MR 87 HANDICAP at Vaal on Thursday The progeny of superstar sire Var are always in demand. He has seven lots on the CTS Emperors Palace Johannesburg Ready To Run Sale which commences on Thursday 24 November. That is the same afternoon one of his good sons will attempt to get back into the winning enclosure at the Vaal.

A

vontuur’s flag-bearer has changed many lives with his offspring setting the track alight and trainer Corne Spies will be keen to get the 4yo Kingofthworld back to winning ways when he lines up in the R106 000 MR 87 Handicap.

Class

Kingoftheworld was considered good enough as a youngster to compete in the juvenile features and has always had a touch of class about him. Spies and stable jockey Craig Zackey are running at a respectable 13% win strike-rate.

The lightly-raced Dorrie Sham-bred gelding has shown top-class speed in achieving his 3 wins from 10 starts and showed nice pace when only 1,75 lengths off Greasepaint in an MR 92 Handicap at the same venue last Thursday. That run came under two weeks after he ran out of the money at Kimberley and was reported not striding out. His medical issues aside, he strips a fit horse here and could challenge – despite

joint top weight. Recent form is a rare commodity in certain cases amongst his ten opponents but the best could be Clint Binda’s Hililyhililyhilo, who enjoys the services of Piere Strydom. The former Cape-based son of Great Britain, a course and distance winner, had been a model of consistency up to his last run when fading to finish just over 5 lengths behind Fareeq. The 1400m may have caught him out and he will

...at the Emperors Palace Ready To Run Sale 24 - 25 November, Randjesfontein

be more comfortable with the 200m drop in trip.

Good Sort

Tommy Waterdevil has always looked a promising sort but is 2kgs worse off with Hililyhililyhilo for a 2,50 length beating last time. Joint topweight, Joey Soma’s Miracle Bureau, was outclassed in the Golden Loom but had good form prior to that, including a cracking run in the Grand Heritage. Cont. p.2
