The Sean Tarrytrained Matador Man has improved with every outing and will enjoy the mile

Gr2 Gauteng Guineas PAST WINNERS

Gr2 GAUTENG GUINEAS at Turffontein this Saturday

W

Mike de Kock and Sean Tarry hold the aces in pure numbers and firepower in Saturday’s R1 million Gr2 Gauteng Guineas to be run over the Turffontein standside mile. The top yards saddle seven of the ten runners that will line-up in the first leg proper of the SA Triple Crown. ith William Longsword, the winner of the ‘alternate’ first leg – the Gr1 Cape Guineas – having recently retired to stud duties, the golden highway is open for one of ten 3yo’s on Saturday to write the first chapter into the history books.

Magic Mike

With both Heavenly Blue and Janoobi having taken on the might of William Longsword during the Cape summer season, their performances here will be monitored by form students to gain an overall early perspective of the national classic picture.

Both are trained by Mike de Kock, who will be itching to get his name back on the honour roll after five years out in the wilderness - after Golden Chateau sprung a major surprise in 2012.

De Kock’s Snitzel colt Heavenly Blue tops the SP ratings and is the joint highest rated runner in the race with stablemate Janoobi.

Young Murray Callan Murray takes over the riding honours from Weichong Marwing and a review of the grey colt’s first five outings suggests he will go close on Saturday.

After winning his first two starts with ease, Heavenly Blue arrived too late in both the Graham Beck Stakes (behind Doosra) and the Dingaans (behind Singapore Sling).

While Heavenly Blue failed to produce any spark in the Cape Guineas, where he ran 5,40 lengths off William Longsword, he had excuses - being expected to jump from his 15 from 16 barrier gate on a strange left-handed track.

Singapore Sling, who he beat in the Graham Beck Stakes and turned the tables on him in the Dingaans, subsequently ran a cracker when third under two lengths behind William Longsword in the CTS Mile.

Janoobi failed to settle in the Cape Guineas and finished just behind Singapore Sling.

Well beaten by the same horse (5,45 lengths) in the Dingaans, it is notable that Striker Strydom retains the ride on Janoobi for the fourth consecutive run and no doubt likes a bit of what he has felt so far.

The R1.2 million buy is a course and distance winner and could be dangerous if he doesn’t use up too much energy in the race.

The Graham Beck Stakes winner Doosra has been a little lacklustre in his last two starts but will be ready and fitter for battle on Saturday.

His one and only run over the mile – a 5,35 length fourth in the Dingaans – suggests that he could be found wanting over the trip and his performance will be monitored for solid improvement.

No Bull Listed Secretariat Stakes winner Matador Man is the first of the Sean Tarry quartet.

The son of Toreador has proven very consistent and ran on well to chase the filly Ektifaa home in the Gr3 Tony Ruffel Stakes last time out.

While a little widely drawn, he is a fellow who likes to be dropped in and this is unlikely to hamper his prospects.

He beat Doosra by 2,90 lengths in the Tony Ruffel and meets the Van Vuuren galloper on 3kgs worse terms – there will be little between them – with the distance seeming to rather favour Matador Man. The Lucky Houdalakis trained Just As Well gelding Chili Con Carne has upped his game in his last four runs with the aid of blinkers, and gets the advantage of a 1 draw for the third consecutive run.

Marco Van Rensburg takes the reins from Piere Strydom

who rides Janoobi.

Chili Con Carne looks held by both Doosra and Matador Man on the Gr3 Tony Ruffel Stakes collateral and we are not convinced that he will be as effective over the mile.

Gary Alexander and Andrew Fortune team up with the Admire Main gelding, Unagi.

The Summerhill Stud-bred product has proven something of a decent buy, earning five times his purchase price in his 4 wins from 12 starts.

While he ran a gutsy 2,10 length fourth behind Chili Con Carne in the Ready To Run Cup back in November, he has yet to show genuine classic pretensions and would be a place candidate at his very best.

Top Jockey Anthony Delpech rides the unbeaten Silvano colt Al Sahem, who races after an eleven week break following his withdrawal on grounds of a respiratory disease from an intended Progress Plate prep on 24 January.

Al Sahem could be

anything and has won both his starts over a mile with ease – and with betting support. He has to go into all calculations and could be streets better than his MR of 93. Watch this one!

The Australian-bred Furiosa is the ride of Tarry first choice jockey S’manga Khumalo and that in itself suggests that we consider his virtues.

He has won 2 of his 6 starts and last time beat the older one-time Gr1 placed flash-in-the-pan Amsterdam in an MR80 Handicap over 1800m on the inside track.

He was a well beaten 4 length second in the Listed Sea Cottage Stakes in a mostly uninspiring field and has no firm credentials – other than the team behind him – to suggest he can trouble the top three.

Form A Question De Kock’s third runner is Daffiq who has his third outing as a 3yo.

A runner-up in his 2yo term in the Listed Gatecrasher Stakes – form that has not

The Crown Awaits The R7-million SA Triple Crown for 3-year-olds is the richest series of races in Africa and has been won three times.

Mike Azzie’s Go Deputy gelding Abashiri won the coveted series in 2016 and after Mike de Kock’s Horse Chestnut in 1999 and the Geoff Woodruff star Louis The King in 2014, became the third horse to wear the crown.

Saturday’s Gr2 Gauteng Guineas is the first leg.

The second leg of the Triple Crown is the R2-million Gr1 SA Classic to be run over 1800m at Turffontein on 1 April.

The third leg is the R2 million Gr1 SA Derby to be run over 2450m on Saturday 6 May. A bonus of R2 million will be paid to the owner/s of the horse that wins all three legs .

panned out too positively – he also looks held by Doosra on his penultimate run, although will strip a fitter horse on Saturday.

Tilbury Fort travelled to the Cape for a bite at the CTS Mile cherry on Sun Met day.

The son of Horse Chestnut was never in the hunt, finishing some 7,15 lengths behind William Longsword.

While he has proven consistent, he does look held

by Matador Man on his 1,75 length second in the Listed Secretariat Stakes in receipt of 3,5kgs.

His respiratory issues also inspire little confidence.

Tactical In a tightly matched contest, we are suggesting that the classic cream will rise to the top and the De Kock pair of Heavenly Blue and Janoobi could fight things out.

It could be a terrific tactical duel between two horses with very different racing styles!

Matador Man is always thereabouts and will be snapping at the heels – while the unknown quantity of Al Sahem represents the dark horse factor – and must be included.

No Safe Harbours Here!

Gr2 Wilgerbosdrift GAUTENG FILLIES GUINEAS at Turffontein this Saturday

T

Sean Tarry and Mike De Kock could well be the men to follow in the R500 000 Gr2 Gauteng Guineas at Turffontein on Saturday. It looks a straight shootout between two badly drawn but very smart fillies from each yard.

arry goes for his hat-trick in the race but De Kock’s Ektifaa looks something very special.

Tarry’s supremely talented hard-knocking locally bred Safe Harbour versus the flashy Australian bred Ektifaa, who goes for her fifth win on the trot. That’s the match.

The draw gods threw some hope into the pot for the other fourteen with a bit of a start courtesy of the wide barrier gates allotted to the top duo. But iIt will still be difficult to stop them.

Top Class

Ektifaa has not put a foot wrong since winning her maiden over the Vaal 1200m in September.

The Gr2 Choice Carriers Championship and a rollicking romp after a 3 month break when beating the boys in the Tony Ruffel back home has foisted the daughter of More Than Ready into the spotlight.

She bumps Safe Harbour for the first time on Saturday and this daughter of Elusive Fort has put up some never-say-die showings of note herself since winning the Lanzerac Ready To Run Cup at Kenilworth in November.

Outstanding runner-up finishes to Just Sensual (last Saturday’s Gr3 Prix Du Cap winner) in the Gr1 Cape Fillies Guineas and to Bela-Bela in the Gr1 Paddock Stakes, were followed by a running on fifth to William Longsword in the CTS Mile last time.

It has been a long hard season and she is hardly off the float when asked to compete at the top level again!

The rest have some leeway to make up.

Disappointing

The Listed Devon Air Stakes winner Maleficent has failed to deliver in her 3yo

season so far and returned from an unplaced effort in the Cape Fillies Guineas to produce a very unflattering performance in the Three Troikas. She was fancied and ran handily before fading right out to finish tenth of twelfth.

The gutsy Anna Pavlova continues to defy the sceptics and completed the hat-trick when flying late to win the Three Troikas last time out. She tries the mile for the first time on Saturday and has drawn very wide – but dare we discard the big hearted daughter of St Petersburg?

Distance Suited

Babbling Brooke also ran in the Three Troikas where she finished out of the money and just over 4 lengths off the winner. This beautifully bred Western Winter filly ran on steadily for fourth in the Fillies Mile and it is very likely that she will be more comfortable over the mile.

The Announce filly Last Chirp looks to hold Pool Party at these weights and showed prominently for a long way in the Three Troikas before being swallowed up late for a one length third.

One of only 3 four-time winners in the race, she is out of a speed mare and tries the mile for the first time – we have our reservations.

Gr3 Fillies Mile winner Smiling Blue Eyes returns from a 14 week break and has sadly drawn widest of all in a bid to complete a hattrick. The lightly tried daughter of Dynasty’s race fitness could play a role and she presents punters with a poser of note.

Improver?

Al Hawraa is the second of the De Kock attack and this daughter of New Approach ran on steadily when beaten 2 lengths in the Three Troikas. A three-time winner from eight starts, she could relish the mile and improve to challenge.

The Gr3 Fillies Mile third placer Being Fabulous won going away over the course and distance in early January and then led late before beaten 2 lengths into third behind Belle Rose (in receipt of 4,5kgs) in an MR 84 Handicap last time.

The daughter of High Chaparral hails from a feature winning yard and with Gavin Lerena in the irons suggests a dollop of dark horse status.

The well tried Kahal filly Pool Party has drawn beautifully against the paint and ran a cracking fourth only 1,35 lengths behind Anna Pavlova in the Three Troikas.

That was her first feature effort and she could be capable of running into the back end of quartets at best.

Spark

The once smart 2yo Visuality has drawn very wide but showed a spark of life when looking a winner late before being nabbed

by Anna Pavlova in the Three Troikas Stakes. She Gr1 placed daughter of Visionaire could be a place prospect if maintaining that level of improvement.

The lightly raced Orchid Island was an impressive winner when beating the boys in the Listed Sea Cottage Stakes. Her 4 length victory over Furiosa from the worst of the draw was an eyecatching one and with Anthony Delpech up again comes into the picture very strongly.

No Shine

Santiburi has a 2yo victory over Safe Harbour to her credit but has not quite delivered in her 3yo term. She ran a very poor

race in the Gr3 Fillies Mile on Summer Cup day and was then beaten 1,25 lengths by Pool Party when in need of the run last time.

Elusive Strike ran a 1,70 length fifth in the Gr3 Three Troikas and looks held by all of Anna Pavlova, Visuality, Last Chirp and Pool Party on that run.

Belle Rose is another of the Mike de Kock attack and this daughter of Golden Sword gets thrown in the deep end with no previous feature exposure. She also has a wide draw to overcome.

S’'manga Khumalo has the ride on Redberry Lane who looked moderate until fitted with blinkers and then won her maiden by 8.80 lengths.

She is a full sister to Solo Traveller who won the Cape Guineas and a half-sister to Starship Legacy, who sold for R4.5 million at last month’s Cape Premier Yearling Sale.

stand out on all fronts and beyond the likes of Orchid Island, Anna Pavlova and Being Fabulous look the right two.

Smiling Blue Eyes is drawn wide and her fitness question raises doubts.

It looks very tough for the balance

Reach For The Tiara As is the case in the boys’ equivalent, Just Sensual, the winner of the alternate first leg of the Wilgerbosdrift Triple Tiara does not make the trip to Turffontein on Saturday.

Thus, one of the sixteen fillies that line up in the Gr2 Gauteng Fillies Guineas set out to emulate two recent stars – Igugu in 2011 and Cherry On The Top, who wore the Tiara in 2013.

The Triple Tiara is the richest series of races for fillies in Africa and a bonus of R1 million will be paid to the owner/s of all three legs of the series.

The second leg is the R1-million Wilgerbosdrift Gr1 SA Fillies Classic to be run over 1800m on Saturday 1 April.

The third leg, the R1-million Wilgerbosdrift Gr2 SA Oaks over 2450m is run on 6 May.

A disappointingly small field turns out to contest the R400 000 Gr2 Hawaii Stakes at Turffontein on Saturday. With thunderstorms probably the real best bet of the day, exotic backers may be able to go quite narrow with Kangaroo Jack and the back-up of the Australian-bred New Predator.

Gr2 HAWAII STAKES at Turffontein on Saturday

T

his Gr2 feature is open to all horses with 4yo’s and older to carry 58kgs and 3 yo’s 55,0 kgs. Winners of Gr1 races get 2kgs for each such win, while Gr2 wins accrue a 1kg penalty.

Very Smart

We are aiming to simplify matters by going in a big way for Gary Alexander’s smart Querari gelding Kangaroo Jack, who was in a sweet vein of form, when producing a rare below par showing at his last start. He did reportedly pull up lame on the off-fore there.

A dual Gr 2 winner, Kangaroo Jack failed to produce his customary kick when plodding for a 4,50 length fifth behind New Predator at his last start. His earlier form and reputation suggests he could make amends here.

New Predator – a fast improving sort – received 6kgs there and now takes on Jack at level weights. The Gr2 Drill Hall Stakes winner gets the plum 1 draw and with his natural pace could stretch all of jockey Andrew Fortune’s patience on Kangaroo Jack – who has a very different racing style.

Mike De Kock’s lightly raced and exciting Redoute’s Choice colt Rafeef takes his first plunge into deep waters after a very good second to Irish Pride in the Listed Wolf Power 1600 last time. The winner of 4 from 7 starts looks to have plenty of scope to build on his current 95 rating and is an interesting dark

horse in this field.

Gr2 Hawaii Stakes

Too Sharp

PAST WINNERS

The consistent Romany Prince enjoys a healthy weight swing with the De Kock runner after finishing third in the Wolf Power. He could find this a trifle sharp.

The multiple Gr1 winner French Navy returns from an unsuccessful tilt at the Sun Met and has lost some of his 3yo sparkle. The 5yo cannot be discounted but will prefer further and looks under pressure to produce a winning run.

Mike Azzie’s Will Pays is another that has gone off the boil. He finished almost 6 lengths off New Predator and is 4kgs better off here – but looks hard pressed to up his game.

Fort Ember is the only filly in the line-up and the Gr3 Flamboyant Stakes victress returns after a two month break and could need the outing.

A winner of 5 of her 9 starts, she could force a cut throat duel up front, which can only play into Kangaroo Jack’s hands.

Tarry Elect Bulleting Home is the second of the Tarry runners and while always thereabouts is battling to land a decent prize. The 5yo will be ridden by S’manga Khumalo and can be considered the stable elect.

Coenie de Beer’s barefoot bomber Talktothestars returns from a disappointing Cape summer campaign. Set topweight of 60kgs, the son of Overlord ran stone last in this race last year and is a proven sprinter with

The smart Kangaroo Jack can atone for his below-par last run no qualifications to boost his credentials beyond 1200m.

He would be a surprise winner.

Uncomplicated Let’s not complicate matters. If Kangaroo Jack is back to good health he should just about win it.

New Predator and the scopy Rafeef are the likely dangers.

The Great Hawaii The Gr2 Hawaii Stakes is named in honour of the Platberg Stud bred Hawaii, a champion at two and three in SA, after which he was sent to race in the USA by owner Charles W. Engelhard, Jr. Voted the 1969 American Champion Turf Horse, our local dual Guineas winner set a track record in the 2400m Man o’ War Stakes on turf at Belmont Park.

Hawaii retired from racing after the 1969 season having won 21 of 28 career starts with earnings of US$371 292.

He stood at Claiborne Farm in Paris, Kentucky and famously sired Henbit, who raced in England and won the 1980 Epsom Derby.

Hawaii died at Claiborne Farm in 1990 at 26 and was buried in their Marchmont division equine cemetery.

Gr3 ACACIA HANDICAP at Turffontein on Saturday

Weighing S Up The Chances When is a handicap not a handicap? In the last dozen years, the Acacia handicap has been won by short priced favourites six times, three of them starting at odds-on. Given that according to the NHA’s Rules a handicap is a race ‘in which the weights to be carried by the horses are allocated by the handicapper for the purpose of equalising their chances of winning’ those short winner’s odds are startling stats. The market clearly didn’t think the weights allocated by the official handicapper were correct, and at least half the time they weren’t wrong!

The Acacia handicap, restricted to fillies and mares, is run over a mile on the standside track. The draw appears to be of lesser importance, and in the last two years the trifecta was made up of draws 8/13/2 and 6/11/8, on good and soft going.

porting Post’s best handicapped of the 15 runners is Silver Class, who recorded a careerbest rating over the course and distance last November. Her two subsequent runs, over 1400m, were disappointing, but don’t write her off.

Next in the ratings is Sensible Lover, who finished ahead of Silver Class in November, and also dropped the ball in her subsequent two runs. A return to the November form would give her a first chance.

Rated slightly behind her is the trio of Shaama, Tahini and Work Ethic. Tahini finished ahead of Sensible Lover and Silver Class in November, then travelled to the Cape where she had three runs in top company – races won

by Whisky Baron, Bela-Bela and Nightingale. She never quite got involved from off the pace in those races. Better this time! Shaama was off the track from February last year until January. Her two runs since then were an excellent win and a second. She tries a mile for the first time and on her best 2yo rating (when second in the SA Nursery) would have this field stone-cold. She could well be the next short-priced winner. Work Ethic ran a nice race on polytrack at Greyville in January, but her runs prior to that and afterwards were disappointing. She’s another whose best rating was higher than we have her here, so she cannot be taken lightly.

Going down the race ratings,

there’s Off The Mark, who looks well held by Shaama. Next is Cassie O’Malley, who usually races with the pace, but is drawn 13 and will have to make an early effort to get to her favoured position. Her usual tactics are not easy to execute and she isn’t always able to get home.

Pennington Sands often spoils her chances by starting slowly and cannot afford to do that in this company.

Polyphonic finished second in the November race mentioned earlier, and she’s yet another whose two subsequent runs were way below that form – although she started at short odds both times. She was dropped two points by the handicapper, and has Strydom in the saddle here.

Nother Russia has shown solid, good form in three starts following a break from March till November last year. She should have the beating of Banking April following on from their last encounter.

Bella Sonata looks closely matched with Kilauea, who beat Shaama at level weights last time, but is worse off at the weights.

Top-weighted Flying Ice has had two runs following a break from July to November. The second of those suggests that she may be back to best here with the blinkers back on. She would probably have preferred a stiffer test distance-wise, though.

Cape-visitor Leisure Trip looks to be an optimistic entry, and competes under sufferance by a few points.

The Acacia is better known as the wattle, especially in Australia.

‘This here's the wattle, the emblem of our land. You can stick it in a bottle, you can hold it in your hand.’

First Bruce in the Four Bruces sketch, Monthy Python - http://www.montypython.net/ scripts/bruceskit.php There are two Australianbreds in the Acacia handicap line-up, Sensible Lover and Shaama.

Their presence looks to be well scripted!

WAYNE MARKS

Simply Cruising!

Just Too Classy!

Gr3 PRIX DU CAP at Kenilworth last Saturday

T

Cape Fillies Guineas winner Just Sensual confirmed her status in the upper echelon of her generation, when registering an emphatic victory in the R250 000 Gr3 Prix Du Cap at Kenilworth on Saturday.

his feature traditionally brings the curtain down on the Cape Summer Of Champions and the afternoon was well patronised by the ‘prawns on the lawns’ set, who enjoyed the beautiful weather – and hopefully boosted on-course betting turnover in the process.

Kenilworth Racing hosted Western Cape Gambling Review Board Director (and Legal Director for UCT) Claude Basseday, who was shown the ins and outs of the racing operator’s processes by KR Director Vidrik Thurling.

Results on the day were generally favourable too, with visiting super jock Anton Marcus scoring a hat-trick from just four rides.

Trainer Joey Ramsden – sunning it in Australia – cracked four winners on the afternoon, and he and Marcus teamed up to repeat their Cape Fillies Guineas success with the very talented Just Sensual.

The daughter of Dynasty showed her uphill task at her last run from a wide draw in the CTS Mile to be all wrong when being beautifully

A

positioned from her 1 draw a few lengths off

by Marcus.

At the 300m the 8-10 favourite came forward powerfully to overhaul the game pacesetter Captain’s Flame and went on to win by 0,40 lengths in a time of 87,44 secs.

The improving Gimme Six and recent Fairview feature winner A Time To Dream came from the clouds to grab third and fourth respectively.

The anticipated battle of the past Cape Fillies Guineas winners failed to materialise as Silver Mountain again disappointed – the daughter of Silvano showing nothing after being given every chance.

The Klawervlei Stud-bred Just Sensual, who cost R2 million on the Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1, is by Dynasty out of 2008 Champion 2yo filly Consensual (Camden Park).

Just Sensual has won 4 races with 1 place from 6 starts for stakes of R883 750.

She is likely to be rested - and could then join the Ramsden team for the forthcoming SA Champions Season.

LADY'S PENDANT (Listed) at Fairview last Friday

There are those of the opinion that 2007 Equus Champion 2yo Argonaut was discarded as a stallion prematurely.

That debate crops up when he has a decent winner – like the 6yo Clear Sailing, who annihilated her opposition to win the R150 000 Listed Lady’s Pendant.

A

decade ago, the handsome chestnut Argonaut was the highest rated 2yo in the history of SA racing. After winning his maiden, he won the Gr1 Golden Horseshoe and the Gr1 Premier’s Champion Stakes by 5 lengths. He ran second in his only other Gr1 start at 2.

The son of Western Winter raced only four times here, before being exported to Australia, where he was injured and never raced.

Argonaut produced 3 stakes winners from 5 average sized crops and there is little doubt that Friday’s runaway winner Clear Sailing (from his first crop) is his overall most accomplished performer – she has won 3 Listed Stakes features, although the Gr3 Champion Juvenile Cup and Listed success of the 3yo O Tamara – who is still racing, could yet overshadow her.

Slightly slow away in the 1200m turf contest, Greg

Cheyne had Clear Sailing tucked away near the rear of the fourteen strong field down the outside as Summer Cruise and Firstimesacharm led the charge The powerful mare showed no signs of her expected race fitness doubts after a 4 month break, hitting the front at the 400m.

Full of running, Clear Sailing galloped on relentlessly to register her third Listed stakes victory and beat Cape challenger Felicity Flyer by 3,50 lengths in a time of 68,73 secs.

Cape raiders filled the balance of the places with the late finishing favourite Champery a head away in third. The gutsy Anneline cracked a fourth cheque, to hold off her more fancied stablemate, Our Destiny.

We spoke to a pleased as punch KZN owner Cecil Baitz after the race.

“Wasn’t that impressive?

She is such a terrific mare.

I will leave the rest to Alan

Domeyer On Right One

Forbes’ Feature Success

CAPE MILE Kenilworth, Saturday

FEVER TREE S. Scottsville Sunday

horrifying incident inside the final 300m marred a long overdue win by the Vaughan Marshall-trained 4yo Victorious Jay, who scored a runaway victory in the R150 000 Cape Mile at Kenilworth on Saturday.

The non black-type mile feature hosted a field of ten, with regular pacesetter Milton scooting off to a three length lead from the jump.

Moonlight ‘N Roses refused to jump with her field and stayed in the stalls. Milton led Eighth Wonder and Victorious Jay into the home run, with MJ Byleveld heading for the outside running rail.

With Victorious Jay and Nebula moving forward to challenge at the 350m, Milton, who had run a cracker in the Gr2 Peninsula Handicap when running subsequent Met winner Whisky Baron to two lengths, appeared to come under pressure.

Aldo Domeyer brought Victorious Jay up Milton’s inside, with Greg Cheyne trying to get Nebula through a gap down the outside rail.

With Nebula going well, the son of Silvano appeared to clip Milton’s heels at around the 250m marker and Cheyne came down heavily – just missing contact with the rail.

Milton was forced to check briefly, as was Eighth Street, who was just behind the pair. By this time Victorious Jay had escaped and he went on powerfully to comfortably hold the late challenge of the favourite Silicone Valley by 0,75 lengths in a time of 99,23 secs.

Milton was ridden by MJ Byleveld, who had ironically jumped ship from the winner, and miraculously stayed on for third a further 2,50 lengths back.

The Vaughan Marshall-trained Victorious Jay, often on the fringes of the classic action in his 3yo term, has won 4 races with 8 places from 16 starts for stakes of R599 650.

Victorious Jay, a R175 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 graduate, was bred by Hemel ‘n Aarde Stud.

A full-brother to the smart five-time winner, Zubbadubbadoo, he is a son of Jay Peg out of the three-time winning Jallad mare, Rub A Dub Dub. Greg Cheyne was badly shaken but on his feet and taken to hospital for observation. Nebula, who finished his race, was also fine.

An estimated crowd of 2500 attended, with a R30 gate entrance fee charged, which included a R20 tote betting voucher.

Phumelela Racing Executive Clyde Basel labelled the day ‘a success’.

T

ristan Godden registered the fourth winner of his career as a fully fledged jockey when riding a finely judged race to get Royal Armour home for Lezeanne Forbes in the Fever Tree Stakes at Scottsville on Sunday.

The 1400m non black-type feature hosted just eight runners on the soft going on a testing card that produced a lucky-for-some R268 000.

With the jockeys leaving a gap on the inside rail, Sylvester The Cat made the running as he enjoys to do, with Royal Armour tucked away two lengths off.

Sylvester The Cat maintained a strong gallop down the outside, with the likes of Monte Christo floundering down the outside.

Royal Armour took the lead at the 250m and looked to be going the better and held his advantage to the line to win by a head in a time of 86,55 secs.

The pacesetting Sylvester The Cat was given a good ride from the front by Jarred Samuel and almost came right back – holding on gamely for second.

Christmas Handicap winner Rikitikitana ran a moderate race as did the 5-2 favourite Monte Christo who made his run down the seemingly worse going on the inside and faded to finish stone last of the eight runners.

The Waterford Stud bred winner is a 4yo son of Jay Peg out of the three-time winning Fort Wood mare, Royal Palm.

He was the second feature winner of the weekend for multiple Gr1 winner Jay Peg after Victorious Jay had won the Cape Mile at Kenilworth 24 hours earlier.

Royal Armour was purchased for just R60 000 off the 2014 Emperors Palace National Yearling Sale and took his earnings to a very respectable R431 000 with his 7th win with 3 places from 22 starts.

(Greef) but we will definitely retire her for breeding at the end of this season. She owes us nothing,“ said the longstanding owner, who races the winner in partnership with his Aussie based Veterinarian son Gary.

Clear Sailing was purchased for R350 000 on the Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1.

Her original owners, Robyn and Robin Muir, put her on the market as a three-time winner, motivated chiefly by the fact that the Argonaut progeny were not exactly firing – and she had breathing issues.

Bred by Geoff Armitage, Clear Sailing is out of the five-time winning daughter of Goldkeeper, Clear Up, who has produced a host of good winners.

Clear Sailing has won 8 races with 9 places from 23 starts and stakes of R655 500.

She was one of three winners for Alan Greeff, while Greg Cheyne rode a double for the top yard.

Bryn Ressell

the portuguese ambassador Bryn Ressell’s Hamilton Rugby Club colours have become a fixture on our tracks, and his ‘Hammie’s’ naming prefix makes them easy to pick out on the card.

A

fter years of sponsoring the Gr3 Premier Trophy under the Calulo banner, Bryn has continued his support sponsoring the Prix du Cap with Vasco Tavern on a day that has become synonymous with Cape Town’s annual end of season prawn festival.

Despite not being in racing all that long, Bryn has been associated with a number of really good horses including the likes of Hammie’s Hooker and What A Winter, as well as current hope, Marinaresco.

Bryn’s racing, his colours and his sponsorship of the Prix du Cap neatly tie up his three passions in life. His silks are the colours of Hammies rugby club and his passion for racing and the sponsorship ties back in to where it all started at Vasco Tavern, which Bryn bought a few years ago.

About Bryn To unpick the threads of how it all came together, one has to go back a few years. Bryn grew up in the Eastern Cape, attending Dale College in King William’s Town.

From there, he opted for UCT where he studied accountancy.

Bryn has always been a keen rugby player and tried valiantly to play for UCT, but in his own words, didn’t get much of a look in. “One day a friend said come and play at Hamilton Rugby Club (“the oldest and proudest rugby club in South Africa,” he says fondly). As it happened, the coach was also a Dale College man and had been in the same hostel as me. He’d even played hooker like I did. They just said ‘welcome’ and that was how I got involved.”

Bryn has subsequently served on the committee and been intimately involved with the club for the last 30 years. Hammies’ is also where he met Marsh Shirtliff, who he fondly refers to as ‘Pops’.

Calulo Shipping After completing his national service, Bryn joined Mobil.

As the political landscape started to shift and sanctions lifted, Mobil morphed into SACO and then Engen and Bryn headed up the shipping department. “I was in my late 30’s.

The director was 52 or 53 and not going anywhere. I wasn’t married and had no kids or responsibilities.

I’d always been very much for transformation, even before BEE became a reality. One day I met Mkhuseli Faku and on a handshake we became partners and that was the birth of Calulo Shipping back in about 1997. We’ve been together ever since.”

Racing “Vasco’s was my local pub and my best friend GK and I used to go there all the time. One day, we’d had a long long long lunch with Mike Reynolds and they were showing a horse auction on TV. In our condition, we decided we would buy some horses. I rang them up, but no-one could understand us

over the phone, so Mike suggested phoning Marsh as he would probably be there anyway. I got hold of Marsh and said we wanted to buy 3 horses. I had no clue about the cost – I’m from the Eastern Cape where a horse costs R2 or R3k.

The next morning I had a call from Marsh at about 7am asking whether I remembered calling him the day before. I hadn’t got a clue, but said yes. He asked whether I still wanted the three horses I’d asked for. I said, “I’m an Eastern Cape man of my word. Of course I do!” A week later the bill arrived and it had more zeros than I’d ever seen. My other partners wisely decided they’d opt out, but that was it for me,” he chuckles. Rose Reserve won her first 4 races and it all seemed too easy.

The bug bit.” However, his bravery has paid off and he was handsomely rewarded with the success of What A Winter, who was his 7th horse.

Vasco Tavern “Vasco’s is a Portuguese taverna and was established in 1972. It’s referred to as the Portuguese Embassy or the Yellow Pages because of the yellow awning out the front.

Generations of fathers and sons have had their first beer there together and it’s where GK and I spent a lot of time. It was our home from home. We solved all the world’s problems there and probably created a few more,” he acknowledges. “A few years ago they wanted to knock it down for development. It took some persuading, but Bryn managed to secure it and now owns his very own bit of Cape Town history.

“GK had passed on from

pancreatic cancer, so I bought it in memory of him, but also because it’s a historic Cape Town landmark.

I run it in conjunction with Graeme Smith, Ross Cowing and Dean Berry.

It’s all about being relaxed and having fun. Obviously one can never get things 100% right all the time, but the food is good and as we get a lot of Portuguese guys coming in, we must be doing something right!”

Bryn has had a lot of success with Marsh Shirtliff. “I’m passionate, but he takes it to a different level! My horses are predominantly with the Bass yard, but I’ve also got horses with the likes of Piet Steyn, Lucky Houdalakis and a few up in PE.” His interests have also expanded to breeding and he is philosophical.

“They say if you want to lose money, buy a horse. If you want to lose a fortune, start breeding!” Horses’ futures after racing are one of his concerns and he has bought the 40 ha Four Seasons farm in Hemel ‘n Aarde. “For any of my horses that can’t find a home, there is space there.” They are also renovating and upgrading the property and looking into turning it into a spa / rehab centre or possibly even a spelling and pre-training facility. There is also talk of planting vines. “We are doing it all properly, which is slow going and one sometimes wonders whether it’s not easier to ask forgiveness than get permission,” he quips. “Of course, the surest way to lose money is to become a farmer, but we’ll see.”

Sponsorship “We started out with the Premier Trophy and we now do the Prix du Cap. When

Calulo sponsored the Premiership Trophy it was a way to combine racing with our year-end function.

When clients said they wanted something different I decided Vasco would be a good fit as it’s where my racing started and it’s all about having a good time so there’s a lot of synergy.”

Does it provide a return?

“Absolutely. As they say, it’s in the giving that you receive. We get a lot of coverage for Vasco and we’re seeing a real return for our involvement. A lot of the racing fraternity are regulars, but particularly after the Cape Premier Sale, we get a lot of support which is really great.”

“In terms of the race day itself, I’ve got to thank Etienne Braun for providing the prawns and helping make the day what it is. My favourite race day is the Queen’s Plate. This is completely different and is more for families and kids, but people come and have fun and it’s a feel-good day out. Whether people end up associating with Vasco I don’t know, but as long as people come racing and have a good day, we’re smiling.

I must thank the Kenilworth Racing team – Clyde, Mandy and Jenna really push the boat out and one of the reasons we’ve stayed on is because of how good they’ve been.”

Family The family aspect is important to him. “My family love it. We’ve got a box at Kenilworth and it’s a great way to spend time with my kids. They do come to the races, but don’t come to the stables at 6am on a Saturday - they’re not that passionate!” he laughs. His youngest son Michael is perhaps the biggest fan. “He loved What A Winter. Where other kids would watch Tellytubbies, he’d rather watch What A Winter’s race replays. One Sunday Mikey was watching a DVD of What A Winter’s runs. While he was busy, Bernard Fayd’herbe rang for a quick chat. When I hung up, Mike said “Dad, Bernie is absolutely incredible!’ My heart sank – if my kid wants to have a hero in life, please God it be a rugby player!” he says in mock horror. “I said ‘Oh? Why’s that?’ Mike replied “Bernie can ride What A Winter and speak to you on the phone at the same time, Bernie is incredible!” I just laughed and had to concede that yes, Bernie is amazing.

“The racing fraternity has

always been fantastic to my kids and in many ways, like most sport, racing teaches you a lot of life lessons.

You learn to take the knocks in life and you learn that there are no certainties. What A Winter gave us a good lesson in that. We all went up to Durban for his last run (the Mercury Sprint at Clairwood). He was 4-10 favourite and we’d taken it more or less as a given that he would turn up and win – that was just what he did. There was going to be a canter past and a farewell and all that stuff. And then he finished 3rd to All Is Secret. My son was absolutely distraught and much as it hurt me to see him upset, it was a helluva lesson that life isn’t fair and things don’t come easy. But you learn and you grow,” he shrugs.

“Like with rugby, you learn to lose like a winner and win like a loser.

You have to remember that you’re dealing with an animal and that there are no certainties in life. It’s not how you fall, it’s how you grow.”

What A Winter What A Winter would be a thrill for even the most hardened racing owner to have and it’s the dream of any enthusiast to own a horse good enough to go to stud. Bryn says, “He is standing in horse heaven at Drakenstein Stud Farm. Every day I say ‘thank you Gaynor Rupert’ for having him.” While it’s hard to look past a champion of that calibre, there have been a few other highlights. “Of all the horses I’ve had over the years, and I’ve had a few, I think I’ve chosen 4. The first one was one of my favourites, Epic Tale. He’s a beautiful horse and is now the lead horse for Helderberg Blue. Another one I bought for the name – Sheer Trouble – and then the other one that I was allowed to buy (in partnership between myself, Marsh and Markus Jooste) was the first What A Winter ever sold - for obvious reasons. People are speaking highly of the What A Winter progeny in training, but let’s see what happens on the course.”

Hammie’s Hooker was another memorable runner. “In any other era she would have won a few Gr1’s, but she happened to run at the same time as Beach Beauty.” Considering the name, it is odd that she was one of the few horses not to run in the Hammies silks. “Marsh was clever there, he managed to choose the best Hammies horse to run in his colours. You’ll have to ask him how he managed that one!”

“And of course we’ve got a rather nice horse called Marinaresco, that you may have heard of,” he says with a smile.

I’ve met wonderful people and it’s been a wonderful journey.

The highs are high and the lows are low, but it keeps you honest.”

Going To X Rated?

Justin Snaith’s quip after the Workriders Maiden Plate at Kenilworth on Saturday, where he saddled Tweak The Wind (S. Booi) for Eddie Powell on the veteran owner’s 70th birthday: “ These guys (the Grooms) work so hard and put in really long hours. They deserve the acknowledgement. The jockeys are lying on the beach or playing X-box…”

Business As Unusual

Trainer Dean Kannemeyer, who declared his Cape yard in the grips of a low-grade virus on 6 February, was full of the joys of late summer on Monday when announcing his horses all back in full work. “These things happen in racing yards and one has to take a transparent stance and play open cards with the owners and Joe Public.

I’m glad to say we are through it and I should send out my first runners within 10 days,” he said.

Theatre Of Dreams The most expensive yearling ever sold in Victoria, the most expensive yearling sold in the world this year and the most expensive yearling ever by star stallion I Am Invincible. A record-breaking Day 2 of the Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale on Monday saw Lot 259 sold for $1.4million to Ciaron Maher Bloodstock. The I Am Invincible x Soorena colt from the Gilgai Farm draft was the centrepoint of one of the greatest bidding duels ever witnessed at an Australian yearling sale. Maher outbid fellow Victorian trainer Robbie Griffiths, who ironically trains the colt’s Group 1-winning half-brother The Quarterback.

Hollywood?

Other than taxes and death, they say there are no guarantees in life. Beyond the fact maybe that Joey Ramsden’s first-timers will improve lengths at their second outing – if they are good enough!

The Querari filly Made In Hollywood, a half-sister to Joey Soma’s superfast Graduation Day, spreadeagled her field to win the Maiden 1200m by 6,25 lengths at Kenilworth on Saturday under Anton Marcus. Bred by Ian Heyns, the R450k buy races in a partnership of Brian & Kathy Finch, with Mayfair Speculators.

Warm Welcome The TBA Council have announced that Catherine Hartley will be joining the team at The Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association with responsibility for Breed Affairs.Catherine initiated the Beyond Racing programme to promote the thoroughbred to the equestrian field, and through Imagine Racing she has brought in new owners to racing. Earlier this year, Catherine took a leading role in the organisation of the ITBF Conference.

Catherine's responsibilities at the TBA will cover breeders’ seminars, transformation, industry liaison, stud book, awards, public relations etc. She took up duties on 1 March.

Racecaller Alistair Cohen, who was diagnosed with cancer late last year, was in good spirits this week after a scan revealed an improved positive health picture. The 26 year old has had a torrid time of it after his illness forced him to take a sabbatical while he undergoes treatment. “It’s obviously no fun doing this chemotherapy but besides a few nasty side effects it is not as bad as what some people have experienced. And after my scan last Tuesday, I feel a lot stronger.” Ali hopes to be back behind the mic in early April.

OUTSIDERS

By Nature?

Why are the Cape jockeys so determined to hug the outside rail, with metres of lush turf available on their inside?

Greg Cheyne and his mount Nebula were thankfully up on their feet shortly after a nasty incident in the Cape Mile at Kenilworth on Saturday. The Stipes have opened an inquiry and reported that Victorious Jay (Aldo Domeyer) was hanging out in the straight. They also say that approaching the 200m Nebula (who was full of running) was bumped outwards

by Milton (M J Byleveld). Nebula made contact with the outside running rail, became unbalanced and took an awkward stride, in so doing dislodging Cheyne.

Super Saturday The prep for Dubai World Cup day is the $1.8m Super Saturday meeting, held this Saturday March 4 at Meydan. As the official dress rehearsal for the Dubai World Cup it is a major social event. Mike de Kock has 3 entries in the $300 000 Gr1 Jebel Hatta – an 1800m turf race. Ertijaal, Light The Lights and Sanshaawes could line up there. Get your SP Digest on Thursday for the preview and racecards.

Trainer Stef Miller’s yard hit top form at the right time at Flamingo Park on Monday, winning 5 of the 10 races on the card.

It was Stef’s best day ever and made happier by the fact that 4 of the winners are owned by her brother, Francois du Toit.

O – Me, Oh My

He may already be an established international sire of 47 stakes winners – including 7 Gr1 winners – but there is nothing like plain good news on the eve of a sale. Oratorio’s smart son Secret Oration – the first winner from the Danehill sire’s first SA crop – maintained his unbeaten record with an eyecatching win at Fairview on Friday. The Grant Paddock-trained R125 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale buy looks to have a bright future. There are 7 Oratorio’s on the CTS March Yearling Sale – and 1 on the BSA Cape Yearling Sale.

The Winds Of Change

Summerveld Under Threat

The Big Stink

Gold Circle’s racing and marketing executive Graeme Hawkins said that the racing operator was working with trainers and vets to monitor the situation around the stench from the Shongweni landfill site - very close to Summerveld - but the operating company EnviroServ has denied that it is the sole source.

“We may not be able to prove it scientifically but we are worried that the fumes are the cause of the respiratory and haemorrhaging incidents and that this could impact on racing,” he said.

As reported in www.iol. co.za, the stench in the upper Highway area may jeopardise South Africa’s richest horse race, the Vodacom Durban July, as racehorses stabled at Summerveld suffer unusual nose bleeds and coughs.

The Comrades Marathon Association has also expressed concern, saying it is monitoring the air pollution ahead of the world’s most popular ultra-marathon in June.

Deaf Ears

Residents from Kloof, Dassenhoek, Hillcrest, KwaNdengezi, Shongweni and Assagay say they have complained about the smell for two years but nobody has listened.

Summerveld Estate manager Tony Rivalland said the past two years had been difficult with horses continually coming down with unusual aliments.

“Racehorses suffer from nose bleeds but, of late, horses are suffering from nose bleeds without being involved in strenuous exercise or injuring themselves.

“We’ve had some horses with bleeding noses while they are in a box and those that are coughing are taking longer to shake off the coughs, even on treatment.”

Grooms

Rivalland said many of the 550 grooms complained of itchy eyes, rashes and sore throats.

“We cannot prove that the fumes are the cause but we strongly believe there is a correlation between the fumes from the site and the symptoms in people and horses.”

Every year the estate houses an extra 130 horses from Cape Town who stay for four months to acclimatise ahead of the big races - the Vodacom Durban July being one.

Graeme Hawkins “It’s difficult to say if they will be affected but one thing I know for sure is no one wants to live with a stench like this on a daily basis,” said Rivalland.

Hillcrest became the hub of KwaZulu-Natal horseracing activities after the closure of Clairwood Racecourse in 2014.

Comrades

Comrades Marathon Association general manager Chris Fisher said they hoped the issue would be resolved before the race in June.

“At the moment we can’t say for sure that it will affect the race but we will monitor the situation.”

Athlete Sizwe Ngubane said he couldn’t train in the area.

“I felt sluggish all the time and my sinuses acted up.

It’s not wise to expose our pro-athletes to that. Possible damage to their lungs could ruin their careers. When I run Comrades I don’t want to run through that,” he said.

He said he thought athletes might pull out of the race if the issue remained unresolved.

Last year residents lodged formal complaints about the bad smell with the Department of Environmental Affairs which prompted an investigation.

Scorpions

The Green Scorpions initiated a criminal investigation after a search and seizure warrant was executed at the landfill site in September.

“It was found during the search that EnviroServ Waste Management (Pty) Ltd had failed to comply with the provisions of environmental law and certain conditions of the waste management licence,” said department spokesman Albi Modise.

A further notice was issued by the department citing the continued complaints levelled at the site as reasons to revoke or suspend the operating licence.

“We believe the department’s notice is legally, technically and procedurally flawed and have submitted our motivation as to why it should not be revoked or suspended,,” said EnviroServ’s chief executive Dean Thompson.

Coming from one who just published a bullish missive on the prospects for the normalisation of South Africa’s export protocols, this may come as a surprise.

Nothing has happened to alter my sentiments; I remain as upbeat as ever. That said, my illness last year concentrated my thoughts somewhat; I am at an age (probably well past it!) when I should be reflecting on what the rest of life has in store.

Remembering that we only live once, I don’t want to reach 80 regretting the things that haven’t been done.

F

or the bulk of us at Summerhill, our working day starts in the dark and ends the same way most days; horses have been our lives, and if you’re in it, you can’t be half pregnant.

I wouldn’t have had it any other way if I had the chance to do it again, but along the way I’ve neglected my family, my friends and much of what the world has to offer.

It’s time to recalibrate, to develop a fresh perspective and to devote more attention to the legacy projects we’ve embarked upon here, our educational programmes at the School of Management Excellence and our hospitality students at Hartford House.

Besides, I’ve been invited to play a more active role in

getting our export initiatives over the line with our international trading partners, which I’m only too pleased to do, having spent a good part of my career attempting to harmonise them.

In an already busy day, you can’t make space for these things without reducing your concentration on others and in the Summerhill context, that means a reduction in the horse population.

Parting with some of the old broodmare families that have earned us our championships is emotional enough, but it also comes with the tragedy of job reduction. Numbers of the people who work here, have done so for generations; we’ve seen their kids grow up, in many cases we’ve educated them, and in

the process we’ve become firm friends. I need hardly add that they’re among the finest industry professionals I know, and having travelled to most of the great farms of the world, I’d put them with the best anywhere; for that reason alone, it’s the most torturous choice I’ve ever had to make.

That said, there is a certain inevitability to these things, and it’s a source of great pride to us that we’ve populated other farms and hospitality establishments across the land and abroad, with outstanding graduates of our endeavours here.

The most recent examples rest in the recruitment by Bloodstock South Africa of Heather Morkel and Catherine Hartley, and the

appointment of Hazel Kayiya as the International Racing Manager at the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

There is never a good time to make these decisions and now is as tough as any. We have been ever mindful of our place in the breeding affairs not only of our province, but of the country as a whole; we are also conscious of our role as the biggest employers in our district. Those thoughts have been in our minds for a long time, and makes this announcement all the more difficult. We are not going anywhere however; we just need to tidy up our numbers.

For the most part though, our people are young and enterprising enough to make a fresh start, and for those that remain behind, they will be concentrating their game on the horses belonging to a clientele whose loyalty and friendship deserves no less.

The next few months will be hard for everyone here, as we make the adjustments that come with a transition of this nature. When it’s all over, hopefully we can smell the roses again. And get to know some of you a bit better once more.

US Star For World Cup

Mike de Kock’s dream of winning a race that has eluded him for many a long year has taken a sobering left hook with the news that Hall Of Fame trainer Bob Baffert has decided to travel to Dubai with Gr1 Pegasus World Cup winner Arrogate.

De Kock has never shied away from taking on the best and after his 2016 Dubai World Cup runner-up Mubtaahij prepped beautifully last Thursday - after a long break - with a second in the Curlin Handicap, 2017 looked to be the multiple SA champion conditioner’s year to lift the $10 million Gr1 Dubai World Cup trophy.

The 4yo Arrogate burst on to the scene with a powerhouse wire-to-wire score in the GrI Travers Stakes at Saratoga last August and added a win over 2016 Horse of the Year California Chrome at the World Championships at Santa Anita in November, before beating the now retired champion again in the Pegasus at end January.

After an impressive workout on Monday at Santa Anita, where he clocked a mile in 1:38.40, a thrilled Baffert said that he would travel for the Dubai World Cup on 25 March, together with 2016 DWC third placed Hoppertunity.

Mubtaahij will not have another run before the big night.

Karoo Donkey Sanctuary

I

This week’s story started out looking like one that Nobody would do anything about and ended up being one where Everybody pulled together.

It reaffirmed my faith in humanity in general, but in the racing fraternity in particular.

’ve shared this little gem of wisdom before, but it is worth retelling.

This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did. Somebody got angry because it was Everybody’s job.

Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized Everybody wouldn’t. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

It all started back in mid-January with news of a livestock auction in a town called Hartswater in the Northern Cape. The auction, offering an unusually large draft of horses and donkeys, attracted widespread attention thanks to the power of social media and an incredible network of people who worked hard to spread the news.

Why the fuss?

It seems there are people who believe (incorrectly) that the gelatin contained in donkey skins has medicinal properties. This has created a market for skins that is driving a grizzly industry on our very doorstep. However, unlike animals that are more commonly used for consumption, we do not have the formal infrastructure to slaughter donkeys humanely. Setting aside whether the concept of ‘humane slaughter’ is not an oxymoron, the demand and increasingly high prices being offered are resulting in theft and donkeys are being killed by methods that are beyond disturbing.

In the days leading up to the auction, photos surfaced on Facebook as concerned parties tried to document what was going on and rally support. Yes, South Africa has been in the grips of a drought, but even so, the nature of the photos made you wonder out loud what is WRONG with the world. As I stared in open-mouthed horror at the starvation, neglect and wide-eyed terror – or worse, the hollow-eyed indifference - I repeated those words, followed by ‘somebody should do something’. As it turned out, somebody did.

Somebody

They say there are leaders and there are followers. If you are confused about where you fit in, get out the way. Enter Johnno Sherwin. Before he achieved his current notoriety, Johnno was a fairly normal guy with a fairly normal job. Approximately 4 years ago, Johnno and his partner purchased a 20 ha slice of paradise just outside Prince Albert as a retreat from their 9-5 lives.

The ‘donkey thing’ began when the Karoo Animal Protection Society received a welfare case including 50 donkeys and Johnno and his partner adopted four. “We realised how special and sentient they are. They are such special creatures we just fell in love with them,” he says.

Johnno progressed to serving on the board for the Cart Horse Protection Association which focuses on Cape Town’s working equids and confiscated donkeys started finding their way to Prince Albert. Johnno soon had a permanent herd of 22 and it was becoming more than they could cope with on their own, so in July 2016 they made it official, registering the Karoo Donkey Sanctuary (KDS) as an NPO to enable them to formally go to the market for crowd funding, virtual adoption, etc.

Hartswater

“Facebook followers alerted me to the Hartswater auction, which was one of the largest auctions of horses and donkeys ever seen,” explains Johnno. “We all went up the day before

to see what was going on. I expected a dire situation, but the reality was 100 times worse.” A wide variety of animals arrived in unsuitable, unsafe transport, often bound for the journey.

The ones that arrived uninjured didn’t stay that way for long as the crowded conditions and rough handling meant many animals were hurt after arrival.

Johnno continues,”On auction day, it was clear it was all about weight and meat. As each animal came into the ring, it was put on a scale and its weight displayed on a big screen along with its meat price of approx. R15/kg.”

Perhaps most upsetting, mares and foals were separated in order to be sold as individual lots and the air was filled with the calls of distressed animals.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 3rd - SUNDAY 5th MARCH 2017

with Steve Furnish

Off To A Flyer A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

Fairview 24 February

Turffontein 23 February

gamely after being headed, he got back up 150m out.

The only other race to be run was a work rider’s maiden plate over 1600m and here the 4yo MISS WALES won a lot more easily than the official winning margin of 1,9 lengths would suggest.

Content to sit eighth of the ten for most of the journey, Geoff Woodruff’s charge was visibly cruising throughout. Work rider Goodman Dadamasi was already looking around for challengers as they took up the running 200m out, and they went on to score with a ton in hand.

TITBITS

The newcomer GREEN TOP ran on well from off the pace when winning the opening maiden juvenile plate over 1200m going away.

The easiest victory in Port Elizabeth on Friday was undoubtedly that of the aptly named CLEAR SAILING in the feature event, the listed Lady’s Pendant over 1200m. Freely available at 11/2 on the off the joint top weight raced in midfield early on. She put her head in front going through the 400m, and after quickly going clear she won very easily by three and a half.

Three of the afternoon’s nine races were run over 1400m and stopping the clock in the fastest time amongst these was KINGVOLDT when registering his fifth career victory in the MR100 Handicap. Easy to back at 10/1 on the off, the son of Western Winter was always handy. He took up the running shortly after passing the 200m marker and kept on strongly in the closing stages of the race to beat the running on AFRIKABURN by a length and a quarter.

Quickest home in the two 1000m races was JUAN TWO THREE in the MR100 Handicap.

Sent off a strong favourite at 11/10, Alan Greeff’s charge led throughout. He ran on strongly at the business end of the race and although his stable companion THAYER tried his best to make a race of it, he did have that one held at the wire.

TITBITS

The 4yo KASHMIRA didn’t find the clearest of passages en-route from the backend of midfield when getting up late to win the maiden plate for the girls over 1400m.

The Signs Were There The going was already soft at Thursday’s inner track meeting, and with rain falling quite heavily at times the meeting was abandoned after five races. Two of the five that were staged took place over 1200m and quickest home in these was EGO AMIGO when getting off the mark in the maiden plate. Sporting blinkers for the first time, in this his third run after a rest, the 8/1 shot was always handy. He put his head in front shortly after passing the 200m marker and won going away by a length and a half.

They also ran two races over 2600m and in a time almost six seconds faster than that of the maiden plate, the MR78 Handicap was the fastest. The improving DETONATION had been backed into the red prior to the off and on striking the front 350m from home, the Dynasty gelding looked to have done everything right. FORTUNE FELLA had struck the front shortly before that though and rallying

d ’s Top Rate Last Week 'S winners incl.

ATING SPEED R WON 9/1

As has become the norm, they raced on the poly track on Friday evening. Three of the eight races were staged over 1400m and by far the fastest of these was the MR62 Handicap won by ASTROMAN. Positioned in the backend of midfield as the eleven runners swung for home, Frank Robinson’s charge ran on best of all in the straight. He struck the front as they approached the 200m marker, and after fending off a determined challenge from the uneasy favourite, he went on to score comfortably by a length.

The faster of the two 1900m events was a MR70 Handicap and here victory went to Sporting Post’s top bet NIGHT CIRCUS. Freely available at 2/1 on the off, the top weighted son of Mambo In Seattle was soon positioned

close to the speed. He put his head in front early in the straight and kept on strongly late to beat the running on FIRST APOSTLE by a neck.

Sporting Post was also on the mark with their each way value bet when CLASS ACT put up a very gutsy performance to win the MR66 affair over 1000m. Taken straight to the front by apprentice Moodley, the 15/1 shot led throughout. She looked like being swamped halfway down the straight, but answering every call she kept finding, and held on by the narrowest of margins.

TITBITS

After being hampered 300m out, the 35/1 shot ACE PILOT produced a fair turn of foot when getting up late to win the maiden plate over 1200m.

Plenty Of Mettle Turffontein 26 February

This was the meeting originally scheduled to take place on Saturday 25th February.

The going was good to soft on Sunday where four of the nine races were run over 1450m.

Comfortably the quickest home amongst these was the 4yo THE SMELL OF RAIN in the MR85 Handicap. Always available at around 8/1, Erico Verdonese’s charge sat seventh for most of the journey. She quickened well coming off the strip and won going away by a length and a quarter after striking the front 120m from home.

The faster of the two 1600m apprentice handicaps was the MR70 affair in which the consistent POST GRAD gained a deserved fourth career victory. More often than not seen running on stoutly from off the pace,

the 5yo Announce gelding raced close up in second here. He struck the front early in the short home straight and went on to score with authority from SPACE TORNADO. By far the easiest victory on the card was that of COLD CASH in the opening maiden plate over 1800m. Ridden to lead coming off the strip, Johan Janse Van Vuuren’s charge cruised clear over the final 400m and won going away by ten and a quarter.

TITBITS

Drawn wide and slow into stride to boot, KNYSNA ROSE ran on stoutly from the backend of midfield, and gaining quickly at the finish was only beaten a neck.

Lightly raced YELLOW METAL won the MR89 Handicap for 3yo’s over 1200m with some in hand by a length.

BROODMARE OF THE YEAR PROSPECTS

The influence of Danehill was truly felt in last week’s Gr1 Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield. The champion sire can be found in the pedigrees of 12 of the 14 runners in the race. To boot, just one runner (Aspect) had a pedigree free of Danehill’s sire Danzig.

T

he first three home in the Blue Diamond, one of the world’s richest races for 2yos, are all by sons of Danehill, with the fourth out of a mare by Danehill’s son Rock Of Gibraltar. Not that this should surprise in any way. Danehill appears in nine of the last ten Blue Diamond Stakes winners, a race in which his son Redoute’s Choice has enjoyed particular success. The triple Australian champion sire won the race himself in 1999 and is sire of winners Undoubtedly and Nadeem, while his son Not A Single Doubt also got a pair of winners with Miracles Of Life and Extreme Choice.

The 2017 G1 Blue Diamond winner Catchy (the 27th Gr1 winner for champion sire Fastnet Rock) is one of a growing number of Gr1 winners inbred to Danzig. They include Kentucky Derby winner I’ll Have Another (Flower Alley), and Fastnet Rock’s high class stakes winners Albany Reunion (Gr1 Easter Handicap), Atlante (Gr1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas), and Valentia. Catchy and Albany Reunion are both out of

mares by Fusaichi Pegasus, who also is damsire of Golden Slipper winner Capitalist and closer to home of SA Gr1 winning half sisters Cloth Of Cloud and Silver Mountain.

Inbreeding to Danzig in South Africa is also found in dual Gr1 winner Buy And Sell, Tony Ruffel Stakes winner Belong To Me, and the smart filly Jackodore. Equus Champions Entisaar and Harry’s Son (both Australian-bred) are also inbred to Danzig.

Danehill’s Gr1 success was not limited to the Blue Diamond this weekend, with sons Blackfriars and Holy Roman Emperor responsible for Gr1 Futurity Stakes winner Black Hart Bart and Gr1 Oakleigh Plate winner Sheidel (the first three home in the Oakleigh Plate have Danehill close up).

With a number of promising sires (notably Frankel) out of mares by Danehill, one can but speculate about how dominant this sire line could yet be. Currently three of the

top five sires (Snitzel, Fastnet Rock and Not A Single Doubt) in Australia are Danehill line descendants.

WINX GETS THE NOD When champion Australian mare, Winx (Street Cry), landed Saturday’s Chipping Norton Stakes, it was the 10th Gr1 win for the mare. To give a little perspective, since 1970 Miesque (Nureyev) and Goldikova (Anabaa) stand as the sole European trained horses to win more than 10 Gr1 races. Undefeated champion Frankel won exactly 10 G1 races during his career.

Interestingly, Street Cry’s other champion daughter Zenyatta, won 13 Gr1 races. Other horses this century to have picked up 10 or more Gr1 victories include undefeated Black Caviar (15), Azeri (11), Lonhro (11), Sunline (13) and Wise Dan (10). By comparison, US Triple Crown winner American Pharoah (Pioneerof The Nile) won eight and champion Sea The Stars (Cape Cross) picked up six.

To Abandon Or Not…

‘No Paycheck Worth It’ A decision by the jockeys to refuse to ride further at last Thursday’s Turffontein meeting has created a social media furore, with the system and processes – and possibly even our principles – under the magnifying glass.

A

delegation of jockeys expressed their concerns with regard to the track conditions and whether it was safe to continue riding after the fifth race at Turffontein.

A panel was formed in terms of NHA rule 5.2.3 comprising the Phumelela race day representative, two stipendiary stewards, the NHA veterinary surgeon, the track manager, two trainers and two jockeys.

Following a track inspection the jockeys’ representatives remained of the opinion that the track was unsafe to continue racing on.

Interestingly, the remainder of the panel voted unanimously to continue racing.

However, the jockeys, when informed of this decision, were unwilling to continue riding and the balance of the race meeting was abandoned.

If one considers the injury and life risk attached to the 55kg odd human being on the back of a 500kg horse galloping at speed on a dodgy surface, we can hardly blame the jockeys for exercising their right of veto over whether to continue with the meeting or not.

Wife Speaks The wife of one of our top riders who rode at the

LEADING SIRE of 2yo’s by stakes*

meeting said the following in response to a comment that they were overpaid: A Medical Journal of Australia study has found that being a jockey is more dangerous than being a boxer, with only the job of an offshore fisherman having more risk to lives.

So exactly what would you like to be paid for risking your life every 40min on race day?

Average or exceptional they all fall equally as hard. And guess what? at this point the insurance companies want to stop insuring jocks due to the high risk. If something happens, Is your opinion going to feed my kids then?

No paycheck will ever bring

our husbands, fathers, sons back if God forbid anything should happen Not to mention that the horses get hurt, sometimes fatally. Never mind that an owner has spent thousands a month keep for it for years for it to be destroyed.

But hey as long as you get to have some fun, punting from the grandstand.

Goose Talks Vaal trainer Louis Goosen wrote: "The crux of the matter on Thursday was about safety, from a riders point of view, such viewpoint which riders are entitled to have and such viewpoint as which cannot be challenged by anyone who has not ridden a horse on that surface at that time.

It’s quite funny actually, watching grown men walking on the Turf during the panel inspection, after jocks protest

LEADING SIRE of 2yo’s

by INDIVIDUAL WINNERS

LATEST: 2yo Autumn In Seattle - a 2nd career win, Scottsville

Even though the 2016/17 racing season is only halfway, already a case can be made for a few champion broodmare candidates.

One of those is Pagan Princess (Fort Wood), dam of 2016 Gr1 winners Real Princess (Trippi) and William Longsword (Captain Al). The mare continues the great run of success of Fort Wood mares at stud – their offspring now includes three of the past five Cape Guineas winners (Capetown Noir and Noah From Goa the other two).

While she is yet to produce a Gr1 winner, the mare So Royal (Kahir Almaydan) got her fourth individual stakes winner when Royal Badge (Go Deputy) won the Cape Summer Stayers Handicap. All of her black type winners are by different stallions.

Helleborus Blue (Cee’s Tizzy) looks a shoe-in to add to her Gr1 winner The Hangman (Jallad) with another son, Trip To Heaven (Trippi), who is the highest rated sprinter this season.

Gypsy Queen (Royal Chalice) made it graded winner number three when Romany Prince (Kahal) won the Gr3 London News Stakes. He follows US Gr1 winner Gypsy’s Warning (Mogok) and Gr2 Camellia Stakes winner Surabi (Wolfhound), who has outperformed her Oaks winning sisters Noble Destiny and Royal Prophecy at stud.

Time will tell.

and then stamping on it, trying in vain to emulate the downforce of a horse’s hoof – 2500 psi!

We may have forgotten or chosen to forget that the day started with a pen reading of 26, which was already wet!

Rain fell during racing, on same already wet course, thus making it a lot worse. We may not have noticed the horses wavering during the running of previous race, before the meeting was called off.

We may choose to ignore the fact that we race on Kikuyu grass up here in Gauteng and that we have our own local challenges on each course. Of course, it is easy to compare our going to that of other courses from other centres or from overseas, whilst we sit in our armchairs, being the self proclaimed greatest jockeys of all time…

The bottom line is that the day started out as rain effected, with a pen reading to prove it. Further rain fell during racing, resulting in many horses slipping. For

the sake of safety of horse and rider, the meeting was abandoned, based upon what the riders felt from on top of their rides.

Good Enough There was no need for any ‘unanimous ‘ decision.

The jocks felt unsafe. That’s enough of a reason to abandon the meeting.

And then, of course, let’s blame the jocks too for the dip/fall in the pull up area, after the finish line at Turffontein - when wet it is a hazard and nothing else.

But after many years of calling for it to be levelled, absolutely nothing has been done…….

Regular poster and former trainer Ian Jayes had the last word: "About three years ago I was forced to vacate my boxes at the Vaal by Phumelela who did not give a reason for doing so. The way I see things now they may well have done me a favour.

I am now 77 years old and prefer to be a spectator.
