SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 13th - SUNDAY 15th JANUARY 2017

THERE’S A HORSE FOR EVERYONE AT THE SUMMER READY TO RUN. Anywhere else, “leftovers” means exactly that. At Summerhill though, it means late foals, slow maturers, once-injured. In the past, the leftovers have done the talking for us; plus, we and our customers have kept them at our expense ‘til they’re Ready To Race.

The Summer R eady to Run at Summerhill on 21 February

DON’T MISS YOUR SECOND CHANCE AT FIRST PLACE.

Gr2 Diadem Stakes PAST WINNERS

Khaya Stables Gr2 DIADEM STAKES at Kenilworth on Saturday

South Africa’s highest rated sprinter Talktothestars heads a quality field that is set to do battle down the Kenilworth 1200m straight in Saturday’s renewal of the R400 000 Gr2 Diadem Stakes.

he race, formerly run in late December, boasts a proud history and looks set to provide another fascinating spectacle. It is run at weight-for-age, with penalties of 2kgs for a Gr1 win and 1kg for a Gr2 success.

Heart And Sole

Charismatic Vaal trainer Coenie de Beer, a man reputed to braai the best ribs in town and who doesn’t believe in the hype around alumites and shoes in general, makes the long trip from home base with the Overlord gelding Talktothestars, who tops the SP race ratings. The 5yo equine Zola Budd is now a ten-time winner and achieved a peak career success – without shoes naturally last term in the Gr1 Tsogo Sun Sprint. He subsequently ran fifth in the Mercury Sprint behind Red Ray, appearing not to quite enjoy the Greyville turn. The barefoot bomber’s new season campaign started in an unconventional manner – a trip to the Kimberley dust bowl where he duly won. His last run produced something like his better form, when he came on late for a 2,40 length third behind

Trip To Heaven in the Joburg Merchants. He knows the Kenilworth strip and runs for Piere Strydom - and meets the revitalised Trip To Heaven on 1,5kgs better terms here.

Heaven Sent

The Tarry gelding has won 6 of 16 and has his first start in the fairest Cape. His trainer certainly knows his way around these parts! Joey Ramsden’s Mercury Sprint winner Red Ray returns from a 26 week break but may well be fitter than he looks on paper, thanks to the famous Goodhope Racing treadmill. He is technically held by Talktothestars on his Tsogo Sun run, but there were excuses – a lost shoe being one of them. At varying levels of well-being, he actually beat Trip To Heaven 5,5 lengths at level weights with a storming win in the Mercury. Listed Southeaster Sprint winner Tevez is an enthusiastic 7yo. He ran 8th behind stablemate Lanner Falcon in this race in 2015, and has won 2 of his last 5 starts – never further off than 3,10 lengths in the process. Gulf Storm ran third behind Lanner Falcon in the previous renewal of this race, and ran disappointingly in the

la Hcap Gr2 Peninsu , 7 January Kenilworth er for train BJ Crawford

Southeaster Sprint when 3,40 lengths behind Tevez. He is a half kilo better off with the Bass speedster, but will need to improve to feature.

Captain Of The Heart

Snaith runner Captain Alfredo showed the benefit of a wait-and-see Piere Strydom ride, when dashing through late for third in the Merchants behind Search Party. While he gets the red hot Richard Fourie in the saddle and is as much as 6kgs better off with Search Party, he seems best over the minimum trip and looks unlikely to repeat against class here. Victorious Jay has not won in over a year and looks unlikely to spark here. That said, he has run some decent races in strong company and is 3kgs better off with Search Party for a 2,60 length Merchants fourth last time. Line Break has been struggling to regain his better earlier form and is well held by stablemate Tevez. Exelero is the second of the Marshall runners. He failed to show in the Merchants and looks outpointed on these conditions.

End To End

The Merchants winner Search Party showed cracking resolve over Saturday’s course-

and-distance with his end-toend Merchants win but faces a very different hurdle at these weight conditions. The son of Captain Al has won 3 of his last 4 starts and could raise his game again. Listed East Cape Guineas winner Brilliant Crimson has nothing on his formline to suggest that sprinting is his forte. He looks to have a tough task off his 92 rating. The Var gelding Purple Mountains returns home after a KZN campaign that rendered just one polytrack win. He looks likely to need the outing after an 11 week break. Andre Nel’s La Favourari

ran a decent fourth in the Listed Southeaster Sprint, but is as much as 7,5kgs worse off with Tevez for a 1,55 length deficit and that won’t be an easy reversal to pull off. The weightfor-age terms of this race favour the top-rated trio of Talktothestars, Red Ray and Trip To Heaven.

Diadem’s Crowning Glory Multiple Equus champion What A Winter, who sired his very first winner on the same track just a matter of weeks ago, was the most recent dual winner of a race that dates back to 1974. Mike Bass also trained the most recent winner, Lanner Falcon. The Diadem was won that first year by the top sprinter Lancaster, who was ridden by present day Milnerton conditioner Paddy Kruyer for trainer Alec Soteriadis. The race evolved from an event called the WFA Diadem Plate, which then changed to the Southern Cross Plate, and then became the Southern Cross Stakes. In 1974 the two races split properly and there was both a Southern Cross Plate (won by Mrs Noah) and a Diadem (won by Lancaster). While What A Winter made it his own in 2011 and 2012, the Charles Laird trained Nhlavini and Eric Sands’ brilliant Waterville Lake sprinter Flobayou are the leading lights of the race with three wins apiece over the past four decades. Nhlavini, who raced in the Mayfair Speculators silks, won it in 2001 and 2002, was second

in 2004 and won it again in 2005. Four-times Queen’s Plate winner Pocket Power was second in 2006. In 2007 the Diadem was won by Rebel King, with Blue Tiger in 2nd (both are now stallions). In 2008 the fortunes were reversed with Blue Tiger winning it, Pocket Power in 2nd and Rebel King 3rd. Blue Tiger was 2nd again in 2009 and 3rd in 2010. Rothmans July winner Over The Air won the Diadem in 1979 but he was not the only July winner to do it. The Chris Snaith trained July winner Flaming Rock also tasted success in the Diadem. The son of Ballad Rock won it in 1991 and 1992 – that’s 25 years ago if you’re feeling your age! Champion sire Captain Al won the Diadem in 2000 and his sire son Captain Of All lifted the trophy in 2014. Captain Al has two runners in Captain Alfredo and Search Party carrying the flag on Saturday. Genevieve Michel enjoys the honour of being the only lady jockey to win the race. She piloted the Jallad gelding Okukama to victory in 1998.

Anton Marcus and Legal Eagle power to a royal double

L’Ormarins Gr1 QUEEN’S PLATE at Kenilworth last Saturday

SA Horse Of The Year Legal Eagle showed once again that he has no peers over a mile when achieving the rare feat of back-to-back L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate victories with a sensational run at Kenilworth on Saturday.

he champion 5yo had been given a fright by the year younger Marinaresco in the Gr2 Green Point Stakes five weeks ago. But the anticipated rematch, or boat race as it is popularly dubbed, failed to materialise on Saturday, as the smashing Avontuur Stud-bred gelding made the prestigious mile all his own and owned the beautiful day. In a fine feat of training, SA champion conditioner Sean Tarry had been proven spot-on with his assessment that he still ‘had something to work on’ after the apparently ‘running on empty’ Green Point success. That despite conceding at the same instance that trainers ‘sometimes bluff themselves’! 24 years after his opening L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate victory on Empress Club, Anton Marcus made it six personal wins in the prestigious weight-for-age mile. He also celebrated a superb Gr1 double and rode four winners on the blue and white

afternoon, enjoying something of an armchair ride on the champion, who hit the front full of running at the 400m, to win going away. In his typically self-effacing sporting fashion, Marcus said that he had every respect for his ten opponents as the race was a Gr1, and made special mention of the horse expected to be his arch-rival, Marinaresco, who he suggested was ‘a very good horse’. They are likely to meet again in the Met. “There is elation but there is expectation too. I had no rear-view mirror and didn’t know how far they were behind me,” he said with a broad smile. After losing a shoe and being attended to by the farrier at the start, Midnite Zone (also in the Mayfair Speculators silks) cut out a decent pace, with Legal Eagle always within earshot. With his mount full of running, Marcus could wait no longer at the 400m, and he gave the Greys Inn gelding his head to roars of applause. Only looking ahead, Marcus steered Legal Eagle to victory as he stormed home for the

royal double. He won at odds of 13-20, recording an unpressured winning margin of 2,25 lengths in a time of 97,73 secs. Gr1 winner Captain America was also always thereabouts and ran a much better race off a less frenetic pace than he faced in the Green Point Stakes. He held on for second, 0,75 lengths ahead of his stablemate Sail South, who was given an interesting change of tactics today by Richard Fourie. The son of Sail From Seattle stormed home late to run a cracker. The 2-1 second favourite Marinaresco had only Sail South behind him turning for home and, while he quickened, he hesitated momentarily and had no chance with the top three and finished what was a disappointing fourth, 3,30 lengths behind the Eagle. Piere Strydom enjoyed a rare quiet afternoon with July winner The Conglomerate

running a fair Sun Met prep from his wide draw to finish 5,60 lengths back in seventh. Gr1 winner and stablemate to the winner, French Navy, failed to fire and finished just 0,40 lengths behind The Conglomerate. He may be a different horse over the 2000m in the Met. The 2016 SA Triple Crown champion Abashiri also ran a disappointing race, finishing stone last and 12,40 lengths off the winner. The beleaguered son of Go Deputy has a mountain to climb before the Sun Met in under three weeks – that’s if he runs. HRH Princess Eugenie of York and British High Commissioner Dame Judith Mcgregor added a glamorous touch to the postrace presentation after the winner was led in by a host of connections, that included Michael Jooste and elated breeder Pippa Mickleburgh, who celebrated a triumphant festival with a Gr2 success

for Avontuur on Friday. The top-class consistent Legal Eagle has won 9 races (5 Gr1’s) from his 15 starts with 4 places for stakes of R7 022 875. A son of Vodacom Durban July winner Greys Inn, he is out of the six-time winning National Emblem mare Young Sensation, who was also trained by Sean Tarry. While there is some way to go yet, the champion miler ( cleverly labelled ‘quite underrated’ by the astute and outspoken Joey Ramsden) must have claims to another Horse Of The Year title! He was bought by Sean Tarry on behalf of top owner Markus Jooste for R425 000 at the 2013 BSA National Yearling Sale. Now for the Sun Met – and bring on the cynics and the naysayers again. This great horse has no stamina limitations and will be a major player on 28 January at the same venue.

Gr2 PENINSULA HANDICAP at Kenilworth last Saturday

Baron For Sun Met

Brett Crawford’s Whisky Baron grabbed himself the title of the 2017 Sun Met super unknown with a dazzling performance to win the R400 000 Gr2 Peninsula Handicap at Kenilworth on Saturday.

hile Whisky Baron has had a relatively ‘soft’ path into the Sun Met and Saturday’s feature was a handicap, the 4yo can do little more than win and this he has done with authority after gelding – the Peninsula being his fourth consecutive success – and he remains unbeaten this term. He has galloped his way into the top echelon of the Sun Met betting. Going off a 16-10 favourite, the Australian bred son of Manhattan Rain showed character

and resilience after being badly bumped halfway through the 1800m Peninsula Handicap. He recovered smartly and moved away like a horse ready to take on the big guns to beat the pacesetting Milton by 2 lengths in 1 time of 110,6 secs. He came back with a cut on his chest, but that is unlikely to be a hindrance factor in his prep for 28 January. It is worth noting that the time set by Whisky Baron was 1,56 secs faster than that set by champion filly and likely Met opponent Bela-Bela, who won Saturday’s Gr1 Paddock Stakes, and 2,47 secs faster than the

progressive Horizon, who won the Gr3 Politician Stakes. Trainer Brett Crawford expressed the yard’s excitement about the Met and jockey Greg Cheyne said, ‘we have a date in three weeks!’ The consistent 5yo Milton clung on for second 0,40 lengths ahead of Gr1 Investec Cape Derby winner It’s My Turn, who caused some interference after pulling hard in running. Gr2 Premier Trophy winner Icy Trail ran no kind of race, finishing seventh and 3,75 lengths back, after having to steady for a number of strides in the wake of the It’s My Turn roll around. St Tropez ran a 5,70 length eleventh and he

is best left alone as a punting proposition. A $50,000 Inglis Easter purchase for C Roscoe/ J Ramsden from the Arrowfield Stud draft, Whisky Baron became the ninth stakes winner for Redoute’s Choice half-brother Manhattan Rain. He is the only Black Type horse among four winners out of the unraced Sinndar mare, Tazkara (Fr), who has returned to France after producing five foals in Australia. Whisky Baron has now won 5 races in the Craig and Ross Kieswetter silks with 7 places from 12 starts for stakes of R596 375. The last Peninsula Handicap winner to pull off the big one

was Vaughan Marshall’s Hill Fifty Four, who won the Met in 2014 under a superb Anton Marcus ride. With a name like his, Whisky Baron would be quite an ironic winner in the very first renewal after the departure of J&B! Anton Marcus mentioned his name in the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate winning interview on Saturday as a Sun Met danger. Whisky Baron will carry 2,5kgs less than Legal Eagle and 2kgs less than Marinaresco. We look forward to a fascinating contest on 28 January!

Maine Chance Farms Gr1 PADDOCK STAKES at Kenilworth last Saturday JEREMY NELSON

Bela-Bela and Anton Marcus power home up the wide outside

Dynasty’s magnificent grey daughter Bela-Bela galloped her way into our hearts and the history books when coming from a seemingly hopeless position to swoop for a scintillating victory in the R1 million Gr1 Maine Chance Farms Paddock Stakes at Kenilworth on Saturday.

rey horses have an unfair advantage somehow – especially if they can run – and the response from the crowd when Equus champion Bela-Bela cantered down was matched by the roar that accompanied her storming late victory surge from some lengths back. South Africa’s top weight-for-age race for fillies and mares demands a subtle mix of speed and stamina and attracted a quality field. It was also to be yet another contest on a magnificent day that looked likely to be dominated by just a few. With Bela-Bela ahead 2-1 in her clashes with 2015 Cape Fillies Guineas winner Silver Mountain, the stage was set for a titanic duel. And racegoers were not to be disappointed. Off a muddling pace set by KZN visitor Sail, Anton Marcus had Bela-Bela some ten lengths back in the early stages and things looked bleak at the 400m as Safe Harbour and Silver Mountain got first run on her. Bela-Bela found herself directly behind Silver Mountain as the Bass-Robinson filly turned on the power. Marcus was forced to switch his mount out in a ground-costing move that underscored the merit of her win. With seven of them across the length of the course at the 250m it was anybody’s race, with Lanzerac Ready To Run winner Safe Harbour under a hard ride but holding a marginal

advantage. In an impressive display of class and stamina, Bela-Bela lifted like the top-class athlete we know she is and got up hard against the outside rail to beat Safe Harbour by 0,40 lengths in a time of 111,51 secs. Silver Mountain had looked dangerous late but weakened and was a length further back in third. Her stablemate Nightingale made up plenty of ground to secure fourth, a further 0,75 lengths back, to shade the gallant Star Express. Anton Marcus confirmed that the race was not run at a ‘Gr1 pace’. “We had a few anxious moments but the good ones get themselves out of trouble. I had my eye on Silver Mountain all the way. The second filly (Safe Harbour) is one of the top 3yos in country. In the end Bela-Bela’s class and stamina told,” said Marcus, who enjoyed a memorable day. Varsfontein’s Susan Rowett was thrilled and thanked the winning breeders, Cheveley Stud. “My father won this race with Indira in 1970 and she became a foundation mare of Varsfontein,” she said. Justin Snaith said that Bela-Bela had no luck when the July weights had been manipulated and things worked against the 3yo’s. “The process allows that and I’m all for it. But it worked against our plans for Bela-Bela. But she has bounced back strongly and even though one prep run coming into this was not ideal, she is just so classy and so good, she overcame the obstacles. She is a horse that people follow and

this was a quality field, so yes I was very quiet while watching the race,” he laughed in response to a question. Bela-Bela has a racing track record out of the top drawer and she became her champion sire Dynasty’s ninth individual Gr1 winner when clinching the Gr1 Woolavington 2000 last season. She has won 6 races with 1 place from 9 starts and stakes of R1 811 875. Bred by Cheveley Stud, she was purchased by Varsfontein Stud at the National 2yo sale for R1,4 million. Dynasty’s daughter hails

from an outstanding winning female line. She is out of the prolific winner producing Royal Academy mare, Mystic Spring, whose champion sire, a Breeders Cup Mile winner, left behind no fewer than 167 stakes winner. Mystic Spring’s dam, Secret Sunday, was a full sister to Mystiko – who gave Michael Roberts his first British classic when winning the 1991 English 2000 Guineas. Mystic Spring’s best runner was ill-fated champion Rabiya, who tragically suffered a fatal break down in the running of

the 2005 Durban July. Before his untimely death, Rabiya had won over R1 million, and landed both the Gr1 Cape Guineas and Gr2 Cape Derby, as well as Gr1 Daily News 2200. Secret of Victoria won four features, including the Cape’s two graded sprint races for fillies – the Gr2 Sceptre Stakes and Gr2 Southern Cross Stakes. Important strategic decisions now have to be made about Bela-Bela’s next engagement on 28 January. Will it be the Sun Met over 2000m or the Majorca Stakes over a mile? We’d bank on the former.

What A Life!

Gr2 SCEPTRE STAKES

at Kenilworth last Friday

Candice Bass-Robinson registered her second Gr2 success in the space of three weeks when the Avontuur-bred Trippi filly Live Life sprung a surprise when downing multiple Gr1 star Carry On Alice in the final strides to win the R400 000 Gr2 Sceptre Stakes.

ay one of the inaugural L’ O r m a r i n s Q u e e n ’ s Plate Festival proved an unprecedented success in what is an historic first for South African horseracing. An admittedly modest crowd turned out to brave the windy conditions on a workday Friday and were treated to competitive racing – and a 16 to 1 upset in the feature to keep the feet on

the ground of the boat race merchants. The Sceptre Stakes really had looked a duel between the proven Gr1 winners Carry On Alice and Real Princess, but the fairytale turned into a blue Friday, in more ways than one. After Victoria Lavelle had gone quickly, S’manga Khumalo brought Carry On Alice with a promising effort to hit the front at the 400m, with her opposition appearing to be under pressure. At this point Live Life

was some 8 lengths back and seemingly going nowhere fast. The complexion of the race changed dramatically over the final 200m as Grant van Niekerk brought Live Life with an optimistic, and rather cheeky, looking late effort down the centre. The 3yo daughter of Trippi quickened like a good thing and finished powerfully to peg back Carry On Alice and drew away beautifully to win by 0,75 lengths in a time of 72,60 secs.

Carry On Alice ran her usual gutsy race but appeared to tire late and withstood the late chase from Beach Goddess who was 0,30 lengths away in third. Champery picked up her form profile marginally to grab fourth, 1,50 lengths behind SA 1000m record holder, Scandal. The disappointment was the other Trippi filly in the contest in SA Fillies Sprint winner Real Princess who appeared to be travelling well, but changed legs late and stopped to eighth and 6,30 lengths back. This was not her run. Live Life was no cheapie and came to races with a big reputation. She certainly confirmed that talk at her first stakes success, despite her jockey and trainer using the

word ‘surprise’ in the postrace interview. She races in the dark green and khaki of big buying owners, Hunkydory Investments (Pty) Ltd, who have high hopes with the promising looking Horizon in the Politician Stakes on Saturday. Trainer Candice BassRobinson is enjoying a better run and after her Gr2 Premier Trophy win on 17 December, she was thrilled about another Gr2 success so soon. ” I was concerned about her being a 3yo taking on the older classy sprinters. She surprised me but not really,” she said. Grant van Niekerk, who found some personal better form on the day with a winning double, described the winner as a filly with a big future.

“She surprised me and I will be amped to ride her next time,” he chirped. Sired by SA champion sire Trippi, the Cape Premier Yearling Sale R2.5 million graduate was bred by Avontuur and is a daughter of the smashing National Assembly seven-time winning speedster Viva. This is the dam of the topclass Cold As Ice and the next in line of a wonderful female line, with Avontuur GM Pippa Mickleburgh giving a clue to her age as she reflected back to the start of the line in her Hoog Eind Stud days! Live Life has won 3 races with 3 places from 8 starts and took her earnings to R401 250. She is likely to be in the Bass-Robinson SA Champions Season string.

Grant Van Niekerk steers Horizon to an encouraging Derby trial success

Richard Fourie and Banner Hill outstay them to register a good win

Gr3 POLITICIAN STAKES at Kenilworth last Saturday While he may not have beaten much, the high-profile Dynasty colt Horizon put together a convincing performance and booked his ticket into the Investec Cape Derby when winning the R250 000 Gr3 Politician Stakes at Kenilworth on Saturday.

Gr3 CHAIRMAN’S CUP at Kenilworth last Saturday Glen Kotzen and Richard Fourie are the hottest combination in the country at the moment. They teamed up with another two winners at Kenilworth on Saturday, with Banner Hill scoring a smooth victory in the BMW Gr3 Chairman’s Cup over 3200m.

hile Banner Hill’s feature success was an undoubted highlight, there was nothing wrong with the combination’s first score on the day with the slightly built debutante, Namibia. The daughter of Var was backed and duly arrived on an impressive debut. The stable also sent out the Judpot filly Ostinato in the same race, and she ran on well for third to qualify for a run on Met day. But Fourie was at his best in the stayer’s feature, content to idle near the rear in a pedestrian affair. With 300m to go, he set the 4yo Banner Hill alight and he responded like a decent hearted galloper to outgun another grandson of Danehill in the proven topweight Ovidio by 0,40 lengths in a nothing to write home about 216,36 secs. We had liked the way Banner Hill had been sharpened up by the astute Kotzen in an 1800m prep, and that razor edge may well have played into his favour when it counted here. It was a very decent effort in second by Ovidio, who was giving the winner 10,5 kgs. My World was 0,75 lengths back in third and he always tries hard without ever seeming able to get there. The 7yo Coltrane grabbed fourth. The recent Cape Summer Stayers winner Royal Badge disappointed in sixth and

4,25 lengths behind the winner. The winning owners Melanie Watson, and Hugo and Suzanne Hattingh were on course to lead their charge in. An improving stayer, Banner Hill has now won 5 races from 1600m to 3200m, with 5 places from 13 starts and stakes of R406 450. Banner Hill, who cost R450 000 at the National Yearling Sale, may not have a pedigree very familiar to South African buyers. He is out of the USA winning Dynaformer mare, Bless You, who is the dam of a German stakes placed winner by Henrythenavigator. He is by a solid middle distance performer in Gestut Fahrhof’s stallion Tiger Hill (Danehill—The Filly, by Appianni II) who died in eerily similar circumstances to his own sire in 2012. Tiger Hill was purchased out of the 1996 Baden-Baden yearling auction for $74,360 and raced for Georg Baron von Ullmann, winning three Gr1’s and the Gr2 MehlMuelhens-Rennen (German Two Thousand Guineas) among his 10 wins from 17 starts. His four placings included a third in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Retired from racing, Tiger Hill first did stallion duty at Haras du Val Henry in France before moving to Ullmann’s Gestut Schlenderhan, Germany’s oldest privately owned stud. Tiger Hill has a very continental female family that is free of the most common

names found in today’s pedigrees. Bred in Ireland by Gestut Wittekindshof, Tiger Hill was out of the unraced mare The Filly, whose sire Derby Italiano winner Appiani II was a champion in Italy and a leading sire in Germany. Tiger Hill’s first crop produced nine black-type winners. After this showing, Banner Hill may find his way into the Gr2 Western Cape Stayers on Sun Met day – supplementary entries for that close on Wednesday 11 January.

rying the 1800m for the first time, the handsome colt rose to the occasion and suggested that the 2000m of the Derby in three weeks time would be well within his range. The one-time sale recordbreaker yearling has been a natural pressure horse from day one and nobody was better placed to sum up the Bass –Robinson camp sentiment after the Derby trial than the man who started the business over 40 years ago. “It isn’t easy you know. He cost money and was a small yearling. But he looks to have gone the way we thought he might go. In fact he has the look of a stallion about him. And now that he is winning, he looks to be on his way,” said the conservative and

highly respected Mike Bass – a man whose eye for picking yearlings has been proven on the racetrack for decades. Horizon races in the dark green and khaki of new owners Piet and Vivia du Toit, who tasted success on day one of the LQP Festival, when their 3yo Live Life won the Gr2 Sceptre Stakes. And after the Jet Master Stakes debacle of his previous run, jockey Grant van Niekerk made no mistakes on Saturday, with Horizon cruising home by 1,25 lengths to beat Gr3 Langerman placer Newlands in a time of 113,07 secs. The Bass’ would also have been pleased with the effort of their second stringer Ollivander, who secured third to maintain his consistent form. Candice Bass-Robinson said afterwards – “Horizon is

a heavy horse. I would love to geld him tomorrow! But that is not going to happen as he is beautifully bred and we have high expectations of him.” Bred by Maine Chance Farms, Horizon, originally named Shining Knight, made the headlines when he smashed the South African auction record when knocked down to Mike Bass for R5.2 million at the CTS Cape Premier Yearling Sale in January 2015. By SA Horse Of The Year Dynasty, Horizon is out of a full-sister to former champion sire Silvano. The very progressive looking Horizon has won 2 races with 2 places from 5 starts for stakes of R241 025. He was the second feature winner and third success for the yard over the two day festival.

Better To Come JAMAICA HANDICAP (Listed) at Kenilworth last Saturday

Joey Ramsden and Greg Cheyne drew first blood on the opening day of the inaugural L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Festival at a windswept Kenilworth on Friday when the scopy Silvano filly Epona gave notice of better things to come with a smart win in the R150 000 Listed Jamaica Handicap.

itting at the front at the 250m marker, Epona galloped strongly to get the better of the year older Louisiana by 2 lengths in a time of 126,58 secs. Nima finished best of the

Snaith runners to grab third, a further 0,40 lengths back. The Avontuur-sponsored Greg Cheyne, who enjoyed a successful festival, labelled Epona ‘a well-related filly on the up’. “She is going to be a top filly next year,” said the senior Cape rider, who currently leads the SA

national log. Trainer Joey Ramsden was in high spirits, saying that the two day festival was a huge plus. “Epona will enjoy 2000m plus as her optimum trip – she’s a smashing filly and watch her in three or four months time,” said the astute conditioner.

Mayfair Speculators Racing Manager Derek Brugman said that the 3yo Epona ‘was up there with the bigger ones around over ground’. The Klawervlei Stud-bred Epona is a daughter of Silvano out of the Al Mufti mare, Laptop Lady. That makes her a halfsister to Camden Park stallion Jay Peg, who stands at the same farm. Epona, who was registering her first stakes success, was a R1,8 million Emperors Palace Select Yearling Sale graduate and has won 3 races with 3 places from 7 starts for stakes of R203 450.

Honouring The Mighty ‘Muis’ S u n d a y

a t

S c o t t s v i l l e

Sunday’s Scottsville feature is named in honour of one of the greatest jockeys produced in this country. Eleven time SA champion and 1992 champion of Britain, Muis Roberts turns 63 in May and seems to have been around forever in many of our racing lives.

he R150 000 Listed Michael Roberts Handicap is a low-key feature but a deserved tribute to this living legend of the game who rode the first of 3968 career winners at the Pietermaritzburg track in 1968 on a horse called Smyrn. The first South African human or equine- ever to grace the cover of The Blood-Horse magazine, he is probably best remembered internationally for his association with the great Mtoto who won the 1987 and 1988 Coral Eclipse stakes and went on to add the King George and Queen Elizabeth II Stakes to his impressive record. A Summerveld trainer these days, Roberts’ illustrious career has been well documented and we thought we’d pull out a few questions and answers on record to illustrate the great memories and magic moments provided

by a man we all feel entitled to affectionately call ‘Muis’.

Mystiko (2000 Guineas), he was world-class!

The best horse I’ve ever ridden?

The best filly I’ve ridden?

Has to be Mtoto. He was 3 to 5 lengths better than Lando at 1½ miles which is the true test of a great horse.

My greatest moment?

The sight of 200 000 people cheering when I turned to canter back after winning the Japan Cup on Lando in 1995.

My biggest pay cheque?

You won’t believe it, but I banked the equivalent of R176 000 for winning the Japan Cup. Racing in Japan is the best in the world. Their tote turnover on one race can be as high as the whole of South Africas turnover for the whole year - in dollar terms.

My greatest honour?

Meeting the Queen after winning the King George and Q.E. Stakes.

My best miler?

Sledgehammer! Better than Barathea (Breeders Cup) and

Indian Skimmer by a street.

Race you are best known for?

“Probably the last match race in South Africa on December 30, 1989. It was called The Winning Form Challenge and it was a mile race between a son and daughter of Northern Guest - Senor Santa and Northern Princess. There was a capacity crowd on hand to witness it even with a cricket test and a major surfing competition underway on the same day. Everyone said Senor Santa would win it but I just kept a little bit in reserve. We sat and waited for him [Senor Santa] and in 3 strides my filly went bang and got him on the line. The crowd went bananas.” A neck injury resulting from a fall in the UK in 2001 led to Michael Roberts retiring from riding at the age of 48, just 32 winners short of his 4000 milestone.

Cape-Breds Take On The World!

Fresh off being represented by both the Gr1 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate winner and Gr1 Maine Chance Farms Paddock Stakes winner, Cape breeders were represented by two more notable winners this past weekend, when Tellina scored in Germany and Five Up High won in Hong Kong respectively.

ive Up High-a half-brother to Wilgerbosdrift’s exciting new sire and former Equus Champion Soft Falling Rainscored over 1400m at Sha Tin on Sunday, to register his third Hong Kong success since relocating there. Trained by former champion South African trainer Tony Millard, Five Up High (who raced in South Africa as My Nephew Eric) dug down deep to best runner up Money Boy in a handicap over 1400m and hopefully he can build on this success. The son of Sail From Seattle, who had won his only South African start prior to being exported, is out of the winning Giant’s Causeway mare Gardener’s Delight, who has a 100% success rate to date, with all five of her runners having won. Bred by Highlands Farm, Five Up High was a R1 000 000 buy from the 2012 Emperors Palace National Yearling Sale.

He has a Jackson half brother on offer at this month’s Cape Premier Yearling Sale – and this colt is bound to prove popular! Five Up High’s half-sister, Rose Garden, also has a yearling on offer at the CPYS in the form of a Duke Of Marmalade filly and she too should find favour with buyers.

Tellina By A Mile! The Maine Chance Farms bred Tellina impressed all when storming home to win by 14 lengths at Neuss on Saturday. Trained by Andreas Wohler, Tellina gained his first victory on German soil when landing the Preis der Neusser Trainingzentrale conditions race on the all weather course at Neuss this evening. Second in the German St. Leger in Dortmund back in September, Tellina proved that the drop down in distance to 1500 metres was no issue when coming home a mightily impressive 14 length winner

under jockey Jozef Bojko from Belgian raider Mister Mackenzie, himself a previous course and distance winner. After such an impressive performance, Tellina is expected to be among the favourites for his next scheduled race, the Gr2 Grosser Preis von St. Moritz on the unique frozen lake at the famous Swiss ski resort on Sunday 26th February. A son of former champion sire Silvano, Tellina earned over R2.9 million when campaigning in South Africa, where his victories included the Gr2 Gauteng Guineas and Gr3 London News Stakes. His sire has 19 lots on offer at the Cape Premier Yearling Sale, including a three parts sister to Gr1 winner Silver Mountain (Lot 10), a brother to Gr1 Gold Cup hero Wavin’ Flag (Lot 68), and a three parts brother to Equus Champion and popular young sire Vercingetorix (Lot 211). See our CPYS preview for more! www.capebreeders.co.za

Bela-Bela Goes For Met Sensational Gr1 Paddock Stakes winner Bela-Bela was one of three runners accepted to run in the R5 million Gr1 Sun Met at Kenilworth on 28 January, when the weights were published Monday. The daughter of Dynasty is the only member of the fairer sex in the 25 strong entry list. The final declarations are

due by 11h00 on Monday 16 January, whereafter the final field announcement will be made. The public gallops and

barrier draw for the Cape’s Gr1 flagship will be held at 07h00 on Thursday 19 January.

The

2017

L’ O r m a r i n s

Queen’s

Plate

Festival

I do like mornings, it’s just a shame that they always happen so early. January is becoming much the same. I do like lots of what happens in January, I just wish it didn’t all happen quite so fast and all on top of each other.

ot only are we still reeling from Christmas and New Year (remember them?) which are traumatic on a number of levels, adding to the level of difficulty we now have the Queen’s Plate, the CTS Cape Premier Yearling Sale, Met gallops and the Met all in the same month. Quite how the poor studs manage with yearling prep, admin such as X-rays, farm viewings, all those crazy public holidays and festive season staff issues on top of it all is quite beyond me. And this year, we had the addition of the ITBF congress in the middle of it all, plus a two-day Queen’s Plate festival. A week after most are still trying to recover from New Year hangovers and figure out what day of the week it is, we suddenly realise we need to raid our wardrobes for two Queen’s Plate outfits (and pray that they still fit). Given all the above, plus a rather pernicious Southeaster that chased me in through Kenilworth’s Wetton Road gates on Friday afternoon, I did not arrive in the most festive of spirits. However, the best experiences are often the ones you least expect and Queen’s Plate Friday has just been promoted to my new favourite race day.

SA’s First Festival Somehow everyone on Queen’s Plate day seems to have a smile on their face. The parking attendants waved me through so merrily that by the time I’d parked up, I was already feeling decidedly more cheery. The course was already decorated for Saturday and Kenilworth was dressed to the nines with pots of flowers, hanging baskets and all manner of decoration and prettiness that my vocabulary doesn’t cover, all over the place. It looked and felt gorgeous and with lots of race day favourites there – both on the ground and on the horses – it really did feel like having the most wonderful private party all to ourselves. The garden party area had a jazz band, a harvest table laden with gorgeous breads and the freshest bagels. I couldn’t say why I love bagels so much, but for some reason

I consider them a special treat – even if I have to hold onto my plate with the other hand to eat them! I bumped into an old friend from my TV studio days to share lunch with and there was even a soft serve icecream stand for afters, so my day was pretty much made by lunchtime. The garden party also included complimentary sparkling wine all day, which did much to raise spirits among the crowd.

Queen’s Plate Friday has just been promoted to my new favourite race day The racing was fun and I liked the 8-race short format, which with two features (the Listed Jamaica Handicap won by Epona, Joey Ramsden’s half sister to Jay Peg, and the Gr2 Sceptre Stakes won by a flying Live Life and delivering Candice Bass-Robinson her second Gr2 in 3 weeks) was just enough to leave one wanting more. There wasn’t a huge crowd on course, but those who did venture out, had a great time. Even the wind eventually let up and the afternoon finished pleasantly with the garden party crowd lingering to enjoy the late afternoon sun. However, with Saturday to prepare for, most headed home at a sensible hour. Having done a few rounds ‘upstairs’ before going home, I stopped for a chat with the team setting up the piano in the foyer and the tuner kindly played me a few songs. With all the activity of people scurrying around tidying up after the day’s racing and adding final touches to get everything just perfect for Saturday, I left with the sort of breathless anticipation of the night before Christmas. After such a cozy, intimate outing on Friday, I was fretting slightly about having to share the course with the throngs on Saturday, but as usual, I needn’t have worried. Everything was beautifully spaced out and there was ample room for everyone. Plus, like Friday, everyone was in such a jolly mood that I found I didn’t mind too much after all.

The Beholder’s Share There was once a (nonsensical IMHO) comment made by one of our top brass that electronic and telephone betting meant we don’t need people at the races anymore, but I beg to differ. There’s that old joke which poses the conundrum, “If a man says something in a forest and his wife isn’t there to hear him, is he still wrong?” It’s a bit of a frivolous example, but you get the general idea. Racing, much like other sporting events, works of art, music and so on, needs one vital ingredient to give it value – an audience. In his book The Age Of Insight: The Quest to Understand the Unconscious in Art, Mind, and Brain, from Vienna 1900 to the Present, Nobel Prize winner Eric R. Kandel wrote, “Art is not art without the direct involvement of the viewer”. What then can sport possibly be without spectators? I do like people, just not lots of them at the same time and not when I’m trying to get from A to B (particularly when there are horses at B!). But I think Mr Kandel has a point and I do think we need people at the races not only because it makes it more fun if there is a bit of atmosphere, but also because our horses and jockeys so deserve it. It ups the stakes, it ups the adrenalin, but it also ups the performance and the reward when you get it right and judging by some of the reactions on course on Saturday, everyone was having a blast. And the best thing about people having a good time is that it’s infectious, which is perhaps why the Queen’s Plate is always such a lovely day out. Even more thrilling (for me, but I do get excited over odd things) was the fact that there was a discernible roar from the crowd at the start of one or two of the races of the kind normally reserved for the Met. It was so unexpected (I’m not sure why), that I had to pause simply to take in the sea of faces in the stands, all straining to see the horses. If we are trying to brig the crowds back to racing, then the Queen’s Plate is a shining example of how to get it right. It was one of my standout moments of the entire weekend.

The fact that the Queen’s Plate manages to be elegant as well as making you feel entirely at home at the same time is another of my favourite aspects. The fact that we’re all there for the horses fosters immediate friendships and cozy confidences which results in some surprising and fun encounters. I wandered down the chute to photograph horses cantering to the start and spotting a particularly pretty hat, couldn’t help complimenting its owner. She thanked me with a smile and we both continued watching the horses. It was not until the presentations that I realised my new friend was Princess Eugenie! Equally, down near the finish line, a grubby cheeked young boy leaned over the rail, eager to tell me his picks for the day and boast that he KNEW Legal Eagle was going to win. The Queen’s Plate is just like that.

Crowd pleaser Of course, the crowds also got their money’s worth. There was plenty of entertainment value from the podium after Whiskey Baron’s win, with much being made of his improvement since gelding, the 2015 CTS CPYS sale topper Horizon is truly magnificent to behold in the flesh and it was wonderful to see him win a well-deserved Gr3 Politician Stakes. The Paddock Stakes was simply unbelievable – what a field, what a filly, what a finish! And one needs a book of superlatives for the main event itself. While it’s unfortunate that only one can win, it was another vintage assembly and the privilege of watching horses and riders like that is the reason we go racing. It is a day of champions in all senses of the word and at the risk of repeating myself, it was a privilege to be on course to see Legal Eagle defend his title and win a

second consecutive Queen’s Plate. Quite, quite remarkable and congratulations to all the connections. It was also special to have Princess Eugenie on hand to present the trophies – again, a lovely touch - but as always, Queen’s Plate day was full of them.

The privilege of watching horses and riders like that is the reason we go racing It’s always fun to try and spot what’s new year on year and I have to hand it to the team who did an amazing job of dressing the stage and doing a quick wardrobe change between prize givings, which made it all rather fun and interesting. There were lots of Bedouin tents placed around the course allowing for respite from the sun and wind, but they were thoughtfully placed back from the rail so that those who wished to socialise could do so, while enjoying a view of the goings on, allowing the rail gloriously free for fans to get close to the horses. The LQP lettering was a huge hit in the garden party space and must be the most photographed installation in Cape Town. The carousel in the picnic area served much the same purpose and there were selfies aplenty – not only a fun and aesthetic touch, but also a very clever marketing and social media win. The sponsors were enormously generous with their best dressed prizes and those of a sartorial nature went all out. The cashless Howler initiative seemed to work well and given South Africa’s unfortunate problem with petty crime with events like this, was a resourceful way of trying to address this problem.

I did take a walk through the public spaces and there were plenty of celebs (not that I’m all that good at playing who’s who) and beautiful people, also beautiful food served by a host of tirelessly smiling staff. Perhaps the only niggle was the Southeaster, which did pick up through the afternoon, only finally exhausting itself on Sunday (typical!), but on the other hand, it did serve to keep things relatively cool. Either way, as always, the Queen’s Plate delivered. The friendliness of the lovely young ladies in the blue and white really sets the tone, but I have to compliment all the support staff who worked so hard on the day. Everyone was smiling and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Wherever you went, it felt as though people wanted you to have a good time. And perhaps the best compliment I can pay the organisers is that it certainly appeared that everyone did. There were breeders, owners and racing personalities aplenty and lots of people to wish well for the New Year and exchange hugs and news and gossip with. It is always such fun having everyone all in one place. In fact, it’s something one of our overseas visitors made a point of remarking on, saying how wonderful it was to see the camaraderie of our local racing folk. It is perhaps something I am in danger of taking for granted from time to time, but I couldn’t agree more. Despite the ups and downs and undoubted pressures of the mad and wonderful industry we choose to make our own, it is a real credit that we still find time to be kind to one another. A sincere thank you to Gaynor and the many hardworking hands behind the scenes for another memorable Queen’s Plate.

SHORT HEADS

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 13th - SUNDAY 15th JANUARY 2017 K

Blackout Bob’s Baby Blues Sound familiar? Punters visiting Coral, Ladbrokes and Betfred shops on Monday were not able to enjoy any live racing from Britain as the dispute over media rights between the bookmakers and The Racing Partnership rumbles on. TRP, which comprises all 15 Arena Racing Company tracks as well as seven independent racecourses, is yet to reach an agreement with Ladbrokes-Coral plc or Betfred over a deal that would allow racing from the courses in question to be broadcast in their shops.

Four For Forbes

The world’s highest rated horse, Arrogate (Unbridled’s SongBubbler, by Distorted Humor), continued his preparation for the Pegasus World Cup with an easy 3 length win over workmate Uninvited in a 1200m gallop at Santa Anita Park on Sunday under the educated eye of trainer Bob Baﬀert. Arrogate and California Chrome are likely to clash in the inaugural running of the US$12 million Gr1 Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream Park on 28 January.

We keep suggesting he is underrated. But other than the fact that he doesn’t travel to other provinces, he can ride with the best of them. Jockey Alec Forbes’ four winners at the rescheduled Greyville polytrack meeting on Monday were out of the top drawer.

Yogas’ Double Roy Former Sabine Plattner private trainer Yogas Govender celebrated the ﬁrst double of his solo career when Roy’s Stormer and Roy’s Roll’s Royce won the third and fourth respectively at Greyville on Monday. Roy’s Stormer was also a ﬁrst winner as a professional jockey for Tristan Godden.

Grassed oﬀ? Joey Ramsden’s post-race chirp on Friday on the lines of ‘some of us don’t get the grass at Kenilworth’ passed unnoticed by most. With Durbanville being upgraded and out of action, we wonder whether he is hinting at favouritism when it comes to the Kenilworth grass gallops?

CONNECTED...

He certainly isn’t! Jockey Eldin Webber was ﬁned R1500 in terms of rule 56.2.4 for having a communication device in his possession in the jockey room at Fairview on 23 December. Apparently it wasn’t a loudhailer.

Valued Veterans

They go forever! After an 8yo feature winner in New Zealand a fortnight back, Avontuur stallion Oratorio has another golden oldie in the news. The Peter Gelagotis trained Gr1 winning 9yo Mourinho makes a comeback from injury in the Gr2 Australia Stakes over 1200m at Moonee Valley on 27 January. It’s a race he won fresh in 2015! Mourinho also won the Gr2 P B Lawrence Stakes ﬁrst up that year. Oratorio has ten yearlings on the Cape Premier Yearling Sale next weekend.

Horses with Gr1 wins to their credit in the past 12 months have been allotted 60kg in the Gr1 R5-million Sun Met weights. None of the four – Legal Eagle, Mac De Lago, Master Sabina and The Conglomerate – are Cape based and two of them were bred in Australia. The Met is run over 2000m at Kenilworth on Saturday 28 January.

Whip Synching?

3yo’s have been entered in the Sun Met and are set to carry 52 kgs. Gold Standard (Trippi) and Bold Rex (Bold Silvano) are locally bred, while the balance of Heavenly Blue, Zodiac Ruler and Al Fahad were bred in Australia.

The d-day in this month of January when the ﬁnal ﬁeld for the Sun Met will be declared. It’s a busy time as the public gallops and barrier draw for the big one will be held on Thursday 19th at 07h00. Then we have the Cape Premier Yearling Sale over the weekend of 21 and 22 January.

The apparent disparity in fines dished out for various whip offences is interesting. At the Vaal on 22 December, S’manga Khumalo was whacked R3000 for a transgression of rule 58.10.2 in that he used his crop with excessive frequency whilst riding My Cherry. At Turffontein on 17 December, Muzi Yeni was fined R1000 in terms of the same rule for striking Light House Lady unnecessarily when out of contention for a place. At Kenilworth on 20 December, Corne Orffer was fined R750 under the same general rule, in that he struck Al Danza more than three times on consecutive strides shortly before the finish.

Pippa Mickleburgh

Make It A Double Avontuur are the breeders responsible for producing last season’s Gr1 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate winner, Champion Miler, Champion Older Horse and Horse of the Year, Legal Eagle. Last Saturday, he added a second Gr1 Queen’s Plate on the trot to his trophy cabinet. As the most coveted trophy in South Africa and a huge feather in his breeder’s cap, we caught up with Avontuur GM Pippa Mickeburgh to see how she’s feeling.

“I can’t complain,” she grins. “We’ve had a wonderful start to the year. Tevez won the Listed Southeaster Sprint, Rivarine won the Gr3 Lebelo Sprint, last Friday Live Life won the Gr2 Cartier Sceptre Stakes and then on Saturday Legal Eagle wins a second Gr1 Queen’s Plate. Var’s had 3 individual juvenile winners already this season, which puts him at the top of the log - I know Captain Al will probably catch us, but we’re there for now! Oratorio has had his first juvenile winner which is pretty exciting. His job is to produce Derby, Met and July winners; horses that train on and go 2000m plus and stay sound till 7 and 8, so it’s great that he’s got a juvenile showing some toe.”

The Met and the July are big days, but you judge excellence on the Guineas, the Derby and the Queen’s Plate “The Queen’s Plate is a race I always wanted to win. As a purist you grow up knowing that the Met and the July are big days, but you judge excellence on the Guineas, the Derby and the Queen’s Plate. I thought Var would battle and after Variety Club won the Langerman I went up to Joey and said ‘please win the Queen’s Plate for me’ and he did. For Variety Club to do that was a heck of a thing. And now we’ve produced a horse that wins it twice in a row – how lucky can one get?”

Young Sensation Asked to tell the story behind Legal Eagle, Pippa says there isn’t really one. “We bought the mare out of Sean Tarry’s yard. She won two for us and then retired to the farm. She wasn’t a big mare and tended to throw foals that looked like her, so it was difficult to get good sales yearlings out of her. Her first two foals by Var were very average. They still fetched around R400k, but while that’s nothing to be sneezed at, it’s average by the farm’s standards.”

“She’s got a strong female line, but in terms of producing ‘wow’ physical specimens it just wasn’t happening. And it wasn’t her fault – she was going where I was sending her, so I had to do something different.” “At the end of the day I’m a stockman – I know my mares, foals and stallions and I know my stock. When you see that mare 365 days a year, particularly when I’ve often made her myself, you know what they need.” “She’s obviously quite a dominant mare and kept throwing these very refined foals and we needed to add a bit of coarseness. I plan my matings first physically, then on temperament, I check the genetics on the computer programmes and then we look at the commercial aspect. I had a strong feeling that Greys Inn was what she needed to ignite the female line that had gone quiet and I believe if you see mating you really want to do, must do it.” “I get a feeling with matings in the same way I get a feeling with mares I want to buy. You’ve got to have the courage of your convictions. I’ve just done another to Greys Inn now, so we’ll see how that turns out.” “We have shares in Greys Inn and it looked a wonderful mating to me and when I put it onto the mating programme the computer went mad. It’s a bloody long drive to get to Greys Inn. You’ve got to go all the way there, the road is awful and then turn around and come all the way back again. You won’t just do it unless you really believe in it. One

jump and she was in foal, but again she produced another mini her.”

Legal Eagle “People ask me ‘why does he run?’ It was a wonderful mating, but all I can do is raise a horse to the best of my ability and on what I’ve got in terms of the soil and the pasture, which at Avontuur I think I have the best – even now with this drought we’ve still got pasture. I do the best mating I can and give them the best care and after that it’s out of my hands. Everything just aligned for him.”

I had a strong feeling that Greys Inn was what she needed “I didn’t expect fireworks, but when a trainer like that buys your horse, you know they’ve got a chance. I think Sean bought him on spec after having trained the mare. And then he was bought by Jooste and that was another box ticked, because you know they’re going to get the best of everything. It’s a great training feat by Sean and Markus is a great supporter of the farm and puts a lot into the industry and it’s great that he’s got another champion.”

Any more in the pipeline? Unfortunately Avontuur no longer own Young Sensation. Pippa says, “They say you shouldn’t sell your mares, but my job is to produce a high percentage of feature stakes winners. When you’re constantly buying in top mares every year and your

farm can only sustain so many horses, you have to sell at the bottom end to maintain the numbers. It’s hard to balance sales success with racing success, but look at River Jetez – Rivarine has just won the Lebelo Sprint. When the first foal produces black type, you know it can only get better from there.” “My main objective is to produce a racehorse, but they have to sell and for me and with that mare, it was not easy to produce good sales yearlings. Perhaps it was unfair of me to expect her to produce anything else, but I did. We did sell Legal Eagle for R425k, which made him one of the most expensive Greys Inns at the time, but I had to work bloody hard to get it, so I felt she’d had her chance with me and I don’t regret selling her. My job was done.” “We sold Young Sensation to Paolo Do Carmo and she was in foal to Philanthropist at the time. I foaled her down for him and she produced a filly, which I believe has been sold to Susan Kalmanson. She was bred to Pomodoro the following season and I’m not sure what she’s got coming next. Paulo is a great supporter of the farm and I wish him well with her.”

CPYS If you’re looking for your next Avontuur champion, Pippa is taking a 9-strong draft to the 2017 Cape Premier Yearling Sale on 21 & 22 January, including a Master Of My Fate, two Oratorios and 6 Vars. Asked for her picks, P i p p a s a y s , “We’re starting off with Lot 1, which is a really attractive, pretty filly by Var called Little Sparrow out of Bambina Stripes. Her first foal was by Oratorio, which we’ve kept for the farm to maintain the bloodline, so this is the first foal available for public auction and she’s a nice filly

and will have good paddock value. It’s always difficult to go first, but hopefully we start the sale with a bang! Lot 210 is an impressive, big strong Var colt. He’s a first foal out of Torra Bay, who is by Cape Cross, the broodmare sire of Ouija Board, so that’s a lovely pedigree. Lot 24 is a lovely big, strong Master Of My Fate filly and we’ve got an Oratorio filly (lot 218) and colt (lot 224), who are both nice horses too. You’ll have to come and have a glass of wine with us and have a look!”

Ambassadors Avontuur lead the way in sponsoring our jockeys and have Greg Cheyne, MJ Byleveld and got rather a scoop in securing both Callan Murray and Lyle Hewitson for the Avontuur brand. Pippa says, “Greg and MJ are absolute stalwarts. They work while I’m picking grapes, delivering foals, etc and do a fantastic job. It took a bit of doing to get Callan and Lyle, but they’re both doing very well too. They’re great on social media and are both terrific young guys. All four work really well together, they get on well and help motivate one another.”

When the first foal produces black type, you know it can only get better from there Of course, the jockeys aren’t the only ones keeping the Avontuur brand in the spotlight - a certain flashy chestnut filly has become something of a celebrity in her own right. South Africa’s first Frankel out of Avontuur flyer Val De Ra, Miss Frankel, has joined Dennis Drier’s string in Cape Town for the season. She’s also joined by her older sister, Dream De Ra, by Oasis Dream. Pippa says, “Miss Frankel is doing very well. She’s a really laid back character and had her first gallop at Kenilworth recently. They had all the Queen’s Plate tents up and everything and she just took it all in her stride, I was really chuffed. Dream De Ra is quite a different horse and is very much like Oasis Dream, speed speed speed. Unfortunately she got a minor self-inflicted injury – she freshed in work and managed to stand on her coronary band, so had a bit of an interrupted prep, but all being well, we can look forward to seeing them both debut towards the end of January or early February.”

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 13th - SUNDAY 15th JANUARY 2017

In Search Of An Outcross

Saturday’s Gr1 races at Kenilworth provided further evidence, if any was needed, of the dominance of Northern Dancer, writes Sarah Whitelaw.

oth Legal Eagle (L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate) and Bela-Bela (Maine Chance Farms Paddock Stakes) are inbred to that diminutive, but mighty, Canadian champion, and it is getting increasingly difficult to find a top class stallion without at least one line of Northern Dancer in his pedigree. A few years ago, the world had a number of top class sires free of Northern Dancer in their pedigrees, with the likes of Street Cry (Machiavellian), Unbridled’s Song (Unbridled), Monsun (Konigsstuhl), Dynaformer (Roberto), and Dalakhani (Darshaan) all Northern Dancer free. However, with Dalakhani now retired from stud duties and the others mentioned above all deceased, the list of “outcross” sires to Northern Dancer mares has grown increasingly small. Every single one of the top ten sires (by stakes) in Britain for 2016 has at least one line of Northern Dancer in his pedigree, with several sporting two or more. With sires such as Tapit (Pulpit) and Dubawi (Dubai Millennium) both carrying multiple

lines of Northern Dancer (Tapit is inbred to Northern Dancer’s Triple Crown winning son, Nijinsky II) –despite not being direct male line descendants of the legend- the problem of finding such an outcross intensifies. There are a large number of outstanding sires inbred to Northern Dancer and or his sons, Tapit and Dubawi included. This number includes Dansili (Danehill), Oasis Dream (Green Desert), Redoute’s Choice (Danehill) and the late, great Scat Daddy (Johannesburg). Other top class sires inbred to Northern Dancer include Tavistock (Montjeu), Rock Of Gibraltar (Danehill), Exceed And Excel (Danehill) and Fastnet Rock (Danehill). Clearly this list will continue to grow yet further. Red hot US sire, Uncle Mo (Indian Charlie), has no fewer than three lines of Northern Dancer, despite not hailing from this dominant male line. With Frankel (another inbred to Northern Dancer) having made such an impressive start to his stud career, one can but wonder quite how many major sires free of ND blood will be found in the years to come.

New Stallion Off The Mark - CRUSADE

A Winning Crusade Scott Bro’s Mr Greeley stallion Crusade produced an impressive winner with only his seventh first crop runner when the Bruce Le Roux-bred Miss Millionaire scooted home on debut at Greyville on Monday.

he 2016 KZN Sibaya Yearling Sale R70 000 graduate, a racy sort, showed maturity when holding off fellow debutante Minnie The Moocher to win the 1000m Maiden Juvenile Plate on the Greyville polytrack. The winner, trained by Belinda Impey, was one of four successes on the day for jockey Alec Forbes, and scored by 1,25 lengths in a time of 60,96 secs. Miss Millionaire is out of the six-time winning Only A Pound mare Really Rich. Crusade was a top-class racehorse, and among the leaders of his generation at two. His victories included a win in the Gr1 Middle Park Stakes – Europe’s top 2yo race,

won previously by outstanding sires such as Bayardo, Tetratema, Djebel, Khaled, Sharpen Up, Diesis, Oasis Dream and Dutch Art. He is a son of top sprinter and world leading sire, the ill-fated Mr Greeley, who left behind more than 60 stakes winners. Crusade is out of the top-class Johannesburg racemare La Traviata – winner of the Gr3 Victory Ride Stakes, and only defeated once in 4 starts – that when starting favourite in the Breeders’ Cup F&M Sprint. This is the same family as Sun Teddy – the male line ancestor of outstanding US sire Damascus. Crusade stood for a 2016 fee of R20 000 at Scott Bros.

It is interesting to note that while the male line influence of Lyphard (one of Northern Dancer’s top sire sons) has all but died out, his name can be found in a number of the world’s premier sires, with Dubawi (Dubai Millennium), Candy Ride (Ride The Rails), Oasis Dream (Green Desert) and Deep Impact (Sunday Silence) being prime examples.

was represented by five graded stakes winners last year (including Gr1 winner, Weep No More) and is also broodmare sire of 2016 Gr1 Kentucky Oaks winner, Cathryn Sophia (Street Boss). Remarkably, Cathryn Sophia is one of the few major winners of last year whose pedigree is devoid of Northern Dancer.

Even sires like More Than Ready (Southern Halo) and Le Havre (Noverre) have at least one line of Northern Dancer.

Street Cry – Blushing Ogygian

Here are a few of the sires, recently represented by at least one major winner, who are free of Northern Dancer:

Mineshaft

A P Indy –Prospector’s Delite An impeccably bred horse (whose 1st dam was named US Broodmare Of The Year and whose second dam was outstanding producer, Up The Flagpole), Mineshaft was an outstanding racehorse and North American Horse Of The Year in 2003. Remarkably, he is by a Horse Of The Year (A P Indy), by another, (Seattle Slew). He has since then quietly gone about compiling a highly respectable career at stud (albeit receiving top class books of broodmares) and ranks as one of AP Indy’s better sire sons. Mineshaft, whose sons include 2016 US Leading First Crop Sire, Dialed In,

Street Boss

Another Northern Dancer free sire to have enjoyed notable success of late is dual Gr1 winner, Street Boss. The latter ended 2016 on a real high when his daughter, Decked Out, captured the Gr1 American Oaks. Decked Out was the second 2016 Oaks winner for her sire, whose Cathryn Sophia captured the Kentucky Oaks. While Street Boss is unlikely to reach the heights achieved by his outstanding sire, Street Cry, he has already nearly 30 stakes winners to his credits, including top Australian sprinter, The Quarterback, and US Gr1 winners, Danza (Arkansas Derby) and Capo Bastone (King’s Bishop Stakes).

Tagula

Taufan – Twin Island The former Prix Morny winner will never be an outstanding sire, but, in Canford Cliffs and 2016 Gr1 Darley July Cup winner, Limato, he did throw two outstanding racehorses.

Canford Cliffs, who won five Gr1 races in a row, is also now enjoying success at stud, with his first Northern Hemisphere crop having produced a total of five stakes winners as well as Gr1 Investec Oaks third, Harlequeen. Gelded Limato, a horse with a truly electric turn of foot, also won the Gr1 Prix de La Foret and has already banked just under £1 000 000 in stakes. Interestingly, Tagula is not only a total outcross for Northern Dancer but also for Mr Prospector –not a combination often found these days!

Mizzen Mast Cozzene -Kinema

Juddmonte Farms stand the consistently successful sire, Mizzen Mast (whose relatives include former leading SA sire and broodmare sire, Dancing Champ, as well as US superstar Zenyatta). The sire of a pair of Breeders’ Cup winners (Flotilla and Mizdirection), Mizzen Mast is arguably the best sire son left behind by former US champion sire, Cozzene (Caro). His 40 odd stakes winners include such Gr1 winners as Ultimate Eagle, Midships and Hollywood Gold Cup hero Mast Track. His prominent winners last year included Hong Kong Gr1 winner, Giant Treasure and graded winners, Mizz Money and One Mean Man.
