech, but when asked had nothing to come and fell away to finish 3,90 lengths off the winner. Trainer Justin Snaith confirmed that the wellperformed athlete had not looked his sparkling self in the parade ring before the race. The Mauritzfontein and Wilgerbosdrift sponsored Weichong Marwing said he was happy for owner Lawrence Wernars, one of his major supporters. “I think the world of this horse. He is a top 3yo – this was just a prep run. I was happy to lead and I knew he would fight all the way,” said a visibly pleased Marwing. Johan Janse van Vuuren

Attenborough Glenlair Hat-Trick Calls The Tune R125 000 GLENLAIR TROPHY (Listed) at Fairview last Friday

Trainer Tara Laing has kept the gallant stayer Crown Of Gold beautifully on song for three seasons and the son of Silvano wrapped up a rare hat-trick when scoring his third successive win in the R150 000 Listed Glenlair Trophy at Fairview on Friday.

ormerly trained by top staying conditioner Joey Ramsden and now an eleven-time winner, the well related 7yo capitalised on less than vintage opposition, whom he simply steamrollered out of the game with a great show of stamina over the 3200m. As expected, Richard Fourie took the initiative to lead on Oh So Modus and he slowed it down to a controllable pace ahead of Crown Of Gold and Lucky Gambler. These were the three that were to contest the finish as Crown Of Gold moved up effortlessly at the 300m and took over from a hard ridden Oh So Modus. Craig Zackey punched the vastly superior Crown Of Gold out and he is really riding with great confidence. Crown Of Gold held the plucky Oh So Modus to 2,25 lengths in a time of 210,71 secs. Lucky Gambler was a further 1,25 lengths back in third. The last horse finished over 19 lengths off the winner. Bred by Midlands Equine, the R225 000 National Yearling Sale graduate Crown Of Gold has plenty of mileage on the clock. He has won 11 races with 17 places from 44 starts and R924 910 in stakes. He is by Silvano out of the Australian bred Palace Music mare, Palace Bride. She has produced stakes winning progeny from 1200m to 3600m. The family includes stakes winners of the ilk of Silver Mist (Western Winter), Shades Of Indigo (Indigo Magic) and the lesser light, Ze Kaiser. Trainer Alan Greeff and Ms Laing enjoyed a great day and saddled eight of the ten winners, with five and three winners apiece.

has not been the luckiest of conditioners at times but enjoyed the swing of the wheel of fortune. He confirmed that a bad draw in the Guineas had initiated the move to run his charge in open company. “We brought him back soft and he wasn’t tuned up – but it was a great ride by Weichong (Marwing). He slowed it up beautifully. And a major thanks to to New Turf Carriers for their professional service,” he added. New Predator was scoring an overdue first stakes success and had looked a winner before tiring late in the HF Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut Stakes – behind subsequent Premier’s Champions Challenge winner, Legal Eagle. The colt has now won 3 races with 5 places from 9 starts for stakes of R715 250.

Purchased by Kerry Jack Bloodstock and a Magic Millions A$50k weanling buy. he was bred in Queensland Australia by D. Austin and is a son of Darley’s Galileo stallion New Approach. A European Champion at two and three, he has produced three first-crop Gr1 winners and has the distinction of being the first stallion ever to sire three juvenile Royal Ascot Stakes winners in the same year. New Predator is out of the Fastnet Rock mare, Head Over Heels, a half-sister to multiple stakes winner Presently and Gr3-placed Another Time. The winner looks likely to go a mile plus and is a name to pencil in for the season. There were social media chirps from certain jockeys about the ‘shocking’ state of the track. These could not be confirmed.

R125 000 SOMERSET 1200 (Listed)

R125 000 PERFECT PROMISE SPRINT (Listed)

at Kenilworth last Sunday

The improvement capacity and scope of 2yo’s was demonstrated by Joey Ramsden’s smart looking Attenborough, who was a facile winner of the R125 000 Listed Somerset 1200 at Kenilworth on Sunday.

he good looking Attenborough was a well beaten third on debut and then just got the better of Cream Soda Green at his second start in a small field to win his maiden. Considering Cream Soda Green flopped next time, there were questions as to how he would deal with Snaith’s unbeaten Sergeant Hardy on Sunday – even in receipt of 3kgs. Well those were answered in no uncertain terms as the son of Western Winter, who went off a value 5-2, delivered a top drawer display of power galloping under Donovan Dillion. He had them all pushing behind him at the 300m, and it was left to second favourite Elevated to chase him home – largely in vain as the winner could have extended the winning margin of 2,25 lengths. Maiden Kenny Trix managed to salvage third and compound the red-faced below-par display

of Sergeant Hardy, who showed some early pace but had no answers late. He eventually finished a well beaten fourth, 5 lengths off the winner, with only one behind him – disappointing! It was a well timed first stakes win for Attenborough on the very day that his namesake, British broadcaster, Sir Richard Attenborough turned 90. A R2 million Cape Yearling Sale Book 1 graduate, Attenborough has now won twice from three starts for one place with stakes of R132 200. Trainer Joey Ramsden confirmed that a breakdown in communication at the sales meant he had to choose between two horses – “I am glad I stuck with Attenborough,” he chirped with a broad smile. Attenborough was bred by Pippa Mickleburgh and is a son of the late champion Western Winter out of the fourtime winning Caesour mare, In Camera.

Joey Ramsden’s juvenile feature joy at Kenilworth on Sunday was shortlived as the beautiful previously unbeaten Miranda Frost followed much the same path as Snaith’s Sergeant Hardy a half hour earlier.

he daughter of Western Winter finished a modest fourth as the diminutive The Merry Widow charged in to win the R125 000 Listed Perfect Promise Sprint. Justin Snaith and his arch adversary Joey Ramsden added some much needed needle to the rather thin in numbers Kenilworth Sunday double feature and the two races mirrored each other, with the tally being a 1-1 draw. The same applied to each yard’s favourite in the respective races! After Joey had cleaned up in the Somerset 1200, it was Snaith’s chance to celebrate with recent East Cape Nursery winner The Merry Widow easily accounting for her six rivals. Relaxed a few lengths off the gallop early, Bernard Fayd’herbe, whose tall frame makes the daughter of Captain Al look even shorter than her 15ha, set her alight at the 250m and she sailed past Miranda Frost. Starting at 5-1, The Merry Widow went on too strongly and held recent maiden winner Live Life to a half length in a time of 71,86 secs. Felicity Flyer came on late to deny the 8-10 Miranda Frost third cheque. Winning owner Gaynor Rupert was on course to lead her smart unbeaten filly in. She was naturally pleased with the second stakes win and thanked the Snaiths for having The Merry Widow so magnificently turned out. The Merry Widow is now unbeaten in three starts – with two stakes victories to her credit – and took her earnings to R212 500. Bred by Boland Stud, she is by Captain Al out of the one-time winning Jallad mare, Miss Kiri. The Merry Widow went through the 2015 National Yearling Sale ring unsold with a highest bid of R300 000. A deal was concluded immediately after with Drakenstein Stud and the filly thus also qualified for the R77 500 BSA Added Value Stakes Bonus Series.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 13th - SUNDAY 15th MAY 2016

Lyle Hewitson is one of South Africa’s newest apprentices. Having made his way through the work rider ranks, he has burst onto the professional scene with dazzling speed. I thought I’d ring up and see how he is doing.

here’s a story about a concert pianist who sits down in a hotel lobby at the keys of a grand piano and plays an impromptu recital. He plays Mozart, jazz, pop and back to classical again, playing everything from memory so beautifully that the audience is moved to tears. At the end of the set, a man approaches him and says, “I’d give anything to be able to play like that.” To which the pianist replies, “I have.” What he meant was that what he did was no matter of wishing, fluke of nature, whim or hobby. It was serious. “What he meant was that his passion was so great that it drove him to practice to the exclusion of everything else. Not that there was anything wrong with ‘everything else’, it just wasn’t his passion and didn’t fulfil him the way music did.

I was finally where I wanted to be and this was the start of everything I first met Lyle Hewitson in January 2015. When I asked why someone who otherwise seemed relatively sensible wanted to be a jockey, he answered, “I’ve always been in love with horses and now the racing bug has bit, and I’m sure it’s there to stay.” Although he said it quite seriously, there was a small, sceptical part of me that thought ‘ahh, that’s nice’, mentally patted the nice young man on the head and figured he’d see sense and grow out of it soon enough. I love eating humble pie it comes with zero calories. Watching Lyle that afternoon, a few observations stuck. The 17 year old lad had not only made it to the track under his own steam, he’d financed the trip himself. He’d taken pains to dress smartly and his kit was neatly organised into one of those small cabin bags one often sees travelling jocks wheeling along behind them. He was polite and dealt with owners,

trainers and racing staff in a confident, professional manner. While quietly accepting congratulations on his day’s win, rather than being buoyed by the achievement, it seemed to make him more serious and purposeful. In short, what I’d mistaken for playing at being a jockey was in fact serious practice. I’m pleased to say the practice has paid off. A year after keeping his promise to complete matric at Kearsney College, Lyle realised his dream by joining the SA Jockey Academy in January 2016.

Academy life Lyle explains, “Before we start track work, we wake up early, clean boxes and those who need to, are taught to ride. The apprentices who are still at school, have lessons from 10:30 till 14:30. From 14:30 it’s back to the stables to ride and clean boxes, etc. Because I’ve got a few years’ experience behind me already, as soon as my insurance came through – which was about three weeks in - I was able to start track work. So instead of going to stables, I could go to Summerveld with the second and third years and ride work.” Having been a regular at the Durban training centre since 2010, Lyle slotted in comfortably. “I just went from ring to ring and kept myself as busy as possible in the morning. There wasn’t a single person who wouldn’t help, put me on horses and give me a chance. Everyone was very welcoming.” With his extensive work riders’ experience behind him, it was not unexpected to see Lyle sign his papers and canter to post as a fully-fledged apprentice at Scottsville on 6 March 2016. “The Academy told me initially it would take about three months, which is more or less when the other experienced riders have had a chance to go. I was eager to ride and at the rate I was progressing, I put the application through. The NHA were very facilitating and helped me get everything organised. They gave their approval for me to be licensed in just under three months, so I signed my papers and by

JC PHOTOS

the time three months had passed, I had everything in order.”

First ride Were there any butterflies cantering down for the first time as a fully-fledged apprentice? “To be honest, I was very relaxed. It was an apprentice handicap, so there were no nerves about riding against the bigger jockeys. Naturally it was a very big moment, but more because of the realisation that this was the start of my career and my dream. It was more a sense of accomplishment, that I’d done it, I was finally where I wanted to be and that this was the start of everything.” Lyle was in at the deep end at his second meeting at the Vaal four days later, suiting up in open company. Was it a milestone sharing the jockey room with senior riders? “I’m confident in what I’m able to do, so my focus was on my strategy for the race. As long as I do my bit, then everything should be fine. That’s how I approached it and again, it was more a feeling of accomplishment, rather than nerves.” The strategy seems to serve him well as he brought home 3 places from his 7 engagements.

First win His first winner came on his third book of rides at Fairview on 18 March 2016 aboard the filly Blizzard Belle.

Whenever I cross the line, I’ve got this big grin on my face “It was a real fairy tale story. The win was for Yvette Bremner, who was the first person I ever rode work for as a kid. My dad is the assistant at the yard and the win came in his silks. It was pretty incredible,” he says with justifiable pride. The winners have been coming thick and fast ever since and he currently has a total of 28, meaning his apprentice allowance is down to 2.5kgs and he is half way

towards the 40 win mark and a drop to 1.5kg. Perhaps even more impressive is his strike rate of 17% wins and 55% places. As Lyle is quick to post photos of his wins (along with thanks to all the connections) on social media, it allowed me to clock another observation – every winning pic shows him crossing the line with a huge smile on his face. Is it as much fun as it looks on Facebook? “Smiling for the camera isn’t something I plan, but when I ride a race, it’s almost a natural thing. I don’t even know I’m doing it, but somehow whenever I cross the line, I’ve got this big grin on my face. I think it’s just the thrill of riding winners and riding in races in general.” How has the transition been from work rider to full time apprentice? “There are quite a few guys who came through the work rider ranks like Calvin Habib, Diego De Gouveia and Serino Moodley. We all rode against each other 2 years ago and it’s great to see them doing well. Our first year group at the Academy includes Julius Mphanya who was also a work rider, there’s Nooresh Juglall’s brother, two other first years and me. Our first year group is small, but they’ve been very supportive.” “One of the biggest advantages of being full time is fitness. I’m riding six rides a day and racing almost every day of the week, so my fitness and physical strength are improving. Race riding has also made me a better

rider. There is nothing like experience and you pick up things all the time. The senior jockeys all try and help you along and I’ve had a lot of help from everyone. “There’s a lot of constructive criticism, which sometimes seems a bit tough, but as long as you see it in the right way, you can learn. I don’t try to emulate anyone specific in terms of my riding style, but I do watch other jockeys. It goes beyond just race riding though. I also watch how other riders conduct themselves off the track and there are a few that stand out for me as being really stylish in the way they dress and present themselves. If I’m impressed by it, then I’m sure other people will be too, so I try and pick up ideas from everyone.” Does he do kit for anyone? “When I wasn’t riding, I did kit for some of the senior jockeys, but I’ve usually got a full card now, so I can’t and normally have someone helping me.” A jockey’s biggest enemy is always the scale, but Lyle says weight is no problem. “I’m happy where I am. It’s much easier when you keep active and as long as I keep working hard, my weight manages itself.”

Future Goals “Champion apprentice is an obvious goal. This season might be a bit out of my reach, as I can’t realistically expect to achieve that between March and July. Callan has a good

If I’m impressed by it, then I’m sure other people will be too lead and he’s still got winners to ride, but maybe next year. “It will definitely be my main goal before my time is up. I will be based in Durban for the rest of this year as I have to do a year of Equine Studies, but we’ll see what happens after that.”

Spectacular start While statisticians are checking when last an apprentice progressed through the ranks quite as fast, other people are also taking note. “I didn’t expect this year to start as well as it did, but I couldn’t have wished for better. I’ll just take things as they come and hopefully things keep rolling the way they have. There are definitely other people who are taking notice. “I’ve started getting calls from different centres and trainers that I’ve never engaged with before are asking me for rides. I’m getting comments from owners, trainers and even the public. It’s quite cool that my name’s becoming familiar.” Lyle Hewitson. Remember the name.

‘They Have Us To Beat’- Sheriff’s Trainer

Inaugural East Cape Poly Challenge

PE trainer Jacques Strydom saddles hot favourite Gogetthesheriff to land the historic inaugural Poly Triple Crown at Fairview on Friday. He is quick to defend any comparison between the SA Triple Crown of a fortnight ago and the local version. “Firstly, I’m much better looking than the Azzman and I’m probably in better shape too!” he quips, slapping himself on the belly.

urning on his serious face, Jacques makes the point that horseracing desperately needed heroes, and just as the outstanding Abashiri, also a son of Go Deputy, had injected new life into Champions Day, and would have positive spinoffs for a long time, so he believed Gogetthesheriff ’s rise to prominence had been good for Eastern Cape racing.

No Bad Omens

“We don’t really have the budget to do the t-shirts and caps thing here but we will scream our lungs out and I may even buy a round or two of drinks after races,” he chirped, reflecting on a big day that lies ahead on Friday 13th. Was he worried about the omen of the date – or the fact that South Africa’s leading horseracing newspaper was interviewing him before, rather than after the event? “Oh hell no, I am not worried about you guys putting the mockers on us – our horse has overcome wide draws and short trips, and I believe he is too good to be stopped by a newspaper. As for Friday 13th – not even the movie scared me! The affable and supremely relaxed Strydom says that he doesn’t fall into the trap of taking himself as seriously as he does his job, his owners and their horses. “I know racing is full of clichés but nothing is more true than not being able to do it without the owners, their horses and good staff. And I have been fortunate to have had some good ones in all those sectors,” he added, suggesting that this week would be no different to any other. “We are not talking the same money that Abashiri scooped with his fantastic win, but there is a lot of expectation and naturally a touch of pressure. But, hey, we have the horse and that’s 99% of the war won,” he said in reference to Gogetthesheriff ’s bid to win the East Cape Poly Challenge.

Public Idol

The rampant Go Deputy gelding has captured the imagination of the PE racing public – and the community at large. “The hair stood up on my neck in the final 300m of the second leg. There were my colleagues - the likes of top trainers Alan Greeff and Yvette Bremner - shouting my horse home. And I even had Phumelela Executives hugging me when he won! Do they do that in Joburg? The interest has taken my breath away and there is just so much love and fascination for this horse,” he says with tangible pride.

What does he put this charisma down to? “Must be the trainer,” he laughs in that characteristic witty Windy City style. Jacques says that patrons like Wimpy Kruger and the Sheriff ’s owner Freddie Van Onselen were soldiers who he would go to war with. “One needs the support – Freddie gave me a budget of R100k to find a good horse at the Michael Holmes Sale. Warren Kennedy had earmarked three, so I focussed on those. The first went for R640k, the second for R260k and I picked up the Sheriff for R75k. The good man above was looking out for me, as had they come up in a different order, I doubt we would be sitting looking forward to Friday as we are,” he said.

Family Man

The 44 year old, happily married with two schoolgoing children, is PE born and bred and grew up in a horseracing household. Dad Hekkie still trains horses and champion jockey Piere is the oldest of five – they also have three sisters. “Piere is six years older than me so when he went off to the SA Jockey Academy, I was only about 8 or so. I was light – at age 16 I weighed 32kgs - and wanted to go the same route but I have defective vision in my one eye, so wouldn’t have qualified for acceptance.” He learnt the stable management ropes from his Dad and also spent some time in Joburg. Jacques was also a prolific amateur rider in his day, with a 50% win strike rate that make some of his brother’s stats look ordinary - on some day, anyway! “I went to Kimberley to ride for Mike McLachlan years ago. I was down to ride the odds on shot but couldn’t do the weight. So they stuck me on the 100-1 outsider and I rode him about 12kgs overweight. I recall winning by ten lengths! I can’t remember how popular I was - this is a funny game sometimes,” he laughs. He has a great eye for a good horse and this, coupled with good old-fashioned hard work, has stood him in good stead since taking out his licence in 2001. Kiclonnel’s Blue from Benmarne Stud was the first baby he selected – that went on to win ten races. Striking View was his first home-bred and also his first top runner. He was feature placed in the Cape but sadly died suddenly. Surfin’USA was Jacque’s first J&B Met runner – not bad for a yard of his size in a relatively minor racing centre. But staying horses has always been his forte, with records broken in SA’s longest race, the PE Gold Cup and also the Glenlair Trophy.

“I have had a few decent stayers – names like Palm King, Me Tarzan and Key Castle, who we bought at 9, spring to mind.” Jacques explained that there was method in the madness of targeting stayers. “The long distance ranks are less popular and a decent stayer will always pay his way,” he says.

Management Skills

Is there anything he dislikes about training racehorses for a living? “Probably people who hype up horses. And hand in hand with that, owners who feel that when their horse wins, they should have been given more confidence – when they place, they should have won – and when they run unplaced, they should have at least run a drum! Training horses requires amazing interpersonal skills – that’s why it is better just to surround yourself with good staff and good owners – the horses will follow from the good karma – like it has for Fred Van Onselen, as an example.” Jacques, based on course at Fairview, has amongst the lowest staff turnover in his 15 years of training for his own account. “My first groom Raymond is still with me and only six of my grooms have left me over the past decade. Julia and Cabous are my assistants. They work hard – and everybody understands the rules. We are a good trusting team and while we love to win, we are good losers too.” Back to Friday, would he have felt better to have had his brother Striker in the irons? “What a question – he is the best, but he won’t be fit. So I have JP van der Merwe in the irons. He is a top ten jockey, he won the Met – if he coped with that, then he should handle this step up to the big time!” His charge has drawn 8 and he faces 9 opponents. Justin Snaith brings two decent sorts to the party. Is Jacques concerned? “I am not going to worry about the opposition. We will have the Sheriff at his best and he is even more comfortable over the mile. So let them worry about us rather.”

Faster Than The Pharoah…

Nyquist Is King Of Kentucky Unbeaten Nyquist, ridden by record-setting Mario Gutierrez, won the 142nd running of the Gr1 Kentucky Derby on Saturday at Churchill Downs in Louisville. “He’s such a special horse,” trainer Doug O’Neill said. “He’s such a professional.” Nyquist, a 2-1 favourite now undefeated in eight starts, grabbed the lead down the homestretch and held off Exaggerator to win by 1 1/4 lengths. Gun Runner was third, edging Mohaymen. “It was an amazing feeling, “ Gutierrez said. “Nyquist only needs a horse to push him. If he feels somebody coming he’s going to keep going as fast as he needs to go. I have never doubted my horse.”

Faster The official winning time for the 2000m race was 2:01.31. That was almost two seconds faster than Triple Crown winner American Pharoah’s time last year. The pace for Saturday’s race was much faster as Danzing Candy raced from the No. 20 post to the lead. Nyquist broke well and settled in behind and was in the top three horses for most of the race. With Danzing Candy fading down the stretch, Gutierrez urged his 3-year-old bay colt to the lead. With 100m remaining he looked well clear, but Exaggerator closed fast until he ran out of time and track. “I thought we had time to catch Nyquist,” said Exaggerator’s trainer, Keith Desormeaux. “What a horse (Nyquist). I can’t respect that horse enough.” Nyquist was named for Swedish ice hockey player Gustav Nyquist. who plays for the Detroit Red Wings. The team tweeted its congratulations.

Looking For Another Gutierrez was aboard Derby winner I’ll Have Another in 2012 in his only other start in the Run for the Roses. He became the first jockey to win his first two Derby races. I’ll Have Another, also owned by Paul Reddam, won the Preakness four years ago but missed the Belmont Stakes because of a tendon injury. The next leg of the Triple Crown, the Preakness Stakes, will be held May 21. Reddam said: “I only thought to this (race). Maybe later tonight we’ll think about two weeks from now. Having been close to a possible Triple Crown (in 2012) made me realize it doesn’t happen until it happens, so we’re going to enjoy this moment.” A total of 167,227 people attended the Derby, the secondhighest attendance ever for the race. Last year, there were 170,513 fans. www.cnn.com Read more about Nyquist - Here And Elsewhere on page 15

Owner Says Pleas Fell On Deaf Ears

Mogok Master has been kicking his heels for nine months

Promising British sophomore Viren’s Army (by Twirling Candy) is a grandson of Avontuur’s very popular young sire Oratorio.

iren’s Army, whose dam is the stakes placed Oratorio mare Blue Angel (who was second in the Listed October Stakes and third in the Listed Sceptre Stakes), stamped himself as a three-year-old to watch with a gritty victory in Friday’s Listed Betdaq Dee Stakes at Chester.

The Richard Hannon trained colt, who has now won three of his eight starts, narrowly prevailed in a thrilling three-way finish to land the 2100m contest by a short head from hot favourite Linguistic. Viren’s Army, a first European stakes winner for his sire, had previously finished third in the Investec Derby Trial at Epsom, and was also third in last year’s Gr3 Premio Guido Berardelli in Italy. He is the second major stakes winner produced from an Oratorio mare in recent weeks –promising filly Dolce Strega, who is out of the Oratorio mare New Plays, having won the recent Gr3 Athasi Stakes at the Curragh. No doubt, plenty more will be heard of the daughters of Oratorio - who is still a very young broodmare sire.

Cape Racing - Too Little! March has traditionally had fewer race meetings

What is going on with Cape Town racing, with just one meeting per week with small fields? Even PE has two meetings a week, although I must compliment their management on their professionalism and friendliness, writes a Cape owner and punter. Surely with stake monies well below what they should be and one meeting per week, owners will start to send their horses up country? Jay Harrielall, General Manager: Racing Division of Phumelela Gaming & Leisure Limited, replied as follows to this enquiry: The National Fixtures Committee, comprising representatives from the three Racing Operators are entrusted with the task of compiling a national calendar of fixtures for the year. A total of 461 race meetings were scheduled for 2016, with the Eastern Cape on 72 meetings, Highveld 150, KwaZulu-Natal 119, Northern Cape 36 and Western Cape 84. The Western Cape breakdown of race meetings per month is as follows: Jan 8

Feb Mar 8

Apr May Jun 6

Jul 6

Aug Sep 6

Oct 9

Nov Dec 9

Total - 84

During the Winter season in the Western Cape there is an even spread of six race meetings per month with the exception of March having five race meetings, and with regular Saturdays which is a key betting day. In the Summer season this figure averages 8 to 9 meetings a month. March has traditionally had fewer race meetings and smaller field sizes due to the number of horses leaving to contest the KZN feature season. However, there is a trend of less than average field sizes countrywide, with the Western Cape averages being significantly lower than in the other centres for a variety of reasons. Phumelela have in an effort to address this issue, reminded Trainers in the Western Cape of the consequences of falling foul of the “runs per stabling box policy requirements” and there has been a resultant increase in the field sizes for the last four race meetings.

An owner of a horse that was suspended for a year after being tested positive approached the Sporting Post in frustration after feeling that he had become the victim of the system and rather prejudicial rules – as well as his former trainer’s access to superior legal resources.

ouw Kruger says he was getting no joy from the formal structures, which apparently included the NHA and the RA, and opted to approach the media as a last resort. His horse Mogok Master was subjected to out-of-competition testing on 20 July 2015, which subsequently allegedly disclosed the presence of testosterone. Rule 74.3 became applicable and the horse was banned from racing for a period of 365 days. According to Douw that expires on 6 August. “We are small time owners of a horse that has so much potential that is being lost. We trusted Paul Peter Racing to take care of our horse. We invested a great deal of money in the horse and we maintain our innocence as far as the prohibited substance matter goes. Why should we be punished harshly when we were not directly involved in the misconduct that occurred?” Kruger went on to say that he had requested leniency in terms of the length of suspension imposed. “We believe that the horse is clean and ready to race. We also immediately moved him to Craig Mayhew. This suspension comes at the best(or worst!) time of this promising horse’s career too,” he said. According to Kruger, they have been involved with horseracing for more than 10 years as owners and bookmakers, and were also the previous TAB agents in the Vereeniging area. He felt that a concession in terms of the

Mogok Master

suspension would mean that they could move on and race their horse, rather than take their former trainer to court to recover their losses – and that in itself would prevent any negative publicity for the sport. “We don’t have access to the same legal firepower as the other parties in this matter unfortunately,” he quipped. He said that they had received no genuine empathy and consideration by the structures. “This must serve as a warning to the smaller owner. The industry says it needs owners and when you are in it, nobody seems to give a damn,” he said angrily. NHA Racing Control Executive Arnold

Hyde confirmed that Mr Kruger’s horse, Mogok Master, was subjected to out-of-competition testing on 20 July 2015. “The specimen taken from the horse subsequently allegedly disclosed the presence of testosterone, which is a forbidden substance as provided for in the Rules of the NHA. As such the provisions of Rule 74.3 became applicable and the horse was banned from racing for a period of 365 days,” he said. He added that the leading of evidence at the Peter Inquiry has been finalised and the Chairman of the Inquiry Board has indicated that the Board will deliver a finding on the merits shortly. “Unfortunately there was a delay in the finalisation of this aspect of the Inquiry because of the number of witnesses required to testify, the complex legal arguments advanced and the preparation of the lengthy transcript of the proceedings. I believe you will appreciate that it would not be advisable for the NHA to give further comment pending the finalisation of the Inquiry,” he said. While the National Horseracing Authority re-sponded immediately to our request for comment, there was no response from Phumelela or the Racing Association.

Did Marcus Err? Veteran KZN racing journalist Richard McMillan is probably going to be labelled a party pooper stick-in-the-mud for his brave observations about Anton Marcus’ technically rule flouting show of emotion with a group of the Turffontein on-course public after the pull-up of the Premier’s Champions Challenge on 30 April.

arcus had just ridden his usual cracking race on South A f r i c a ’ s highest rated galloper Legal Eagle to win the R4 million Gr1 Premier’s Champions Challenge, when, on his return to the winner’s enclosure, he was met by a group of chanting and clapping supporters – said to be Grooms.

Devil’s Advocate McMillan, who has been in newpapers for over a half century, with three decades in racing, and knows his oats, had this to say in the Racegoer’s Independent Titles on Wednesday: As expected, Legal Eagle won the Premier’s Champion Challenge as he liked under a confident ride by Anton Marcus but the late Jock Sproulle, for many years chief stipendiary steward in KwaZulu-Natal, would

probably done a double flip in his grave after the running of the race. Could anyone imagine what this outstanding protector of the Jockey Club rules would have done had a rider hopped off his mount out on the track to be engulfed by a host of grooms before weighing in after winning the Vodacom Durban July? Well, that’s what happened at Turffontein when the country’s top jockey jumped off Legal Eagle. Yes, of course everyone knows Marcus is as honest as they come and obviously weighed in at the right weight afterwards, but the rules are specific – unless they have been changed in recent times. Rule 66.1 in my rule book, although pretty ancient, states: “Every rider whose horse is placed by the judge shall, immediately after pulling up, ride his horse to the place of weighing in and without coming into contact with any other person or thing (excluding his own equipment),

except by accident, he shall present himself to be weighed in by the clerk of scales; ….” It is quite obvious that Marcus was overwhelmed by the reception he received on the track and with all the hype and emotion just lost his head for a moment – I guess we all do it from time to time. But one cannot forget that this was a R4-million race. I have been unable to establish whether the Turffontein stipes took any action after the race but quite frankly, had that happened anywhere else, the owner of the second horse could have lodged an objection or worse still, the horse could have been disqualified as there had been no evidence of what Marcus’s weight was when he crossed the line. Sure, I am going to be slapped down from many quarters, but this is just another example of how things have changed in the control of racing in this country and in some ways it has not been for the better.

NHA Comment

There is no reference to the matter in the Stipes Report and the NHA Racing Control Executive Arnold Hyde was approached for a comment on the incident. He said that the weigh-in facility and processes had been reviewed around the country and at Fairview, for example, this had already been relocated closer to the dismount. “A Stipe is always on hand to monitor the jockey and horse for weigh-in and specimen collection. We are aware that the jockey in this instance interacted with the reception group that were on the track to meet horse and rider. While strictly in terms of the rules, the jockey is required to proceed after dismounting directly to the weigh-in, it is a difficult one and a measure of discretion was applied given the emotion and adrenalin in the context of the enormity of the day and the extraordinary atmosphere that prevailed. “That said, we work within the facility’s constraints and the area may need to be secured to prohibit any public access in future.” There are many that will say that Marcus’ actions promoted horseracing more than any big money ad campaign or the usual cheap talk by racing executives.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 13th - SUNDAY 15th MAY 2016

SHORT HEADS

That is the number of individual ﬁrst crop winners for Highlands Farm’s young sire Pathfork. His son Starﬂash won impressively at Kenilworth on Sunday. The Connemara Stud bred looks a smart sort in the making. He is out of the Jallad mare Star Safari and was a R250 000 buy from last year’s March Yearling Sale. The former Irish Champion 2yo Pathfork has made an exceptional start to his stud career and is currently SA’s Leading First Crop Sire by individual winners and by prize money.

GET STUFFED!

Probably the most famous words uttered by Melbourne Cup winning lady rider Michelle Payne, who overcame a careerthreatening injury to become the only female rider to win Australia’s most famous race. She apparently directed that instruction to chauvinists. Exciting news is that she has a bestselling autobiography in the pipeline and her life story is being made into a movie. Her mother died when she was six months old, she has lost two of her siblings and another has Down syndrome. “I’ve packed in a fair bit in the 30 years I’ve had on earth,” says the girl from Down Under.

Powerhouse

Last year’s Champion Australian 2yo Vancouver faces a race against time if he is to be seen to advantage in his brief stay in Europe this summer. The Golden Slipper winner, described by Aidan O’Brien as “a powerhouse” and “massive”, has been at Ballydoyle only around 7 weeks and has to go into quarantine in preparation for his return to Australia just 24 hours after the Darley July Cup. However, if all goes well he will have three races while under O’Brien’s care.

A Noordhoek Flyer? Cape trainer Mike Stewart is in the wars and he came close to losing his left eye in a freak accident a week ago, writes Michael Clower. The Noordhoek based conditioner said: “I was leading a horse into the pens at Philippi. I don’t know exactly what happened, whether I was kicked or what, but I managed to drive myself home. I went to the optometrist and I was operated on the next day. I have torn the retina but I hope to get back most of my sight.”

The age of champion US mare Beholder who picked up where she left oﬀ last year when cruising to an easy win in the $100 000 Gr3 Adoration Stakes at Santa Anita Park on Sunday. Carrying the familiar orange and purple silks of B. Wayne Hughes’ Spendthrift Farm, Beholder scored by 2.5-lengths to register her seventh straight victory. Her remarkable record now reads 16 wins from 21 starts for $4 496 600 in earnings.

Tote Bored?

Paul Reeves’ loyal owner Paul Barrett asked a good question after his Var filly Navarone had won the first race at Kenilworth on Tuesday. “When are we getting a new tote board?” he asked. The infield indicator board, a relic of bygone days, seems to be stood down more than it works these days - and we were wondering the same.

10 000 000

That is the near total in rands of current SA champion trainer Sean Tarry’s lead with just under ten weeks left of the 2015-16 racing. On Champions Day his charges won a total of over R5 million – his four winners earning close to R4 miillion of that plunder. With Tarry’s embarrassment of choices to attack the loot in the Vodacom Durban July and the Champions Cup, even that most diehard of competitors Justin Snaith may have given up the chase – although just 13 winners adrift.

Rocking Zim

The former Geoff Woodruff-trained Rock The Country, now trained by Gokhan Terzi, won the 54th renewal of the $30 000 Castle Tankard run over 2 000m at Borrowdale Park on Saturday. Ridden by SA jockey Hennie Greyling, the Hallmark Thoroughbreds bred son of Western Winter beat a field of fourteen at any old price. The Castle Tankard Horse is the oldest sponsored race in Africa. The race was called by Nico Kritsiotis.

The number of months disqualification dished out to a New South Wales-based trainer - the latest to be disqualified for a cobalt related breach of Australian racing rules. Wyong Gr1 winning trainer Stephen Farley “pleaded guilty to a charge under AR178 of having brought Di’s Diamond to the Taree racecourse for the purposes of engaging in a race when a prohibited substance was detected in a sample taken from that filly prior to it running in the race.”

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 13th - SUNDAY 15th MAY 2016

Adriaan van Vuuren

A Lot Of Heart As there is as much chance of picking a champion with science and pedigree analysis as of solving an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum, you may as well do whatever blows your hair back. People who did just that and had a startling amount of success, are the newly crowned Triple Crown Champion owners, Adriaan and Rika van Vuuren. VAN Vuuren exploded onto the racing scene at the 2012 Emperor’s Palace Ready To Run Sale, when he bought both the top priced filly and colt. Three years down the line he owns some of South Africa’s most famous racing silks, a Dubai World Cup carnival runner, a Supreme Cup winner and South Africa’s third Triple Crown champion. He is supported by one of racing’s most colourful trainers in Michael Azzie and has some of the most enigmatic purchasing strategies in recent memory. But perhaps most unusual of all is his reason behind it all – he’s having fun. At first meeting, Van Vuuren is fairly reserved and admits it takes him a while to trust new people, but chat to him about Abashiri and you’ll go far to find a more engaging racing enthusiast. Throw in his wonderful storytelling ability, in the unique way Afrikaans lends itself to so well and an encounter with one of SA’s most enigmatic owners is a rare treat.

Triple Crown A week after his nail-biting Triple Crown win, Adriaan is still on cloud nine. “It’s unreal. It’s something you don’t think can ever happen to you.” Asked the rather obvious question of what it feels like to own a Triple Crown winner, he says “There are few things in life that give you that kind of joy. When you realise how hard it is, you start to appreciate just what an achievement it really is. Sixteen weeks and three races against the toughest competition ….” He tails off, in awe of what his horse has accomplished. But let’s rewind a bit.

Why racing? “It’s a funny story. My wife and I both grew up with horses, but the only thing we knew about racing was getting horses off the track and going to the July, which we attend every year. We were there when Pocket Power deadheated with Dancer’s Daughter and I think the fascination started there.” A look at the 2012 Ready To Run catalogue piqued his interest.

“We owned Misty Meadows at the time and we live in Flaming Rock Street and I noticed a filly called Mystical Star with Flaming Rock in her pedigree. I work nearby, so decided to go and have a look. I didn’t know how it all worked, but someone showed me to reception and they helped me with a catalogue and buyer’s card. Out in the sales yard, I saw a grey filly named Dover Beach. She was lot 24 and I tested the water and bought her for R80k. Lot 46 was in the stable next to Dover Beach and as the two seemed quite attached, I bought that one too. Then came Mystical Star. “Mike de Kock was also interested and I had to go to more for her. At that point, the TBA folks came rushing over and I could see they were a bit nervous. They wanted to know where I came from, whether I really had the money and how I was going to pay, so we went to the boardroom and I did the transaction then and there to put their fears to rest.” “Someone asked who my trainer was. At that stage I hadn’t considered all that, but explained that winning the July was on my bucket list and that I wanted someone who loves horses and would give them the best. They said they knew exactly who I needed and introduced me to Michael Azzie. “Despite not knowing anything about me and whether I had R5 or R50 million, the way he handled the situation convinced me this was someone I could work with. We’ve had our setbacks, but we’ve persevered and things have just got bigger and better. So that’s where it all started and how we got involved and the rest is history.”

Aba-orange “Misty Meadows’ orange and black are our favourite colours and Michael noticed a street in our neighbourhood called Politician Street. At that stage we didn’t know who that was – one finds these things out later – but Michael linked the two, asked about the colours and in a few hours we had them registered. It was one of those lucky things

– the partners that held the colours each thought the other had renewed them and in the mix-up, we managed to get them. It worked out well as they are absolutely perfect for us.”

Aba-army “Because horses take up so much of your time, we decided to make it something we did as a family. We also try to involve friends, family and employees because we enjoy the fun of sharing our horses with as many people as possible. I’ve heard people describe some of our lead in parties as the ‘Van Vuuren army’, but they’re all people that have been involved with the horse or helped in some way. It’s just how we do things.”

Buying horses Jenna Lyons said, “Amazing things happen when you’re having fun and doing something you love”. It is a model that works well for Van Vuuren and leads to the occasional unorthodox purchase. He explains, “I would love to have a July winner and the conviction that it will be a grey comes from me. Some people feel greys are weaker horses, but I thought Dancer’s Daughter was one of the best. There have only been a handful of grey July winners, but I would very much like to own the next one.” “Dover Beach, that first horse I bought, has developed such a bond with our youngest daughter, Danielle, it’s enough to make grown men cry. She hugs Danielle under her chin and makes these noises I can’t describe - it’s like a mother and child. It makes you realise there’s a magic that few people can understand rationally - it’s something they have to see and feel with their hearts. “I think racing is all about those little things in life and the right feeling at the right time. For example, we bought Deputy Jud because my daughter Kyla saw the words War Horse on his stable. Many people say it’s a stupid way to go about things, but we do it for fun and after a crazy week, besides church there’s nothing better than

dressing up neatly and going racing. And every so often, with some help from above, we find a horse like Abashiri.”

The Abashiri story “I bought Abashiri unseen. I’d just arrived at the sale and Michael said there’s a really good horse in the ring. The bidding stood at R380k and I gave him the nod. He made one bid for R400k and it was ‘once, twice, sold!’ He was a beautiful animal and I said I hope he can run as good as he looks. We didn’t put any pressure on him and he just blossomed on his own.”

D Day “We put in a lot of work to organise all the Aba hats and flags and make it an orange and black field day. Initially the race seemed far away and unreal, but once we were there the day just flew. It makes you a little scared when you realise how much can go wrong. I think the worst was when everyone started cheering ‘Go Abba Go’. Abashiri stopped, looked around and then put his head down and went. I think that’s when reality hit that this was it.”

Reaction “The crowd was amazing. I don’t think there was a single person who wasn’t cheering for him. Everyone joined together to support this horse and will him home. That togetherness, somehow the crowds knew and Abashiri knew. It was so emotional. I’m glad I wasn’t on the horse at that stage - it was far easier watching from the box!” “The minutes after the race were agonising. Did he win, did he lose? It looked 50/50, so we had to wait for confirmation and try to stay calm. Then the replay and

waiting for the commentator to make the announcement - it was a few seconds of not breathing. And then came the announcement and from there on it was just celebrations. People still haven’t stopped.” “When Louis The King won it in 2014, I said to myself what are the chances of finding a horse like that? One just hopes and we have been so lucky to have reached heights with this horse and others that have taken us to places we’d never have been otherwise.”

Unforgettable “Those are moments I’ll never forget. It’s not just the win, it’s how it has impacted other people’s lives. People who don’t even have horses were there just to see the dream come true. It makes your hair stand on end. We were touched how many people came to thank us for the memorabilia – it was so unexpected in this day and age. Some said nothing and just hugged us.” “A lot of people who put money on Abashiri didn’t cash their tickets. It’s a little part of him and of the day they want to hang on to. I don’t think one can fully understand how many people’s lives he’s touched.”

“That feeling is an absolute privilege to experience. When my first child came into the world, that single event made me forget everything else. That’s what it felt like on Saturday – every negative disappeared. This horse makes everyone forget their problems. “He doesn’t know all that of course – he just knows he’s won – but you could see he knew it wasn’t a normal race. Those are moments money can’t buy. And one day when it’s someone else’s turn, we will always remember what it felt like to stand there on Saturday.”

Triple Crown aftermath Abashiri has since shipped to KZN and Adriaan confirms, “We’re looking forward to the July. There’s less pressure now that things are spaced out more, so he’ll spend time going to the beach and relaxing a bit. “All our preparation is on track, but we’ll take it one step at a time. People say he’s not a stayer and I believe perhaps he isn’t, but I do believe that he is a champion and it takes a champion to win races like this – he has got the heart!”

Tarry & July

A King’s Ransom? Every so often a loophole can allow a player to have the final decision in who carries what

After Legal Eagle won the Gr1 Premier’s Champions Challenge a week ago, his trainer Sean Tarry expressed the opinion that his charge may give the Vodacom Durban July a miss. A wag suggested that Tarry is holding the July to ransom again, as he did with the previous July and Met.

hat is of course nonsense – Mr Tarry is doing no such thing. What in fact has happened, is that last year Legal Eagle managed to run in the July a few kilo’s lighter due to running a higher rating earned after the cut-off date for the July weights being finalised – and as has happened a few times before! In the build-up to the J&B Met, in which Smart Call beat Legal Eagle, Tarry remained undecided for a while when he had both Legal Eagle and French Navy high up in the betting. That uncertainty possibly had the effect of stalling ante-post Met interest. Again Tarry gets the hot seat, and it’s hotter than ever before! The July is not a free standing handicap, it has various conditions which changes the normal “what would have been” handicapping. The result is that some parties get

advantaged, or disadvantaged, depending on how things break for them. Every now and again a loophole can allow a player to have the final decision in who carries what. The July log at 4 May shows that the top three are: • Legal Eagle (120) • Abashiri (117) • French Navy (115) Two other notes are that 3yo’s get a 2 kg WFA allowance, and that the maximum weight for a 3yo colt in the July is 57kgs. If you’re iinterested, why not read the document below. What makes Tarry’s seat red hot is that because he has the highest rated horse (which he can withdraw, and in this case is already on record as a possibility), he can manipulate the weights by choosing when to announce the withdrawal. And his options are:

Qipco 2000 Guineas winner Galileo Gold is to miss the Investec Derby and instead be aimed at the Tattersalls-sponsored Irish Guineas at the Curragh on May 22.

"In many ways this is a relief, as if the results had come back a 'CT' then we may have faced a dilemma. Our priority is now to cement his position as a superstar miler and, all being well, we will now run in the Irish 2,000 Guineas,

Depending on the configuration of the final Vodacom Durban July final field , Bookmakers look set for either their best or even possibly worst balanced ante-post book for many a long year. The betting at this stage is very distorted with the two best horses in the country being offered at more than twice the value they should be and representing 20% of the market – that coupled with rumoured doubts over their participation.

Another international stakes winner for SA sire

Galileo Gold wins the Vintage Stakes

arious discussions and pedigree tests have taken place regarding plans for the Hugo Palmer-trained son of Paco Boy, who shone on the Rowley Mile under Frankie Dettori last weekend. Palmer told his Betfair blog: "Nobody who witnessed the speed and power of Galileo Gold winning the 2000 Guineas will be surprised to learn that the result of his Equinome tests - from the scientists at University College Dublin - is what they call a 'CC'. "This means that there is a less than one per cent chance of his optimum trip being a mile and a half and therefore, having consulted with Harry Herbert and Sheikh Joaan (of Al Shaqab Racing), I can reveal that the horse will not be running in the Derby.

It has been a big few days on the 2016 Gr1 Vodacom Durban July landscape with Black Arthur’s superb showing in Friday evening’s SA Guineas at Greyville, and Monday’s first declaration stage, defining the big race picture – albeit only slightly with 50 days to go.

and hopefully then on to the St James' Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot. I can honestly say that I have never had a horse take a race so well as he has his Newmarket run. He has literally lost no weight, hasn't left an oat, and looks a trillion dollars."

Landmark

The victory was a landmark achievement for Palmer in claiming a first British Classic winner, and one he feels has helped calm any early-season nerves. He said: "I've been absolutely blown away by the support and the messages of congratulations, I still have over 150 messages that I've got to get back to but I will get through them all. "It is extremely exciting and hugely important for the yard when it has grown so significantly. It has settled a lot of nerves and no one can say in this early part of the season the yard can't take the growth it has had. For me and my team it is magic to have such a lovely group of horses at the end of the day." www.racinguk.com

Drakenstein Stud-based Duke of Marmalade has the probable favourite for the 29 May renewal of the lucrative Gr2 Oaks d’Italia in the form of Saturday’s Listed trial winner Responsibleforlove.

he Irish-foaled filly was winning for the third time in four career outings, having broken her maiden second time out at 2 by 7 lengths and duplicated that margin when winning her seasonal debut at 3. Team Valor International, in a group that includes South African film maker Anant Singh, and Mrs. Gaynor Rupert, bought a half interest in the filly prior to Saturday’s Premio Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, which the filly duly won as the heavy favourite. Barry Irwin said “When I was presented with an opportunity to buy a half share of the filly, I naturally thought of inviting Gaynor because of her connection with the sire. Gaynor and Team Valor have been racing and breeding partners ever since she became a partner with us in Ebony Flyer, with whom we won the Cape Fillies Guineas. “The win on Saturday was notable not only for the filly’s superiority over her rivals, but for the response of the filly

Duke of Marmalade because of the rider’s action.” Jockey Carlo Fiocchi wound up in front on the filly when nobody else went for the lead. The filly cruised around the large San Siro oval with her ears pricked. When the rider dropped his whip just in advance of the final 2 furlongs and his mount received a bit of a challenge, the rider improvised, reached back and slapped the filly barehanded. Responsibleforlove responded by violently swishing her tail. In the final furlong, the rider did it again and resorted to using the reins like a whip,

which further infuriated the filly. The bay daughter of Duke of Marmalade, however, showed how genuine she is by continuing to dominate the proceedings and she won being hand ridden late to win clear by 1 ½ lengths. Her final sectional halfmile was clocked in a terrific :46.25. Team Valor and Mrs. Rupert race the filly in partnership with Pisa-based owner Cristiana Brivio, whose partner Endo Botti is the filly’s trainer.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 13th - SUNDAY 15th MAY 2016

Nyquist - Proﬁle Of A Champion

When the unbeaten Nyquist won Saturday’s Gr1 Kentucky Derby, taking his formline to eight wins from as many starts, he provided more ammunition for what was once a dominant sire line, suggests Sarah Whitelaw.

rom the first crop of sensational sire, and former US champion 2yo Uncle Mo (by Indian Charlie), Nyquist was one of three runners in the Derby for his red-hot sire (Uncle Mo’s stud fee has risen from $25 000 to $75 000, and is likely to increase again this year). Uncle Mo, who himself was unbeaten at two when his wins included both the Gr1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and Gr1 Champagne Stakes, has already been represented by three individual first crop Gr1 winners thus far in Nyquist, Outwork (Gr1 Wood Memorial Stakes) and Gomo (Gr1 Alciabiades Stakes), and this tally could well rise still further.

Early

Uncle Mo’s sire Indian Charlie, winner of the Gr1 Santa Anita Derby, was a top class stallion, who sadly died of cancer at the relatively early age of 16. Nonetheless, the son of In Excess (a grandson of French 2000 Guineas winner and hugely influential sire Caro) left behind 90 stakes winners from 951 foals –with an impressive nine percent of his runners picking up at least one stakes race. Indian Charlie’s tally of stakes winners included seven Gr1 winners, including the

Breeders’ Cup winners, and official champions, Indian Blessing and Uncle Mo. Another daughter, Fleet Indian, was named Champion Older Mare in 2006. Uncle Mo aside, Indian Charlie’s sons at stud included the now deceased Bwana Charlie, sire of Gr1 Cashcall Futurity winner Comma To The Top, and graded winners Adios Charlie, Anthony’s Cross, Conveyance, and Liaison. Uncle Mo apart, another top class current day US sire from the Caro male line is the Juddmonte Farms based Mizzen Mast, whose offspring include the Breeders’ Cup winners Flotilla and Mizdirection.

Dancing Champ

From the same family as former top class SA sire Dancing Champ, as well as Horse of The Year Zenyatta, Mizzen Mast has seven Gr1 winners to his credit, and is siring a more than respectable 6% stakes winners to foals. Nyquist, just the second horse to win both the Gr1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and Gr1 Kentucky Derby (Street Sense being the other to complete the double), is a direct male line descendant of the former outstanding sire Grey Sovereign (a Nasrullah three parts brother to 2000 Guineas/Derby winner Nimbus). The latter, who won the Gr2 Richmond Stakes, was twice champion sire of 2yos in

Nyquist winning the Kentucky Derby on Saturday

Britain and was also a leading sire of juveniles in France. His top runners included French 2000 Guineas winner Don, Prix de l’Abbaye hero Fortino II (sire of Caro),brilliant filly La Tendresse (dam of Coventry winner Prince Tenderfoot), top class filly Cynara, Cheveley Park winner Queensberry and French 2000 Guineas hero Zeddaan. The latter was a successful sire of sires, with his classic winning sons Kalamoun and Nishapour both enjoying

The Alchemy’s beautifully bred young stallion Gitano Hernando opened his winner’s account at Flamingo Park on Monday when the Tienie Prinsloo trained Los Ninos won a 1200m Maiden Juvenile Plate in comfortable fashion.

os Ninos, formerly based with Carl Burger down in the Western Cape, showed an appreciation for the extra 200m when staying on well from his wide draw at his fifth start in the Northern Cape. He races in the familiar dayglo yellow and purple of George-based owner Braam van Huyssteen and had previously been placed at two of his starts The R70 000 BSA 2015 Val De Vie Yearling Sale graduate was signed for by the Sport City Trust. The colt was bred by S & C le Roux (Goudini Stud) and is out of the solid Becker mare, Autograf, who won four races from 1200m to 1400m. Gitano Hernando also has the promising Maine Chance Farms bred Villanelle, who is trained by Grant Paddock. She has run four times for three seconds and a placing in the Listed East Cape Nursery behind Saturday’s impressive unbeaten Listed Perfect Promise Sprint winner, The Merry Widow. She must win soon. A top class and durable racehorse, Gitano Hernando bears striking similarities to former champion sire Silvano, one of the best stallions to

stand in South Africa over the past two decades. Both Gitano Hernando and Silvano were bred by Dr Andreas Jacobs and both hail from the same Niniski male line. Both were outstanding and tough racehorses, who raced in no fewer than six different countries, with both Gitano Hernando and Silvano landing the prestigious Gr1 Singapore Airlines International Cup. Gitano Hernando’s greatest achievement was probably winning the Gr1 Goodwood Stakes at Santa Anita at the age of 3. Silvano and Gitano Hernando are thus both US Grade One winners. Gitano Hernando, who amassed over $2 million during his racing career, won four pattern races during his career, with his principal victories including the Gr1 Singapore Cup and Gr1 Goodwood Stakes. He also won the Gr3 Diamond Stakes and Listed Winter Derby Trial, and was also placed in the Gr2 Maktoum Challenge and Gr3 Dee Stakes. Gitano Hernando was also extremely versatile, winning G1 races on both turf and all weather. He is a son of French Derby winner Hernando, a hugely successful stallion whose other notable runners including major European classic winners Holding Court, Look Here and Sulamani. Out of a mare who five stakes races during her career (Gino’s Spirits’ major win came in the G3 Noble Damsel Hcp where she defeated Barbaro’s dam La Ville Rouge), Gitano Hernando is from a magnificent female line. His family is noted for producing outstanding juveniles, with Gitano’s relatives including such outstanding young racers as Admire Cozzene, and Toormore, to name but a few. Gitano Hernando’s third dam is 1000 Guineas Mrs Mcardy, and his sixth dam is champion Star Of India. He stands at The Alchemy for a fee of R15 000.

success at stud –Kalamoun’s sons including the top class sire Kenmare, while Nishapour’s top performers included French Derby winner Mouktar and French Oaks winner Shemaka.

National Colour

Nishapour’s son Mr Eats is broodmare sire of former Horse Of The Year National Colour. Grey Sovereign’s brilliant daughter Nalatale foundered a formidable dynasty in South Africa, and is perhaps best known as the granddam of Horse Of The Year and successful sire Horse Chestnut (damsire of this year’s Gr1 J&B Met winner Smart Call). Grey Sovereign’s son Sovereign Path also sired the 1000 Guineas winner Humble Duty as well as the top class stallion Sovereign Edition –a former champion sire in New Zealand, whose top runners included the champion filly Surround as well as. A horse famed for siring horses with both brilliance and temperament, Grey Sovereign’s sire Nasrullah is a horse who more than left his mark on the Kentucky Derby.

California Chrome

Recent winners, Orb and California Chrome, are both descended from Nearco’s great son, while Nasrullah’s best sire son, Bold Ruler, himself sired arguably the greatest Kentucky Derby winner of all time in Secretariat. Bold Ruler’s sons Bold Bidder, Bold Commander, Irish Castle, and What A

Pleasure, all went on to sire at least one Derby winner. Nyquist’s dam, Seeking Gabrielle (Forestry), is a winning three parts sister to G3 Interborough Handicap winner Seeking The Sky (Storm Cat), dam of Gr1 Met Mile hero Sahara Sky (Pleasant Tap). Seeking Gabrielle, who has been confirmed in foal to War Front, has stakes winners as her first three dams and she traces back directly in female line to Irish Oaks winner Superbe (Bosworth).

Bobby’s Kitten

While Nyquist is the best horse produced by a Forestry (Storm Cat) mare to date, the former Gr1 King’s Bishop winner is already damsire of at least 17 stakes winners, with his daughters having also produced Gr1 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint hero Bobby’s Kitten (Kitten’s Joy) and multiple Gr1 winner Turbulent Descent (Congrats). Forestry made history when his son The Green Monkey sold for $16 000 000 at the 2006 Fasig Tipton Calder Sale. A magnificently bred horse (he is a half brother to Breeders’ Cup winner Cash Run and from the family of Mr Prospector), Forestry was a somewhat inconsistent sire, but his 50 odd stakes winners included G1 Cigar Mile hero and Gr1 sire Discreet Cat, the very fast Forest Danger and G1 Preakness Stakes winner Shackleford, whose first twoyear-olds race this year. Another son, Old Forester, was champion sire in Canada in 2015.

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

with Steve Furnish

On The Right Road

Scottsville 1st May Three of the nine races in Pietermaritzburg on Sunday were run over 1100m and the fastest of these was the listed In Full Flight Handicap won by CAPTAIN ALFREDO. Sent off second in the betting market at 7/1, Dean Kannemeyer’s charge was soon up handy. He was ridden to lead as they approached the 300m marker and with the rest well beaten, he comfortably accounted for the well supported favourite CAPTAIN’S CAUSEWAY by a length and three quarters. The faster of the two Gr3 juvenile events over the trip was the Godolphin Barb Stakes contested by the boys. The Pathfork colt RED CHESNUT ROAD impressed when cruising in on debut, and heavily supported into 13/20 from 11/10 here, he repeated the dose. Nicely positioned in second for most of the journey, Robbie Hill’s charge put his head in front going through the 200m and showing a very nice turn of foot won going away by six and a quarter. The 3yo ROY’S ROLL’S ROYCE was the best bet on the card for many and in what proved to be the faster of the two 1400m maiden events he didn’t let down his supporters. Backed through all rates into 5/10 from 13/10, the son of Choisir was always handy. He was asked to take up the running at the 300m pole and easily accounted for the uneasy joint second favourite REBEL CIRCUS by three. TITBITS THE SECRET IS OUT ran on very well from midfield when winning the Gr3 Strelitzia Stakes over 1100m going away by a length and three quarters. Front running SHE’S A FORTRESS was always in command when winning the MR70 Handicap over 1000m with authority by four and a quarter.

Notebook

Fairview 2nd May They raced on the poly track on Monday where the fastest of the three 1200m races was the MR68 Handicap won by TYPHOON TESS. Freely available at 8/1 on the off, the Sail From Seattle mare raced seventh early on. She had moved up to fifth coming off the bend and under a well-judged ride from Karl Zechner, she got up late to deny the more fancied GILL’S FANCY. The biggest upset on the card occurred in the faster of the two 1900m events, a MR64 Handicap when the 6yo MULAAZEM registered his fourth career victory. Positioned in the rear early on, Hekkie Strydom’s charge ran on best of all in the straight and got up late to beat the front running ALL THE BIDS by a half. The faster of the two 1600m races was the bill topping MR80 Handicap won by NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Nibbled at on course into 9/2 from 11/2, the 5yo son of Trippi led throughout. He kept on strongly at the business end of the race and got the verdict by a half from the running on GRAPE VINE. Third placed CREVASSE ran on well from the rear in this race. TITBITS After making all of the running QUANTITY only had to be pushed out to win the opening maiden plate over 1300m. The 4yo FIRE HORSE was gaining at the finish when running on from midfield to fill second position in the MR71 Handicap over 1000m.

A Walk In The Park Vaal 3rd May Tuesday’s action took place on the outside track where five of the afternoon’s eight races were staged over 1200m. The fastest of these was the MR88 Handicap in which the nibbled at outsider ZORTZIKO registered his fourth career victory. Eventually sent off at 14/1 after opening up at 25’s, the Jet Master gelding was soon positioned close to the speed. He put his head in front at the halfway mark and rallied gamely after being headed 200m out to beat the 14/10 favourite DONNY G by a neck. Race two on the card was a maiden juvenile plate over 1200m and here we saw an impressive debut from the newcomer ZAAKHIRA. Backed throughout the morning into even money from 28/10, the daughter of Redoute’s Choice broke well and was soon up handy. She was ridden to lead as they approached the 300m marker and cruised in by seven and a half despite being eased down late. Racing in open company the 2yo ANNOUNCING RAIN was sent off in the red to win the maiden plate over 1000m and she didn’t let down her supporters. Taken straight to the front by Karl Zechner the 6/10 favourite led throughout. She was always in command and with the rest some five and three quarter lengths adrift she beat the friendless newcomer (another 2yo) FAVOUR’S PRIDE by a length and a half. TITBITS The 4yo RIVERINE FOREST ran on well from the rear when getting up late to win the MR64 Handicap over 1200m. She was racing off a mark some 24 points below that of her former best here and is sure to be well handicapped again next time.

The Dean Kannemeyer trained PAPERBACK WRITER was all the rage to win the opener on the poly track on Wednesday afternoon and in what proved to be the faster of the two maiden juvenile events over 1400m he did the business. Backed all the way in to 9/10 from 33/10, the son of Var was soon at the head of affairs. He kept up a healthy gallop throughout and although the very green second favourite QEYAADAH was running on strongly late, he went on to score comfortably by a length and three quarters. There were three races run over 1400m in total and fastest of all was BROWN SUGAR when winning the MR84 Handicap. On leaving the stalls it was VICTORY TAKEOVER who somewhat predictably set the pace whilst Gavin Van Zyl’s charge raced close up in second. She took up the running coming off the bend and although the pacemaker kept on determinedly in the

straight to hold second position, she won with authority by a length and three quarters. Quickest home in the three 1200m events was ROY’S MARCIANO in the MR70 Handicap. Always handy, the 15/2 shot ran on stoutly in the straight and in a race where only a length separated the first four home, he got the verdict over the ill-fated LANCAT by a neck. The runner up broke down after passing the post and was Euthanased on humane grounds. TITBITS Backed as if unbeatable (11/10 into 1/3), DAWN CALLING won the girl’s division of the maiden juvenile plate over 1400m going away by five and a half. When interviewed after the race trainer Duncan Howells said that Dawn Calling had been showing some phenomenal work at home. According to my clock LAST TIGER broke the course record when winning the MR94 Handicap over 1600m.

Bang On Target Vaal 5th May They again raced on the outside track on Thursday where the fastest of five 1400m events on my clock was the MR68 Handicap won by the uneasy favourite MUSICAL MAN. Allowed to ease out to 5/2 from 16/10 at the track, Barend Botes’ charge was soon up handy. He was ridden to lead shortly after passing the 200m marker and comfortably accounted for the rank outsider of the twelve horse party MENDOZA’S MELODY by two and a half. Two of the remaining four races were run over 1600m quickest home in these was KINGS ARCHER when winning the bill topping MR83 Handicap. Just three and a half lengths covered all 400m from home and finishing best of all he got up late to beat the returning to form EL

MAESTRO by three quarters. Third placed HAWAIIAN SUN also ran on well from off the pace in this race. Race four on the card was a maiden plate over 1400m and here we saw a nice performance from the 2yo in open company HIDEAWAY. Making his debut here against what has to be said looked to be a very moderate bunch, the son of Starcraft made all. He was just a half-length to the good going through the 400m and cruised clear at the business end of the race to score by four and a quarter. TITBITS The progressive 3yo FIDELIO completed a hattrick when winning the MR80 Handicap over 1000m going away.
