Kissable won her two previous starts by a combined 15 lengths, racing upfront – can anything challenge her?

RUFFIAN STAKES (LISTED) at Turffontein this Saturday

T

Favourites have a great record in the Ruffian Stakes, a R150k Listed sprint for 2yo’s, over 1000m up the Turffontein stand-side straight. In the last five years all the favourites won: two at odds-on, two at 12/10, and the fifth at 3/1 in a field of fifteen.

hat said, big outsiders do place, as shown by 125/1 Nomvula in 2015, and 45/1 Virgo’s Babe (2nd) and 66/1 Crown Bearer (3rd) in 2013.

The 2017 renewal pitches eight fillies against each other, of which two are unraced and compete at a lower weight. One of these is trained by Louis Goosen, who knows a good thing when he sees one. Named Eurithmics, the filly is a full sister to highclass sprinter Gulf Storm.

What’s more, her sire is Sail From Seattle, the runaway leader on the log of sires of 2yo’s this season. Any betting support for Eurythmics must be respected.

The other unraced one is Kenna, a Horse Chestnut filly trained by Alec Laird for Chris Gerber – who are no strangers to planned success, either.

In this case, too, the market might speak.

The charge to glory is led by two unbeaten 2-time winners, Daring Diva and Kissable. Both won their races making the pace. Kissable especially has been impressive racing that way, winning by six and seven lengths, and the last time starting at odds of 1/7 in a field of six. On our ratings she looks the proverbial penalty kick with a 93, but she carries 60kg – 5kg or 10 points

more than the two newcomers.

Which means that a rating of 83 can equal 93. That said, in a 1000m sprint with lightning fast front runners, races are won at the start . The newcomers cannot afford a moment’s hesitation coming out of the gate, because both Daring Diva and Kissable will be long gone.

La Bella Mia was beaten seven lengths by Kissable on debut in January. She has since made amends with an excellent win on Guineas-day. She should be a lot closer to Kissable this time, in receipt of 2kg. Lolita deLago won her last start, at the fourth time of trying. She has raced with the pace the last two times. Sean Tarry and S’manga Khumalo team up with Lolita, who finished on a par with la Bella Mia when Kissable won.

Chances are she’ll improve on her rating.

Spies-trained stable companions Outlander and Star Profile make up the balance. Both have won one of their three starts, and jockey arrangements seem to suggest that Outlander is the stable elect. The latter ran way below her previous two efforts, the last of which was an 8 length victory over this course and distance, making the pace.

With four of the six previously raced fillies having shown pacemaking speed, there should be no hanging about here. It’s possible for the front runners to ‘kill’ each other, going too fast early, from which a hold-up horse might benefit.

Whichever way it goes, it should be a speed spectacle to behold.

RA Trumps Sporting Post

R

No more interaction, because “SP chooses to publish mostly sensational and unsubstantiated articles based on the opinions of persons who are negative towards the sport of racing”

A CEO Wainstein’s recent statement that the increased stakes for this year’s Queen’s Plate and Sun Met came from the RA (“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.”) raised questions in a number of quarters.

On 8 February 2017, we emailed the RA asking who serves on the stakes committee (if there is such a thing) and who made the decision to up the Queen’s Plate and Met stakes. After receiving a letter regarding Industry Liaison Meetings and the representation of Grooms Associations on the ILM, we enquired as to the RA’s role and involvement in that capacity as well.

The RA’s Merle Parker responded to ask that the queries be directed to Mr Wainstein as he is handling media inquiries directly, which we did. Following additional reader queries regarding the stakes issue, we followed up with a second email dated 9 February 2017.

With no response forthcoming, we followed up again on 6 March 2017 with the following:As advised by Merle Parker, I am contacting you in your capacity as media liaison.

Firstly, a follow up to my email of 9 February with regards to Stakes (and another request / reminder for a copy of the stakes agreement that you promised previously). The query was to ask who serves on the stakes committee and also to clarify your statement that the cash to raise the stake for both the Queen's Plate and Met has come from RA coffers - is that correct or is it not?

Secondly, I am enquiring with regards to Industry Liaison meetings. It seems some information has got onto the African Betting Clan. Notwithstanding whatever the fuss is about, I'll repeat my question of a few weeks ago as to why Industry Liaison meetings are an RA function and why are they exclusively chaired and controlled by the RA? Why is the content of Industry Liaison meetings confidential?

Thirdly, I believe it was a Government mandate that grooms' associations be represented at Industry Liaison meetings - why do they not attend?

On 7 March 2017, Mr Wainstein, in his capacity of CEO of the Racing Assocition, furnished us with the following:In response to your email of 6 March 2017 I wish to respond as follows: • The Boards of the Racing Association and the Thoroughbred Horseracing Trust have both taken a decision not to interact with the Sporting Post.

• The reason for the decisions by these Boards is due to the fact that in their opinion, the Sporting Post chooses to publish mostly sensational and unsubstantiated articles based on the opinions of persons who are negative towards the sport of racing.

• Further, these two Boards do not respond to other social media platforms whose main purpose is to criticise, make personal innuendoes and insult persons dedicatd to all aspects of the industry.

• I wish to place on record that I am answerable to the RA Board and to the RA members only and further, to make it clear that I am under no obligation to answer to you or the Sporting Post.

Mr Wainstein’s response is disappointing as via the relationship between Phumelela, the Thoroughbred Horseracing Trust and the RA, Mr Wainstein is directly responsible for the management and administration of stakes. As the RA is allegedly also taking charge of Industry Liaison Meetings, he is also in the driving seat as far as this function is concerned.

The racing community funds the RA (and its salary bill) partly with membership fees, but mostly by way of contributions from our nomination and acceptance monies (approx R10 million annually). That means that the RA is funded by any colour holder who has ever paid nomination or acceptance fees for horses running anywhere in the country (with the exception of KZN), regardless of whether they are an RA member or not. That is as compelling a reason as any to regard this organisation as not only a servant to owners, but also accountable to all owners for their actions.

Secondly, the RA acts in an administrative capacity for the Thoroughbred Horseracing Trust (usually referred to as the Racing Trust). The Trust is funded by the dividends it earns from its controlling shares in Phumelela. The Trust is paid those dividends with the mandate of safeguarding the interests of racing.

The Trust is run by a board which, according to the latest RA Annual Report, currently constitutes Brian Finch (Chairman), Johann du Plessis, Mark Currie, Chris Gerber, Louis du Preez, Gideon Sam and Vinesh Maharaj. Five of the Trustees are nominated by the RA and two by SASCOC. Between the Racing Trust and therefore by default, the Racing Association, they administer the all important Stakes Agreement with Phumelela, which controls the level of stakes.

Altogether a pretty compelling reason to expect them to be transparent.

New Kids On The Block

Smart debut winner Alfolk looks promising

STORM BIRD STAKES (LISTED) at Turffontein this Saturday The programming of two juvenile features slap bang in the middle of the Turffontein Pick 6 on Saturday may have punters crying foul. A lack of form, merit ratings and 2yo’s natural scope to improve lengths with each start will make for an interesting assessment.

W

hile the National Horseracing Authority maintain shadow ratings which are only made known as and when the youngsters run in handicaps from April onwards, the SP ratings will be a solid guide to where to start.

The R150 000 Listed Storm Bird Stakes hosts a field of eight colts and geldings over the 1000m sprint, and with six winners in the line-up and no obvious standout in the field, it looks quite wide open.

Topping the SP ratings is the recently gelded Quinlan from that top trainer of babies, Corne Spies.

The son of Sail From Seattle – our leading sire of 2yo’s – has had two starts and scored well over the course and

distance second time of asking in a fair time of 57,51 secs.

Mike de Kock, who enjoyed an outstanding day at this venue last Saturday, sends out two runners.

Punta Cana, a R1, 4 million son of Trippi has been rested 13 weeks since his debut win beating Silver God easily.

He showed good pace and is bound to be thereabouts again.

Good Win Stablemate Alfolk, an Aussie bred son of Lonhro, also scored well on his Vaal debut more recently.

He beat the Brett Webbertrained Crassus by 2,75 lengths and will again be ridden by stable first-choice jockey, Callan Murray.

As a maiden, the Imperial Stride colt Crassus comes in 3kgs better off here and given that he may have improved further comes into the picture.

Paul Peter’s Alpine Echo is another son of Sail From Seattle and steps up 200m after his debut over the minimum cut on Christmas Eve when beating the exciting Desert Rhythm.

The latter subsequently ran a second before beating Saturday’s winner Star Profile at his third start. That gives Alpine Echo’s win some credibility here.

The second of the Spies trio is Tribal Force a very speedy son of Antonius Pius who won on debut beating subsequent winner, the highly thought of Whorly Whorly.

Top Jock Weichong Marwing is an interesting jockey booking.

Sean Tarry won this race last year and saddles Barrack Street, who has his first run at home.

The son of Dynasty – a half brother to stallion Jasy Peg – won readily on a well supported 800m debut and was considered decent enough to try for the Kuda Sprint on Sun Met day.

He was beaten 5 lengths there by Bold Respect after being hampered and may well be a few points better than rated.

Mr Fire Eyes is the third of the Corne Spies trio and one of two maidens in the race.

He made his debut in the same race as Alfolk and never showed anything, finishing 7 lengths behind.

Ratings Based on our ratings, Quinlan could be the one to be with, with the De Kock duo of Alfolk and Punta Cana next best.

Barrack Street ran a decent race in the Kuda Sprint and although likely to need further in time, could play a role.

The 2017 Cheltenham Festival is held from Tuesday to Friday next week with the Cheltenham Gold Cup being run on Friday. Over 200 000 racegoers from all over the world are expected on course with more than £500 million to be gambled throughout the week.

arry Geraghty’s injury misfortune has turned into Mark Walsh’s opportunity and the Co Kildare jockey can look forward to an enviable book of Cheltenham festival rides for owner JP McManus next week that include the prime Champion Hurdle fancy, Yanworth.

With Noel Fehily set to team up with McManus’s other Champion Hurdle contender, Buveur D’Air, and the hot Stayers Hurdle favourite, Unowhatimeanharry, the McManus team are backing their Irish-based understudy to step up to the festival plate despite Walsh never having won there before.

Geraghty’s injuries, sustained over a week ago, initially threw riding plans for McManus’s large festival raiding party into disarray.

But it has been confirmed that Walsh will team up with both Yanworth and Uxizandre (likely to line up in the Ryanair Chase) for trainer Alan King and he keeps the Gold Cup ride on the Jonjo O’Neill-trained More Of That having ridden him in last month’s Irish Gold Cup. Among other Grade One rides Walsh can look forward to is Jezki as McManus’s racing manager, Frank Berry, said: “Noel Fehily will ride Unowhatimeanharry in the Stayers and it’s more than likely Jezki will run in that race too. Mark Walsh will ride him.”

Walsh has tasted Grade One success for McManus in the past, including a memorable Irish Gold Cup victory on Carlingford Lough last year and he was supported into 12-1 in betting for the leading jockey award next week.

Aidan Coleman is another jockey who is likely to be employed

by McManus next week and he is already pencilled in for the ride on the Champion Hurdle outsider, My Tent Or Yours, and Minella Rocco in the Gold Cup.

A Legend’s 3000 Magic Piere Strydom (striped cap) drives Janoobi powerfully to hold the late challenge of Al Sahem (Anthony Delpech) in a thriller

South African horseracing stands united in a proud salute to Mike de Kock – the Alberton born son of a car salesman who took over the yard of the late Ricky Howard-Ginsberg in 1987 and went on to win eight National championship titles.

HAMISH NIVEN

O

ver three decades, De Kock has mostly single handedly changed the way the international racing community perceives us – and it is quite ironic that on the Mike de Kock very day that he notched up his 3000 winner milestone, he was thousands of miles from home base, campaigning at the Guineas, the first leg proper Super Saturday meeting in Dubai – one of his favourite hunting of the SA Triple Crown, but the lack of numbers gave no grounds.

His son Matthew has taken over the responsibility in Dad’s notice of the thriller that was absence and celebrated a hat-trick on Gauteng Guineas day – to unfold.

Oozing his trademark saddling Rafeef to win the Gr2 Hawaii Stakes, Nother Russia to win the Gr3 Acacia Handicap – and finally Janoobi, who confidence, the legendary who reached dramatically clicked the timer over to the magical 3000 in the Strydom, his personal 5000 winner Gr2 Gauteng Guineas.

Only nine 3yo’s lined up in the R1 million Gr2 Gauteng milestone in November 2014,

Y

took Janoobi out to lead from the break – and the pair were never headed.

Racing in the blue and white of Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid al Maktoum, carried to victory by Rafeef earlier in the Hawaii Stakes, Janoobi showed guts and courage, prompted by the urgings and fine balance of the ever competitive Strydom.

At the 50m mark it looked like De Kock may have to wait another day. But in a drive to the wire, Janoobi stayed on with massive heart to beat the flying Al Sahem by a head in a time of 99,82 secs – versus the girls’ 100,47 secs a half hour earlier.

The winner’s stablemate Heavenly Blue took forever to get going and was beaten just over a length back into third.

Tilbury Fort snuck ahead of Matador Man – who had to be reshod at the start –

to make it a De Kock – Tarry dominated quartet.

Gr3 Graham Beck Stakes winner Doosra never showed, running close on double digit lengths behind the winner.

An elated Strydom, who had previously won on Janoobi and ran fourth on him in the Cape Guineas, said that the son of Silvano was ‘a different horse today’.

“He didn’t pull hard out front like he usually does. And he feels like he has grown – he is a short, stocky horse. I am so pleased to have been aboard at this big win for Mike de Kock,” he said.

Matthew de Kock paid tribute to his Dad – who, he said, had ‘come from nothing’, He thanked the team and said that Piere Strydom was the man to have aboard ‘at times like this’.

Bremner & Greeff Dominate

Matchett’s Back

IBHAYI STAKES (LISTED) Fairview Friday

AQUANAUT H (L) Turffontein

vette Bremner and apprentice Lyle Hewitson enjoyed a red letter day at Fairview on Friday, teaming up with four winners – including the R150 000 Listed Ibhayi Stakes with the smart 3yo, Gimme The Stars.

But extraordinarily, Ms Bremner was not the major winning trainer on the day – that honour fell to local champion Alan Greeff who trained the balance of the card – five winners in all, with Andrew Fortune riding three and Charles Ndlovu two, in the absence of the injured Greg Cheyne.

The young Avontuur-sponsored Hewitson is blazing his way towards his first SA champion apprentice title and his partnership with Bremner – for whom his for former jockey Dad, Carl, works as an assistant – has been a fruitful one.

The combination struck early in the day – reeling off a genuine hat trick in the opening three races, including the obviously talented Sail From Seattle 2yo Via Seattle, who maintained her unbeaten record, registering her second win in the first. She is one of 9 individual juvenile winners for the deceased Ascot Stud stallion.

But the yard’s major success of the afternoon was Bryn Ressell, Hedley McGrath and Mark Wright’s talented Gimme The Stars, who scored a convincing win in the feature, to prove he could develop into something decent

on the green – his 3 previous wins all achieved on the poly.

Lyle Hewitson had Gimme The Stars relaxed four lengths back on the rail as Cape raider Cock-A-Hoop led Story Of My Life for home.

At the 350m marker, Story Of My Life passed Cock –A-Hoop, with Gimme The Stars being switched out for a run.

With the top two looking set to hammer things out, Hewitson switched whip hands and Gimme The Stars responded sweetly – changing legs and taking off late.

The gelding gathered himself beautifully and ran on powerfully to beat Cock-A-Hoop by 0,25 lengths in a time of 85,26 secs.

Green Lantern stayed on for third, marginally ahead of the game Story Of My Life, who faded very late.

A R250 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 purchase, Gimme The Stars has earned R262 150 from his 4 wins with 5 places from 10 starts.

A fourth stakes winner for More Than Ready stallion Gimmethegreenlight, Gimme The Stars was bred by Patricia Devine Investments from the one-time winning Jet Master mare, Cosmic Jet. The Alan Greeff yard were in fine form, with their five winners. with the good son of Bankable, Thayer, finding his feet in the MR 100 Handicap, to beat a good field of speedsters.

I

t has been a long time between feature race drinks for trainer Paul Matchett.

But the veteran broke the two year plus drought with a promising staying sort to bring the curtain down on the Guineas Day feature programme at Turffontein on Saturday.

They say when they stay they always have a chance and Matchett’s Archipenko gelding showed solid stamina on the sticky underfoot conditions that made the 2450m of the R150 000 Listed Aquanau Handicap an even more testing one.

Randal Simons rode a well judged race on the nicely bred individual who is maturing into a longhauler with good potential.

Royal Honour stayed on powerfully at 8-1 to beat Save The Rhino by 0,80 lengths in a time of 1558,62 secs.

The winning margin may have flattered the runner-up. Ilitshe boosted the quartets, by staying on for third.

Bred by Ascot Stud, Royal Honour is a 4yo gelded son of Archipenko out of the unraced Medicean mare, Reputable. The latter is a half-sister to a US Gr1 winner.

Royal Honour has won 5 races with 7 places from 21 starts for stakes of R376 220.

The winner looks set to have the 3200m Caradoc Gold Cup on Classic Day and the 2850m Gold Bowl on Champions Day as his next targets.

Janoobi has won 4 races with 2 places from 9 starts for stakes of R1 557 500.

Bred by Maine Chance Farms, he is by Silvano out of the well related unraced Rakeen mare, Shasta Daisy.

Mike de Kock trained his first and only SA Triple Crown winner, Horse Chestnut, 18 years ago. The second leg of the prestigious series is the R2-million Gr1 SA Classic to be run over 1800m at Turffontein on 1 April.

Janoobi may well be back for that – but he may have to conserve his energy as Al Sahem looks very special and will relish the extra. But never underestimate Strydom.

The third leg is the R2 million Gr1 SA Derby to be run over 2450m on Saturday 6 May. Who knows what water will flow under the bridge before then?

A diminutive daughter of Captain Al gets thrown into the mile deep end by Justin Snaith at Fairview on Friday. If she stays, she should just about win it. he return match of the top two rated The Merry Widow and Star Burst Galaxy in the R150 000 Listed Breeders Guineas at Fairview on Friday looks to be a highlight on a quality ten-race programme.

With Alan Greeff in such hot form, it would be folly to discount his charge Beataboutthebush, who is lurking in the shadows as a less exposed galloper and a definite threat to the higher rated duo.

They say that dynamite comes in small packages – there is nothing much of her, but Snaith’s The Merry Widow is very smart.

She won her first three starts from 800m-1200m, including a Listed race, before being beaten a half lengths in a Gr3 over 1200m.

Quiet Her KZN Champions Season campaign followed and didn’t deliver much – but she has found her feet here in the Eastern Cape and won the Breeders Guineas Plate last time, with the fast finishing Star Burst Galaxy just under a length behind her.

With Richard Fourie taking over from the suspended Gavin Lerena, they meet on the same terms over 200m further on Friday – The Merry Widow wasn’t stopping and Star Burst Galaxy was finishing well.

The latter is another who has done well in the Eastern Cape after starting life with Mike Azzie up North. We know she stays the mile

and is bred to go a little further.

The in-form Callan Murray rides her for Tara Laing and she showed touches of class as a 2yo.

Hodgson’s Hot Stuff Darryl Hodgson makes a rare appearance in the Eastern Cape – he travels from Milnerton with the Gimmethegreenlight filly, Primrose Lane (88).

She won 3 from 6 up to 1400m before taking on William Longsword in the CTS Mile on Met day. Beaten 8 lengths after coming under early pressure, she is bound to be a lot more comfortable in this company as she goes the mile for the first time.

She did not show pure raw pace when winning well up the straight at her first two starts and she plays the role of the unknown quantity at her opening Fairview start.

The yard of Eastern Cape champion trainer Alan Greeff has been in a rich vein of form with 7 winners from the last two meetings.

Greeff Trio Greeff saddles a trio of decent 3yo fillies on Friday and with Greg Cheyne still indisposed, Andrew Fortune rides the obvious stable elect, Beataboutthebush(84).

The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight was backed to win her 1200m debut and followed through winning her first three starts.

She failed to settle when backed to oddson at her fourth start – giving the year older Agterskot 3kgs and going down a quarter length at her first defeat.

Agterskot came out under top weight at Fairview on Monday and won a cracker – so the form looks half okay.

Andrew Fortune rides Beataboutthebush for the first time on Friday and looks the perfect foil to settle her and teach her to settle.

She tries the mile for the first time but is likely to enjoy it – being out of the smart seven-time winning Badger Land mare, Bushra who won at 1800m.

Surface Change Seattle Burning (73) clicked in the blinkers second time to register her second win from ten starts.

A deterrent is that both of those successes were achieved on the polytrack and she was well and truly hammered by The Merry Widow at her last start.

While her dam only won up to 1400m, she does relax nicely and run on well – suggesting that her first run here over the mile may be what she is looking for.

The consistent Main Aim filly Another Night (71) is the third of the Greeff runners and will strip very fit after an eyecatching win over 200m shorter at the same venue last Friday.

The Wilgerbosdrift & Mauritzfontein bred product

is always thereabouts and this half-sister to the top-class stayer Cape Speed has shown that she finds the mile well within her range. She is bound to be thereabouts, even though unlikely to win.

Dorrie Sham’s Let Her Fly (70) took a while to win her maiden, but then followed up nicely with a win next time in a weak MR 60 Handicap.

She never showed last time when beaten 6 lengths by The Merry Widow in receipt of 2kgs, and on paper has no chance of a reversal if the Cape raider carries her form to the mile.

No Tricks Candice Bass-Robinson travels from Milnerton with her one-time winning Trippi filly, Magic Trick (69).

While lightly raced, she has looked rather moderate since shedding her maiden at her third start and has her first run at Fairview. There is nothing to write home about in her formline, she may find the change a plus and could take to the right-handed track. Include in the back-end of quartets.

Visionaire’s daughter Fantasy Quest (66) represents our Personality of The Week Yvette Bremner.

The Optima Trust-bred filly is out of the Joey Ramsden trained Bridal Lace who won 9 races up to 2000m – but this

stamina may not have been passed on.

Fantasy Quest faded quickly over 2000m last time and appears best around a mile.

On her official rating she is difficult to fancy at these weights.

The Key It’s a tough call with the top two so close together – but Alan Greeff could well hold the key. He saddles the serious threat in Beataboutthebush and has two others in the race – she he can make it a true-run affair which The Merry Widow may not enjoy.

Should be a fascinating race to watch.

The Western Cape boasts a long and proud history of producing champion racehorses and award winning wines.

Bloodstock South Africa will host its annual Cape Yearling Sale at the Mistico Equestrian Centre for the first time next week.

Gold Standard

Illustrious names from yesteryear of the ilk of Pocket Power, Mother Russia and Irridescence will reverberate through the impressive venue as buyers bid for tomorrow’s champions.

Conveniently located in the beautiful Cape Winelands between Durbanville and Paarl, Mistico is the largest livery and show holding venue in the country and is the perfect backdrop for the high quality one day sale.

Doosra

The time proven foundations of value and quality have underpinned demand at this sale and while history tells us that R190 000 would have bought a triple SA Horse Of The Year called Pocket Power, and just R30 000 secured last Saturday’s Dubai Super Saturday performer Sanshaawes, then there has to be a chance for all of us!

To show we are not talking one-hit wonders, the likes of Mother Russia, Irridescence, Hammie’s Hooker and fellow Gr1 winners O Caesour, Sarabande, Silver Arc, Sparkling Gem, Royal Bencher and Villandry, all had their time in the ring here.

Royal Honour

More recently, consider Sun Met 3yo Gold Standard, Gr2 winners Hack Green and Final Judgement, Gr3 winners Green Pepper and Doosra, and you have got to have penned Thursday 16 March into the diary as a must attend!

Final Judgement

The 142 lots include progeny of the best we have, the exciting unknown – and plenty in between.

The top-class Fort Wood heads a list that includes Elusive Fort, Gimmethegreenlight, Greys Inn, Ideal World, Judpot, Philanthropist, Querari and Var. Include in that the fact that Sail From Seattle has had 9 2yo winners this term and the internationally proven Oratorio has got them to run early – with an unbeaten flyer from his first SA crop.

Young stallions with their first SA yearlings on offer include What A Winter, Duke Of Marmalade, Jackson, Master Of My Fate, Noble Tune, Pomodoro and Potala Palace.

Tarry’s Blue Eyes Gold SA champion trainer Sean Tarry produced the Wilgerbosdrift Gr2 Gauteng Fillies Guineas hat-trick at Turffontein on Saturday with a surprise winner in the form of the Dynasty grey Smiling Blue Eyes, who finished with a sustained flourish under Raymond Danielson to register her biggest career success to date.

T

arry won this race last year with Heaps Of Fun and in 2015 with Siren’s Call – who was to go on and be pipped at the final hurdle of the Triple Tiara by Pine Princess.

But he was presented with another tilt at the trophy won by Igugu in 2011 and Cherry On The Top in 2013, in the shape of the very well-related good-looking Smiling Blue Eyes.

She had popped up at any price in a post-maiden Gr3 Fillies Mile success on Summer Cup day and had not seen action since – until lining up on Saturday as one of the lesser fancied of the Tarry quartet Running from a carded 19 draw and with fitness doubts after a 14 week break, there was no pressure on Raymond Danielson as he had the 22-1 Smiling Blue Eyes in midfield and following a wide path around her field, as Last Chirp showed the way from Babbling Brooke and Ektifaa.

In the home run, Smiling Blue Eyes floated up the outside rail as

Ektifaa and Orchid Island looked dangerous in the centre.

At the 300m marker it was clear that nothing was going better, and Smiling Blue Eyes shot into the lead to win going away by 2,60 lengths in a time of 100,47 secs.

The lesser fancied of the De Kock quartet, Al Hawraa came out to chase the winner home, as Orchid Island ran out of steam, but managed to hang on for third.

Babbling Brooke appeared to run in patches but rallied well to get fourth.

After a tough campaign, Tony Ruffel Stakes winner Ektifaa faded after being prominent for a long way and finished sixth, 5,50 lengths off the winner.

Callan Murray has Rafeef nicely balanced to hold the consistent New Predator

Three Troikas winner Anna Pavlova, running under new ownership, made up plenty of ground from way back into sixth.

Safe Harbour (8,55 lengths) never showed.

The most exciting aspect of Smiling Blue Eyes’ terrific win is that she is bred to go further and could well go on and make a bold bid for Triple Tiara glory.

A R650 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 graduate, she was bred by Highlands, and is by Dynasty out of the fivetime winning Badger Land mare, Sage Blue – who won from a mile to 2000m.

The winner is a half sister to, amongst

others, the stallion Russian Sage (Jallad) and Gr3 Lonsdale Stirrup Cup runner-up, Sage Throne.

Smiling Blue Eyes has won 3 of her 5 starts for stakes of R542 875.

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 of the winner of all three legs of the series.

We march on to the second leg, the R1-million Wilgerbosdrift Gr1 SA Fillies Classic to be run over 1800m on Saturday 1 April. The third leg is the R1million Wilgerbosdrift Gr2 SA Oaks run over 2450m on 6 May

Trainer Mike de Kock notched his 2998th career winner when the lightly raced Rafeef stayed on well to win the R400 000 Gr2 Hawaii Stakes at Turffontein on Saturday – in a top two finish for the Australian-breds.

he top yard were rewarded for their loyalty to Avontuur-sponsored Callan Murray, who was retained for the ride after he had gone fractionally too early on Rafeef in the Listed Wolf Power 1600 last time out – when the big fellow had been beaten by New Predator’s stablemate, Irish Pride.

Murray showed he had learnt from the hard lesson, as he settled Rafeef off the pace set by New Predator and bided his time until late in the straight.

With New Predator and Kangaroo Jack looking to dominate matters, Rafeef loomed up on their inside and got the upper hand in the final 150m.

He went on the stronger to beat the consistent Gr2 Drill Hall Stakes winner New Predator by 0,25 lengths in a time of 86,21 secs.

The only filly in the race, Fort Ember stormed out of the pack to snatch third away from Kangaroo Jack – who is clearly not at his best form.

The talented Callan Murray said: “It was great to get an opportunity to redeem myself. I found a nice position and Gavin (Lerena) went an even nice gallop on New Predator, which suited us. I bided my time and Rafeef turned it on well. I am learning from my mistakes and I

appreciate the opportunities given me by the De Kock yard. Many thanks also to Sheikh Hamdan and Angus Gold.”

Assistant trainer Matthew De Kock revealed that Rafeef was a yard favourite.

“He is a beast of a horse who takes a lot of work. His Groom Ninja is a brave man! He is beautifully bred and this Gr2 win has secured him a place at stud,” he added.

Rafeef is by Redoute’s’ Choice out of the former SA Horse Of The Year National Colour, who won 7 of her 10 starts here.

Exported to compete overseas, the grey speedster won in Dubai and also finished a close second in the Gr1 Nunthorpe Stakes.

Rafeef was purchased by Shadwell Australia for A$800 000 at the 2014 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale National Colour has proven a hit at the sale and Shadwell have bought the subsequent two lots – which includes the third top seller at last year’s Easter Sale, when Rafeef’s full-brother was knocked down to them for AUS$1.75 million.

In 2015 Shadwell bought the full-sister for AUS $675 000.

No guessing who will be bidding on the Snitzel grey half sister that comes up at the 2017 renewal!

Jockey Craig Zackey has formed a special bond with the beautiful chestnut filly Nother Russia and his performance in the saddle to get the De Kock runner up to win the R250 000 Gr3 Acacia Handicap at Turffontein on Saturday could well qualify for a ride-of-the-season shortlist.

hey say that all’s well that ends well, but even at the 50m mark of the mile contest, one felt that a tough luck runner-up berth was all that Nother Russia supporters could possibly be hoping for.

She jumped from the widest gate in the 14 horse field, and was last by 15 lengths coming into the home straight.

But the way she lifted her game when asked to make up ground on the leaders, was something out of the movies.

A difficult ride – Zackey modestly labelled her a ‘handful’- Nother Russia was lugging in badly all the way up the straight and looked to have switched herself in at the 350m for a run down the centre.

With Maine Chance Farms’ Bella Sonata well away on her bicycle and looking a winner,

Zackey straightened Nother Russia with both hands on her neck and pushed her out – she finished best of the lot to hold Bella Sonata to a neck at the line in a time of 99,62 secs.

What a thrilling win to take Mike de Kock to 2999 in the famous Oppenheimer silks.

Kilauea was prominent for a long way, but finished a well beaten third ahead of Polyphonic, who will be a different proposition in the second and third legs.

Favourite and the winner’s stablemate Shaama failed to kick and finished well downfield.

Young Zackey, a prodigious talent, has been aboard at every one of Nother Russia’s eight track appearances and it is difficult to have imagined any other jock having performed the feat of getting her home.

With daughter Jessica away on a fishing trip, owner Mary Slack was on course to receive

her trophy – wearing the same hat that she had worn when Mother Russia won the Queen’s Plate!

Scoring her first – and we very much doubt her last – stakes success, Nother Russia has now won 4 races with 4 places from her 8 starts for stakes of R396 625.

She was acquired by Jessica Slack (without Mum’s knowledge) for R550 000 off the National Yearling Sale and was bred by Wilgerbosdrift

by Tiger Ridge and from the champion Windrush racemare, Mother Russia.

The latter, who raced in the Klawervlei silks when trained

by Joey Ramsden, won 13 of her 27 starts.

Mother Russia was bought in training by Mary Slack as a broodmare prospect and transferred to Mike de Kock – whereafter she added 3 further Gr1’s to her sparkling total of 4 Gr1 successes – which included a rare fairer sex score in the prestigious 2011 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate – when Mrs Slack wore that lucky hat!

Mother Russia had one more run – a second in the J&B Met behind Past Master – before retiring to stud.

Pencil in her beautiful daughter’s name for bigger things to come.

Yvette Bremner

Our Leading Lady

S

The pony-tailed blonde Fairview-based conditioner, who frankly looks the best part of ten years younger than her ID book suggests, saddled a four-timer at her home track – including the day’s feature - to share last Friday’s Eastern Cape card with her colleague, Alan Greeff, who got five.

Yvette concedes modestly that it’s ‘probably the fifth time’ she has won four races on an afternoon.

“I will have to check that with my ‘Public Relations Officer’, Hedley,” she laughs in a reference to her partner Hedley McGrath.

“But I probably shouldn’t be saying that, as he also happens to be one of the bigger owners in my yard!”

The Vryburg born one-time ballet dancer, who had ambitions of becoming a jockey, found her path in life inexorably mapped out when, at the age of 11 the family moved to Knysna, just down the N2 from PE. She is not shy to admit that show-jumping and dressage never really appealed to her. She loved horses and speed – only one pursuit made any sense.

A Legend Her first job in racing was in exalted company – she did eight years with the late legend, Stanley Greeff, before spending the next eight split between the services of Dumas Coetzee and Paul Lafferty. That’s the equivalent of a Harvard education in racehorse training!

Mr Greeff gave her the nickname ‘Blue Eyes’, as he could not remember her name. It stuck.

Yvette had solid coaching on the work-riding front too, learning the finer skills of the mostly unglamorous art from multiple SA champion jockey Piere Strydom and her present day assistant, Carl Hewitson – father of leading apprentice and her current stable jockey, Lyle Hewitson.

“I am really fortunate to have had such a solid grounding.

But when it came to taking the plunge and going on my own, I somehow preferred the salary cheque rather than the stress!

But then Laff packed up here and I was on my own with a few horses. I was forced to sink or swim. But, I have been very lucky!” she says, modestly adding that having support counted for everything early on.

“In those early days, Mike de Kock, Alec Laird and Joey Ramsden helped me out with horses and, very importantly, paying owners,” she adds.

Number One Her first winner came after a month – a filly called Nine From Tara, named by Ramsden’s Dad. Born with no silver spoon in her mouth, hard work and doing the basics properly have seen Yvette make her own luck - the Dippin Blu stables string has grown from a modest twenty odd horses then to close on a very competitive 110 today.

She is full of praise for the Dippin Blu team – including assistant for the past ten years Carl Hewitson, Head Groom William and her two hardworking ‘pretty blondes’, Shamone and Janeke. And she rates her team of lead workriders – Lucky, Daniel and Siya, ‘top-class’.

Yvette relies on individual strengths to bolster the team.

“It sounds like a cliché, but we all have our own strengths.

From handicapping to tending unsound horses to marketing to administration. We all play our role.”

“I have learnt that it’s best to play the cards the way life deals them rather than try and force the roll of the dice...”

Brain And Talent SA’s leading apprentice Lyle Hewitson rode all four winners for her last Friday – we asked how much potential she believes he has.

“Lyle used to travel down to us from his Mom in Durban in school holidays and started riding work and participating in the work-rider races. He was keen to learn and showed balance from early. Not everybody close to him was keen on him becoming a professional jockey. But he is a bright student – a clever kid – and has a brain and top school education to fall back on if weight ever becomes an issue.

He has a bright future – and has adopted the attitude where he is very keen to listen and to learn.”

Yvette added that Lyle and Karl Zechner shared the riding responsibilities until Zechner broke his arm.

“I am very happy – and fortunate - to have Lyle riding for us - and it’s nice to get solid feedback – and to see that he doesn’t avoid certain rides to suit himself.

If a horse has issues and he has gotten to know the animal, he sticks with it. Not a common characteristic amongst jockeys, generally!”

Yvette has produced her own nursery over her fifteen years of ‘new generation’ horsewomen.

“I have been blessed with great staff over the years – Lezeanne Forbes is training for her own account in KZN and doing well; Barbara Badenhorst is doing an outstanding job as assistant to Dean Kannemeyer at Summerveld – and then her sister Vicky was a talented jockey – she is married to Gavin Lerena today.”

What A Biscuit She has a nice string of horses at the moment. We asked her how good Friday’s 3yo feature winner Gimme The Stars is.

“He is a 16.1 hh Marie biscuit! A talented horse, he will be stronger when he fills out and grows into his frame. I am so proud of Via Seattle, who won on Friday. She was picked by my daughter Kayla and is proving really good – she won her second start from two.”

We asked Yvette about her Cape Guineas runner, Pacific Spirit.

“He is another outstanding Sail From Seattle. He is a top horse - as good as my Gr1 winner Copper Parade. We gelded him, but he sadly has his ‘issues’. And as far as the raiding goes, we will stick to Gauteng – we somehow have not had the same fortune in the Cape and KZN.”

Economics Taxed on the tough economic climate, she indicated that she has always kept her feet on the ground and realised ages ago that training horses was not a passport to wealth - and that racing remains an ‘expensive game’.

“I don’t spend too much time being distracted by bank statements and balance sheets. I focus on my horses and winning races. I have good patrons – and I have found they become friends – and that’s part of the reward, fun and enjoyment of my work and their pleasure.

I get great support from the breeders too – Lammerskraal, Maine Chance, Ascot, Danika, Milkwood and Wilgerbosdrift are amongst the names that any trainer would do somersaults to call their owners!”

On the aspect of Fairview’s training facilities, Yvette did not hesitate when stating that they are spoilt with some of the best facilities in the country.

“The poly has had its critics, but it adds a valuable dimension for a range of horses. Our training tracks are great – for slow and fast work. When we left

Pauline Herman

outh Africa’s leading established lady trainer Yvette Bremner didn’t come into the game via the pony club route. She probably would not have been reflecting back on fifteen outstanding years today if she had not been largely circumstantially cornered into taking out her licence in 2002.

Arlington we had 58 horses. The yard has grown nicely here.”

A Strong Woman The inevitable question of whether it was tough being taken seriously in a man’s world had to come up.

“I am no women’s libber but must say it was a lot tougher when I started out. I am not sure whether general mindsets in the New South Africa have evolved in terms of equality of the sexes – or whether training winners and running a successful business gives one credibility. I would like to believe it’s the latter!”

While Yvette gets on with things and doesn’t involve herself in the poison politics that the game dishes up from time, we did manage to squeeze one pet peeve out of her: “The rule makers, some of whom have no understanding of the horse, somehow seem to think that they are qualified to foist impractical rules and regulations upon us. Like, for example, the change in the loading order at the gates. It doesn’t work to simply base this process on numbers.

That amendment smacks of a lack of empathy and understanding of the nature and personality of different horses. But I’m glad to say we seem to be making some headway and there is a forum for negotiation and input that was not in evidence in years gone by. Hopefully trainers will be more fully consulted on all the things that affect us, going forward.”

And the future for Yvette?

“I am doing what I love. I am definitely not going anywhere. Port Elizabeth is a great place to live and work. I have wonderful people and good horses around me. What more could anybody wish for?”

Not All Smooth Sailing On The Day, But…

We Are Family!

T

Disgraceful Timing Everyone’s an expert and we all know exactly what’s wrong with racing.

Now that is rubbish and we can put it behind us. But I believe strongly that we, the racing public, have a legitimate complaint to make about Sectional Timing.

Watching Mathew de Kock on the winner’s podium at Turffontein on Guineas Saturday, it is difficult to imagine that the young man is only 25. On a momentous day for the De Kock family operation, we were reminded again that he has come of age and just about ready to step into his Dad’s big shoes.

he grandson of 16 times Cape champion jockey Johnny Cawcutt obviously had a head start in life on many youngsters who could never hope to break into this tough game. But it is the manner in which he has matured and found the public polish and edge required to handle the big moments that speaks of a guy going places.

Gone is the youthful zooty gelled hairstyle and the sometimes ill-fitting suits, replaced by a professional look.

While we know the real hard work in this game is done at stables in the early mornings, accepting trophies and making diplomatically grateful ra-ra speeches is tougher than it looks.

How many times can one really smile and nod with the whole world gushing and spewing forth superlatives and telling you how great you are and what a fantastic race your horse has just won?

On Saturday Mathew walked onto the stage three times as Assistant to Mike de Kock to receive the trophies and break open

Mathew de Kock the champagne after Piere Strydom’s brilliance got Janoobi home in the Gauteng Guineas to bring up their 3000th winner.

“We couldn’t have written the script any better. The last three wins, all achieved on the afternoon, were in feature races and that’s just a testament to my dad and the man that he is,” said Mathew following earlier wins in the Gr2 Hawaii Stakes and the Gr3 Acacia Handicap.

Mike was away in Dubai for Super Saturday and in an imperfect world there was to be a bittersweet twist to it all

for the champion team.

“I am very happy, especially since this happened with Mat and my grooms in charge on the day. Mat will eventually take over the string, I am very proud of him and my team,” said Mike.

Things went awry though as De Kock’s UAE Derby candidate Fawree burst through the stalls at Meydan ahead of his rivals, dislodged jockey Bernard Fayd’Herbe and was bizarrely declared a runner in an incident that may affect his chance of getting into the Derby on World Cup night. Horse Whisperer Malan du Toit has got the call-up to sort that one out.

Tragedy struck later in the meeting, when former Gr1 Cape Derby winner Ertijaal (AUS) fractured a sesamoid shortly after the start of the Jebel Hatta and had to be euthanized.

Ertijaal, a son of Hard Spun, won his first four races on the trot, including the Grade 1 Cape Derby on Met Day in 2015. Exported to Dubai, he finished third in the 2016 Jebel Hatta, followed by a close fourth in the Group 1 Dubai Turf.

Just where the hell is it?

I

t’s disgraceful how it’s been handled and how we have been handled.

As much as this is a cliche there is no other way to put it.

It’s just a disgrace.

I fell in love with horseracing at a time when it was completely inaccessible to me. I was a kid and had never been to a race track.

It was before IGN, I don’t remember being able to call for commentary and I wasn’t able to go to totes or bookmakers rooms.

My interaction with racing was a racecard, the 10c jackpot, the results on Radio Goodhope and the very first edition of any newspaper which showed the dividends.

I fell hard for racing and now many years later I’ve had my picture taken with Lester, I was close up for Millard’s magic, patted Empress Club and Jet Master, Horse Chestnut and Dynasty, met Michael Roberts, owned and bred some horses, and handicapped and gambled on both sides of the counter.

Racing had a burst of energy from about the 90’s.

We discovered that every stallion did not have to be an import.

We nationalised the tote and discovered international racing.

We corporatised the industry.

We decided to change how we handicapped and saw Betfair flicker the burst into existence.

And for a moment we almost got sectional timing off the ground. Maybe someone even has a copy of the

redesigned racecard that incorporated the sectional timing for that brief time.

Frankel is the best horse I have ever seen, and as you watched the pictures from overseas you knew it was once in a lifetime.

It was impossible to miss Frankel, or Black Caviar, and also the sectional timing that came attached.

Once you saw the times explained with Frankel as the star, you just knew it was only a matter of time for us.

But now all we really have is a public relations disgrace.

We know from rumours and internet gossip that sectional timing is on the table.

It’s been franked by credible comments from standup trainers and witnesses.

But it goes on and on as a disappearing act which is really a strategic disaster with no leadership in sight to rescue the thing.

Everyone is concerned that racing’s current aging enthusiasts all come from the time before cell phones when gambling on horses was the only game in town.

Yet the sectional timing, which is how the digital generation will understand racing, is not being given the chance to build up the years of exposure that it will need?

Please, can anyone explain how this is possible?

Jebel Hatta - Gr1 In Name Only?

What did we learn from the Dubai World Cup Carnival’s Super Saturday action at Meydan?

In all likelihood Postponed will improve from his defeat in the Dubai City Of Gold at Meydan on Saturday and be extremely competitive in defence of his $US6million (Dh22.04m) turf crown on March 25, writes Geoffrey Riddle.

T

here were signs, however, that all was not well with the six-year-old entire.

He was not the sort of cool, unflustered athlete of last season in the parade ring and he kicked at the start, too, and required a blindfold to enter the stalls.

Jockey Andrea Atzeni blamed the poor behaviour on his mount’s dislike for outrider’s ponies but they will be there on World Cup night, as they were when Postponed negotiated them with little hassle 12 months ago. Throw in the fact Sheikh Mohammed Obaid’s flagbearer lost for the second time in succession and you have to at least question whether he is the same horse.

Dubai Turf looks the race of World Cup night

Decorated Knight’s fastfinishing win in the Jebel Hatta highlighted that Roger Charlton’s raider is rapidly improving. He has to keep along that arc, however, if he is going to make a dent in the $6m Dubai Turf which the British trainer won in 2012 with Cityscape.

The Jebel Hatta on Saturday was a Gr1 race only in name, and pitching up to Meydan on March 25 will be Godolphin’s Ribchester, Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid’s Mutakayyef, the impressive French challenger Zarak and last year’s winner Real Steel. Local challenger Championship also has been improving at a rate of knots under the careful guidance of Ahmad Bin Harmash. It looks a tough spot.

Long River may be reaching his prime

It can occasionally take horses a season or two to find their form in Dubai. Long River has had his fair share of problems and his Al Maktoum Challenge Round 3 success was his first victory in the UAE from nine attempts since transferring from the US stable of Kiaran McLaughlin. It was also his first win over 2000 metres from four attempts.

Trainer Salem Bin Ghadayer was at loss to explain the improved performance when interviewed by the stewards, but it may just be that the American import is finally settling in at his trainer’s plush facility. He did finish third to

A Magic Eight

Jockey Joao ‘Magic’ Moreira rewrote the Hong Kong record books with eight winning rides at Sha Tin on Sunday.

Decorated Knight wins Jebel Hatta (photo: DRC Andrew Watkins) Tonalist in the Grade 1 Jockey Gold Cup in 2014, after all.

North America will be very hard to beat in the Godolphin Mile.

North America has twice beaten Heavy Metal, who thumped his rivals in the Burj Nahaar on Saturday.

Collateral formlines are dangerous to accept as fact, but North America simply looks the best dirt miler in the UAE right now.

It is understood the connections of crack US challenger Sharp Azteca have accepted their invitation, however, and he could be very dangerous.

Whip happy European jockeys

Time and again European jockeys have come to Meydan on fleeting visits and have been punished for a strange approach to whip use. Atzeni was reprimanded by the stewards for hitting Postponed in front of the saddle while holding his whip in his forehand, and hitting his mount excessively without giving him a chance to respond.

Irish rider Oisin Murphy was fined Dh1,000 for hitting Alabaster 13 times in the Burj Nahaar, and it was the second time he has fallen foul of whip-related offences this season. Atzeni and Murphy are unlikely to try it in Britain, where they are both based and where there are whip restrictions on the number of times you can encourage your horse, so why try it here? www.thenational.ae

It was just seven days earlier that Moreira had failed to ride a winner at a Hong Kong meeting for the first time since April, 2016.

But he bounced back with sheer brilliance on Sunday to ride eight winners at a meeting – something nobody had ever done in Hong Kong.

His previous best had been eight winners on a day in Brazil and, in Singapore, won the last eight one day and the opening race the next for nine in a row.

He had also twice previously won six races in Hong Kong at a meeting.

He told the South China Morning Post: “But I think it is even harder to do in Hong Kong,” said Moreira, who screamed his delight as he brought his last winner back.

“I was so pumped. And my wife was out on the balcony and screaming out to me, so I screamed back. I so wanted to share that moment with her. You can’t ever expect these things, I have no words to describe it.”

From 10 rides, Moreira fell short by one of equalling what is believed to be the world record – nine wins on 4 June 2005,

by American jockey Eddie Castro at Calder racetrack in Florida.

11 Million

US champion Arrogate marches towards the $10 million Dubai World Cup on 25 March having already banked more than $11 million courtesy of his 6 wins, including the Gr1 Breeders' Cup Classic and the Gr1 Pegasus World Cup. Bred by Clearsky Farms, the 4-year-old colt by Unbridled's Song will be a major drawcard as he looks to add substantially to his purse.

Ormond Ferraris’ Patchit Up Baby carved quite a path of destruction when winning the Allez France Stakes on 18 February at Turffontein. While she ended up winning easily, her rider Gavin Lerena didn’t escape the wrath of the Stipes and was given a 7 day holiday in terms of Rule 62.2.7, for failing to ensure he did not cause interference when shifting in at the 400m.

Derryl Daniels was riding only his second winner of the season at Scottsville on 29 January when he was fined in terms of of Rule 62.2.10, for making a celebratory gesture shortly before the finish line. In the process he was fined R1500 – close on half of his hard earned commission.

Life’s not always fair.

Aldo Domeyer picked up a 10 day suspension for being deemed the culprit in Greg Cheyne’s’ crashing fall from Nebula at Kenilworth in the Cape Mile. Domeyer was riding Victorious Jay, who won the race, and according to reports said that he never realised Cheyne was in the position he was.

Our SP Digest star of last week, Arrowfield Studbased sire Snitzel , secured his second stakes double in as many days this past weekend, taking his total to 56 individual stakes winners. The son of Redoute’s Choice is currently leading the general sires table in Australia by both winners and earnings and also heads the leading 3yo and 2yo tables by both earnings and winners.

Assistant trainer Dan Katz has come up with a novel solution for owners of horses that continuously get no relief from the handicapper. Interviewed on the USO show on Saturday, he suggested that the handicappers get together and race Winter Trade themselves.”They obviously rate him highly. Why don’t they just club together and buy him?” asked Katz.

Gainesway-based stallion Tapit (Pulpit) added 3 new stakes winners to his tally this weekend taking his individual stakes total to 94. Tapit stands for a fee of US$300,000 and has sired 21 Gr1 winners.

Odds-On A Result

Paddy Power Betfair

Never mind that the company lost £5m on Donald Trump winning the presidency in November: today’s full-year results should show healthy profits. The result of a £5bn ($7.2bn) merger last year between the Irish-owned Paddy Power and Betfair, the world’s largest online betting exchange, founded only in 2000, the new entity is now one of the biggest betting companies in the world, with revenues of £1.5bn. It has become well-known for its headline-grabbing stunts; punters can currently make bets on Mr Trump being impeached, dyeing his hair red, white and blue, or painting the White House gold (500/1). The firm’s idiosyncratic ways have disrupted a hidebound market. It has also taken advantage of last year’s increase in gambling in its home markets of Britain and Ireland, probably helped by events such as the Olympics and the European football championships. A lucrative merger? You bet.

Sun Met winner Whisky Baron will travel via Mauritius and spend some time in Dubai when leaving on a global campaign shortly. His programme will be supervised by his current trainer Brett Crawford and international whizz Mike de Kock.

The long term plan is for the Manhattan Rain gelding owned by the Kieswetter family to compete in Hong Kong or Singapore in early 2018.

Bit Of A Twit(ter)?

You can think what you like – but you can’t always say what you like…Melbourne Cup - winning jockey Michelle Payne had the Flemington Track Manager in her social media crosshairs on Monday, suggesting on Twitter that he should have his position ‘reviewed’. Under rule AR. 175 introduced in 2015, it is an offence to post what is deemed inappropriate content on social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter.

Tellytrack presenter Alston Naidoo took an unwitting swipe at the backroom boys, when announcing some technical issues with the feed from Fairview on Monday: ”Our engineers are frivolously working on the problem…”

The Rio De Janeiro Story Thanks to my grandmother I learnt to love reading at an early age. She was a wonderful lady in many ways, but perhaps her greatest wisdom was to turn outings to Stellenbosch library into a special treat.

W

e would make the journey into town and stop to stroke the little bronze of the Café Cat (sculpted by her friend Nerine Desmond) before walking through the door and entering the cool gloom of the building’s foyer. My grandmother had three library cards and setting aside one for herself, would ceremoniously share the remaining two between myself and my sister. My grandmother would head off into the adult section on the ground floor, while we were let loose among the children’s shelves to select a treat to take home. No censure and no guidance. It was perhaps my first taste of being fully in charge of anything and it was intoxicating. That library card was my passport to anywhere I wanted. More importantly, it was also my ticket to learning whatever I wanted.

When I first started out, I didn’t much consider the name below the title, I was more interested in the world beyond the cover, but as I got older, I learned that writers were real people and that some of them were still alive and well. When it came to horse books, some of my idols even gave public clinics and demonstrations, meaning I could meet them and even get them to inscribe messages in my favourite copies of their books. One such clinician, teaching a different approach to riding, included the mantra ‘may all your rides be weird.’

Why weird is good Her comment – which is applicable in life as well as in riding - was based on learning theory and neurological pathways and the fact that once sufficiently established, performing an action a certain way –whether you are doing it correctly or not - feels ‘normal’. There lies a danger in assuming that ‘normal’ is also correct, which is not always the case. Constantly examining how and why one does things and trying to change and improve will – at least initially – feel, well, weird. But unless you are feeling weird, you are not changing so if one wants to improve, it is important to be challenged.

And so it is with writing and with telling stories. It is important to tell stories to learn about other things and also to be challenged. As Neil Gaiman once said, “Once you’ve visited other worlds, like those who ate fairy fruit, you can never be entirely content with the world that you grew up in. And discontent is a good thing: people can modify and improve their worlds, leave them better, leave them different, if they’re discontented.”

A lot of my columns are based on things that leave me discontented, but if things are worth changing, then I think they are worth sharing. So here’s a great story, with a happy ending, but which will hopefully leave you feeling discontented with the status quo and with a bit of luck, might help to inspire a bit of change. Or at least a bit of thought. If I’m really lucky, it might just help change people’s perception about racing owners a little.

Special people Ryan and Rene Bacher are a South African couple who relocated to Singapore for a few years, thanks to Ryan’s job and it’s thanks to them, a special group of people and their discontent with the status quo, that I have the privilege of relaying a rather special story. Friends took them to the races at Kranji and introduced them to their trainer, Stephen Gray.

Rene was keen on racing and spent her student years working in a pub frequented by bookies, so by her own admission she learned ‘quite a lot’.

She says, “I’ve always loved horses, so going to the track in Singapore, meeting the trainers and spending Saturday mornings at the facilities sold it to us. Racing in Singapore is very well subsidized and well run. The horses all stay on site and don’t need to travel to races. There’s a vet, a swimming pool, etc.” It wasn’t long before the couple bought their first horse.

Steep learning curve “He was sold to us as a complete donkey by another trainer in Singapore who said he was useless, but we thought we’d give him a go. Greg Cheyne was the first jockey to ride our horse and within three races he’d won, so we were hooked.” Although they might have got into ownership somewhat naively, the Bachers were brought to earth with a bump. “Unfortunately for us, about a year later he broke down on the racetrack. He was actually

out in front and broke down 20m from the line. He was put down right there on the track. It destroyed Ryan and I emotionally and we cried for weeks.”

After a little water under the bridge, a little reflection and some serious soul searching, they decided to try again, albeit approaching things a little differently this time round. “Losing our first horse in such a traumatic fashion made us realise what a big responsibility owning a horse is. A racehorse is not just something that earns money – it’s not about the money – they are actually part of your life.”

own outright, they still have shares in a few and it was in trying to find a solution for a gelding by the name of Rio De Janeiro that the story really becomes fun. “Rio was owned in a syndicate. We only owned 25% of him, but the other members didn’t want anything to do with rehoming him as they said it was too costly.

It is costly, we know it is. We’ve already flown 3 from Singapore to New Zealand. We didn’t want to send Rio to Malaysia and the local saddle club didn’t want him, so the only option left was to put him down.”

Above & beyond

Gareth found Ashleigh for us, we said let him go there. My husband and I are both South African and with his new project, my husband will be spending 1 week a month in Johannesburg, so we will have the opportunity to see him and know what happens to him. It’s important to us to be able to keep up with how he gets on. One of our horses in New Zealand is being trained up as an eventer and the girl who is looking after him sends us updates every month with photos and videos.

Ashleigh is very similar. When he arrived in quarantine, we got photos of him getting off the float. He’s a beautiful, intelligent horse and of course the best thing is that he got to travel to South Africa with Rocket Man, who was Singapore’s ultimate champion. I would love to have heard the conversation between them on the plane on the way home!”

“Like owning a pet, you don’t just However, in a rather lovely piece discard a horse when you’re finished of serendipity, a solution presented with it. As an owner one has a duty itself.

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

with Steve Furnish

Powerful Display

Kenilworth 28 February The course was running a little fast in Cape Town on Tuesday. A juvenile plate over 1000m was first up and in what proved to be the faster of the two events over the distance, we saw a smart performance from the second favourite SIR FRENCHIE. On leaving the stalls it was the favourite ZODIAC JACK who elected to make the running whilst Justin Snaith’s charge raced close up in second. He assumed command 150m out, and with the rest some 14 lengths adrift, won going away by two The faster of the two 1600m events on the card was the MR75 Handicap won by the favourite BARONESS MARY. Confidently ridden by Pierre Orffer the daughter of Dynasty raced 8th of the ten for most of the journey. She ran on best of all in the straight and after striking the front 150m from home, won going away by a length and a half.

They also ran two races over 1200m and quickest home here was RUSTAR DHOW when registering her second career victory in the not so lucky last, a MR68 Handicap. Freely available at 8/1 on the off, Glen Kotzen’s charge, in a tightly bunched field, raced a handy seventh. She ran on strongly at the business end of the race and with the rest comfortably beaten, she got up late to deny the front running VARIFAST. TITBITS The deposed favourite POP THE QUESTION won the maiden plate over 1400m going away by two and a quarter.

With the pace throughout, STARFLASH looked to win the Horses worth following at their next few starts... MR80 Handicap over 1000m a little more easily than the SIR FRENCHIE (J Snaith, W-Cape) winning margin of a length TOUCH OF MAGIC (P Lafferty, KZN) would suggest.

Veteran’s Night Turffontein 28 February They raced on the old stand side track on Tuesday evening where a half of the eight races were staged over 1160m. The fastest of these was the MR80 Handicap in which the 9yo KAPELLMEISTER caused a major upset. Easy to back at 22/1 on the off, the veteran Kahal gelding was positioned in the rear early on. He quickened best of all from halfway and went on to score with authority by almost two.

A pinnacle stakes over 1160m topped the bill, and here victory went to the 7yo PIVOTAL PURSUIT. Caught for early toe, Gary Alexander’s charge raced in the rear early on and was still six lengths adrift of the leaders going through the 400m. He ran on best of all once into gear though, and under a well-judged ride from Andrew Fortune he got up late to deny the more fancied AFRICAN RULER. In terms of distance, the easiest victory on the card was recorded by SHE’S FOXY when getting off the mark in the maiden plate for the girls over 1160m. Positioned in midfield during the early part of the race, the 12/10 favourite struck the front shortly after passing halfway. She ran on strongly from there onwards and easily accounted for the second favourite MADAM SECRETARY by five and a quarter.

TITBITS The 3yo TIMEOFTHEVIKINGS came from the rear when opening his account in the maiden plate over 1160m.

Are You Sure Scottsville 1 March The going was posted as good to soft in Pietermartzburg on Wednesday, but in contradiction the times told us that the track was actually running slightly fast. Five of the afternoon’s nine races took place over 1200m and stopping the clock in the fastest time amongst these was OVER SURE in the MR70 Handicap. Shouldering top weight of 60,5kg, the 3yo son of Mogok was always handy. He ran on strongly at the business end of the race and with the remainder some five lengths and a quarter lengths adrift, he got the better of the well-supported favourite ROY’S AIR FORCE by three quarters.

The afternoon’s feature event was the Middle Stakes and here we saw a very easy victory for Sporting Post’s Top Bet MR 0’NEILL. Sent off a strong favourite at 12/10, Dean Kannemeyer’s charge was soon positioned close to the speed. He put his head in front shortly after passing the 300m marker and drew clear easily in the closing stages of the race to score by five and a half.

Another to win with lengths to spare on this card was the aptly named newcomer TOUCH OF MAGIC when winning the opening juvenile plate over 1000m. Nibbled at on course into 3/1 from 5’s, the daughter of Sepoy wasn’t the quickest into stride. She was soon up handy despite that though, and after striking the front approaching the 100m pole, she cruised clear to win by three and three quarters.

TITBITS Soon up handy despite losing two lengths at the start, the 7yo ARGYLE BAY won the MR74 Handicap over 1600m going away by a length and a half.

Just Reward Vaal 2 March There were a number of easy victories on the outside track on Thursday, but none more so than that of GRATUITY when opening her account in the fastest of the four 1000m events, a maiden plate. Very quickly in command of a two and a quarter lengths advantage, the lightly raced daughter of Dynasty raced clear throughout. The more fancied DE NIMES ran on strongly from the rear to take second position over the final 400m, but even she couldn’t get within four and three quarters at the wire.

Three of the afternoon’s ten races were staged over 1400m and doing the business for the column here was the outsider AQUABUOY. Nibbled at into 22/1 from 40’s, the Sail From Seattle gelding was soon up handy. He was ridden to lead 450m out and kept on strongly

below the distance to fend off a determined challenge from the rejuvenated INTANDOKAZI. The faster of the two 1200m races on the card was the graduation plate in which ANGEL’S POWER registered his third career victory. On leaving the stalls it was AL AZRAQ who elected to make the running whilst the 4yo son of Miesque’s Approval raced close up in second. He ran on strongly in the rain that fell throughout, and did well to get the better of the favourite SHE’S A GIVER (raced in the rear – led 150m) close home.

TITBITS Despite sweating up, and Joe Gwingwizha dropping his whip 350m out, the 9/10 favourite ROYAL VARIETY won the work riders’ maiden plate over 1000m very easily by three and a half.

Hearty Breakfast Greyville 3 March Friday’s evening’s action took place on the poly track where the fastest of the three 1400m events was the MR77 Handicap won by the 4yo BREAKFAST CLUB. Supported at the track into 11/2 from 7/1, Dennis Drier’s charge was soon positioned close to the speed. He took up the running early in the short home straight, and comfortably accounted for the easy to back ARCHILLES by three quarters.

The faster of the two 2000m races that brought proceedings to a close was the MR62 Handicap in which the deposed favourite FASHION TALK landed the spoils. Cleverly ridden by Anthony Delpech, the always handy daughter of A P Answer struck the front 700m out. She quickly went two and a half lengths

clear and despite the efforts of the chasing pace, she didn’t relinquish an inch of that advantage on the run to the line.

A maiden plate over 1200m had been first up and here we saw a smart performance from the aptly named 3yo BYE BYE BABY. She lost two lengths at the jump and very quickly found herself second last. Once in the straight though, she quickened best of all and won going away by two and a quarter after striking the front 100m from home.

TITBITS The improving 3yo STRUCTURED REPLY had the rest well beaten when getting up late to deny the speedy VARBRATION in the MR78 Handicap over 1000m.

Champion’s Lasting Legacy

Z

Champion 2yo colt in Europe, Champion 3yo in Europe, rated Timeform 130 – no doubt Zafonic (Gone West) was among the best.

His three and a half length win over subsequent Irish 2000 Guineas/Breeders Cup Mile winner Barathea in the 1993 2000 Guineas had to be seen to be believed, the win inviting comparisons to past Guineas greats Dancing Brave and El Gran Senor.

Sadly, Zafonic had just one subsequent outing following that classic triumph, in the G1 Sussex Stakes when he broke a bloodvessel.

afonic, undefeated Cartier Champion at two, was the first Mr Prospector line colt to land the 2000 Guineas, a feat subsequently replicated

by King’s Best (Kingmambo), Henrythenavigator (Kingmambo), Makfi (Dubawi) and Night Of Thunder (Dubawi).

Retired to stud in 1994, Juddmonte owned and bred Zafonic made a splash with his very first crop, which included Cartier Champion 2yo Xaar. While unable to maintain this flying start, Zafonic did establish himself as a reliable source of pattern race winners, with 50-plus stakes winners including 23 graded stakes winners.

Zafonic died in a paddock accident while shuttling to Arrowfield Stud in 2002 when just 12 years old, but his legacy looks set to continue through his many sire sons and broodmare daughters.

One of Zafonic’s best sons is Iffraaj, whose latest feat was to have the 1-3 finishers in last week’s Gr1 New

Zealand Derby, Gingernuts and Jon Snow. The winner Gingernuts, (whose pedigree carries 3-part brothers Nijinsky II and The Minstrel – the latter damsire of Zafonic) is one of seven Gr1 winners for his sire.

Iffraaj’s son Wootton Bassett sired Almanzor, whose eight career wins include the

French Derby, Irish Champion Stakes and Champion Stakes. Almanzor was the 4th best Racehorse of 2016 in the official World’s Best Racehorse Rankings, at 129 putting him 5 pounds behind US champion Arrogate and 3 pounds inferior to Australian supermare Winx.

Zafonic’s best son at stud in South Africa is G1 Gran Criterium winner Count Dubois. He sired Equus Champions French Navy and Asylum Seeker, and made headlines earlier this year when Edict Of Nantes won the Gr1 Investec Cape Derby.

Count Dubois, whose Guineas winning son Biarritz is also at stud, had an eye catching debut winner this weekend with Social Order,

scorching home to score by nearly five lengths. Social Order, like Gingernuts, carries the names of ¾ brothers Nijinsky and The Minstrel in his pedigree.

Another South African based son of Zafonic, Modus Vivendi, made his mark as sire of Equus Champion Dancewiththedevil.

Zafonic’s champion, Xaar, proved a disappointment after his blistering 2yo career (Xaar lost just once in five starts at two and was Cartier Champion of his year), winning just once after his 2yo campaign. Xaar failed by and large to live up to expectations at stud, his sole Gr1 winner being Xtension (Champions Mile).

Now retired from stud duties, Xaar is showing up as a sire of broodmares. His daughters produced 2016 Investec

Derby winner Harzand (Sea The Stars) and fairy-tale filly Yankee Rose (All American).

Yankee Rose, who cost just A$10k as a yearling, races for a partnership of twenty owners, has earned over A$2 million in stakes, and made history when as the first filly to win the Gr1 Spring Champion Stakes.

Another son of Zafonic, Trade Fair, sired high class Trade Storm who won over £1 million racing in England, Dubai, USA and Canada.

(Dansili), Awzaan (Alhaarth), Sultanina (New Approach), Vazira (Sea The Stars), Vadawina (Unfuwain), and Zafisio (Efisio). Zafonic is also broodmare sire of young sire Showcasing (Oasis Dream), whose stud fee has risen from £15.000 to £35.000 in the past few seasons.

Showcasing (whose offspring include dual G1 winning filly Quiet Reflection) was New Zealand’s Leading First Crop Sire and Leading Sire of 2yos in 2014-2015.

Well supported by high class mares, especially early in his career, Zafonic always looked likely to do well as a broodmare sire. To date his daughters have produced eight Gr1 winners, including Takedown (Stratum), Izzi Top (Pivotal), Zambezi Sun

Zafonic is full brother to successful sire Zamindar (sire of champion fillies Zarkava and Darjina), and half brother to the dams of champions Elmaamul (Diesis) and Reams Of Verse (Nureyev) and of sire Modern Day (Dayjur) who stood in South Africa.

Bruss Grabs Saudi Gr1 with God’s Speed

Oratorio’s Arabian Knight Globe-trotting trainer Neil Bruss continues to make an impression in Saudi Arabia, notching a good win in the 2000m Gr1 King Abdulaziz Racetrack Champion Cup with God’s Speed on Saturday, 4 March 2017.

N

eil left for a 12-month stint in Saudi Arabia in September 2016 and has made steady progress in the past six months, notching a good tally of 15 winners to date.

God’s Speed is an Irishbred son of none other than Avontuur-based sire Oratorio and was part of the string Bruss took over on arrival.

Clearly thrilled with his charge’s achievement on Saturday Neil said, “He’s really a miler and this was over 2000m, which is too far for this horse. When they kicked for home he was 4 or 5 lengths clear, but in the last few hundred metres they were coming at him from all sides, but he hung on for the win. He ran a really good race.”

God’s Speed is owned by Abdulelah Abdul Aziz Almousa and was ridden to victory by

L Morales. The Irish-bred gelding has now won 12 races in Saudi Arabia. Neil says, “He’d won 3 races in a row before I got here. Then they took him to Dubai where he ran unplaced in last year’s Maktoum Challenge. Since I’ve been here, he’s won 2 in a row. He was beaten in a Gr3 Cup race and then we ran him in the Gr1 King’s Cup, which is the local equivalent of our July on 11 February. The King’s Cup is run over a mile and a half and he put up a good effort to finish 3rd. And now he’s won this, so he’s won 3 for me and run 2 places.”

“He’s not a big horse,” continues Neil, “but he’s game and gutsy. He’s just turned 5, so now we’ll put him away and then look at taking him to Dubai next year.”

Oratorio has a single
