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

FAIRYTALES ARE WHAT YOU MAKE OF THEM. “WILLOW MAGIC was blindingly quick, robust, powerful, as good a Juvenile as I’ve known.

His time coincided with a golden era in my yard, yet no older horse could go with him.

The perfect prototype for sire success in South Africa.” – Sean Tarry, Champion Trainer. Again.

GOLD CIRCLE

The evergreen mare Clear Sailing is very capable but faces a big test against the boys

East Cape Sprint Cup (L) at Fairview this Friday

T

Trainer Tara Laing has a powerful hand in Friday’s R150 000 Listed East Cape Sprint Cup. She saddles a trio of high-quality established speed merchants but is quick to caution that she has every respect for Alan Greeff’s evergreen mare, Clear Sailing.

he Mayfair Speculators East Cape trainer has done exceptionally well with the quality major centre retreads, and with her three having won 20 races between them – and a Gr1 in Normanz’ case – she takes a powerful attack to the 1200m start.

Callan’s Call

The Cup, won by Yvette Bremner’s Gr1 star Copper Parade last term, is run at weight-for-age plus penalties for Gr1,2,3 and Listed victories.

The 18 month expiry window for these wins to apply means that the 4kgs Normanz would have incurred for his career peak Gr1 Golden Horse Casino Sprint success does not count – that was way back in May 2014.

Ms Laing said that stable jockey Callan Murray had opted to ride the PE newbie Tar Heel, who has his first run on transfer from Joey Ramsden.

“Callan is our first-choice rider and he picked Tar Heel. Jockeys,

like trainers, can get it wrong though and, short of the fact that we are still getting acquainted with Tar Heel, it would be very difficult for me to single out one of them as superior at level weights.”

She added that Sir Duke is very consistent and just doesn’t know how to run a bad race.

“He is a really lovely horse who gives his all. Normanz oozes class and he actually beat Sir Duke last time.

Tar Heel only arrived here on 23 February from Joey and has settled in well.

The problem with the older horses – and even me - is that a lot depends on what side of the bed we get up on in the morning! They are all working well though and there should be little to split them – they will be right there.”

When pressed for a possible danger, she said that the Greeff mare Clear

Sailing was ‘in the form of her life’ and the obvious horse to beat.

Couplings

Between the Laing and Greeff yards, they saddle six of the nine runners, and it is times like these that punters may miss the old exotic bet couplings rules.

The 6yo Argonaut mare Clear Sailing heads the SP ratings and must be the Greeff trio elect. The returned-from-injury Greg Cheyne is back in the saddle and he will be keen to keep the yard’s’ purple patch in motion.

The speedy chestnut has won 4 of her last 5 races and produced a dazzling display over track and trip last time when she simply ran away from her field in the Listed Lady’s Pendant.

She takes on the boys in a fascinating duel and

with her 1,5kg sex allowance she is expected to make them run for their lives.

Specialist

Next up on the SP ratings is the Var bolt of lightning, Tar Heel, who strikes us as a 1000m specialist- but the Fairview 1200m certainly looks well within his range.

It will be interesting to see if he is used as the tactical bait to get Clear Sailing upping the fractions early on.

He was finding things tough in the Gr1 big league at home – his last flat run in the Cape Flying Championship suggesting he was ready to be shipped to easier hunting grounds. But this looks a Friendly City baptism of fire!

We have already touched on the class 6yo Normanz.

He beat Sir Duke rather readily last time and was then withdrawn at end February as he was lame.

His general form – he didn’t enjoy the poly – on the turf is consistent and he must go into all permutations.

Jockey Raymond Danielson has enjoyed success on Sir Duke, and he will rate the son of Trippi’s chances.

The 2015 winner of this race, he was won ten races and is overdue to score after three seconds on the trot.

Top Class

Former Joey Ramsden runner Kingvoldt finally found his feet with his first win in over a year – at his sixth Eastern Cape start – last time of asking.

He beat Gr1 winner Afrikaburn with ease and drops down to the 12000m.

This 2yo Gr3 winner achieved his early success over the sprints and his one-time highest MR of 113 exceeds anything achieved by any of the others whom he faces on Friday. But he cannot be relied upon.

Thayer beat Sir Duke by almost 3 lengths over the course and distance earlier this month, but has a 7kg weight swing against him on Friday. The course and distance specialist will be hard pressed to follow up but looks a place prospect at best.

His stablemate Insearchofthesun is not getting any younger and has not won in a year.

On recent form, he looks well held by Thayer – and Normanz, for that matter – and does not inspire confidence for a selection.

Smoking

Justin Snaith brings Cuban Emerald to the party and

this four-time winning Trippi gelding returns from a 6 week break following an unplaced run on Met day.

He is talented but would need to up his game to challenge the proven top league hard-knockers at level weights.

Corne Spies’ Sail From Seattle entire Captured Wind is beset with soundness issues and is battling to regain a semblance of his better earlier form.

He was not persevered with at his last start, but showed some good pace at his penultimate outing when 3,25 lengths behind Juan Two Three.

The weight conditions do not favour him here and he has too many issues to risk taking a position on.

Tactical

The duel between the speedy Clear Sailing and the hardknocking Laing trio should make for a fascinating tactical duel.

Greg Cheyne may try and run the boys off their feet, but the test will come in that final 100m.

If the classy but enigmatic Bremner runner Kingvoldt maintains his form, he could run them all down.

The Double Is On

The Kahal 4yo Romany Prince bids for the Drum Star double

Drum Star Handicap (L) at Turffontein this Saturday

T

The smart Kahal gelding Romany Prince bids to win the R150 000 Listed Drum Star Handicap at Turffontein on Saturday for the second year running. He looks to have improved marginally but it remains a tricky little handicap. he field of ten on the Turffontein 1800m inside track includes a few staying types stretching their legs, and that includes the SP top-rated The Elmo Effect, who may find himself run off his feet over this trip.

Capable

Romany Prince enjoys the services of the back-from-suspension Gavin Lerena and the Gr3 London News Stakes winner is a very capable sort at best.

He probably found things a bit sharp over the 1400m of the Hawaii Stakes when failing to quicken and just under five lengths behind Rafeef.

His penultimate start, when hanging on for third in the Listed Wolf Power 1600 behind Irish Pride and the progressive Rafeef , was a very decent effort.

The Sean Tarry spearhead Samurai Blade has won 2 of his last 3 starts and was beaten just under 2 lengths by Romany Prince in the London News.

He is 2,5kgs better off with the Ferraris runner and rates a decent shout with Piere Strydom up from a good draw.

His stablemate Stonehenge will be up with the pace and has failed to show in two runs since a blank in the Sansui Summer Cup.

Winner

Arctica steps up in class after winning a mile handicap last time out.

He failed to fire in the Wolf Power 1600 but then ran a very decent race lumping 61kgs for a 2,75 length third to Brazuca at his penultimate start.

With the best of the draw and Tarry jockey S’manga Khumalo opting for him ahead of the stable pair, Arctica makes some appeal.

Gary Alexander’s Top Shot gave subsequent Wolf Power winner Irish Pride a half length beating in receipt of 4,5kgs at his penultimate outing after suffering interference late. A meritorious effort.

He then faded to fourth in a lower division handicap next time out.

Switched On

Geoff Woodruff’s Master Switch is a high-class individual who returns from a 16 week break following his excellent third behind Master Sabina in the Summer Cup. He has the credentials to win this but fitness must be a factor against some sharper opposition.

The Lucky Houdalakis trained Man’s Inn seems a bit in-and-out these days, but can gallop when in the mood as his record of 7 wins from 29 starts suggests.

He looks well held by Arctica on his dismal 17 length finish last time and, together with Stonehenge, looks the likely pacesetter.

The grey 7yo Stavinsky has his 84th runand looks to have a tough task.

The son of Stage Call has progressed through his long career from winning 1200m races on the Vaal sand to his most recent success – Turffontein 1800m inside track score back in June last year.

He unsurprisingly failed to stay the 2450m last time and must have an outside place chance if he gets lucky here.

Cool Chardonnay carries topweight and would definitely need more ground to show his best.

Load Up

Exotic punters may be looking to load up and the race looks wide open.

Romany Prince is a fit and decent sort who could hold the edge of Samurai Blade and the high-class Master Switch.

Arctica found winning form last time and he could be the danger.

Perfect Pairs & Princes

Romany Prince goes for a Drum Star double on Saturday after he achieved the milestone

mark of 2500 winners for twice SA champion trainer Ormond Ferraris last year.

It was fitting that the milestone was achieved by a runner racing in the silks of Ferraris stalwart Peter Dimakogiannis, a man who has held his colour privileges for 45 years.

After the win, Dimakogiannis said that he was more thrilled for his trainer than for his personal winner: “We are like a perfect pair in blackjack – and he has always been my trainer – and is my only trainer. I love this man,” Ferraris completed his trainer’s apprenticeship under George Weale, with his licence being granted in 1952.

He trained his first winner, Shenandoah, in 1954.

Drum Star, bred by Pa Serfontein, was a R25.000 National Sale yearling, by Hard Up out of unraced Foveros-mare Star Drums who went to stud as a 2yo (her first foal Terrestrial Beat was born when she was three, and won 4 races).

Trained by Gary Alexander Drum Star went on to win 12 races from 2 to 6, for earnings of R2.2 million, and a MR 116. He won two Gr1 races, the Horse Chestnut 1600 and Champion Stakes at Turffontein, and was runner-up in the Gr1 Sharp Cup, a race won two years earlier by his half brother Planetary Music.

PMG Marches On Turffontein

Grooms Take To The Streets

T

Members of the grooms’ association, Progressive Movement Of Grooms (PMG), took to the streets on Friday, 10 March 2017, to hand over a memorandum to South African racing operator, Phumelela.

he memorandum, addressing matters of grooms’ basic conditions of employment as well as issues of transformation and development, was handed over to Phumelela Racing Executive, Clyde Basel. “Mr Basel said our concerns would be taken seriously,” reported PMG Chairman Victor Ndwashu.

Mr Ndwashu was quick to praise the cooperation they received from the Operator as well as to thank the police and security services. “The march went very well and was very peaceful and we were happy to engage in a good manner. PMG members have a passion for our horses and we respect owners who put food on our table at the end of the day. That’s why we chose to do this thing during the lunchtime for grooms. We never disrupted our work and everyone is back at work this afternoon.”

The Association organised the march after feeling that its concerns were not being addressed via the Industry Liaison Committee meetings. They have given the Operator 7 days to respond to the memorandum.

Levelling The Cheltenham Playing Fields Tradition & Triumph

T

Racing’s Gold Standard

The KZN Breeders Club have introduced a new concept called ‘Levelling The Playing Fields’.

his is a R1 million incentive scheme for horses bred in the province and who have a gross merit rating of 78 or less, giving horses at the lower end of the handicap scale a chance of earning good money for their connections.

In a unique concept, trainers are invited to nominate one horse in their yard that meets all the criteria for participation.

General rules are that the horse nominated is KZN bred in terms of the rules of the KZN Breeders’ Club rules.

It must have a gross merit rating of 78 or less at the time of entry and has had a minimum of five runs at time of entry so their form is well exposed.

Races will be run over 1200m, 1400m, and 1600m with the final run over 1400m.

All races will be on the turf and to win the series the horse will need to be versatile and sound.

A maximum of 30 horses will compete in each of rounds 1,2 and 3 with each round split into two groups of 15 horses – this will be done by ballot.

Riders will also be drawn by ballot and apprentice allowances may be claimed, including in the final.

Weights range between 63kg and 57kgs. MR’s 78 to 76 to carry 63kgs with 1kg off for every three merit rating points to bottom weight of 57kg for horses with ratings 60 and below.

Round 1 will see two races run over 1200m at Scottsville, followed by two races over 1400m at the same venue and two races over 1600m also at Scottsville. Each of these races will carry a R100 000 stake. The final over 1400m will be run at Greyville for a stake of R200 000.

Entry is free but will be restricted to 30 horses and eliminations will be from the lowest merit rating upwards.

If a horse’s MR is raised above 78 after the series has begun, that horse will continue to be eligible for the entire series but will carry top weight of 63kgs.

An added incentive is that each of the owner, trainer and breeder will be eligible for a R50 000 bonus along with the jockey who accumulates the most points over the series.

Entries close at noon on Friday, March 17.

T

The highlight of this week’s Cheltenham Festival is the Timico Gr1 Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase which is run on the final day’s seven race programme on Friday.

he jewel in the crown of the National Hunt racing calendar carries a stake of the equivalent of more than R9 million and is run over 5300m with an energy sapping total of 22 fences to negotiate.

Native River and Cue Card are now the ante-post favourites for Friday after the heavily-fancied Thistlecrack was ruled out with injury.

Last year’s winner Don Cossack, who was trained by Gordon Elliott and ridden by Bryan Cooper for owners Gigginstown Stud, will not be there to defend his crown as he has been retired due to injury.

The Gold Cup boasts a proud history of top-class winners.

Golden Miller won the race five times in the years of 1932-1936. In 1934, he made history when he became the first horse to win the Gold Cup and the Grand National in the same year.

The race has been won by legends of the game, including Arkle, Kauto Star, Denman, Desert Orchid, Kicking King, Dawn Run and Best Mate.

In 1983 trainer Michael Dickinson saddled the first five horses home with Bregawn, Captain John, Wayward Lad, Silver Buck and Ashley House setting a record that is unlikely to be broken for a very long time.

In 2015, Coneygree became the first novice to win the race since 1974.

Tradition

In a show of upholding tradition and saluting the heroes, a statue of the greatest jump jockey of all time, Sir A P McCoy, was unveiled on Champion Day, Tuesday.

McCoy, who retired from the saddle at the end of the 2014/15 season, was champion Jump jockey a record 20 times, taking the title every season between 1995/96 and 2014/15, and partnered an incredible 4,358 Jump winners during his career.

His 31 successes at the Cheltenham Festival included two Gold Cups (1997 Mr Mulligan & 2012 Synchronised) as well as three Champion Hurdles (1997 Make A Stand, 2006 Brave Inca & 2010 Binocular).

The lifesize bronze of the legendary jockey is situated on the Best Mate Plaza.

South African racing fans will be able to enjoy the action live on Tellytrack (Dstv 239).

STORM BIRD STAKES (L) Turffontein Saturday

A dismal run by the previously unbeaten odds-on favourite Kissable was overshadowed by ownerbreeder Gerald Kalil’s superfast King Of Kings filly Daring Diva, who maintained her own impeccable record with a storming win.

issable went off a prohibitive 3-10 in the R150 000 Listed Ruffian Stakes at Turffontein on Saturday, with her close on 14 lengths aggregate winning margin at her first two starts boosting her credentials. But the Paul Matchett trained filly was the first to go at the 400m as she fell away to run stone last of the eight runners.

In so doing, she ended the five year winning run of favourites in this event. It was announced later that she had been found not striding out in front.

Andrew Fortune, fresh off his Fairview hattrick of 24 hours earlier, rode Daring Diva for Barend Botes. The veteran tracked the favourite a length back and pressed the launch button when he saw the white flag going up.

In a matter of two strides, Daring Diva was in front and she went on too powerfully for the

late finishing Outlander, who was beaten 2,75 lengths in a time of 57,61 secs.

La Bella Mia was well beaten into third, with debutante Kenna finishing a 5,15 length fourth.

Bred and owned by Gerald Kalil, Daring Diva is from the last crop of English 2000 Guineas winner King Of Kings out of the five time winning The Sheik mare, Delightfull Diva – who Mr Kalil raced in partnership in the Botes stable.

The KZN-based King of Kings, a son of Sadler’s Wells, gave Aidan O’Brien his first English classic winner.

King of Kings was represented by more than 20 stakes winners during a stud career that saw him stand in Australia, North America, and Switzerland, before ending up in South Africa.

He died at stud from heart failure in 2015.

Daring Diva has won three from three (all with Andrew Fortune up) for stakes of R215 625.

Sean Tarry made it a Listed Storm Bird Stakes double when his Dynasty colt Barrack Street bounced back from an unplaced run in the Kuda Sprint on Sun Met day to open his account on home soil.

arrack Street had ‘high hopes’ written all over him when kept in the Cape for the Summer Of Champions as an unraced 2yo.

He opened his career to win well supported over 800m at the beautiful Southern Suburbs venue in early December.

He then contested the inaugural Kuda Sprint on the Cape’s big day, but after being hampered he finished fifth to local Bold Respect.

Back on home ground at Turfontein on Saturday after a six month break, he showed he could be a really decent sort when running his rivals ragged

to score by 3,50 lengths in a very respectable unpressured time of 56,70 secs.

S’manga Khumalo had Barrack Street tracking pacemaker Quinlan early in the seven horse field and when asked for an effort at the 400m, he lengthened his stride to shake off the momentary attentions of market rival Alfolk.

The De Kock runner finished best of the rest to hold second, ahead of Quinlan.

Paul Peter debut winner Alpine Echo was tardily away and never showed.

In a strung out field, over 16 lengths covered them.

The Klawervlei Stud bred Barrack Street is a R500 000

2016 CTS Lanzerac Ready To Run sale graduate.

He is by Dynasty out of Laptop Lady – and thus a half brother to Equus champion racer and sire Jay Peg (Camden Park).

One would think he would easily go a mile on that sort of pedigree, but he shows plenty of natural speed and looks an exciting prospect for the season.

Barrack Street, who races in the interests of Chris van Niekerk and Mayfair Speculators, has won two races from his three starts and took his stakes earned to R165 625.

Feel The Rush

EGOLI MILE

SUN CHARIOT HANDICAP

GOLD RUSH SPRINT

ascinating sparring sessions between a pair of our top young riders were the highlights of rousing finishes to two of Saturday’s Turffontein non black-type features.

Both sponsored by leading breeders Avontuur, Callan Murray and his apprentice colleague Lyle Hewitson have provided plenty of entertainment for punters and they demonstrated their youthful skills in fine style on Saturday.

At a time when the sport needs new generation heroes, and the champions are nearing, or have hit 50, it is refreshing to see emerging talent of their ilk.

And let’s not forget a young man like Craig Zackey – who adds a dimension with his varied aggressive approach.

It was Hewitson who came out tops on Saturday – beating the determined Murray in two tight calls.

In the jackpot opener, the R135 000 Egoli Mile, Murray looked to have ridden a perfectly judged race from the front on the Australian-bred Alaadel, who was returning from an eight week break.

Murray has fitted in well to the Mike de Kock set-up and riding fit horses makes things a lot easier from a tactical viewpoint.

With Sean Tarry’s late finishing Bold Viking (Hewitson) and De Kock ’s pacesetting Alaadel (Murray) fighting matters out in a ding dong duel to the line, it was Bold Viking who held on well to beat Alaadel by a head in a time of 98,26 secs. This was the first of a Sean Tarry feature hat-trick on the afternoon.

Raydaveric came out of the pack to grab third ahead of the well backed Whosethebossnow.

The winner’s stablemate Copper Pot appeared to go wrong in the running and ran last.

The Bellwood Stud bred winner is a gelded son of Black Minnaloushe out of the one-time winning Northern Guest mare, Norse Woman. A R300 000 BSA National Yearling Sale graduate, he has won 2 races with 1 place from 6 starts for earnings of R145 625.

T

he brothers Marwing opened the Turffontein Saturday feature programme with the decent Silvano filly Zafira outstaying her rivals to score an easy victory in the R135 000 Sun Chariot Handicap.

The 2450m non black-type feature was the first leg of the Pick 6 (nett pool of R2 150 755) and while only six runners lined up, it looked a trappy race on paper.

The 4yo Zafira was taken all the way to Cape Town for a tilt at the Gr2 Cape Stayers on Sun Met day, but things had gone awry when the infamous ‘Cape Crawl’ came into play, turning the 2800m race into a canter and sprint.

While Zante did not set the world alight as she led from the break on Saturday, the astute Weichong Marwing always had Zafira in contention.

Into the 350m he took her past the tiring pacesetter, and a change of legs was all that was required.

She stayed on well at 2-1 and held off the late attentions of the 18-10 favourite Patchit Up Baby by 1,60 lengths in a time of 155,50 secs.

Another Ideal World in the 5yo Zante stayed on a neck back in third.

The Maine Chance Farms owned and bred Zafira is a daughter of the evergreen Silvano out of the Fort Wood mare, Zahira – who won four races from 1400m to 1800m.

Gr3 placed over ground, she has won 4 races with 6 places from 13 starts for stakes of R441 875.

She looks to have every chance of earning some black type into the season.

T

he bumper Pick 6 closed in the R150 000 Gold Rush Sprint, where nine 3yo’s met over the 1100m straight. Arch rivals and friends Lyle Hewitson and Callan Murray dominated the race again.

Hewitson had Clever Guy tucked away two lengths off leaders Aussie Austin and Raasmaal.

At the 250m marker Murray looked to square matters as he sent Raasmaal with a powerful run for home down the inside.

But Hewitson wasn’t in a sentimental mood, and he brought the flashy Clever Guy down the outside with a sustained run.

In a race that Murray may watch again and wonder how he ran second, Clever Guy finished marginally too powerfully and held off Raasmaal to win by 0,30 lengths in a time of 63,81 secs.

Aussie Austin was there for a long way and held on for third, just under a length back.

In a sad sight, the recently gelded Aggressive broke down in running.

David Southey bred the white-socked Clever Guy from Argonaut out of the one-time winning Fort Wood mare, Wish For Wisdom.

He looks promising – having won 3 from 5 starts with 1 place – his only unplaced effort being behind Matador Man in the Listed Secretariat Stakes.

The Steve Moffatt trained Clever Guy took his earnings to R237 375 and with his racing style and speed we are unlikely to have seen the last of him.

Exquisite Touch and S'manga Khumalo breeze in

Tarry’s Exquisite Touch BAUHINIA HANDICAP (L) Turffontein Saturday

T

SA champion trainer Sean Tarry dominated proceedings at Turffontein on Saturday, winning three of the six features on the ten race programme.

arry picked up impressive winners in the Listed Storm Bird Stakes (Barrack Street) and the Egoli Mile (Bold Viking), but it was the return to form of his lightly raced Var filly Exquisite Touch, who romped to glory in the Listed Bauhinia Handicap, who would have likely pleased him most.

An electrifyingly fast galloper, Exquisite Touch had won the Ruffian Stakes at the corresponding meeting in 2016 to make it two from two and signal a promising career ahead.

She started 3-10 at her next start in the Gr2 SA Fillies Nursery, but ran a rather modest fourth behind Fursa, after losing her starting stall certificate.

Rested for just over six months, she had one prep before being shuttled to the Cape for the richly endowed CTS 1200, where she never showed.

All’s great with hindsight in this game and that was probably a bridge too far for the inexperienced youngster at her second run after a rest.

Back at home on Saturday, she was easy to back at 6’s and stormed in to beat the classy topweighted Joan Ranger by 1,25 lengths in a time of 56,66 secs – the fastest of the three 1000m races on the day.

Lyle Hewitson gives everything a chance and he steered Paul Peter longshot Movie Show through late for third to shade the gallant frontrunner Hashtag Strat, who has a heart bigger than herself.

Disappointment of the race was the SA 1000m record holder Scandal, who was not herself, and ran last.

The Waterford Stud bred Exquisite Touch is bred on the same Var/Elliodor cross as champion Val De Ra and is out of four-time winner,Lavender Sky. A R350 000 2015 Emperors Palace Select Yearling Sale graduate, she was one of the astute Tarry’s ‘picks of the sale’ – in fact the man with the great eye couldn’t believe he had picked up the smart bay at that price.

Leading owner Chris van Niekerk’s runner has won 3 of her 6 starts with 1 place for stakes of R273 750 and should go on to fulfil her early potential now.

Beataboutthebush is geared down

by Andrew Fortune to beat Star Burst Galaxy (Callan Murray)

BREEDERS GUINEAS L Fairview Friday

Greeff & Fortune's Green Light!

M

The combination of Alan Greeff and jockey Andrew Fortune maintained their superb winning run with a hat-trick at Fairview on Friday.

ost impressive of their trio was the Gimmethegreenlight filly Beataboutthebush, who cruised in to win the R150 000 Listed Breeders Guineas.

Young stallion Gimmethegreenlight has hit a purple patch and the smart filly’s first black-type success came just a week after her sire stamped his authority on Fairview’s Listed Ibhayi Stakes, by siring both the winner Gimme The Stars and third-placed Green Lantern.

On Friday, Beataboutthebush became the son of More Than Ready’s fifth first-crop stakes winner.

Greeff held a tactical upper-hand in the mile turf contest with three runners, and it was not surprising – in view of the favourite’s stamina doubts – to see Seattle Burning out front and ensuring a true-run afffair.

Beataboutthebush was always relaxed in midfield, but just as former Gauteng stakes performer Star Burst Galaxy looked dangerous after tracking the pacemaker, Fortune set the Greeff flyer alight.

In a matter of strides, Beataboutthebush allayed any fears about whether she’d get the trip, when she rocketed into the lead.

Fortune eased Beataboutthebush up before the line and she won tightly held by a half length in a time of 95,93 secs.

She beat the very consistent Star Burst Galaxy with ease, with

Yvette Bremner (two winners on the day) maintaining her good form with an excellent effort by the seemingly outgunned Fantasy Quest in third.

The Cape based stakes winner The Merry Widow was favourite, but came under early pressure and did not appear to stay the mile. She plodded into fourth.

The rest were well beaten.

The Varsfontein-bred winner boasts a near-perfect formline of four wins and a second from as many starts.

Raced by the Greeffs and the Scribantes, she is well on her way to recouping the R300 000 that Lee Scribante laid out for her at the 2015 BSA National 2yo Sale.

This latest win pushed her earnings to R233 950 – and does not include the BSA Added Value Stakes Bonus of R77 500.

A half-sister to Gr3 East Cape Derby winner True Master (Jet Master), she is the second stakes winner produced by talented Bushra (Badger Land), a dual Gr3 winner herself and dam of five winners from as many runners.

I

n a Mailbag letter to the Sporting Post in mid 2016, prominent owner Brian Burnard voiced concerns over a number of racing issues in his home province of KZN. Stating that “it serves no purpose trying to ‘ duck and dive ‘ the issues” he said “The only solution I can see is for owners to take up the responsibility for their own horses.”

Mr Burnard did just that, canvassing for support and establishing the Independent Owners’ Association, which held its inaugural meeting on 23 February 2017 in the Members Lounge at Greyville.

In his address, he stated, “The main objectives of this Association is to give the Owners, who are the principal financiers of Horseracing, a voice in all matters pertaining to this sport of ours, and at the same time negotiate the best returns for their substantial investment therein, and afford them a enjoyable experience in Horseracing. Likewise, whether we like it or not, to achieve our goals, while remaining aware of the financial problems that exist, Owners need to bring their side to the party, in keeping their racing accounts up to date, and actively participating in improving the lot of the Racing Industry. And while we strive to achieve these objectives going forward, I believe it should be done in a constructive, and not destructive manner.”

Asked why he has chosen to take on this task, Mr Burnard explained that when he got involved with racing, it didn’t take him long to realise that owners don’t have a lot of input as to how racing is done. “I sat back and thought it shouldn’t be working this way. We should at least have a say. And that’s really how it started.”

Progress so far The new association has mainly been dealing with the administrative headaches that come with establishing an organisation of this nature, but it’s all been done strictly by the book. They are proud to be a registered NPO, they have got a logo and have their website up and running, which includes their Memorandum of Incorporation and application forms for joining. The board currently consists of Brian Burnard (Chairman), Daryll Marscia and Mayesh Chetty.

They are still fine-tuning details such as membership fees, as the majority of IOA members are also members of Gold Circle.

“We are looking to work something out with Gold Circle and hope to negotiate a joint fee.”

Brian was quick to praise Gold Circle’s open door policy.

“Gold Circle have been more than open. So much so that we have official representation on the Gold Circle racing committee".

Key areas of concern are the sustainabiilty of racing in the face of rising costs, the implementation of contracts between owners and trainers to ensure a fairer deal for both parties and improved engagement and communication at all levels. Mr Burnard acknowledged that

there have already been some ‘robust’ meetings with stake holders, but felt strongly that change was necessary to implement checks and balances and bring about improved transparency. But it’s not just a one-way street.

“We have quite a brain pool in our ownership ranks and we hope that we can also bring something to the table to help Gold Circle increase turnover and efficiencies in the long run.”

Although there have been appeals for him to make the association a national one, Mr Burnard says they are focussed on KZN for now. “We need to get our house in order and get this model to work.

After that, hopefully there will be a natural progression, depending on demand.”

Brian also stated that for the IOA to succeed, all Racehorse Owners should get involved, and those that have not yet joined should do so. “Any interested parties can visit our website - www. ioassociation.co.za - where they can download and submit an IOA application form. Alternately, I can be contacted directly at brianb@ burnardraaff.co.za He further appealed to the racing public at large “not to listen to all the untruths, negativity and rumour mongering currently doing the rounds, pertaining to our gathering of information and ongoing negotiations with Parties concerned. No official decisions have been taken on any matters, and in any event, prior to any such decisions taken, the IOA will firstly consult with its Members for their approval or otherwise thereof. The IOA further distances itself from all the hearsay made by people who have their own agendas, and don’t act in the best interests of Racing.”

is Key Why are we being locked out?

I

It has been my experience that most of what’s worth knowing in life can be learnt from horses. Or from working with them.

Because horses pay no attention to who you are. None whatsoever. They judge you on HOW you do things. And how you do things generally informs and influences how THEY do things. Which is great, provided you are doing things correctly.

The bad news is, if you get it wrong, your horse will start behaving in an undesirable manner (which most people term ‘behaving badly’). And if your horse is acting up, the hard truth is that to figure out why, you generally don’t need to look further than the nearest mirror.

n pursuit of nothing in particular, I found a really good article recently discussing a common rider error (usually caused by lack of knowledge) of trying to get a horse to do what you want by force, rather than by learning and employing the correct aids. “You cannot force an animal that outweighs you by ten times. It is illogical. If you try to over power the horse you will fail.” Instead the writer advocates meticulous implementation of the correct principles. “If done right, it offers balance and feeling. I encourage everyone to work these aids and rework them. Until they make sense. Until they are habit.

You will know when you are doing it right, it will feel right. It will make life easier. A balanced horse is a simpler horse.”Simplicity is the key.

Easy in theory, incredibly difficult in practice. The key is to keep trying and to keep practicing until you understand and then until you get it right consistently. Because the alternatives are to stop riding the horse, or risk getting hurt, horses and riding problems are very good at niggling at you and making you pick at them until you find a solution Unfortunately this habit is not always considered an asset in other aspects of life.

Stakes

As I’ve still not had a satisfactory resolution to my queries regarding Stakes and how they are set, I’m having another go at trying to unravel them this week because I’m a little bemused by the Racing Association’s refusal to communicate with me, with the Sporting Post and by extension, with all of you.

At the time of corporatisation, the assets of racing were pooled into a public company called Raceco, which would eventually

of its dealings, so we do not know whether it does in fact contribute towards any of those initiatives and if so, to what extent. It would also be nice to know what other ‘special projects’ those funds might be made available for, who can apply and what the process is. I’d vote for a training programme for retired jockeys in line with the UK’s JETS, a database to track our retired racehorses, or possibly even the preservation of some of our historical information, much of which seems so scattered.

Or maybe even a website for the Racing Trust.

downloaded the latest annual report and voila! There it was. Truly. The RA directors are listed on Page 4 and the Racing Trust Trustees on Page 10. Really not that big a deal at all. So the RA pipped me to the ‘breaking news’ post by a period of quite some months. If it’s OK to publish it on the RA website and annual report, then there can be no reason not to publish it in the Sporting Post.

The names of previous Trustees were also disseminated and I have written about them too. So I’m not quite sure what has changed (other than a few names on the list).

The Stakes Agreement

What we do know is that the ‘stakes pot’ section comes up for negotiation with the Operator every year. If the Racing Trust is true to its mandate to protect the interests of the racing industry, it stands to reason that they become what we know The Racing Association would fight to keep today as Phumelela. is funded primarily by their contribution to Because the race the stakes pot to a the Operator by way of minimum, leaving the clubs had handed over their assets, the nominations and Operator the bulk of the Thoroughbred the responsibility of acceptance monies it Horseracing Trust ‘putting on the show’ receives from owners in was formed to act as and leaving the Trust ‘Phumelela country’. a safeguard on their to use their remaining behalf.

Phumelela shares and mandated However, now we need to discuss with “the protection and furtherance the Racing Association because of the interests of the racing the Racing Association has been industry.” I feel the word ‘protection’ appointed to administer the affairs is particularly important. of the Racing Trust. No, I don’t really In order to carry out its mandate, understand why either. However, the Racing Trust is funded by that’s the way it is, so it’s worth listing the dividends it receives from its who the RA is and how it works. As Phumelela shares. The Trust owns per page 4 of the RA’s 2016 Annual somewhere in the region of 35.25% Report, the RA Board is comprised of Phumelela shares (it may in of William Nsele (Chairman), fact be a little more than that).

Therefore I have a feeling that the Racing Trust’s The Racing The Racing Trust Phumelela dividend cheque Association is is funded by the probably requires an extra funded primarily dividends it receives by the Operator large box to accommodate the final figure. by way of the from its Phumelela nominations It is my understanding shares. and acceptance that the Trust is a non profit organisation and that its income is monies it receives from owners in supposedly distributed across the ‘Phumelela country’. This is fairly stakes pot, the Gauteng Jockeys clearly the case if one refers to page Academy, the Gauteng Work 29 of the RA Annual report, where it Riders’ Programme, the informal reflects that the RA receives just over racing sector in the Northern Cape 1 million in membership fees and a (anyone else find this particular little over R15 million in nomination item a little odd?), contributions and acceptance monies. Given that towards research and development the operating expenses of the RA in respect of African Horse Sickness, amount to just over R16,5 million and special projects such as per annum (including a salary bill contributions towards HIV testing of of over R5 million, R2,7 million for advertising and R600k on the grooms. website!), it seems fair to say the Unfortunately the Racing Trust Operator (via owners) funds the lion’s does not feel the need to divulge any

share via noms and acceptances.

The other reason it is important to know who the RA board is and how it works, is because they nominate 5 of the 7 Trustees to the Racing Trust Board.

Back to the subject at hand.

I am reasonably sure no-one held a gun to the head of any of the current Racing Trust Trustees or the RA board of Directors to take up their positions. We constantly hear how everything they do is ‘for the good of racing’, so why then have an Racing Trust For the sake of clarity, the Racing issue about making their names and Trust Board currently comprises contributions public? owner/breeder Brian Finch One puts your name to something (Chairman) Steinhoff / Klawervlei's as a public show of commitment.

Mike de Kock’s decision to close his doors in KZN and move his string up to Randjesfontein came as a shock to some. “This is a business decision.

We will still be raiding for three or four months in winter with a small, exclusive string during the Champions Season,” he said.

Milnerton trainer Candice Bass-Robinson was fined R750 by the PE Stipes in terms of Rule 10.5.10 - for failing to send a letter of delegation or have a representative for her runner Magic Trick in the Listed Breeders Guineas at Fairview on Friday.

Magic Trick ran a dismal race, but the yard bounced back with a double at Kenilworth on Saturday.

That’s how many years the Cheltenham Festival, being held from Tuesday to Friday this week, has been in existence.

The National Hunt Chase was first held at Market Harborough. It was initially titled the Grand National Hunt Meeting and took place at several other locations early on.

Over 200 000 people from all over the world will attend the four day spectacular, the busiest week of the year for British bookies .

This year they are even taking bets on how many pints of Guinness will be drunk, with 220 000 -plus, the early favourite.

Simons Says The failure of the 3-10 Kissable in Saturday’s Ruffian Stakes was an expensive one for many of us.

Jockey Randall Simons explained to the Stipes that this filly had slipped coming out the stalls, recovered and had shown her usual speed; however at the 600m, when in front, he already felt that Kissable was not herself and was not travelling as well as she would have in her races.

Even though she managed to lead to the 300m, at this point she had tired badly and he felt something amiss and did not persevere with his ride. Simons also added that his mount seemed to be blowing very heavily. She was found to be lame on the left fore.

Sunday’s’ televised racing blackout from Scottsville was a stark reminder for all of us to appreciate the luxury of live racing. The days of radio or telephone commentaries have long been forgotten by most! While it wasn’t the end of the world, questions must be raised as to when the equipment was tested – as all hell broke loose when the first race neared and nobody seemed to know what was going on. Like any self - respecting modern day entity, the PR machine kicked in and Tellytrack have laid the blame squarely at the feet of somebody else – in this case, service provider Neotel.

The NHA have clamped down on SA champion jockey S’manga Khumalo’s ‘poor recent history’ with regards to rule 58.10.2 and have imposed the biggest fine we have seen for excessive use of the whip. Khumalo got R5000 by way of an admission of guilt for the excessive manner in which he used the crop on Oriental Oak at Turffontein on 4 March.

Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon.’ Whilst the newly established BSA sales team, together with the TBA continue to represent the interests of both breeders and vendors alike, one hopes to see more collaboration between the sales companies going forward in order to better serve the industry as a whole.”

Top Sires Dominate Investec Derby & Oaks

G

The world’s number one sire has 30 entries, including champion 2yo Churchill and Gr1 Racing Post Trophy runner up Yucatan. The latter is a son of champion 2yo filly Six Perfections, winner at 3 of the Breeder’s Cup Mile.

alileo also has Belgravia, half brother to Drakenstein stallion Duke Of Marmalade, and Diodorus, half brother to Scott Bros stallion Eightfold Path, their dam Divine Proportions champion filly at 2 and at 3. Then there is Rekindling, a brother to Summerhill sire Golden Sword. Rekindling is by Derby winner High Chaparral, Golden Sword finished fifth in the Derby in Sea The Stars’ year.

Mirage Dancer, by Galileo’s son Frankel, is another with SA connections. His Gr1 winning dam Heat Haze is a three parts sister to champion and Breeders’ Cup winner Banks Hill (Danehill), the dam of Mauritzfontein sire Ideal World.

Galileo’s sons Teofilo, New Approach, Rip Van Winkle, Frankel, Soldier Of Fortune, and Nathaniel all have Derby entries.

Galileo’s sire Sadler’s Wells and dam Urban Sea have both exerted a huge influence on the Derby and this could well be extended in 2017.

Galileo’s half brother Sea The Stars (Cape Cross), sire of last year’s winner Harzand, has sons Big Challenge, Fujaira Bridge, Karawaan and Towie. In this context, Harzand’s halfbrother Haripour (by Shamardal) was second on his only racecourse outing and he too holds a Derby entry.

Urban Sea (dam of Galileo and Sea The Stars) could have 3 sons with Derby runners, as her Born To Sea (Invincible Spirit) is sire of 3yo Star Of Rory.

Galileo Dubawi, Europe’s second best sire after Galileo, predictably is strongly represented. The son of Dubai Millennium (who suffered his only ever defeat in the Derby) has a dozen which include Benbatl (out of G1 Flower Bowl Invitational winner Nahrain), Bin Battuta (a half-brother to champion sprinter Dream Ahead), Devamani (a half-brother to Gr1 Prix Ganay winning sire Dariyan), and Forever Song (whose dam is a Gr2 winning half-sister to three Gr1 winners, including Galileo’s Nathaniel).

His Japanese counterpart King Kamehameha (Kingmambo) has Promise Of Peace as a Blue Riband entry.

The Best In Show family’s leading stallion Redoute’s Choice has Ballymacoll bred and owned Pivoine, who is from the same family as Highland’s stallion Potala Palace (Singspiel), and out of a Montjeu half-sister to the dam of G1 Melbourne Cup winner Fiorente (Monsun).

Rock), whose dam is a halfsister to Rock Of Gibraltar (who like Fastnet Rock is by Danehill).

Dubawi’s daughter Wuheida, who accounted for Promise To Be True when victorious in last season’s Gr1 Prix Marcel Boussac, is still undefeated. She’s out of multiple Gr1 winner Hibaayeb, a daughter of Singspiel from the family of Oaks winner Oh So Sharp (Kris).

Dubawi also has the filly Kazimiera, who is out of a daughter of German champion sire Monsun and Oaks winner Kazzia (Zinaad).

The pair’s tally takes Gimmethegreenlight’s number of first crop stakes winners to five, with his previous black type winners including Gr1 Premier’s Champion Stakes winner Gunner, and Gr2/Gr3 winners Green Pepper and Hack Green.

The son of More Than Ready is also having a good spell with juveniles again, recent winners including Rose In

The Cape Thoroughbred Sales March Yearling Sale enters its sixth year and will be held over two days this weekend at Durbanville Racecourse.

With 235 lots on offer by a diverse range of sires, there is bound to be a size and style to suit every taste and pocket.

Predicting The Future New Stallion evaluations in the annual Breeder’s Handbook have included interesting predictions in its twenty year history. The focus in the book has always been on the power of the female lines, and kin-breeding through them.

Singled out for Gimmethegreenlight when he first went to stud were links to the Black Ray female line (of Blushing Groom among others), and picking out Khaled as a signpost, leading to Fort Wood’s grandam Change Water and Badger Land’s 3rd dam Avignon. Add a bit more of also-shortlisted Hyperion (sire of Khaled, to boot), and Fort Wood’s dam Fall Aspen and Badger Land’s grandam Mime are as close as you’ll get.

Hey presto! Black-type earners from Gimmethegreenlight’s first crop include Hack Green and Green Pepper (out of Fort Wood mares) and Skip The Red (out of mare by Badger Land’s son Badger’s Drift, whose female line goes to a full sister of Khaled).

Here Gimmethegreenlight has an interesting yearling filly on offer with #43, out of Lydia Lopokovo. The yearling is the second foal of her dam, who has a dream pedigree construction – bred at Highlands, by Avontuur’s sire Var. That stallion’s pedigree makes him close kin to Lydia’s dam Magical Margot (Nureyev x Storm Bird). Var’s damsire Zilzal (by Nureyev) duplicates a major female line, the one of Lady Be Good, who also is Lydia’s 5th dam. Print out a 6-generation pedigree and you’ll be bowled over.

Champion racehorses are often closely kinbred themselves through their sire and dam, but more often are out of closely kinbred dams. Gimme’s #43 has no Fort Wood or Badger’s Drift to achieve the first option, but she sure as oats has the second qualification through her dam.

Moving Into Contention

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

Punter’s Pal

Just As If Scripted

Greyville 5 March A MR86 Handicap over 1200m topped the bill on Sunday and in what not surprisingly proved to be the faster of the two races over the distance, the favourite MY PAL AL did the business. Well supported into 11/10, Alistair Gordon’s charge made all. He raced a length and a quarter clear for most of the journey and extended that advantage to three over the final 400m.

The faster of the two 1000m races on the card was the MR66 Handicap in which the Curved Ball filly JE SUIS SILVER registered her second victory. Soon up handy, despite being a little slow into stride, Tony Rivalland’s charge struck the front 150m out and kept on strongly late to beat the steadily gaining SEATOPS by a neck.

They also ran two races over 1600m and stopping the clock in the fastest time in these was WHAT A SCORCHER when causing an upset in the MR62 affair.

Freely available at 28/1 on the off, Jeff Freedman’s charge was always handy. He ran on strongly in the short home straight and got up late to deny the more fancied DALE HOUSE. TITBITS Having only her second career outing here, OSPREY won the opening maiden plate for the girls over 1400m going away by two and a half.

Notebook

Horses worth following at their next few starts...

HOT TODDY (C Laird, KZN)

Fairview 6 March They also raced on the poly on Monday where victory in the opening maiden plate over 1000m went to the easy to back ON THAT NOTE. Freely available at 9/1 on the off, the lessor fancied of Alan Greeff’s three runners was positioned ninth of the ten coming off the bend. The front running NACRE kept on determinedly in the short home straight, and with the rest comfortably beaten On That Note did well to get up late.

A MR87 Handicap topped the bill and in what proved to be the faster of the two 1600m events, the Horse Chestnut gelding NOTTING HILL registered his fifth career victory. Nicely positioned in second in what quickly became a strung out field, Dorrie Sham’s charge took up the running 300m out and comfortably accounted for the always handy MASTER JAMES by a length and a half.

The faster of the two 1300m races was the MR68 Handicap won by AGTERSKOT. Taken straight to the front, in a race where there was no real pace early on, the 4yo led throughout. She kept on strongly over the final 400m and although COASTAL SPELL ran on well from midfield, she still had half a length to spare at the wire.

TITBITS SILVAN JAZZ ran on well from midfield when only beaten by the narrowest of margins in the MR78 Handicap over 1000m.

The recent maiden winner CHINA EXPRESS finished well from midfield when getting up late to complete a double in the MR61 Handicap over 1300m.

Very unusually, there were no sprint races in Pietermaritzburg on Wednesday. The first three races all took place over 1400m and not surprisingly the fastest of these was the Middle Stakes won by the favourite SECRET WARNING. He got away well when the gates opened and raced close to the speed throughout. He put his head in front shortly after passing the 200m pole and went on to score very comfortably from the running on THE POET by two.

They also ran three races over 1600m and quickest home amongst these was CHROME BLUE. In a race that looked to be run at a steady pace throughout, the winner raced in the rear for most of the journey. He fairly flew when the race developed into a sprint 400m out, and in what proved to be a real thriller, he got up in the very

Four From Twelve Turffontein 7 March In terms of distance, the easiest victory at Turffontein’s inner track on Tuesday afternoon was that of the Sporting Post’s top bet ROYAL UTOPIA when getting off the mark in the maiden 2200m. Always top of the boards, the 2/1 favourite was soon up handy. She was ridden to lead approaching the 400m marker and went on to score with authority by three and three quarters.

A MR88 Handicap topped the bill and in what proved to be the fastest of the three 1600m races, the well supported FAREEQ registered his fourth career victory. He took a bump when the gates opened, but despite that was soon in touch with the leaders. He ran on strongly in the short home straight and under a well-judged ride from Callan Murray, he comfortably accounted for the front running CUMBERLAND by a length and a quarter.

Mike De Kock’s Charge has now won four from twelve.

1200m was the only other distance to stage more than one race, and the faster of the two here was the MR66 Handicap won by QUATTRO. Freely available at 8/1 on the off, Grant Maroon’s charge raced in midfield for most of the journey. He quickened well over the final 400m and got up late to beat DRAGOON (raced handy – led 200m) by a half.

TITBITS A little slow into stride, the very uneasy favourite DON CHRISTO (evens out to 5/2) was baulked for a run 400m out when a three quarter length runner up in the MR72 Handicap over 1200m.

Eased late, the 3yo BOILING POINT showed considerable improvement when getting off the mark in the opening work riders’ maiden plate over 1450m.

last stride to deny LONELYARETHEBRAVE. The one remaining race was a MR94 Handicap over 1950m and in an event where there was no real pace early on, victory here went to the progressive 3yo DRESS FOR SUCCESS. Content to sit at the back of the six for most of the journey, Paul Lafferty’s charge made her move early in the home straight. She struck the front 200m out after shifting right across the track, and kept on strongly late to beat the determined LITTLE CHAPEL (raced 2nd – led 350m) by a half.

TITBITS Allowed to drift as if a win was out of the question (4/1 out to 18/1), the Charles Laird trained newcomer HOT TODDY won the maiden plate over 1600m for the girls going away by six and a half.

Just As We Said Vaal 9 March They raced on the outside track on Thursday where the fastest of the three 1200m races was the bill topping MR96 Handicap won by JUST AS I SAID. Sent off a well-supported favourite at 2/1, Lucky Houdalakis’ charge led throughout.

He was challenged strongly by RAFA over the final 150m, and after a thrilling tussle he only got the verdict by a neck.

They also ran three races over 1600m and quickest home amongst these was Just As I Said’s stable companion CAPE MARIGOLD. The six runners were surprisingly well strung out early on and positioned at the rear, the joint top weight had at least six lengths to make up. Once given rein though she quickened best of all, and won well by a length and a half after striking the front 170m or so from home.

Two of the three remaining races were staged over 1000m. The MR72 Handicap was the faster of these and here victory went to the Sean Tarry trained SILVER KING. Nibbled at on course into 6/1 from 7’s, the 3yo King’s Chapel gelding raced up with the pace throughout. The rank outsider of the fourteen horse party LE TIGRE raced within a length and a quarter for most of the journey and that one launched a determined challenge 200m from home. They fought out a thrilling battle on the run to the line with Silver King only getting the verdict by a neck.
