MR 90 HANDICAP at Kenilworth on Wednesday
W
Dean Kannemeyer has commenced his Cape Summer campaign in earnest and steps out the ‘exceptionally late maturing’ Cape Laddie for his major patron Khaya Stables at Kenilworth in midweek.
e humans, especially the punting variety, are creatures of habit. Most of us prefer the predictable and getting into a routine. So after an uncustomary Thursday slot last week, it is good to have our local racing back in its regular time bracket of a Wednesday afternoon.
PA Opener
A well patronised eight-race programme greets punters on Wednesday, with the mile MR 90 Handicap opening the Place Accumulator. The very lightly raced Cape Laddie, a fullbrother to Gr2 Peninsula Handicap winner Light The Lights, tops the SP ratings and
trainer Dean Kannemeyer has given the Hallmark Thoroughbreds – bred son of Western Winter the vote of confidence. “I have taken things very slowly with this 4yo. He really has been an exceptionally slow maturing specimen but was good enough to win early on. He ran a good race on the poly on July Day and ran close up at his post-maiden to that horse that won the Grand Heritage (Irish Pride). “
In Need
Kannemeyer went on to say that Cape Laddie had been ‘’badly in need’ of his return run on 1 November, when just over a length off Dancer. “He has come on lengths with that run under his belt and strips a much fitter athlete on Wednesday. I am not worried about the second run post a rest syndrome as he was not off for an extended period. I think he
will go close,” he added. When asked about Cape Laddie’s prospects, Kannemeyer said that he felt that Cape Laddie would go 2000m. “He is well related and the family have proven versatile. I will take it one race at a time with him.”
Chestnut Chaser
Cape Laddie’s’ major opposition could lie with Justin Snaith’s supremely consistent Star Chestnut. Cont. p.2
