The Snaith filly Bela-Bela could confirm her star status
Gr1 Woolavington 2000
Gr1 WOOLAVINGTON 2000 at Greyville on Saturday
T
J&B Met winner Smart Call, who is currently winging her way to exotic international destinations, was the Gr1 Woolavington 2000 victress last year. She was the second winner of this race in four years to go on and win the Cape’s premier race. In 2014 Justin Snaith saddled In The Fast Lane to win and the Cape champion conditioner must fancy his chances strongly again this time round.
he Woolavington 2000 is only won by top fillies and the young Snaith and his elder Mike Bass must fancy their chances of taking the prestigious trophy to the Cape again. That is certainly how things look on paper.
Strong Form
The recent SA Guineas winner ran third behind Smart Call in the Gr1 Maine Chance Farms Paddock Stakes at Kenilworth in January and is a flashy well-bred sort who will enjoy the 2000m. She takes on the Mike Bass-trained Silvano filly Nightingale, a Vodacom Durban July entrant, who flew through to finish half a length behind her in the SA Fillies Guineas .
The tactical duel between the two will make for an interesting spectacle but if the official ratings are to be taken at face value, Bela-Bela should come out tops. The Fort Wood filly Negroamara from the Johan Janse van Vuuren stable was 1,75 lengths behind Nightingale in third place in the SA Guineas. She finished second in both the Gauteng Fillies Guineas and SA Fillies Classic before that, is another that could shine over the longer trip.
Tarry’s Two
Sean Tarry has a coupling, headed by Gauteng Guineas winner Heaps Of Fun. The daughter of Visionaire was well beaten in the SA Fillies Classic but then improved again for a good third in the Camellia Stakes behind Joan Ranger. She shed her maiden on the Greyville
poly at her second start and having beaten Negroamaro, cannot be ignored. Her stablemate Witchcraft probably didn’t stay when well beaten in the SA Oaks and prior to that was beaten 3,40 lengths by Negroamaro in the SA Fillies Classic. Flying Ice has continued to hold her own at stakes level and ran on steadily for a 4 length fourth in the SA Guineas last time. She should relish the trip and is a danger at a decent price if things go her way. Joey Soma’s Fortissima ran out of her skin for a charging second in the SA Oaks last time after two good wins. On a rating of 82, she has plenty to do but with Anton Marcus in the saddle, anything could happen.
The Balance
It looks tough for the rest. Polyphonic is a promising
daughter of Judpot and travels from Gauteng. She has failed at both her classic bids but won going away in a lower rated handicap at the Vaal last time and may be better than rated. She has the 1 draw in her favour. MJ Byleveld and Vaughan Marshall have made a decent start to their KZN campaign with even the yard’s Cape runners having turned around. They team up with Adorada, who showed up nicely when running on stoutly for third behind Gallica Rose in the Scarlet Lady. The failure of the latter in Friday evening’s East Coast Cup may not underscore that form, but it brings Adorada in with an outside place shot.
Carol’s Okay
Geoff Woodruff ’s Christmas Carol has failed to produce her early promise and travels to Greyville after a recent fair fifth in the SA Oaks. She is better than her recent form suggests. Ruler Of The Sky has some decent lower league postmaiden form but steps into the big league as a largely unknown candidate. Glen Kotzen-trained All
Mine looks well held by Nightingale on her opening KZN run. The Goodman runner Tide Is Turning won her maiden at her penultimate start and looks to be making up numbers in this quality line-up.
First Choice
Bela-Bela is a confident choice to hold the luckless Negroamaro with Nightingale and Flying Ice candidates for the minor money. Fortissima and Polyphonic are the longshot outside possibilities.

NOTICE
July Favourite To Gallop Vodacom Durban July favourite Black Arthur will gallop at 12h55 (one hour before the first race) at Greyville racecourse on Daily News day, with Anthony Delpech aboard. The announcement was made by Snaith Racing in the interests of keeping the racing public informed. “I think it’s rather important to keep the racing public in the loop as to what is going on, as there is often speculation. This particularly given the fact that he was withdrawn from the Daily News, which was purely a strategic move to ensure he carries bottom weight in the big race, irrespective of what other parties do, or don’t do, ” said stable spokesman Jono Snaith.

The classy Rabada faces his stamina test over the 2000m
Gr1 DAILY NEWS 2000 at Greyville on Saturday
T
The majority of South Africa’s top 3yo’s line up at Greyville on Saturday to contest the prestigious R2 million Gr1 Daily News 2000. With four of the sixteen runners in the Vodacom Durban July top 20, the outcome will be watched with great interest by all racing fans.
he honour roll of the race reads like a veritable who’s who of our topflight 3yo’s over the years and with only Triple Crown star Abashiri and SA Guineas winner Black Arthur absent, there is no reason to believe that the Daily News 2000 class of 2016 will not produce the stars. Trainer Johan Janse van Vuuren and Weichong Marwing are back with Drill Hall Stakes winner New Predator. The handsome Australian bred son of New Approach, posted at 11 on the official VDJ log, looks eminently suited to the Greyville track and his aggressive style of racing could carry the day. His run in the Horse Chestnut when Gavin Lerena took the fight to champion Legal Eagle, was a breathtaking show of power galloping - and while it backfired with a 3,80 length beating, it could well work against his own age!
Tarry Trio
SA champion trainer Sean Tarry goes into the race with a four-horse team headed by the Australian-bred colt Samurai Blade, who is ranked one above New Predator on the July log. The son of Where’s That Tiger finished fast-finishing third places to Abashiri in both the SA Classic and SA Derby and while he is only a one-time winner, is improving with every outing. His stablemate Prospect Strike has no luck with the draws. He pulled a wide gate when beaten out of the money but only 2,40 lengths behind Black Arthur in the SA Guineas and is at 15 here. That makes it tough. Liege is the third of the Tarry attack. The son of Dynasty won well on the polytrack at his last start and while beaten 15 lengths by
Abashiri in the SA Classic (he was changing legs), could improve some to feature. Mike Azzie saddles SA Guineas runner-up Rabada, who tries the 2000m trip for the first time. He was only collared late over a mile by July favourite Black Arthur last time out. The son of Brave Tin Soldier knows the track well but has plenty of pace and we are not convinced who find 2000m at Gr1 level. He is far too classy to ignore and at 8 on the VDJ log, he will have his supporters.
Profitable
Trading Profit is the second of the Azzie challengers. The son of Toreador has not quite lived up to his early promise and his last two runs have been well downfield. Gavin Van Zyl has a trio of runners, headed by SA Derby near party spoiler, Rocketball. The Judpot gelding came within a heartbeat of destroying the Aba dream and Warren Kennedy is aboard again – this time from a favourable 1 draw. Stablemate Celtic Captain was beaten 2,30 lengths in the SA Guineas and is a winner at this track. He may lack a length or two in this class. Redcarpet Captain is the third of the Van Zyl attack and he cannot be fancied after a host of disappointing efforts. Justin Snaith takes his chances with Cape Derby winner It’s My Turn and the fast improving Brooklyn Brawler. It’s My Turn was slow off and found the SA Guineas rush too hot last time, when he may also have needed it. As the top ranked Vodacom Durban July candidate in the field, his class is not in question – and top man Anthony Delpech rides.
Local Hope
Ashburton trainer Duncan Howells has two in the race and the Aussie bred Ten Gun Salute
strikes us as the elect. The son of Henrythenavigator has some eyecatching recent form and ran on powerfully in the SA Guineas, where he notched a fourth placed finish. His earlier form in decent company is a recommendation and he will not be swimming out of his depth here. Watch this one! Dean Kannemeyer will be looking for a big run from his July hope Mambo Mime, a winner of the recent Gr3 Byerley TurK. The son of Mambo In Seattle finished third 1,50 lengths to Black Arthur in the SA Guineas last time after looking dangerous late in the race.
The talented Stebbins and Bankable Teddy make up the balance of the Gauteng attack and look to have some ground to make up on their official ratings.
Thriller
We are set for a cracking race and there will be winning arguments for a host of the runners. We are siding with New Predator to beat Mambo Mime and Rabada – with It’s My Turn the danger if he catches his breath and finishes his race. Then don’t discard Ten Gun Salute, who will have the homecrowd behind him.

Gr3 LONSDALE STIRRUP CUP at Greyville on Saturday
The Long Road
Joey Ramsden's solid stayer Coltrane should be in the mix
The R250 000 Gr3 Lonsdale Stirrup Cup presents punters with one of the serious puzzles on a top class race day at Greyville this Saturday. The 2400m handicap hosts a capacity field with chances to many.
M
ilnerton based Joey Ramsden is one of our best staying conditioners and his Argentinean-bred Coltrane is a consistent and talented stayer who runs fresh after a 14 week break. The son of Giant’s Causeway has not won for some time and was beaten 5 lengths by the top class Solid Speed in this event last year. He is a horse that runs for Anton Marcus and has as good a chance as a few others.
Bass Duo
Mike Bass has two in the race and his topweight Helderberg Blue comes into the picture after a return to form last time when third to No Worries in the Highland Night Cup. The very expensive son of Jet Master has been a disappointing horse to follow but may well be ready to get back into the winner’s enclosure after a long absence. His stable mate Three Balloons is a modest staying sort and has shown nothing in his two opening starts in KZN. While it is not a major factor over the trip, his wide draw is bound to count against him. Dean Kannemeyer is in top form and saddles an attractive coupling headed by the Silvano gelding Balance Sheet. Anthony Delpech rides the 4yo who has been lightly raced but is a notable Vodacom Durban July entry who will have to put his best foot forward here to be considered for inclusion in the final field. His stable mate Solar Star was made ample use of last time when making the pace in the
Highland Night Cup, only to be caught late in the race by No Worries. The son of Kahal is 1 kg better off with the Van Zyl galloper and given the likelihood of a serious pace in the race could show further improvement with a patient ride.
Niche
No Worries found a sustained finish in the Highland Night Cup and may have found his late career niche in staying handicaps. The son of Kahal has seldom run a bad race and show the kind of versatility and heart that brings him into top three consideration here. Mike De Kock is another man that we would be foolish to ignore in a race of this nature and he saddles the proven stayer Kingston Mines and the Dynasty 4yo Alghadeer. Kingston Mines has his first run in 17 weeks since a smart third in the J&B Urban Honey Stayers behind Ovidio on Met day. He is the kind of horse that has proven himself able to come out fresh and cannot be discounted.
Marwing Rides
Alghadeer is the mount of Weichong Marwing and made a timeous return to form at Turffontein last Saturday when staying on well to beat In The Cruise in a tight finish. He is a stakes winner on the poly at this track and could be ready to fulfil some of his early promise. Sean Tarry’s Serissa has been quite in and out of late but stays well and could play a role if able to run his race and relax early. Storm Warning travels from Gauteng and
Gr3 Lonsdale Stirrup Cup PAST WINNERS
2010
ran on steadily for third in the Caradoc Gold Cup. Well drawn here, he looks likely to run another honest race. Fortune Fella showed good pace in the same race but faded late to run out of the money. He is a kilo worse off with Storm Warning. Of the balance, Killua Castle is not getting younger and his form of late is quite ordinary. He looks unlikely to
feature but is the sort who could spring a surprise and run on into the money. The 2014 Gr1 Gold Cup winner Wavin’ Flag returns after a 69 week break and is likely to need it. Coltrane and Balance Sheet look the two most likely to fight this out. No Worries, Solar Star and Alghadeer may be best of the rest. It is best to go wide in the exotics!
given every chance from his 1 draw. Mike Azzie’s Greek Legend failed to fire and ran eighth, while last year’s winner Dynastic Power (25 on July log) ran a poor race. He failed to get lucky from his wide draw and was in no man’s land for much of the race. He has a mountain to climb in terms of July aspirations. This race has always been a July qualification pointer with the 2015 runner-up Power King going on to win the big one for Kannemeyer and Khaya.
Solid Speed was at 20 on the log issued on 4 May and he must get in on this performance. St Tropez was not in the top 25 on the log and he should come into contention, while Dynamic isin much the same boat. A relatively lightly raced 5yo, Solid Speed has now won 8 races with 4 places from his 15 starts and took his stakes tally to R828 550. He won the Gr3 Lonsdale Stirrup Cup last year, and then went into the Gold Cup, where he failed to feature.

Gr2 BETTING WORLD 1900 at Greyville last Friday
Kannemeyer’s Eye On The July
T
The value of having a top jockey aboard for those gamebreaking match winning touches was underscored in terrific style again at Greyville on Friday evening when Anthony Delpech was seen at his brilliant best. He did everything right to get Dean Kannemeyer’s Dynasty gelding Solid Speed home in a thriller to win the R400 000 Gr2 Betting World 1900.
he Avontuur sponsored Delpech is riding at the top of his game and after his sensational Guineas double for Justin Snaith at the same venue a fortnight earlier, he was back amongst the silverware – this time for Dean Kannemeyer, a man with whom he has formed a lethal combination over the past few months. Delpech’s move to ride freelance has invigorated his career and injected new purpose into his riding. Between him and agent Deez Dayanand, they just seem to be making so many good decisions with ride selections too – there is no question that he could have ridden half of the sixteen horse field in the 1900. But it is the decisions that are made once the gates are sprung that really count and that is where Delpech shows himself to be the complete jockey. With Solid Speed parked some ten lengths off Silver Spring’s pace at the halfway mark, Delpech found himself on a less than favourable strip of ground and with the pace being eased up, he made a snap decision to take his mount three wide. Those are the kind of conscious choices that confident jockeys make instinctively and besides the fact that it was to assist the 5yo gelding in maintaining his long stride momentum, it also gave him a clear launching pad into the straight – and
may have caused the rampant combination to hit the front 50m earlier than would have been ideal. But there was no turning back and Solid Speed galloped strongly at the 300m and looked to be going away from his field. Keagan De Melo had his own plans and having come from lengths behind the eventual winner into the straight, he had St Tropez eating up the ground, chased by The Conglomerate. In a thriller, Delpech had a race on his hands but got Solid Speed to dig deep – and lugging out into the left-handed whip, he came perilously close to hampering the chasing St Tropez, and unsurprisingly a race review followed. It was a touch of Durban July 2015 deja vu for Kannemeyer, who has endured his share of nervous moments post race with the Khaya silks. But no further action was taken and Solid Speed was the deserving official winner by a head in a time of 115,31 secs. He went off easy to back at 5-1 and started tote favourite. Joey Ramsden’s St Tropez was full merit for his second place and was having his first run in 24 weeks since finishing unplaced in the Summer Cup. Dynamic ran on smartly for third, with the runnerup’s stablemate The Conglomerate a further head back in fourth in an improved effort. The winner’s stablemate It Is Written was not disgraced in fifth 2,45 lengths adrift after being
He is a staying sort with a serious turn of foot and the 2200m of the July will be right up his alley. With Delpech likely to stick with Black Arthur, Stuart Randolph could find himself back in the Khaya yellow and black and out for a unique double. Solid Speed was bred by Willempie Engelbrecht Jnr and was selected and purchased for R600 000 at the Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 by Dean Kannemeyer and Form Bloodstock’s Jehan Malherbe.

The Merry Widow is out to maintain her 100% record
The classy Attenborough looks a good sort in the making
Gr3 KENILWORTH FILLIES NURSERY at Kenilworth on Saturday Gr3 CAPE OF GOOD HOPE NURSERY at Kenilworth on Saturday Joey Ramsden looks to have a very exciting prospect on his hands in the Markus and Ingrid Jooste owned colt Attenborough. The son of Western Winter could make it a May feature double when he contests Saturday’s R200 000 Gr3 Cape Of Good Hope Nursery at Kenilworth.
A
small field lines up for the 1200m feature and Attenborough is the standout after his facile win in the Listed Somerset 1200m three weeks ago. That was coincidentally Ramsden’s fourth consecutive win in the Cape feature and shows his shared dominance of the juvenile ranks with his cross Peninsula neighbour, Justin Snaith. A R2 million Cape Premier Yearling Sale graduate, Attenborough has won two of his three outings and in the absence of Somerset 1200 runner up Elevated, he looks a good thing. Snaith has two in the race and his previously undefeated Listed Summer Juvenile Stakes winner Sergeant Hardy proved most disappointing in the Somerset 1200 –after making the early running, the Captain Al colt compounded tamely to finish with just one behind him in the five horse field, and five lengths behind Attenborough.
Pulling Rank
Sergeant Hardy won his first two races on the trot and may be worth another chance. His stablemate Bishop’s Bounty returns after a break of ten weeks and was backed on debut to win the Summer Juvenile Stakes on Met day. He took off late to be beaten under a length by Sergeant Hardy and then won his next two on the trot.
There won’t be a lot between him and Attenborough on a line through Elevated and if near fit, he warrants inclusion. Mike Bass’s Our Mate Art was an eyecatching debut winner over the course and distance early in May. The Australian-bred son of Artie Schiller is the only other winner in the race and thus must harbour pretensions of earning. While bred for a little further, he is bound to have come on with the experience of the run under the belt and could surprise. The rest are still maidens.
Disappointing
Cream Soda Green ran Attenborough to a half length on his course and distance debut but then failed to follow up at his next start when a no show 3,60 lengths unplaced behind Moonrise Sensation. The son of Gimmethegreenlight will need to improve dramatically on that second try. Mike Stewart’s Icon King was unfancied on debut when a length off smart winner Newlands over 1400m. The son of Rebel King ran on steadily there and the topclass Richard Fourie retains the ride. It stands to reason that this may be on the short side for Icon King. Brett Crawford’s Nation Glow started at 25-1 on debut when running a well beaten third but finishing ahead of

Call The Captain
I
Champion sire Captain Al, currently on course to record his eighth consecutive leading sire of 2yo’s title, has dominated both the Gr3 Cape Nursery and Gr3 Kenilworth Fillies Nursery in recent years.
n 2015, Captain Al’s son Captain Chaos won the Gr3 Cape Of Good Hope Nursery, and daughters of the sire, Petala and Sublime Lady, filled the first two spots in the Kenilworth Fillies Nursery. Captain Al sired fillies have won the Gr3 Kenilworth Fillies Nursery on no four few occasions- Flower’s Angel (2009), Trinity House (2011), Wheredowego (2013), and Petala (2015). Remarkably, in 2009, Captain Al fillies Flower’s Angel and Possible Dream ran 1-2, while Captain Al daughters filled the first three home in 2013, and last year, Captain Al fillies finished first and second in the Kenilworth Fillies Nursery.
Just One Captain Al only has a single filly running in Saturday’s R200 000 Gr3 Kenilworth Fillies Nursery and that is unbeaten star filly The Merry Widow. The Drakenstein Stud owned filly was a convincing winner of the Listed Perfect Promise Sprint last time and looks a massive runner in the eight horse field. She is 3kgs better off with the exciting Mike Bass runner Live Life who ran on well but was left a half length short in the Perfect Promise Sprint. Felicity Flyer showed nice improvement and plenty of pace to stay on well for third there a further half length back and the daughter of
Noordhoek Flyer is another who is 3kgs worse off with The Merry Widow.
A Breeze The second of the Snaith runner is debut winner Nordic Breeze, who was slow out and eased running in the Perfect Promise Sprint. The daughter of Windrush finished fifth of seven and beaten 5 lengths – at 3kgs worse off, she too will have plenty of leeway to make up. The Australian-bred Chill Baby Chill is the last of Saturday’s runners to have contested the Perfect Promise Sprint. The daughter of Starcraft ran second last and 7,25 lengths behind the winner. That was disappointing following a smart postmaiden showing behind Miranda Frost (who ran below par!) . With Andrew Fortune up, Chill Baby Chill can be included in quartets in the small field.
Fast Brett Crawford’s speedy China Pearl came good at her fourth start when showing oodles of pace over Saturday’s track and trip to beat debutante Saint Janine. The daughter of Var could build on the confidence and can be expected to improve further. Joey Ramsden’s Don’t Stop Dancing was scratched from the Perfect Promise Sprint ‘not eating up’.

was a very impressive winner over the course and distance when popping up unfancied on debut. She showed a terrific turn of foot coming from lengths back to win well and we know that a Ramsden firsttime winner has to be above average. Greg Ennion’s Gypsy Beauty is the only maiden in the race and a brave entry given the credentials of the opposition. She looks held by Live Life on earlier form and has a place chance at peak.
Kicker The Merry Widow looks difficult to oppose with the Avontuur-bred pair of Live Life and Don’t Stop Dancing the dangers. Include Chill Baby Chill as a quartet kicker.

‘July Here We Come’
SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 27th - SUNDAY 29th MAY 2016 Grant van Niekerk salutes as Marinaresco cruises clear to beat Whisky Baron (Corne Orffer)
Gr3 WINTER CLASSIC
at Kenilworth last Saturday
”I
Owner Marsh Shirtliff let the worst kept secret in racing out of the bag at Kenilworth on Saturday with a simple ‘July, here we come’ after the Silvano gelding Marinaresco had made hacks of his opposition to win the R250 000 Gr3 Winter Classic, and make it two from two in the Cape Winter Series.
haven’t had a July favourite for a long time and I see our jockey is so confident he can drop his hands,” quipped Shirtliff after Marinaresco had toyed with his eleven rivals for an effortless victory in the second leg of the R1 million Winter Series. Winning rider Grant van Niekerk almost overdid the theatrics as his body language
screamed ‘hell, this is so easy’ – glancing left at the 50m marker before taking his foot off the accelerator and giving his mount a friendly tickle around the head. For a jockey who was so conscious of the costs of air tickets getting to Greyville 24 hours earlier, where he rode a great double, he seemed little concerned with the financial impact of what no doubt will come his way courtesy of the Stipes. Part owner Marsh Shirtliff,
who started out with trainer Greg Ennion back in the days of Dramdor and La Mancha, has to go back to 2008 when his best ever horse Pocket Power started favourite for the July at 28/10 – and landed up sharing honours in a dead heat with the 8-1 second favourite Dancer’s Daughter at 8/1. Pocket Power was victorious in the 2006 Cape Winter Series and was beaten into fourth behind Hunting Tower when attempting the July as a 4yo, the first time.
Trainer Mike Bass, who will saddle his last July runner this year, has four entered in the race, which includes two fillies – and Marinaresco will certainly boost the stable hopes of a fairytale farewell for their legendary boss. The Vodacom Durban July scoop is a bit of a marketing body blow for Kenilworth Racing, with both the boys and girls first leg winter series winners maintaining their 100% records – but both highly unlikely to take their places in what would have been a warming winter raceday climax to the respective trebles. But such is the lure of Africa’s greatest horseracing event and the big money that far outstrips the local cash bonus of R250 000!
With Marinaresco covering the 1800m in 112,46 secs, the winning margin of 0,40 lengths flattered the runnerup Whisky Baron – who also played second fiddle in the Guineas first leg. Royal Badge improved nicely to run third, ahead of the pacesetter Paladin. Assistant trainer Candice Robinson labelled Marinaresco a ‘real smart little horse’ and added that he has an amazing turn of foot. “Grant was a bit optimistic there! But he won so well. We don’t do a lot with Marinaresco as he lightens up a bit at home – I think he will go up for the July now,” she added with a broad smile commenting on the little fellow’s habit of pinning his ears back – “that’s why we
gelded him, he wanted to go for everything around him,” she said. Marinaresco has won 3 races with 5 places from 9 starts and took his stakes total to R531 325. He also picked up the BSA Added Value Bonus of R87 500. Marinaresco is a 2014 BSA National Yearling Sale graduate. He was purchased by Mike Bass Racing for R1,3 million. Bred by Mauritzfontein Stud, he is by Silvano out of the two-time winning Fort Wood mare, Gay Fortuna. The winner’s older half sister by Ideal World is a rather modest looking onetime winner. Role on 2 July – it is developing into one major racing spectacle!
Dollar Deputy R150 000 EAST COAST CUP (Listed)
R150 000 STORMSVLEI MILE (Listed)
at Greyville last Friday
T
The progeny of Go Deputy continue to make their mark and it was his daughter Deputy Ryder who underlined her courage and heart with a gutsy display to score a narrow but well deserved victory in the R150 000 Listed East Coast Cup at Greyville on Friday evening.
he 2016 Listed Queen Palm winner had caught the eye with a solid showing from a wide draw in her 2016 SA Champions Season opener when beaten a quarter length by Gallica Rose after doing the donkey work. But a few notches fitter, she was to turn the tables on her conqueror in style. Only ten fillies went to post for the support feature and it was hardly surprising to see the normally consistent joint topweight and former Gr2 winner Gallica Rose vying for attention with the Sean Tarry 3yo Intergalactic at the top of the betting boards. Grant van Niekerk always had Deputy Ryder within spitting distance of the leader Cassie O’Malley as Cape filly Tonya played the ham on the sandwich between the two for much of the early part of the race. At the 200m, Deputy Ryder looked strong but with Ma Choix finishing powerfully down her ouutside and Gathering Fame making up lengths from the middle, she had a race on her hands.
Showing extreme courage and raw ability, Deputy Ryder continued to roll and held her fast diminishing advantage to beat the lowflying Gathering Fame by a head in a time of 126,43 secs. The fancied Gallica Rose and Joburg visitor Intergalactic produced no shows and failed to fire – both finished out of the money in something of an exotic bet knockout for punters. Cape-based Jockey Grant van Niekerk rode a winning double on the evening, and other than highlighting the prohibitive cost of air travel, was pleased as punch. “I was glad when Mr Bruss told me to bounce and have her wherever she was comfortable. I thought I was gone at the 200m as they were coming from all sides – but she quickened well when I asked her to go again,” he said. Deputy Ryder has now won 5 races with 4 places from 14 starts and took her stakes tally to R387 100. She hails from a superb winner producing Lammerskraal family and is by Go Deputy out of the five time winning Red Ryder mare, Miss Ryder – who has produced a host of winners.

Captain’s Flame stamped herself as one of the undiscovered gems of the Cape’s 3yo filly contingent this season, when she produced the goods to register an easy win in the R150 000 Listed Stormsvlei Mile at Kenilworth on Saturday.
he Cheveley Stud bred daughter of Captain Al shot to prominence with a nice win in the Sabine Plattner silks in the Listed Sweet Chestnut Stakes in April and won the second leg of the R600 000 Winter Series for 3yo fillies on Saturday with an air of authority. The bad news for local racing followers is that, like Marinaresco in the colts and geldings series, Captain’s Flame will not line up on 26 June to contest the 2200m Winter Oaks and go for the R150 000 series bonus. Trainer Andre Nel confirmed on Saturday that his charge is likely to be shipped to
Durban to take her chances in the Gr1 Garden Province Stakes. “That’s how good we feel she is and we don’t see the cash carrot as enough incentive to stretch a filly of this class to go the 2200m,” he confirmed. And it certainly makes sense given the manner in which she has stepped up to a mile. On Saturday Aldo Domeyer had her out keenly from her 9 draw and she tracked Jane S Piddy for 100m before being confidently taken up to lead. At the 300m marker Captain’s Flame looked under a measure of pressure as Goodtime Gal went past her, but Domeyer knew what he had under him and Captain’s
Flame simply changed legs and kicked away to register a fluent 1,25 length win in a time of 98,93 secs. As in the Sweet Chestnut Stakes, Goodtime Gal chased her home. Domeyer said that his mount had broken the gates nicely and found a good position. Bred by Cheveley Stud, the winner is a daughter of Captain Al out of the onetime winning Fort Wood mare, Kindling. She cost R1,2 million on the National Yearling Sale. Captain’s Flame has won 4 of her 6 starts with 2 places and took her stakes to R290 475. She also benefitted from the BSA Added Value Stakes Bonus of R77 500.

Champions Day Picture it. Champions Day 2016. Although the exact details remain sketchy, according to eye witness accounts a senior racing authority was seen throwing a punch at a member of the public. That racing authority was Mr Larry Wainstein, CEO of the RA and until recently, a director of the NHA. An official complaint has been lodged with the NHA, although the alleged victim has yet to make himself known. Obviously there are two sides to every story – and the truth generally lies somewhere in the middle – so I make it a policy to afford people the benefit of the doubt before jumping to conclusions – no matter how tempting or deliciously gratifying those conclusions might be.
I
did request official comment / feedback on the matter and have done so on three separate occasions since the alleged incident occurred.
And each time Merle Parker responded politely, but firmly that the matter had not been attended to (which is not casting aspersions on Merle in any way – she is merely doing her job and relaying information). The incident occurred in excess of 3 weeks ago now and there has still been no official comment from either the NHA or the RA. As there is little the racing public loves as much the prospect of blood in the water (if not the parade ring), the deafening silence from the halls of power has only served to intensify the feeding frenzy. While the theories, claims and counter-claims grow ever more fantastic, it’s the industry as a whole that loses, as the scandal – alleged or otherwise - smears yet more muck on a community
that some might argue is grubby enough already, thank you. Although the matter clearly deserves comment, it is hard to decide on the correct approach. On the one hand, the incident is so absurd and the way it has been handled so poor that it practically begs for ridicule, but “WTF” is large bold letters would leave me well short of my required word count.
The unspoken message seems clear, “We will deal with this as and when WE see fit” On the other, it is yet another glaring example of local racing’s impotence (incompetence?) in the face of even the most basic PR exercise and
therefore deserves a good, hard look. While I have had a wellpublicised run in with Mr Wainstein in the past in which retribution was swift, brutal and very public, passing comment on his actions from my point of view is perhaps not prudent. However, as a racing fan and member of the greater racing community, this incident touches me as much as it does the next person as it is a reflection of the regard in which bodies such as the RA, the NHA and even the Racing Trust hold the public. The Racing Association website proudly lists photos from Champions Day, an article on how to get Twitter and follow racing and even a report on last weekend’s RA Feature Season Awards, what is conspicuous by its absence is a comment / statement / anything on the alleged Champions day incident. No confirmation, no denial, in fact, no word of any sort. And much the same goes for the NHA. The unspoken message seems clear, “We will deal with this as and when WE see fit.”
Why this is bad practice Racing is a sport (or a business, depending on your point of view) that depends on public support – and more importantly – public spend – to keep the lights on. One might even like to call those members of the public ‘customers’. As such, it is interesting to view this incident from a PR point of view.
There are a plethora of recent incidents to compare it against and had an authority figure in any other business physically assaulted a customer, that individual would immediately have been suspended from duties while the matter was investigated, there would have been a swift public statement from the relevant business authority assuring the public that the matter was in hand, shortly followed by either a public apology and reinstatement of duties, or alternatively a dismissal. Yet, despite our foreign posturing and supposed desire to be part of the international racing community, local racing insists on operating under the premise that we are special and somehow exempt from normal practice. So while those in authority (hopefully) try and find some time to coordinate their diaries, the rest of the world can take a number.
Let’s be objective
who patronise our Triple Crown series and fill two seats on the Racing Trust. So for the sake of argument (and for convenience – I am nothing if not mercenary) I am choosing to go with the sports moniker. If we take that a little further, then the internet helpfully defines a ‘sportsman’ as “someone who takes part in a sport, especially as a professional” or “a man who takes part in sports, especially of the outdoor type”. Another definition is “a person who exhibits qualities highly regarded in sport, such as fairness, generosity, observance of the rules, and good humour when losing.” In turn, ‘sportsmanship’ is defined as “ethical, appropriate, polite and fair behaviour while participating in a game or athletic event. When a basketball player plays by the rules, is fair to his opponent and is gracious when he loses, this is an example of sportsmanship.”
Before deciding whether (or how much) to be outraged by that (if it is indeed true and the attitude is one of arrogance, rather than just pitifully slow administrative procedures), it’s always a good idea to start with some definitions in order to get to the heart of the matter. Firstly, is racing a sport, or is it an industry?
Another defines it in the context of conduct as follows: “conduct (as fairness, respect for one’s opponent, and graciousness in winning or losing) becoming to one participating in a sport; fair play, respect for opponents, and polite behaviour by someone who is competing in a sport or other competition.”
A person who exhibits qualities highly regarded in sport, such as fairness, generosity, observance of the rules, and good humour when losing
Of course, there is the argument that Mr Wainstein (or any other racing official for that matter) is not employed as a sportsman and merely in an administrative capacity and should therefore be exempt from the above.
As the cost of bloodstock spirals ever upwards and we discuss horses in terms of shares, returns on investment and dissect them in terms of bottom lines (I doubt most bother much with real anatomy these days), it seems we are teetering ever closer to the term ‘industry’. On the other hand, racing is referred to as a sporting event, the Kentucky Derby is the ‘fastest two minutes in sport’, our jockeys are referred to in revered tones as sportsmen and locally, we go to great lengths to host jockey internationals, going so far as to bestow national colours on the chosen few. We even have the sanction of SASCOC,
Huh.
That is fair comment, but Mr Wainstein not only heads up the RA and takes pains to represent it in a very visible fashion on the podium, microphone and TV screen from all our feature race meetings, but is also (according to him) the administrator in charge of the fabled Racing Trust. As the guardian and representative of both these bodies, should this conduct be considered becoming or even appropriate? If yes, it’s certainly a novel approach. And if not, then why have none of these august bodies uttered a single word about it? Apart from his administrative responsibilities, Mr Wainstein is also a colour holder and thus falls subject to the same NHA rules as the rest of us. If an official and / or a member attempting to brawl with a member of the public
in the parade ring does not fall foul of the infamous Rule 71.1.26, then I really don’t know what does. And as the NHA traditionally calls for an inquiry faster than you can say ‘public forum’, it’s rather odd that they have chosen to remain silent on this for as long as they have. I tend to regard sport as a leisure pursuit and something to be done for fun, exercise and / or entertainment. But given the huge sponsorships, endorsements and revenue associated with sport these days, perhaps serious sport is more like serious business. If we are serious about our business, then it follows that we must also be serious about the people that relentlessly plough their hard earned cash into it on a continuous basis. If we are serious about clawing back support from other gambling options, sports and leisure activities, then we need to take a long, hard look at ourselves and decide whether we have any business even attempting that before we can look at the mirror and be proud of what we see.
As the NHA traditionally calls for an inquiry faster than you can say ‘public forum’, it’s rather odd that they have chosen to remain silent on this for as long as they have If we don’t and more particularly, if we don’t do it quickly, people are going to keep walking away until we remedy things. Or risk falling in a heap altogether. George Orwell famously described sport as follows, “Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.” Perhaps he is right. However, I recently came a cross another internet find which I rather like. It reads: “Not every day is a good day, live anyway. Not everyone tells the truth, trust anyway. Not everyone will love you back, love anyway. Not every game will be fair, play anyway.” It will be interesting to see what the halls of power decide.

Racing Is Full Of Cliques
The Pied Piper Rules I often get asked here in Singapore or by friends back home who read this weekly article, why I did not stay home if I am so passionate and proud of the South African product, writes Gareth Pepper.
A
lthough I am not a fan of airing dirty laundry, maybe a few facts will shed some light on the reasons why I am where I am. I did get my inspiration from the recent Mike De Kock interview with Mr James on Winning Ways recently. I have known Mr De Kock for many years, as my father Brett had the odd share in a horse with him from around the time I was born and it was his superstar Horse Chestnut and his efforts with him that was one of the reasons that made up my mind that I was going to be a part of this beautiful industry, in any way possible, for the rest of my life!
Lucky Break I was very lucky to have been given some airtime by Charl Pretorius when still working for Robin Bruss. I was a contributor on Freeracer and I had the confidence and belief in myself that so many 20 year old’s have! Charl was the first person that gave me a chance in the broadcasting world. His weekly podcasts were my first introduction to what I now do full time and without Charl and his constant support, I would have probably given it up quicker than I had started. Charl is one of my favourite people in racing and I will always be grateful to him for taking a chance on me. Love him or hate him, he has that no nonsense
approach to racing and I feel his efforts often go sadly unnoticed.
Tellytrack Step in Neil Pretorius. After gaining more confidence, I decided to approach the man In charge of Tellytrack at the time. It was probably the constant visits coupled with a great deal of begging and pleading that Neil finally gave me the thumbs up to try my hand at presenting. I quickly found my voice, gained confidence and was given more shifts. I enjoyed it immensely. Laff was a huge source of help and Inspiration and in Studio, as we all know, Shaheen Shaw is the viewers best friend, so I soaked up as much help and advice from him and he was always a great help. After sussing me out and getting to know me, Nico not only became a great sounding board and help, but a great friend too! Things were going well and I was flying along. I was oozing confidence and loving every second of it. Flying around the country, covering races on July Day and the likes I was a seriously happy presenter. Unfortunately Neil and his family were the victims of crime in Joburg and he understandably made the call to move back to the Cape.
Trouble – Then Hope New management was put into place and one manager in particular bowled
me a bouncer that knocked me right off of my feet. Me and several other presenters lost many shifts and it was apparent to us who the preferred ones were. (No fault of theirs, the scheduling of presenters was ultimately left to the new manager). After riding the storm, taking a huge financial knock which resulted in me having to rent the outside room at my Dad’s place and having to re-evaluate my whole career, I knew I had to adapt. I decided to try my hand at social media management and owner management and this proved to be successful. After a very trying time, things looked bright and a few opportunities opened up in the Cape. I was there every other week and I loved it so much I decided to make the move. I was lucky enough to be given the chance to work with Brett Crawford and he too was a massive help to me and my career. Brett, as you are aware, is a top class trainer and I still follow him and his yard very closely. He is a great man and his honesty and advice still rings clear in the back of my mind today.
There was one individual, who I shall name the Pied Piper, who knew everyone and was seemingly liked by all. The Piper was quick to throw some work and tasks my way and the more I helped and delivered results, the more he seemed to edge closer. What I soon discovered though, is that if you did not move to the Piper’s beat or even dared listening to any other tune, he would make things very tough for you. I have always been my own person and the constant bullying and mind games eventually became enough for me. I refused to take any part in the games and was quickly shunned. Not by one or two people, but by many. It quickly became apparent the Piper had many individuals under his spell and I was on the verge of giving up on my dream industry and any opportunities I had left. Life is remarkable and as this was all unfolding, I received a call from the Singapore Turf Club and as they say the rest is history.

Things were going well in the Cape and I quickly found myself working and mixing in the circles of various role players and professionals in the industry. Phumelela’s Steven Karam was kind enough to afford me a wonderful opportunity at Kenilworth Racing and when things were full steam ahead, I was the happiest I had been for a very long time. Now as we all know racing is full of its many cliques, But if you give it time and people get to know you, you often become close to like- minded individuals and they become friends. This happened and I was also reunited with many friends
At the end of it all, I still follow the racing intently, have lifelong friends because of this beautiful sport and will be forever grateful to many individuals named and not named in this short piece who had a big impact on my short career. Where to next you may ask? Well I am not even close to finished in Singapore. I am loving it here and I have a renewed vigour and energy when it comes to my work. I have not been this happy for a long time and I still have many goals to achieve here. Most importantly though, I am still and always will be proudly South African!

Carrying only 52,5kgs on Saturday, and with Corne Orffer shedding the pounds to make the weight, Chevauchee went off a popular favourite and didn’t let her supporters down – coming out of the pack at the 350m to hold her stablemate Beach Goddess to rather flattering head in a time of 71,80 secs. Trainer Brett Crawford confirmed that Chevauche was ‘probably looking for further’. “It is only her second start for me and her second run after a rest. I am going to try her around the turn. She has potential. Well done to
our jockey Corne Orffer for getting down to the weight.” “We probably hit the front too soon as they couldn’t pull me through. That’s why she stopped and had we been able to wait, she probably would have won by further.” Chevauchee who races in the Ridgemont Stud silks has won 2 races with 3 places from her 5 starts for stakes of R178 775. Chevauchee was purchased for Aus$ 180 000 by C Roscoe at the 2014 Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale. She was bred by Supreme Thoroughbreds and is by the ill-fated Sadler’s Wells star High Chaparral.

Off The Mat At Last! R150 000 SYRINGA HANDICAP (Listed) at Turffontein last Saturday
The promising Australian-bred Chevauchee found the right race to score her first stakes success when holding off her flying stablemate Beach Goddess to score an encouraging victory in the R150 000 Listed Olympic Duel Stakes at Kenilworth on Saturday.
t was a memorable race for Phillipi trainer Brett Crawford who saddled the top two – both of whom are transfers from other yards. Chevauchee won her debut over the course and distance for Joey Ramsden and after chasing subsequent Gr2 SA Guineas winner Bela-Bela home at her second outing, was being whispered as a likely Cape Fillies Guineas candidate. While that route never materialised, she is bred for further than what she tried on Saturday and looks to have the potential of good things to come.

Persian Rug has been a frustrating filly for her connections and punters. The obviously talented daughter of Ideal World once had everybody thinking that she was looking for ground to show her best. But dropped back to a mile at Turffontein on Saturday, she registered her first win in over a year.
he Mauritzfontein bred filly won her first two starts and then came out with a showy Gr1 third in the Thekwini Stakes at her next race. While the future supposedly looked bright for trainer Mike de Kock and his owners Natie Kotzen (his KZN assistant) and Steven Jell (a former assistant), it was not to be and that was it for Persian Rug – until the R150 000 Listed Syringa Handicap on Saturday. Facing a field of 12 opponents on the Turffontein inner track mile, Persian Rug was relaxed a few lengths off pacemaker Shepard One by Weichong Marwing, before pouncing at the 300m. Just as she looked to go away from them, Marwing had to ride hard as Fly Phillippa, in
receipt of a handy 5kgs, came to make a race of it. The two duelled for a few meters before Persian Rug asserted her authority to win by 0,25 lengths in a time of 98,67 secs and register her first stakes victory. The game Pennington Sands came on late for third. It is anybody’s guess where Persian Rug will be headed from here but hopefully the strong Marwing handling and the confidence of winning again will restore her enthusiasm. Persian Rug has won 3 races with 2 places from 11 starts for stakes of R290 625. She was bred by Mauritzfontein and is by the exciting Ideal World out of the twice winning Fort Wood mare, Queen Of Persia. That makes her a half-sister to Mike Azzie’s speedy Isphan (Tiger Ridge).

It’s An American Classic!
E
On a cold, rainy, dreary afternoon in Baltimore, the wattage from the smiles of those connected to Exaggerator could have lit up the town, from the Inner Harbour to Camden Yards, to Fells Point, and all the way to Pimlico Race Course.
xaggerator had given futile chase to Nyquist at Santa Anita, Keeneland, and just two weeks ago in the Kentucky Derby when finishing second, but on Saturday, in his fifth try, he had finally, memorably prevailed in the 141st Preakness Stakes, the second leg of the Triple Crown. “This is the only time when we’re part of the mainstream media,” said Keith Desormeaux, Exaggerator’s trainer. “It’s an American classic for a reason. To finally get to win one, it’s kind of hard to describe. What I’m feeling now is awesome confirmation of a lifetime of dedicating myself to finding and getting the best out of a horse.”
Family Affair Desormeaux won the race in concert with his brother, jockey Kent Desormeaux, who gave Exaggerator a flawless ride. He won it with the backing of Matt Bryan, who races as Big Chief Racing and has given Keith Desormeaux the financial wherewithal to pick out more-expensive yearlings. Desormeaux’s girlfriend, Julie Clark, works tirelessly as his assistant trainer. This was a victory for perseverance. It was Exaggerator who persevered most of all. This was his 11th lifetime start and his fifth start of the year. He has raced in California, New York, Louisiana, Kentucky and now Maryland and has fired almost every time, with five wins and nine finishes in the money. But until Saturday, he had never defeated Nyquist.
Pharoah Smiles By winning the Preakness, Exaggerator sent Nyquist to his first defeat and allowed American
Pharoah – who swept the Triple Crown last year – to retain his title as the only horse to have won the Triple Crown since 1978. “The most important thing is his ability to recover from his efforts. And he recovered from the Derby quickly,” said Keith Desormeaux, who said Kent’s first comment to him when he got back to the winner’s circle was, “Keith, he’s cooled out already.” “Most horses that run that effort, they’re sweating, bug-eyed,” Keith Desormeaux said. “He was totally calm.” The race, and the weather, were in Exaggerator’s favour. It rained much of the day, producing a surface similar to what Exaggerator thrived over when winning the Santa Anita Derby on April 9. And then the race unfolded at a scalding pace that left Nyquist vulnerable.
Hard Nyquist was sent hard from the gate to outrun Uncle Lino to his inside and Awesome Speed to his outside, but he and Uncle Lino sped the opening quarter in 22.38 seconds – the fastest opening quarter-mile in the race’s history – and Nyquist was in front after a half in 46.56 seconds and six furlongs in 1:11.97. He was slowing down, and the others were gaining, most notably Exaggerator, who had saved ground from the start and was ready to pounce. “I had an absolute dream ride,” Kent Desormeaux said. “I was able to inch forward and gain on the leaders slowly and quietly. From the three-eighths to the quarter, I was slowing him down, waiting. He felt like King Kong. When I pitched him out, he exploded.” www.drf.com
Vodacom Durban July
Money For Marinaresco!
E
The Durban July plunge on Marinaresco continues with a vengeance following his win – with scarcely believable ease – in the Winter Classic at Kenilworth on Saturday, writes Michael Clower.
ight days ago he was as big as 28-1 but now you will be lucky to get more than 10-1. Indeed Betting World slashed him from 18-1 to 8-1 joint second favourite with Abashiri on Saturday evening. Black Arthur still heads the market for the great Vodacom race, albeit easing from 7-2 to 9-2, while Friday night’s 1900 winner Solid Speed has been cut from 22-1 to 10-1 and runner-up St Tropez from 50-1 to 14-1.
Best Yet
Grant van Niekerk, beaten a short head on 55-1 shot Smanjemanje in the 2012 July, reckons this could be the one to put the record straight and said: “He gives me goose bumps. He is probably the best I’ve ridden, he is still maturing and he will
be a big runner in the July.” Mind you, it wasn’t all plain sailing. Marinaresco saw too much daylight early on and fought for his head with a race-losing intensity. “At one stage I was three wide and I panicked a bit,” said the jockey, echoing the nail-biting anxiety of those who backed the favourite down to 17-20. “But then I managed to get in and he switched off.” Van Niekerk cruised up with a double handful a furlong out and never had to ask his mount any sort of question. Indeed he was easing up well before the line – doubtless mindful of what the handicappers will do when they discuss it in video conference today – and put out his left hand, palm up, in a gesture that had the riders in the stands scratching their heads in bemusement. “It was just a salute,” he said but the stipes took exception
as well as R1 000 of his R14 000 percentage.
Bass Bombs
There are 40 above the Mauritzfontein-bred Silvano gelding in the July log but a five point increase – the official margin was less than half a length so it’s hard to see him getting more – would take out 14 of them. The selection panel have two wild cards at their disposal and Mike Bass’s last hurrah would surely present an impossibleto-ignore case, particularly carrying the famous Marsh Shirtliff colours. “He’s got to get a run now and he comes in nicely (at the weights). He’s a little machine,” said the trainer who was winning his eighth Winter Classic. “He’s only 15.1 or 15.2 but he has an amazing turn of foot,” added daughter Candice. www.goldcircle.co.za

Dan Schafer, who put up $1 million to secure a spot in the Pegasus World Cup, knows that virtually no one in the world of horse racing knows who he is. That could be because he’s never so much as owned a racehorse. Google him and you won’t find a thing.
am the mystery man in all this and I understand that,” Schafer said. “I almost want to stay that way. I am getting phone calls from people who don’t even know me, trying to figure out who the hell I am. Who is this Dan Schafer guy?” He is someone who has $1 million, a vision and an intense passion for the sport, and that’s why he bought one of 12 spots for the $12 million race. Schafer is 32 and describes himself simply as a racing fan. He lives in the Detroit suburbs, is involved in the pizza business (he declined to reveal the name of his restaurants and also politely declined to provide the TDN with a picture of himself) and started following the sport when very young. His grandfather would take him to the local tracks in Detroit and he was immediately fascinated by the spectacle of racing. “My grandfather, he was more of a gambler, nonetheless, going to track and seeing horses run always intrigued me,” Schafer said. While Schafer doesn’t like to talk about himself, he has no problem discussing racing, why he loves the sport so much and why he is so bullish on the Stronach Group’s creation of a $12 million mega-event. Already a racing fan, Schafer’s interest in the sport went up several levels in 2000 when, at just 16, he made a Derby Week visit to Churchill Downs and ran into Bob Baffert. “I just went there and was blown away by the tradition of the place, blown away by the spires, by just seeing something I had seen on television the previous 10 years of my life watching the Kentucky Derby,” he said. “I ran into Bob Baffert. I was just a 16-year-old kid and just knew him from seeing him win previous Triple Crown races. I was walking up to the front gate and I see this white Jaguar pass by with this man with shiny white hair and I
said to the people I was with, ‘I’m pretty sure that is Bob Baffert.’ I just waited a couple minutes, he got out of car and I walked up to him, shook his hand and introduced myself as a fan. He took a picture with me. He was extremely nice and that’s one of reasons that experience was so special to me.” Sixteen years later, Schafer had become a successful businessman and had the financial means to get involved in the sport. Yet, he wanted to be careful and wait for the right opportunity. When the creation of the Pegasus World Cup was announced, he said he didn’t have a moment’s hesitation about writing out the $1 million check to secure a spot–even though he still doesn’t have any horses. “Over the last four or five years, I knew I wanted to get into the game, but was cautious about the way I did it,” he said. “I knew when I jumped into the game I wanted to make a pretty strong investment and that I had a few options. I could go to auctions, maybe buy some yearlings, maybe some 2 year old in training, maybe make a $500,000, $1-million investment and see what could happen from there. Then this Pegasus World Cup was created and jumping into the sport through that option seemed like a no-brainer.” Schafer is among a handful of people who bought starting spots in the race, but do not own a horse with the credentials to run at that level. Like most, he will sit back and see what his options are. “I can sell my stock, I can lease my stock, I can make a deal with another owner to run their horse,” Schafer said. “There are a lot of options out there. Come January, there will probably be eight or nine slot owners who don’t have a horse for the race. When all is said and done, we’re all going to be looking for horses. I’m probably not going to really look at this until after the Breeders’ Cup. That way you can see who’s running hard in the Classic, who’s peaking at the end of the year. I feel like we’re going to see a lot of horses emerge as the racing season goes on.”
Schafer hopes to eventually build his own stable and start a horse of his own in the Pegasus World Cup, but he said he had no specific plans about how to go about doing so. No matter what Schafer does with his spot in the 2017 race or whether he aligns himself with the winner or an also-ran, it’s hard to imagine anyone more enthusiastic about the concept. Racing’s decline in popularity bothers him and he hopes to be one of the faces of a new generation of fans and owners. “I really believe people like myself are the future of this industry,” Schafer said. “I am speaking about my generation, millennials. I am speaking about kids that have never been introduced to this great sport. I am here to stay. I want to revolutionize the game. “I am part of a youth movement and I want to make sure we preserve this game for the youth, for our children and grandchildren. This is a sport so rich in tradition and continues to lose its way. It struggles to revolutionize itself and be relevant in a modern world.” He believes something like the Pegasus World Cup is exactly what horse racing needs and hopes that the global industry finds a way to link it, the GrI Breeders’ Cup Classic and the Gr1 Dubai World Cup into the “World’s Triple Crown.” “The U.S. has a Triple Crown, England has a Triple Crown, Canada has a Triple Crown; the world did not have a Triple Crown until now,” he said. “The Breeders’ Cup Classic, the Pegasus World Cup and the Dubai World Cup will make up the world’s Triple Crown. Tennis and golf have four majors and now the world has three majors in one of the greatest sports around. If you win this Triple Crown you are like Pegasus, you’re mythical. You’re at the top of the chain in the sport’s history. I am so excited to be a part of this.” You may not know Dan Schafer. But it sounds like you will soon.

£75 000 Jobs – But No Staff That is what owner Ronnie Arculli will have to pay to get last weekend’s runaway Haydock Handicap winner Red Verdon into the Investec Derby. The connections are contemplating an audacious assault on the Epsom Classic after the Ed Dunlop-trained son of Lemon Drop Kid sauntered to a fivelength victory off a mark of 88 on Saturday, leading most observers to note him down as a major contender for the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot.
A Horror Fall…
Left six jockeys hurt and one horse fatally injured at New South Wales track Taree on Monday. The incident was triggered when Bazza’s Boy, partnered by top apprentice Samantha Clenton, fell turning for home and brought down Blinkin Rules and Casino Bride. The carnage continued as Lady Lobban and Nonino were caught in the melee and both unseated their riders. Clenton was left with the most severe injuries and will undergo surgery on a broken collarbone on Wednesday.
There was a stable staff shortage in Britain last year; there is a stable staff shortage this year. Not everyone calls it a crisis, but plenty do. Trainers place job advertisements; not all of them get answered. A survey carried out by the NTF found, at a conservative estimate, the industry was operating with 500 fewer grooms and work-riders than required. Trainers face difficulties in retaining existing staff and recruiting new ones. “Staff morale is dipping all the time because people are under so much pressure. Stable staff get into the job because they love horses. They understand the working practices but we’re now having to ride more and more horses and look after more of them in the evenings. We’re losing the connection with the horse, which is why we got into the job in the first place,” said a source.
TECHNOLOGY Cattle Class THE KEY Racing.com has announced that it has reached a multi-year agreement with the Hong Kong Jockey Club to broadcast all 83 meetings from Happy Valley and Sha Tin racecourses into Australia each season. A joint-venture partnership between Racing Victoria and Seven West Media, Racing.com is broadcast on free-to-air channels , along with a Foxtel channel and on the Racing.com digital platform. “Technology is now driving aggressive competition in wagering globally and here in Australia the way racing has been traditionally delivered and marketed is certainly not immune from change,” said a Seven West Media spokesman.
Marinaresco won the Winter Classic like a good horse on Saturday but jockey Grant van Niekerk’s showboating theatrics cost him R1000. He was charged with a contravention of Rule 62.2.10, in that he saluted in a celebratory gesture prior to the finish line. After the talented rider had pointed out the cost of local airtravel at Greyville the previous evening, it was probably a silly thing to do in a non-pressured situation.
A Cunning Sav� �i� Linguist Rhin�?
& More Payne… Melbourne Cup winning jockey Michelle Payne is having further tests after a race fall at Mildura. Payne was conscious and moving all her limbs after Monday’s fall but was taken to the local hospital with abdominal pain. The scans appeared to be clear, but Payne tweeted just before 10 o’clock on Monday night that she would be tested further in Melbourne. ”Thank you for all the well wishes. Off to the Alfred tonight to check out Pancreas and liver. Through the vest.”
That’s what the Mike de Kock website labelled their no-nonsense boss after James Goodman found Stout Michael in top interviewing form on last Monday’s Winning Ways show, at the start of his annual Durban sojourn in which “all rooms face the sea” from his Umhlanga Mansion. James, the wily host, prompted thought-provoking comments on a variety of issues including AHS, handicapping, grooms fees, sand racing, his 2017 Dubai string, stipendiary stewards and golf.
The talented Run Rhino Run has been suspended indefinitely for causing interference. At his last start at Scottsville, he was pulling hard in the early stages, was unable to be assisted and despite the efforts of his jock, he raced wide on the latter part of the first bend and on the outside in the back straight. Trainer Alyson Wright, for whom he was having only a second run, thought his erratic behaviour was due to his ring bit.
The old home town will look the same as he steps down from the plane…While the national focus will be on Greyville this Saturday, it is great to see Andrew Fortune back in his old home town after an absence of over four months. The former champion heavyweight has seven rides on the Kenilworth programme and stands out as the rider to follow. The evergreen legend is in great form and is riding like a guy half his age.

Warren Kennedy
Down To Earth Jockey Although Alistair Cohen called Abashiri as the horses crossed the line in the SA Derby, the rest of the world wasn’t quite so sure and even the jockeys thought it might have gone the other way. The final result reflected that 0.2 of a length is the margin Abashiri clawed onto for Triple Crown glory. Fighting him tooth and nail to the line was Gavin van Zyl runner, Rocketball and the jockey who so nearly caused the upset of the Highveld season was Warren Kennedy.
About Warren Thirty-six year old Warren Brian Kennedy describes himself as a Durban boy born and bred. A son of the late Terrance Kennedy, Warren was not the first to follow in his father’s footsteps. “My father used to be a jockey, but gave up because of his weight. I don’t remember him riding, but he was always very supportive of my career. My brother actually applied to the Academy before me, but they rejected him and asked him to wait a year and apply again. “It was his Std 8 year and he had to make his matric subject choices and in the end he decided not to be a jockey and is now a chartered accountant.”
afternoons in the stables with him 7 days a week. I actually ended up boarding with him and staying with him for the final 2 years of my apprenticeship. Being in the stables in the afternoons taught me a lot about stable management and the horse itself.
“Just to win a race for the guys that are involved and get them happy about their horses and the game is what drives me”
“I was small at school and a lot of teachers suggested becoming a jockey. I was always the sporty one, so it was a natural progression.” Although he didn’t grow up around horses, Warren says being a jockey was something he was always determined to do.
“It taught me about being a horseman. The other thing he taught me was pace. He allowed me to do my thing in a race and most of the time, I drop my horses out. He taught me a lot about pace.”
“The year before I joined the Academy I used to go to a little riding school in Yellowwood Park and trot around just to get used to it. Then I applied, got accepted and it went from there. I joined in 1995 and qualified in 2000. We were 13 apprentices in my year, but there aren’t too many of my intake left that are still riding. I joined with the likes of Nicky Roebuck, the late Gift Funeka and Morne Winnaar.”
“My first win was in the Lady’s Pendant Stakes on Coded Missile at Fairview. It was actually a funny story – his usual jockey fell ill and got off his rides, so Mr Claassen put me on Coded Missile. It was a level weight feature, so there was no apprentice allowance and I won without any claim and beat Mark Khan in the finish.”
Unusual problem “I ended up signing my papers quite late because I weighed too little, believe it or not. I was 28kgs in my second year. The Academy gave me an ultimatum – they were just opening the Academy in PE and said I could either go there or they’d cancel my indentures. So I went to PE Sean Parker was running the PE Academy back then – and I joined Nic Claassen’s yard.”
Solid grounding “Nic Claassen was hard, but a fair man – one of the old school trainers – and he taught me very good work ethic. I worked mornings and
Fittingly, Warren’s first win came for Nic Claassen.
He is still pretty proud of that first one, but says “For me, every winner is enjoyable – there’s not really one win that sticks out more than the next – every winner that you can ride is a great experience for the owners and the trainer – just to win a race for the guys that are involved and get them happy about their horses and the game is what drives me.” “Within a few months, I became Claassen’s stable jockey and I rode many winners for him and the other trainers down there.” Most notably, Warren won the National Apprentice title in his final year, even though PE was only racing once a week at the time – an achievement he is justifiably proud of.
Getting noticed The life of a jockey is notoriously hard – on the body as well as the nerves - but after 16 years in the saddle, Warren seems to have found his stride with his second in the Derby catching the eye of more than just the Stipes. “It’s taken me a long time and I’d probably have preferred it to happen a little sooner, but I’m happy with where I am now and what the future looks like.” “It’s hard to get recognised,” he says frankly. “There are a lot of good riders around that don’t get opportunities. You see guys with 2 or 3 rides a meeting and they’re good riders, but just don’t get the chances. They get disheartened and get their backs up and that doesn’t help.” What keeps him motivated? “It’s basically the old adage, the wheel turns. Things are bound to come right eventually. You’ve just got to keep a positive attitude and persevere – everyone gets their turn in racing.” Warren has had his fair share of ups and downs and perhaps one of the most horrifying of injuries along the way. “I’ve had a few breaks – collar bones, wrists, ribs, that sort of thing. And I had a serious head injury in PE in 2008. A horse slipped in front of me, my horse fell over it and the rest of the field ran over me. I broke more or less every bone in my face. It took 3 surgeries and they had to cut me from ear to ear and rebuild my face,” he relates cheerfully.
“You’ve just got to keep a positive attitude and persevere – everyone gets their turn in racing” “The healing process took 4 months, but luckily it didn’t affect my confidence or my nerves in any way and I was happy to get straight back in.” The “getting entailed his
back in” successful
association with the Gavin Smith yard, a relationship that still continues. “I’m based in Durban now, which means it’s hard to get to PE on a Friday because of night racing in Durban, but I travel a lot and ride in PE on a Monday.”
Quintessential stable jockey Loyal and long-standing relationships are something of a hallmark of Warren’s career and he concurs: “I’m very loyal to a trainer once they give me an opportunity. I’m the quintessential stable jockey – I ride the bad with the good, no matter what.” Apart from his successful stint in PE, he has ridden for the likes of Geoff Woodruff and Mike de Kock and has ridden all over the country. His present association with the Gavin van Zyl yard came about more by accident than design. He explains, “I was actually riding a lot for Kom Naidoo at the time and decided I wanted to spread myself out a bit. I went and took a couple of horses for the Van Zyl’s and Gavin gave me some opportunities. “I won a few for them and they appreciated my feedback, so we just fell into each other’s laps. It’s been great, I get along with Gavin and Gareth and we work very well together. The communication is great and we all know exactly what to do and where to go with each horse.” “Some jockeys are lucky and fall into stables and get good horses immediately. With us it’s been a building partnership. We’ve restructured the stable and we’ve got some new horses coming in. I think by the end of this season and the beginning of next season, we should be firing.”
“Every stable strives to have good horses, but the Group 1’s are where you get noticed and we’re all working very hard to get there. Gavin is very involved with his owners and the stable and having his sons working for him, the support structure is huge.
“I’m the quintessential stable jockey – I ride the bad with the good, no matter what” “You can see how he operates, trying to fill the stable and be as strong as he can. We all just knuckle down and do our thing and it is great to see that starting to come to fruition. We’re hoping Rocketball can prove us and hope his Derby run wasn’t just a fluke.”
Rocketball and THAT ride “We went into the Derby with the idea of not thinking about beating Abashiri, but getting the trip as best we can. Rocketball is a very strong individual. We were confident he was going to see the trip, but the trick was to get him to settle as he can overdo it in a race. Fortunately the pace was on and he settled beautifully.
“The race went well for me – I had Abashiri on my inside in the home straight and my horse travelled really well throughout. When I asked, he quickened beautifully. About 500m out, Abashiri hit the front and he was obviously the class horse and the one to beat. I thought running second to him would not be a bad thing and tried to keep my place. “Four hundred out nothing was changing. Three hundred metres out, Rocketball started to find another gear. A hundred and fifty metres out I could see Abashiri starting to flounder, but we just couldn’t get there in time. It was unfortunate, but take nothing away from Abashiri,” he adds sincerely, “he ran a great race.”
Daily News 2000 Fluke or not, Rocketball has drawn 1 for Saturday’s Daily News 2000. “We’re expecting a big run and hoping for a top three finish and from there on to the July.”

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 27th - SUNDAY 29th MAY 2016
On Saturday….Gr1 Irish 2000 Guineas
Guineas Stars Clash At Ascot? Hugo Palmer is hungry for a fresh fight between Galileo Gold and his Irish 2000 Guineas conqueror Awtaad in a Royal Ascot humdinger likely to be graced by a third Guineas winner in The Gurkha.
T
he St James’s Palace Stakes in 22 days’ time is building up into one of the races of the season and Palmer believes better ground could lead to a different outcome to that at the Curragh on Saturday, where Awtaad enjoyed the testing conditions to master the Newmarket 2000 Guineas winner by two and a half lengths. Awtaad’s connections on Sunday said they were inclined to keep the son of Cape Cross at a mile instead of tackling the extra four furlongs of the Investec Derby, a stance echoed by Aidan O’Brien over his French Guineas winner The Gurkha, who is a top-priced 7-4 favourite for the Ascot Group 1 on June 14.
Decider
Palmer, who scratched Galileo Gold from the Derby last week, said: “The St James’s Palace is meant to be the championship decider between the two Guineas winners and if The Gurkha comes as well what a race we have to savour - better than the Derby. “I’m not afraid to take on the Curragh winner again on better ground. It’s a very exciting prospect that I’d relish and would be fantastic for racing. The winner was exciting on the ground at the Curragh and might be better on good ground, but we’ll certainly not shy away from taking him on again.” Palmer revealed his Curragh runner-up blew for 30 minutes afterwards, compared to five or six following his Newmarket success, and his participation at Ascot, for which he is a bestpriced 5-1, with Awtaad at 4-1, will hinge on how he recovers.
Heavy
Palmer said: “He ate up and was sound and bright this morning. But the St James’s Palace would be his third Group 1 in six and a half weeks and there will be absolutely no hiding place. “The way he was blowing showed how much harder he found it. There’s always the question about how significant a mark it has left on him. But early indications are he took the race well. “We want to win the St James’s Palace and go to the Sussex Stakes as worthy favourite. We always thought he’d finish the year in the QEII at Ascot, but with the likelihood of soft ground there in October it brings the Breeders’ Cup into play.”
Grounded
Reflecting on the tactics of a contest in which Frankie Dettori, drawn in stall one, bravely darted Galileo Gold up a gap on the inside rail, only to find Chris Hayes and Awtaad had flown on the outside, Palmer said: “Frankie had three options. To do what he did, to have gone forward and never been left alone or to have dropped out, gone around and followed the winner. But on that ground I suspect the result wouldn’t have been any different. “The winner relished the ground and we’d have always been a good second. If we’d been drawn in stall eight with the winner in one and boxed in like we were, and we had first run, he might have still come past us.” Like The Gurkha, Awtaad, who gave veteran trainer Kevin Prendergast his first Irish 2000 Guineas triumph since 1976, is still engaged at Epsom.
On Sunday…Gr1 Irish 1000 Guineas
Minding Beaten In Rousing Finish
Just like Galileo Gold in Saturday’s Irish 2000 Guineas, Minding was unable to complete the Newmarket/Curragh double as the Adrian Keatley-trained 12,000 guineas purchase Jet Setting outbattled the 4-11 favourite, who reportedly banged her head in the stalls before the start, in a thrilling finish.
J
et Setting, who was supplemented at a cost of €30,000 after finishing ninth - almost nine lengths behind Minding - in the 1,000 Guineas, was held wide by Shane Foley rounding the bend and held a clear lead early in the straight.
Effort
As at Newmarket Ryan Moore was prominent on Minding, working his way through the gears and asking his mount for her full effort just before the two furlong marker. But Jet Setting did not fade like those around her at Newmarket had, and instead - on rain softened ground - the pair fought it out all the way to the line with little more than the margin of victory, a head, between them throughout. The ten lengths they pulled clear of the third, Now Or Never, suggested Minding produced a similarly strong finish - but Jet Setting, bought at the Tattersalls autumn horses in training sale last October from the Richard Hannon yard, proved more than a match. “It’s a dream come true,” said Foley after landing his first Classic. “She’s a tough little filly and ran a blinder at Newmarket, the ground was too quick that day. I’ve been doing a rain dance all week, soft ground and a stiff mile is ideal.” The winner was inserted at 8-1 by Paddy Power in their Coronation Stakes betting at Royal Ascot, while Minding was pushed out to 11-8 for the Investec Oaks at Epsom by Betfair’s sportsbook.
Surface Keatley, who began training in 2014, suggested the going might determine his stable star’s next target. He said: “She loves being in front and a bit of soft ground. She was unlucky at Newmarket, getting bumped in the final furlong, and the ground was too quick. She justified her supplementary fee today. “She has an entry at Ascot. She wants a bit of ease in the ground so we’ll have a look and go from there.” Minding’s trainer Aidan O’Brien was keen not to deflect any glory from the winner, but explaining the injury sustained by the favourite in the stalls, said: “Ryan said she anticipated the gate and banged her head, grazing the skin down the side of her face and nostril.
Great Ride “It’s just one of those things and she ran very well but Adrian had his filly in super shape and Shane gave her a great ride. “We were delighted to be second and hopefully she’ll be grand. Her sinus burst and the blood came down her nose and you can never know what kind of effect that has, but it obviously wasn’t a positive.” On whether Minding will still go for the Oaks, O’Brien added: “It was a bit of an afterthought coming here, we skipped a piece of work and brought her here instead and I don’t think there will be any change of plan.” www.racingpost.com
Loser That Stole A Nation’s Hearts
Winning Isn’t Everything! QUITE a bit actually (well, sort of). They’re both mares, they both have “unblemished” records and they both won the hearts of their respective nations. Despite never getting anywhere near the winner's circle, the sluggishly slow Haru Urara – which means “Glorious Spring” – transcended the sport and became Japan’s most celebrated racehorse. Her faithful backers were always on a one-way ticket to the poorhouse but they didn’t care, seemingly falling in love with her never-say-die attitude.
Popular “I don't really know why she's so popular,” trainer Dai Muneishi said ahead of her 106th start in 2004. “But I guess the biggest reason is that the sight of her running with all her heart despite having lost more than 100 times gives comfort to people's
hearts. “She runs at full gallop no matter what. That's her style.” Most winners never receive the honour of a victory lap but on one occasion Haru Urara was given a champion's reception after plodding home for a well-beaten 10th. The leaden-footed chestnut was dubbed the “shining star of losers everywhere” and became so popular she had a pop song written about her, starred in a commercial for a supermarket chain and attracted attention from Japan's most powerful people. “I’d like to see Haru Urara win, even just once. The horse is a good example of not giving up in the face of defeat,” Japan's then Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi said.
Carrots Koizumi presented the brave galloper with a 100kg bag of carrots for her service to tourism and the public

likened her difficulties to their own during a time of economic hardship. “We identify her losses with [our own] in a time of
recession and feel that if we do our best for long enough we will win in the end,” one punter told the Telegraph in 2004.
At the height of her “success”, betting tickets placed on Haru Urara were used as omamori – a type of goodluck charm that is believed to help prevent traffic accidents. The not-so-mighty mare was the ultimate loser but she was also a saviour – at least for the financially struggling Kochi Racecourse. In 2004 the Kochi track located in Kochi City on the island of Shikoku - was on the verge of bankruptcy despite receiving a bailout from the government. But as Hara Urara’s loss column grew, so did her star power. Punters headed to the races in thousands to watch her try her best, which of course wasn’t very good at all.
Drawcard Crowds swelled from an average of 1500 to 5000+ and on one occasion the club was forced to open the
gates early as 13,000 people showed up to watch - and bet on - the loveable loser. The sheer amount of money wagered on the fourlegged celebrity meant she occasionally started favourite, even if she was never a chance of actually winning. Punters were unremorsefully doing their dough in millions and booming ticket sales and wagering turnover lifted the battling race club off the canvas. Following her lengthy and ultimately unsuccessful racing career, Haru Urara was donated to a small farm outside Tokyo. While she's no longer a prominent celebrity, she still has plenty of adoring fans, with the farm overwhelmed with donations following a public request for support. Haru Urara retired with five seconds, seven thirds and of course zero wins to her name from her 113 starts. www.punters.com.au

War & Peace Jooste star Act Of War for Summerhill
S
When the sun rose over the Mpofana just after six on Sunday morning, it heralded a new dawn for Summerhill. As perfect a May day as it was destined to be, it also celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the arrival at the farm of a former star of their stallion assembly, National Emblem. Here was the great circle of life in renewal mode again.
ummerhill has long-envied Drakenstein Stud its magnificent dual Horse of the Year sons of Dynasty, and Mike Sharkey his standing of Dynasty himself and his 4-time Group One-winning stallion, Jackson, at Highlands. The arrival on Sunday of a Group One-winning dynastic scion of this acclaimed strain, not only appeased their envies, but also solicited a sense of déjà vu. More than once, Markus Jooste has acknowledged the role of Summerhill in floating his “breeding” boat, and while in Klawervlei, the former champion breeders had spawned a Gulliver in their own Lilliput, Act Of War’s occupation of his new stall in KwaZulu Natal not only marks a vote of faith in the region’s breeding community, but he represents the salivating prospect of accessing one of the best-performed sons of one of history’s best stallions. You have to hand it to the “gang in green”: some people say all this money chasing so few glories impacts the romance of the game. It doesn’t. Picking horses remains the ultimate lottery. Yes, of course it’s about facts, and they can be fed into a computer. But it’s especially about instincts, which most times can’t even be defined, let alone computerised. Horses, as they always will, refuse to conform to the rules of probability and good order. Often enough, heart triumphs over blood and brawn, though “heart” is often a product of both. For all the uncertainties in the “picking” process, there is an uncanny resonance between the rewards they
reap and the cash they splash, particularly when the strike rate of the “Mayfair” boys is compared with that of their illustrious counterparts in the international fold. You may agree that given his lineage, it wouldn’t have called for a sage to predict the excellence to which Act Of War aspired on the racecourse: his father is a champion of the breeding shed and his “mom” a Broodmare of the Year, but we forget that at the time of his acquisition, both his parents had yet to achieve the giddy heights by which hindsight now judges them. At the time, neither Jackson nor Beach Beauty had revealed the full range of their talents, and there was no sign yet of Legislate or Futura. Besides, it was precisely because of Act Of War’s brilliance that his mother, Si Senorita, was anointed the nation’s number one producer. Six wins on the trot, eight victories and two runnersup in his first ten starts would commend any young thoroughbred of his origins for a stud career. But, that’s only half the Act Of War story. A towering, athletic beast of princely proportions, not even the casual racegoer could’ve mistaken his presence and the elegance of his action for anything but the belongings of a comet in the making. “Not only was he the best miler of his generation, he was also one of the best milers I have ridden. Genuine, exactly the type to go to war with”. That’s what Anton Marcus thinks, and when he speaks, even the church mice listen. The Cape Guineas (G1) is many people’s idea of the principal “stallion-maker” on the South African turf calendar.
Both of the country’s standout domestically-campaigned stallions, Captain Al and Dynasty himself, shone in that classic. Yet of all the glittering performances the race has produced over the decades, few stand comparison with Act Of War’s facile disposal of the previous season’s generational champion, Harry’s Son. It wasn’t just a matter of who he beat though. It was the manner of the beating that counted; the same “X-factor” that demolished his foes in the Selangor Cup (G2), the Cape Classic (G3), the Langerman (G3) and the Winter Juvenile Stakes (L), the Winter Guineas (G3) and the Matchem (G3). Sad that a little matter of a “suspensory” has robbed fans of the spectacle of his reappearance in the Gold Challenge. We know though, that with the Acts Of War of this world, there’s usually an heroic ending to the tale. In this case, racing’s loss has been KZN breeding’s gain. Derek Brugman, Racing Manager: Mayfair Speculators says: “Act Of War was something special from day one. Horses that work like he did in the mornings, leave no uncertainty about their ability. He achieved a career high rating of 117 for the extreme ease with which he won the Cape Guineas (Gr.1). This performance placed him on a par with the best sons of Dynasty in the land. He had such a phenomenal turn of foot that at one stage, Anton and I toyed with the idea of running him in a Group 1 sprint.A multiple Group winner at two and three, he is sure to pass his precocity, class and great temperament onto his offspring. We look forward to racing them in the near future.”

is son Bullards Alley, who provided trainer Tim Glyshaw with the first graded winner of his career, romped home to score an impressive victory in the Gr3 Louisville Handicap at Churchill Downs. The four-year-old gelding, who was ridden by Francisco Torres, looped into contention after tracking a slow pace and went on to prevail by 2 1/4 lengths over Johns Kitten. Roman Approval was another halflength back in third in a field of six older horses. His trainer was delighted with the win in the $100 000 contest, saying, ““I entered with the idea of running if the race came off [the turf].He’s the nicest horse in our barn. Cisco rode him great.” Bullards Alley, who is out of a Kris S mare (and is thus bred on similar terms to Flower Alley’s champion
son I’ll Have Another), has now won five times, with his previous wins including the Woodchopper Handicap. His Gr1 Travers Stakes winning sire, Flower Alley, is enjoying another fantastic year in 2016, with his top performers this season including G1 Gulfstream Park Handicap winner Lukes Alley, who has won or placed in 12 of 14 outings and has earned over $750 000 in stakes. Flower Alley, who is currently the 19th leading Turf Sire in North America (he ranks above the likes of Arch, Distorted Humor, Galileo, Hard Spun, Speightstown and War Front on the list), has 17 stakes winners to his credit, including US champion, and Kentucky Derby winner, I’ll Have Another. Fully booked in his first South African season last year, Flower Alley’s eagerly anticipated first SA foals will arrive in 2016. www.capebreeders.co.za

Futura and Legislate - both sons of Dynasty are now stallion ‘buddies’ at Drakenstein Stud in the Cape. Actually, the term ‘buddies’ might be a little off the mark considering what Dave Mollett overheard in the stallion barn.
utura just could not shake his nightmare. He’d dreamt that his old foe, Legislate, had strolled into Drakenstein and pinched all his girlfriends. He got up, put his head over his stall and his nightmare became a reality. There - in the next box - was Legislate with Mrs Gaynor Rupert feeding him carrots. When Mrs R left, the two champions had the following conversation. Futura: So the grapevine got it right. I’d heard you might be on the way here, but actually felt you might be off to Singapore because of your coowner, Dennis Evans. Why Mrs R wants you here when they’ve got me here is baffling. I’m surely Dad’s best son. Legislate: What dribble. My name is in the record books as a July winner - yours isn’t. You might have done the Queen’s Plate double, but it’s the July winners that people remember. Also, have you forgotten the 2015 Rising Sun Gold Challenge when all you saw was my backside. Futura: Yes, but if you can remember that far back, you’ll know it was a different story in the Champions Cup a few weeks later. What’s your excuse for that? Legislate: It was the end of a hard season and I wasn’t feeling myself. Futura: Oh, yet another excuse. You’re good at that and we had another one in the Drill Hall a couple of weeks ago. Justin said you looked
lethargic in the parade ring, but I know the real story because my former stablemates told me. They say that on unloading off the truck at Greyville, you made a pass at Bela-Bela. She apparently said: “Keep dreamin’, Oupa! So then you went in a huff and the last thing you wanted to do was race. Pity those poor punters who sent you off favourite. No real big surprise when I read it on Facebook. You’ve never liked Greyville and had a tantrum there in the Drill Hall the previous year when kicking the stalls. Also, you needed the help of the stewards when winning the July which you are forever bleeting about. Legislate: Well, as many pundits agree, I deserved the July verdict. I’d like to have seen how you’d have got on taking on a tank of a horse like Wylie Hall who thought he was in a boxing match, not a horserace. As far as “Bela” is concerned, she’s not a full box of chocolates. Apparently, after the Premier’s Challenge she had a crush on Legal Eagle - loved to have seen her face when she found out he was a gelding. Futura: Now, about our new home. As first here, I’ve got the advantage of checking out the “chics” and - with only Trippi as a serious rival and he must be 19 - I’ve got a few winks back, I can tell you. Also, Leggy, you’ve got to consider the Johnno Freeman factor. He rules the roost down here as far as stallions are concerned, but he’s probably got to get a few bob back on me after he and Jack Mitchell
bought out Ian Longmore. Now, that can work in my favour. Johnno will want me to produce some classy types that he can get some big bucks for at the pre-Met CTS Premier Sale. Legislate: That brings me to one worrying factor. Yes, we’re both Equus “Horse-of-the-Year” and if you’re a breeder you’ll surely prefer us to another of Dad’s sons, Irish Flame. But we both ran shockers in the J&B Met where those Highveld raiders, Smart Call and Legal Eagle, made us look pedestrian. I suppose you’re going to say Smart Call distracted you, but the person I really feel sorry for is your regular jock, Glen Hatt. He told Molly after the race that “he couldn’t believe what he was seeing” with your no-show. Futura: Yes, I missed Glen - no-one disputes Bernard is a great rider as he showed on Pocket Power, but somehow I jelled with Glen. We were a terrific combination. You might remember what Brett said about me after completing the Queen’s PlateMet double. “These horses don’t come by often in our lifetimes.” Doubt anyone ever said that about you. Legislate: “Well, all I can say is that the Equus panel had no hesitation in naming me “Horse-of-the-Year” in 2014. Like I said, breeders will remember I was a July winner - just like Dad. Word will have already got round the ladies at Drakenstein that I’m the latest pin-up arrival. The start of the covering season can’t come fast enough. Courtesy of Racing Express

Five of the nine races at Port Elizabeth’s turf meeting on Sunday were run over 1200m and the fastest of these was the MR88 Handicap won by the Western Cape raider PERCIVAL. Sent off a joint favourite at 33/10, Andre Nel’s charge was soon up handy. He ran on strongly over the final 400m and with the rest comfortably beaten he got the better of the running on COVARIANCE by a half. The Gr3 East Cape Derby over 2400m topped the bill and here a bit of an upset was to be had when CAPTAIN SPLENDID landed the spoils. A stable companion to the well-supported 13/10 favourite, the 16/1 shot was content to idle along at the back for most of the journey. Once in the straight though he picked them off one by one and under a welljudged ride from Lyle Hewitson he got up to deny the deposed favourite WELSH EMPEROR (14/10 out to 2/1). The supporting act was the listed Dahlia Plate for 2yo’s over 1200m and here we saw another impressive performance from

Nibbled at on course into 5/1 from 13/2, Scott Kenny’s charge was always handy. He ran on stoutly at the business end of the race and in a thrilling three way finish he got the verdict over the hat-trick seeking MIRACLE BUREAU by a half. They also ran three races over 2000m and quickest against the clock in these was HIGH DRAMA in the MR87 Handicap. On leaving the stalls it was LEEULOOP JET (sweating) who elected to make the running whilst the son of Trippi was content to amble along in the rear. He began to take closer order going through the 500m and under a well-judged ride from Richard Fourie he got the better of NETFLIX by just under a half.

He was ridden to lead as they approached the 400m marker and comfortably accounted for SHOTGUN RIDER by two and a half. The fastest of the six races run over 1600m was the not so lucky last, a MR68 Handicap won by the 2yo in open company UNAGI. A fluent winner in maiden company against his own age group last time out, Gary Alexander’s charge was soon up handy.
He was ridden to lead as they approached the 300m pole and drew clear easily from there onwards to score by five and a quarter. Race 4 on the card was a maiden plate for the girls over 1450m and here we saw a smart performance from the 2yo in open company GOLDEN ATTITUDE.

The two remaining races were both staged over 1400m and stopping the clock in the fastest time here was AWESOME ADAM in the MR77 Handicap. Positioned close up in sixth early on, Michael Azzie’s charge was ridden to lead shortly after passing the 400m pole and was made to work all the way to the wire by the rallying pacemaker MENDOZA’S MELDODY who went down by less than a half.

Mighty Mare To Dominate Classics
H
The legacy of the great mare Urban Sea (Miswaki) shows no sign of abating any time soon. While the 1993 Arc de Triomphe winner died in 2009, her descendants continue to shine in major international races the world over, writes Sarah Whitelaw.
er great son Galileo, who once again is atop of the GB/Ire General Sires List, appears to hold all the aces for the upcoming Investec Derby/Oaks meeting. Currently, Galileo sons The Gurkha, US Army Ranger, Ulysses, Port Douglas and Deauville, are all prominent in the market for the Investec Derby, with another son, Midterm, another potential candidate. His son, former unbeaten juvenile Teofilo (Galileo’s best sire son to date), also has a lively contender for this year’s great classic in the form of 2000 Guineas runner up Massaat. The latter was earmarked for the Derby following his great run in the Newmarket classic and has been quoted as a 16-1 shot for the big race. Should Galileo (who himself won the race in 2001) score in the 2016 Investec Derby, it will be a fourth time that a son of his has won this Epsom classic –with the likes of New Approach,
Ruler Of The World and Australia having won previously. Should Galileo reach this milestone he will become the second son of Sadler’s Wells to do so, with the late, great Montjeu having sired four Epsom Derby winners. Sadler’s Wells has also enjoyed a remarkable run of success in the Derby –he himself sired two Epsom Derby winners, and the name of Sadler’s Wells can be found in the pedigrees of seven of the last ten Derby winners. Galileo, also broodmare sire of 2016 classic winners Galileo Gold (Paco Boy) and La Cressonniere (Le Havre), appears to have a strong hand in the Investec Oaks too. His representatives include 1000 Guineas winner, and early favourite, Minding (also quoted among the fancies for the Derby) and the blue blooded Coolmore, and Listed Salsabil Stakes winner Pretty Perfect. Remarkably, the progeny of Galileo have now won each of the English, Irish and French classic races at least once –an achievement his own sire failed to accomplish!
To Sea (Invincible Spirit), could yet add further gloss to his dam’s remarkable career – he is represented by his first runners this year and was given an early quote of 14-1 to end 2016 as the leading first crop sire (by winners). This remarkable family was given yet another boast when Knife Edge (Zoffany) won the recent Gr2 MehlMulhens Rennen (German 2000 Guineas). That colt is a direct descendant of Anatevka – the granddam of Urban Sea herself.

Outstanding
Stars
Urban Sea’s potential Epsom dominance does not end with her son Galileo, however. Her other great son Sea The Stars (who already has an Epsom classic winner to his credit in the form of Oaks winner Taghrooda) is
New Stallion Off The Mark - GOLDEN SWORD
Golden Sword Looks Sharp
B
It was perhaps fitting that Mike de Kock would saddle the first winner of the high class Timeform 122 rated Golden Sword. The son of High Chaparral’s athletic daughter Belle Rose opened her account over a mile at her third start, at the inaugural meeting held on the Vaal Classic track on Thursday.
red by Summerhill Stud and racing in the internationally recognisable Al Adiyaat South Africa blue and yellow, Belle Rose showed her appreciation for the very fair track when staying on strongly to beat the much fancied Legend Seeker. De Kock’s admiration of Golden Sword is well documented: “He was the best horse of a classy generation in my overseas string. At his best, he was a serious international competitor,” he said. The lovely Belle Rose was purchased by Form Bloodstock for R475 000 at the 2015 CTS Johannesburg Ready To Run Sale. Interestingly she caught the eye of a few judges on the esteemed RTR panel – she was a selection on the short-list of such noted experts as Joey Ramsden, Michael Roberts and Sean Tarry. Belle Rose is well related, being out of the four-time winning Qui Danzig mare , Vin Fizz, which makes her a half-sister to the exceptional Gr1 performer Pierre Jourdan (Parade Leader) and more recently, Champagne Haze (Kahal). European racing fans will remember the Graded Stakes winning Golden Sword, a winner of four races from 1400 – 2400m, and more than R6.7million in prize money, for his consummate victory in one of the principal Derby trials, the Gr3 Chester Vase. It is arguable though that Golden Sword’s finest moment came in the Investec Derby at Epsom, where he was beaten a tad over
Golden Sword
the sire of French contender Cloth Of Stars, an impressive winner of the recent Gr2 Prix Greffuhle. Remarkably, both Galileo and Sea The Stars won the Derby of their respective yearmaking Urban Sea one of just 11 broodmares who produced more than one winner of the Blue Riband. Urban Sea is also the second dam of recent Gr2 Derrinstown Derby winner Moonlight Magic- a Cape Cross sired three parts brother to Sea The Stars and to Gr2 UAE Derby winner Khawlah. Just once beaten in four starts to date, Moonlight Magic has been given a quote of 10-1 by Ladbrokes (at the time of writing).
Remarkable
Urban Sea’s last foal, Listed Blenheim Stakes winner Born
Another horse who has established an outstanding record in the Epsom classics is the now retired Darley sire, Cape Cross, sire of recent Irish 2000 Guineas winner Awtaad. Not only is that son of Green Desert (and full brother to local sire Great Britain), sire of 2015 Investec Derby hero Golden Horn, but he is also the sire of Sea The Stars and Ouija Board. The latter not only won the Oaks back in 2004, but went on to produce Derby winner and young Coolmore sire Australia to the cover of Galileo. The Investec Oaks is due to be run on 3 June, with the Derby set for the following afternoon, and it looks as if the names of Cape Cross, Galileo and Urban Sea could once again be to the fore!
Preakness Winner Continues Male Line Dominance
two lengths by the world champion, Sea The Stars. With less than 200m to go, Golden Sword looked to cause the upset of the decade, as he battled it out with Sea The Stars going to the line. While in the care of Mike de Kock, South Africans and those in the Gulf will recall his rattling finishes from behind in Dubai, where he ran the fastest 2000 metres ever, a record which still stands. He is by dual Breeders’ Cup-winning sire High Chaparral, producer of such stars as Wrote (Breeders Cup) and So You Think. Like former champion SA sire, Royal Prerogative (Relko), Golden Sword is a descendant of the mighty mare, Lost Soul. Summerhill, head stallion man of three decades, Greig Muir, remarked “Golden Sword is a big, elegant horse much in the mould of So You Think, and provides breeders with a welcome source of one of the most valuable bloodlines in the world.In any other year, he might’ve been a Derby winner, and he would not have been in South Africa if that were the case.” Golden Sword stands at Summerhill for a fee of R20 000.
WHEN Exaggerator (Curlin) upset Kentucky Derby winner Nyquist (Uncle Mo) to land Saturday’s G1 Preakness Stakes (the second leg of the US Triple Crown), he continued the dominance that the Mr Prospector male line has had on the Pimlico classic. Remarkably, Mr Prospector line horses have now won the Preakness Stakes on 15 occasions, with that number including last year’s winner, and subsequent Triple Crown winner, American Pharoah (Pioneerof The Nile). Exaggerator also emulated his own sire Curlin, who himself knocked off a Kentucky Derby winner (Street Sense) to land the 2007 Preakness. Exaggerator is a second US classic winner for Curlin (himself one of two Preakness Stakes winners for the late sire Smart Strike –the other being Lookin At Lucky), following Belmont Stakes winner Palace Malice. Curlin, whose stud fee jumped from $35 000 to $100 000 in 2016, is also responsible for Keen Ice, conqueror of American Pharoah in last year’s G1 Travers Stakes, and champion US filly Stellar Wind. He is one of a growing number of sire sons of Smart Strike who are making their mark at stud, with others including the afore mentioned Lookin At Lucky, English Channel and Square Eddie.
