Gr3 CHRISTMAS HANDICAP at Greyville on Monday

T

History shows that the R250 000 Gr3 Christmas Handicap to be run at Greyville on Boxing Day is no brightly wrapped gift for punters. In fact the handicapper does such an outstanding job that with the last five year’s winners arriving at odds of 50/1, 12/1 (twice), 10/1 and 7/1, who could possibly be looking for a banker? is the season of giving but attempting any exotic bet economy in this eleven horse contest could be tantamount to throwing hard-earned rands down the drain.

The handicapper distinguishes himself year in and year out in this race and he could pull another trick out of the bag on Monday.

Popular

Last year’s runner-up Stormy Eclipse will be a popular choice to deliver the presents in 2016 with the ever reliable regular pilot Anton Marcus back in the irons.

The grey son of Dynasty is very consistent and ran contrary to his usual style last time when going handy and staying on for third and 2,75 lengths behind Budapest over the Scottsville 1500m.

He meets the Van Zyl runner on a kilo better terms over a more favourable trip, and will probably be effective if ridden quietly off a decent gallop.

Sean Tarry saddles two good 4yo’s in Lunar Approach and the nicely weighted, Rikitikitana.

The latter, a son of Toreador, has held his form well in his last three starts and will enjoy a reversion to the turf track.

Lyle Hewitson takes the ride.

Stablemate Lunar Approach has not been far off them recently and this once highly regarded 3yo, who ran a smashing third in the inaugural Grand Heritage, could be a serious contender in the hands of S’manga Khumalo.

The Wright One

Alyson Wright’s Mr Roy has shown himself to be more than capable of holding his own and there will be little between him, Budapest and Stormy Eclipse.

This well bred son of Western Winter has drawn beautifully at 1 and has the form that suggests a win is not far off.

Gareth van Zyl has made a good start to his training career and topweight Celtic Captain will always be a special horse – being his first feature winner when scoring in the Listed Michaelmas Handicap at his last start.

He is as much as 2kgs worse off with Ashton Park for a half length beating last time, but has good form on this surface and cannot be disregarded.

There should also be very little to choose between his stablemate Budapest and Mr Roy on their last meeting.

Budapest has drawn wider than preferred but appears to be more committed with the pacifiers fitted and is a dangerous front-runner when on song.

Back For Christmas

Derryl Daniels makes a welcome return this Christmas to ride Ashton Park for Candice Bass-Robinson.

The son of Battersea Park has drawn poorly and has only 1 win to his credit in over two years of racing.

He has run some good races in top company and must have a chance if bringing his best show to races.

Dean Kannemeyer’s 6yo Giant’s Causeway gelding Capel Top is a seven time winner from 27 starts and was walloped 6 points for a smooth course-and-distance win at his last start.

He comes in with a handy galloping weight of 52kgs, and could challenge for the places if maintaining his form.

Veteran Andrew Fortune makes a trip down to Durban to ride the rather disappointing Black Minnaloushe gelding Sylvester The Cat for Duncan Howells.

A winner at Scottsville in July, he has produced two quiet runs and may be more comfortable on thses handicap terms. He will have to improve though.

Unlikely

The Frank Robinsontrained Great Rumpus returns from a 25 week break.

The 7yo’s form tapered negatively during the SA Champions Season and he is another who may be more competitive in this more modest off-season handicap company.

That said, he will need more to challenge for the cheques.

Kumaran Naidoo saddles the former Aiden O’Brien and Paul Lafferty-trained USA bred Royal Navy Ship, a son of War Front, who has his third SA start.

His progress in this country has probably not been quite as intended with his scheduled run in the Gr 2 Peermont Emperor’s Palace Charity Mile failing to materialise.

His only career win came on

debut in October 2014 where he beat 21 other two-year-olds over 1400m at the Curragh in yielding conditions. He did run a Gr3 placing. He looks likely to need 2000m to show his best and cannot exactly be regarded a threat in this field.

Caution

In a weekend of celebration and some permissible overindulgence, we have to suggest caution in this field.

Stormy Eclipse has the form to run them down and showed his paces in the same event last year.

The enthusiastic Rikitikitana has 5,5kgs in hand and will be finishing with zeal as he always does.

It doesn’t end there with Mr Roy and Celtic Captain snapping at their heels.

Have a blessed time of it and a winning weekend.

SOUTHEASTER SPRINT (Listed) at Kenilworth on Saturday The R150 000 Listed Southeaster Sprint brings the curtain down on the 2016 Cape feature programme at Kenilworth on Saturday. It looks a tricky handicap to negotiate with mature speed firepower interspersed with some sketchy recent form. It goes without saying that there could be a surprise lurking.

rett Crawford’s Gr1 Cape Flying Championship winner Gulf Storm is the obvious class in the eleven horse field and, while he has plenty to do off the 62kg mark, will strip a fitter horse after his solitary prep run, when 2,30 lengths off his subsequent Merchants winning stablemate Search Party. Just off the best of them and now a 6yo, Gulf Storm is an eight-time winner with ample capacity and proven course capability, to still add to his bank.

The 2015 Gr2 Cape Merchants winner Triptique ran a cracker behind New Predator in the Drill Hall Stakes, but has failed to live up to anything near that sort of performance since.

Winless in over a year, Dennis Drier tries the blinkers again and it is worth taking cognisance of this 5yo’s tumble down the ratings.

That surely means that he could get back to winning ways soon and he will be primed and ready – having his third run this term.

Candice Bass-Robinson enjoyed a day of mixed emotions last Saturday – saddling her first Gr2 success but also enduring a host of seconds. She sends out a trio, headed by last year’s runnerup Ernie. The 2016 Listed Sophomore Sprint winner has proven a little disappointing but after a fair 4,40 lengths Merchants effort may well be ready to put his best foot forward again.

Evergreen Anton Marcus rides his stable companion, the evergreen Gr2 winning 7yo Tevez.

The son of Caesour will find this drop in class to his liking and has been close enough at his recent starts to make a top

four choice in this line up. It is interesting to note that stable jockey Grant van Niekerk rides the weakest of the three in the troubled Line Break. The son of Dynasty has poor form and cannot be included on current showings. The Var gelding Tar Heel is back at home after acquitting himself quite well up in Gauteng.

His good second to Bull Valley in the Golden Loom brings him in with a chance here, but he is probably most effective over the minimum trip and the extra 100m could prove to be a bridge too far.

Jolly Good Richard Fourie is riding like a man possessed and partners the handily weighted and progressive La Favourari.

The son of Querari faces his biggest test to date, but has run close enough to the likes of promising contemporaries Attenborough and Pillar Of Hercules, to suggest that he may be a few points better than his 89 merit rating.

Captain Swarovski won two consecutive races at this track in January as a 3yo and then after two feature fails picked up a Greyville polytrack win.

He is yet to assert himself this term but has not been far off and could find his winning ways again.

Double Glen Puller’s Asstar was unplaced in this event last year, but found some form

with two good wins up in KZN during the SA Champions Season. The son of Ashaawes failed to show when possibly need the run and 7,85 lengths behind Search Party in the Merchants.

He is likely to strip much fitter and could find the place money.

The Vaughan Marshall yard will still be on a high after their Guineas glory on Saturday, but won’t be holding out too much hope for their pair of Olympian and Vincente.

Olympian is a few kilos better off with Tevez and Gulf Storm on their last meeting, but should still find this tough going – even on handicap terms.

His well-bred stablemate Vincente returns from a stint up North with Louis Goosen.

The Var entire is top-class but has his issues. He finished only 5,90 lengths off Bull Valley in the Golden Loom and off a galloping 52kgs, could find a winning run if sound.

Tactics This is a very competitive handicap, where luck at the break and race tactics with the south-easter blowing, likely to play their part.

The cream usually rises to the top and we are going to suggest Gulf Storm the value at the expense of Tevez and Triptique.

The lightly weighted Vincente can be regarded the dark horse.

Captain Al’s Festive Fling

When William Longsword won the Gr1 Cape Guineas last Saturday, he became his champion sire’s 16th Gr1 winner – and also the Klawervlei King’s third consecutive Cape Summer Of Champions December feature success! On 3 December his son Search Party went start to finish to win the Gr2 Merchants. A week later, his daughter Jo’s Bond repeated the feat- going all the way to upstage Gr1 winners Carry On Alice and Real Princess in the Gr2 Southern Cross Stakes. Then William Longsword maintained the streak on Saturday. Justin Snaith’s Captain Swarovski is the only ‘Captain’ in Saturday’s Listed Southeaster Sprint – can he complete a rare feat for his sire?

Goodtime Gal Is Flying Gr3 VICTRESS STAKES at Kenilworth last Saturday

T Gr2 PREMIER TROPHY at Kenilworth last Saturday

I

Trainer Candice Bass-Robinson registered her biggest success since taking the reins from her famous Dad, when the Go Deputy gelding Icy Trail scored an eyecatching win in the R400 000 Gr2 Premier Trophy at Kenilworth on Saturday.

t has been a tough few months converting the seconds into firsts for the Bass Racing Team, who will be hoping that Icy Trail’s courageous win will mark a change in the 40 year old family operation’s fortunes. The Brian and Kathy Finch-owned 4yo certainly came into the eight horse field looking to have a tough task at the weights, but scored his third win in succession and showed that he could be much better than rated.

After their Jet Master Stakes disappointment with Horizon, the combination was keen to change their luck – particularly the young jockey who turned zero to

hero after coming out of the previous race something of the villain of the peace.

Icy Trail was relaxed a few lengths off them early, as his stablemate Helderberg Blue led Dynamic and Prince Of Wales.

The lead changed hands around halfway as Greg Cheyne upped the ante on Dynamic.

With Dynamic bringing the field for home, Krambambuli was the first to challenge as Icy Trail went with him, with a half length to make up.

At the 300m an aggressively ridden Icy Trail hit the front as Grant van Niekerk kept him going to ward off Krambambuli, who came again to only be beaten 0,30

lengths in a time of 112,21 secs. Mike de Kock Sun Met hopeful Bold Rex was given every chance but again appeared to throw in the towel late in proceedings.

He finished third. but in his defence it may well be that he just does not stay this far.

The 5-2 favourite Prince Of Wales did not have the easiest of passages, but was finishing best to be only beaten a length back in fourth.

A R270 000 National Yearling Sale purchase, the Lammerskraal Stud-bred Icy Trail is by Go Deputy out of the nine-time winning Jallad mare, Icy Air. He has won 6 races with 3 places from 14 starts, for stakes of R566 025.

A leading Cape racing stable has a vacancy for a motivated and disciplined self-starter to commence duties early in 2017.

This opportunity offers the right individual the scope to grow and develop in a professional environment.

A minimum of three years’ experience in a racing related environment would be an advantage.

Former Sorrento stallion Royal Air Force sired his first stakes winner at Kenilworth on Saturday when the Mike Robinson trained Goodtime Gal stormed home to win the R250 000 Gr3 Victress Stakes.

he strapping son of Jet Master – he stands at 17 hands – has sadly been consigned to covering non thoroughbreds in Pretoria these days after a lack of opportunity denied him any real chance of establishing himself as a commercial stallion.

Sorrento’s Terry Andrews was thrilled with the stakes win, which went some way to vindicating his belief in the sire.

“The shareholders didn’t have the mares in any numbers to send to him and without the opportunity, it is very difficult to get enough runners on the tracks to get the momentum going. But that is the nature of life. I am glad we have a few of his

progeny and we are hopeful of their prospects,” said the veteran stud master.

Trained by Geoff Woodruff, Royal Air Force ran only 14 times for 4 wins in the interests of the late Abe Swersky and Woodruff’s famous father in law, Terrance Millard.His biggest win was registered in the 2007 Gr2 Astrapak 1900. Another man who was smiling after the Victress Stakes was Phillipi soldier Mike Robinson, who last saddled a Gr3 winner back in 2014 when Jay Peg’s daughter Hot Affair scorched to victory in the Kenilworth Fillies Nursery.

Robinson had the consistent Goodtime Gal tuned to the minute and the in-form Richard Fourie put the cherry on the cake, producing the 4yo at the 200m with a finely

timed run after pacesetter Harlem Shake had faded.

Goodtime Gal was in full stride and drew away to beat Nightingale by 0,75 lengths in a time of 112,76 secs.

The Justin Snaith-trained Qing showed a revival of her better form, as she came out of the pack under Piere Strydom to grab third.

Bred by Dr Stan Davis, Goodtime Gal is from the third crop of Royal Air Force. She is out of the Silvano mare Tirza.

Goodtime Gal, who races in the interests of former Gr1 owner Juan van Heerden, has been a model of consistency and the stakes win was certainly just reward.

She has earned at all but one of her starts – having won 4 races with 9 places from 14 starts for stakes of R478 325.

Gr3 CAPE SUMMER STAYERS HANDICAP at Kenilworth last Saturday

Marcus’ Badge Of Honour

S

The smaller Cape yards held their own on Guineas day.

Milnerton based Adam Marcus followed his colleague Mike Robinson’s example when saddling the third Gr3 winner of his career, courtesy of the Go Deputy gelding Royal Badge who outstayed his opposition to win the R250 000 Gr3 Cape Summer Stayers.

outh Africa’s youngest trainer, Marcus major successes included Priceless Jewel (an Ashaawes halfsister to Saturday’s winner) who won the Gr3 Prix Du Cap and Gr3 Champagne Stakes in 2014, followed by Crystal Cavern winning the 2015 Listed Stormsvlei Mile.

He was obviously thrilled to lead in a feature winner on one of the major days of the Cape Summer of Champions.

The 2500m contest drew a decent field of 13 and surviving Pick 6 players went into the final leg of the popular exotic bet with a tricky mountain to climb.

With Dean Kannemeyer’s classy stayer Cape Speed a lukewarm 4-1 favourite and East Cape Derby winner Captain Splendid next on offer at 5-1, the race was wide open and it was not surprising to see a ‘roughie’ emerging from the deep.

Gothic led early as Corne

Orffer had Royal Badge relaxed in midfield on the rail.

Gothic was passed around halfway by Kenilworth Cup winner Smart Mart, who in turn was challenged early in the straight by Dynastic Power.

All the while Royal Badge had been making good ground, and with Smart Mart and Dynastic Power coming under pressure early in the straight, Corne Orffer gave the son of Go Deputy his head and the 4yo stayed on best to beat the always committed Three Balloons by 2,75 lengths in a time of 156,80 secs.

The pacemaker Smart Mart stayed on for third.

Royal Badge shed his maiden first time out over 1200m and had previously only ever been tried up to 2000m, having won at 1800m.

His excellent third behind Bass-Robinson star Marinaresco in the Gr3 Winter Classic gave some notice of his potential, and

he could now train on into something decent.

The winner was the second Go Deputy feature scorer on the afternoon.

He was bred by James Armitage and is out of the Kahir Almaydan mare So Royal, who won seven races from a mile to 1800m.

Royal Badge has won 4 races with 2 places from 11 starts and stakes of R318 310.

His short-term target is the Gr2 stayers event on Sun Met day.

Sixteen long years spanned trainer Vaughan Marshall’s patient pause between Gr1 Cape Guineas’ drinks.

ut the astute Milnerton conditioner kept things in the family with Captain Al’s son William Longsword emulating his highly vaunted sire’s 2000 feat in overcoming a wide draw to score in the prestigious classic.

We won’t ask Mr Marshall which was the sweetest of his four Guineas successes, but it must feel like only yesterday that Jeff Lloyd piloted the legendary Captain Al in the pink Dos Santos silks from the 16/16 draw to win the then Cape Argus Guineas on a beautiful January day.

The only downside on reflection probably being the fact that the stake has only doubled in all this time!

But Saturday belonged to the Marshall and Mayfair Speculators team as William Longsword, named after the second ruler of Normandy, showed his Selangor Cup run to be all wrong – turning the tables on the winner Gold Standard and the boom Australian-bred colt, Table Bay, amongst others.

With Cape Classic winner Table Bay at the top of the boards after his Selangor Cup disappointment, and amid the public undertaking of a more patient ride, the son of Redoute’s Choice was taken out to lead, ahead of the fighting Elusive Path, with Africa Rising holding his rails position ahead of William Longsword.

Marcus eased up marginally on Table Bay up front as Elusive Path challenged at the top of the straight, with William Longsword moving up powerfully down the centre.

At the 350m marker, MJ Byleveld smelt blood as he cracked on and grabbed a few lengths on William Longsword, with Gold Standard unwinding.

In a determined drive to the wire, Byleveld wasn’t letting this big one slip from his grasp as he drove the improved again William Longsword out to a sensational half length win in a time of 99.34 secs.

This was a third win in the race in five years for SA’s champion owners after Variety Club (2011) and Act Of War (2014).

Glen Kotzen’s Selangor Cup winner Gold Standard came out of the pack with intent and was not disgraced in running a courageous

second, after the Marshall bird had flown and caught him marginally flat-footed.

The runner-up looks an exciting Investec Cape Derby prospect and will relish the extra 400m.

An elated Avontuur sponsored MJ Byleveld said that the winner was fit and well and had given him confidence after an encouraging breeze-up on Thursday.

“I couldn’t drop him in as he is a longstriding horse. We tracked Anton (Marcus) and Table Bay and when I saw them in trouble at the 400m I knew we would go close. Thanks to the whole team and to Mr Jooste and Mr Brugman,” he said.

Trainer Vaughan Marshall, who had shrewdly supplemented William Longsword after his last win, thanked the Mayfair Speculators’ team for placing such a magnificent horse in his care.

He also paid tribute to his staff for the hard work.

The favourite Table Bay – also in the Mayfair Speculators silks – was given every chance by Anton Marcus, who had slowed the gallop down up front. But it didn’t work and he had nothing to come late in the race, conclusively beaten 3,75 lengths into third.

Phillipi hope Elevated came on strongly to grab fourth, just ahead of the luckless low-flyer Edict Of Nantes, who came from near last turning for home.

Dingaans winner Singapore Sling was beaten 4,60 lengths into seventh, while the KZN challengers Hack Green (5,50 lengths) and Gunner (11,55 lengths) left with their tails between their legs.

Mike de Kock’s Met entry Heavenly Blue finished in midfield, after not finding anything from an unfavourable draw.

William Longsword, a R2,2 million Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 purchase, was bred by Klawervlei Stud.

The son of past champion sire Captain Al is out of the once winning Fort Wood mare, Pagan Princess. That makes him a half-brother to Dean Kannemeyer’s Gr1 winning Real Princess.

A winner of 5 races with 1 place from 7 starts, William Longsword has now banked stakes of R817 500. Where to next for William? We await that next move with interest.

Fifty Cents’ dramatic victory in the Listed Jet Master Stakes at Kenilworth on Saturday heralded a 66th individual stakes winner for South Africa’s reigning champion sire, Trippi. Bred by Drakenstein Stud, Fifty Cents survived an objection to hold on to the winner’s cheque. On the same afternoon, Trippi’s Gr2 Selangor Cup winning son Gold Standard chased William Longsword home in the Gr1 Cape Guineas.

Trippi has over 120 stakes horses to his credit thus far.

TOP OF Party THE Animal SLOPS Run on the same day as our own Sun Met, the inaugural US$12 million Gr1 Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream Park will host a rematch between rising star Arrogate and the popular 2014 US Horse Of The Year California Chrome.

Arrogate shot to the top of the World’s Best Racehorse Rankings following his thrilling win over Chrome in the Gr1 Breeders’ Cup Classic in November. Chrome will ship to Gulfstream Park on 6 January to familiarise himself with the track and his biggest challenge could lie in the underfoot conditions, - there is plenty of rain in Florida around that time of the year and they are known to often race in the mud.

Tabcorp and its racing broadcaster Sky Racing are creating pathways into media careers for the fairer sex. The recent recruitment of Lizzie Jelfs, a former stable foreman for top trainer David Hayes, means Sky and Tabcorp now has 10 female presenters in its stable of stars. 5 of those are former jockeys - Bernadette Cooper, Libby Hopwood, Priscilla Schmidt, Chantelle Buckley and Chynna Marston. Tellytrack have former jockeys Nadine Low Ah-Kee and Vicky Minnot, together with Julie Alexander, on their presenting staff.

Justin Snaith’s grassgreen Sir Frenchie (2c ex Volando by Viscount) was a good winner on debut at Kenilworth on Saturday.

Owner Braam van Huyssteen said that ‘Frenchie’ was slang for party animal. His win coincided with his sire, Coolmore Australia’s Choisir, producing his 78th stakes winner at Doomben on the same day. Champ Elect (2f ex Champalou by Encosta De Lago) scored a smooth win in the Listed Calaway Gal Stakes over 1110m. Choisir has sired 30 stakes winning 2yo’s, including the Gr1 winners Olympic Glory, The Last Lion and Choice Bro.

Avontuur-sponsored jockey Greg Cheyne swept past Andrew Fortune and into the lead on the SA Jockey log after Monday’s Fairview meeting. He teamed up with his East Cape boss Alan Greeff to boot home 4 winners on the eight-race programme. Cheyne has often labelled his Greeff association as ‘the best job in SA horseracing’.

Drakenstein’s Kris S stallion Philanthropist, whose first local crop has produced a pair of graded winners, has caught the eye in recent times. His filly Outlander impressed at the Vaal last Thursday when bolting home by 8 lengths. Trained by Corne Spies, the well-related 2yo was bred by Klawervlei Stud and was a R250 000 buy from this year’s Emperors Palace Select Yearling Sale.

MUCH NEEDED Genuine Phantom BREAK? Irish Gr1 trainer Paul Gilligan has been disqualified for six months after he was found guilty of deliberately running a horse that had previously run at an unrecognised meeting in Ireland. He was found in breach of rule (A) 29.1 in that he raced Dubawi Phantom at Uttoxeter in June 2014 after the horse had run at the Dingle festival in Ireland in August 2013 under the name of Ayres Rock. Dubawi Phantom, who won the Uttoxeter race under Richard Johnson, has been disqualified from the contest.

A leading trainer told Short Heads that trying to book a jockey to ride over New Year was more difficult than winning the July. “If you need the income and the winners, one would think they’d be keen to work and ride!” he said.

Considering that over 40 SA jockeys have ridden two or less winners in close on five months this season, we’d imagine they would be queuing up to ride.

From The Hip Andrew Fortune’s chirp to Julie Alexander at Turffontein last Tuesday. “Good to see you Jules, but where do you get those other useless Tellytrack presenters from?”

Dubai World Cup Carnival 2017

De Kock’s There Fifty Cents In Numbers The Value A number of exciting horses are set to make the trip to Dubai’s winter sunshine this January where they will compete for a share of the $10,925,000 prize money across 61 Thoroughbred and 4 Group Purebred Arabian races held outside Dubai World Cup day.

M

eydan Group has released the list of horses accepted for the 2017 Dubai World Cup Carnival which gets under way at Meydan Racecourse on Saturday January 5, 2017.

The list features 217 accepted horses from 18 countries with 19 Gr1 winners, 10 Gr2 winners and 25 Gr3 winners among them.

Mike de Kock and Paul Lafferty are the only two South African conditioners with horses.

De Kock, the most successful international trainer of the Dubai World Cup Carnival is to be represented by a strong team.

These include 2015 UAE Derby winner and 2016 Dubai World Cup runner up, Mubtaahij back at Meydan following a second stint in the US where he was second in the Grade 1 Woodward Stakes.

Familiar faces Ertijaal, Anaerobio and Sanshaawes will be joined by new blood including Investec Dingaans and Grand Parade Cape Guineas winner Noah from Goa, Argentine galloper, Sultaran Dubai and useful filly, Fursa, winner of the Gr2 SA Nursery in South Africa.

A number of exciting horses are set to make the trip to Dubai’s winter sunshine this January where they will compete for a share of the $10,925,000 prize money across 61 Thoroughbred and four Group Purebred Arabian races held outside Dubai World Cup day.

Guineas Winner For Stud Cape Guineas winner William Longsword’s fans are set to turn out in numbers on Sun Met day when the sensational son of Captain Al is likely to make his swansong appearance in the $500 000 CTS 1600.

e is then set to join the powerful Klawervlei stallion team at the magnificent farm of his birth. The Mayfair Speculators owned William Longsword exploded to prominence at Kenilworth on Saturday to win the prestigious classic, in the process beating the cream of South Africa’s 3yo crop.

In so doing, he emulated the feat of his champion sire who won the same race from a similarly unfavourable draw in 2000.

William Longsword’s victory provided Klawervlei with a unique Cape Guineas-Cape Fillies Guineas double, having also bred the 2016 Gr1 Cape Fillies Guineas winner Just Sensual.

Mayfair Speculators Racing Manager Derek Brugman said that the plans were to give William Longsword one final run before sending him to Klawervlei.

Being a miler, he is poised to be a natural successor for his illustrious sire, with the Equus Champion Sprinter Captain Of All having completed his first season there in 2015.

“He has everything it could take to make it as a stallion – the movie star looks, a pedigree of the highest order and a Gr1 success. Captain Al went to stud as a 4yo and look what he has achieved. It hardly makes sense for us to go to KZN for the SA Champions Season. The SA Guineas is a Gr2 and the Daily News is run over 2000m – we don’t know he will go that far. Then there is the Rising Sun Gold Challenge – but all those

JET MASTER STAKES (Listed)

J

A dramatic objection was the bitter icing on the cake of a scrappy R150 000 Listed Jet Master Stakes at Kenilworth on Saturday.

ust how seven jockeys managed to stir up so many incidents over 400m is puzzling – but at least the Stipes got this one right, in our book. Justin Snaith was celebrating a double in the mile support feature, but after Heartland’s gutsy win in 2015, the team had to sweat for ten minutes after they had crossed the line, as jockey Grant van Niekerk on Horizon lodged an objection against Anthony Andrews on Snaith’s Fifty Cents. Winter Prince had led Captain’s Flame into the turn for home, with Horzion nearer last as the field drifted to the centre outside.

While Van Niekerk had switched out sharply – in the process almost colliding with a tiring Baritone – and gone for a rails run at the 300m – Anthony Andrews had produced Fifty Cents with a sustained effort down the centre.

At the 250m, Fifty Cents lugged out, heading for the outside rail.

Van Niekerk was a few lengths

behind him and finding his path blocked, switched in sharply – almost taking Captain’s Flame out on his inside.

With some ground to make up, the luckless Horizon finished full of running but could not catch Fifty Cents, who was a half length ahead.

The winner’s time was 98,54 secs.

The likely deciding factor for the Stipes in reaching a decision to overrule Van Niekerk was that the Bass-Robinson jockey had never stopped riding and had made a conscious decision to switch in at a critical moment.

Brett Crawford’s smart filly Chevauchee held on nicely for third, a further 1,25 lengths back.

Fifty Cents is a 4yo gelded son of Trippi out of the Rambo Dancer mare, Prestine Performer.

A R900 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 graduate, he has won 4 races with 8 places from 12 starts for stakes of R289 750.

Horizon’s performance as a 3yo was full of merit and he should not be long in atoning.

Tara’s Readytogorightnow!

MEMORIAL MILE (Listed) at Fairview last Friday

S races are run at Greyville and are draw sensitive,” said Brugman.

He confirmed that a final decision would be made after Met day.

When taxed on the Guineas performance of another of the Mayfair runners in favourite Table Bay, who could only manage third, Brugman said - “I’m disappointed.”

Victorious trainer Vaughan Marshall, who celebrated his fourth Cape Guineas success and also trained the outstanding Captain Al, said that all of his wins had been memorable but noted that while Captain Al and William Longsword were two ‘very different horses’, they were possessed of a similar nature.

He has enjoyed plenty of success with the progeny of Captain Al, having also trained champions All Is Secret and Always In Charge, as well

as last season’s Gr1 Allan Robertson Fillies Championship winner The Secret Is Out. Marshall did a terrific job with Captain Al and when asked about the possibility of losing William Longsword to stud so early, he was philosophical.

“Look, it’s a team effort and having him go to stud is an honour, frankly. The ultimate endorsement of a trainer’s contribution is producing a horse who can go on and make it as a stallion.”

Captain Al’s 14th Gr1 winner, William Longsword is the latest in a long line of top class performers bred on the Captain Al-Fort Wood cross, a mating which has also resulted in fellow Gr1 winner Captain America, as well as high class graded winners such as Captain’s Flame, Fragrant Al and Wheredowego.

Tara Laing found her best form at Fairview on Friday saddling a hattrick of winners that included an impressive end to end win by the Australian-bred Readytogorightnow in the R150 000 Listed Memorial Mile.

enior rider Wayne Agrella rode a finely judged race over the turf mile on the multiple stakes winning former Snaith galloper, who was easy to back at 20-1. It was Agrella’s first winner in over a month Hindsight is an exact science – more so in racing, but the shrewdies may have considered including Readytogorightnow, who had tumbled from his career peak MR of 108, down to a more modest 94.

The former Gr3 Winter Guineas and Winter Classic winner was previously conditioned by Justin Snaith, but was having his sixth start for Tara Laing at Fairview when he struck gold on Friday.

He is one of very few Laing runners who don’t race in the Mayfair Speculators silks. For those that found him to beat the top-class Snaith duo of Jet Explorer and True Master, it was a race of fluctuating emotions.

The astute Agrella had him controlling matters out front ahead of Alghadeer and Kiss Me Hardy.

Appearing to come under

pressure at the 350m marker, Readytogorightnow was cleverly given a breather by Agrella as Kiss Me Hardy went past him for glory.

But the Laing runner was bluffing and he drew off again to hold the late challenge of True Master by 2 lengths in a time of 96,77 secs.

The favourite Jet Explorer ran a typically honest race to run into third, ahead of Kiss Me Hardy, who may not quite have stayed the mile.

Bred by G J Moffitt in Australia, Readytogorightnow is a son of champion Southern Halo stallion More Than Ready and is out of an unraced Hurricane Sky mare, Storm Fronts(AUS). She hails from the same family of the brilliant Plattner sprinter, Joie de Grise.

A A$91 129 Inglis graduate, Readytogorightnow was purchased as a yearling by James Bester Bloodstock. He has won 7 races with 11 places from 30 starts and took his stakes earned to R685 670.

Ms Laing’s other winners were the surprise package Cecil John in the fifth and former Charles Lairdtrained Omega Onslaught, who won easily at his opening East Cape start after relocating from KZN.

Love vs Economics Are We Out Of Time?

T

Racing is busy losing its all-time most important race - the tussle against time to keep the sport from fading into obscurity, writes Leon Smuts. his is a race that can and must be won given the significance of racing as an economic provider for so many, and the potential as a growing and extended source of employment in years to come.

Options

People often ask why I am involved in trying to find solutions for racing, when then are so many other more lucrative forms of wagering that I could be spending time on.

This is a valid question if my reason for getting involved was purely economic and if my love for the sport, its people and creatures could be discarded. Seeing horses run and the fantastic emotion it creates in everyone involved is something that begs to be preserved for future generations. It is simply a thing of astounding beauty with great presence and natural poise and the most epic drama imaginable playing out in front of us daily.

Such a pity that the dilemma in racing has come down to a balancing act of having to match a love for horses with economic expectations and the difficulty that this has presented, especially over the last 20 to 30 years.

There is an on-going tug of war between the purists in the sport and those exclusively seeking profit from its existence, and with the expectation gap becoming too big, is causing a widening rift between the different stakeholders. The growing discontent is there for all to see with a few recent initiatives to try and grasp control back from the empire.

If ever there was a need to work together to find solutions that will satisfy both sides, it is right now.

Puzzling

Unity is strength and together, with a dedicated effort, it would be possible to satisfy the needs of the majority involved in racing.

Why is this so hard for the powers that be to recognise and support?

Whilst betting operators have to factor in the bottom line in all decisions that they make it does not unburden them from campaigning for the best results for all, which must include searching for and finding lasting solutions for racing.

What could their results look like if they successfully championed a racing revival?

There is simply no excuse for turning a blind

eye to racing’s needs whilst longer term solutions are available.

Why do I still believe in racing’s ability to be profitable given its many detractors and clear and continued evidence of sub-economic performance?

Three things stand out and should not be ignored by betting operators: • From a content perspective racing has no peers with quality material available almost 24/7 year round • Races has a far more differentiated outcome potential than most other sport which from a wagering perspective presents a high quality dividend and betting opportunity • As a game of skill racing produces long term annuity income that is second to none and the average age of punters attest to this as skilled players seldom leave the game The above points suggest an exceptional business opportunity, that if correctly approached will provide meaningful bottom line performance and growing economic returns. The only thing that has stood and is standing between racing and making loads of money is a chronic, self-inflicted inability to market the sport effectively to new players.

Without new customers no business can thrive Until operators make a clear distinction between turnover growth and customer growth in its objectives the sport will always come up short of its still considerable potential.

No Grasp

From a marketing per-spective operators show a frustrating lack of understanding and/ or desire in terms of promoting racing as a medium for economic gains.

Every marketing initiative focuses almost exclusively on getting people to the race track and despite great success in doing this on big race days the conversion rate of the crowd into customers remains at almost zero.

This is to be expected, as despite our love for the game, racing will never be a true spectator sport comparable with other mainstream sport like football, cricket, tennis or rugby.

A minute to two minutes of action in between long periods of inactivity puts paid

to any notion of successfully promoting racing as a vibrant crowd puller.

This reality should be accepted and be the catalyst for a redefined marketing effort focussing on promoting racing as an activity ahead of the unsuccessful efforts to market it as an attraction.

Marketing the big race days should be continued as large crowds are a good advertisement, but getting people to play must take centre stage in any promotional exercise.

Once people participate by playing or owning a horse, races provide considerable spectator value. So what then is needed to market racing successfully?

Most importantly, a more creative set of products that have been specifically designed to provide both players and operators with advantages which are clear and tangible.

It is a fallacy to believe that what is good for the one will naturally be bad for the other as it is plausible to design and offer products packed with mutual benefits.

What would players and specifically inexperienced novices want to see?

• More entertaining involvement • Greater affordability and value for money • Games producing more

Top Trainer – ‘Look Cape After The Punters’ Premier Yearling Sale

J

Snaith Racing is to make more use of Facebook to keep punters informed about the stable’s runners after posting a full rundown for last Saturday’s Cape Guineas meeting, writes Michael Clower.

ustin Snaith said: “I had 24 runners that day and, when not a single press person rang me for a comment, I felt we should do something ourselves. From now on whenever we feel that we have something to add for the punter we will put our tips and comments on Facebook.”

To be fair, the Sporting Post’s Robyn Louw rang Jonathan Snaith about the Guineas runners.

He mentioned the controversy over

trainers being asked for comments on first-timers with some refusing to comply.

He said: “There should be a system, as there is in certain other countries, whereby when you declare you pick from some 30 alternative comments and highlight the one that is most applicable.

That then appears in the racecard. It doesn’t matter whether the horse proves you right or wrong – you can’t have punters kept in the dark. Without them there would be no racing.” www.goldcircle.co.za

The catalogue for the 2017 Cape Premier Yearling Sale which is to be held on 21 and 22 January at the CTICC is available in hard-copy and can now be viewed online at www.capethoroughbredsales.com.

Besides the 4 Frankel lots off offer, all the major local stars are there and also plenty to fuel buyer interest with premier international stallions of the ilk of Bernardini, Elusive Quality, Rock of Gibraltar, Scat Daddy and Pierro represented. There are also the offspring of 12 Gr1 winning mares going through the ring.

winners • More opportunities per game to win • Opportunities to win big on occasion • Games that are ultimately fair to players • To be competitive • Vibrant social interaction • Easier access and modern technology • Data and useful information • Educational self-help programs • Value add services • What do operators want from new games?

• Strong customer growth • Large and active customer base • Rapid pool growth • Greater pool liquidity • Churn supportive formats • Games that promote regular and longer term involvement • High yield opportunities • Lower cost structure Closely matching these wants and needs in new formats, will provide a highly marketable product, and would make it a fairly simple exercise to build a new customer base for the benefit of both racing and the operator’s bottom line.

Without new customers no business can thrive and no business model that ignores this very important function could ever be optimal.

Vital Component

There is an interesting correlation between skill and the level of wagering per player. As skill develops there are exponential gains for the operator in terms of the contribution received per player.

This is because skilled players are likely to play regularly and place more meaningful wagers as their confidence grows and with more frequent wins obtained.

This suggests that even though capacity building will take time, the end result holds a lot of promise and will make it a very worthy and profitable exercise.

Overcoming the learning curve hurdle is the single biggest challenge that any new product must address to make customer acquisition a realistic pursuit. Operators should accept that new

customers will not make an immediate impact to their bottom line but that as skill develops they will gain exponentially and ultimately have access to years of annuity income.

This is why capacity building must be treated as a perpetual exercise and should not be neglected in growth strategies. Racing has already lost two or three generations of players because of complacency but there is still time to rectify this if acting now.

Operators show a frustrating lack of understanding As far a product design is concerned nothing is more important than players and the playing experience as the bottom line will gain naturally if this is taken care of. Well-designed game formats will include inflation hedge components to ensure that individual games remain profitable long after customer growth has started slowing down.

Stop The Tokens

I am appalled at the lack of marketing support that racing receives from operators as it has so much to offer them with a dedicated approach.

It must surely be time to do away with token programs that re-enforces the belief in racings failings and rather invest these funds in programs researched and designed to succeed.

Impressive results could be obtained within a two to five year period and will lay an effective foundation for long term gains in both customers and revenue.

Hong Kong is always touted as the racing model to aspire to but it is a difficult one to replicate elsewhere.

This should not stop other jurisdictions from finding their own racing solutions as it would greatly enhance any operator’s reputation, standing and bottom line if they supported and succeeded at this vital function.

At the moment there are very few creative and committed participants sporting racing’s colours, but those willing to run this very important race to the finish will come out most impressive and enviable winners.

Donovan Dillon

New Generation, Old Fashioned Values Racing and race riding has changed and if one doesn’t roll with the times, you are thrown out with yesterday’s news.

However, as young rider Donovan Dillon proves, there is still a place for some old fashioned values.

Donovan has a professionalism and dedication that belie his fresh-faced 23 years and seems to be a jockey cut from the cloth of days gone by – diligent about morning work, always cheerful, prompt into the parade ring and always ready with a handshake and a friendly comment. After moving to Cape Town a little over a year ago for the Mike Robinson string, it didn’t take long for him to get noticed – first by the Snaiths and then

by Goodhope Racing’s Joey Ramsden, where Donovan is currently first choice rider – as well as the other half of the Ramsden Stable Comments comedy duo!

About Donovan Donovan was born in Johannesburg on 14 November 1993. He lost his father in 2001 and counts that as a pivotal event in his life. “Things were quite tough growing up - we moved around a lot and I went to a couple of different schools.

I was always quite small and a lot of people said to my mom, I should try the Jockey Academy and it worked, haven’t looked back.”

Donovan is not from a racing background and the first time he sat on a horse was at the Academy. He joined the Academy in 2009 alongside the likes of Jarryd Penny, Lerato Mohapi, Bryan Claassen, Franklin Maleking and Mandla Ntuli and riding masters were Stephen Jupp, Lawrence O’Donoghue and Rhys van Wyk. Donovan says, “I played all sorts of sport at school – cross country, swimming, rugby, cycling, soccer – I was fit as anything and when I got to the Academy I think it made it easier for me that I was fit and healthy and had the strength I needed.

When things started going well for me, I thought this is what I’ve got to do and I’m so glad it’s turned out so well. If I hadn’t gone to the Academy things might not have gone as well. It got me away from everything.

After losing my father at a young age, I lost myself a little bit. I wasn’t really interested in schoolwork and would rather do sport than academics. I didn’t know what I wanted in life and was confused, I suppose. Going to the Academy helped me find focus and having battled through school, it made me want to work for something in life. It’s amazing what a little difference can make.”

Donovan ended up making Head Boy. “Rhys van Wyk always

saw a spark and drive and helped me more than anything, but all the teachers and even the people in the office - everybody at the Academy played a big role in making me who I am. It was a great experience for me.”

Going to the start with all the people cheering give you extra confidence – if you put your mind to it, you can imagine they’re cheering you on He was selected to represent SA in the 2013 Asian Young Guns challenge, doing us proud by becoming the first apprentice to bring home a winner for SA as well as winning the overall competition on points and a different leg of the competition saw him getting the chance to ride at Newbury in the UK where he finished 4th.

Early Career Donovan’s first ride under rules came on 24 April 2011, riding Captain Lovemore for Dennis Bosch at Clairwood Park and his first win came at his 4th attempt on 15 May 2011 courtesy of Baranova for the Michael Roberts string. Donovan based himself in KZN, becoming first choice rider for the Doug Campbell string, but made sure he kept himself busy in the mornings and was soon being offered opportunities across the board, including the likes of Charles Laird who gave him his first feature race winner aboard Rio Carnival in the Gr3 Kings Cup as well as an opportunity to ride Ice Machine in the 2015 Vodacom Durban July, finishing just over 4 lengths back from Power King. “I battled to sleep the

night before – the nerves were going! But what an experience it was. Going to the start with all the people cheering gives you extra confidence – if you put your mind to it, you can imagine they’re cheering you on. Then coming to the finish and hearing all those people shouting – it throws you a little, but it’s good experience.”

“Anton Marcus has always been a big help in my career and got me going when I was an apprentice. He got me the job with Yogas Govender in my 3rd year and I’ve never looked back. It’s hard when you lose your claim as it really does help.

I lost my claim quite quickly, but luckily I also got a lot of experience quickly as I had to adapt. With a claim you’ve got that advantage on others, you can go a little sooner and hold on to win the race. But when you lose your claim, you’ve got to wait and see h o w much

you’ve got left. It’s all about feel and judgement of what you’ve got underneath you and one of my strengths was that I always knew how much I had underneath me.”

train a lot to make up for it.

You can’t do one and not the other and there has to be a balance, but it’s going well at the moment.”

Work Ethic

Move to Cape Town

Donovan is known for being particularly polite and hardworking and says, “Coming from a family that hasn’t always had it that easy made me want to work harder. I want to be like Anton. His work ethic is phenomenal – and he’s hardworking and dedicated. Another rider I really look up to is Bernard Fayd’herbe. I am heavier and quite tall like Bernard, but he has a great work ethic and dedication to the game and I really look up to him for that.”

In August 2015, Donovan got a job offer from Mike Robinson to relocate to the Cape. “I always thought Durban’s a tough place.

You’ve got Anton, Anthony, Sean Cormack was still riding at the time – all the top guys – and then everyone else was on a par. I wanted to try and better myself and further my career, so I thought let me take the risk and everything fell into place.”

Asked for the highlights so far, Donovan says just moving to the Cape is a highlight in itself.

Weight

“I love it. It was so social and

Donovan rides at 55,5kgs comfortably, but can get down to 54,5kgs if the occasion requires. “If it’s a good ride, then I’ll obviously do that weight, but I can’t go lower than that unfortunately.” In terms of managing his weight, he runs a lot, but does have to waste.

“It’s not the easiest thing in the world, he admits, “And when you haven’t got the weight to lose, that makes it harder. You’ve got to watch what you eat and I don’t starve, but I do

It’s amazing what a little difference can make welcoming and made me feel like this is the place I wanted to be from the get go and it’s been like that ever since. I can’t see myself living in Joburg or Durban again. Getting first choice for Joey is the other highlight as it’s something I’ve worked all my apprenticeship and time for.

Obviously I’ve had first choice for Doug Campbell before, but Joey is a bit different. The yard is so much bigger and he’s won it all.” Having been with the yard for a while now, Donovan has seen the progression of the 2yo’s from the juvenile ranks into the new 3yo season.

“Table Bay and Just Sensual were among the horses that I’ve brought right through.

It’s unfortunate that one gets taken off in the big ones, but Anton is first choice for Markus Jooste and that’s his job and the way it goes, but it’s nice – even sitting on the sidelines – to see those horses doing well and makes you feel good to be part of the team. Table Bay was my outright pick and it’s nice to see he’s done so well. Miranda Frost is another who did so well as a baby. She’s lost her way a little, but we’ll get her right. It’s good to work with them from 2yo’s into 3 and 4yo’s and see how they progress. It’s what you get up for in the morning.”

The yard is enjoying success and one of the latest fun initiatives is the weekly Runners Report videos that Joey and Donovan post ahead of the weekend’s race meetings.

“Stephanie decided that we should help promote the stable and it would be good feedback for owners and it’s a lot of fun. A lot of people follow

Joey on Twitter and Facebook, so it’s nice for me to get my face out there too.”

Donovan still finds time to ride for other stables when the opportunity arises, recently notching the Gr2 Southern Cross Stakes for Justin Snaith aboard Jo’s Bond.

Behind every man Behind every man is a strong woman, but Donovan has four!

“My mom and I have a very close relationship. My mom watches racing all the time and has tried to catch onto all the horsey terms. I have an older sister who is currently in Joburg studying law. She is supportive, but is always studying and never really has time to watch much racing and then my biggest supporter is my Gran.” Donovan also has a longterm partner, Tayla Mackinnon and says, “She helps me and gives me confidence. She’s the rock behind me and keeps me determined and focussed on what I want to do in life. She is so supportive and constantly has my back, no matter what.”

Future plans “I’m mainly focussed on the Cape season for now and am not travelling. Being a bit of a heavy jockey, it takes a lot out of you having to sweat 3 or 4 or 5 times a week. Obviously for the Durban season I will be travelling again. I’ve still got relationships with owners and trainers in Durban from my time there and I always seem to get a few rides there. Obviously Joey goes up for the season and I’ll ride for him, but it’s nice to get around a little – people notice those things.”

Looking longer term, Donovan has international aspirations. “Riding abroad is a stage that must come in every jockey’s career. It makes you a better rider and I’d like that experience and to get over there and learn what I can. I’ll want to look at sending my resume out in about year and half to two years’ time, but I’ll have to sit down and think where I want to send it to. Being a heavy jock is not that easy, but I’d love to try out Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong – it all depends on where would be best for my weight and make the most success for myself, but if I get an opportunity to ride abroad, I’ll need to try something different because the lighter you are, the more chances you get and the more opportunities can come your way.”

However, he wants to make his name here first and has his eye on the Cape Championship.

“It’s not easy riding against the local guys who all have top stables behind them, but having a top stable behind me gives me the confidence that I can do it. Obviously it’s going to take a lot of hard work and things will need to go my way, but I’m determined.”

Global Sire Spend T

H

E

T

O

The list of the top ten most expensive sires in the world for 2017 offers a fascinating insight into the international nature of the sport.

The top four spots are held by Galileo, Dubawi, Tapit and Deep Impact, stallions based in Ireland, Newmarket, Kentucky and Japan.

In Europe, the younger generation is spearheaded by Frankel, arguably the greatest European runner of the modern era.

1. Galileo

1998 Sadler’s Wells - Urban Sea (Miswaki) Stands: Coolmore, Ireland Fee: private Galileo’s official fee remains unknown to the public, as it has done since 2008. However, off the record reports lead us to assume he is the world’s most expensive stallion, a mantle he has seemingly held for several years.

He is the dominant stallion of our time, one who has altered the benchmarks of excellence over a reasonably short period of time.

In 2016, the son of Sadler’s Wells secured his eighth British and Irish sires’ championship with prize-money of approximately £10.5 million.

In Europe, his total stood at a colossal £16.24 million.

There was the brilliant filly Minding alongside other Ballydoyle three-year-olds such as Alice Springs, Seventh Heaven and The Gurkha, Gr1-winning two-year-olds Churchill, Rhododendron and Waldgeist and the older horses Found, Highland Reel and Order Of St George, who provided Galileo with an unprecedented 1-2-3 in the Arc. He sired a personal best of 13 individual Gr1 winners in the Northern Hemisphere during 2016, and, when Churchill took the National Stakes in September, it provided him with 60 individual Gr1 winners, a landmark achieved in a quicker time than it took Sadler’s Wells.

Breeders unable to get into Galileo now have the choice of a number of sons, including two proven Gr1 sires at Darley in New Approach and Teofilo. The best, however, could turn out to be Frankel.

2. Dubawi

2002 Dubai Millennium - Zomaradah (Deploy) Stands: Dalham Hall Stud, Newmarket, UK Fee: £250,000 Dubawi’s fee rose for the fourth consecutive year in response to another strong year on the track and phenomenal demand for his progeny in the sale ring.

Darley’s flagship stallion is the sire of 26 G1 winners to date, many of whom were produced when he stood for £25,000 or less.

It was away from the track, however, that Dubawi really stole the headlines.

He returned an average of 972,667gns at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Sale and provided the €1.4 million topper at the Goffs Orby Sale.

3. Tapit

2001 Pulpit - Tap Your Heels (Unbridled) Stands: Gainesway Farm, Kentucky, USA Fee: $300,000 (£238,663) The Gainesway stallion broke his own North American single-season earnings record for the third consecutive year in 2016 thanks to the winners of close to $19 million, a figure that surpassed his previous record of $18,397,691 set in 2015. In turn, that smashed his 2014 record of $16,813,536.

It is hard to pinpoint a defining moment in Tapit’s year.

To some onlookers, it would be Frosted’s breathtaking 14 1/4 length win in the G1 Metropolitan Handi-cap.

To others, it might be the moment when Creator became his second Belmont Stakes winner in three years. His dominance could also be summed up by the finish to the Gr1 Spinaway Stakes at Saratoga, in which he supplied the dead-heaters Pretty City and Sweet Loretta.

4. Deep Impact

2002 Sunday Silence - Wind In Her Hair (Alzao) Stands: Shadai Stallion Stakes, Japan Fee: 30,000,000yen (£206,972) Deep Impact remains the dominant stallion in Japan, as his sire Sunday Silence was before him.

But his international stature is deservedly growing year on year as more breeders outside Japan take note of his phenomenal record, which is headlined by five consecutive Japanese sires’ championships. There were nine individual G1 winners worldwide in 2016 to bring his overall tally to 27.

With a growing number of European-based representatives and the unwavering loyalty of Japan’s leading breeders, Deep Impact’s influence will almost certainly strengthen further in 2017.

7. Frankel

8jt = Medaglia D’oro

2008 Galileo - Kind (Danehill) Stands: Banstead Manor Stud, Newmarket, UK Fee: £125,000

1999 El Prado - Capuccino Bay (Bailjumper) Stands: Darley, Kentucky, USA Fee: $150,000 (£119,331)

Declared by his trainer Sir Henry Cecil as the best he’d ever seen, Frankel racked up an unbeaten sequence of 14 victories, including 10 at the top level.

In all, he defeated 25 individual Group 1 winners and was awarded a rating of 147 by Timeform, the highest figure ever recorded in that organisation’s history.

As such, the scrutiny on Frankel’s first crop has been intense. He covered an outstanding book of mares at £125,000 in his first season and, although it is still early days, the son of Galileo is well on the way justifying those high hopes with a first crop that includes six stakes winners.

A first G1 winner arrived in December courtesy of Soul Stirring in the Hanshin Fillies’ Stakes in Japan, while in Europe, the battalion is headed by the G2 Lowther Stakes winner Queen Kindly and G3 Princess Margaret Stakes winner Fair Eva.

Medaglia d’Oro commands $150,000 for the second year running following another high-flying season on the track. His daughter Songbird established herself as one of the great fillies of the modern era, and few stallions are capable siring a runner of her calibre. For Medaglia d’Oro, however, she follows another brilliant representative in Rachel Alexandra and heads an overall list of Gr1 winners that also includes top Australian 2yo Vancouver and this year’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf heroine New Money Honey.

8jt = Curlin

2004 Smart Strike - Sherriff’s Deputy (Deputy Minister) Stands: Hill ’n’ Dale Farm, Kentucky, USA Fee: $150,000 (£119,331) A two-time Horse of the Year, seven-time Gr1 winner and the highest North American money earner of all time with $10,501,800 banked over two seasons, Curlin was already a celebrity when he retired to Lane’s End Farm in Kentucky in 2009.

Curlin stood his first season for $75,000. Yet, by 2013, that figure had dropped to $25,000.

His fee hit $100,000 for the first time in 2016, his first season at Hill ’n’ Dale, and as the second leading North American sire this year, will undoubtedly be popular again despite the recent increase.

8jt = Uncle Mo

2008 Indian Charlie - Playa Maya (Arch) Stands: Ashford Stud, Kentucky, USA Fee: $150,000 (£119,331) The start that Uncle Mo has made at stud puts him among the elite stallions, certainly in North America. The champion American juvenile of 2010, he has wasted very little time in establishing himself as the dominant stallion of his generation.

His first two-year-olds earned $3,675,294 in 2015, a record figure for a North American first-crop sire that eclipsed the previous benchmark of $2.8 million set by Tapit in 2009. The group was led by Breeders’ Cup Juvenile hero Nyquist, who went on to land the Kentucky Derby, and Gr1 Alcibiades Stakes winner Gomo, and would come to include Gr1 Wood Memorial winner Outwork alongside 19 other stakes winners.

Uncle Mo ends the year as North America’s third leading sire of 2016, quite a remarkable feat considering he has only two crops running for him. As result his fee has doubled for 2017.Originally published on www.

5. War Front

2002 Danzig - Starry Dreamer (Rubiano) Stands: Claiborne Farm, Kentucky, USA Fee: $250,000 (£198,886) The ongoing support of Coolmore alongside a number of leading American and European breeders has helped ensure that War Front remains one of the most sought-after stallions worldwide.

His 2014 crop were bred the year that Claiborne raised War Front’s fee to $80,000.

As has become the recent norm, Ballydoyle housed a classy number of those juveniles, namely Brave Anna and Roly Poly, who ran one-two in the Gr1 Cheveley Park Stakes, Gr2 Vintage Stakes winner War Decree and Gr3 Round Tower Stakes winner Intelligence Cross.

6. American Pharoah

2012 Pioneerof The Nile - Littlemissprincessemma (Yankee Gentleman) Stands: Ashford Stud, Kentucky, USA Fee: private Few American runners have captured the imagination of the racing public as American Pharoah, America’s 2015 Horse of the Year.

Zayat Stables’ charismatic homebred ended the 37-year drought for a Triple Crown winner and in turn became a celebrity outside racing, in one instance appearing on the front cover of Vogue.

American Pharoah’s fee for 2017 is private but we can assume that it floats somewhere near the level of $200,000 that was set upon his retirement in 2016.

He covered 208 mares during his first season at Coolmore’s American arm, Ashford Stud.

California Chrome…

Forever King Of California!

California Chrome’s racing career in his home state ended in the spectacular fashion everyone expected.

He won Saturday’s $180,000 Winter Challenge by 12 lengths at Los Alamitos and did it without really trying.

If that’s not enough, the son of Lucky Pulpit set a track record in front of the 5000 crowd for the 1700m by more than three-quarters of a second with a time of 1:40.03.

The previous record was set by Uncle Lino in, coincidentally, the California Chrome Stakes. The Winter Challenge was supposed to be a procession - a proper sendoff for the King of California.

And that’s exactly what it was. It may also have settled the Horse Of The Year tussle with Arrogate!

Chrome is stabled at Los Alamitos, yet he had never run a race there. Still he is a rock star at the Orange County track, and pretty much everywhere else. He routinely attracts crowds at Los Alamitos on Saturday mornings when he works out at 5:30 a.m.

His final target is the Pegasus World Cup,

a $12-million race on 28 January at Gulfstream Park in Florida. After that race, Chrome will retire from racing. The Pegasus will be a rematch with Arrogate, who handed Chrome his only loss this year in the Breeders’ Cup Classic.

From there he’ll begin his breeding career in Kentucky.

It’s The Guineas Jim, but not as we know it ( N o t

a s

w e

k n o w

i t ,

J i m )

The Cape Guineas is one of the best and most revered Classics on our racing calendar.

Since its inception, it has produced a long line of champions and with successful graduates (and even also-rans) often going on to stud book immortality, winners are spoken about with hushed awe. In short, it is more than just an excuse to go racing.

I

was lucky enough to experience (survive?!) the Guineas during the heyday of the Richelieu and Topsport sponsorships when it was run at Milnerton, around the near bend and often into the stamina sapping fangs of a black South Easter. Perhaps the view through my rose tinted spectacles gets fuzzier as the years go by, but the Cape Turf Club made sure that when you went to the course for the Cape Guineas, you damn well knew you were there for an event and it ALWAYS lived up to its billing. There is no other race quite like it and us Capetonians are (I think) rightfully toffee-nosed about it.

Why the Guineas was great Back then you couldn’t get a run in the Guineas unless you were a 3-time winner – in other words, at the age of 3 and a half which was no small feat – but it all but guaranteed the fields of yesteryear were clashes of the highest order.

Not just good horses, but greats. Future titans of the turf.

It was Milnerton’s flagship race and every year the Club went all out to ensure a dazzling field. With visiting trainers coming down early to qualify runners, field sizes in Guineas trials swelled. There was intense media interest and discussion, with speculation whether horses that had won over sprint distances would stay a mile.

Having a horse good enough to run in the Guineas is one of the greatest achievements in our sport By the time race day arrived, anticipation was at fever pitch. If you didn’t have a runner, it was not for lack of trying and on course there was standing room only to see the chosen few. One of the standouts was 1992, when Willie Pieters swept into town with Unaware, who came with a formidable reputation in more ways than one. The

exquisite chestnut son of Northern Guest already had a staggering 4 wins under his belt and arrived in the Cape a hotly anticipated Guineas contender. Willie wanted to give him a few prep runs down here, but plans went awry when Unaware misbehaved at the start and chief stipe Mike Tillett withdrew his starting stall certificate. In those days, the field had to load in 2 minutes to accommodate betting elsewhere in the country. Any horse who violated the 2 minute rule was penalised heavily. It wasn’t a simple matter of reschooling and getting a new pass – horses had to serve a set suspension and Unaware looked set to miss the Guineas.

It was pandemonium with the connections and the club alike pleading with the Stipes to make an exception.

Such was the pressure that a compromise was reached and special provision made for Unaware to prove his eligibility. Everyone pitched in to help him get ready and when the day came, he loaded and jumped on terms. As things turned out, he finished 3rd behind Empress Club and The Decorator and the photo finish hung in the Kenilworth boardroom for years.

Having a horse good enough to run in the Guineas is one of the greatest achievements in our sport and as such, it’s always an ‘occasion’ race day for me, because these are the horses of the future. With no disrespect to our wonderful WFA contests such as the Queen’s Plate, by the time a horse gets to that point, they have been measured and you know who and what they are. The Guineas field are horses with a date with destiny.

Buying a lifestyle This year’s Guineas day promised much. We had a Listed race, two Gr3’s, a Gr2 and the Gr1. There were horses from all over the country, In fact, the card was so good that the likes of BelaBela came out in a conditions plate, if you please!

With the Snaiths packing some serious artillery – and en masse – I invited myself down to Muizenberg beach to see their string stretch their legs in the ocean on Wednesday morning. As

it had been an early start and we needed coffee, Jono recommended Knead in Muizenberg. Sipping coffee at a coffee shop mid-week when ‘normal’ people are at work is a little stolen pleasure and it didn’t take much convincing.

Muizenberg has been substantially jazzed up since the last time I visited and was buzzing with activity. We secured a table overlooking the sea and savoured our cappuccinos. Watching the sun dancing on the waves, for the first time I had an inkling into the ‘lifestyle’ element of owning race horses (or at least the positive element!).

This was definitely the life and set the mood nicely for a big day on Saturday.

The Guineas Day Experience In case I haven’t said it before, I do love the new signboards outside Durbanville and Kenilworth (and I am eternally grateful to whoever finally filled in the potholes on the Wetton Road entrance – thank you, thank you, thank you). The car park seemed pleasantly full, but we managed to secure a spot and after assembling all the necessary kit, made for the track. I’ve mentioned the lack of signage from the car park to the course before, but on Saturday someone had nailed lopsided ‘entrance’ and ‘exit’ signs to either sides of a Bluegum tree, so thank you for that.

At first glance there was a bit of activity – umbrellas were placed along the grass and a market set up under the blue gums. At the Pick n Pay end of the grandstand a kiddies’ entertainment area had been set up with a merry go round and assorted things to occupy the young. But that’s rather where it stopped.

According to Hassen Adams, Grand Parade were begged to continue their sponsorship for this year, but somehow despite the Grand Parade flash boards around the parade ring, it didn’t feel very cohesive – at least, not down on the ground, but perhaps it was different up in ‘the gods’. There had been little pre-Guineas hype either via the general press or even on Tellytrack, there was no dress code or theme, no parade ring

centrepiece, no Neil Andrews to jolly us along through the afternoon and all in all I was rather underwhelmed.

Coverage I was alarmed when Justin Snaith mentioned that the yard had not been interviewed in the run up to the weekend’s meeting. I was so shocked I went and double checked and he reconfirmed that I’d been the only one to contact them last week. I canvassed a few other yards and they concurred. A punter watching from home reported that he wasn’t aware it was Guineas day until the field cantered down to the start. What the…. ?

All in all I was rather underwhelmed Following the horses means I get around the track a fair bit during the day and save for Anton walking up and down, I did not see a single exec pounding the beat, checking on anyone or anything, although they were all there in force upstairs.

Even the parade ring was largely empty. If we aren’t caretaking our flagship days, who will? One of racing’s saving graces is our history and provenance. If we do not care-take that, we’re in danger of losing sight of the very thing that gives us meaning.

If this is how we treat one of our most important race days, it rather makes one fearful for the direction we are going.

Trying to be positive However, tis the season and all that, so on the up side, the Classic days do still bring out some of my favourite people and it’s a last chance to chat to breeders and wish everyone well for the festive season in the brief hiatus between breeding season and Yearling Sale madness.

Being Christmas, it’s also a good time to see out of town visitors such as Tony Millard home for the holidays.

There was an attempt at something different with Fee and her roving mic mounted on a horse to conduct post race jockey interviews ‘on the hoof ’. While a good idea in theory, the execution was a little hit and miss.

Perhaps this will improve with practice (but does beg the question why we are ‘practicing’ on the big days when we should already have it right?) Oh dear, I promised to be positive. The gorgeous grey was a hit with spectators and the kids stretched over the rail to give him a pet and a stroke which was nice to see.

Thank goodness for the racing Luckily the horses produced the goods and it was a rollercoaster from top to bottom.

What a treat to see Bela-Bela back to best and catch another glimpse of the fabulous Silver Mountain. We had big racehorses, riders and trainers aplenty and how divine to have all of you condensed in one place for the afternoon.

The running of the Jet Master Stakes nearly caused several heart attacks before the horses crossed the line, but well done to Anthony Andrews for a gutsy and well-deserved win, particularly after his nasty spill a few weeks ago. The Premier Trophy was another fabulous line-up and saw a very near miss for my beach buddy, Krambambuli, going down a short head to the gorgeous Icy Trail. I bumped into Lammerskraal’s Sally Jourdan at the podium who related that despite being out of an Equus Champion, they’d found Icy Trail a hard sell as he was by the underrated Go Deputy.

Fortunately Brian Finch knows a good horse when he sees one and happily snapped him up and was deservedly all smiles on Saturday afternoon.

Sally smiled as broadly when Go Deputy scored another feature win in the Cape Summer Stayers, to an emphatic victory salute from Corne Orffer. It is a shame that a sire with a strike rate like that receives such little support, but such are the imponderables of fashion.

It was lovely to see some of our smaller yards punch above their weight with wins for Mike Robinson in the Victress Stakes, another Group win for the up and coming Adam Marcus and I was particularly pleased for the Burger-Van Reenen partnership who produced our Guineas 4th from their very small base in Philippi.

Guineas greats I don’t have sufficient superlatives to describe the Guineas field. For those who did not make it to Kenilworth on Saturday, shame on you.

It was an incredible field and each and every runner looked glorious. With the result already in the record books, I have to compliment Vaughan Marshall in particular – his horses ALWAYS look a picture on parade, but it gave one rather a lump in the throat to see William Longsword so beautifully turned out and looking the spit of his sire thundering down the straight.

It’s a super feel-good story for Vaughan to have trained the father and now the son so huge congratulations to Vaughan, the team and all the connections and to MJ in particular who puts in so much work behind the scenes.

All this fabulous racing made it even harder to reconcile the lack of peripheral fuss. As one trainer shrugged sadly, “It’s just not the Guineas.” Perhaps it’s the time of year, perhaps it’s a sign of the times. But perhaps it’s a timeous reminder to look after our big races a little better.

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

with Steve Furnish

Promising Debut

Sailing To Victory

Scottsville 11th December A maiden juvenile plate over 800m got proceedings underway in Pietermaritzburg on Sunday and here we saw a smart performance from the newcomer TRINI’S VAR HYT. Sent off second in the betting market at 2/1, the daughter of Var led throughout. She was always in command and only having to be pushed out went on to score with authority by three and a half.

On my clock the faster of the two 1200m races was the KZN Summer Challenge Final in which MONTE CHRISTO completed a quick double. Backed into 28/10 from 7/2 before the off, Charlie Laird’s charge raced in midfield for most of the journey. He ran on strongly over the final 400m and under a well-judged ride from Anton Marcus, he got up late to deny the easy to back ROY’S MARCIANO (raced handy – led 250m).

The two races over 1400m were maiden plates and quickest against the clock here was WILD WICKET in the boy’s division. He got away well when the gates opened and soon up handy raced prominent throughout. He was ridden to lead as they approached the 200m marker and drew clear easily in the closing stages of the race to score by four and three quarters.

Kenilworth 13th December The faster of the two 1200m races in Cape Town on Tuesday was the MR71 Handicap in which VIKING VOYAGE did the business for the column. Sent off favourite at 28/10, the 5yo Trippi gelding was always handy. He put his head in front going through the 200m and drew clear easily in the closing stages of the race to score by three.

The faster of the two 1400m races on the card was the bill topping MR97 Handicap in which the Horse Chestnut gelding CATKIN registered his sixth career victory. On leaving the stalls it was MILTON who elected to set the pace and a brisk one it was too. Indeed, he was over four lengths clear coming off the bend.

The early effort did begin to take its toll late though and running on stoutly from third position Joey Ramsden’s charge got up late to deny the newly installed favourite BRILLIANT CRIMSON (raced 2nd – led 100m).

A maiden plate for the girls over 1200m had gotten proceedings underway and here we saw a smart performance from the newcomer LOVE TO BOOGIE. Allowed to drift as if a win was out of the question (10/1 out to 22/1), Andre Nel’s charge ran on well from off the pace and won going away by two and a half after striking the front 50m or so from home.

TITBITS Well supported ORIENTAL OAK ran on well from the rear when only beaten a length and a quarter in the MR67 Handicap over 1600m.

Pillar To Post Turffontein 13th December They raced on the old stand side track on Tuesday evening where the easiest victory on the card was recorded by the newcomer PUNTA CANA in the opening maiden juvenile plate over 1000m.

Taken straight to the front by Randal Simons, Mike De Kock’s charge led throughout. He kept on strongly at the business end of the race and with some in hand won by three and three quarters.

Three of the nine races were run over 1400m and stopping the clock in the fastest time amongst these was the bottom weight YANKEE CAPTAIN when winning the MR80 Handicap. As per usual in midfield early on, Sean Tarry’s charge put his head in front going through the 200m and just held on by the narrowest of margins from his lessor fancied stable companion HAWAIIAN SUN (came from the rear).

The faster of the two 1000m races was the MR64 Handicap in which the Argonaut mare PIED PIPERESS registered her third career victory. She got away well when the gates opened and was always handy. She was ridden to lead approaching the 100m pole and won going away by a length and a half from the regular place getter LADY ON FIRE. TITBITS Returning from a six month layoff here, and out at the weights with a few to boot, CAPTAIN’S CAUSEWAY ran on well at the business end of the race when making it four wins from just seven starts in the pinnacle stakes over 1160m.

Changing Tactices

Greyville 14th December They raced on both surfaces on Wednesday the straight, and after striking the front 400m afternoon where the only distance to stage out, he kept on determinedly. Indeed, it was only more than one race was 1600m on the turf. close home that the 6yo got his measure.

The Silvano gelding CALABASH was all the rage AIR CHIEF MARSHAL won the fastest of these when taking his tally of wins to four in the to win the lucky last, a maiden plate over 2400m MR72 Handicap. Soon up handy, Candice Bass- (turf), and he didn’t let down his supporters.

Robinson’s charge ran on strongly in the straight Seen running on strongly from off the pace in and comfortably accounted for the running on recent starts, Gareth Van Zyl’s charge was soon up handy here.

FIRST APOSTLE by two.

He took command early in the straight and A MR89 Handicap (turf) over the same distance topped the bill and in a time 0,45 went on to score with authority by five from the seconds slower than that of Air Chief Marshal, staying on ROY’S FLYER. CAPEL TOP landed the spoils. Always handy, TITBITS Dean Kannemeyer’s charge was perfectly placed After being a little slow into stride, SWEET to strike throughout.

REFRAIN ran on well from the rear when a two The 8yo top weight SILVER SPRING (also length runner up in the qualified maiden plate raced handy) was the first to make a move in over 1600m.

Just A Shadow Turffontein 15th December This was the meeting originally scheduled to take place on the Vaal’s outside track. The two 1200m events were switched to 1160m and quickest home in these was the Sean Tarry trained MOMBELA. On leaving the stalls it was WINTER AL who elected to make the running and the lightly weighted Captain Al mare soon had the field well strung out.

Mombela meanwhile lost a length at the start and very quickly found himself positioned in the rear. Once given rein though, the son of Trippi quickened best of all and won well by two from his stable companion RIBOVAR who also came from the rear.

Three of the afternoon’s nine races were run over 1000m where the quickest home was the 4yo DOLPHIN. Sent off favourite at 18/10 to

the win the MR72 Handicap, Robbie Sage’s charge adopted a change of tactics under Piere Strydom here and made the running. He kept up a healthy gallop throughout and won well by three quarters from the easy to back top weight MOVIE SHOW. They also ran three races over 1600m and in the fastest of these, a MR70 Handicap, it was nice to see the once highly regarded SHADOW LINE find the winner’s enclosure. Racing off a mark some 20 points lower than his last victory, the 7yo Toreador gelding was soon up handy.

He was ridden to lead as they approached the 300m marker and kept on strongly in the latter stages to fend off a determined challenge from the recent maiden winner SMARTIFACT. TITBITS After making the running by just a length, OUTLANDER cruised clear over the final 400m of the maiden juvenile plate over 1000m to score by eight.

The Deputy Dominates

T

Lammerskraal Stud’s resident sire, Go Deputy (Deputy Minister), enjoyed a memorable day at Kenilworth on Grand Parade Cape Guineas day last Saturday, writes Sarah Whitelaw.

he chestnut, who was represented by just four runners at the meeting, had a 50% strike rate in the day’s features, with his son, Icy Trail, landing the Gr2 Sun International Premier Trophy and another Go Deputy , Royal Badge, capturing the Gr3 Grand West Sun Cape Summer Stayers Handicap.

Royal Badge, third to Marinaresco in the Gr3 Winter Classic, also proved yet another boost to the form of last season’s Cape Winter Series races – franked by the likes of champion, Marinaresco (Silvano), and impressive recent winner, Whisky Baron (Manhattan Rain).

Stayers

Go Deputy has dominated the last two runnings of the Cape Summer Stayers Handicap, with Current Event having captured that race last year.

Icy Trail and Royal Badge became the third and fourth graded winners, respectively, to have emerged from their sire’s current four-year-old crop.

This crop is headed by Triple Crown winner, Abashiri, and Gr2 Gold Bracelet victress, Flying Ice. Remarkably, it also includes three other stakes horses, and Go Deputy’s 2012 foal crop has the impressive strike rate of 16 winners from just 25 runners. It is also perhaps

notable that his progeny get better with age, and Go Deputy’s already impressive record looks likely to improve further still.

The former turf star and G21 winner also has a smart filly in his current 3yo crop, in the form of Gr3 Fillies Mile runner up, Tambalang.

Go Deputy is by a sire whose descendants continue to do well in North America.

US Stud Book

Deputy Minister left behind a tremendous mark on the US stud book, where his descendants had a particular impact on both the Breeders’ Cup races and the longest of the US classic races, the Gr1 Belmont Stakes.

This year alone, the son

Go Deputy of Vice Regent ranks as the broodmare sire of Gr1 winners Abel Tasman (Starlet Stakes) and Frosted (Whitney Stakes, Met Hcp).

Deputy Minister himself left behind the Breeders’ Cup winners Open Mind, Go For Wand and Awesome Again, with the latter going on to sire four BC winners, notably Horse Of The Year and Classic winner, Ghostzapper.

Van Zyl’s Var Flyer Lowers Record

T

Super sire Var’s good son Isca smashed the Scottsville 1000m course and class record in near perfect conditions on Sunday.

he Gavin van Zyl trained grey flyer beat the well-performed previous course record holder Muscatt by 0,15 lengths to set the new benchmark of 55,68 secs.

With the blinkers removed after they had appeared to compound his naughtiness in the starting stalls, the 4yo tracked his field before finding a sustained finish under Keagan De Melo to register his third win from 17 starts.

Bred and raced by the Witbank-based Werner and Nelmare Ackerman, Isca is out of the unraced Brazillianbred Impression mare, Jolie

Bele. She was purchased in a package by Corne Spies and Marlon Aronstam but was injured on the flight from

Brazil and never raced. Isca’s half-brother by Spectrum won three races and with the grey speedster’s latest signs of

promise, the Ackermans may yet rue the fact that they gave the mare away.

The astute Van Zyl says he has plans for Isca.

“He just doesn’t enjoy Joburg, but I’d like to aim him at the Computaform Sprint and raid from Summerveld. I have always believed that one needs a horse to run a sub 56 secs to have a shout in the Computaform – and now that he has shown us that he can do it, he certainly warrants the chance.”

The top former jockey’s observations are borne out by the times set by three of the past five Computaform Sprint winners: Carry On Alice (2016) clocked 55,74 secs, Alboran Sea (2015) clocked 55,59 secs and the outstanding What A Winter (2013) clocked 55,67 secs.

Remarkably, Ghostzapper has also gone on to enjoy Breeders’ Cup success, via his daughter Judy The Beauty.

Deputy Minister mares have produced Breeders’ Cup winners Curlin (Smart Strike), Halfbridled (Unbridled), Man Of Iron (Giant’s Causeway), and Tapizar (Tapit) –among others.

Another son of Deputy Minister to have made his mark on the Breeders’ Cup is the undefeated Silver Deputy, whose daughter, Silverbulletday, captured the 1998 BC Juvenile Fillies.

Silver Deputy is also broodmare sire of the Breeders’ Cup winning champions Groupie Doll and Wavell Avenue.

Not only did Deputy Minister sire 1997 Belmont Stakes winner, Touch Gold, but his daughter, Better Than Honour, foaled two winners of the race (Jazil and Rags To Riches), while another Deputy Minister mare, Rhythm Of Life, produced shock Belmont winner, Sarava (Wild Again).

Ice Cool

Deputy Minister is also broodmare sire of triple Gr1 winner Frosted (Tapit) –who was second to Triple Crown winner, American Pharoah (Pioneerof The Nile) in the 2015 Belmont Stakes.

Deputy Minister also made a marked impression on the Gr1 Kentucky Oaks, arguably US’s most important race for 3yo fillies.

The dual US champion sire left behind a pair of Kentucky Oaks winners in Open Mind and Keeper Hill, while the Deputy Minister granddaughters, Silverbulletday and Rags To Riches won that Churchill

Downs classic in 1999 and 2007 respectively.

To date, Deputy Minister is the broodmare sire of more than 200 stakes winners, while his sons, Dehere, Silver Deputy and French Deputy have all gone on to enjoy considerable success as broodmare sires . French Deputy is damsire of Go Deputy’s own stable mate Visionaire (Grand Slam), among others.

Former champion 2yo Dehere is not only a successful broodmare sire but he is also damsire of dual Breeders’ Cup winner and successful sire, Midnight Lute (Real Quiet).

The Deputy Minister influence could well be felt in next year’s US Triple Crown, as his grandson, Ghostzapper, is the sire of unbeaten Gr2 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes winner, McCraken, regarded as a leading contender for the Kentucky Derby.

Not The First

Go Deputy is by no means the first son of Deputy Minister to make a mark at stud.

The likes of Awesome Again, Salt Lake, Dehere, Touch Gold, Silver Deputy, Deputy Commander, Victory Speech, Forest Camp and French Deputy (whose champion son, Left Bank, unfortunately died before commencing stud duties) have all sired at least one Gr1 winner and the majority have also enjoyed success as broodmare sires.

Deputy Minister also happens to be broodmare sire of former dual US Horse Of The Year, Curlin (Smart Strike), who ranks as one of North America’s hottest stallions, and who is set to stand for a stud fee of $150 000 in 2017. This will make the champion (whose fee equals the likes of Medaglia D’Oro and Uncle Mo) the joint third most expensive stallion standing at stud in the US next year.

No doubt the likes of Curlin, Tapizar (one of the leading first crop sires in 2016) and Frosted will do their part to ensure the name of Deputy Minister stays prominent in pedigrees of big race winners for years to come.
