Gr2 Post Merchants PAST WINNERS

2010

Gr2 POST MERCHANTS at Greyville on Friday

T

The sprinters are back in the limelight at Greyville on Friday evening where the 28th renewal of the R400 000 Gr2 Post Merchants will be run over the 1200m. Dennis Drier’s up-and-coming Trippi 3yo Ferrie appears very progressive and looks a big runner from the 1 draw with talented Cape rider Grant Van Niekerk in the saddle. rainer Justin Snaith saddled the winner of the original Durban Merchants for the last two years but does not have a runner in the 2016 race.

Up The Ladder

The Normandy Stud-bred Trippi gelding Ferrie has been spoken about as something special and takes a step up in class.

He beat a rather ordinary Graduation field last time but his astute trainer rates him highly and his turn of foot suggests that he could match strides with the best here – especially off his handy 52kgs from a good draw.

Sean Tarry saddles a trio of runners, headed by topweight Trip To Heaven, who lost the Gold Challenge in the boardroom last Saturday.

If this talented son of Trippi recovers sufficiently to run here, he could challenge for top honours on his best speed form.

His slow start is a worrying factor.

First Time

Stablemate Buckland will be ridden by first- choice rider S’manga Khumalo and has been rested 11 weeks since going down fifth and 1,80 lengths behind Talktothestars in the Senor Santa.

Buckland received 4kgs there from the subsequent Tsogo Sun winner and must be considered if taking to Greyville first time.

The third of Tarry’s runners is reserve runner, Old Em. Dean Kannemeyer’s Captain Alfredo won the Listed In Full Flight Handicap but failed to produce the goods when outgunned

4,10 lengths back in the Tsogo Sun Sprint a fortnight ago.

The son of Captain Al is well drawn and is a winner on the poly at this venue. He meets Red Ray on a half kilo better terms for just under a length beating last time.

Joey Ramsden’s Red Ray attracted plenty of betting support in the Tsogo Sun when returning from a long rest.

He had no luck in running, losing a show, but stayed on late when 3,15 lengths off Talktothestars.

The top-class entire son of Western Winter has his first start at Greyville and if not being hit by the second ran after a rest bogey, he must come into the reckoning on his Gr1 form of earlier.

In Form

Alec Laird enjoyed feature success last Saturday on the Rising Sun Gold Challenge raceday and he saddles a pair of runners.

The well performed Aurum Pot (like Laird’s Saturday success, a Judpot) has drawn in the bush and Avontuur sponsored Callum Murray will have to draw on every ounce of the gelding’s gate-speed to have a chance.

On a line through his penultimate run to Talktothestars, he is not far off the most competitive in this race.

His stablemate Amazing Strike has also drawn wide and comes in off a lower handicap win at the Vaal last time.

He looks to have a big task in tjis line-up.

Mike de Kock-trained Moofeed was runnerup in this race last year behind Daring Dave in what was a memorable finish.

The son of Duke Of Marmalade has not been

at his best in his last few starts and Muzi Yeni has a tough task on his hands from the 13 draw – even though the entire likes to run at them late.

Wide

Gauteng visitor Belong To Me is another to pull a wide draw and runs off three unplaced runs, suggesting a loss of form.

He showed pace when 7,20 lengths behind Carry On Alice in the Gr1 Computaform Sprint.

The lightly raced 5yo London Call has drawn sweetly at 2 and comes off a 15 week break when beaten by the superior speed of Muscatt at Scottsville.

The son of Kahal has won 4 from 8 starts and gave weight and disposed of Mr Roy in comfortable style at his penultimate start.

This is a jump in class.

Gr3 Tommy Hotspur Handicap winner Viking Hero has his first run in KZN and seldom runs a bad race.

Grant Maroun’s Mullins Bay gelding could be a quartet kicker if he adapts to the track conditions and enjoys to run at the leaders late off a fast gallop.

Top Mare

Mike Bass’ Gr1 winning mare Fly By Night upstaged her more fancied stablemate Lanner Falcon in the SA Fillies Sprint, when staying on for second 1,25 lengths behind Real Princess.

The fairer sex were

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 17th - SUNDAY 19th JUNE 2016 Cape Speed looks very progressive

Classy Nightingale looks the pick

Gr3 TRACK AND BALL DERBY at Scottsville on Sunday

T

The R300 000 Gr3 Track And Ball Derby formerly run under classic conditions for three-year-olds at level weights at Clairwood, is now open to all horses at weight-for-age plus penalties and is run over 2400m on the Scottsville Inside Track on Sunday.

he Joey Ramsden-trained 6yo Captain Al gelding Disco Al is back to defend his title after he set the class record for 2 400m at Scottsville when winning this race last year - but his recent form is less than encouraging.

Anton Marcus takes the ride ahead of his more enthusiastic looking stablemate Coltrane, who has better form on face value.

Disco Al had a prep when 8 lengths off Solid Speed in the Betting World 1900 – that was his first run after a long break following his unplaced effort in the Sansui Summer Cup. Both are dogged hardknocking stayers and Joey will have them fit.

Dean Kannemeyer’s progressive stayer Cape Speed has won his opening two SA Champions Season starts in good style and comes in here on 55 kgs as a fit and decent 3yo, who will be well suited to the 2400m test.

He looks a really decent sort.

With no Sean Tarry runner in the field, S’manga Khumalo has been engaged to ride the British-bred Kingston Mines for the Mike de Kock stable.

The five-year-old failed to feature in the recent Lonsdale Stirrup Cup but he had finished in the first three in his two previous feature events in the Cape.

Storm Warning from the Johan Janse van Vuuren stable never featured in the Lonsdale either but had finished third in the Gold Bowl before that and is a dour stayer on his day.

Brain Wiid’s Derby Trial winner Bankable Teddy is an interesting runner who looks eminently suited to this type of race if he adapts to Scottsville.

The son of Bankable was only 2,20 lengths back to Rabada in the Daily News 2000, when marginally outclassed and a reproduction of that sort of effort would bring him into the picture in this company.

Andre Nel’s French Revolution sparked when chasing Kitty’s Destiny home on the polytrack last time out.

He will enjoy the stamina test and is a 5yo with a touch of class who is yet to fulfil his earlier promise.

A case can be made for the likes of Kitty’s Destiny and even Deputy Jud if they stay.

But we are going with Cape Speed and Bankable Teddy to hold the Ramsden duo.

Breaking Tradition – Or The Right Step?

GOLD Circle announced in 2014 that the Betting World Derby and the Betting World Oaks would be opened to all ages at weightfor-age terms.

“With the main focus of the three year olds during Champions Season being the KRA Guineas’, The Daily News 2000, the Woolavington Stakes and obviously the Vodacom Durban July, the Derby and Oaks have been downgraded over the years and have struggled to find a consistent place in the programme,” said Racing and

Marketing Executive Graeme Hawkins at the time. Hawkins added that there was international precedent, such as the Irish St Leger and the Yorkshire Oaks, to vary the terms and conditions of some of the “traditional” Classics and they felt that the quality and depth of both races would be enhanced.

“In addition, there are no weight-for-age races in South Africa over the distance and the overall programme for stayers would benefit from the change,” he added.

Gr3 TRACK AND BALL OAKS at Scottsville on Sunday

N

The exciting Mike Bass trained Silvano filly Nightingale stands out as the filly to side with in Sunday's R300 000 Gr3 Track And Ball Oaks at Scottsville. ightingale arrrived in KZN with a massive reputation and got off to a flying start with an impressive win in a lowly rated polytrack mile at Greyville.

Older Generation

She then caught the eye when chasing BelaBela home in the Daisy Guineas and followed up with a very satisfactory third placing behind the same filly in the Woolavington 2000.

It is frankly difficult to match that level of current credentials in the thirteen horse field that she faces over 2400m on Sunday.

But there are a few older fillies that could give her something to think about!

Foremost amongst those is the Neil Bruss trained Deputy Ryder.

A gutsy winner of the Listed East Coast Cup at her last start, Anthony Delpech takes the reins from Grant Van Niekerk.

Bruss has some back-up in the race in the form of another Go Deputy, Devon Air Stakes winner, Flying Ice. She was only marginally behind Bela-Bela in both of the mentioned features and looks a filly that will relish the 2400m test.

Killer Blow Ormond Ferraris brings the hard- knocking Duke of Marmalade mare, Marmalady down from Joburg and has engaged the bang inform Weichong Marwing.

Her recent form cannot be faulted in good company but she has shown a tendency to lack a killer blow when the chips are down.

Joey Ramsden's topweighted Gallica Rose enjoys Scottsville but was slightly disappointing in the East Coast Cup when failing to produce her usual flourish and running just under two lengths off Deputy Ryder.

In her defence, she did pull up lame and has shown a strong liking for the extra ground.

Mike De Kock's New Zealand-bred The Centenary, runs for Randall Simons and cannot be faulted on recent form. She ran an excellent second behind Trophy Wife in the Gr2 Gerald Rosenberg Stakes after winning the Listed Spook Express at her previous outing. She has not drawn well but cannot be discounted.

Narrow Defeat Gathering Fame was an unlucky loser of the East Coast Cup when coming out firing after a three month break. It will be interesting to see if she can maintain that level of form in her second run after a rest.

Patchit Up Baby is a consistent place getter and enjoys running on off a strong pace. The daughter of Ideal World finished within a length of Trophy Wife in the Gerald Rosenberg and is surely the closest thing to a winning place bet on the afternoon.

Vino Veritas ran a very disappointing race in the Gerald Rosenberg when 16 lengths off Trophy Wife and her recent form does not inspire much confidence.

Much the same can be said of Witchcraft, who has also battled at her last few starts.

Andre Nel's Australian-bred Ma Choix gave plenty of cheek in the Listed East Coast Cup when right on top of the first two.

She is a game and consistent mare who is worthy of inclusion in quartets.

Work Ethic and Christmas Carol are the balance of the 3yo's and appear to lack the fight at this level on what they have shown to date.

Open In what looks a competitive race, Nightingale may have sufficient class to take her next step up the ladder and she is the selection to beat Marmalady and Flying Ice. Go wide if possible in the exotics.

Liege and S’manga Khumalo storm clear to a good win over Rainy Day Blues (Chase Maujean) and Romany Prince (Muzi Yeni)

Gr3 3 JUBILEE HANDICAP

at Turffontein last Sunday

The Sean Tarry trained Liege has always been touted as above average. He finally put a feature winning performance together with an authoritative showing in Sunday’s R250 000 Gr3 Jubilee Handicap at Turffontein.

older Rainy Day Blues, who continues to improve nicely.

The winner’s margin was a comfortable 1,10 lengths and he registered a time of 109,38 secs.

Romany Prince stayed on nicely for third a further 1,10 lengths back, with July hopeful Judicial fluffing his lines with a weak fourth.

Topweight and race favourite Deo Juvente, who was having his first run in

22 weeks, went wrong in running and was pulled out of the race by Piere Strdyom.

Judicial failed to turn the power on late and plodded into fourth – probably blowing any hope he may have had of getting a run in the July.

Liege has largely been found wanting when taking on his own age group at feature level but is growing in confidence.

He has now won 4 races with 2 places from 14 starts and took his stakes tally to R430 000.

Bred by Maine Chance Farms, Liege is by Dynasty out of that high class and versatile broodmare Lyrical Linda (Jallad), who won eight races from 1400m to 2000m.

He was purchased for R650 000 by Rainbow Beach Trading off the 2014 CTS Cape Ready To Run Sale.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 17th - SUNDAY 19th JUNE 2016 Exit Here (Weichong Marwing) holds off the challenge from Dynamic – the unplaced Master’s Eye (Piere Strydom) is in the photo

Gr3 CUP TRIAL at Greyville last Saturday

T

Trainer Charles Laird had been quietly confident all week that the Jay Peg colt Exit Here would run a big race with a decent ride in Saturday’s R250 000 Gr3 Cup Trial. Judging from the price, very few listened and the 3yo produced the major shock of the day to upstage some Vodacom Durban July hopefuls.

he Moutonshoek – bred Exit Here was scratched from the Vodacom Durban July just three days after a dull effort when way downfield behind Black Arthur in the KZN Guineas. Prior to that he

had run stone last in the Gr3 Kings Cup. Laird was clear in the build up to the Cup Trial that he blamed the jockeys for allowing his charge to run too freely in both of those starts.

So anybody who listened may have taken a touch of the 20-1 or the R31 win (R7-90 a place) available

on the tote on Saturday and would be smiling – even though passionate owner Alesh Naidoo, whose Fire Racing Trust silks were in the Gatecrasher Stakes winner’s box earlier, was obviously not one of them.

Weichong Marwing is the man for the big day and he

rode a pearler, dictating the gallop on a relaxed Exit Here, ahead of Halve The Deficit and Gold Onyx.

Into the straight they fanned out and Exit Here looked to be under severe pressure as the challenges came from all sides, with Dynamic looking very dangerous on his inside.

Justin Snaith’s Dynasty gelding looked to head Exit Here in the final 150m but was not quite good enough to go past and he is likely to be relegated to one of the supporting features on July day. Exit Here stayed on strongly to win by a quarter

length in a time of 110,25 secs. The Conglomerate came on strongly late to grab third, but an objection by Duncan Howells on behalf of fourth placed Saratoga Dancer, on the grounds of intimidation in the latter stages, saw the placings reversed. The Conglomerate is another that has probably not done quite enough to be get into the July.

Master’s Eye plodded in the straight but stayed on for fifth and could be more effective over 400m further, while It Is Written came from miles back and stayed on into sixth place.

Exit Here has now won

6 races with 2 places from 11 starts and took his stakes earnings to R933 094.

Exit Here is a R1,1 million Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 2 graduate. He was bred by Moutonshoek and is a son of Jay Peg out of the unraced Jet Master mare, Summer Angel – which makes him a half brother to the well perfomed Eventual Angel, who ran unplaced in the Tibouchina Stakes, a half hour earlier. Exit Here has earned a guaranteed ticket into the Gr1 Champions Cup on Super Saturday, courtesy of this victory.

The Judpots are flying and the Varsfontein stallion produced his most recent eyecatcher when the Alec Laird-trained Maleficent turned on the charm and the jets to outstrip her nine rivals with a smooth win in Saturday’s R135 000 Listed Devon Air Stakes.

Ten youngsters lined up for the R135 000 Listed Gatecrasher Stakes and things were going smoothly until Skip The Red reared and forced his gate a moment before the rest were sprung. The starter was obliged to make a split second call and there will be many arguments for and against.

Andrew Fortune won his second Fairview Friday feature in seven days when he was seen at his top-class best again to get O Tamara home in the R150 000 Listed Lady’s Slipper.

he meeting was held in sticky conditions with a soft rain falling throughout the afternoon.

All riders were given an extra 0.5 Kg at the scale due to their wet equipment.

Fortune was aboard the second favourite O Tamara, one of three Alan Greeff runners in the fifteen strong field, where the Mike Bass-trained Cape raider Extradite started a 15-10 fravourite. O Tamara was some lengths off the early gallop set by Lady Willow, who over raced and fell in a whole passing the 200m to run stone last.

The wide awake Craig Zackey had noticed the pacemaker wobbling and grabbed two lengths on the maiden Favour’s Pride, and it looked a winning lead as Fortune was weaving his way through traffic.

In an exciting finish, the Fortune magic worked and O Tamara got up to beat the gutsy Favour’s Pride (what price in a maiden next time?) by a head in a time of 87,32 secs, with

Extradite running on wide out 2,25 lengths back. The winner is one of many nice youngsters racing in the Scribante white and orange silks this season.

The recently sold for reputed telephone numbers Oomph was one of those,but they have some good depth and O Tamara looks to be getting better and better – and will relish a bit further.

O Tamara was bred by the Scibante’s Piemonte Stud, which is based in the heart of racehorse country in KZN. O Tamara was not really wanted at sale – she went through the ring at the 2015 Suncoast KZN Yearling Sale where she was bought for R30 000 by Pine Lodge Stud.

O Tamara has now won 3 races with 4 places from 7 starts and took her stakes tally to R233 725 – which excludes the BSA Added Value Stakes Bonus of R77 500.

With her ability, the family are happy to have her racing for them and with her black-type will add value to their broodmare band.

She is by Equus Champion colt of 2007, Argonaut, out of the three-time winning Spectrum mare, Syncopate.

M

aleficent was coming in fresh off a runaway maiden success at the Vaal a fortnight earlier but attracted plenty of attention to start 5-2 in an open looking race.

With Brandon Lerena seemingly in a bit of a hurry and treating the 1400m feature like a 600m scurry, taking the lightning fast Call Me Winter up to lead in a flash from her wide draw, Weichong Marwing had Maleficent comfortable in third, posted just a length off the good-looking Querari Falcon.

Into the straight it came as little surprise to see Call Me Winter go out the back door as Maleficent also appeared to come under pressure with the ever-present Querari Falcon looking dangerous.

With the daughter of Querari pinching a length, Maleficent had it all to do, but she clicked what it was all about in three strides and came home powerfully as a very green Querari Falcon hung inwards onto her. Marwing knew what he had under him though and straightened Maleficent out to draw clear and win by 3,25 lengths in a time of 83,27 secs.

It was to be the first leg of a feature double for Marwing, who was seen at his brilliant best on Cup Trial winner Exit Here, two races later.

Querari Falcon looks promising and stayed on two lengths in front of a late finishing Final Judgement, who just edged out Star Burst Galaxy.

Maleficent was bred by Shirluck Stud and is another progressive daughter of Varsfontein stallion Judpot.

She is out of the speedy two-time winning Kabool mare Kite Runner, which makes her a full sister to Vodacom Durban July candidate and SA Derby heartstopper, Rocketball.

She has won twice after beaten into second on an odds-on debut over 1200m at the Vaal, where she showed oodles of pace.

She took her earnings to R158 625, which amount excludes the BSA Added Value Stakes Bonus of R77 500.

T

hey were sent on their way again and Weichong Marwing took the favourite Daffiq out to lead from Lee’s Star and Buffalo Soldier. Keagan De Melo had Palladium relaxed at the back. Into the 400m Daffiq continued to gallop strongly and looked to be comfortable in front as challenges from Buffalo Soldier and Lee’s Star fizzled.

At the 200m Palladium had taken off and cut Daffiq’s lead with every stride to get up and win going away by a neck in a time of 84,97 secs. This victory was a mirror image of his debut win over 200m shorter when he had taken off from nowhere.

The start troublemaker Skip The Red made a miraculous recovery to run on powerfully for third. Trainer Charles Laird said that Alesh Naidoo had found Palladium at sale. “We had a mission for July day and we are two thirds of the way there,” he said. Alesh Naidoo confirmed that he had loved Palladium when he saw him and went to R1,7 million for him at the 2015 National Yearling Sale. “I was shocked at the Bookies pricing him at 40 to 1. This if for Avontuur and Pippa,” he said.

Bred by Avontuur, Palladium hails from a superb Gr1 winning family and is a son of champion sire Silvano out of the four-time winning Eliiodor mare, Minelli. The grand mare produced yet another black type winner and Avontuur’s Pippa Mickleburgh was elated.

“Palladium joins his half siblings Val De Ra,Mitra and Tevez to mark this super mare’s great service to the farm. Well done to loyal supporter and friend Alesh Naidoo and master trainer Charles Laird!” she said.

Given the Silvano influence, Palladium looks an athlete with plenty of scope.

Palladium is unbeaten in two starts and took his stakes earnings to R134 375 – that amount excludes the BSA Added Value Stakes Bonus of R77 500. The further he goes, the more effective he is likely to be and the future looks bright for the exciting 2yo.

9 Mac De Lago (Piere Strydom) and Trip To Heaven go head to head

Rising Sun Gr1 GOLD CHALLENGE at Greyville last Saturday

T

It is obviously not the preferred way to decide Gr1 contests but the dramatic objection that overshadowed a thrilling finish to the R1 million Rising Sun Gold Challenge at Greyville on Saturday had a happy ending for some.

he connections of the Australianbred 9 to 2 shot Mac De Lago will be smiling after the gelding booked his Vodacom Durban July berth with a deserved boardroom nod.

Trainer Weiho Marwing probably experienced some nervous flashbacks to the 2014 Durban July at the same venue, when things didn’t end quite as well as they did for him on Saturday.

He lodged an objection following Mac De Lago going down in a thriller to Sean Tarry’s improved again Trip To Heaven, who ran a gutsy race from last into the straight after a hesitant start in the prestigious weight-for-age mile.

The SA punting public have enjoyed something of a tempestuous relationship with

the obviously talented but enigmatic 4yo Mac De Lago over the past few seasons.

Often touted and tipped, he has run some top-class races but his only win prior to this sizzling Gr1 credit was a modest first in an MR 79 Handicap at Turffontein at the end of 2014.

But he has been around the big league block a few times and despite a lack of silverware in his cupboard, has run some top-class races without delivering the killer blows – and was pitched at 16 on the Vodacom Durban July published on 30 May. And after this – dare we say slightly hollow – victory, will surely take his place in history on 2 July.

Marwing’s objection came as no surprise after Trip To Heaven, despite the efforts of replacement jockey Grant van Niekerk, had shifted in under pressure on to Mac De Lago

over the last 250m, and in the process cost his opponent some involuntary valuable ground.

The Stipes came back with an ‘upheld’ verdict and it was another body blow for the Sean Tarry yard after a tough couple of weeks, dogged by suspicions of a virus in their Joburg base.

After their 3yo Prospect Strike had done the donkey work, the stable’s rising popular July fancy Frenchy Navy got going late to finish third, another 1.75 lengths back in an excellent prep, that would have provided some compensation for the boardroom disappointment.

French Navy was two lengths ahead of Drill Hall Stakes hero New Predator, who looked dangerous late

– but almost seems more effective at 1400m.

The winner’s time was a smart 95,48 secs.

The 7yo 28-10 favourite Ice Machine failed to produce a finish and ran 6 lengths back.

Gold Circle Marketing Executive Graeme Hawkins threw a light-hearted spin on some tense moments in the post-race presentation when he said that it was Piere Strydom’s ‘first Gr1 as a 50 year old!’ Striker, who rode Talktothestars to win the Gr1 Tsogo Sun Sprint just a week earlier, celebrated his half century birthday on Tuesday this week – as well as a new 5000 winner milestone as a fully fledged jockey.

Mac De Lago was bred in Australia by G Downey and was purchased by James Bester

Bloodstock for A$65 000 off the 2013 Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale.

He is a son of Fairy King stallion Encosta De Lago and is out of the six-time winning Vettori mare, Macavelli Miss.

Lightly raced, Mac De Lago has won 3 races with 4 places from his 13 starts and doubled his stakes tally to R1 238 750 on a profitable afternoon.

Despite the forecast rain holding off, there was quite some evidence of kickback on the track but no negative feedback from anybody involved. The countdown to Africa’s biggest day of racing continues with the Vodacom Durban July weights being published on Tuesday 14 June.

We can’t wait!

Fayd’herbe urge. At the 200m Silver Mountain was being hailed a winner, but Alexis emerged from the shadows and came home shunting. She got up to beat Silver Mountain by a neck in a time of 83,61 secs.

The luckless Sensible Lover had nowhere to go late in proceedings and was not disgraced as she sailed past the one-paced Inara to secure third, a further half length back.

Inara was really given every chance by jockey Grant van Niekerk, but her Gauteng raid exertions may have taken the wind out of her sails.

Winning jockey, SMG Cape Town sponsored Corne Orffer

modestly played down his fine timing.

“I didn’t really have a choice to have her that far back as there was a bit of scrimmaging. But into the straight I balanced her and found a gap and she picked it up beautifully. She has done so well at this track,” he said. Trainer Brett Crawford, who unbelievably only has twelve horses in his raiding string said that it often was a matter of luck that things panned out so smoothly.

“She loves Greyville – I think it is four runs for three wins here and she has also had a fantastic prep and been working up a storm.

I just want to thank Delma and Lance Sherrell, who have been

major supporters of my yard. Then to Corne for a great ride and to my assistant Barry Donnely who has been doing a lot of the work with me travelling backwards and forwards,” he said. The Connemara Stud-bred Alexis is a daughter of Dynasty out of the Parade Leader mare rydethecreek.

Alexis was purchased by TM Bloodstock for r200 000 at the 2013 CTS ready To run Sale and took her stakes tally to r744 560 with her sixth win (3 places) from her 17 starts to date.

The Garden Province is always a classy competitive race to win, but Alexis looks overdue for a Gr1 victory and her presence there will add value.

Alexis Arrives On Time Gr2 TIBOUCHINA STAKES at Greyville last Saturday

C

Brett Crawford’s giantkiller Alexis sure can gallop when in the mood. The 4yo daughter of Dynasty produced a scintillating turn of foot to win the R400 000 Gr2 Tibouchina Stakes at Greyville on Saturday – and looks to have a Gr1 in her at any time,with the Garden Province on July day as her next target.

rawford had two runners in the fairer sex feature and may have felt that Mike Bass’ multiple Gr1 winner Inara had his pair’s measure at the weights – and would probably have happily

settled for some place money. But the 2015 KrA Guineas winner showed the benefit of a top-class prep and her liking for the Greyville track as she burst through at 20-1 from lengths off to cut down the Cape Fillies Guineas winner Silver Mountain, who had looked a winner inside the distance.

After Littleblacknumber had set

the fractions ahead of entisaar, with Inara beautifully placed two lengths off them, the race heated up at the top of the straight as Piere Strydom brouught Olma around her field to challenge. entisaar started shortening her stride as Inara came forward in the centre, with Silver Mountain flying down the outside under a vigorous

It Is No Longer Are Handicappers The J&B Met Sponsor pulls out after 39 years Seeing Stars?

Talktothestars began the season rated 83

H

The handicappers have made Talktothestars the highest-rated horse in South Africa following his victory in last Saturday’s Gr1 Tsogo Sprint and that’s bound to prove controversial.

andicapping has always been a touchy subject and by and large it is a thankless task and a job for which you need a thick skin, but there are times when one looks at the big picture that one plus one often does not add up to two.

There have been several mutterings among trainers and owners that because of some glaring anomalies, an alternative system needs to be introduced that is simpler for all. Some trainers do not appear to have a problem with the merit rating system per se, but rather with the method in which it is applied.

The general consensus seems to be handicappers only take a micro view of a race and not a macro view that takes the full picture into account.

The victory of Talktothestars in Saturday’s Grade 1 Tsogo Sprint has highlighted some of the issues. Trainer Coenie de Beer’s runner was rated 116 going into the race and carried top weight of 60kg. After his victory he was raised five points to 121, which makes him the highest rated runner in the country – one point more than multiple Grade 1 winner Legal Eagle.

His new rating has raised other concerns. In both the Computaform Sprint and the Cape Flying Championships – both Grade 1 events – Talktothestars finished about one length behind Carry On Alice. In those weight-forage races the gelding had to concede Carry On Alice a 2.5kg sex allowance. On the old ratings, had they met in a handicap, he would only have given her 1kg which would have brought them closer together.

However, now seven points split them so should they run in a handicap Talktothestars would have to give the filly 3.5kg. That rather defeats the whole purpose of a handicap which is designed to put all the runners on an equal footing.

The other concern was raised by jockey Piere Strydom who rode Talktothestars last Saturday. On hearing the new merit rating, he said: “That puts him on the same level as JJ The Jet Plane and although he is a good horse, there is no comparison between the ability of the two.”

When JJ The Jet Plane left South Africa he went on to beat Rocket Man, then regarded the best sprinter in the world, in Hong Kong, and was only raised two points to 122. He then won two races in Dubai – a handicap and the Grade 2 Al Quoz Sprint – and retained his 122 rating. That gives some indication of how international handicappers view SA ratings.

Senior handicapper Roger Smith acknowledged there were issues but gave the reason why they take a micro view of a race. “Some horses go on from a race and others don’t so we assess every race on its own merits.

“The current system we have in place does not allow for retrospective rating. The down

Talktothestars

side of allowing for that is some horses could have their ratings raised, even if they don’t race.

“We do try and review merit ratings in August when things are quieter and a lot of the better horses have a break. But due to the nature of racing in South Africa we have a lot of focus on handicaps and it is hard to get things in kilter,” said Smith. “As far as the quality of the current group of sprinters is concerned, there is no way we can take that into account, we can only look at how they perform against each other at their level. Talktothestars conceded weight to African Ruler and Exelero. We’re not going to change the other two or leave him where he is and drop the other two.”

That last comment would have resolved the Carry On Alice problem but Smith commented that De Beer will probably only stick to Pinnacle Stakes and weight-for-age races with his runner from now on so the handicapping shouldn’t be a problem.

Talktothestars began the season rated 83 and three handicap victories brought him to a merit rating of 96. He then went to Cape Town and received four points for running third in a Listed event and another five for finishing fifth in the Cape Flying Handicap.

He got five more for winning the Grade 2 Senor Santa Handicap and then six more for running second to Carry On Alice in the Computaform Sprint.

Simply put he was penalised 12.5kg for winning just two races. Only 5kg came from the two wins themselves.

De Beer has had his run-ins with the handicappers and a few years ago took them to court when they left top-rated Depardieu out of the Emerald Cup. “I lost that case on a technicality because my lawyers messed it up.

“For me Talktothestars should be rated around 112. I think he’s a great horse but right now they’re killing him. It’s all very well for Roger to say he is not going to run in handicaps but he doesn’t pay the bills.”

Talktothestars next race will be the Grade 1 Mercury Sprint at Greyville which is at weight-for-age and victory would make him a contender for an Equus Award as Champion Sprinter. www.tabnews.co.za

Overwhelmed Molly Says Thanks There are only two words that I can find to describe the reaction of Sporting Post readers to the news that Tellytrack no longer wanted my services on course completely overwhelming, writes Dave Mollett.

After 14 years (no pension coming!), it was indeed a shock to be advised of their decision by e-mail. That racing experts with such a huge knowledge of the sport like Barry Irwin, Robin Bruss, Tony Proudlock, Ian Jayes

and Michael de Brolio should take time out to post their comments is truly gratifying. We are talking here about gentlemen whose opinions carry great weight in the sport. I chuckled at Tony Proudlock’s comment that “In England he would have got a Knighthood.” That might be the second best comment about this Yorkshireman who has now been in SA for 46 years.

The best has to be that of the late Reg Griffin, head of

Timeform, who introduced me to a steward at York and said “This is David Mollett - he’s Timeform’s best export.”

To his credit, Rob Scott, new head at Tellytrack, arranged a meeting within 24 hours of the Sporting Post story hitting the streets. In football terms, Rob’s appointment is a “huge signing”.

Whatever it cost Phumelela to lure him from the corporate world, it is money well spent.

His enthusiasm for the sport is

Diageo SA, formally known as Brandhouse, and local distributor of J&B whiskey, has announced that it will no longer continue its sponsorship of the J&B Met.

or the past 39 years, the J&B brand has invested significant resources to ensure the staging of this prestigious horseracing event.

Over time it has grown to become one of South Africa’s grandest social occasions and the country’s longeststanding sports sponsorship.

“We are extremely proud of what we have achieved with the J&B™ Met and the wonderful experience it has created over the years. We are certainly going to miss working with this exceptional annual event and team,” says Jeff Milliken, Managing Director of Diageo SA. The 2016 J&B Met was the completion of a three year contract commitment to the event. In reviewing its strategy

for the J&B brand, Diageo SA has made the decision to end the partnership and allocate resources to other brand initiatives.

This has not been an easy decision but we feel that this is right for the brand.

The first Metropolitan mile was run in 1883, with J&B assuming sponsorship in 1977 when the event came to be known as the J&B™ Met. Since the first J&B™ Met, the event has attracted South Africans from all walks of life who come together to celebrate the best of fashion, music, food and horseracing.

“We would like to thank the Met for a lengthy and fruitful partnership spanning nearly four decades. We are grateful to have been a part of such an iconic event and are certain of its continued success, with an incredible team at the

helm to take it forward,” says Milliken. Kenilworth Racing Chairman Chris van Niekerk expressed much gratitude to Diageo SA for their valued support and loyalty over a lengthy period. “A 39 year sponsorship is a great achievement and as partners we had a tremendous Met journey. We wish Diageo SA much success with their new campaign.”

Head of Media Executive for Phumelela Gaming, Rob Scott said that whilst it’s sad to see the partnership come to an end, exciting opportunities are up for the taking.

“We are in the process of closing a brand new deal and will announce our new sponsors of the Met in due course. The date of the running of the 2017 Cape Town Met will be announced at the same time.”

Abashiri July Surprise Stop Press - Is Zechner Off Or On?

It has been a topsy-turvy few days for Triple Crown winner Abashiri’s regular pilot Karl Zechner after it was announced over the weekend that he had been replaced by Hong Kong based Dougie Whyte for the Vodacom Durban July.

Trainer Mike Azzie confirmed in an interview with www.turftalk. co.za that he had booked former Hong Kong Champion Jockey Douglas Whyte for 2016 Triple Crown winner Abashiri.

Controversial In what was said to be a tough and controversial decision for Azzie and owners Adriaan and Rika van Vuuren, Whyte was to replace jockey Karl Zechner, who is unbeaten in five successive starts on the star gelding.

Azzie said on Sunday: “A lot was said after Abashiri won the SA Derby and we’ve put that behind us. Karl is unbeaten on the horse, but Doug was available to take the ride. He is an internationally renowned bigrace rider, champion of Hong Kong 13 times and in fact a good friend of my family.

“Many years ago Doug’s father John, my father Herbie and Mike Keyrouz were inseparable friends, so close that my brother John was named after Doug’s

boundless and he freely admits that his task at Tellytrack is more time consuming than he had envisaged.

He concedes that in my case “things could have been handled better.”

We have come to an agreement that I will be used on course for big days such as the July, Summer Cup and Met. Also, Wesley Lloyd, head of presenters, will be instructed to use me in Gauteng if they need someone at short notice. I want to state that I believe the Sporting Post - under the guidance of Karel and Kiki Miedema - is such an important publication for racing.

father and I was named after Mike Keyrouz. We go back a long way. I wanted Doug to be my apprentice way back when in the late 1980s, but he was assigned to Gary Alexander and they sent me Weichong Marwing.

“Doug still rode a number of winners for me before he left for Hong Kong. A few years ago I asked Doug to ride one on July day for me, he couldn’t make it but he said, ‘One day I will, I promise,’ and I replied, ‘I hope I have one good enough for you to ride!’. Now we have Abashiri and Doug will be flying out to ride him!”

Azzie said that he had discussed the issue with Zechner.

“Karl is upset, but this is racing.

Apart from having one of the world’s best riders available, I didn’t want to put more pressure on Karl for the July. We weren’t happy with his ride in the Derby, that’s a known fact, and that alone would have elevated the pressure on him before the July.

I promised and gave him his first

Grade 1 winner, he remains my stable jockey and will get plenty of my rides going forward.”

While other media hardly ever confront controversial issues, the Sporting Post has no fear in getting to the heart of any story.

The recent criticism of the Scottsville track is a perfect example.

Once again, my thanks to those people who have been so

supportive in a trying year both healthwise and jobwise.

PS: The “Molly Knee Replacement Fund” will be closing on Friday July 1 so there’s still time to donate! The sales organiser is Linda Mannie and she can be contacted on Bushsolutions@gmail.com.

Rested Azzie said about Abashiri: “We gave him a good rest after the Derby, but his July preparation is going very well. He is coming to hand steadily and we will go straight into the July without an official prep run. I’m hoping Rabada will take his place as well. He has blossomed, he will come into the July with a low weight and being a better horse now he will be a serious runner if he is accepted. That depends on a decision to be taken by Markus Jooste and Derek Brugman.”

But… As we went to print on Tuesday, it was learnt that Zechner may well be back in favour and could possibly still ride the horse he loves so much.

It’s a case of wait-and-see, with no decisions needed before 11h00 on Monday 20 June.

Federico Tesio, widely regarded as one of the most brilliant Thoroughbred breeders of our time, famously said, “The Thoroughbred exists because its selection has depended, not on experts, technicians, or zoologists, but on a piece of wood: the winning post of the Epsom Derby.”

T

he maxim holds true today as much as it did then and in the hands of Bernard Kantor and the Investec team, ‘the greatest flat race on earth’ has had a distinctly South African flavour since they took over the sponsorship in 2009.

To ensure that ‘Brand SA’ was stamped firmly in the international consciousness with more than just the zebra, Team Investec announced their commentator swap initiative in late 2014, whereby Epsom commentator Richard Hoiles would come to South Africa to call the Investec Cape Derby and Rouvaun Smit would call at the Epsom Derby festival.

The runners and riders make history; The crowds make it special

The first leg took place at Kenilworth on Met day 2015 – incidentally the last time the Cape Derby was run on Met day – and Richard Hoiles called the very impressive Ertijaal home for the Mike de Kock team.

Six months later, Smit was in the hot seat at Epsom Downs, returning the favour in the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Cup – an event that produced a small, but high quality field including Dolniya and Flintshire – and produced an upset to boot, when Pether’s Moon found a late surge to deny Dolniya by a neck.

2016 This year Hoiles graced our shores – and our airwaves – for the 2016 Investec Cape Derby as well as the inaugural CTS Million Dollar on the Cape’s new look ‘Day Of Dreams’ with Smit winging his way north for the Diomed Stakes on

Oaks day and the Princess Elizabeth Stakes on Derby day. The promotional slogan for this year ran as follows: “The greatest flat race in the world; The one everyone wants to win; The runners and riders make history; The crowds make it special” and according to Rouvaun Smit, it is cross your heart true.

Rouvaun arrived in London on Tuesday, 31 May, to the epitome of the UK summer, “It didn’t stop raining for 2 days!’ he laughs.

After checking in at his Epsom hotel, he was off to an overnight visit to friends Tom and Evelyn Yates who really made his visit extra special and his first two days were a whirlwind of suit fittings and prep for the big meeting.

Great organisation “I cannot tell you how well organised they are. They recognised us the moment we arrived which made me feel so welcome. Our media packs and accreditation were all prepared with a photo ID on a plastic key card, final fields and press releases – everything we needed was laid on.

“Unlike here where we accept a week in advance, they have the 48 hour rule which helps a lot as there are not so

many card changes come race day, but they are a lot more dependent on the media to publish final fields and so on.

“There are rules for where the media are and aren’t allowed and it’s strictly enforced, but you are briefed exactly what you need to do and where you’re allowed to be, so everyone knows exactly what they’re doing.”

Oaks Day After a quiet night, it was off to Oaks Day where Rouvaun called the Gr3 Diomed Stakes.

“It was a lot easier this year because I knew where to go and how to get everywhere. I usually prefer calling from my binoculars, but Epsom has a special console that allows you to choose specific camera angles during the race – you can choose the start, back straight, head on or side on which is really helpful.”

It makes the reciprocal arrangement that much more special “Investec, Epsom and Richard could not have been more welcoming or accommodating and nothing one asked was too much.

Commentators usually stand in UK, whereas we sit.

“When Richard comes to Cape Town, I clear all the chairs out of the way so that things are set up the way he likes and make sure everything is set up for him.

Richard politely found me a chair and adjusted it to the level I’m comfortable with, which was really thoughtful.”

Know your track “Although calling a race is the same the world over, you need to know your track.

Epsom is designed like a horseshoe with an incline at the start. The highest point is on the back straight and then they descend to Tattenham corner before climbing uphill again to the finish. Because of the course layout, one relies more on the TV than your binoculars and one thing I learnt from last year is that you cannot commit until the final furlong of the race.

“Because it’s so steep, that’s where the complexion of a race can change. I said to Richard, ‘I hope I don’t get a close finish’ and would you believe the Diomed produced the closest finish of the entire festival - three shorts heads on the line.

Luckily I got them in the right order!”

“At Kenilworth, the angle is deceptive and one can’t always tell who’s in front the trick is to call the field from the outside in. In the Cape Derby, It’s My Turn was taken to the outside rail halfway up the straight.

At the 400m, Richard was concentrating on the inside horses and I whispered ‘Outside in’.

“He picked up It’s My Turn from there on in. I then called the Majorca and when Richard called the Million Dollar, he remembered the angle, so he caught Illuminator. Watching from the grandstand, it always looks as though the outside horse is in front and one doesn’t realise how deceptive it is.

“Luckily I didn’t have that at Epsom – the horses were all up the inside and it was just a case of whether they were going to get there or not, but it’s times like that that make one grateful to have guys at your side and it makes the reciprocal arrangement that much more special.”

“Another thing that was really touching is that I was listed alongside Richard as the official commentator in the race card. It was a really nice personal touch from Epsom.”

Highlights “Two things stand out.

Firstly, Minding winning the Oaks. She met with interference and dropped to last at Tattenham Corner, but the manner in which she picked them up in the straight to win marks her a real champion. She’s won the 1000 Guineas and Investec Oaks and if she wins the St Leger in September, she will be the first to win the Fillies Triple Crown since Oh So Sharp in 1985. Unless she incurs problems, I can’t see her being beaten.”

“The other thing that was heart-warming was the Aga Khan winning the Derby and seeing how much it meant to him. The emotion and sheer delight on his face and to see how humble he was in accepting the trophy from the Queen was something else. As they say, it’s the one everybody wants to win.

They don’t bill it the world’s greatest flat race for nothing and one can see what it means to win.

“The horse that ran second, US Army Ranger, is another horse I think we’ll hear a lot about going forward. He came from a long way back and on the way he finished, he’s got to be a horse to watch in the other Classics.

The other talking point of the Festival was the hype around Sea The Stars offspring that are setting the tracks alight.

“Investec first sponsored the Derby in 2009 when Sea The Stars won and that’s another piece of history in the making.”

Influential race “The Epsom Derby is a true Classic in the sense that it is open to entires and fillies – no geldings – so it is the holy grail of racing in terms of its significance to the stud book.

It is a very special race both in terms of the history of the breed as well as the history of racing and the manner in which they revere and celebrate that is very special.”

“Everyone dresses up – regardless of which area of the course they’re on, most men wear a top hat and tails and the women wear hats and fascinators. The suit hire company had already booked out all the suits in my size a month before Epsom and with Ascot coming up, they are booked out completely.”

Quality never gets old “The hype and excitement around Derby day is phenomenal. I think they said they’d had 128,000 people this year. To think so many people are at a race meeting gives you goose bumps. As the field turns for the home straight, you cannot hear yourself on the PA system – that’s how the crowd erupts and the way they cheer the horses is unbelievable.”

The manner in which they revere and celebrate that is very special “When you look down from the commentary box on Derby Day there are people as far as the eye can see. They extend the facilities on the stand side and there are people all the way up the straight to Tattenham Corner.

The middle of the course is common ground and there’s a funfair and vendors and it’s very festive.”

“I was in Dubai in 2006, the year Dubai Millennium won and one can’t compare the two. Meydan is all glitz and glam and modern and sophisticated, but Epsom is something else. Of all the races of the year, the Derby is the one everyone wants to win and the one everyone wants to come to. It’s not called the world’s greatest flat race for nothing.”

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 17th - SUNDAY 19th JUNE 2016

Royal Ascot 2016 Tuesday 14th to Saturday 18th June

Jockeys and trainers expressed more disappointment with the condition of the Greyville surface for the Rising Sun Gold Challenge meeting on Saturday although little concern was voiced following a difference of opinion last week.

“It is an absolute disgrace and the time for them to be consulting us as a professional group is past. It is a track management issue and requires drastic action. Talking to jockeys is not going to produce any solution to a problem like this,” said the senior rider who said the track was ‘terrible’ again on Saturday.

The official penetrometer reading was 22 with the going declared as ‘soft’ between the 600m and 500m marks.

Clash

Last week a jockey joined a leading Cape trainer in imploring racing operator Gold Circle to take responsibility and be accountable for track issues in KZN rather than ‘denial or pretending that there isn’t a problem’.

Milnerton-based trainer Vaughan Marshall, who has a powerful raiding string and celebrated a superb Gr1 2yo feature double at Scottsville on the Tsogo Sun Sprint raceday said that he had been ‘shattered’ by what he had seen when walking the Scottsville track after galloping one of his runners recently.

“You can quote me. Ask my colleagues if you need any confirmation of what I am saying. I earn a living out of horseracing succeeding and am all for the game enjoying positive publicity – so I am definitely not being malicious or pointing fingers. Why on earth would I be? There is a problem with the tracks and I have to admit that I am anxious about sending my horses out on surfaces like this. Were it not for the level of stakes on offer, I wouldn’t be here and have already been forced by owners to leave some at home. Some horses are naturally tougher than others but we are picking our races carefully,” he said.

Consensus

Marshall said that Greyville was ‘even worse’ than

Scottsville and that he felt deeply concerned about the prospects of racing going ahead on the turf on the Rising Sun Gold Challenge day on Saturday.

He said that he thought that there was general consensus that the turf tracks were in poor condition and could not understand anybody suggesting that they weren’t.

When asked what he felt the technical solution was to the issue, he said he was no expert on the subject.

“Ralph Smout is one of the best track managers in the business – we all know how good he is. I fear that there is no quick-fix solution. The soil appears to lack the necessary nutrients and needs to be replaced.

That has probably already been proven by the problem lingering.

What about digging the turf up down to say a metre and replacing the soil and planting new grass?

That will obviously cost money but it seems a better option than trying to defend an ongoing problem,” said the experienced trainer.

The KZN jockeys failed to appear for post-race interviews at Scottsville last Wednesday.

Jockeys – Not Serious?

We approached Gold Circle for comment. Graeme Hawkins confirmed that in response to the jockeys so-called dissatisfaction with the condition of the tracks, a meeting had been convened for Tuesday 7 June at Greyville and all of Anton Marcus; Anthony Delpech and Alec Forbes were invited – and apparently confirmed their attendance.

Also invited to the meeting were Chief Stipe Shaun Parker and NHA Vet Roehann Sutherland, as well as trainers Paul Lafferty,

Tony Rivalland and Craig Eudey.

Hawkins said that he had represented Gold Circle at the meeting, along with Racing Executive Raf Sheik, CEO Michel Nairac and the Greyville track managers, Ralph Smout and Kurt Grunewald.

Apparently none of the three invited jockeys pitched up for the meeting!

“On phoning them to enquire of their whereabouts, they all claimed that they had forgotten. That would suggest that in their minds the issue is not all that serious or urgent,” said Hawkins.

He went on to say that an inspection of the Greyville turf surface was undertaken

by Management and the trainers and all were well satisfied with the condition of the track.

A jockey, who asked not to be named, dismissed the suggestion by Gold Circle that the no show by three senior jockeys at last Tuesday’s meeting, was an indication that they were ‘not all that serious or urgent’.

“Let’s just be fair. Yes, we all forgot. That we will concede upfront was an error on our collective part. I was contacted and apologised and indicated I was fifteen minutes away from Greyville and on my way. A few minutes later, while en route, I was told that the meeting had been cancelled. That was the end of it,” he said.

ground our horse pecked and completely lost his stride at a crucial time, not once but twice.

I couldn’t care less about the result of the race, my concern lies more in the wellbeing of the horse.

Sadly I have another debutante on Friday, and were it not for the fact that I’m a minor shareholder I would have never allowed the trainer to even run the horse on the turf track. It saddens me no end that as a young owner (28) I always promote racing to friends and other young professionals, but how can I promote this sorry or Letters can be faxed dema: eMailed to Karel Mie spost@iafrica.com Fax: (021) 761 4003 used, Pseudonyms may be e and provided the full nam are address of the sender supplied to the editor.

Motivation

He went on to say that it was also misleading to create the impression that this was worldclass horseracing on a par with Australia or Singapore, when the tracks were in the condition that they were in.

“Walking on a track and visually observing it also does not always tell the story that a jockey feels through a horse galloping on the surface. We feel the falter. That said, even the casual observer could see the state of the track on Daily News day. Naturally that is not to say it won’t be better on Saturday,” he said.

“What we’d like to hear is exactly what the upside or even suggested underlying hidden motive could possibly be for any jockey or trainer to suggest that there are problems with the tracks, if there weren’t. We are surely all on the same side? We all earn our living out of this game and we get paid to race. No racing – no earnings. It is as simple as that,” he suggested.

There was a considerable buzz at a luncheon in Windsor Castle on Tuesday. Quite apart from the first of five days of high-class racing being just a carriage ride away across Windsor Great Park, the meeting’s Royal host is also one of its key participants and, as it stands, the Queen expects to have seven runners at this year’s Royal Ascot – six of them unexposed improvers.

FOR just about the first time since she plumped for Flat racing and the Queen Mother decided to stick with the jumpers over six decades ago, the Queen is not the only owner-breeder in her family with more than a passing interest in the results; the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall have a couple of sporting chances, too.

It is a sign of the times that everything these days has to have a unique selling point and Ascot’s is, unquestionably, its Royal connection.

For many racegoers, the highlight of the day is the landlady’s arrival in the Royal Procession and the pomp, ceremony and prestige afforded the meeting by her guaranteed presence is a huge part of the draw for the international challengers, 15 of whom have travelled from outside Europe this week. The Queen possesses a fund of racing knowledge.

Gold Watching her horses grow from wobbling to their feet for the first time as foals to contesting at this level is what it is all about and there is great optimism in the camp that in the year that Thursday’s Gold Cup is being run in honour of her 90th birthday, she can add to her tally of 22 winners at the fixture.

Her first was Choir Boy in the flag-started Royal Hunt Cup of 1953.

The latest was one of racing’s greatest feel-good moments when in 2013 Estimate narrowly held off Simenon in the Gold Cup, the first time in the race’s two centuries’ long history that it had been won by a reigning monarch. Her joy was unbridled. “It was the most special day of my riding career,” recalled her winning jockey, Ryan Moore, a man not given to hyperbole. “I’ve never seen or heard a crowd like it. I’ll never forget that.” The feeling is that her current string is a strong one. Her first runner is the William Haggas-trained Light Music, who won her Leicester maiden last year by 14 lengths, in Wednesday’s Jersey Stakes. “She’s a live prospect,” said the Queen’s racing adviser John Warren.

Hardwicke High The Queen’s highest-profile runner of the week is Dartmouth in Saturday’s Group Two Hardwicke Stakes. “He’s game and genuine and will run his heart out,” predicted Warren. “The only thing is, if it continued to rain all week, we might discuss whether it is the right thing to run him.”

The Queen takes an equal interest in the horses owned and bred by the Prince and the Duchess. Their Carntop, a one-time Derby possible, goes for the King Edward VII Stakes on Friday while Pacify is expected to go for the Wolferton on Saturday. Estimate was one of the products of an 80th birthday present of six broodmares given to the Queen by the Aga Khan.

The deal was that both owners would agree on the stallion, the Queen would keep the fillies, the Aga Khan would get the colts. It is not clear what she got for her 90th but no present would give her greater pleasure than a thoroughbred broodmare. www.telegraph.co.uk

Media Muzzle

The jockey said that addressing concerns expressed by effectively preventing feedback on the track conditions to punters was a disservice to the betting public and other stakeholders- and that it was a means of skirting the underlying problem.

“The mere fact that we are debating this via the media just goes to show the level

Owner - ‘Greyville Not Fit For Donkeys AS an owner, flying down to Durban to watch your horse run is an expensive exercise but nevertheless a fulfilling one when your athlete produces his best, irrespective of where he finishes, writes Hugo Moller on www.sportingpost.co.za Cut to Saturday 12 June. We arrive, expecting great racing on a Gr1 raceday.

The first comment by my father, who has been a racing follower for many decades, was that the course was in an absolute sorry state.

Various fancied horses underperform during the course of the day. Finally our horse has a run and finishes downfield. As the jocks return with their mounts the first words out of his mouth are: “this just isn’t fair to the horse.”

Hitting patches of uneven

of frustration that exists. A problem can only be solved when it is acknowledged and the blame and finger pointing stops. When a race-meeting is cancelled or abandoned, the official word is always ‘jockey protest’. That is often misleading – especially when these abandoned meets are followed by weeks and weeks of non use and maintenance – an indicator that it shouldn’t have needed a jockey alone in the first place to stand up and say ‘stop -something needs to be done’!”

A Win For The Queen?

state of affairs? The worst is not the state of the course, it’s the inability of anyone at Gold Circle to act, let alone even admit to the problem.

Gold Circle should be ashamed, selling racetracks for huge stacks of money and then squandering it. Upgrading their racing rooms so that they can sit in the lap of luxury while the horses have to suffer on tracks not even fit for Donkey racing.

At least they have a shiny new big screen to watch all of this unfold.

Trainer Steve Asmussen put an early exclamation point on the year that will mark his Hall of Fame induction when Creator staged a dramatic rally to overtake Destin by a nose in the 148th Belmont Stakes on Saturday at Belmont Park.

“IT will look good on the plaque,” exulted Asmussen, referring to his induction into the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame at Saratoga Springs, N.Y., in August.

Asmussen, 50, owns more than 7300 career victories to lead all active trainers and rank second all-time, trailing only Dale Baird. But history best remembers those trainers who send out horses to win classics, and Asmussen’s previous attempts at winning the mile-and-a-half Belmont had brought heartbreak and disappointment.

Asmussen watched in dismay when Curlin, who went on to be a two-time Horse of the Year, was outdueled by Rags to Riches, a brilliant filly, in the 2007 “Test of the Champion.”

And then Nehro could do no better than fourth for him in 2011.

But Asmussen was not

about to look back in a game that forces its participants to constantly press forward.

“It’s the best feeling right now,” he said.

Creator’s surge gave him only the fourth nose victory in Belmont history and the first since Victory Gallop, patiently ridden by Gary Stevens, thwarted a Triple Crown bid by Real Quiet and his jockey, Kent Desormeaux, in 1998.

Desormeaux, questioned throughout the years for possibly moving Real Quiet too soon, had only more frustration to show for his latest Belmont.

Recognizing that heavilyfavoured Exaggerator, second in the Kentucky Derby and winner of the Preakness Stakes, did not have much left to give, he eased him in the stretch and wound up 11th of 13 starters. Exaggerator is trained by Kent’s older brother, Keith.

“My brother and I say that when we turn this guy loose, he pops a wheelie,” Kent said.

“There was nothing there.”

It appeared that the third race in five weeks, combined with the arduous distance, was all a bit too much for Exaggerator.

“We’ll probably get him back to what he enjoys, a mile and a quarter,” Kent said.

The day belonged to Irad Ortiz Jr., 23, who already has established himself as one of the sport’s brightest young stars. He repeatedly pumped his right fist as he celebrated beyond the wire, knowing he had made all the right moves to nail Destin.

Lani, the only horse other than Exaggerator to compete in all three legs of the Triple Crown, rallied for third.

“Irad gave him the perfect trip. He saved yards and won by inches,” Asmussen said.

“He made the difference.” www.americasbestracing.net

MJ Byleveld

Cape-based jockey MJ Byleveld is one of our busiest lightweight riders.

Popular with his peers and racing fans alike, he has forged a formidable partnership with the Vaughan Marshall yard.

He chats to us about breeding cattle, the Durban season and his recent Allan Robertson win.

MJ was born in Warmbaths just outside Pretoria on 27 September 1981. He grew up on a maize and cattle farm with thoughts of horses and racing far from his mind until family friend Duggy Rens commented on his size and suggested that he consider applying to the Jockey Academy. The rest, as they say, is history.

MJ joined the Academy intake of January 1997 alongside Billy Jacobson, Corne Orffer and Denicious Smith. He’d never sat on a horse before, weighed 26kgs and could not speak a word of English.

“I was ****ing myself in the beginning, I didn’t know what was going on. It was a complete shock to the system. It was my first time away from home and back then the Academy had a thing that you were forced to stay in for the first six weeks without any contact with your family, which was a bit difficult. It makes you grow up quicker I suppose.”

“In the beginning my grandfather was against the idea, but he eventually gave in and said ‘try it and see what happens.’ But they’ve been very supportive and love it now. In fact, my dad gets the needle if I don’t ride for a week!”

His first race ride was a horse called Dale Vision for Clodagh Shaw at Clairwood, although he can’t remember the date. “It took me a while to have my first winner, but I can tell you it was on 14 July 1999 on a horse called What A Promise for Alistair Gordon.

That was a very nice day.”

Having not ridden before joining the Academy, were there any jockeys he looked up to, or modelled himself on? “Piere Strydom has always been someone I look up to and Johnny G helped me a lot as an appie.”

Career so far After a successful start in Durban, MJ was persuaded to move to Cape Town by Glen Kotzen. “It took me a while to decide, but once I said yes, I haven’t looked back. I’ve got to thank Mr Kotzen for getting me to Cape Town – my career really took off and I love it here.”

“I rode for Glen for three

and a half years and when that started not working out, Dean Kannemeyer asked me to ride for him and I was there for two and half years. When we split, I started riding work for Mr Marshall. He started giving me chances and it’s carried on from there.”

The pair have forged a solid partnership and asked what makes the relationship work, MJ says “We get along very well, but honesty and loyalty are the two big things. When I stuff up, on Monday morning I know I stuffed up and it gets settled, but not on the racecourse. He’s a nice guy to work for and if you work hard, you get the results.”

His biggest career highlights so far were the 2008 Cape Guineas on Le Drakkar for the Dean Kannemeyer yard and the 2013 Mercury Sprint on All Is Secret.

“The Mercury Sprint was my first for Mr Marshall and the Gr1’s are always the biggest highlights.” At the moment he is riding a wave of success on All Is Secret’s full sister, The Secret Is Out, who has just clocked her 3rd win on the trot in the Gr1 Allan Robertson.

“The Secret Is Out is also owned by Garth Miller – to ride two Gr1’s in the same colours is quite special and I really appreciate their loyalty in allowing me to stay with her so far.”

The Secret Is Out “We’ve known she’ll be good from day one. She’s a bit small, but when we put her on the grass, she showed some good work. She just improved from there and she did it effortlessly. She is a small filly with a big action and a big heart – that’s a big bonus. When she had her first start at Kenilworth in January, she jumped and showed quite a bit of speed and just ran away from them.

“Her next time out was in Pietermaritzburg and we thought she’d do the same, but she came out a bit slow and actually loafed a bit during the race, but when I asked her for an effort, it was instant. The Allan Robertson was exactly the same. Muzi squeezed me and forced me to ease a little, but as soon as I asked it was right there.

Going forward I think she’ll be

aimed for the Golden Slipper on July day, but we’ll see what happens.”

Outside racing “I try and keep myself busy.

I socialise quite a bit. I’m a summer person and love the beach, but other than that, I like to try and keep my hands busy, so I do a bit of woodwork and so on.”

It’s somewhat less well known that MJ is also trying his hand at the cattle farming business. “My folks moved to North West and managed to rent a piece of land and now we breed cattle. It’s a commercial operation at the moment – we sell the bulls and keep the heifers and are trying to build up a nice herd.

Similar to horse breeding really, but a bit cheaper.”

Goals “The main goal is to ride as many Gr1’s as possible – that’s what helps you go everywhere else, but I’m pretty happy in South Africa at the moment. I’ve got a nice boss and things are going well, which doesn’t make it easy to move. I’ve had offers to Mauritius, but like I say, I’m quite happy here for now.”

“I’m on a serious mission for the July and Met. I was beaten in the Met one year (2013 on Hill Fifty Four) and the July got taken away (2014 on Wylie Hall). I actually picked up the ride at scratchings and it came as a bit of a shock. I was at Kenilworth and someone asked whether I had a ride in the July and I said no. So to see my name came up was a bit of a surprise,” he reminisces.

“It’s not easy to find those rides and those horses that are going to win those races.

To get the right horse is very difficult,” he says seriously.

“Some people asked why didn’t I salute when I went past the line on Wylie Hall.

Is there any reason I should have done? Some people say it may have got me the race, but it’s a bit ridiculous to think like that.

The Stipes made the decision and if they think it’s right, they have to live with it. Weiho had him spot on. I’d been working Legislate

and I said to Justin (Snaith) the horse was flying. Then I worked Wylie Hall and he was going better than Legislate. I don’t think that horse would ever have gone past me, but that’s racing, I suppose.

With all the ups and downs of one of the toughest professions out there, is he still enjoying it?

“I love it. It’s difficult to explain, but if you love what you do, then it’s not a job, you’re having fun. That makes it a lot easier. There are a lot of politics and a lot of people who think they can ride a horse and that can get to you.

It’s alright when they know what they’re talking about, but it’s a bit harder when they don’t.”

In an industry which takes silence to a whole new level, MJ has a reputation for speaking out and recently weighed in on the Greyville & Scottsville track issue. “I’ll probably get in trouble for that again,” he sighs.

“It doesn’t seem like people enjoy honesty about their tracks here. I look at it this way – if you have a business and there is a problem, would you rather have your staff come and tell you, or would you rather just crack on? Of course it’s difficult to hear when things aren’t right, but it’s important to say ‘hey, this isn’t working the way it should, how can we fix it?’

But most people prefer to just keep quiet.”

Coastal Jockeys Association Along with Greg Cheyne, MJ was responsible for setting up the Coastal Jockeys’ Association a few years ago. What was the thinking behind that?

“It was practical reasons mainly. There were a group that weren’t happy with the way the other association was run. There weren’t going to be any changes, so we decided to start our own thing and it’s been very successful. It’s important to be part of an association in order to deal with the Operators and I must make a point of thanking them for accepting two separate entities – they have been good about dealing with both.”

Public support MJ is associated with the 3A Racing group and says, “I really enjoy the 3A guys. I’ve known them for years and they’re good supporters. They make a lot of noise, which not everyone likes, but it’s great to have support at races. Of course, good support is nice, negative support is not so much fun. It’s a bit like sitting at a rugby game and one of the players missing a kick. I guess we all have something to say when things don’t go the way we want.” Does it bother him? “Ag, not really.”

Speaking of rugby, MJ is famously a staunch Bulls supporter.

Considering how long he’s been in the Cape, isn’t it

about time he considered a Stomers jersey? “That’s won’t happen in this lifetime!”

Back to business Are there any horses he recommends keeping an eye on in the near future?

“Vaughan’s yard, basically!

The yard has been quiet for a while, but we’ve worked the babies and Vaughan has bought some really nice young horses. There are some that have won recently that look nice. Ken Truter has a young horse called Lord Balmoral – that’s very nice.”

Ever the professional, MJ is quick to mention his sponsors, Avontuur Estate.

“Greg Cheyne was the first jockey they sponsored. When he went to Hong Kong he recommended me. I went to one or two interviews and got the sponsorship.”

What does that mean in practical terms? “Mainly I get to represent the stud and through them I meet a lot of different people. It’s a great name to be associated with and when people hear I’m sponsored by them, that earns me automatic respect.

I also promote the wine and the stallions – although Var doesn’t need much help!

There has been a lot of interest in Oratorio in the sales ring, and now we just have to wait and see.”

Goodbye Johnny G

Johnny Geroudis has decided to hang up his boots. The 46yo suffered an eye injury in 2015 and after much frustration, several consultations and an operation to his left eye, called it a day last week. He was diagnosed with a detached retina, commonly caused by tiny breaks developing inside the retina, resulting in a pulling away from blood vessels, severe nearsightedness and other symptoms. The retina was re-attached during surgery, but he will have ongoing problems with depth perception, something no jockey can do without. Imagine riding a finish and being unaware of horses around you!

The number of entries received for the six feature races supporting the R4.25-million, Gr1 Vodacom Durban July at Greyville Racecourse on July 2 and one might believe there is not a single top horse from anywhere in the country that is not aimed at Africa’s Greatest Horseracing extravaganza. With the announcement of the final field for the 2 200m event not due until Tuesday 21 June, the plans for some of the hopefuls are still in limbo resulting in the largest entry for the meeting being for the R500 000, Gr3 Delta Airlines 2200 – the race normally targeted by horses that do not make the final cut for the premier event – and this year there are 48 of them!

Frankel On Fire From five runners to date he’s had four winners, each of which looks promising. And, now, two of those will be give another chance to shine, as their illustrious sire did, at Royal Ascot this week.

Cunco and Queen Kindly are both a strong chance to line up during the week long extravaganza, while last week’s Haydock winner Fair Eva who meandered home by 4-lengths in a hack canter, is already being quoted to win next May’s Gr1 1000 Guineas. Khalid Abdullah’s racing manager Lord Grimthorpe, who managed the racing career of Frankel, believes the better Frankels won’t be seen until stepped up in distance in time to come.

Zak Is Back

GAME OF THE NAME Why can’t races maintain their original names, or at least their most noteworthy names, while still ensuring the sponsor gets air time too?

In the States, Churchill Downs does it right – their premier race is simply, “The Kentucky Derby, presented

by Yum! Brands.” In Hong Kong, you will never see a race name discarded in favour of a sponsor. It will never be the Longines Cup or the Audemars Piguet Cup, it will be the Longines Hong Kong Cup and the Audemars Piguet QE II Cup. As it should be. It’s still not as bad as the old Hotham Handicap, the last-gasp Melbourne Cup qualifying race on Derby Day. Between 1993 and 1998 it underwent six name changes, reflecting the different sponsors, before it finally became the Saab Quality. Now, it is the Lexus Stakes.

Former trainer Dominic Zaki (47), has joined the team at Tellytrack in the capacity of Editorial Director. Zaki’s role at the station will be the day-to-day product, he has been charged with ensuring that the right information is flighted at the right times, including betting scrolls, tote pools and carryover figures, cutbacks from one racing centre to another and so on.

Coolmore Inspiration

Markus Jooste told Alec Hogg recently: “Steinhoff taught me you must try retain the leakage of margin in all the categories of the chain. As Ikea was the driver for me to build Steinhoff but slightly differently, Coolmore is the role model on the racing side. It’s such an unbelievable what John has done there…he has it right down to producing their own food, vets, hospital, farms, and even their own trainer. Aidan O’Brien only trains Coolmore horses. For anybody in the thoroughbred game, a visit to Coolmore is a must.”

280 000

The number of racegoers expected over the five days of Royal Ascot, which commenced on Tuesday and runs until Saturday.

The meeting’s first day featured three top-level Group One races although there have been several withdrawals because of the rain-softened going.

The meeting was set to start with its softest ground for more than 40 years. On Tuesday morning, the ground was officially described as soft after another 4mm of rain overnight. Ascot continues a big year for the Queen - who is expected to attend every day - with Thursday’s feature race renamed the Gold Cup In Honour of the Queen’s 90th Birthday.

Unprofessional

In Big

Footsteps

Matthew de Kock has been licenced as an assistant trainer to his multiple champion father Mike. The 24 year old has the world at his feet and a pedigree to match – he is the grandson of 16 times Cape champion jockey Johnny Cawcutt and after just 4 years in the job has already shown signs of being a potential chip off the old block. We wish Mat well.

Do jockeys follow routine or are they just absent minded at times?

Take 23 year old Jaswick Jordaan. At Kenilworth on 4 June he was fined R1500 for a contravention of Rule 55.4 - for failing to weigh out at the correct carded weight which resulted in a change of rider. In the very next race he was fined R1000 in terms of Rule 59.3 - in that when weighing out he failed to ride in the equipment he weighed out with.

He is not a newbie – where was his mind on that afternoon?

Curiouser & Curiouser...

I refer to my letter, under ‘It’s Official – There Are No Rules In Racing’ that was kindly published by you last week (SP 2259) and to the response that you kindly solicited from the NHA’s Mr Arnold Hyde, writes Brian Watson.

A wise man once said “when you are in hole – stop digging”.

The official stipes report on the day stated that “the starting gate on stall 12 was slightly slow to open”.

Rustar Dhow was slow into stride losing a length.

Now, following Mr Hyde’s intervention, the starting gate was only “marginally slow” to open.

Further on in the response the gate was then determined to be only “fractionally slow” to open.

So, Mr Rodrigues, which is it? You have selected three adjectives to describe an event that was very clear to the jockey – both at the time and on the slow motion replay - the gate on stall 12 did not open at the same time as the other gates. Pray tell, what is the time difference between “slightly slow”, “marginally

slow” and “fractionally slow”?

Furthermore, how are you able to decide that being slightly, marginally or fractionally slow was not enough to confuse the filly?

You state, Mr Rodrigues, that the filly, on seeing every other stall gate open, apparently turned her head causing her to be slow into stride and to lose a length. That is the gist of the Stipes Report of the start. You say that all the runners were in their stalls at the same time with all gates open. If that is so, the ineluctable conclusion to be drawn is that Rustar Dhow did not jump on equal terms – an entirely different situation and not one in accord with the jockey’s opinion (opinions seem to count in racing).

My point is very simple – either there are rules or there are not. There are many sports where discretion can play a part but where money is concerned and large sums at that, one must surely do everything possible to eliminate opinions which, or Letters can be faxed dema: eMailed to Karel Mie spost@iafrica.com Fax: (021) 761 4003 used, Pseudonyms may be e and nam full the ed vid pro are address of the sender supplied to the editor.

by definition, have to be subjective. If the filly had won the race I believe that if a rule was breached she should have been a nonstarter. Just look around, FIFA, professional tennis, cricket, football and others.

Racing is a wonderful sport and its integrity must be protected at all times. Why leave a door “slightly”, “marginally” or “fractionally” open to allow anyone to cast any aspersion on anyone’s integrity.

As a posted comment suggested, would such a situation ever be tolerated in a casino? We all know the answer. Thanks to Sporting Post for providing all associated with racing this wonderful platform to ventilate issues of concern to us all.

Ed – Rustar Dhow vindicated her connections’ faith by running a gutsy third at her second start in the 3rd race at Kenilworth last Saturday.

AMSDEN’S AMBLINGS

Who would have thought the few comments I made about the tracks would have stirred up such a storm? It was lovely to see the KZN jockeys take some form of stand regarding it by refusing to be interviewed but sadly this will be to the detriment of the whole industry, writes Joey Ramsden.

t is time KZN realises that their actions have a reaction that affects everyone involved in racing. I am not going to harp on about this as so much has been written on social media and to the Sporting Post website itself.

It is lovely to see that so many people care: people who are in the industry, on the outskirts of the industry, gamble on the industry or just love the game.

Although I have said I will not harp on the KZN track issues, a couple of things need to be mentioned.

Short Memories Gold Circle chose to bring up the fact that certain jockeys were invited to a meeting.

I am disappointed that these jockey’s memories are so short that they forgot about the meeting and did not attend. However, as one jockey says, once reminded of the meeting he made an effort but was late and was told to go home.

That has to be disappointing in its own right. The fact that something so serious can then be brushed under the carpet is extremely disappointing.

It needs readdressing and the meeting rescheduled. I cannot also skip the fact that the three trainers - or for want of a better word, three Gold Circle “stooges” - invited to the meeting are employed by Gold Circle.

Some would say that Craig Eudey is not and he and I have no beef at present. But he came up to me last year and shook my hand and told me that he worked “under Tony” - so I can only assume he has a vested interest.

Independence Whatever the facts, they can surely do better than this?

Not regarding training skills: these three are all accomplished horsemen in their own right but surely they are not independent?

One cannot help thinking the hierarchy has just made fools of themselves regarding this issue.

I do not get paid for writing for the Sporting Post; these are my personal points of view in relation to what I see going on around me. I get no pleasure from being negative about these issues

but the condition of the tracks in KZN have been up for debate for quite some time.

Greyville has had more than five or six years to sort this out and have probably made five or six attempts. To still be poking around in the dark is not good enough.

There must also be a question mark regarding the big meeting coming up at Scottsville. I want to see good tracks, good racing and a safe surface for my horses. Surely not too much to ask?

It is no good ignoring the issues and taking the ostrich approach and sticking one’s head in the sand. Surely there is plenty of advantage to be gained at sitting around a table and sorting it out? It is the sensible and best solution.

Fear Why are people so afraid of doing this?

But it happens year after year and no one gets down to actually sorting out the issues and coming up with solutions.

I do not see the sense in denying there is a problem.

There is nothing to be gained by it. Address the issues with the industry leaders and get it done and dusted once and for all. There is so much to be gained by everyone involved.

Improvement, having the best and being the best, is what we all strive for. This obviously has not happened here or we would not be moaning – year in and year out – about the same issues.

I am sure we are all tired of hearing about the condition of the KZN tracks and surely it is time for this “information black out and closed shop attitude” to change or stop completely.

We all want things to improve and surely now is the time to do it with so many top racing brains in the province.

I am in total agreement with everything Vaughan Marshall has said regarding racing surfaces and the fact that the track manager, Ralph Smout, is a great brain and a hard worker. However, something is going awry somewhere along the way.

It is time to sort this out.

I really do not want to be writing these same comments on next year’s blog!

Good Racing Saturday’s racing saw some great finishes and close results

– good for some and poor for others. No one likes to see Grade 1 races being decided in the Stipes boardroom possibly a little bit too much interference on the day and one has to ask oneself if it is a coincidence or not?

But still, considering the weather on the day, it looked as if it was going to be a howling tail wind but ended up just a strong wind but it certainly makes a difference to the results.

The three trainers - or for want of a better word, three Gold Circle “stooges” invited to the meeting are employed by Gold Circle Like everywhere else, we are extremely dusty up here at Summerveld and like most of the country, unable to do much about it with the water shortages. Colonel Avo says the Cape has finally found winter and has become icy cold in the mornings.

However, he is still churning out the juvenile winners so well done to him.

It is going to be a tough choice as to who we run in the Langerman next week.

Thugs No surprise the Euro Championship soccer thugs were out and about and I really could not care if England or Russia gets sent home. It is pathetic and spoils what should be a memorable tournament for all in what is one of the most beautiful countries in the world.

It is with terrible sadness I read about what has gone on in Orlando, Florida and it makes no sense at all. But when one has gun rules like that, what else can one expect?

It is perhaps made more ridiculous by Sky News’ coverage of the Oscar Pistorius case. Maybe it is such a regular occurrence down there in the south that fifty people being gunned down is no longer such a newsworthy event and Oscar Pistorius is getting more coverage.

What a world we live in!

CTS cape Select Mare Sale Prices 10 June 2016 - Highlands Farm, Robertson

Local Is Lekker An impressive collection of highly pedigreed international broodmares made for what must be the most successful mare sale ever held in South Africa.

The inaugural CTS Mare & Fillies For Stud Select Sale was held at Highlands on Friday 10 June.

The top priced lot was locally bred Imperious Star – a Gr1 placed Gr1 winner by Navarone (come again?) out of J&B Met winner Imperious Sue. Consigned by Nutfield Stud, and in foal to Duke Of Marmalade, she sold for R3.2 million to Lammerskraal Stud.

The mare has two previous foals, Gr1 placed (at 2, in 2016) Trippi-colt Double Appeal, and a weanling colt by Duke Of Marmalade.

Second highest price was R3.1 million, given for unraced Irishbred Galileo mare Cantabella, whose first foal is a Rock Of Gibraltar weanling colt. In foal to Captain Al, this young hopeful will also join the Lammerskraal broodmare band.

In all, nine mares went for a million and more, helping to bring the sale total to R27.9 million for 65 mares sold, with an average of R430k (and R175k median price).

Avontuur Sign Top Rider

T

South Africa’s leading apprentice jockey Callan Murray has signed a sponsorship deal with champion Cape breeders Avontuur.

he Gauteng-based rider joins senior jockeys Anthony Delpech, Greg Cheyne and MJ Byleveld, who have plied their trade for many years under the prestigious internationally acclaimed banner of the home of fast horses and fine wines.

Avontuur General Manager Pippa Mickleburgh announced on Monday that the 19 year old would join the Avontuur stable and have his first ride in his new branding at the Vaal on Tuesday 14 June.

“We proudly produce a high quality winning product both in terms of our horses and wines and take the concept of marketing and image management very seriously at Avontuur. We have great pleasure in welcoming Callan to the fold.

Talented, professional and ambitious, he fits in perfectly to where we would like our brand projected and his youthful exuberance complements our existing team of brand ambassadors perfectly,” she said.

Callan currently leads the National Champion Apprentice log by 20 winners with six weeks left of the new season. He comes out of his time at the

end of 2016. In April he rode his biggest winner to date when steering Fursa home for Mike de Kock in the Gr2 SA Fillies Nursery.

He rode 16 winners in May and is looking to ride an average of 16 winners per month to crack the magical 100 winner mark this season.

The articulate youngster, whose Attorney mother oversees the financial nuts and bolts of his career, has come a long way since riding his first winner for Charles Laird aboard the Ingrid and Markus Joosteowned Tennessee Strategy on 12 November 2013.

He is riding close on seven days a week and said that he believed that hard work had never killed anybody.

“I am starting at the bottom so take what I can get while trying to establish myself with the better stables in the various centres. I have received unbelievable support from Mr Mike de Kock and he has shown masses of confidence in me. It is a dream for any young rider and I do my best to deliver,” he said.

He added that with the amount of travelling that he was doing, it was difficult to ride work more than three days a week and then that tended to be at Randjesfontein. “It is about establishing a name

and finding a balance. Rome wasn’t built in a day and I try and maintain loyalty to those supporting me,” he says maturely.

We asked Callan if he felt that

he could win the championship.

“Lyle Hewitson is my closest threat and while I would never say that he can’t catch me, I don’t intend to stop riding

winners – and in fact find that the competition that he provides makes things interesting. He is a good rider and, like me, is very motivated to succeed. I will just keep doing the basics right and won’t be distracted by watching him in the rear view mirror either though,” he laughed.

Of his first sponsorship, he said that he was the envy of his colleagues and regarded the approach by Avontuur as an honour. “I was so thrilled to be earmarked by a sponsor of Avontuur’s stature and intend making the most of our relationship to ensure maximum mutual exposure. I hope to carry the flag with pride and even though I am more a ginger beer drinker than a wine connoisseur (at this stage!), I intend getting up to speed on the various Avontuur labels. Being in the racing industry, it is not difficult keeping up with the unbelievable exploits of stallions Var and Oratorio and the Avontuur stakes winners on the tracks,” he said.

Royal Ascot’s Finest This great festival has been graced by many outstanding subsequent sires and broodmares.

But who, of the past 30 years, have exerted the most influence on the stud book? Frankel, whose first crop has made such a sizzling beginning, looks set to join these ranks, writes Sarah Whitelaw.

HERE are the top ten most influential Royal Ascot winners, in my opinion, of the past few decades:

Danehill

1989 Gr3 Cork and Orrey Stakes (now Gr1 Golden Jubilee Stakes) One of the greatest sires in history, the late, great Danehill is the all time leading sire in history of stakes winners.

The mighty son of Danzig garnered no fewer than 39 sires titles in both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres, and his tally of 347 stakes winners include such breed shaping sires as Dansili, Redoute’s Choice, Fastnet Rock, Exceed

And Excel and Danehill Dancer. Also an exceptional broodmare sire, Danehill is damsire of unbeaten superstar, Frankel, who has made such a remarkable start to his stud career.

Giant’s Causeway Gr1 St James’s Palace Stakes 2000

A Horse Of The Year and six time Gr1 winner, Giant’s Causeway is the best sire son of legendary US sire, Storm Cat. Champion Sire in North America on three occasions, Giant’s Causeway has sired over 130 stakes winners, with his tally including the successful sires, Shamardal,

Footstepsinthesand and First Samurai.

Other notable performers by the son of Storm Cat include US champion, Take Charge Brandi, classic winner, Ghanaati, and Gr1 winners Frost Giant, Maids Causeway, Red Giant, Carriage Trail and Heatseeker.

Pivotal

Won King’s Stand Stakes 1996 A winner of four of his only six outings, Pivotal was a rags to riches sire success story and started out at the bargain fee of £6,000.

The son of Polar Falcon quickly made his mark, with his first crop including the

Gr1 winners, Kyllachy, classic winner Silvester Lady and US champion, Golden Apples.

Since then, Pivotal has gone on to be represented by more than 20 Gr1 winners, including the successful sires, Siyouni, and Kyllachy and he is also damsire of Gr1 July Cup hero and hugely promising sire, Mayson.

Cape Cross

Won Gr2 Queen Anne Stakes 1999 Now pensioned, Cape Cross (Green Desert) scored an impressive victory in the 1999 Queen Anne Stakes, where he had to give weight all round.

He has 2 Epsom Derby winners to his credit, including Sea The Stars, sire of recent Investec Derby hero, Harzand, while his Oaks winning daughter, Ouija Board, is dam of Investec D e r b y h e r o, Au s t r a l i a (Galileo).

Kingmambo

Won Gr1 St James’s Palace Stakes 1993 A blue blooded son of Mr Prospector and the great mare Miesque, triple Gr1 winner Kingmambo lived up to his pedigree by becoming an outstanding stallion in what was an all too brief a stud career. The half brother to successful South African sire, Judpot, left behind over 80 stakes winners, headed by top class sires, King Kamehameha, King’s Best and US champion, Lemon Drop Kid. Kingmambo’s best offspring also included Japan Cup winners, Alkaased and El Condor Pasa, and a plethora of English classic winners.

He is damsire of Investec Derby winners. Camelot and Ruler Of The World, as well as Cartier Champion and successful sire, Duke Of Marmalade.

Indian Ridge

Won Gr2 King’s Stand Stakes 1989 A son of top class but illfated sire, Ahonoora, Indian Ridge (like his sire before him) did not begin his stud career with much fanfare as some other Royal Ascot winners, but made a name for himself as a top class stallion, with his offspring including the Breeders’ Cup winners, Domedriver and Ridgewood Pearl, Gr1 sprinters, Compton Place and Namd, classic winner, Indian Haven, and multiple Gr1 winner, Indian Ink. He was also a top class broodmare sire, with his daughters responsible for over 80 stakes winners including dual Oaks winner, Dancing Rain.

A

top class sprinter, who ranked among the leaders of his generation, Coup De Grace’s five victories included the Gr2 Amsterdam Stakes and the historic Gr3 Bay Shore Stakes. The handsome chestnut also won the Oh Say Stakes and ran a close up third in the Gr1 King’s Bishop Stakes at Saratoga. Coup De Grace, whose time for the Amsterdam was the fastest for the 1200m distance in the US during 2014, won or placed in seven outings and earned just under $500 000 in stakes.

He joined a list of some truly outstanding racehorses when victorious in the G3 Bay Shore Stakes –with previous winners of the race including the legendary Horse Of The Year winners Damascus and Secretariat, as well as champions Bold Forbes, Gulch, Hoist The Flag, Lost In The Fog, and Trinniberg.

Coup De Grace is also among an elite group of thoroughbreds to have tasted success in the Gr2 Amsterdam Stakes. Past winners of this 1200m contest (the traditional prep for the Gr1 King’s Bishop Stakes) include champion Kodiak Kowboy, multiple G1 winner Quality Road, as well as the outstanding sires City Zip, Distorted Humor, and Successful Appeal.

He is one of 80 stakes winners for 2004 Gr1 Wood Memorial winner Tapit, who has been Champion Sire in the USA for the past two years and is once again is heading that general sires list. Currently the most expensive sire standing in North America (he stands for a fee of $300 000), Tapit has been represented by no fewer than 12 stakes winners in 2016, headed by G1 Arkansas Derby winner Creator and G2 UAE Derby hero Lani. To date, Tapit has 18 individual G1 winners to his credit, headed by G1 Belmont Stakes winner Tonalist, and the Breeders’ Cup winners Hansen, Stardom Bound, Tapitsfly, Tapizar and Untapable. Tapit is also a highly promising sire of sires, with his early sons at stud including Tapizar (one of the leading first crop sires in the

USA), and Trappe Shot, sire of Gr1 contender My Man Sam. Another son, the brilliant Hansen, recently got off the mark with his first winner and he too looks a young sire of promise.

Coup De Grace is out of the talented mare Home Court, who won two of just four outings and who ran third in the Gr3 Iowa Oaks.

This regally bred mare is a daughter of multiple champion sire and broodmare sire Storm Cat and US champion, and Gr1 Breeders’ Cup Distaff winner Jewell Princess.

This handsome speedster traces back directly in female line to champion 2yo filly Queen Empress and this is the family of successful sires King Emperor and What Luck.

ATING SPEED R WON 11/2

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

with Steve Furnish

Bulleting Home

Turffontein 5th June They raced on the inner track on Sunday where three of the afternoon’s nine races were staged over 1600m. Quickest on the clock amongst these was the aptly named BULLETING HOME winner of the MR90 Handicap. Soon positioned close to the speed, the 16/10 favourite was always poised to strike.

He did so going through the 400m and cruised in by three and a quarter, despite being eased down late. They also ran three races over 1450m and stopping the clock in the fastest time here was DALLEY when getting off the mark in the girls’ maiden plate. Confidently ridden by Gunter Wrogemann the odds on shot sat eighth of the ten for most of the journey.

She ran on strongly in the short home straight and comfortably accounted for A WOMAN’S WILL by two and a half.

The faster of the two maiden juvenile plates over 1450m was the boy’s affair won by the well-drawn OLD OAK TREE. Freely available at 12/1 on the off, Joey Soma’s charge was soon up handy. He was ridden to lead as they approached the 300m marker and kept on strongly at the business end of the race to beat the running on favourite SHORTSTOP by three quarters.

TITBITS

Three Steps To Profit Fairview 6th June Seeing the action in Port Elizabeth on Monday was the poly track where quickest home in the opening two maiden juvenile plates over 1200m were the boys headed by SOVIET COSMONAUT. Sent off third in the betting market at 7/2, the most experienced runner in the field made all.

He was always in command and won without any anxious moments by two. There were six races run over 1200m in total and fastest of all was the 3yo JUAN TWO THREE when registering his fifth career victory from just eleven starts in the MR91 Handicap. The best bet on the card for many, the 12/10 favourite also led throughout. He enjoyed a two and a quarter lengths advantage for most of the journey, and although that was whittled right down to just a neck, he did have the runner up HAPPY LION held at the wire.

The three remaining races all took place over 1600m and stopping the clock in the fastest time here was RAZED IN BLACK. Freely available at 13/2 on the off, the Kahal gelding was content to sit in midfield during the early part of the race. Once in the short home straight though he quickened well, and with the rest comfortably beaten he got the better of GRAPE VINE by a half.

TITBITS SEATTLE BURNING won the girl’s division of the maiden juvenile plate over 1200m going away by five and a quarter.

FLAMING ACE and NEPTUNE’S GIRL both ran on well from the rear when 1st & 2nd respectively in the MR73 Handicap over 1600m.

Vaal 7th June Three of the nine races at the Vaal’s new classic track on Tuesday were staged over 1450m and fastest against the clock in these was PAY AS YOU GO in the second division of the MR68 Handicap. Nicely drawn in barrier four the son of Fort Wood was taken straight to the front by apprentice Mjoka and led throughout. He was four lengths clear going through the 400m and that proved to be just enough to beat the heavily supported favourite CAPTAIN CHIPS (10/1 into 28/10) by a neck. The faster of the two 1000m races was the MR80 Handicap won by the 3yo RONNIE ROCKET. He got away well when the gates opened and soon up handy raced prominent throughout. He was ridden to lead as they approached the 100m marker and comfortably accounted for the running on RAFA by a length and a quarter.

The not so lucky last was a MR68 Handicap and in what proved to be the faster of the two 1600m events, ALLEGORICAL landed the spoils. Freely available at 12/1 on the off, the Oracy filly raced in midfield during the early part of TOP SPEED RATINGS the race. She ran on stoutly down the for this WEEKEND long home straight and won going (Ratings shown have already been away by two and a half after striking adjusted to allocated weights) the front 150m from home.

TITBITS FAIRVIEW (FRI) Lightly raced THE SHREDDER never engaged the upper gears when easily accounting for his ten rivals in the maiden juvenile plate over 1200m.

Scottsville 8th June Two maiden juvenile plates over 1000m got proceedings underway in Pietermaritzburg on Wednesday and the faster of these was the boy’s division won by the newcomer YANKEEDOODLEDANDY. Sent off a joint second favourite at 4/1, the son of Brave Tin Soldier raced close up in fourth. He ran on strongly over the final 400m and with the rest comfortably beaten he got up late to deny his fellow joint second favourite BARON BELLET. The faster of the two 1200m races, a maiden juvenile plate, was also won by a newcomer in HACK GREEN. Allowed to drift right out to 16/1 from 7’s during the morning, Dennis Drier’s charge raced in midfield for most of the journey. He quickened well when given rein 400m out and after

striking the front 300m later, he went on to score with authority by a length and a half.An allowance plate over 1400m topped the bill and here it was nice to see the best weighted runner in the field HEARTLAND show his well-being. On leaving the stalls it was BUDAPEST who somewhat predictably made the running, whilst Justin Snaith’s charge was always poised to strike in third. He did so shortly after passing the 300m pole and won well by two and a half from the running on BEAT THE RETREAT.

TITBITS

Sent off a strong even money favourite, the newcomer WARM NIGHT ALICE only really got going late when running on strongly to fill second position in the maiden plate over 1200m.

Four of the eight races on the inside track on Thursday were staged over 1400m and stopping the clock in the fastest time here was the Sean Tarry trained MOMBELA. Not the quickest into stride, the lightly raced son of Trippi very quickly found himself positioned in the rear, and still looked to have more than enough to do going through the 400m. Once given the go ahead though, he quickened in good style and won going away by a length and a half after striking the front 150m from home. Another to win well from off the pace on this card was the newcomer SHEBANG when

causing a major upset in the maiden juvenile plate for the girls over 1200m. The lesser fancied of Michael Azzie’s two runners the daughter of Greys Inn was freely available at 40/1 on the off. From halfway she ran on strongly from her position in midfield, and comfortably accounted for her stable companion KNYSNA ROSE (also ran on well from midfield) by a length and a half. The faster of the two 1700m races was the MR72 Handicap won by SILVER PEG. Always well positioned in what was a very tightly bunched field throughout, the son of Jay Peg quickened well when the race began in earnest and just got the better of the running on AMERICAN TIGER by a neck.

TITBITS The 3yo BLUE SAGE comfortably accounted for her ten rivals when getting off the mark in the maiden plate over 1700m.
