SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 17th - SUNDAY 19th FEBRUARY 2017 The Geoff Woodruff trained Zante could open her Gauteng account on Saturday

The national racing programme cupboard looks a little bit bare this weekend, with two non black-type features topping the bill. The R135 000 Allez France Stakes at Turffontein on Saturday honours one of the great racehorses of the 20th century – but there are no real standouts in a competitive contest.

ALLEZ FRANCE STAKES at Turffontein this Saturday

T

he Ideal World mare Zante was formerly trained by Neil Bruss and the 2016 Queen Palm Stakes winner looks ready to open her Gauteng account at her third outing for Geoff Woodruff.

Topping the SP ratings, she gets the services of Piere Strydom and looks quite nicely in if running to her best form.

Zante stays well and had excuses last time when hampered and running 4,50 lengths behind Banking April – who added value to the form strength when following up at her next start.

Ideal World The very consistent Patchit Up Baby - like Zante, a daughter of Ideal World – shares joint top weight honours and this consistent galloper looks ready to register her fourth career win.

She was runner-up in this race last year when having only her second outing on transfer from the Duncan Howells yard.

Her and Zante bumped heads at

her penultimate start where she had 6kgs in hand and beat the Woodruf runner by six lengths.

That makes for an interesting tactical rematch here.

Burning Bright Patchit Up Baby’s’ stablemate Tiger Flame gets the 1,5kgs claim of apprentice Calvin Habib and is another mare who stays well.

This versatile galloper – she has won from 1200m to 2000m - finished 1,60 lengths ahead of the hampered Zante last time and meets her opponent on 1,5kgs worse terms The 2016 Listed Oaks Trial winner Inaninstant came good at this time last year when registering a hat-trick of wins – including beating her highly vaunted stablemate Trophy Wife.

The daughter of Silvano has run two low-key races, with a breathing noise reported at her last start. She must be included on her best form.

Very Fit The Bankable filly Parisienne Chic goes for a hat-trick of wins and comes in fit having had seven

starts since 1 December. She ran a great prep when hanging on well to beat Rose Water last Saturday, and if all the racing does not catch up with her with arduous stamina test on Saturday, she can be included in quartets.

Geoff Woodruff’s Silver Stripe is a course and distance winner and looks capable of improving.

She impressed when trying serious ground at her penultimate start and beating Bondiblu going away.

Dropped 400m in trip, she failed to confirm that next time when fancied and only managing a midfield finish.

Pacemaker Heather Adamson’s 6yo Tobesuretobesure looks a likely pacesetter and always tries her heart out.

The four-time winner has not really sparked at her last three runs and will need to put her mind to the task at hand to have any chance of threatening quartet money.

Maine Chance Farm’s Galileo filly Cidada came to hand early, winning at her fourth start – and last time making it 2 from 3 when slamming

Wind Chill by 1,25 lengths.

Cidada tries the 2200m for the first time but looks to relish the extra and could well be much better than currently rated.

The Horse Chestnut filly Seal My Fate comes in with a handy 51,5kgs and has proven nicely consistent at her last three starts.

While yet to prove that she actually stays the 2200m, she has shown no signs of stopping, coupled with plenty of pace at her starts around 2000m.

Her and Cidada have met twice recently and the Laird runner turned the tables by 2,40 lengths – although Seal My Fate is 3,5kgs better off here.

Very Close It looks a keen duel between the proven and the up-andcoming 4yo group.

Zante and Patchit Up Baby have been around the block a few times and will be involved in the finish. Inaninstant has shown she can turn it on, while the unexposed Cidada and Silver Stripe could step up to the plate.

CHARITY

Horses For Causes Raises R730k Generosity of W-Cape breeders made for an impressive stallion auction catalogue at the Horses for Causes charity raceday at Kenilworth.

Many hands were raised in bids for services to all of Oratorio, Duke Of Marmalade, Ideal World, Coup de Grace, Pathfork, Vercingetorix, Elusive Fort, Twice Over, What a Winter, Pomodoro, Go Deputy and Captain of All. Donors of the stallion services included Pippa Mickleburgh, Gaynor Rupert, Jessica Slack, Dr Andreas Jacobs, Peter De Beyer, Bryn Ressell, Chris Van Niekerk, John Freeman, Pieter Graaff, and John Koster.

World Sports Betting contributed generously by taking up the naming rights to one of the races, and donating half the proceeds of a series of bets placed throughout the afternoon to Horses for Causes.

The provisional financial results indicate that some R730.000 was raised.

Horses for Causes project member André Oosthuizen expressed overwhelming appreciation. “Support for the event has increased tremendously”, he said. “This event is now on the map as Western Cape racing’s most significant

Ruffel S. Gr3 Tony 11 February Turffontein, iner for tra Mike de Kock

Saturday’s non black-type Turffontein feature is named in honour of 1974 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Allez France, the last great runner bred by the BieberJacobs Stable.

Foaled in Kentucky and purchased for US$160,000 as a yearling by French art dealer Daniel Wildenstein she was sent to France and won five championship titles in her adoptive country.

Allez France was a daughter of the great Sea-Bird, considered by many the greatest European horse of the modern era. Sea-Bird was a handsome, elegant liver chestnut who exuded class, and his sheer brilliance was unmatched.

Considered the best French based racemare of all time,Allez France hailed from the female family of the great matron La Troienne. Her dam, Priceless Gem, had the distinction of defeating the great Buckpasser in the 1965 Futurity Stakes.

Allez France was trained by Albert Klimscha at 2 and 3 and was then transferred to Angel Penna, Sr. The champion met the great Dahlia six times and beat her home six times. All their encounters took place in France, where Dahlia was admittedly at a disadvantage because of her preference for firmer going.

From 21 starts Allez France registered 13 wins, 3 seconds, 1 third and earned US$1,386,146 .

She raced to a peak Timeform rating of 136.

Allez France ran in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe three times, starting favourite every time. She won the big one in 1974, the same year she was crowned France’s Horse Of The Year.

She was less of a success in the breeding paddocks, producing one stakes winner – Action Francaise, winner of the Gr3 Prix Sandringham.

She had only four foals race – who won a total of three races. One of her colts, Air de France, sired 10 stakes winners, including a pair of Gr1 winners in Australia.

Allez France died in 1989 at age 19. She was born the same year as Secretariat and died the same year as Secretariat.

She is buried in the Champions’ Cemetery at the Kentucky Horse Park.

JP van der Merwe gets the best out of Anna Pavlova to beat Visuality (S’manga Khumalo) and Last Chirp (Andrew Fortune) in a grandstand finish

T

The R250 000 Gr3 Three Troikas Stakes has something of an allsorts history of producing unfriendly results.

Saturday’s renewal continued the trend but trainer Roy Magner and jockey JP van der Merwe were popping the champagne corks after Anna Pavlova produced a careerbest performance in a thriller.

he final leg of the Turffontein Saturday feature trio showcased a cliffhanger of a finish, with the result in doubt until the final stride.

And it was that man JP van der Merwe who demonstrated his mercurial brilliance again, driving hard after looking beaten, to get Anna Pavlova up to win by a nose.

This was a top drawer gutsy performance by the fast improving Anna Pavlova,who registered her hat-trick of wins at her first stakes victory.

And after S’manga Khumalo had burst clear at the 300m on Visuality, it is difficult to fathom how Van Der Merwe got himself out of an impossible position – and somehow still conjured up a win.

With nowhere to go Anna Pavlova went for a run down the inside of Visuality at the 200m and was forced to break her stride and switch out – then pick it up – and give chase again!

In an extraordinarily sustained finishing effort, JP threw the kitchen sink at his mount who gave her all to win in impressive style.

The photograph showed that Anna Pavlova had won by a short head in a time of 90,20 secs. A breathtaking effort from a well nigh hopeless position.

Visuality looked all over a winner late and ran a smartly improved race to show that her

best 2yo form was no flash in the pan.

Last Chirp was in front for a long way and hung on gamely to bank the third cheque, only 0,90 lengths back.

Pool Party loomed dangerously late to round off the R24867 quartet.

The favourite Maleficent had nothing to come when it counted – she fell away to finish well downfield.

The Summerhill Stud-bred

Anna Pavlova is a daughter of Gr1 producing Nureyev stallion St Petersburg out of the unraced Royal Applause mare, Shatrang – who is out of a full –sister to illfated KZN champion sire, Kahal.

Anna Pavlova has won 4 races with 5 places from 10 starts for stakes of R395 150.

The winner looks to have plenty of scope and will be an interesting factor in the Gauteng Fillies Guineas where she will try the mile for the first time.

Too Hot For The Boys!

Y

Avontuur-sponsored Callan Murray has matured as a rider with the benefit of his recent Australian expedition and made no mistakes on the smart More Than Ready filly Ektifaa, who slammed her six male rivals to win the R250 000 Gr3 Tony Ruffel Stakes at Turffontein on Saturday.

oung Murray was no doubt still smarting from his ‘humbling’ by his senior Gavin Lerena a half hour earlier in the Listed Wolf Power 1600 and, noticeably fired up, he was making no mistakes as he rode an aggressive race to hit the front early on the obviously well above-average Australian-bred filly.

The Tony Ruffel Stakes is a Gauteng Guineas prep and Mike de Kock obviously knew what he had when he threw the daughter of More Than Ready into the deep end with the boys.

Lerena’s Royal Rush

Listed Wolf Power 1600 Turffontein last Saturday A poker game over the final 400m of the R150 000 Listed Wolf Power 1600 fell the way of the astute Gavin Lerena who got Irish Pride home for a well deserved first stakes success.

T

he beautifully bred Rafeef went off favourite in the eight horse field and when the magnificent son of Redoute’s Choice cruised to the front down the inside at the 400m marker it really looked a case of how far.

But Gavin Lerena was having none of the laying down and playing dead stuff on Irish Pride, who had moved up smartly past leaders Fareeq and Stonehenge 50m earlier.

With Callan Murray’s body language on the freerunning Rafeef screaming “bank the cheque” as he went a length clear, Lerena changed his whip to the right hand to maintain a civil gap and got Irish Pride balanced and lifting.

We were left guessing as to who was bluffing who,

r 1600 (L) Wolf Powe, 11 February Turffontein for trainer Mike de Kock

but into the 300m another subtle lightning fast change of crop hands had Irish Pride cutting back the lead and the consistent son of Ideal World won going away by 0,80 lengths in a time of 97,43 secs.

The winner races in the interests of the Wernars family and is trained by Johan Janse van Vuuren.

A polished performance by the winning horse-andrider but Rafeef is no slouch and he went down with his reputation intact.

Romany Prince had every chance a further 1,30 lengths away in third, with the long-time pacesetter Fareeq hanging on gamely for fourth.

If there was a disappointment in the small field, it was Pierre Jourdan’s half-brother Champagne Haze who never got into it under top weight, and fell right away to 5,90 lengths behind.

The Mauritzfontein Stud-bred Irish Pride is a 4yo gelded son of Ideal World out of the twice winning Fort Wood mare, Celtic Cross.

He was signed for at R260 000 by Triple 8 Clothing at the 2014 KZN Suncoast Yearling Sale.

Irish Pride has won 6 races with 6 places from 17 starts and stakes of R847 150.

He should pay to follow in the season.

With Matador Man and Doosra possibly needing a sharpener in advance of the Guineas next month, De Kock’s plan worked perfectly – and Ektifaa showed she is loaded with ability.

Riding a similar race to what he had for the stable in the Wolf Power, Murray pounced quite early in the home straight and went for broke as Ektifaa swept forward, with Matador Man taking his time to catch his top stride.

Ektifaa never looked like being caught though and with Murray saluting the stands in triumph, she went on well to hold Matador Man by 0,60 lengths in a time of 88,46 secs.

The 5-2 Listed Secretariat Stakes winner Matador Man is no slouch and tried his heart out – but was comprehensively walloped in receipt of 1,5kgs by the winner.

The topweight Doosra was given every chance but never quickened finishing a further 2,90 lengths back in third. He will come on from this effort and should not be discarded.

Chili Con Carne was under pressure a long way from home and ran a weak fourth.

Avontuur sponsored Callan Murray – got some sweet compensation Ektifaa has now won four on the trot since shedding her maiden at her fourth jump.

She showed no signs of ring rustiness after a 15 week break following her outstanding awayfrom-home effort to win the Gr3 Choice Carriers Championship early in the Cape summer.

Ektifaa is by More Than Ready and the first foal of Stellar Vinia (Varick), bred by John Camilleri’s Fairway Thoroughbreds.

While the Gauteng Guineas will no doubt be her next target, there must be some doubts about her staying further.

She is a half-sister to champion NZ sprinter and miler Calveen.

She was purchased for $600 000 by Shadwell Australia at the 2015 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale in the draft of Segenhoe Stud.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 17th - SUNDAY 19th FEBRUARY 2017

T

he statement is a curious one. Firstly, the RA is a non profit organisation, which means that while it is permitted to use its resources to further RA causes, it is not, in fact, permitted to use its resources to enrich its members.

In other words, there would be something seriously awry if stakes were coming from RA coffers and some pointed questions would need to be asked.

However, with apologies to Mr Wainstein, I suspect he hasn’t understood the arrangement correctly because a cursory perusal of RA Annual Report accounts will attest that this is, in fact, not the case.

Secondly, the entities that do in fact ‘foot the stakes bill’ are the Operator and the Thoroughbred Horseracing Trust. The ‘stakes pot’ is fixed and allocated on an annual basis. Sponsors do not ‘put back into the game’, they contribute to the Operators bottom line and the Operator ‘puts on the show’.

How does it work?

7

Where Does It Come From, Where Does It Go? However, the Trust does not have any time to administer themselves and all admin is handled by the Racing Association (anyone else need a little sit down after all this mental gymnastics yet?). Right, the Racing Trust receives dividends from its Phumelela shares which it apparently spreads around ‘worthy’ causes, one of which, I was rather horrified to find, includes funding rural racing, according to a report in Groundup late last year. But nevermind all that for now. One of their functions is to contribute some funds towards Stakes. And here the RA also helps out and takes care of the pesky admin for them.

The public document that isn’t

There is a little bit (or more likely quite a lot) of paper that governs this process and it is called the Stakes Agreement. Ah yes, that again.

This fabled document is supposedly publicly available (see latest RA Annual Report), but is about as elusive as Big Foot and perhaps there ought to be a prize for anyone who can locate and send in a copy. So Phumelela and an organisation that no-one knows anything about sort out stakes via a public document that no-one has ever seen. Clear as mud. But at least we do know that the monies do not come from the RA. Whew.

Trying to unravel who does what in terms of deciding stakes is a tricky business made trickier because noone seems keen to discuss it. A brief overview – to the best of my understanding anyway – is It does beg the that the Racing Trust owns As the Racing 35.25% (last time I checked question why the Association seem anyway) of Phumelela shares. RA requires so rather involved The board of directors of the much funding? in administering Racing Trust is made up of a the process, it’s total of 7 individuals from the RA probably worth taking a look at them Board and – somewhat bizarrely too. According to the latest Annual SASCOC. Report, the RA board consists of Chairman William Nsele (I do hope People better qualified than he’s finally got his computer troubles myself have published material on sorted out as it really is murder SASCOC, so I will not attempt to trying to communicate with him), wade into that just here, save to say Michael Leaf, W.G.C. ‘Cliffie’ Miller that it seems odd to have SASCOC (Free Sate / Northern Cape), M.K. on our Racing Trust board when Naidoo, Grant Paddock (Eastern racing is not an Olympic sport and Cape), Rob Scott (Phumelela is not affiliated to SASCOC in any / Tellytrack), and CEO Larry way. But hey ho. The Racing Trust Wainstein.

Chairman Nsele is a rather nebulous organisation, describes the RA as “a members’ which was originally formed during association representing the the corporatisation process. They interests of racehorse owners,” were handed a hefty whack of but I was rather bemused to Phumelela shares and charged with read the RA’s current Mission safeguarding the interests of racing.

Statement – “To protect and Quite what form this safeguarding support the interests of the takes, no-one seems to know as nosport of horseracing in general one seems to talk about it. Or write and, in particular, the interests of it down. Or publish it anywhere. the owners by working through the Racing Association board While we might not know what of directors and management to they do, we do know who they are ensure that every aspect of the (hurrah!). The RA nominates five racing industry realizes its greatest representatives to the Racing Trust potential.”

Wow. EVERY board and the folk nominated to aspect of racing seems quite do the job as of 1 August 2016 are ambitious for an owners’ Johann du Plessis (Steinhoff director body (and I rather as well as a director of Klawervlei thought that was Stud), Mark Currie (Investec & what the Kenilworth Racing board member), Brian Finch, Chris Gerber (the Racing Trust’s non practicing PR department) and Louis du Preez.

Brian Finch was elected to the Chair with effect from 1 August 2016. The last two members of the Secret Seven are SASCOC’s Gideon Sam and Vinesh Maharaj, who have been on the board since the dawn of time.

In an article published on Tab News on 2 February 2017, RA CEO Larry Wainstein stated that the Racing Association governs all stake money paid to owners and it is them that foot the bill. In terms of the raised stakes for the Queen’s Plate and Met he said, “That money does not come from the sponsors. When a request was made to up the stakes on those races the guys came to me to see if we could afford it.”

NHA were for?). Mind you, that probably goes some way towards explaining the hefty operating expenses. Which is just as well as the RA is a non profit organisation, but is funded by membership fees and also by collecting nominations and acceptance fees. It does beg the question why the RA requires so much funding?

Racing for riches

Now that we have that straightened out, it is perhaps a good time to review the rather arbitrary hoiking of stakes, or perhaps the hoiking of stakes for arbitrary races is a better way of putting it – although it is not only a local phenomenon. The Yanks have recently done it with the Pegasus and now the Australians are following suit with The Everest.

While big money purses are good for making headlines, what exactly do they do for the stud book and the breed in general? At least in the case of the Pegasus, the organisers went to the time and trouble of having it recognised as a G1.

There has been no mention of any consultation with the international pattern committee or whether The Everest will be anything more than a high value publicity stunt. But it’s

one area, means that stakes elsewhere suffer and we effectively have to rob Peter to pay Paul.

To put that into context, in order to fund the additional stakes for the Queen’s Plate and Met this year, the Operator / Racing Trust had to reallocate R3 million. Which, when spread over two races seems a little, well, unbalanced. We had a similar discussion after the stakes hike for the Champions Challenge and Emperor’s Palace Charity Mile back early days and perhaps that will still in 2015. On the premise that it is “a come. However, I find it difficult to true-run race where the conditions support stupidly rich races like those favour the best horse. So it because frankly, I don’t see the point. deserves a big stake,” the Presidents Champions Challenge went from I have said this before, but I feel the R2 million to R4 million, eclipsing need to repeat it. I realise this may in the process all the other Gr1’s in the country at the time. B ecause “it come as a strange concept was time”, the Gr2 to some, but if your sole We should be (yes GR2!!) Emperors purpose for racing is the Palace Charity mile hope of earning stakes, striving for stud went up from R600k then you have things very book excellence, to R1million in a arse about face. The point not being held season that had proper of racing is to not to win money (although is is a hostage to prize Gr1 races still being contested for R600k. nice little contribution money.

And now we see non towards costs), the point of racing is to breed a better horse than black type restricted races where last year.

Wouldn’t that have been nice (and perhaps have provided encouragement for a greater number of people to stay in the game at grass roots level?)

The good of racing? You be the judge. But either way, wouldn’t it be nice to understand and have a say in how it works?

NHA Reshapes Its Future

T

As part of the ‘new look’ NHA under the stewardship of CEO Lyndon Barends, the National Horseracing Authority (by many still referred to as ‘the Jockey Club’) is taking determined steps to become open, transparent and user-friendly.

he PR offensive includes the implementation of a series of media breakfast to launch the NHA’s new strategic direction. This week, a briefing in Cape Town was led by Lyndon Barends and included Racing Control Executive Arnold Hyde and other members of the NHA’s Johannesburg and Cape Town offices. Although there was a small turnout from a media point of view, the energetic CEO said the numbers were less important than the effort to get the message across - and that message is that the NHA is changing.

In office since March 2016, Lyndon Barends has effected significant change, starting with the compilation of a business plan labelled ‘Vision 2020’. The plan outlines a process of transformation to bring the organisation to a state of peak performance. His first piority has been to effect a process of critical self-examination, and to ‘get our house in order’ to effect strategic change within the organisation.

The NHA’s Vision and Mission have been revisited and now read

“To create an environment in which the sport of Horse racing, the horses and the people can thrive” and “To regulate, govern, serve and promote the Sport of Horse racing in Southern Africa” respectively.

NHA Objectives have been refined to read “To regulate the sport of horse racing, to govern the sport with integrity and to serve the industry through excellent, efficient and effective administration of amongst others, the Stud Book, registrations, licensing, race day services and laboratory services”.

Core values are Service, Integrity, Responsiveness, Excellence and Dedication. New uniforms have been designed so that NHA staff will form a more recognisable and more easily identifiable presence on race days.

Barends said the challenge is to produce an organisation that is of service to the sport in a way which balances being a regulatory body with that of being a service provider.

He admitted that it was an on-going challenge to change some of the entrenched mindsets. Strides are being made, but Barends appealed for patience while the necessary

changes are taking effect.

In discussing some of the information contained in the annual report, there was a lively interest in analysing and evaluating statistical information, to see what can be learnt and applied, and also where and how the NHA could perform more consistently. Racing Control Executive Arnold Hyde discussed Racing Control and again, it was interesting to see how the numbers illustrated different or changing patterns and practices across the regions.

The appointment of the new NHA Chairman was touched on. Barends explained that Andy O’Connor, who had served as Chairman for 2 years, is turning 70 this year, and the Board opted to appoint Ken Truter.

Two additional board members, Messrs Sholto M. Dolamo and Panayiotis Stais, were also appointed.

There was lively discussion, particularly with regards to issues such as sectional timing, the handling of inquiries, medication rules and testing, as well as the manner and wording of press releases. It also offered a chance to meet face to face and put faces to names.

Overall, there is a sense of purpose and energy, and if the momentum can be maintained it bodes well for the future.

Muzi Bags Five Winners KIMBERLEY 1400 Flamingo Park last Monday

eather and logistical issues have made 2017 a largely forgettable year so far for Northern Cape racing but the dustbowl bounced back strongly on Monday with some genuine highlights.

These included six winners on the afternoon for trainer Coerie Lensley, five of which were ridden by reigning Northern Cape Champion jockey Muzi Yeni.

The Winning Form sponsored Yeni has a special touch on the tricky sand track and his ability to get horses with half chances into winning positions is a delight to watch.

The sixth Lensley winner was piloted by Jarryd Penny.

Trainer Stef Miller registered a hat-trick of winners, to make it a lean day for the rest of her colleagues – with visitor Corne Spies the only other man on the board.

He won the first when the Sail From Seattle filly Seattle Spring won on an impressive debut.

Stef Miller’s hat-trick included the R110 000 Kimberley 1400 feature with the smart Kahal gelding, Easy to back at 11-1 in an open betting race, Red Special found his best effort to draw away in the non black-type feature and beat Il Palio by 2 lengths in a time of 87,44 secs.

Recent Flamingo Sprint winner Western Force maintained his consistency to run into third.

The Summerhill Stud-bred Red Special is a R300 000 2014 Johannesburg Ready To Run Sale graduate and is by Kahal out of the Galileo mare Bohemian Rapsody.

Red Special started his career in Gauteng with Robbie Sage, where he managed 1 win.

He is very effective on the sand though and has won 7 races with 4 places from 22 starts and took his earnings to R325 775.

Patrick McGivern

Popular former Cape heavyweight rider, Paddy McGivern recently made a comeback in racing. Not in the saddle, but he was back in the parade ring nevertheless, although this time he’s been keeping his feet firmly on the ground as the owner of the Dean Kannemeyer-trained Prudence Prevails.

About Paddy Paddy was born and raised in Pinelands. His father came over from Ireland in 1948 and horses were in the blood. Paddy says ‘All Irish people ride.’ His father sold textiles and had sold some curtain material to Ivy Marsciano, who ran a local riding school and offered riding lessons in lieu of payment. “ We used to ride to the beach and gallop up and down. It was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday,” he reminisces.

Mr Marsciano used to transport horses and it was via him that Paddy met the likes of Reggie Knight and Rick Stewart. “The first jockey I met was Johnny Barker.” He started riding work and was hooked. When Paddy decided he wanted to pursue a career as a jockey, he discussed it with his father, expressing the reservation that a professional jockey was a tough career choice to which his father responded, “But you ride horses all day anyway!” The rest is history.

Apprenticeship Paddy remembers leaving for the Academy alongside Trevor Taylor.

“We must have been 14 or 15 years old and met at Cape Town station.

In those days you travelled by steam train and by the time we got there we were black with soot!” He joined the Mariannhill Academy alongside the likes of Vince Curtis, David Payne, Paddy Kruyer, Muis Roberts, Garth Puller, Kit Kensley, Michael Cave, Brian Deyes, Willem Ferreira, John Garcia and Gary Verne. His first three winners were for Hennie Coetzee, who he remembers as a ‘strict old man who always wore a bow tie’. His first boss, Heinie Schultz, passed away 6 months into his indentures, after which he transferred to Leslie Cawcutt.

“Things were a bit different then.

I was paid R10 per ride. Feature races were worth R2,500 and the Met stake was R30k!” He still rates

Johnny Cawcutt as the best jockey he’s ever seen.

Paddy explains, “I always liked to ride for a stable, that’s where I was happiest. You got to know whats going in the yard. If you were with a stable, then if they did well, you did well. I didn’t like to freelance and have to chase rides.

It’s difficult as a freelancer as you only get one chance to get it right, because in racing, the first person who gets blamed is the jockey, then the trainer – if they get that far!” he quips.

Paddy rode for the Peter Kannemeyer yard for a while, along with Garth Puller, before doing a stint in Mauritius in 1981.

He also rode for Mike Bass for a long time as well as for James Lightheart. “In fact, the last race I ever rode was for Mr Lightheart,” he remembers.

Asked to name some of the best horses he rode, he lists ‘PK’s wonderful filly, Mrs Noah.

“She was one of my favourites.

She came to Kannemeyer as a 1 time winner. She won the Southern Cross Stakes and was one of those horses that just did everything so easily. She was a sprinter, but had the class to win around the bend. Sadly she died at stud.” Another to get a mention is Termoli, who was the top priced filly at the National Sales and won the WP Nursery against the colts.

She was owned by Piere van der Merwe, who owned the wine farm in Robertson that was sold to Graham Beck and is now known as Madiba. Other horses included Fillies Guineas winner, Have A Ball and Sweet Chestnut. “I never won the Met or the July, though,” he shrugs.

Near Miss He did get close and smiles ruefully as he tells the story. “I’d ridden Queen’s Elect at his first ride back in the Christmas Handicap.

The horse had had trouble in his near fore, but Mr Cawcutt said Dr Faull had sorted it out and asked me to ride the horse in the Met. I thought I knew better and turned it down.” Queen’s Elect won easily with Dana Siegenberg in the saddle.

However, the ride he is perhaps most famous for is a 1200m

Progress race at Kenilworth on 3 March 1993. “I was riding a horse called Court Messenger.

He was a miler, so it was short of his best, but he was being prepped for a feature later in the season and the instructions were to win if he was good enough, but not to cut him in half to get there.

We jumped and got off to a good start and I left him alone in the early stages. At the 300m mark, he’d picked up the bridle and was travelling well. As we came off the false rail, I saw a lovely gap, We were going better than everything else around us, so I picked it up again to try and go through. As I did that Mark Khan, who was on one of the fancied runners, shifted in in front of Court Messenger. Normally you have to be a length or two clear before you move, otherwise it can cause an accident. He’s a good jockey, but in this instance he was hasty and just shifted without checking first.

Court Messenger clipped heels and went down. Usually when a horse clips heels, their legs fold under him, but Court Messenger fell on his knees and somehow got his footing back.

As he stumbled, I was shot forward, but then as he got up, his neck came up and I instinctively threw my arms around his neck and he kept galloping. I knew I had to fall off, but was trying to figure out how to do it without getting trampled as I was now hanging under his neck with my legs locked up around his wither.”

Another highlight includes a stolen ride on the mighty Sea Cottage. “Paddy Kruyer was Syd Laird apprentice at the time. The rest of us were all terribly envious, because Paddy got to ride Sea Cottage in work. One day, when it was quiet and the groom was leading him around, I jumped up on his back for a few minutes. It’s amazing, I hardly remember what I had for breakfast, but I still remember that like it was yesterday.”

He also rode in the 1974 Jockey Invitational with the likes of Lester Piggot and Yves St Martin at Scottsville.

The rest of the home side included Gerald Turner, Raymond Rhodes, Marty Schoeman and James Maree.

Style Asked whether he had any riding heroes or modelled his style on anyone, he says no – “there wasn’t much opportunity to watch other riders on TV in the early days. The style was different though, with jockeys riding with longer stirrups and shorter reins. At one stage the senior riders were very upset about this young jockey who rode with very short stirrups and long reins, letting his horses bowl along.

They were convinced it

was dangerous and that he’d end up causing an accident.” The young rider was Jeff Lloyd. “I guess he was on to something,” concedes Patrick.

Paddy was eventually forced to give up due to injury. He was riding a Phantom Earl horse one day for Mike Bass. The horse was a real handful, fly leaping and ending up heading for the running rail. “He tried to jump the rail, but didn’t make it.” Paddy went to hospital and had a number of injections, but a few days later he was back and they found a fracture. “I was out for three months. I came back and rode a bit, but my back went into spasm.” After struggling with it on and off, he eventually retired from race riding in 1995 to join the family plastics business.

Life after racing “While I was still riding, I invested in the family plastics business. It was just something I did at the time, but it turned out to be quite lucky.

When I stopped riding, I joined the company in the sales section. After being a jockey all my life, it probably took me 5 years to get used to the change. I often thought about packing up and getting a job in a stable, but I eventually got the hang of it.”

They sold the business and after staying on as a director for a few years, Paddy retired again in 2011. He is no longer married, but has 2 daughters.

He now spends his days playing golf, often joining his old boss, Mike Bass on the course.

Acrobatics “He then started angling towards the rail. I panicked and realised if he did run into the fence, I’d be the buffer, so I started to wriggle around and somehow managed to push myself back into the saddle. By the time we got to the post, I was back on and had my feet in the irons,” he says with some satisfaction.

“It was more a case of self preservation. I was pretty angry about it at the time – we were both going for the same gap, but my horse was improving and I was sure I was going to win.

Afterwards, all the guys

made an honourary ‘avenue’ for me to walk through – it was quite emotional.

The Cape Times likened the ride to something the Cossacks would have been proud of. It’s the only time I ever made the front page!” he says drily. “It’s amazing how much goes through your mind. I wasn’t scared – I was just trying to decide what to do next. Fortunately it all ended happily.”

Select Success

Australians have discovered the power of ‘Select’ at yearling sales, a mightily successful concept long abandoned by South African sale companies for reasons unknown. The thing is, it works!

Down Under an inaugural select session that exceeded all expectations has led to a remarkable start to the 2017 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale. Named the Gold Riband, it saw 57 horses offered in a frenzied two-hours of selling, averaging A$130k with a clearance rate of 88%. The top lot went for A$400k.

Not that the Australian approach could have worked in SA. The Gold Riband Sale consists of yearlings selected by sales company Inglis, for the express purpose of being competitive in the Australian elite 2yo races, which culminate in the prestigious Golden Slipper.

South Africa just doesn’t have such juvenile power.

The legal minimum age for racehorse ownership in South Africa is 18, but it works differently elsewhere. Twelveyear-old Hannah Schlenk registered her first win as an owner last Friday when her 6-year-old gelding Rous got up in a photo finish in Turfway Park's third race. Schlenk inherited Rous from her mother who died on 1 September. A sixth grader in Granite City, Illinois, she has grown up around horses – her Dad is a groom for Rous' trainer Vernon Obermeier.

Number

One

Jockey Aldo Domeyer, who recently rode 6 winners on an afternoon at Kenilworth, will replace Grant van Niekerk as Number One jockey to Candice Bass-Robinson. Domeyer will no longer be driving up the West Coast to the Plattner Racing establishment at Rondeberg, and so ends his successful association with the Plattner stable’s trainer Andre Nel.

There isn’t a jockey in the Cape riding with more confidence than Richard Fourie, who booted home a hat-trick at Kenilworth on Saturday. He is currently 20 winners behind Greg Cheyne on the SA log – but does not have the benefit of a good ‘away’ job. The middle leg of the Fourie treble was the Adam Marcus-trained Quippi, who gave Glen Hatt his first winner as Maine Chance Farm’s new Racing Manager. Not that Hatt will be taking any credit - yet!

Jeff Lloyd continued his dream season with a treble. Lloyd has the Brisbane and Queensland riding records firmly in his sights little more than halfway through the season. He is leading the Australian jockeys' premiership with 113 winners, the Queensland title with 112 winners and the Brisbane metropolitan race with 89. Watch this space!

Island Dates

The provisional calendar for the 2017 Mauritius racing season has been released and the first classic of the season - The Gr2 Duchess Of York Cup - is back in its traditional place as the main event of the inaugural meeting scheduled for Saturday 25 March.

The three remaining classic races - all Gr1’s at weight-for-age have been scheduled as The Barbe Cup Saturday 1 July, the Maiden Cup Sunday 3 September and the Duke Of York Cup Saturday 28 October .

The Singapore Turf Club has renamed the Gr3 Kranji Sprint to Rocket Man Sprint. Run as the second Leg of the Singapore Sprint Series, the 1200m event will be run on 26 March.

Widely considered as the greatest horse to have raced in Singapore, Rocket Man was the most famous local racing brand to have been exported overseas as well. With regular jockey Felix Coetzee, he won the Gr1 Golden Shaheen in Dubai and ran 2nd in the Hong Kong Sprint to JJ The Jet Plane.

Trained by Pat Shaw and owned by Fred Crabbia Rocket Man retired with a record of 20 wins, five seconds and one fourth from 27 starts for stakes earnings in excess of $6.7 million, the highest ever amassed by a Singapore racehorse. He was unbeaten in 17 domestic races – 9 at Group level. The now 12yo gelding is retired.

Ascot Stud sire Bold Silvano’s current crop of 2yos continue to catch the eye. The 2010 Vodacom Durban July winner’s daughter Hot N Hazy made a stylish winning debut over 1000m. Trained by Alan Greeff, and ridden by Greg Cheyne, Hot N Hazy put a length between herself and favourite Joking to win on debut. Bred by the Ascot Stud, she is out of the Way West mare Hot Girl, a four-time winning stakes placed winner. Bold Silvano has been represented by just 6 2yo runners this season. 4 have won or finished in the money and include R1 million Kuda Sprint winner Bold Respect and debut winner Pure Fiction.

Nudge Nudge Winx made it 14 wins in succession with a typically dominant effort to win the Gr2 A$250.000 Apollo Stakes at Royal Randwick. In the process the mare equalled the longest winning sequence of Phar Lap, and is now ready to nudge the legend out of the record. Over the course of her successive run of victories, Winx picked up nine Gr1 wins, highlighted by a Cox Plate double. The unbeaten record run of 25 wins by the brilliant sprinter Black Caviar, who never looked like losing on Australian soil, should stand for a long time yet, though.

Everyone’s A Winner

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

Magic Stuff Fairview 7th February Racing in Port Elizabeth on Tuesday took place on the poly track where the times were surprising very slow given the weather, and official track conditions. Three of the afternoon’s eight races were staged over 1200m and quickest home amongst these was TROUBLE MAKER when registering his fourth career victory in the MR66 Handicap.

Easy to back at 8/1 on the off, the Captain Al gelding was content to sit ninth of the twelve early on. He quickened well from halfway and won with some in hand after taking up the running 100m from home.

The faster of the two 1600m events was the MR69 Handicap and in what proved to be a real thriller the 4yo JUST LIKE MAGIC landed the spoils. The in-form BOLLEMAKIESIE was the first to make a move, and on striking the front 150m out, he looked to have done everything right. The always handy Just Like Magic also quickened well at that stage though, and with the rest some five lengths adrift, it was only by the narrowest of margins that he got the verdict.

At the other end of the distance scale, the biggest winning margin on the card was recorded by the former KZN campaigner OFF RAMP in the graduation plate over 1600m.

Making her first appearance since relocating to the Eastern Cape here, Grant Paddock’s charge was soon positioned close to the speed. She put her head in front going through the 200m and won going away by three and a quarter.

TITBITS The uneasy favourite PONT DU GARD only had to be pushed out when running on from midfield to win the MR76 Handicap very easily by a length and three quarters.

Positioned seventh of the nine turning for home, MATADOR IN RED quickened very nicely in the latter stages when winning the bill topping Conditions Stakes over 2200m going away.

Classy Double Turffontein 7th February The best bet on the card for many on the inner track on Tuesday evening was the progressive filly GREEN PEPPER in the fastest of the three 1000m events, a conditions plate.

Allowed to drift right out to 12/10 from 4/10 throughout the day, the daughter of Gimmethegreenlight raced a close up second for the vast majority of the journey. Ridden by a master of pace in Piere Strydom, the second favourite JOAN RANGER made the running. She kept up a healthy gallop throughout, and at the line had the remainder some three and a quarter lengths adrift. Green Pepper was made to give her all over the final 300m, and it was only very late that she got the upper hand. Green Pepper has now won five of her six career starts.

They also ran three races over 1400m and quickest home here was Green Pepper’s stable companion NEW PREDATOR. Well supported on course into 11/10 from 18/10, the son of New Approach also raced handy. He put his head in front shortly after the race developed into a sprint 400m out and rallied gamely after being headed 200m later to beat the easy to back KINGS ARCHER by three quarters.

A maiden juvenile plate over 1000m had opened up proceedings and here victory went to the nibbled at newcomer TRIBAL FORCE. Despite being the slowest into stride when the gates opened, the son of Antonius Pius was soon positioned in midfield. He was ridden to lead as they approached the 400m marker and went on to beat the favourite WHORLY WHORLY fair and square by just over a length. Five lengths behind the winner going through the 400m, the newcomer THE PUMA ran on well from the rear in this race and was only beaten a length and a half into third.

TITBITS

Ready For Some Opposition

Pitched in against a very moderate bunch, LIL GAMBLER gained a well overdue first career victory when getting off the mark in good style in the maiden 1400m.

Horses worth following at their next few starts...

The always handy THE PUMA (R Sage, Gauteng) PRINCE MYSHKIN won the MR78 Handicap over 1200m TOP SPEED RATINGS going away by a length for this WEEKEND and three quarters.

she got the better of a thrilling tussle by a neck.

Two of the three remaining races took place over 1000m, the fastest being the MR72 Handicap won by SPRING STEEL. Another to ease a little in the betting market, Michael Azzie’s charge was soon positioned close to the speed. He struck the front shortly after passing the 200m marker and with the remainder well beaten, he won going away from the front running GIMMETHEMONEY by a half.

TITBITS Now unbeaten in two starts the 2yo DARING DIVA was always in command when winning the Juvenile Plate over 1000m.

Belying her previous form, REDBERRY LANE raced clear throughout when winning the maiden plate over 1600m for the girls very easily by eight.

Thrown In On Best Form Greyville 10th February Two MR66 Handicaps for the girls topped the very moderate bill on Friday evening, the faster of which was the first division won by TYRON’S JET. Sent off a joint second favourite at 5/1, the ultra-consistent daughter of A P Answer raced prominent throughout. She ran on strongly when they came off the bend, and in what proved to be a real thriller, she got the verdict on the nod over the running on 15/1 shot NOODLE. The faster of the two 1000m events was the MR62 Handicap in which the very well handicapped MR MCSTEAMY gained a well overdue second career victory. Racing off a mark some twenty points below that of his previous best here, the 4yo son of King’s Chapel was soon positioned close to the speed. He put his head in

Greyville 8th February By far the easiest victory on the poly track on Wednesday was that of CHICAGO BEAT in the opening maiden plate over 1400m. Backed into 7/10 from even money at the track, the son of Silvano was soon up handy. He put his head in front shortly after passing the 300m marker and cruised clear in the closing stages of the race to score by eight.

Four of the afternoon’s eight races were run over 1400m and stopping the clock in the fastest time amongst these was BRAVE AND BOLD in the MR76 Handicap. Always handy in a strung out field, Wendy Whitehead’s charge ran on strongly in the short home straight and comfortably accounted for the slightly more fancied SCHOOL RUN by three quarters.

The only other distance to stage more than one race was 1900m where the faster of the two was the MR82 affair won

by READYFORYOURLOVE. Taken straight to the front in a race where there was no real pace throughout, Johan Janse Van Vuuren’s charge was always clear. She quickened well at the top of the straight and won without any anxious moments by three and a half.

TITBITS

Clear throughout, SNOW PATH was eased late when winning the maiden plate for the girls over 1400m with authority by three.

Thursday’s action took place on the outside track where three of the nine races were run over 1200m. Quickest home in these was DRAGON’S BREATH when registering his second career victory in the MR66 Handicap. Soon up handy, the Imperial Stride gelding put his head in front going through the 300m, and cruised clear in the closing stages of the race to score by five and a quarter.

They also ran three races over 1600m and stopping the clock in the fastest time amongst these was the 3yo COSTA DA SOL in the MR68 affair. Sent off a rather uneasy favourite at 2/1, Gavin Van Zyl’s charge was content to sit at the back of the eight for most of the journey.

She moved up to dispute matters shortly after TEENAGE DREAM put her head in front 150m out, and with the rest left trailing in their wake

front at the 300m pole and after quickly skipping clear won well by a length and a quarter.

Quickest home in the two 1900m races was the most lightly raced runner in the field AT LONG LAST. Freely available at 10/1 on the off, Andre Nel’s charge was yet another to race handy. He was asked to take up the running early in the home straight and won going away by a length from the 5/2 favourite THE MONEY MAN. TITBITS Allowed to ease right out to 16/10 from 7/10, the best bet on the card for most CUPKING had to give his all when only scraping home by the narrowest of margins in the maiden plate over 1600m.

Glorious Song, a member of North America’s Racing Hall Of Fame, was purchased by Frank Stronach for $36.000 as a yearling

G

lorious Songbook went on to earn more than $1 million and she notched up four official awards, including Horse Of The Year in Canada in 1980. Five of Glorious Song’s seventeen victories enjoyed Gr1 status at one time or another.

She left behind a host of notable descendants, and inbreeding to this matriarch is becoming increasingly successful.

Recent Gr3 Endeavour Stakes winner Isabella Sings (Eskendereya) is just one of a number of high class performers who carry multiple strains in her pedigree.

Isabella Sings, whose fourth dam is Glorious Song, has won 8 of 20 outings with four of her wins coming in graded stakes. Due to visit Uncle Mo in her first year at stud in 2017, she is one of just four graded stakes winners for her sire Eskendereya (Giant’s Causeway), who now stands in Japan.

Other notables inbred to Glorious Song include Gr3 Navarra King (Lope De Vega), Gr1 July Cup runner-up Suedois (Le Havre) and Brazilian Gr1 performer Donna Di Dubai (Emirates To Dubai).

Inbreeding through Glorious Song’s son Rahy (by Blushing Groom) resulted in the classic winner Alex Rossi (Freud) and group winners Arnold Lane (Footstepsinthesand), Puissance De Lune (Shamardal), and Steip Amach (Vocalised).

A daughter of Halo, Glorious Song is a full-sister to US champion 2yo Devil’s Bag. He is a sire of more than 40 stakes winners and broodmare sire of sire Orpen and US Champion Sire Saint Ballado. It was a case of what might have been for Saint Ballado, who died at the age of 13

but left behind US champions Saint Liam and Ashado in an all too brief stud career.

A full-sister to Glorious Song, Angelic Song, produced Gr1 Hollywood Turf Cup winner Sligo Bay (Sadler’s Wells), sire of Canadian Horse Of The Year Lexie Lou. Retired to stud in 1982, Glorious Song (who lived to the age of 27) left behind five stakes horses, notably champion and multiple Gr1 winner Singspiel (In The Wings). The sire of nearly 100 stakes winners, Singspiel’s top offspring include Solow, Lahudood and Lateral, and he is broodmare sire of 2016 Gr1 winning Wuheida (Prix Marcel Boussac) and Limato (Darley July Cup), as well as Australian sire Helmet (Exceed And Excel). In his first crop Helmet got 2yo Gr1 winner Thunder Snow, who won the Gr3 UAE 2000 Guineas at Meydan in his first start as a 3yo.

As good a sire as Singspiel was, his half-brother Rahy (Blushing Groom) was better.

He left behind a slew of high class performers, headed by champions Serena’s Song, Fantastic Light, Noverre (sire of leading French sire Le Havre), Dreaming Of Anna, and Rio De La Plata.

Rahy’s daughters have produced over 130 stakes winners to date. They include Horse Of The Year and triple US champion sire Giant’s Causeway (Storm Cat), successful sire Posse, Gr1 winners Sophisticat (Storm Cat), After Market (Storm Cat), Courageous Cat (Storm Cat), Declaration Of War (War Front) and Megahertz (Pivotal).

Rahy is also found in the pedigree of 2000 Guineas winner Gleneagles, his Irish 1000 Guineas winning own sister Marvellous, US champion Honor

Player’s Plan After two seasons in South Africa, Gr1 Racing Post Trophy winner Kingsbarns has been found to be subfertile, but his first local crop of foals born in 2016 is so outstanding that Drakenstein Stud plans to breed the son of Galileo on both northern and southern hemisphere time to enhance his chances of success. The unusual plan was suggested by Gary Player.

"Kingsbarns has a fertility issue. We only got about 50 per cent of his mares in foal, so he's not commercially viable," said Rupert last month in the midst of social events for the l'Ormarins Queen's Plate festival.

"But he's such a wonderful- looking specimen and he's the only Gr1winning son of Galileo in South Africa. The 14 foals born this year are so good-looking. Gary Player said “Why don't we breed him on northern hemisphere time and we can either send [the foals] to England or wait and race them here.”

Bred by Annemarie O'Brien and trained by her husband Aidan, Kingsbarns is from the prolific family that produced champions Rip Van Winkle and Halling, Dubai World Cup winner African Story, and QE II Challenge Cup winner Danish. His fourth dam, Mesopotamia, was Britain's top juvenile filly of 1963.

Rupert said she would like to race some of Kingsbarns' progeny in Britain and believes his first foals have the potential to be good runners anywhere. "The more of his offspring we can manage to get, the better," she said, adding that breeders will have ample opportunities to be sure their mares are serviced since any who might not get in foal on northern hemisphere time could be bred back on regular southern hemisphere scheduling.

Drakenstein advertises Kingsbarns' fee as R15.000. The stallion will be available to breeders for the northern hemisphere breeding season that begins in mid-February. (by Michele MacDonald – www.racingpost.com)

LEADING SIRE of 2yo’s by stakes*

Code and half brother Noble Tune (whose first crop are yearlings in SA).

Glorious Song made her mark in South Africa through her son Rakeen (Northern Dancer) Gr1 winners include Horse Of The Year and seven-time Gr1 champion sire Jet Master.

The latter is sire of young sires Pomodoro (first crop are yearlings) and Master Of My Fate (first crop are foals), and is damsire of the

Cape Derby winner Edict Of Nantes (Count Dubois).

Rakeen is the broodmare sire of multiple Equus Champion Princess Victoria (Victory Moon) and Gr1 winning sprinter Far De Vie (Fard).

Rakeen’s half-brothers Rahy and Singspiel left their mark in South Africa as well, with Rahy siring smart stayer Golden Oasis and Singspiel the high class stakes winners Potala Palace (first crop are yearlings in SA), Polzeath and Candy Singer.

Emperors Palace Summer Ready To Run Sale

History Says ‘Shop Here’!

F

A good eye is as good as a big chequebook – and it’s an old lament of followers of fashion at horse sales that they’re sorry they didn’t go with their instincts instead. Being able to use your eye and your instinct, that’s the advantage of Ready To Run over ordinary sales.

rom a value vantage it pays to shop at this sale, too. Bear in mind the achievements in the past fortnight alone of Gr3 Three Troikas star Anna Pavlova (cost R40k, 4 wins to date, earned R395k), En Gee Oh (cost R5k, 7 times in-the-money from 7), Luna Sea (cost R10k, 3 wins to date), and Ginger Biscuit (cost R20k, earnings R300k).

The bigger picture of past farm sales (aka the Emperors Palace Summer Ready To Run) shows it to be a prolific source of talent headed by Flyfirstclass (cost R130k, earnings R530k), Vulcan (cost R40k, earnings R660k) and Greasepaint (cost R50k, earnings R725k).

You never know where the good ones are going to come from, more so given the history of the number of outstanding racehorses Summerhill sold off the farm by stallions you might unkindly describe as past their “sell-bydate”.

The buyers of Imbongi (R140k purchase, by Russian Revival), Hear The Drums (R42k, Gold Press), Pierre Jourdan (R60k, Parade Leader), and Highveld gallopers Coby, Arch Rival and Top Shot (all by A.P. Arrow) know all too well how true this is.

This year’s gallops are up for viewing at www.summerhill.co.za/summer-ready-to-run-sale-2017/ Catalogues are available online on the Summerhill website and at www.mhbloodstock.co.za
