Gr1 SA CLASSIC at Turffontein this Saturday

T

The return match of the two crack Silvano colts who dominated the SA Triple Crown first leg looks to be a major drawcard in the R2 million Gr1 SA Classic to be run over 1800m at Turffontein on Saturday.

he duel between Piere Strydom on the Gauteng Guineas winner Janoobi and Anthony Delpech on the flying runner-up Al Sahem in early March had racing enthusiasts on the edge of their seats.

The Gr2 success was a magic milestone moment too for trainer Mike de Kock who celebrated his 3000th winner.

Triple Crown The two rivals meet head on again on Saturday over 200m further, as Janoobi aims to keep De Kock’s hopes of another Triple Crown success alive – 18 years after he won his first with the great Horse Chestnut.

The Guineas victory was a gutsy show of raw ability from the smart Janoobi, who had just returned from an energy sapping trip to Cape Town, where he had run a cracking fourth behind new Klawervlei stallion prospect William Longsword in the CTS Mile.

He won under a peach of a ride from the front by Strydom and known as being not the easiest of characters, Janoobi is reported to be settling better as he is taught to conserve his energy in his races.

This will give the Al Sahem supporters something to think about as the general consensus after their last clash was that Al Sahem would use the extra ground to exact his revenge.

Brazuca 4yo colt - Teofilio ) (Choisir ex Base Paradise

14r-5w-7p

g Gr2 Colorado Kin s ke Sta March Turffontein, 25er for train JJ van Vuuren

Is it that simple?

We suggest caution. Strydom is a master at manipulating the pace to suit his needs and the small field will certainly play into his hands. Janoobi is also out of an unraced Rakeen mare – which gives hope of some stamina reserves, although there is nothing proven to suggest the family stays.

Rival There is no question that Sean Tarry’s Al Sahem will be a lively challenger.

His dam Alderry did stay and in fact ran third in the SA Fillies Classic on this day seven years ago behind Spiced Gold.

Considerably less experienced than Janoobi, Al Sahem was having only his third outing in the Guineas.

Lack of racing experience was cited as one of the reasons he was beaten.

He is bound to have come on from that and if trainer Sean Tarry needs to hot things up a bit for his opponent, he has two others in the race that can go up there to ensure Janoobi feels every inch of the 1800m.

Overdue Besides Janoobi, Mike de Kock has the very decent SP top-rated Heavenly Blue, who looks overdue to grab a first Gr1 success after consistent performances.

After winning his first two starts with ease, the son of Snitzel ran on

2013

powerfully in both the Gr3 Graham Beck Stakes and the Gr2 Dingaans, before travelling to Cape Town for the Cape Guineas.

Running from a poor draw, he can be excused an ordinary run in the Mother City and was then called up for the Gauteng Guineas.

He once again took a while to fire the engines but was finishing strongly for a 1,50 length third.

His dam only won to a mile, but his relaxed style of racing and his powerful finishes shown to date suggest that the 1800m will be well within his compass.

The Unagi connections obviously believe their gelding can be competitive at this level, and the small field does give everybody a fair chance of earning.

The son of Admire Main is the most experienced horse in the field and has won 4 of his 13 starts. Craig Zackey takes over from the injured/ suspended Andrew Fortune.

Unagi failed to settle at his only start at 1800m when beaten 4 lengths by Let It Rain and showed prominently in the Gauteng Guineas when falling away to be beaten just under 6 lengths by Janoobi.

Good Prep Raymond Danielson jumps aboard Tilbury Fort for Sean Tarry.

The son of Horse Chestnut ran a decent prep a fortnight back when beaten by a clever ride on the promising Coral Fever.

He did run fourth under 3 lengths back to Janoobi in the Gauteng Guineas, and while his sole blot on an overall consistent copybook was his trip to the Cape for the CTS Mile, he did catch the eye when chasing Matador Man home in the Secretariat Stakes in early December.

The third of the Tarry trio, and the ride of S’manga Khumalo, Furiosa jumps from the rails draw and will be looking for improvement on his 8 lengths unplaced finish in the Gauteng Guineas.

The son of Fastnet Rock was reported to have pulled up lame and may warrant another chance.

He was beaten 4 lengths by Orchid Island into second in the Sea Cottage Stakes three starts back, and then showed genuine resolve over the Turffontein inside 1800m to beat the older Amsterdam in a MR80 Handicap. It has to be said that Amsterdam has struggled to assert himself in three starts since.

It is difficult seeing Furiosa beat the top three.

Raider Cape West Coast trainer Andre Nel saddles the only out-of-province challenger in Kampali Campari.

History is not really on his side the last Cape horse to win this race was the Mike Bass trained English Garden back in 2011.

The lightly raced son of Querari has run all his three races at Kenilworth and will be having his first outing on the Highveld.

He has won two of those three starts (always well supported in the betting) well and steps up from a mile to the 1800m for the first time.

He remains a dark horse in terms of his upside but must have plenty of scope for improvement.

His Captain Al dam only won up to 1400m, but the manner of the way he stayed on over a mile last time suggested he would get more.

Polytrack Johan Janse van Vuuren trained Crowd Pleaser has registered both of his wins on the Greyville polytrack.

His turf form, including a modest 7 lengths off Orchid Island in the Listed Sea Cottage Stakes, suggests he could struggle to assert in this company.

Alaadel is the third of the De Kock coupling. The son of Sebring ran a fair fourth, without threatening, behind Pagoda in Saturday's Derby Trial. He is the most junior rated of the nine runners and his effort in the Listed Sea Cottage Stakes where he finished a distant last after being reported not striding out by his jockey, can be ignored. He will strip a fit horse and must have outside place prospects in a small field.

Top Trio All eyes will be on the top trio as tactics are likely to play a major role in the outcome.

The pace is likely to be on courtesy of Sean Tarry and one cannot imagine Piere Strydom being allowed to dictate too much on Janoobi.

De Kock has strong back-up in the form of Heavenly Blue who will relish the opportunity to come on late off a decent gallop.

Al Sahem lacks experience but has shown great potential and he could show us just how good he is on Saturday.

It should be a terrific race – whoever wins it.

First leg winner Smiling Blue Eyes looks set to take her next step to Triple Tiara glory

Gr1 SA Fillies Classic PAST WINNERS

Gr1 Wilgerbosdrift SA FILLIES CLASSIC at Turffontein this Saturday

S

The smashing grey Dynasty filly Smiling Blue Eyes has gone from humble maiden winner to SA Triple Tiara princess- in -waiting in three quick steps.

All eyes will be on her when she takes on 12 opponents in Saturday’s R1 million Wilgerbosdrift Gr1 SA Fillies Classic. miling Blue Eyes is the new talking horse in Highveld Racing. She certainly looks to have the ability to match her catchy name and illustrious parentage.

Long Prices

Lightly raced, she has her sixth start on Saturday after emphatic victories in the Gr3 Fillies Mile and the Gauteng Fillies Guineas at her last two starts.

Interestingly she started at 22-1 when winning those two features.

The only guarantee is that the Bookies won’t be so generous as we go into the second leg of the Wilgerbosdrift SA Triple Tiara.

Having already shown she goes 2000m when winning her maiden, and overcoming a wide draw and having a major leeway to make up in the Guineas, she looks well above average and will be racing for the first time with the spotlight well and truly fixed on her on Saturday.

Her opposition are capable without yet quite looking star material.

Rose Blooms

One of those is Golden Sword’s’ smart daughter Belle Rose who played herself into contention for this

race with a big win beating Wind Chill in last Saturday’s Listed Oaks Trial.

If Mike de Kock decides that the intervening week will give her sufficient recovery time after what was a hard fought win, she must have a chance of repeating the feat – and Anton Marcus will add plenty of value.

The gutsy and courageous galloper Safe Harbour is rated vastly superior to Smiling Blue Eyes at this stage of the game – but she is well exposed. She failed to fire on her return from a tough Cape campaign when well beaten by Smiling Blue Eyes in the Guineas.

Safe Harbour (like the winner) was drawn very wide that day and with improved fitness, she can challenge – particularly if we take cognisance of her great near win efforts in the Cape Fillies Guineas and Paddock Stakes.

The Australian bred Al Hawraa was one of the few chasing Smiling Blue Eyes home in the Guineas and the daughter of New Approach looks likely to appreciate the extra on Saturday.

She looks ready and fit to run a massive race and to try and turn the 2,60 length deficit around with the favourite.

Excuses

Listed Devon Air Stakes winner Maleficent has failed to deliver on

her best 2yo performances and is fast running out of excuses.

The daughter of Judpot has flopped in her last three feature outings – the Cape Fillies Guineas, Three Troikas and then 8,25 lengths back in the Gauteng Fillies Guineas last time.

While it could be argued that she needed her last run, she needs to show more before we consider her for inclusion again.

Babbling Brooke showed for a long way before being relegated to a 4,40 length fourth in the Gauteng Fillies Guineas at her last start.

With Piere Strydom aboard again, she has to be considered but still needs to show conclusively that she gets the 1800m.

Visitor

Joey Ramsden has had mixed success travelling North since Gerrit Schlechter got Taupo Retreat up to win the November Handicap in 2001.

The Milnerton conditioner tries his luck with the Listed Irridescence Stakes winner Captain Gambler, who caught the eye on Sun Met day with a third behind Edict Of Nantes in the Investec Cape Derby.

While that effort looks great on paper, it was a race won tactically by Frankie Dettori – and the form needs to be tested still.

She comes off a 9 week break and may need it.

Island Style

Orchid Island is the third of the De Kock trio.

She was nibbled at in the betting in the Gauteng Guineas and ran a fair third and almost four lengths behind

King Of The Poly Gr3 KINGS CUP at Greyville this Friday

W

e have enjoyed night racing at Greyville for over 20 years now and with the polytrack now into its third year, it probably makes sense to raise the bar and programme features on the surface.

The Kings Cup was won by Frank Robinson’s Dynasty mare Olma at its inaugural running on the new surface and the 2017 renewal looks a typically tricky handicap again.

The Candice Bass-Robinson team saddle 7yo Ashton Park, who they will be keen to try and get into the winner’s enclosure before the big guns start stepping out for the SA Champions Season.

The son of Battersea Park is fairly consistent and has run two good races on this surface.

His effort under 60kgs in the Michaelmas Handicap to get close to the classy Celtic Captain was a good one and he will strip fit after a decent third at Scottsville a fortnight ago.

Mike Azzie has secured the services of Anthony Delpech for Arctica, who ran such a cracker recently when only nabbed late

by The Elmo Effect in the Listed Drum Star.

The son of Captain Al has won his only previous start on the Greyville poly and looks to have plenty in his favour.

Local hope Royal Armour has shown

GOLD CIRCLE

The R250 000 Gr3 Kings Cup heads the Greyville Friday evening programme. The purists won’t be excited to see the race being run on the polytrack for the second year running.

As they say - progress can be a pain! good form at his last three runs and beat Sylvester The Cat on the Scottsville turf last time.

He is very effective on this surface and appears to be ahead of the handicapper – and ready to win his first stakes race.

First Time

Sean Tarry tries Bulleting Home on the poly for the first time.

The classy Western Winter gelding was way back in the Hawaii Stakes and has been generally disappointing. He is well drawn and has beaten Arctica previously.

Sylvester The Cat was caught late by Royal Armour and beaten a short head last time.

He is a half kilo worse off with the Forbes runner and his sole previous effort on the poly was unconvincing.

Topweight Gr2 Hawaii Stakes winner Captain Aldo has the best of the draw and Anton Marcus in his favour.

He is in good form at his last 3 runs and the only unknown is his ability to adapt to the all weather at his first try.

Versatile

Mike Azzie's Arctica can confirm his recent improvement Cape visitor Fifty Cents is one of Justin Snaith’s first runners here in 2017.

The son of Trippi was outclassed in the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate but produced good runs on either side of that.

He has a tendency to lug out at the finish and it will be interesting to see how he goes first time out at Greyville on the right-handed track.

Fairer Sex

Gareth Van Zyl’s Budapest has won 2 of Pearl Emblem is the sole his last 3 starts – all on the turf and tries representative of the fairer sex his hand at the poly again. and frankly looks to have plenty The son of Lithuanian has shown his to do to win from her wide draw. colours at Gr3 level in the past and is a The daughter of National versatile sort who can go handy or drop out.

Emblem has proven effective over

200m shorter against her own sex.

Her stablemate, the 6yo Stronghold gelding Double Clutch was backed to win his last start, which he duly did – on the Scottsville turf mile.

A course and distance winner, he must have an outside chance of challenging for honours.

Charles Laird’s Secret Warning goes for his fourth straight win and the son of Kahal is racing in the form of his life.

A course and distance winner, he carries a handy galloping weight and could score a first stakes success.

Dean Kannemeyer’s Last Tiger is drawn widest of all and won his last start on an objection, after Nicklaus had finished in front of him.

The son of Eyeofthetiger has proven very effective on the poly and even though he rises in class must have a place chance.

Open

Arctica and Royal Armour could be the pair to fight this out, with chances to the old man Aston Park and the enigmatic Bulleting Home.

Secret Warning appears to be progressive and should not be discounted off his handy weight.

at Fairview & Turffontein last Weekend

Smith’s Precious Quick Return Listed East Cape Fillies Nursery Highlands stallion Pathfork produced the fireworks at Fairview on Friday when his daughter Precious Pansy stepped out like a true professional on debut for top trainer Gavin Smith to score a shock win in the R150 000 Listed East Cape Fillies Nursery.

Most of the world missed this one!

The vastly experienced trainer has been around and doesn’t run them first up in stakes features unless they have shown something at home.

“I wouldn’t have thrown her in the deep end if I didn’t feel she could just about hold her own. She has shown enough in work at home and was ready to run some time ago.

Naturally one can’t have confidence when facing experienced winners, but I suggested to the owners that we take our chances and see how good she is – and things worked out rather well!”

Smith went on to add that he was thrilled for his owners Donald and Lynn Johnston and Dr Nhlapo.

“I must make special mention too of Gill Thomson’s Riyo Stud. I have the year older half-sister, Besotted (Bold Silvano) who also won first time out and I went to the sale with the specific aim of buying Precious Pansy. Gill breeds a lovely horse – and when owners get their outlay plus the bonus back so quickly, well it just keeps the heads up!” said Smith.

Going off at the bottom of the betting boards, the R120 000 National 2yo Sale purchase hardly received a mention from the commentator in running as Chase Maujean had her tucked away in midfield in the 1200m event.

With some promising local fillies and a pricy Justin Snaith Cape raiding market springer in the sixteen strong line-up, Precious Pansy was ignored in the betting and the preliminaries – and even had to cope with the bogey of racing in club colours, after

the silks were made up incorrectly.

But after Pure Fiction had gone very quick early and Yvette Bremner’s maiden Widow’s Lamp had looked a winner late, Maujean snuck through down the inside rail as Precious Pansy put some big ego’s to bed in style.

She finished powerfully to hold off Widow’s Lamp by 1,25 lengths(no time advised).

The Shams’ Singing In Seattle finished with a flourish to run into third, holding off another decent finisher in the previously unbeaten Via Seattle.

The 7-2 favourite Hot N Hazy hardly raised a threat and finished well downfield on a rare blank day for the Cheyne-Greeff combination.

Snaith debutante Better Together attracted betting support but is another who disappointed.

The Riyo Stud-bred Precious Pansy is a daughter of Highlands, a part of Ridgemont, stallion Pathfork, out of the US bred Point Given mare, Right Call.

Consigned by Ascot Stud as agent, she was purchased by Gavin Smith Racing for R120 000 at the 2016 National 2yo Sale.

She benefitted from the BSA Added Value Stakes Bonus of R77 500, and together with the winning cheque, opened her account with a quick return of R171 250.

A son of dual champion sire Distorted Humor, Pathfork was unbeaten at two, and crowned Ireland’s Champion 2yo colt of 2010.

He is bred on the same Distorted Humor/ Sadler’s Wells cross as Gr1 winners Aesop’s Fables (Prix Jean Prat) and Cursory Glance (Moyglare Stud Stakes).

His dam is a stakes winning half sister to Gr1 Breeders’ Cup Mile/Irish 2000 Guineas winner Spinning World.

Pathfork has five lots at the CTS Emperor’s Palace Yearling Sale and twelve on offer at the TBA National Yearling Sale.

Mogok On The Mark Belle’s Golden Moment Listed Derby Trial

Listed Oaks Trial

Geoff Woodruf’s smart Mogok gelding Pagoda stamped himself a genuine SA Champions Season prospect when he scored an emphatic victory in the R150 000 Listed Derby Trial at Turffontein on Saturday.

Starting favourite in the fourteen horse field, the Varsfontein bred Pagoda has always been rated one of the top Woodruff 3yo’s and he streaked clear to win a good race.

The 2000m Derby Trial looked an open race on paper, with a good spread of Australian and well bred locals looking to assert their claims.

Gavin Van Zyl’s Last Outlaw led the fourteen horse field into the straight, with Pagoda relaxed about four lengths off the leader. As the leader tired at the top of the straight, the revitalised Gavin Lerena pressed the launch button and Pagoda stretched into a commanding position at the top of the straight.

With nothing challenging, Pagoda went on in impressive style to easily withstand the challenge of longshot Lee’s Pick by 3,30 lengths in a time of 124,19s.

Sean Tarry’s Hamaan was a further 2 lengths back in third, with the Australian bred Alaadel making late ground into fourth.

Pagoda has won three times with 3 places from his 8 starts and took his stakes to R349 225.

A bargain R100 000 inaugural Val De Vie Yearling Sale graduate, the very smart bay colt consigned by Varsfontein, is a second produce for his one time winning Wolfhound dam Pascha.

Pascha is a half-sister to Festive Occasion, the dam of the classic performer, Do You Remember, who was exported to Australia.

Pagoda is by the evergreen value sire, Mogok.

An enterprising ride by Callan Murray on Belle Rose in the R150 000 Listed Oaks Trial gave Mike de Kock the honour of saddling the first stakes winner for a sire close to his heart.

De Kock trained High Chaparral’s son Golden Sword in the latter part of his career and labelled the Summerhill sire the best horse of a classy generation in his overseas string. Golden Sword still holds the record for the fastest 2000m at Meydan.

On Saturday Belle Rose’s narrow Listed stakes win for Al Adiyaat SA would have given the champion trainer much pleasure on a day he was thousands of kilometres away, saddling Mubtaahij to a not disgraced fourth placed finish behind superstar Arrogate in the Dubai World Cup. Callan Murray had Belle Rose relaxed about five lengths off pacesetter Emily Jay in the sixteen horse charge that moved into the long Turffontein home straight.

Belle Rose glided up hard against the steel in the centre at the 400m marker, closely tracked by Wind Chill.

The pair drew off and with Belle Rose looking to initially hold the edge, Anthony Delpech had other ideas and got Joey Soma’s Silvano filly up alongside the leader. At the 200m it was anybody’s race but under a beautifully balanced left handed ride, the Avontuur sponsored Murray kept Belle Rose to her task and she stayed on doggedly to hold the determined Wind Chill by a head in a time of 124,46 secs.The latter ran a gutsy race from her wide draw.

The Woodruff runner Parabola came on steadily to get third ahead of Costa Da Sol. The pacemaking Emily Jay faded badly, as did recent runaway maiden winner Street Gaze, who had moved up dangerously at the 400m.

Belle Rose, her sire’s first winner as a 2yo back in May 2016, was purchased by Form Bloodstock for R475 000 at the 2015 CTS Johannesburg Ready To Run Sale.

She started a great hat-trick for Summerhill Stud on the afternoon – the champion breeders also produced Gr2 Senor Santa winner Champagne Haze (Belle Rose’ half brother) and the last race 2000m debut winner, Glider Pilot.

Belle Rose is by Golden Sword out of the versatile four-time winning Qui Danzig mare, Vin Fizz – dam of the day’s Gr2 1160m winner, Champagne Haze.

De Kock and Murray were in the winner’s enclosure in the first race when the well related Mustaaqeem (Redoute’s ChoiceNational Colour) blitzed his rivals for an impressive debut win.

The full brother to Gr2 Hawaii Stakes winner Rafeef was a A$1 750 000 buy and thus one of the most expensive horses to set foot on a racecourse in this country.

Gr1 HF Oppenheimer HORSE CHESTNUT STAKES at Turffontein this Saturday Sean Tarry has been masterful in the manner in which he has plotted and planned the career of SA Horse Of The Year, Legal Eagle. The SA champion trainer follows the same route as he did in 2016 when he saddles the son of Greys Inn on Saturday in a bid to win the R1 million HF Oppenheimer Gr1 Horse Chestnut Stakes for the second successive year.

N

ow rising 6, the star Avontuur bred gelding only has his 17th career start on Saturday and is in search of his tenth win, having joined the great milers by becoming the first horse since Pocket Power to win back-toback L’Ormarins Queen’s Plates at Kenilworth on 7 January.

And in the same pattern as last year, when beaten by Smart Call, he played second fiddle to Whisky Baron in the Sun Met at his last start 9 weeks ago.

As history shows though, he is a fellow who can run fresh and win, and is probably at his optimum over the mile that he goes on Saturday.

His record is terrific.

He is unbeaten in five starts over a mile, which includes his maiden, three Gr 1 weight-forages and a Gr 2 weight-for-age mile.

A great record for a horse who first rose to prominence when romping to a three-length victory in the Gr1 SA Derby over 2450m in just his fifth career start.

The only element missing from the Gr1 cocktail on Saturday is a crack visitor - of the likes of Captain America, who won it in 2015 and kept the Eagle honest in 2016.

In The Box

Gary Alexander’s Kangaroo Jack comes up second best on the SP race ratings, and the son of Querari has his second run over a mile.

The 4yo has been slightly off the boil at his last two starts and is a kilo better off with Rafeef on their Hawaii Stakes clash, when beaten 1,85 lengths. That may not be enough.

New Predator hails from the form Van

Vurren-Lerena combination and showed topclass pace when just run out of it late in the Hawaii Stakes. He looks to improve on his third in this race last year.

Mac De Lago has lost form and has his first start since an unplaced effort in the Sun Met. He ran fourth in this race last year and looks to have a difficult task of turning the tables on Legal Eagle.

Naval Attack

Multiple Gr1 winner French Navy showed a glimmer of a revival when a well beaten close on four lengths third behind Brazuca in last Saturday’s Gr2 Colorado King Stakes.

He was handicapped to win that race and must improve again with improved fitness levels.

The only filly in the race, Fort Ember ran a nice race after a break when staying on well behind Rafeef in the Hawaii Stakes.

The daughter of Elusive Fort has a good record and will strip fitter and even more effective over the mile.

Rafeef, whose half-brother Mustaaqeem made such a great debut last Saturday, is in scintillating form and has never run further back than second in eight starts.

He scored a breathtaking win in the Gr2 Hawaii Stakes last time and faces his stiffest test to date.

Callan Murray has gotten to know the colt well and after an unlikely loss to Irish Pride in the Wolf Power 1600, he looks to be going the right way.

If Legal Eagle shows any chinks in his armour, this could be the galloper to exploit that!

Princely

The hard-knocking Romany Prince has drawn against the paint and gets the services of Anthony Delpech.

The 4yo son of Kahal will also strip fit after three exacting races in the space of six weeks but would appear to have been a better candidate on handicap conditions against this quality of opposition.

The second of the Mike de Kock pair, Fareeq languishes at the base of the ratings off his relatively modest 85 in this decent company.

The son of Nadeem has won 4 of 12 starts but has been brought along below the radar – his fourth in the Wolf Power 1600 behind stablemate Rafeef his sole dip into feature waters.

Other than the role of a likely pacemaker, he looks to be mostly making up numbers.

2015

Banker

It is very difficult to look past Legal Eagle.

Anton Marcus looks set to take a step closer to his personal century of Gr1 winners.

With a bit of luck on their side, New Predator and the progressive Rafeef will be snapping at the champ’s heels.

Gavin Lerena gets the best out of Champagne Haze

JC PHOTOS

Alexander’s Champagne Day Gr2 SENOR SANTA STAKES Turffontein Saturday The high – class Pierre Jourdan’s half-brother Champagne Haze has been a touch in-and-out since his big win in the 2015 Emperors Palace Ready To Run Cup.

B

ut he showed that as he matures, the shorter game may well be his forte, with a sensational victory in the R400 000 Gr2 Senor Santa Stakes at Turffontein on Saturday.

In a stirring form turnaround after a win drought, Gavin Lerena rode a cracker for the Gary Alexander yard to register a personal feature hat-trick after scoring earlier on Brazuca (Colorado King Stakes) and Pagoda (Derby Trial).

It was also a thrilling afternoon for multiple SA Champion breeders Summerhill and their versatile broodmare Vin Fizz, who produced the feature double with Champagne Haze and Belle Rose (Golden Sword), winning the Oaks Trial earlier.

While he has won up to a mile, Champagne Haze’ best recent form has been over the sprints – yet he was easy to back when lining up in the 1160m Gr2 feature against some serious speed merchants.

The race admittedly lost some lustre following the withdrawal of the Trippi pair of super sprinter Trip To Heaven and the progressive Graduation Day. But it lost nothing as a spectacle, with the rush on from the break and a stampede over the final 300m.

Lightly raced Gr3 Man ‘O War Sprint winner Bull Valley (12-10) and the 2015 Senor Santa winner Dollar Dazzler (9-2) dominated the betting boards, but neither was to feature.

After Splendid Garden and Queen Laurie had dominated early on, it was Lerena who produced the bullet late as Champagne Haze lifted into the 200m.

Chased by the game 3yo filly Wrecking Ball, Lerena had things under control to register the win in the same silks he had won the Colorado King Stakes in earlier on.

Champagne Haze won by 2 lengths in a time of 65,49s.

Wrecking Ball maintained her consistency, ahead of the pacy, but inconsistent, Splendid Garden, who came again to head Bull Valley for third.

Champagne Haze has won 5 races with 6 places from his 15 starts for stakes of a healthy R2 065 050.

The winner, astutely purchased at the CTS Johannesburg RTR Sale for R280 000, is by Kahal out of the four-time winner Vin Fizz (what a day she had) and was bred at Summerhill Stud.

Australian-bred Brazuca finishes full of running to break Gavin Lerena’s win drought

Gr2 COLORADO KING STAKES Turffontein Saturday

Brazuca Has A Ball

I

The Australian-bred Brazuca shed his classic bridesmaid tag and at the same time opened his feature account in style with a fluent win in Saturday’s R400 000 Gr2 Colorado King Stakes at Turffontein.

It is difficult to believe that the Johan Janse van Vuuren trained 4yo’s biggest win prior to Saturday was a Progress Plate success.

Placed four times at Gr1 level, and a runner-up in both the Gr1 Cape Guineas and Investec Cape Derby of his year, he caught his six opponents flat-footed at the 350m mark and surprised a few detractors by conclusively staying the testing 2000m.

A lightly campaigned chestnut son of top-class Danehill Darley stallion Teofilo, whose progeny are proven effective at the top level from a mile to

2400m, Brazuca has a terrific turn of foot.

And it was this asset that Gavin Lerena used to good effect, stealing a march some way from home, after Stonehenge had done the pacemaking duties.

The move proved decisive and Brazuca, despite lugging inwards, had over 3 lengths to spare at the line.

He clocked 124,24s for the 2000m.

A reshoeing at the start would not have done the luckless 15-10 favourite Deo Juvente any good, and he showed courage to stay on for second, 0,80 lengths ahead of a rather lacklustre French Navy.

The latter’s stablemate Samurai Blade came on too late and ran fourth.

Gavin Lerena raised his whip in triumph as Brazuca marked his first visit to the winner’s enclusure since 28 February, after a minor drought that included a period of suspension earlier this month.

Brazuca was purchased for A$ 80 000 off the KiaOra Stud draft at the 2014 Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale by Paul Guy’s Heritage Bloodstock.

He is by Teofilo out of the unraced Choisir mare, Base Paradise, an unraced daughter of Gr2 sprinter, Catnipped (Rory’s Jester).

Racing in the prominent Wernars’ family white, black and red silks, Brazuca has won 5 races with 7 places from 14 starts for stakes of R1 925 275.

Spies’ Sycamore Singer Gr3 SYCAMORE SPRINT Turffontein Saturday A talented and precocious 2yo, Seattle Singer finally put her act together halfway through her 3yo term. She scored a career first stakes success when upsetting the more fancied runners to win the R250 000 Gr3 Sycamore Sprint.

A

true handicap, the Sycamore has a history of delivering the curved balls over the years and the 28-1 available about Corne Spies’ Seattle Singer certainly fitted the trend.

The Ascot Stud bred daughter of Sail From Seattle has always been blessed with plenty of ability and has been thereabouts at the top level – her best being her runner-up

cheque to the boys in the Gr1 Gold Medallion.

On Saturday she upped her game over the 1160m under the lights in her second run after a rest to run out a convincing winner.

In a lukewarm betting race, Joan Ranger was a weak fancy at 33-10, with some interest in Old Em and Crystal Glamour.

Craig Zackey had Seattle Singer out quickly to lead from her outside draw, but

eased the 3yo back a length as Athony Delpech allowed Old Em to stride and lead down the middle.

At the 350m marker, Zackey pressed the button and Seattle Singer lengthened to draw away and win well by 1,40 lengths in a time of 65,65s – marginally slower than the 65,49s clocked by Champagne Haze carrying 3kgs more in the Gr2 Senor Santa a half hour earlier.

Gavin Lerena brought

Craig Zackey guides Seattle Singer to a surprise win Crystal Glamour out of the pack to chase Seattle Singer home, while Geoff Woodruff’s Al Danza showed nice resolve after her rest and return from the Cape to grab third.

The Toreador mare Lumya gave further impetus to the healthy quartet dividend when she grabbed fourth cheque, 2,70 lengths off the winner.

Topweight Joan Ranger failed to get into it and finished eighth.

Seattle Lady appeared to

go wrong at the 200m marker and was pulled up by Randall Simons.

The Ascot Stud bred Seattle Singer, a R600 000 National Yearling Sale buy, took her earnings to R676 300 at her 3rd win of 10 places from 16 starts.

A full sister to Gr1 sprinter Gulf Storm, she looks to be a valuable broodmare prospect in time to come, being by SA’s current leading sire of 2yos by stakes and individual winners,

Sail From Seattle, out of the four-time winning Kilconnel mare, Royal Drummer.

Winning jockey Craig Zackey booted home the 400-1 double when he also won the last race on A P Arrow first-timer Glider Pilot for Tyrone Zackey.

It is not often we see a horse win first time over 2000m – but Rabada’s grey half brother looks talented. His debut win also rounded off a great day for Summerhill Stud.

SA Champions Season

Visitors Set To Dominate

A

After the limited success of the KZN power yards of Dennis Drier and Duncan Howells during the Cape Summer Of Champions Season, former Cape – based champion jockey turned trainer Garth Puller recently suggested that the ‘rest of us may as well go on holiday when the visitors arrive’. veteran racing man, Puller is under no false illusions when it comes to stemming the visiting tsunami.

“I have some nice youngsters in my string, but we generally can’t compete with the superior buying power, mostly from the South,” he said.

SA’s Best

GOLD CIRCLE

With close on R50 million up for grabs, South Africa’s best are set to congregate in KwaZulu-Natal for a three-month feast of feature racing.

The SA Champions Season runs from the beginning of May to the end of July, with a programme of over 50 graded and listed races, headed by the Gr1 Vodacom Durban July.

But while the cream of the crop from near and far are set to do battle, do the home yards even stand a chance of collecting any of the prized silverware on offer?

The close on 140 boxes made available to visiting trainers from the Western Cape and Gauteng does not include those of Gauteng based Sean Tarry and Dean Kannemeyer and Candice-Bass Robinson, who operate out of Milnerton. All have permanent satellite bases at Summerveld.

The seasonal visitor box allocation, furnished to the Sporting Post by Gold Circle Racing Executive Raf Sheik, includes: Brett Crawford (20) Vaughan Marshall (20) Alec Laird (10) Joey Ramsden (20) Justin Snaith (22) Johan Janse van Vuuren (20) Adam Marcus (10) Stanley Ferreira (10) When pressed for an understanding of the ‘imbalance of power’, Puller explained.

“Let’s face it – there is no question that the Cape is the best horse territory in South Africa. It boasts dry, non humid, Garth Puller summers, fresh spring weather and wet winters. This combines to ensure that their horses are allowed time to grow – with no added pressure on their legs – in the varying climatic conditions.

They are bred from the best stallions and broodmares and arrive here bigger, stronger and ready to do their best.”

Puller added that it was no secret that, due in no small measure to the climate, the Cape was home to the best stallions and the best breeders in South Africa.

“But let’s go back a little earlier to the old money. The 1960’s of that great trainer Theo de Klerk, who was the forerunner and saw the opportunity to offer the ‘swallows’, who were chasing the sun , the opportunity of a lifestyle and great racing at a fraction of the price of the UK and Europe – not that money was really a concern. It just added to the overall appeal.”

He went on to suggest that the natural beauty of the Cape, from the winelands to the majesty of the mountains and the scenery, made it a winning destination.

“With that background, one can add in the reality that the powerful Cape yards also benefit from major buyer date close high low volume and top breeder support. It’s 27Mar 2080 2080 2080 0 the way things work in this 24Mar 2080 2080 2075 552 business – we just don’t enjoy 23Mar 2000 2000 2000 1,350 the same foundation here in 22Mar 2079 2079 1993 3,394 KZN. But all said and done, 20Mar 2080 2080 1900 76,877 17Mar 2015 1015 1960 86,058 and thanks to the nationwide 16Mar 2018 2080 1955 1,785 interest and participation, 15Mar 2040 2040 1970 9,368 519 we really can call this the SA 14Mar 2043 2043 1975 13Mar 2043 2043 2015 1,119 Champions Season.”

ArroGREAT...and Many Others!

While the international racing community was trending only one name at the Dubai World Cup festivities at Meydan on Saturday, there were other performances worthy of mention.

T

he American challenger Arrogate stamped himself a oncein-a-lifetime racehorse for all of those fortunate enough to have watched him overcome the odds to win the $10 million Gr1 Dubai World Cup. Arrogate’s extraordinary win, which elevated him to the status of the highest earning racehorse in history, had his trainer Bob Baffert drawing parallels with the great Secretariat.

Read page 15 Now, for some other highlights…

Gr1 Dubai Golden Shaheen

Not a bad way for a trainer to get his first winner. Chad Summers was winless in four starts since taking out his license last month, yet the 32-year-old brought his best horse to Meydan and the four-year-old Mind Your Biscuits (USA) came through by storming down the centre of the track to dominate the race. There were three lengths back to Comicas (USA) and it was a short head back to Morawij (GB), who stayed on gamely for third.

An outside post was

supposed to hinder the chances of the Americanbased ‘Biscuits’ and jockey Joel Rosario was, in fact, forced to race wide around the turn – but that never factored as a clear trip and the rider’s confident handling proved appropriate for a far-superior winner.

“I think I got some ground in the turn, not much, and then for a second I thought we might not get there,” Rosario said. “I was so wide on the outside. I was thinking, ‘Is this going to work?’ But he showed that he was the best horse in the race.”

Mind Your Biscuits won Gr1 Golden Shaheen

Gr1 Dubai Turf

Jockey Joao Moreira left Meydan spellbound by his magic touch as he conjured a dashing late run from the Japanese filly Vivlos (JPN) to capture the Gr1 Dubai Turf sponsored by DP World.

Suicide Mission Split times for the meeting at Turffontein tell an interesting tale, when the times for the 2000m are compared: Gr2 Colorado Stakes, Derby and Oaks Trial, and a Maiden.

Stonehenge took up his usual role as pacemaker in the Colorado Stakes, but completely over-did things – this was a suicide mission. He was some seven lengths in front coming into the straight, with the time at the spur more than two seconds faster than the Derby and Oaks Trials.

It was then that the fun started. The chasing pack went full tilt after Stonehenge at the top of the straight, probably on the assumption that he’d got away. The pack’s acceleration was dramatic, and probably too much too sudden – which explains why the final 400m time of the Colorado Stakes was the slowest of the four 2000m races.

They’d simply run out of puff at the end.

The split times below show the Colorado Stakes with and without Stonehenge, suggesting that the pack went at a normal pace early on, compared to Derby and Oaks Trials. The confused camera didn’t show Stonehenge going through the 400m (the focus was on the chasers), so there’s no time shown for the race leader there.

The times also show that the Maiden race went too slow early on, and was decided in a late sprint – which explains the race having the fastest 400m to finish, but by far the slowest overall time. Clearly a false run race.

Another interesting one. Stonehenge held on until about 250m from home, where Brazuca went past, and Stonehenge fell in a heap.

Stonehenge Brazuca

300m 105.36 105.88

The chasing pack had cut the deficit from 2.18s behind at the spur to 0.52s at the 300m (spur to 300m = 400m) Note: The ‘pole’ is about 1180m out on the old course. The false rail spur was at the 700m.

Quietly ridden for most of the race by the brilliant Brazilian, Vivlos cut down the French-trained Heshem (IRE), who looked likely to pull off a shock result at the 200m, inside the final strides of US$6 million showpiece to win by half a length.

An identical margin behind finished Ribchester (IRE) in third having raced prominently throughout.

Japan was making it three wins in the last four renewals of the race following successes

by Just A Way (JPN) in 2014 and Real Steel (JPN) last year.

The latter was scratched earlier in the week from defending his crown. Interestingly, all three runners had prepared for the Dubai Turf by competing in the Grade 2 Nakayama Kinen in Tokyo.

Gr1 Dubai Sheema Classic

Trainer John Gosden and jockey William Buick again teamed up to superb effect in the Gr1 Longines Dubai Sheema Classic as Godolphin’s Jack Hobbs (GB) stormed back to his brilliant best.

Seven years have elapsed since Buick launched his association with Gosden by landing the race on Dar Re Mi, and the now Godolphinretained rider was sporting his famous blue silks as he strode clear for a two-and-a-quarterlength victory.

The brilliant Irish Derby winner of 2015 was restricted to just two runs last year, and after suffering an injury when pulled up at Newmarket in May, he showed the fire still burns bright when a promising third in October’s British Champion Stakes.

Jack Hobbs was Godolphin’s second success of the evening, and Gosden the first nonretained Godolphin trainer to saddle a Dubai World Cup night winner.

Bernard Fayd’herbe

ernard left South Africa shortly after July day 2016 to join the powerful Gilbert Rousset stable in Mauritius.

He acquitted himself with aplomb, riding 3 winners at his first meeting and notching a total of 23 wins (including two Mauritian Gr1’s) and 48 places from 94 rides for the season, for a 24.5% win and 51% place strike rate. Having completed the season, he decided to base himself in Dubai for the World Cup Carnival, arriving on 5 December 2016.

Deft touch

Like superstar people, superstar horses occasionally also require specialist handling. Bernard has a reputation for having a deft touch with the slightly trickier characters and he confirms that he got the ride on Fawree thanks to his reputation in the pens.

With Bernard in the irons, Fawree debuted over 7 furlongs on 29 December 2016 and finished second, despite having missed the break. He was not a model citizen at the pens on his second outing on 12 January 2017, but nevertheless led pillar to post for an easy 5 length win.

However, things came really unstuck in Super Saturday’s 1600m Al Bastikaya on 4 March 2017, when Fawree’s hood was removed a little too soon and he crashed through the pens, dislodging Bernard in the process.

“We thought we’d got through to him, but clearly not,” Bernard shrugs.

“Super Saturday was our prep race for the Derby. When he dumped me, that was probably our winning chance gone.”

Mike drafted in the services of South African horse behaviourist, Malan du Toit who spent a week working with Fawree, the Mike de Kock team as well as the Meydan starting team to solve the problem. Bernard takes a keen interest in the horses he rides, famously pitching in with the grooming and stable work for J J The Jet Plane during his 2011 campaign. He was equally hands-on with Fawree assisting Malan and the team in getting the job done. “Malan did a great job,” agrees Bernard. “We worked with him every day – Malan, Trevor Brown, myself and the groom – and he changed within a week.”

Regarding the incident on Super Saturday, Bernard explains “When

they pulled the hood off, he anticipated that the gates would be open and he jumped. Unfortunately they weren’t open, so he gave himself a fright. We schooled him with the hood and without it. As soon as we put the hood on, he got very upset, so in the end we left it off and he was a lot better like that.”

Fawree was put through the stalls on 17 March and was re-passed with flying colours. On World Cup night, he loaded and jumped on terms, and despite a wide draw as well as traffic problems to contend with, he finished a very creditable 7th.

Fawree

“Apart from his phobia in the pens, he’s a really sweet horse. He’s lovely to ride at work in the mornings, and to work with in the box. He’s obviously had a bad experience in the gates at some point and it became a bit of a phobia for him.

Was there much in the way of media attention? “Laura King did a really nice interview about him. With Fawree being difficult and after the incident where he dislodged me in the pens, there was quite a bit of talk about him. Everyone was interested and I think everyone was relieved when he jumped out of the pens on World Cup night and we managed to get him to race.”

of the lifestyle he comments that the cost of living has gone up since his last visit, “but it’s been really good and I’ve enjoyed Dubai.”

From the jockey room

Bernard has ridden at the Carnival before, riding a Dubai World Cup 3rd on Paris Perfect for Neil Bruss in 2009 as well as winning the Al Quoz Sprint on J J The Jet Plane in 2011.

“It’s a helluva experience,” he enthuses. “There is an awesome atmosphere.

You walk into the jockey room and you’re brushing shoulders with the best jockeys in the world.

The who’s who of racing are all there and it’s a big night for everyone involved. Everyone is just concentrating on their specific race and their horse, but everyone gets on so well.

The guys are all so down to earth, we chat and carry on and everyone’s quite friendly.

Unfortunately this time all my eggs were in one basket and things didn’t work out the way I’d have liked results-wise, but that’s the risk you take,” he says matter of factly.

Derby

“Unfortunately Fawree missed out on one prep run and with the Derby being only his third run, he didn’t have the race experience or fitness.

From my draw, I had to commit and go hard to get up there and hold my position and I used quite a bit of him up doing that. Down the back straight, he was very green and running in snatches and when we came into the straight, he was starting to flatten out. Two horses closed in on each side of us, one ran out of room and went into my side, and two of us got squeezed out. I had to check badly and that probably cost me 6th place, but that’s just racing, I suppose,” he shrugs.

“He just needed more time and wasn’t quite ready to play catch up all the time. You can’t afford a hiccup here. Three months is such a short programme and if there is even a little issue, it’s hard to make that up.

That one missed prep meant he was always having to play catch up and all in all everything just came too soon. But he will be a much better horse next season, so there is lots to look forward to.”

Mubtaahij

Mike’s Kentucky Derby runner Mubtaahij became something of a fan favourite during the Triple Crown campaign and is still one of the yard’s stars and put up a great run in the Dubai World Cup to finish 4th.

“What an honest horse,” says Bernard. “He also had an interrupted prep and I think he ran ran a great race. Johnny Geroudis looked after Mubtaahij. It was his horse and no-one else worked with him. Johnny basically lived with the horse, so he was very happy with the result.”

Where to next?

“It’s been a tough season and from here I’m off to China on the 28th to ride in the International Race. Dubai Racing sends a whole lot of horses to China to race there and it’s the Dubai jockeys against the Chinese riders. The Dubai Racing Club does it once a year to help promote racing in China. The race day is on 2 April. After that, I’im back to Cape Town on around the 3rd of April and then I’ll be back for good.” His plans are to freelance initially ‘until things change.’

Starters / ground staff

Bernard was extremely complimentary about the support from the Meydan starters and ground crew. “They’ve got an extremely professional team.

They’ve got horses arriving from all over the world with different gradings and have to work it all out, try and work them all together and get everything to run as smoothly as possible. They can’t afford to have a hiccup. The guys are very good. When we couldn’t get Fawree right and Mike decided to bring Malan over, the two teams worked very well together and I think the local guys learnt quite a bit from Malan too.”

Dubai

Asked to describe his Dubai experience, Bernard says, “It’s obviously really nice, you get to see some really wonderful horses that come through here. It has been very hard to get outside rides because all the stables here have two or sometimes even 3 retained jockeys, so they don’t use outsiders – not even for work riding. Mike’s been very good to me and whenever he could, he has given me rides, so that’s helped.” In terms

Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport.

Fake

News

The National Horseracing Authority’s naming policy has come under the spotlight again with the news that a name originally approved by them – President Trump – has been labelled ‘problematic’ – by themselves. The Justin Snaith racing team recently gelded the errant unraced 2yo President Trump after he was becoming unmanageable.

The tongue-in-cheek story caught the attention of the international news media and went viral on social media.

The NHA then demanded the name be changed. The Snaiths tried Potus (President Of The United States) and after the NHA latched on to that, they approved another option – the rather appropriate at this point, Fake News.

Terry Spargo, the voice of Dubai racing for almost two decades, called his 17th and final Gr1 Dubai World Cup on Saturday. Australian-born Spargo, 61, has commentated on every running of the World Cup from Captain Steve in 2001 at Nad Al Sheba to Gloria de Campeao, the first at Meydan in 2010 – to the brilliant Arrogate on Saturday.

The R1 million Gr1 Empress Club Stakes has been moved from 15 April to 22 April as Phumelela are hoping to welcome HSH Princess Charlene of Monaco on course. The Turffontein 1600m WFA event for fillies and mares will also be named the HSH Princess Charlene Empress Club Stakes. The two maiden plate races of R250 000, which Princess Charlene sponsors and which were previously run on Peermont Emperor’s Palace Charity Mile day, have been moved to this meeting.

South African jockeys are often castigated for their seeming lack of commitment when it comes to rain and sticky underfoot conditions.

Safety concerns caused by high winds forced the Victorian race meeting at Stony Creek earlier this week to be abandoned after two races. Jockeys reported a number of their mounts were shifting during the running and riders were not able to hear each other.

The Vocalcom Gr2 Duchess Of York Cup at the Champ de Mars on Saturday was won by 2015 Gr3 Langerman winner Ready To Attack (More Than Ready). The former Justin Snaith charge earned trainer Ramapatee Gujadhur his 6th win in the classic. He was ridden by Swapneel Rama.

Cape jockey Robert Khathi will be back riding work this week after he encountered some bad luck at the first meeting of the new Mauritius season, when he fell from Mountain Master in the Gr2 Duchess Of York Cup. He escaped serious injury with some minor damage to his left shoulder muscle tissue.

Horses To Follow DYNASTY Rated AR 96 SMILING BLUE EYES (3f Sage Blue by Badger Land) - Gr2 Gauteng Fillies Guineas Turffontein (stand side) (1600m) (4/3) Smiling Blue Eyes has shown considerable improvement with each start. Drawn widest of the sixteen here, this halfsister to Russian Sage raced in midfield early on. She ran on strongly in the long home straight and won very comfortably by two and a half. The distance of the next two legs of the Triple Tiara should suit her and she should improve on her rating, giving her a sound chance to do the treble.

SILVANO Rated AR 98 AL SAHEM (3c Alderry by Al Mufti) Gr2 Gauteng Guineas Turffontein (stand side) (1600m) (4/3) In the process of learning his trade, this lightly raced son of Silvano had won his two previous outings in impressive style. He took a big step up in class here. Running strongly from midfield, making up almost five lengths in the straight, he only failed by a neck to reel in the front running Janoobi.

He looks likely to turn the tables in the second leg of the Triple Crown.

13 Pocket Power – King of Winter

Cape Racing Says…

Farewell To Two Stalwarts The early retirement at the end of this week of two Western Cape Stipendiary Stewards with over a half century of service between them is bound to weaken the ranks in what is an already embattled component of the National Horseracing Authority.

T

he restructuring and rationalisation programme by the horseracing regulator appears to have been instituted with great haste and follows in the wake of an objection scandal last year and a breach of public confidence in the perceived competency of the policing officials – particularly in regard to the apparent inconsistency of the way the rules and regulations are implemented nationally.

The two popular and widely respected figures of Tarquin Norval and investigating officer Steve Naude are institutions and a part of the furniture in Cape racing.

Norval, an accomplished horseman and showjumper, has been in horseracing all of his working life since completing his national service in July 1977.

Tarquin Norval After joining the Natal Mercury as a racing reporter, he had stints at the Daily News and the Cape Argus, before working as a handicapper for the combined Western Province Racing Clubs of the time.

Now 61 years old, he confirmed that he had 20

years of service as a Stipe.

“I leave with a heavy heart.

I have met many wonderful people in the game and seen some great horses. It is a challenging job that I have enjoyed tremendously.

I don’t intend to go too far from the game and certainly won’t be turning my back on the sport,” said Norval, who thanked his colleagues and the jockeys and trainers that were an integral part of his working life.

Steve Naude who is 62 ‘rising 63’, said that he had been with the National Horseracing Authority, or the Jockey Club as it was known, for 30 years. He had joined the SA Police Force and then joined the NHA. “Look it is a part of my life.

It is difficult packing up after what is essentially a lifetime.

I am not the sort of person who can sit around and do nothing and hope that there will be an opportunity to still do my bit and share my experience and knowledge on a part-time basis.”

Both expressed a willingness to continue serving the game in a parttime capacity.

CTS ‘Listens To Market’

Sales Programme Rationalized Cape Thoroughbred Sales, South Africa’s leading bloodstock sales company, has announced the rationalisation of their sales programme.

A

drian Todd, MD of CTS, said that the company has kept its finger on the pulse of market influences and developments and that this decision, at this time, will be to the advantage of buyers, vendors and the industry at large.

CTS will not be holding the August two year old sale in Cape Town and will be combining its Ready to Run sales into the Lanzerac Ready to Run. Todd commented: “At CTS, flexibility and constant monitoring of the sales climate have always served us. At present, the market dictates a reduction of auction sales and we are restructuring our sales events to comply.

“Our Lanzerac Ready To Run Sale will revert to its traditional slot in November. It will offer

vendors a great opportunity to present all their qualifying two-year-olds for sale at one venue, during a beautiful and vibrant time in the Cape, and on the eve of the R2,5-million Lanzerac Two Year Old Race.”

Todd said that Summerhill would be hosting a Ready to Run farm sale as well.

He said: “With changes in the marketplace we do not feel that market requirements dictate a need for two big Ready to Run sales within a month of each other.

“We have listened to buyers and vendors and we are focused on maximising opportunities for them, bringing the greatest number of buyers to an auction to purchase the best quality bloodstock from leading vendors.”

September Countdown The Big "D" Good progress has been made with the resurfacing of Durbanville racecourse and, weather permitting, hopes are high that racing will resume there in September and October when there are 11 meetings scheduled.

O

ur original plans were to commence racing a lot sooner at the country course," reported manager Dean Diedericks today. "But unfortunately weather conditions have forced us to play safe with respect to the track surface knitting properly - as we need to ensure the success of the new surface complying to international standards and we will take every precaution to achieve this.

"The track has been reshaped and all the topsoil has been

replaced. We are at the moment incorporating into the top layer special organic material to stimulate grass growth and we have installed a specially-designed irrigation system.

“Obviously much depends on the weather over the winter, and in turn on the recovery of the track after the work we have done on it, but we are hopeful. We will, however, make contingency plans to accommodate the September and October meetings at Kenilworth should that prove necessary.”

The course at Durbanville

Prestige Sponsor For

Cape Winter Series

T

Western Cape racing has received a boost with the news that leading breeders Highlands, part of Ridgemont, will sponsor the prestigious Cape Winter Series.

he Cape Winter Series Triple Crown, is run over three legs from a mile to a stamina sapping 2400m, in the heart of the Cape’s green season from April through to June.

The series will forever be famous for being the platform that launched the career of one of the greatest horses to grace our turf this century.

The three-times SA Horse Of The Year Pocket Power is the only racer to have won the Cape Winter Triple Crown, when he dominated all before him in 2006.

The son of Jet Master went on to win 9 Gr 1 races, including the J&B Met three-times in succession and the Gr 1 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate a record four times in a row.

Other great horses to reach the precipice of Winter Series glory include the likes of Horse Of The Year Winter Solstice, who won the first two legs before being dethroned by his stablemate, Set To Music, in a thrilling climax at the final hurdle.

Another SA Horse Of The Year, champion Variety Club, won the first leg in 2012, before jetting off on a sparkling run that included local and international success.

Subsequent Vodacom Durban July winner Power King, also fell at the last leg hurdle in

2014, while the highly vaunted Marinaresco narrowly beat 2017 Sun Met winner Whisky Baron in the first two legs last season, before going on to SA Champions Season glory.

Highlands, a part of Ridgemont will also be sponsoring the Winter Triple Tiara for the 3yo fillies.

The R600 000 series runs parallel to the colts and geldings features and is structured from 1400m to 2200m.

Ross Kieswetter said that it is a privilege to now be involved with the Winter Series.

“We appreciate the importance it holds for the Cape horses who do not travel up to Natal.

The Winter Series is steeped in tradition and has exposed some of the nation's greatest horses. Highlands, part of Ridgemont, will aspire to keep this tradition alive by building the Highlands Stud Winter Series over the years to come.”

Highlands Stud has stood a number of top stallions over two decades.

The late Danzig stallion National Assembly, a son of Danzig bought by Vincent O'Brien for $2.5 million as a yearling but unraced due to injury, amongst their most notable.

The Highlands Stud stallion roster is now headed by Dynasty, sire of South African champions, as well as his treble Gr1 winning son, Jackson.

has for many years suffered from the ridge-and-furrow nature of the surface, hence the decision to eliminate this by taking up the top layers and evening out the ground. Some of the bends have long been considered too sharp for thoroughbreds at top speed and steps have also been taken to make these more gradual.

The course is also used for gallops and so plays an important part in the training of horses at the Milnerton and Philippi training centres. “We have upped the percentage of gallops at Kenilworth while the resurfacing work has been going on and we will reopen Durbanville for gallops before racing resumes there,” said Diedericks.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 31st MARCH - SUNDAY 2nd APRIL 2017

Dam of Northern Dancer, female line ancestress of Danehill (Danzig) and Machiavellian (Mr Prospector) - there's no getting away from influence of Natalma in modern racehorses.

N

atalma featured at least once in the pedigrees of all Dubai winners on World Cup-day.

She’s found twice in the pedigree of Gr1 Dubai World Cup winner Arrogate (Unbridled’s Song), while Vivlos, winner of the Gr1 Dubai Turf, carries three lines of Natalma (plus another three lines of Natalma’s dam Almahmoud).

Dual French classic winner Lope De Vega (Shamardal) is inbred to Machiavellian, and was represented by his first Dubai Gr1 winner as The Right Man scored a narrow win in the Gr1 Al Quoz Sprint. Machiavellian is broodmare sire of the earlier mentioned Vivlos and has exerted his influence on previous Dubai World Cup nights with World Cup winners Almutawakel and Street Cry, and as broodmare sire of another World Cup winner, Victoire Pisa.

Street Cry is sire of Australian star Winx, and of sire Street Boss whose son Rapper Dragon recently swept the Hong Kong four year old series.

Natalma is third dam of Machiavellian, and also of Danehill, who continues to dominate Australian racing and breeding. Danehill can be found in six of the top ten sires on the Australian General Sires List, with his grandson Snitzel (Redoute’s Choice) heading the log (Machiavellian is sire of current runner-up Street Cry).

Danehill is great-grandsire of last week’s Gr1 The BMW winner Jameka (by Danetime’s son Myboycharlie). The first three finishers in the A$1.5 million The BMW all have Danehill in their pedigrees.

Inbreeding to Danehill (and

thus extending Natalma’s influence even further) continues to provide breeders with dividends in Australia, and the latest example of this is Saturday’s Gr3 winning 2yo The Mission. He's by Danehill’s grandson Choisir, out of a mare by Redoute’s Choice.

In South Africa, last week's Gr2 Colorado King Stakes winner Brazuca is inbred to Danehill – his sire Teofilo is out of a mare by Danehill, while his dam is by Choisir (Danehill Dancer).

Machiavellian’s son Kahal has Champagne Haze, who

BSA Graduates Shine This past weekend proved one to remember for Bloodstock South Africa graduates. BSA sold thoroughbreds lifted no fewer than three South African features, while another Bloodstock South Africa graduate impressed when making it two wins from as many outings at Scottsville on Sunday.

First BSA sold thoroughbred to pick up a feature this past weekend was the Riyo Stud bred Precious Pansy, who made a winning debut when successful in the Listed East Cape Fillies Nursery at Fairview on Friday.The Gavin Smith trained twoyear-old impressed when scoring a rare feature win on debut, and scored by a comfortable one and a quarter lengths, under the urgings of jockey Chase Maujean. A R120 000 buy from the 2016 National 2YO Sale, when consigned under the Ascot Stud, Precious Pansy races for Mr and Mrs Johnson in partnership with Dr Nhlapo.

Out of the Point Given mare Right Call, Precious Pansy is from the second crop of Pathfork, a son of US Champion sire Distorted Humor. Pathfork has eight lots on offer at the 2017 National Yearling Sale, including a colt (bred on similar terms to US champion and Kentucky Derby winner I’ll Have Another) out of Gr3 winner Arch Mistress (Lot 289), and a half brother to a Derby placed runner from the same family as French Gr1 winners Hernando and Johan Quatz (Lot 187).

Another Bloodstock South Africa graduate to pick up a feature last weekend was promising 3YO Pagoda, who stamped himself a likely Gr1 SA Derby contender with a powerful performance in the Listed Derby Trial at Turffontein.

The Geoff Woodruff trained gelding made it his 3rd career win, with an impressive 3.3 lengths margin in the 2000m contest. This Varsfontein Stud bred gelding looks to have a bright future ahead of him. Pagoda is a son of the Scott Bros’ Storm Cat sire Mogok, who has five quality lots on offer at the 2017 National Yearling Sale.

Pagoda, himself a R100 000 buy from the 2015 Val De Vie Yearling Sale, is out of the Wolfhound mare Pascha –a half-sister to Oaks winning Equus Champion Festive Occasion.

Third of the trio of BSA graduates to land a feature was the Ascot Stud bred Seattle Singer. A full sister to Gr1 winning sprinter Gulf Storm, Seattle Singer stamped herself as an extremely attractive future stud prospect when picking up Saturday’s Gr3 Sycamore Sprint, runner up to champion Always In Charge in last season’s Gr1 Tsogo Sun Gold Medallion, lifted the first graded win of her career when scoring a 1.4 length in Saturday’s 1160m for jockey Craig Zackey. By Ascot Stud’s ill-fated sire Sail From Seattle, Seattle Singer was a R600 000 purchase from the 2015 National Yearling Sale.

Both Ascot Stud and Sail From Seattle have excellent drafts at this year’s National Yearling Sale, with Ascot’s 22 (including 2 from Riyo Stud) strong draft including siblings to such high class performers as Smart Banker, Halve The Deficit, Pacific Spirit, and recent Merchants winner

Search Party. Gone West’s son Sail From Seattle has 24 high quality lots on the National Sale, including a three parts brother to triple Gr1 winner Smart Banker (Lot 10), a half-brother to Gr2 performer and KZN Yearling Sale Million winner Ace Antonius (Lot 88), a filly out of top class racemare Stormy Appeal (Lot 199) and a half-brother to Gold Cup runner up Balance Sheet (Lot 244).

Another BSA graduate to impress this past weekend, was the Varsfontein Stud bred Varallo. The 2yo son of Var made it two wins from two starts at Scottsville on Sunday. Owned by The Fire Racing Trust, Varallo was a R2-million buy from last year’s National Yearling Sale.

His sire Var has a superb draft on this year’s sale, including siblings to such top class performers as Forries Waltz, Jet Set Go, Captain’s Flame and Fragrant Al, while Varsfontein’s outstanding NYS draft includes siblings to such Gr1 winners as Along Came Polly, Forest Indigo, and R4 million plus earner, Captain America.

landed the Gr2 Senor Santa Stakes last week.

Then there's Mogok, half brother to Machiavellian.

Mogok is by Storm Cat (grandson of Northern Dancer) and sired Saturday’s Derby Trial winner Pagoda (by Wolfhound, grandson of Northern Dancer). The dam of Machiavellian and Mogok is Coup de Folie, whose dam is a daughter of Natalma and whose sire Halo is a son of Natalma's half sister Cosmah.

In South Africa, Natalma is also direct ancestress of SA Derby winner BouquetGarni (Strike Smartly), Gr3 winner Queen’s Bay (Fort Wood), multiple stakes winning females Daphne Donnelly (Golden Thatch) and Lady’s Delight (Local Talent) and KZN sire and stakes

winner Announce (National Assembly). Lady’s Delight has a son, Delightful Choice by Redoute’s Choice, standing at stud in Australia.

Natalma’s great grandson Danehill (sire of new SA sires Duke Of Marmalade and Oratorio) made his mark in South Africa principally from overseas runners sired by the likes of Redoute’s Choice and Rock Of Gibraltar.

With inbreeding to both Machiavellian and Danehill on the rise, coupled with the ongoing Northern Dancer sire-line dominance, Natalma is bound to continue to exert a major presence on thoroughbred breeding the world over. She surely rates as one of the most influential broodmares in history.

Backworth Dispersal In what is an historic and sad moment for KZN Breeding, Bloodstock South Africa are set to host the Backworth Stud Dispersal Sale, which will be held at Backworth itself on April 10th.

Backworth has long been established as one of KwaZulu’s truly boutique stud farms, and, from a small number of runners, has bred a lengthy list of high class performers.

Among the top runners bred by the Backworth Stud are Gr1 Allan Robertson Fillies Championship winner Chocolicious (who subsequently had a Frankel filly fetch AUS$610 000 at last year’s Inglis Easter Sale), Gr2 Umkhomazi Stakes winner Colour Of Courage, and the high class stakes winners First Again, Raise The Bar, and Variometer.

Recent high class performers bred by the farm include the record breaking siblings Humidor and Scandal.

The dispersal sale, which also contains lots from Janet Baker Properties, Spring Valley Stud and Summerhill Stud, will see 96 lots come up for sale, including a number of well bred and performed mares, two-yearolds, yearlings, weanlings, and fillies for stud.

Covering sires for the above mentioned mares include the likes of Act Of War, Ato, Capetown Noir, Coup De Grace, Ideal World, Judpot, Linngari, Master Of My Fate, Noble Tune, Oratorio, Philanthropist, Querari, Soft Falling Rain, Toreador, Var and Dubawi’s Gr1 winning son Willow Magic.

The sale will commence at 13:00pm and the catalogue can be viewed online at www.tba.co.za Interested parties seeking more information are asked to speak to Michael Holmes at michael@equine.co.za or to Ashley De Klerk at ashley@equine.co.za

H

e is a horse that defies definition and when trying to find words to describe him, one finds yourself frustratingly blank.

You can use ‘great’, ‘amazing’, ‘fantastic’, but what does that really mean? Those words only have meaning when used in context and in this case, there simply isn’t any.

Arrogate doesn’t fit the mould. If anything, he’s broken the mould, smashed it to bits and left everyone standing around going ‘um’.

I don’t know that there are too many horses that have done what he has done or presented quite such a puzzle to fans and turf writers alike.

The horse is a machine. He does not seem to have even the remotest weakness or chink in his armour. It is as fascinating as it is difficult to process. I’ve watched most of his races several times and even though I am sure Youtube are not messing with me, I still can’t quite come to terms with them.

Who Is Arrogate?

Bred by Clearsky Farms, Arrogate is by Unbridled’s Song out of the 7-time winning mare Bubbler and was a $560,000 yearling purchase by Juddmonte on the 2014 Keeneland September sale.

Although not particularly beautiful, he is instantly recognisable with his asymmetrical facial markings.

He doesn’t appear to be sassy or quirky and other than the fact that he appears to be invincible, he does not appear to have any discernible traits that allow one to get a handle on him or a sense of who he is or how he works – but perhaps he hasn’t yet had the time.

Arrogate has been racing for less than a year and has only had a total of 8 lifetime starts. I’ll say that again – eight lifetime starts. He debuted in maiden company on 18 April 2016, finishing just over half a length 3rd in a Maiden Special Weight 6 furlong race on dirt at Los Alamitos. On 5 June, he was let loose over 1m ½f at Santa Anita and demolished a Maiden Special Weight field to break his maiden by 4 ½ lengths. He lined up in another 1m ½f Allowance race at Santa Anita on 24 June 2016 and then Bob Baffert talked Del Mar into putting together another 1m ½f Allowance on 4 August.

Although the race did not fill initially, the Del Mar guys held it over for a day and eventually got 5 entries and carded the race. Two runners ended up scratching and Arrogate won his third race on the trot by 1 ¾ lengths in a 3-horse field. When Baffert came in to thank the Del Mar team for holding the race for him, he mentioned casually, “I think I have the best 3-year-old in America.”

We world hero is some feat. Horses are are in unchartered territory. You not supposed to do that. But what might as well try to describe the taste horses are or are not supposed to of tea to a Martian – the words mean do does not concern Arrogate. He nothing because there is no frame simply is who he is and does what of reference. What’s Arrogate like? he does and doesn’t waste too He’s great! How great? Well, the much time on the rest. truth is we really don’t know.

There yet another track star like they’re simply aren’t any. standing still, but well, what’s a horse Post race, jockey Mike Smith was supposed to do? Sorry mate, coming through. Perhaps that’s why no-one moved to comment, “He is the world's minded when he beat California horse now.” Oddly, amongst the Chrome in the Breeders Cup. Where myriad chat forums and discussions one might ordinarily find reasons currently underway comparing him to dislike the horse that beat ‘your’ to past greats and debating whether favourite, Arrogate is just so darn Saturday’s performance was enough to merit mentioning the big grey in honest about it that you can’t. the same breath as such august A horse that has only had 8 runs company as Secretariat, Cigar, et al, should not be able to a number of race fans be the world’s highest They say the world have admitted feeling earning horse, or seems brighter when somewhat indifferent indeed the world’s about the horse. highest ranked horse. you've just made Again, I don’t think And yet.

Arrogate was making Beryl Markham once of Arts address ‘Make Good Art’ he explains history. said "A lovely horse is that people who know always an experience. what they are doing know the rules, It is an emotional experience of the and know what is possible and kind that is spoiled by words." And impossible. People who do not yet Arrogate is a lovely horse. know what they are doing, do not.

I recently found another quote And should not. The rules on what is possible and impossible are set which reads "Work until you don't by people who have not tested the need to introduce yourself." I think bounds of the possible by going that sums up Arrogate for me. He is beyond them. But those not bogged simply Arrogate. And that is enough.

This Is The Life

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

Four From Thirteen

Kenilworth 18 March A pinnacle stakes over 1000m topped the bill in Cape Town on Saturday and in what proved to be the faster of the two races over the distance, the easy to back LA FAVOURARI registered his fourth win from just thirteen starts. Soon up handy, Andre Nel’s charge put his head in front 100m from home and with some in hand won comfortably from his fellow 8/1 shot OVAR. Third placed LINE BREAK had raced detached at the rear, and finished very well.

Quickest home in the two 1200m events was the totally unfancied GOLDEN PASS in the MR72 Handicap. Priced up as the rank outsider of the twelve horse party at 66/1, the in under sufferance daughter of Judpot raced in the backend of midfield early on. She ran on best of all over the final 400m and got the better of READY SET GO (also came from the backend of midfield) by a length.

They also ran two races over 2000m and not surprisingly the quickest of these was the MR86 Handicap won by the favourite KING OF THE CORN. There was no real pace early on and going through the 300m the race was still wide open. King Of The Corn had raced up with the speed throughout though, and in what proved to be a thrilling three way finish he only got the verdict by the narrowest of margins.

TITBITS Easy to back BIG PLEASURE only had to be pushed out when winning the opening maiden juvenile plate over 1400m by a length and a quarter.

Detached at the rear early on, the 3yo TRIP THE WILLOW was gaining at the finish when only beaten a neck by her lesser fancied stable companion NORDIC BREEZE in the MR89 Handicap over 1200m.

Scent Of Victory Greyville 19 March Three of the eight races on the poly track on Sunday afternoon took place over 1400m and stopping the clock in the fastest time amongst these was the front running FOUNDING FATHER in the MR78 Handicap. Allowed a very healthy three lengths advantage for most of the journey, the bottom weight was all out at the finish and just held on by a neck from the slightly more fancied MASTER OF MISCHIEF. The faster of the two 1200m races on the card was the MR80 Handicap in which SCENT OF THE TIGER registered his third career victory.

Heavily supported at the track (7/2 into 15/10), Mark Dixon’s charge led throughout. The second favourite SCARRABEAST gave his all in trying to get on terms over the final 400m, but try as he might, he couldn’t get closer than three quarters at the wire.

Two of the three remaining races were staged over 2000m and quickest home in these was WARFARER in the MR84 Handicap. Soon up handy, the nibbled at son of Querari took up the running early in the straight and steadily drew clear on the run to the line to score by three and a quarter.

TITBITS Detached at the rear after being a little slow into stride, the well weighted PYRENEES IN SPAIN won the MR66 Handicap with some in hand by three quarters.

Turffontein 21 March They raced on the inner track on Tuesday afternoon where four of the eight races were run over 1200m. Quickest home in these was CALL KELLY in the MR72 Handicap. He got away well when the gates opened and soon up handy raced prominent throughout. He ran on strongly over the final 400m and got up late to deny the front running HOT AUGUST. The afternoon’s feature event was a MR85 Handicap over 1000m and here we saw a smart performance from THE THINKER. In the rear when the race began in earnest, the 3yo son of Visionaire ran on best of all, and won going away by a length and a quarter after striking the front 60m from home.

Race three on the card was a maiden plate over 1600m and here victory went to the well supported favourite IT’S A TRUE STORY. Backed into 14/10 from 2/1 at the track, Dianne Stenger’s charge was soon Horses worth following at their next few starts... positioned close to the speed. FRIEND REQUEST (D Drier, KZN) He took up the running LINE BREAK (C Bass-Robinson, KZN) going through the 200m SCENT OF THE TIGER (M Dixon, KZN) and kept on strongly in the closing stages of the race to TOP SPEED RATINGS beat the all-out JAY ZEE by three quarters. for this WEEKEND (Ratings shown have already been TITBITS

Notebook

FREE THE WIND was gaining at the finish when only beaten a short head in the opening maiden plate over 1200m.

Greyville 22 March was soon positioned close to the speed. He put his head in front at the top of the home straight and with the rest some 6,5 lengths adrift at the wire, he comfortably accounted for SCOTCH BRIAR by a length and a half.

In terms of distance, the easiest victory on the card was recorded by the 6yo KEPT SECRET when completing a quick double at the track in the MR68 Handicap over 1000m. A winner over 1200m here just five days earlier, Belinda Impey’s charge raced sixth early on. She was ridden to lead shortly after passing the 200m marker and won going away by three.

TITBITS Beaten just 0,2 lengths, FRIEND REQUEST was baulked 300m out when running on strongly from the rear to finish third in the MR78 Handicap over 1600m.

1475 x4 Vaal 23 March Thursday’s action took place on the inside track where very unusually they raced over 1475m in four of the nine races. By far the fastest time amongst these was that of the MR79 Handicap in which the friendless STREETWEAR registered his third career victory. Taken straight to the front when the gates opened, Brian Wiid’s charge led throughout. He ran on strongly over the final 400m and although the ultra-consistent GOLDEN MAN finished well from the rear, he did have that one held by 0,6 lengths at the wire.

Three of the other five races were staged over 1600m and stopping the clock in the fastest time here was the 3yo ARABIAN SEA. Easy to back at 9/1 on the off, the Count Dubois gelding was a little slow into stride and as a result he raced seventh of the eight early on. He ran on best of

Speedy Call

It Was Written Racing returned to the poly track on Wednesday afternoon. IN OTHER WORDS in the bill topping pinnacle stakes was the best bet for Sporting Post, and the top weighted Trippi mare didn’t let down our followers. Sent off at the generous price of 2/1, the best weighted runner in the field was a little slow into stride and as a result she raced sixth of the seven for most of the journey. Once in the short home straight though she ran on best of all and under a welljudged ride from Anthony Delpech she got up late to beat the front running PEARL EMBLEM by three quarters.

The only other distance on the card to stage more than one race was 2000m where the faster of the two maiden events was the boy’s affair won by GESTE. Sent off joint second in the betting market at 28/10, the Querari gelding

all when the race developed into a sprint 50m out and in an event where less than a length covered the first four home, he got up late to beat STREET FLYER. Race six on the card was a MR65 Handicap over 1600m and here we saw a smart performance from the well handicapped SHOTGUN RIDER. Racing off a mark some 12 points lower than that of just six runs back, Roy Magner’s charge lost a length at the start and raced in the rear. He cut through the field quickly when given rein and with some in hand won easing down by over a length.

TITBITS The 3yo SUMMER WIND ran on well from the rear when comfortably accounting for her thirteen rivals in the maiden plate over 2000m.
