Gr3 BYERLEY TURK at Greyville this Sunday

H

The Cape visitors have a top-class record in the R250 000 Gr3 Byerley Turk but Summerveld trainer Robbie Hill will be looking to break the stranglehold at Greyville on Sunday. He saddles the exciting Pathfork gelding Red Chesnut Road who looks ready to make a name for himself.

istory shows that it may well be folly backing against the Cape hotshots, headed this time by Justin Snaith’s Copper Force, but there is plenty to like on what we have seen from Red Chesnut Road so far.

The Byerley Turk is restricted to 3yo’s with weights framed on the basis that two-time winners and less carry 54 kgs, with an additional 2 kgs for each additional win. In addition, further penalties accrue for Gr1 wins of 3kgs, Gr2 of 2kgs and Gr3 wins attract 1kg.

Road Runner Racing off an MR of 104, Red Chesnut Road is the officially highest rated galloper in the race and looks nicely in with his 57kgs.

He was backed to win his debut, which he duly did by over 7 lengths.

He followed up with a similar demolition job in the Gr3 Godolphin Barb at his very next start.

An eight month break due to an injury sustained in his box was followed by an eyecatching second on the Greyville Poly under top weight.

He travelled to Turffontein last

ic Gr1 SA Class April Turffontein, 1 for trainer M de Kock

Saturday for the Gr3 Man O’War Sprint and in obvious need of it, he stayed on quietly to be beaten just under 5 lengths by the speed filly, Exquisite Touch.

Eight days later he is asked to take on a nice bunch of his contemporaries over 300m further and if he is sound and travelled well looks a reasonably decent bet.

Forceful Justin Snaith broke the ice at Scottsville on Sunday with Jo’s Bond and he saddles the well drawn Copper Force.

The son of Royal Air Force won 2 from 5 before flying up late to chase William Longsword home in the CTS Mile.

He carries a kilo less than the Hill runner here – and his official MR of 91 may well be deceptive for the uninformed.

He ran off an 85 in the CTS Mile and in terms of the rules could not be penalised for an effort that saw him achieve a 104 in that restricted race! His connections subsequently requested a loading of 6 points, leading to his current rating.

Assuming he is capable of repeating his last run after a 10

2013

week break, Copper Force looks capable of going very close.

Sean Tarry’s yard is in prime form and Africa Rising must go into calculations at best.

The son of Visionaire has been rested 16 weeks since finding nothing late when beaten into sixth and just over 4 lengths off William Longsword in the Cape Guineas.

He is likely to need the outing but is Gr1 placed as a 2yo at this track and even the Tarry stable cat cannot be ignored.

Gordon Trio The talented Captain Al gelding My Pal Al is one of three Alistair Gordon runners.

He has sadly drawn widest of all but has homeground advantage and has won his last two starts – granted on the poly – by an aggregate of close on 8 lengths.

Duncan Howells has two in this field and the Kahal gelding Amazon King has shown some decent form to older horses recently.

His level weights 1,30 length beating by subsequent Gr3 Kings Cup runner-up Royal Armour at his penultimate start was a fair effort and he would warrant inclusion were he not drawn so wide.

Gr1 Premiers Champion Stakes winner Gunner has yet to produce any form as a 3yo and comes off a 16 week break since being well beaten with every chance out of the money in the Cape Guineas.

He will need to show more.

Heavenly Blue storms home under Callan Murray

Gr1 SA CLASSIC Turffontein last Saturday

O

Legal Eagle and Anton Marcus make it look easy

Gr1 HORSE CHESTNUT STAKES Turffontein last Saturday

A fully fledged jockey for only a matter of months, Callan Murray registered a career first Gr1 success and gave trainer Mike de Kock the second leg of a Classic double when the Australian-bred Heavenly Blue ran out a smooth winner of the R2 million Gr1 SA Classic at Turffontein.

n a day dominated by Sean Tarry, Mike de Kock forced his way onto centre stage grabbing a thrilling Gr1 double.

In a nine horse field, De Kock arrived with three runners – headed by the PR hope, SA Triple Crown first leg winner Janoobi.

But Heavenly Blue always looked the more likely to relish the extra ground and to challenge Sean Tarry’s boom colt, Al Sahem.

Prior to Saturday, the handsome grey Heavenly Blue’s major claim to fame was his debut win in the first ever race on the Vaal Classic track.

Subsequent feature runner-up cheques in the Graham Beck Stakes and the Dingaans suggested Heavenly Blue was ready for bigger things, but a modest Cape Guineas effort from an awful draw, dashed the dreams of a possible Sun Met tilt.

Back at home, his slow wind-up third in the Gauteng Guineas behind Janoobi and Al Sahem three weeks ago gave a hint of better things to come over ground and the SP toprated runner put it all together in style on Saturday.

Allowed to relax as stablemate Alaadel did the donkey work up front, Callan Murray slipped Heavenly Blue down the inside as Craig Zackey showed some cheek on longshot Unagi who went for broke at the 400m.

Powering down the rail under a left-handed ride from the former SA and Zimbabwe champion apprentice Murray, Heavenly Blue always looked to be too strong for 16-10 fancy Al Sahem who plodded down the centre without looking dangerous.

An elated Murray pushed his mount out with the hands in the final 50m as the son of Snitzel went on too powerfully to win by 2,90 lengths in a time of 109,69 secs.

Furiosa came on late to deny the gallant Unagi third place.

Janoobi had every chance but patently failed to stay the 1800m and faded very badly late. The rest were outclassed.

Heavenly Blue has won 3 races with 3 places from his 7 starts for stakes of R1 618 750.

An A$200 000 Inglis Easter yearling purchase from the Arrowfield Stud draft by Jehan Malherbe’s Form Bloodstock, Heavenly Blue is by Redoute’s Choice stallion Snitzel.

He is the first foal of El Prado’s one time winner Simply Carina – a daughter of Allen Paulson’s four-time GrI-winning turf mare Astra (Theatrical {Ire}), who was purchased

by Freyer Bloodstock for US$290,000 out of the 2010 Keeneland November sale.

Simply Carina’s second produce, a filly by Smart Missile (Aus), fetched A$270 000 at the 2016 Magic Millions Gold Coast sale and she foaled a full-sister to Heavenly Blue in 2015.

Eagle On A High

I

The outstanding miler Legal Eagle cemented his position as South Africa’s leading racehorse when he went start to finish at Turffontein to win the R1 million Gr1 HF Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut Stakes for the second year running.

t was touch and go to nominate a star of the afternoon, with Legal Eagle’s trainer Sean Tarry notching up six straight winners, but SA Horse Of The Year Legal Eagle would have received plenty of votes for his superb show of clinical dominance over the standside mile.

One could be forgiven that we were watching a Gr1 as Anton Marcus took the 5yo Greys Inn gelding up to lead from the break in the nine horse field.

Returning from a break of nine weeks following his defeat by Whisky Baron in the Sun Met, the dual L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate winner went through the motions in his

inimitable no-frills clinical style.

Every time Marcus asked he gave, and when New Predator moved into his slipstream at the 500m, we thought the Eagle could have a race on.

But inside the 300m he had broken their hearts and Marcus geared the star down as he registered his tenth success and sixth Gr1 score from 17 starts.

Legal Eagle sauntered in to beat his multiple Gr1 winning stablemate French Navy by 2,40 lengths in a time of 96 s flat.

French Navy was best of the rest, 1,70 lengths ahead of New Predator, with Rafeef well beaten in fourth.

Anton Marcus, who has been aboard at all but two wins, said it was ‘a privilege to ride a horse like this’.

Trainer Sean Tarry has done a great job with Legal Eagle and made the day his own, with his sixth consecutive win.

Bred by Avontuur, the son of Vodacom Durban July winner Greys Inn is out of the six-time winning National Emblem mare Young Sensation, who was also trained by Sean Tarry.

He was bought by Tarry on behalf of top owner Markus Jooste for R425 000 at the 2013 BSA National Yearling Sale.

Legal Eagle has won 10 races with 5 places from his 17 starts and boosted his stakes earnings to R8 647 875.

As he did last term, he is likely to line up to defend his title in the R4 million Gr1 President’s Champions Challenge at Turffontein over 400m further on 6 May.

One For The Sponsors Gr1 Wilgerbosdrift SA FILLIES CLASSIC Turffontein last Saturday

one more so than Mike de Kocktrained Orchid Island’s dazzling late victory burst to win the R1 million Wilgerbosdrift Gr1 SA Fillies Classic with under a length covering the first five home.

Carrying the sponsors’ black and scarlet, the well-related Orchid Island followed in the hoofprints of Athina, who won the race when saddled

by Joey Soma and ridden by Kevin Shea in 2014.

Thirteen of South Africa’s top 3yo fillies lined up in the second leg of the Wilgerbosdrift SA Triple Tiara, with first leg

winner Smiling Blue Eyes the form, and sentimental choice, to follow up on her Guineas victory last month.

But things didn’t quite go according to the script for the favourite, who was never going well and finished closer to last on a rare Tarry fail on the day.

With Maleficent showing the way, Anthony Delpech had Orchid Island shadowing Smile Blue Eyes 15 lengths back as they came for home, with many in the mix and looking to be in with chances.

Maleficent faded quickly and with all the action up the outside, Bi Pot moved up dangerously, closely tracked

by Safe Harbour, as Orchid

Island took off followed by Belle Rose wide out.

In a dogged duel to the wire, any one of five fillies could win going into the 200m, including Robbie Sage’s Oriental Oak (a former Glen Kotzen resident) who was sneaking up quietly into the mix.

Safe Harbour and then Wild Orchid grabbed the lead, as Belle Rose continued to come home hard under Anton Marcus.

But the MauritzfonteinWilgerbosdrift retained Anthony Delpech was the man in control when it counted, and he got Orchid Island to rally and register a second Gr1 success for his

N

The 2017 SA Triple Crown and Triple Tiara may be lying in tatters on the Turffontein turf but there was plenty to enthuse about on Classic Day.

Anthony Delpech gets Orchid Island up with a finely timed effort sponsors after Nightingale’s win in the Majorca Stakes on Sun Met day.

The daughter of Silvano pipped the gallant Safe Harbour by a deceptive quarter length in a time of 111,05 secs, with Bi Pot a neck back in third.

Recent Oaks Trial winner Belle Rose showed no after effects from her major effort

seven days earlier and just shaded Oriental Oak for fourth. Both look big SA Oaks hopefuls on this effort.

Smiling Blue Eyes failed to spark and finished 13 lengths back.

A granddaughter of champion racemare, Ilha Da Vitoria and bred by Wilgerbosdrift and Mauritzfontein, Orchid Island is

by past champion sire Silvano out of the three time winning Listed Oaks Trial winning Tiger Ridge mare, Ilha Grande.She had beaten the boys in the Listed Sea Cottage Stakes at her penultimate start and looks a filly with a bright future.

Orchid Island has won 3 races with 3 places from 6 starts and stakes of R850 950.

Gr3 UMZIMKHULU STAKES at Greyville this Sunday A highly competitive dozen of 3yo fillies line up for the Gr3 Umzimkhulu Stakes, over 1400m on the Greyville turf track. The majority won or placed at their last start, so there is form and ratings to rely on.

Weights are set at 54kg for up to 2 wins, with an additional 2kg for each further win. On top of that Gr1 winners get 3kg, Gr2 winners 2kg and Gr3 winners 1kg, provided those wins were during the last 18 months – which is a pretty stupid constraint, considering these are 3yo fillies, who 18 months ago (as 2yo’s) hadn’t even started to race – never mind in black type races. Favourites tend to have a good record in this race, even though last year’s 22/1 winner Fromafar might have you think differently.

op weighted is The Secret Is Out, winner last season of the Gr1 Allan Robertson Fillies Championship and Gr3 Strelitzia Stakes at her first two starts. She didn’t race from June to October, returning to the track in Cape Town.

Things didn’t quite go to plan there. Below best on return, she bled next time out, causing her to miss the subsequent major features. The Secret Is Out was off from November to January, running somewhat below best on her return when well supported in a 1200m fillies handicap. Not seen out since, she will be on a mission to re-kindle her reputation and add further to her already impressive stud-value. Time will tell.

Second highest weighted in The High Life, winner of her last two starts (and four of her last six). Her last win was in a

2016

fillies handicap over 2000m on Met-day in January. She has mainly been campaigned over a mile and more, so this race may be just a pipe opener. On ratings she has a bit to find in this company.

Third highest weight Sail took on the best of all ages during the Cape season. She showed consistent form in terms of ratings, finishing some three lengths off the winners in all of the Guineas, Paddock and Majorca Stakes. Prior to that she’d beaten The Secret Is Out by 2 lengths under the same weight conditions as here.

Trained by Dennis Drier she’s bound to be fit and ready, and this could be her moment.

Final Judgement, like Sail, competed in the major fillies races during the Cape season. Her best effort, in terms of ratings, was when 2 lengths sixth to Bela-Bela in the Paddock Stakes, and a length ahead of Sail. The two meet under the same weight

conditions here, and Final Judgement also hasn’t raced since January.

A Womens Way had useful 2yo form, but less so in three starts as a 3yo, in sprints. She tries 1400m for the first time.

On ratings she has a bit to find against the top weights. The same goes for Tanami, who won her last start, but goes in at the deep end here.

Dawn Calling comes out top of the Sporting Post ratings, thanks to her efforts in major 2yo features in July at this track.

She was beaten a whisker by Final Judgement in one, and a length by Querari Falcon in another. Her subsequent form, as a 3yo, has been disappointing. She was last seen out early in January this year, so it is hard to know what to expect here, fitness-wise.

Gimmesix ran to a careerbest rating last time out, over 1400m at Kenilworth at the end of February. As a 2-time winner

she’s favoured at the weights, and with further improvement must be a serious contender here. She beat Trippi’s Girl by half a length in a 1400m handicap on Met-day, and is 2kg better off here. Trippi’s Girl did win last time out after being slow away, to record a career-best rating in a 1200m sprint at Scottsville. There may not be much between her and Gimme Six this time, despite the weight turnover.

The bottom three have not shown enough to be taken seriously in this company.

Expect as close a finish as we’ve seen earlier in the year in fillies races in the Cape, with all of Sail, Final Judgement, Gimme Six, Dawn Calling and Trippi’s Girl trying to outgun The Secret Is Out. That’s half the field! Six of one, half a dozen of another – don’t be caught short in your exotics.

Bulleting Home full of running under Keagan De Melo

Levelling The Playing Fields

Kotzen and ErasmusTake Early Lead The newly introduced ‘Levelling the Playing Fields’ series kicked off at Scottsville on Sunday and despite the lukewarm response, the two races provided rousing finishes.

GOLD CIRCLE

T Bulleting Home Gr3 KINGS CUP Greyville last Friday

T

Sean Tarry got his dream winning weekend under way in style at Greyville when the Western Winter gelding Bulleting Home lived up to his name at his first time on the polytrack.

he R250 000 Gr3 Kings Cup, for years a traditional turf mile, was run for the second time on the all -weather surface and produced an easy win for the rampant Tarry.

A quality twelve horse field lined up for the mile handicap with Cape based Justin Snaith sending out an early season runner in Fifty Cents.

Sylvester The Cat and the mare Pearl Emblem showed the way as Keagan De Melo had Bulleting Home beautifully placed in midfield on the rail.

Anton Marcus went for the jugular early into the straight as he shot Captain Aldo clear, but Bulleting Home was being angled out and the big bay loomed large at the 300m.

With the rest floundering and under pressure, Bulleting Home showed impressive

commitment and drew off strongly to beat Royal Armour by 3,50 lengths in a time of 94,47 s.

Secret Warning came out of the pack to maintain his consistent formline in third, with the favourite Arctica a disappointing 5,25 length fourth.

Captain Aldo faded after looking dangerous in the straight, while the pacesetting Sylvester The Cat ran a dismal last.

Bred by Lammerskraal Stud, Bulleting Home is a 5yo gelded son of Western Winter out of the three-time winning Lion Hearted mare, Kapen Cat. Bulleting Home has won 6 races with 12 places from 25 starts and stakes of R708 050.

Tarry ended up with 8 winners on the weekend.

he KZN Breeders Club came up with the concept in terms of which each trainer was invited to nominate one KZN Bred horse with a rating of 78 and below to compete in three rounds over 1200m, 1400m and a mile, with four weeks between each round.

Apart from the stake money on offer for each race (R100 000) and the R200 000 final on Sunday 25 June, a prize of R50 000 each is on the table for the Owner, Trainer, Jockey and Breeder who accumulates the most points over the Series, including the final.

For Sunday’s 1200m leg, only 23 entries were received.

These were ballotted into two heats, and the jockeys were also balloted.

On Sunday, the first heat opened the Pick 6 and produced a shock after the fancied Beckedorf lost many lengths at the start.

The Chris Erasmus trained Putchini led most of the way and stayed on well under an inspired ride from Billy Jacobson to beat Reactive by a short head. Cipher held on for third – although many punters thought that Poivre had gotten up into the PA on

time winning Royal Academy mare, Royal Promise.

It was a top-class win by the 3yo filly in mixed company.

the outside, Bred by Yellow Star Stud, Putchini is a son of Bezrin out of the Centenary mare Suki Tortri.

The 5yo Putchini, who races in the silks of young Ashley De Klerk, has won 5 races with 15 places from 49 starts for stakes of R371 100.

The second heat was run a half hour later and it was Cape trainer Glen Kotzen’s Mogok filly Royal Agree who hit the front to win well by 1,25 lengths in a time of 69,08 s.

Ridden by Athandiwe Mgudlwa, Royal Agree has won 2 races with 2 places from 8 starts and took her stakes to R127 700.

His trainer may have labelled him ‘a 16.1hh Marie biscuit’ recently, but Gimmethegreenlight’s son Gimme The Stars amply makes up for his lack of physical constitution with a deadly turn of foot.

The gelding registered his fourth win on the trot when winning the R150 000 Listed East Cape Guineas at Fairview.

An astute horsewoman, the keen eye of Yvette Bremner has long marked Gimme The Stars as an above average 3yo and she told the Sporting Post recently that he is ‘a talented horse, who will be stronger when he fills out and grows into his frame’.

At the 250m, Rinjani was going well enough, but young Hewitson was bluffing them and he unleashed a late effort as he switched Gimme The Stars out for a run – much as he had done in the Ibhayi Stakes. There was no hesitation this time though as the son of Gimmethegreenlight hit the front and left them for dead.

Going off at 28-10, Gimme The Stars finished full of running to beat the Cape challenger Rinjani by 2,25 lengths in a time of 98,30 secs.

The Avontuur-sponsored Hewitson has been aboard at all of Gimme The Stars’ five wins.

A R250 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 purchase, Gimme The Stars races in a partnership of Bryn Ressell, Hedley McGrath and Mark Wright and has earned R355 900 from his 5 wins with 4 places from 11 starts.

His win in the Listed Ibhayi Stakes in early March made him Gimmethegreenlight’s fourth stakes winner .Gimme The Stars was bred by Patricia Devine Investments from the one-time winning Jet Master mare, Cosmic Jet.

The Piere Strydom genius has been the catalyst to getting the talented Judpot filly Polyphonic back into the winner’s enclosure.

The Varsfontein bred 4yo showed her class when registering a smart win in the R250 000 Listed Jacaranda Handicap at Turffontein on Saturday.

No jockey can settle a horse the way Striker does and the top-rated filly in the competitive looking thirteen strong handicap was last for much of the journey, as Cassie O’Malley and Inaninstant did the bidding up front.

At the 500m marker, Strydom drifted her out from her backmarker position and rode the goodlooking daughter of Judpot with his hands.

Like a good horse, she stretched and cut them down smartly, passing Pennington Sands inside the 200m to win going away.

Strydom only went for the whip to straighten his mount inside the final 100m. A very impressive win!

Polyphonic went on to win readily by 1,40 lengths in a time of 111,46 s.

Tyrone Zackey’s consistent Pennington Sands put in her usual honest effort to grab second from Banking April, while the enigmatic Negroamaro showed some spark by running into fourth.

Patchit Up Baby ran a rare ordinary race to finish in midfield. On a generally tough day for the Cape visitors, Skip A Beat ran stone last.

Polyphonic has now won 3 races with 5 places from 12 starts and stakes of R470 850.

She is by Judpot out of the winner producing six-time winning Princess Polly (Royal Chalice).

Alec Laird had her looking a million dollars and she could pay to follow.

Lost luggage and a slipped saddle couldn’t stop Richard Fourie and Justin Snaith from opening their 2017 KZN feature account in style with the super quick Captain Al filly Jo’s Bond in the R150 000 Listed KwazuluNatal Stakes at a sweltering Scottsville.

A busy weekend that saw Richard Fourie with two blank days behind him at Fairview on Friday and Turffontein on Saturday, and then arriving in Durban with no luggage and the prospect of a long drive all the way to Pietermaritzburg for one ride in 40 degree temperatures, was a true test for the professionalism of the crack lightweight.

And when his saddle slipped back shortly after the start, Fourie must have wondered how much worse it could get.

But Gr2 Southern Cross Stakes winner Jo’s Bond was too good for her nine opponents and besides Fourie sitting wide legged for the 1000m, the race panned out well.

With Elusivenchantment going well in front, Jo’s Bond came up the outside and looked to have a race on her hands.

A change of legs at the 200m saw Jo’s Bond quicken smartly and she carried too many guns for local star Elusivenchantment, whom she went on to beat by a length in a time of 56,62 s.

Glen Kotzen’s Our Destiny finished well for third.

A R325 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 graduate, Jo’s Bond was bred by Klawervlei Stud and is a daughter of Captain Al out of the unraced Muhtafal mare, Itlaaq.

All of her 8 wins from her 18 starts have been achieved over 1000m. She has now earned R686 275 and looks a decent one to stick with over the minimum trip.

Avontuur stallion Oratorio produced an early feature winner from his first SA crop when the fast improving Arianos Bagofgold finished well to win the R150 000 Sentinel Stakes at Scottsville.

Only seven 2yo’s lined up in the non blacktype 1000m feature and with all of the attention on Pat Lunn’s previously unbeaten Autumn In Seattle, the Gavin Van Zyl trained recent maiden winner Arianos Bagofgold was largely ignored in the betting.

But after relaxing his mount early, Eric Ngwane rode a vigorous race, and got the gelding into full stride inside the 250m to win well by a half length in a time of 57,27 s.

Ngwane cheekily slapped his mount down the shoulder a few strides before the post in a statement of glee.

The runner-up had no luck in running, but would have struggled to hold the winner.

The win over the minimum trip will be of great excitement to all those with an interest in the internationally proven stakes winning sire, who was not expected to produce early winners!

Oratorio’s first South African crop already boasts seven 2yos who have either won or been placed.

A R300 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale graduate, Arianos Bagofgold has now won 2 races with a place from 3 starts for stakes of R151 125.

The winner was bred by Dr Ian Heyns and is out of the two-time winning Var mare, Heritage Wood.

Anton Marcus punches Barrack Street out to an easy win

Tarry To The Four!

Gr3 PROTEA STAKES Turffontein last Saturday

A

Sean Tarry teamed up with Anton Marcus to maintain his Classic Day stranglehold when scoring his fourth straight victory on the big race programme.

fter S’manga Khumalo had been aboard the first three Tarry winners, Anton Marcus stepped into the breach in his capacity as Mayfair Speculators retained jockey on Barrack Street in the R200 000 Gr3 Protea Stakes.

This move amounted to a measure of divine consolation after Marcus had lost the second race to Tarry and Khumalo in the boardroom.

With the Pick 6 pool reaching R5,6 million, there was plenty of interest in the six horse field – but little sweat for those that had sided with the favourite.

First-timer Boatswain came out firing to lead Barrack Street and Laurent Du Var early.

At the 400m marker, Marcus made his move on Barrack Street and even though Boatswain wasn’t going away, the experience of the recent Storm Bird Stakes winner told as he asserted his authority.

The race was again on for second as Barrack Street powered ahead to beat Laurent Du Var by 0,90 lengths in a time of 62,35 s.

The Australian-bred Boatswain will be unbackable in maiden company next time after this gutsy showing and held on well for third, a further length back.

The Klawervlei Stud bred Barrack Street, who races in the silks of Mayfair Speculators and Chris Van Niekerk (what a day with the first four winners!) is a R500 000 2016 CTS Lanzerac Ready To Run sale graduate.

There was some doubt from his trainer that he would stay the 1100m, but he never let up.

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

Barrack Street looks a very decent speed prospect in the making and scored his third win from four starts for stakes of R297 625.

Gr3 MAN O'WAR SPRINT Turffontein last Saturday

A Touch Quick!

T

Trainer Sean Tarry made it five wins from five races on Classic Day when the smart Var filly Exquisite Touch won the R250 000 Gr3 Man O’ War Sprint in double quick time.

arry was unstoppable on a day that he modestly conceded to having the ‘firepower and form in the right races’. That is somewhat of an oversimplification of the reality that he buys well, trains well and enjoys the support of a top team and a loyal leading owner.

Recent Bauhinia Handicap winner Exquisite Touch was relaxed three lengths off the speed early as Clever Guy went fast with British Royale and Favour’s Pride in tow.

KZN challenger Red Chesnut Road stuck to his station down the outside and looked to be going very well as Khumalo unleashehd Exquisite Touch with a burst down the middle at the 350m marker.

The daughter of Var put her head down and lengthened her stride to hold off the late challenge of the super consistent Green Pepper by 3,20 lengths in a new course record time of 61,53 s.

Our records show that Ruby Clipper held the previous

course record for the 1100m at 61,65 s.

Corne Spies’ Favour’s Pride made it a fairer sex trifecta when she stayed on for a well beaten third.

Red Chesnut Road appeared to have every chance and was 0,25 lengths further back in fourth. Not a bad effort over the trip and he may be ready to step up in ground as the SA Champions Season looms.

The Waterford Stud bred Exquisite Touch is by speed superstar Var out of four-time winner, Lavender Sky. A R350 000 2015 Emperors Palace Select Yearling Sale graduate, she has won 4 races with 1 place from 7 starts and stakes of R430 000.

Gr3 PRETTY POLLY STAKES Turffontein last Saturday

SA champion trainer – jockey combination Sean Tarry and S’manga Khumalo made a cracking start to Classic Day at Turffontein on Saturday when they won the first three races on the card, including the opening feature.

ith a dramatic victory in the 2016 renewal of this feature under the belt with the talented Cloth Of Cloud, the champion pair had been this road before and the result was never in doubt.

Only six 2yo fillies turned up for the R200 000 Gr3 Pretty Polly Stakes, and with Tarry holding the aces with 50% of the field, it was hardly surprising to see him pick up the first two cheques.

Khumalo had the 14-10 favourite Green Plains tucked up two lengths off the gallop and produced the daughter of Gimmethegreenlight at the 450m mark.

It turned into a race for second at that stage as the pacy bay stretched well to win going

away by 2,75 lengths in a time of 62,91s.

Stablemate Celestina, still a maiden, acquitted herself well to secure the R40 000 second cheque, while Star Profile was a half length back in third.

The Gary Player Stud-bred Green Plains is a fifth stakes winner for form sire Gimmethegreenlight, who also sired the winner of the Listed East Cape Guineas 24 hours earlier.

A R350 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale purchase, the winner races in the silks of leading owner Chris van Niekerk and is a first foal of the one-time winning Jet Master mare, Savannah Leigh. She was registering her first stakes win and has won twice from three starts with one place for stakes of R202 250.

Randjesfontein trainer Jurgen van Heerden ended a twenty year wait when celebrating the first graded stakes winner of his career courtesy of the Australian-bred Ilitshe, who stayed on best to win the R250 000 Gr3 Caradoc Gold Cup at Turffontein.

n the hurly burly of the feature days we probably tend to forget about the smaller yards who come racing and mostly go home empty handed.

For trainer Jurgen van Heerden all the early mornings, frustrations and disappointments fell neatly into perspective after Ryan Munger rode a cracker to get the Mike de Kock retread up late in the final feature of a long Classic Day. Under sufferance in the ten horse field, the Carefree Syndicate owned Ilitshe was easy to back at 18-1 and relaxed near the rear as Let

It Rain and Coby ensured a decent gallop up front over the 2850m.

At the 350m marker Let It Rain was a good few lengths to the good still but Munger wasn’t panicking and he sent Ilitshe after the leader.

With a sustained finishing effort, Ilitshe went past Let It Rain to win by 0,70 lengths in a time of 180,84 seconds.

The fancied Save The Rhino was in the mix late and stayed on for third ahead of the Silvano filly Zafira.

This was a second stakes win for Ilitshe who took his win tally to 6 with 6 places from his 23 starts for stakes

Ryan Munger steers Ilitshe to a great win of R510 450.

A son of champion sire Fastnet Rock, he is the sixth winner of the retired Sadler’s Wells mare Reem Albaraari, a daughter of champion sprinter, Habibti.

Ilitshe is a half-brother to dual Gr1 winner Morshdi, the Champion 3yo of Italy and Germany in 2001.

Originally a $15 000 Inglis Premier purchase for Colm Santry Bloodstock from the Erinvale Thoroughbreds draft, he was bought as a Mike de Kock horse-in-training by VCR Properties for R200 000 at the 2014 Michael Holmes Super Sale.

He was bravely given a year off after being purchased and that seems to have done the trick – not that his trainer doesn’t know about patience!

Ian Jayes publishes his memoirs

This went on for about six runs until Jim Prince became fed-up with the situation and decided to have a go. He backed his horse and it won. Jumbo Goldstein then backed his horse and it won. As hard as it is to believe, after stopping them five or six times in Maiden Plates, before the year was out they both finished up in the top division.

But that's how it was.”

“I have a picture of the 1934 South African Nursery – there were 40 jockey names on the board. They used to line the horses up in rows and the starter used to say 'triers to the front, crookies behind - sort yourselves out'.

That's where racing has come from.”

While it is unlikely to trouble the Times best seller list or the Man Booker Prize panel, it is nonetheless an amusing and interesting account of Ian's life, an interesting slice of South African history as well as a bird's eye view of some of the highs, lows and controversies of the South African racing scene.

Ian explains that that he started the project writing for his children and grandchildren to tell them a bit about their family history, explain their roots and how they got to where they are today. “It’s really about my Ian Jayes life and how I’ve spent it, the things I’ve been involved in and how it all came about.”

He includes a review of the infamous intrigue of a Dick Francis novel. Rather than being intended incident regarding Tote irregularities as well as the high profile as some sort of expose, Ian says he chose to relate the stories case against Wally Segal. “I was sued for defamation, went to in order to paint a picture of the racing industry as it was back court and settled out of court – it makes for very interesting then. “It was a very different world to what we know today. reading for anyone wanting an insight into some of the goings Lots of people don’t realise that and become very judgmental,” on at the time.

There were no wild celebrations or all-night Classic Day after parties for South Africa’s newest Gr1 winning jockey this past weekend.

A

After his SA Classic victory on the Australian-bred Heavenly Blue it was a quick dinner and early to bed for a 04h30 flight to Harare on Sunday morning for Callan Murray.

The quietly spoken rider still lives at home with Mom and Dad and has only been a fullyfledged jockey for a matter of months.

His rise to prominence has been a meteoric one in many respects and for any of us who were once 20 years old, it is difficult to imagine the weight of pressure on those youthful shoulders.

But he says modestly that he is lucky to be where he is.

Confident

We asked him how it felt when he realised that he was on the brink of a maiden Gr1 success in those final strides on Saturday.

“I have been on Heavenly Blue’s back every day in work when not riding out-of-province for the past two months. He has come on lengths and I knew what I had under me weeks before Saturday. He was always going to be more effective over the 1800m - and I hope it doesn’t sound over the top to admit that I went into the race with some confidence!”

Callan added that the son of Snitzel was not the type of horse to be bustled.

“We had the wide draw so it was the intention to drop him in. The pace was a genuine one and I thus always knew they would come back to me in the straight. While it was all a bit of a blur, I just heaved a sigh of relief at the 50m marker and enjoyed the roar of the crowd and the commentary.”

And that broad smile in the winning pic?

“Didn’t that pic turn out so cool! I couldn’t help smiling – the adrenaline was pumping and Blue was going so well – I was so proud and thrilled for the owners and the De Kock team . It was a plan come together and a moment I will cherish forever.”

Lucky Man

Why does he consider himself lucky?

“I have been given great opportunities by Mr De Kock and Matt (his son) and the whole team are so motivated and professional. Big race nerves are a reality. But they help me to go out there doing my best. Then there are other trainers that support me – Tara Laing in PE, as one example.

These are top class yards. I also enjoy the support of a

blue-chip sponsor in Avontuur.

Pippa Mickleburgh keeps in touch and encourages me all the time – not every day is a diamond. We have the bad days too, hey! And then my Agent Christopher Santos keeps me busy. My family and friends round off this wonderful support network. You can’t call me anything but lucky!”

Flying High

A former SA and Zimbabwe champion apprentice, Callan flew out to Zim at sparrow on Sunday.

He duly won the Gr3 BSA 2000 on the Sarahdane Stud-bred Fencing Master filly Solinski for Kirk Swanson. At the meeting on 19 March, Callan rode four winners, including on Solinski when she won the 1800m TBA Silver Slipper .

“I enjoy the riding in Zimbabwe. The people are so warm and friendly and the racing is very competitive,” he says proudly.

He arrived back home just before midnight on Sunday.

“It is a long day but hard work never killed anybody according to those that guide and advise me. And I need to establish my name and reputation. The only way to do that is to ride well and work hard.”

He took the day off on Monday to rest in advance of a busy period of work.

We asked what he thought had been the catalyst to his development and improvement over time.

“I would place my Australian trip high on the list. The different environment just opened my eyes. I have a long way to go.

But I think the value of the experience is enormous and has added plenty of value and depth to my outlook. One realises it’s a big world out there and there are many great jockeys.”

Feet On Ground

Callan added that he had learnt plenty of good racing policy and philosophy in a short time from the De Kock yard.

Matthew De Kock often reminds him not to overrate horses or get carried away.

“I am reminded often that there is always a better horse out there. Rather to remain realistic, focus on doing my best and to keep my feet on the ground.”

And what of Heavenly Blue and the immediate future?

“I’d love to ride him in the Derby. That ground is what he is looking for. He is such a laidback character. You may have seen after the race how the elated De Kock team crowded round him.

He loved the attention. He is a true professional – but that’s the name of the game in this team.”

Occam's razor is a problem-solving principle attributed to William of Ockham, who was an English Franciscan friar, scholastic philosopher and theologian.

The principle can be interpreted as stating ‘Among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected.’

Or more simply put, 'the simplest answer is most often correct.”

But of course, often it is not.

T

he recent NHA announcement that they are slashing headcount has come as something of a surprise. While the issue of how our Regulator is funded (by the Operator) has been hotly debated over the years, despite rather obvious signs to the contrary, there has always been strenuous denial that the Operators placed any sort of financial restraint on the NHA.

What the figures say The NHA’s 2016 Annual Report states that Revenue is up 9.3% from 2015-2016. Expenditure is also up, but only 4.4% and while the NHA posted a loss, it was R0.36m for 2016, instead of R6.9m in 2015, so the balance sheet seems to be improving.

Mr Barends has given repeated assurances that he has the full support of the Operators and unlike his predecessors, has had none of the austerity measures of the past imposed on him. So it begs the question, why the drastic cuts?

It is fairly common knowledge that there has not been a permanent NHA representative in Kimberley for a number of years now. I would also venture that our existing Stipes were pretty thinly stretched and that good people are hard to come by. Indeed we saw the excellent Mr McGillivray – specifically drafted in to help improve matters – leave because we could not afford to remunerate him as well as other jurisdictions.

On top of race day duties, there are starting procedures, census checks, identifying horses in their various yards, managing the movement of horses, retirement of horses, processing geldings, changes of ownership, random inspections, sales identification and so on to carry out. The job requires skill in reading races, handling enquiries, dealing with

specimens, inspecting runners on parade, liaising with veterinary staff, members of the media and the public, jockeys, trainers and owners, etc. In short, it is not something one learns overnight.

Indeed, horses are a discipline in which one never stops learning, which is one of the aspects that makes it so damn compelling.

South African Stipes lodge far fewer objections than their international counterparts (for reasons unknown), and while it is an unenviable task at the best of times, there is sufficient noise from punters, jockeys, trainers and owners alike to give the impression that overall the status quo was not considered satisfactory. If the current restructure is indeed, as being stated, an exercise towards greater efficiency and effectiveness, it would seem that we need to INCREASE rather than REDUCE the number of hands on deck.

More numbers However the recent cuts have seen redundancies – which means that those positions are not allowed to be filled by other individuals – and means we will need to cope on the numbers we are left with.

For the sake of clarity, that means 5 Stipes to cover Central Provinces, 4 Stipes for KZN, 3 Stipes for the Western Cape and 3 in the Eastern Cape. According to Mr Barends, “Stipendiary Stewards will focus more on the primary functions of a steward and other functions can be redistributed to other staff and/or part time staff.”

The NHA has also seen fit to do away with investigating officers in each province and we will be reduced to one on a national basis.

Given that we race 364 days out of 365, that seems a pretty big job.

Our handicapping complement has been reduced from 4 to 3.5.

Given that we have approximately 7000 individual runners per season (according to the NHA’s snazzily printed and bound 2016 Annual

11

Report) that leaves around 2000 horses per handicapper. Of course, MR’s need adjusting / reevaluating after every single race and borrowing some (admittedly slightly dated) info from SA Racing Fact Book, it seems we have around 45,000 starters per season. That leaves around 12,800 starts per handicapper.

Lastly, we have lost some of our stud book staff. We reportedly have an annual foal crop of around 3200 foals per year, 2800 mares (this number has to be nonsense given that we appear to have 400 more foals per year than we have mares), 85 stallions, and then add in breeders registrations, name changes, ownership registrations, issuing of passports, etc. I have always found the Stud Book staff to be enormously helpful and friendly, but I know that a number of people do have problems getting paperwork processed.

Why? When quizzed on the changes, Mr Barends stated “These are the changes I've made after a year in the job and therefore having a better understanding of what's required.” While I admire his chutzpah, Mr Barends is, by his own admission, not a racing man, so one would have to assume that these decisions were made with the full support and endorsement of the NHA Board (Andy O’Connor – replaced by Ken Truter as Chair, Lyndon Barends as CEO, Cecil Beyleveld, J J du Toit, Arnold Hyde, Roy Moodley, Rodney Trotter and Jonathan Witts-Hewinson). While these are all perfectly fine gentlemen, I have not seen too many rolling up their sleeves to watch patrol films or shepherd horses around on a race day, so one has to wonder at the practicality behind the decisionmaking and again, the reasoning behind it.

However, there is contingency planning in place and Mr Barends says, “In future we will implement a cadet system (internship) from which we will be able to recruit above average performers.”

While I don’t mean to be awkward, given the fact that the NHA did not exactly receive glowing reports from most quarters with their previous set of staff, is it really credible to expect us to swallow that a cadet system will produce ‘above average performers’? Unless we are going to follow the SA schooling system and simply drop the average to suit our needs….

More numbers To look at these numbers in practice, I reached for my copy of the NHA’s annual report again.

While it is tricky to get a handle on how many horses we have per centre, the report states there are approximately 1600 horses in KZN and around 1300 horses in the Western Cape. Individual figures were not listed for PE, Gauteng and Kimberley, but given that we have around 7000 individual runners per season, I would guess the balance would be spread across the remaining centres. For argument’s sake, let’s divvy the remaining 4000 horses up and allocate 2000 to Gauteng, 1000 to PE and 1000 to Kimberley (these are thumb suck figures, but it’s mainly for the sake of illustration).

This indicates that the Western Cape is allocating 3 stipes for 1300 horses, or 433 horses per Stipe. In KZN we have 1600 horses and 4 Stipes, making approximately 400 horses per Stipe. If we use my projected 2000 horses in Gauteng to their 5 Stipes, again that leaves around 400 horses per Stipe (however, we have not calculated in the fact that these good people also serve Kimberley). We have 3 Stipes to the Eastern Cape at around 1000 horses, these guys have 333 horses each. There is no team for Kimberley, and those horses (and duties) are covered by the Central Provinces team, meaning that they each get an additional 333 horses on top of their existing 400.

We have 150 trainers, 103 assistant trainers, 157 stable employees, 104 jockeys, 14 jockey agents and 22 apprentice jockeys and approximately 2800 owners.

That brings us to a total of around 3350 individuals. With a total of 15 Stipes nationally, that means approximately 223 people per Stipe.

Add on top of that the fact that most staff are split across multiple training centres and factor in things such as flight / travel costs (and the time needed to get around), race day duties, sales duties, pens practice, yard visits and all the paperwork, meetings, phone calls and day to day nonsense and frankly, I’m starting to get a little worried.

A few inconvenient facts It is a fact of life that people go on holiday, take sick leave or personal leave and as we have seen, our NHA top brass also seem to have a large number of international commitments, meaning that someone has to man the fort at home. We also need to factor in

multiple meetings per day, as well as the fact that we are currently in the throes of our feature season in Gauteng with the Durban season just about to get under way.

Some of our major race days have anywhere up to 12 races on the card and if we optimistically assume that these have good sized fields – let’s say 14 runners per race, that’s a total of around 170 horses on a given big feature day which as we have seen with our new Sun Met extravaganza and Champions Day, offer the biggest prize money (and therefore pressure and potential for things to go wrong). Ai karamba.

Green plus Green equals Black & Blue I like to say that most of my life lessons come from horses, so here is another great one that I sadly learnt the hard way from the good old school of hard knocks. It reads ‘Green plus Green equals Black and Blue”. It is usually applied to newbie or ‘green’ horse enthusiasts taking on equally green horses. The result usually means the ‘black and blue’ of bruises – physical as well as bruises to pride and ego.

However, horse people are notoriously stubborn and also notoriously optimistic about their levels of proficiency (we’ve all been there). I found a wonderful article dealing with exactly this situation.

The author wrote, “Without a doubt, I am a green rider. I grew up riding western, and, after a very long break, bought an english saddle and took up jumping about two years ago. Shortly thereafter, I purchased a green horse. If I could go back in time, what would I tell myself? Based on my goals, laid out succinctly in my author bio below, I would say: Run. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Green is not your answer. You want to find a distance? Get a schoolmaster. You want a pretty ribbon? Get a horse who has earned them before. You want to conquer your show anxiety?

You sure aren’t going to do it with a horse who is at her first ever competition. In retrospect it seems obvious.”

Not that it is necessary, but we have been reminded that our industry is under financial pressure.

We cannot afford mistakes. While hindsight is an exact science, foresight is not.

The 2017 KZN champions season themed ‘The Colour Of Magic’ is upon us. Here’s hoping we get to enjoy the full spectrum and that our new efficient and effective NHA team does not restrict us to Black and Blue.

SHORT HEADS

It took Saturday’s Gr3 Caradoc Gold Cup winning trainer Jurgen van Heerden 20 years to pick up his first Graded Stakes success.

The softly spoken 48 year old horseman and property developer only has 7 horses in training. He did his apprenticeship with Alec Laird, and under Garth Puller and Stephen Page in the Hilda Podlas era. He paid tribute to Mike de Kock for being so forthright about the ‘decent horses’ that he sells on the Michael Holmes Sale. “Mike really gives us smaller guys a chance.” Jurgen thanked his long serving workrider Joseph and jockey Andrew Fortune for having put in the hard work on Ilitshe.

“He no longer pulls so hard. Mike said he is an 82 MR horse and that we’d have fun. He has been spot on!”

Jurgen bought the Gr1 placed Anjaal in 2016 in much the same circumstances as Ilitshe. He suggested we keep an eye on the son of Lonhro.

The Gr3 Kings Cup at Greyvilly last Friday was won by Bulleting Home. This was the sixth victory and first stakes-success for the 5yo gelding, who boasts a racingpigeon pedigree. He’s by Western Winter, while his dam Kapen Cat is Western Winter’s half sister, both being offspring of the mare Chilly Hostess. So cool!

Ag Shane!

Milnerton trainer Shane Humby returns to his home province of KZN this week after many years in the Cape.

He celebrated in style when his very last local runner won the last race at Kenilworth on Saturday. Donovan Dillon booted Waywood home for the Super Six Syndicate. Humby will be based at Ashburton, near Pietermaritzburg.

Poles Apart

Team Valor’s Barry Irwin has identified this year's Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and next year's Melbourne Cup as long-term goals for their Irishbred five-year-old Polish Triple Crown winner Va Bank. "We're going to treat him like he's an Arc horse and put him in the right races," Irwin told Thoroughbred Daily News. Va Bank rose to prominence with a ten-race unbeaten streak before suffering the first defeat of his career last October while trying to give 9lb to Polish Derby winner Caccini in defence of his Wielka Warszawska crown.

To Hero A week is a long time in racing. Ask jockey Robert Khathi.

On Saturday 25 March he fell heavily from Mountain Master at his first meeting at the Champ de Mars. He was told he would be off for two months. But he was back riding work on Tuesday 28 March and on Saturday 1 April his 5 rides produced 2 winners and 2 seconds and he won a jockeys championship on the day.

Maine Chance Farms’ resident sire Silvano was represented by his 19th individual Gr1 winner when Mike de Kock’s Orchid Island won Saturday’s G1 WIlgerbosdrift SA Fillies Classic at Turffontein.

Drakenstein Stud stallion Duke Of Marmalade sired his 32nd stakes winner when Flemish Duchesse (4 m ex Fabiana by Ashkalani) won the Listed Preis Des Gestuts Rottgen over a mile at Hoppegarten in Germany on Sunday. The former Coolmore shuttler arrived here in 2014. His stakes successes include 4 Gr1 winners in Simple Verse, Sound Of Freedom, Star Of Seville and Nutan.

The workmanlike champion Horse Of The Year Legal Eagle won Saturday’s HF Oppenheimer Gr1 Horse Chestnut Stakes in style and after his successful defence of his L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate title in January now heads for the Gr1 Premier’s Champions Challenge on 6 May. If he wins that he could be the first horse in half a century to defend 3 Gr1 titles in one season. Sea Cottage was the last in 1967.

Jockey Francois Herholdt turned 43 last month and struck at his first meeting back in SA following a stint with Neil Bruss in Saudi Arabia.

Herholdt rode the outsider Pep Squad to victory in the seventh race on Monday for Clliffie Miller at her first Kimberley outing. At the same meeting, Winning Form sponsored Muzi Yeni and trainer Corrie Lensley were in dazzling form, registering four winners.

Game of The Name

Some love it, others hate it but it is estimated that a quarter of the UK adult population will bet on the Randox Health sponsored Grand National at Aintree on Saturday. Most people will have a small each-way bet on a horse they fancy for no other reason than they like the name. Of course there’s nothing wrong with picking a horse for that reason, as pre-race favourites have a dire record in the race.

The Grand National is famed for its unpredictable nature and rightly so - in the past century five 100/1 shots have triumphed over the famous fences.

for Winx?

Trainer Chris Waller took Australian superstar Winx to Randwick on Saturday to give her a day out ahead of the A$4 million Queen Elizabeth this Saturday for which she is hot favourite to claim her 17th consecutive win.The race day outings have become part of Winx's routine leading up to major races and Waller believes they do as much for the humans around her as the mare herself. Saturday's meeting is the second anniversary of the last time Winx was beaten when second to Gust Of Wind in the Australian Oaks.

Safe Bet

The Elusive Fort filly Safe Harbour was just edged out in a desperate finish to the Gr1 SA Fillies Classic by Orchid Island at Turffontein on Saturday, after suffering similarly narrow seconds in the Gr1 Cape Fillies Guineas and Gr1 Paddock Stakes.

She has earned stakes of over R2.36 mil from a succession of sterling efforts – great value on her R180k price tag at the CTS RTR Sale in 2015. Safe Harbour has a sibling (#31) from Highlands Stud at the upcoming Jhb Select Yearling Sale.

Inglis’ Newmarket sales complex in Sydney will host the Australian Easter Yearling Sale for the final time, with the first of three days of selling having gotten underway on Tuesday this week. While the new complex at a new greenfield site at Warwick Farm will obviously be more modern and comfortable, visitors will no doubt miss the convenience of Newmarket in terms of its proximity to Sydney and the airport and harbour.

Lezeanne Forbes

This Lady’s Not For Trying to make it in a man’s world is never easy, but as they say, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, except backwards and in high heels. Training is a tough game in anyone’s book and Lezeanne Forbes was tested early in her career with some unexpected publicity. However, she proved her credentials by staying cool under pressure and having a good dose of humour to boot and the Summerveld lady trainer has gone from strength to strength.

L

ezeanne had a fascination for horses for as long as she can remember. “A lot of people said it would just be a phase, but here we are.”

Interestingly, Lezeanne’s racing career started via the movie industry, thanks to working on the film set of Racing Stripes. “I ended up working for Yvette Bremner so that I could learn to ride work for the movie and that’s where the first connection with racehorses started. After the movie, I went back and did more work with Yvette and it was through her that I developed a love not just for the horses, but for the sport.”

Lezeanne then spent 2 years working for Anthony Cummings at Royal Randwick in Australia. “It gave me the opportunity to work with some really smart horses. Anthony trained a lot of graded winners while I was there and I got to ride them and feel what a good horse feels like. They have the most beautiful tracks and facilities and a different class of horse to what I was used to working with here in PE. I learnt a lot.”

Back in South Africa, she re-joined the Bremner yard, while also running her own spelling farm. “It worked out well as a lot of Yvette’s overflow went there for little breaks. I also had a couple of mares that I bred and boarded a few mares that I foaled down. It was nice to experience all those aspects.” It was also during this stint that she met her husband, jockey Alec Forbes and eventually relocated to Durban to be with him.

Taking the plunge Lezeanne joined Corinne Bestel as an assistant, moving on to Deon Visser and then Alyson Wright. “When I left Deon, I was already starting to get the idea that I might want to be a trainer, but it’s a very big leap. When you’re working for someone else you have the security of being employed.

Going out and doing it on your own is tough. I was with the Wrights for 9 months, but then I felt it was time to take the leap, so I did and that’s how we started.”

Lezeanne took out her license in September 2013 and saddled her first runner on 19 January 2014.

Getting started Lezeanne has received staunch support from her family, repaying her father, Chris Fenwick, in particular with a Father’s Day double (also the first

that’s the part that makes the job for me. We all love winning, but sometimes you run third and it can feel like winning because you know how much the horse put in and what it took to get there – that is why I get up in the morning – to do that part.”

What aspect does she find the hardest? “The most difficult part, double for the yard) in 2015. “My dad or the part I hate the most?

Are Hermana to when we there left PE sent me one of challenges being a lady trainer?

She I don’t think being female raced half and Dad had half and now I’ve got the little sister as well, which gives you any advantage or disadvantage. There are a few is fun.” basic guidelines, but every person “I went to the Shongweni sale, has a style or something unique bought a few horses for R5000 each to them and we all bring our own and put those together with new people elements to it who’d never had horses with me. At a n y w a y. that price, it was easier to get people to give me a chance. I also bought a package deal including Bermuda and Nitro Nori. Bermuda was the first winner I trained (1 February 2014) and we’ve been building from there slowly, but surely.”

Why training?

“You do it because it’s your passion and can’t ever imagine not doing it,” she says matter of factly. “You’ve got to make a living, so money does come into it, but making money is almost a good consequence of the work you do, not the reason you do it.”

“You need to be able to withstand all the heartache, stress and difficulties that come with it, but as they say, nothing worthwhile is ever easy. There are difficult hours and very early mornings, you’ve got the horses and all their problems, plus issues like managing grooms and looking after owners. There is a LOT you have to cope with and if you don’t have a passion for it, you’re not going to make it, so I know every trainer out there really loves what they do.”

“I absolutely love working with my horses and the one on one relationship you end up building with them. Riding them, feeding them, watching them go to races and try their hearts out –

We have female farriers and quite a few other lady trainers in Durban so it’s not such a novelty and I came from working for a lady trainer in PE. Yvette Bremner is always in the top 3 there, travels to Durban and runs very good races with PE horses, so it’s not something I worry about or feel has much effect.”

Being a jockey’s wife Does being a trainer help or make it harder being a jockey’s wife? “I’m a rider as well, I ride a lot of work and have ridden in some of the work riders’ races, so I understand the dangers and difficulties. Initially I used to worry a lot about Alec, but you just can’t keep worrying. If there’s a horse he’s riding on the day that I know is particularly difficult, then I can get stressed, but the best way is to try not to think about it. It’s out of my control anyway.”

“As far as our working relationship is concerned, our jobs are very separate. Alec doesn’t interfere with my decisions, but he is a very experienced jockey and gives very good feedback – the same as he does for every other trainer he works for – and good feedback helps me make good decisions for that horse.”

In terms of the work-life balance, being half of a racing partnership does have its perks. “One of the biggest bonuses is that we are both getting up at 3 in the morning and are both absolutely exhausted come 11am. We both go night racing, so we understand exactly where the other person is and can support each other 100%.

The working hours do make it difficult to have a family life though. Our son is one now and he’s had to fit in with our lifestyle and gets up with us at 3am, but he adjusts and gets to spend a lot of time with us. My job takes up 85% of my life, my child the other 15% and now and then I have to

try and fit in my husband! It’s not easy, but you all adjust and you do what you have to do to make things work.”

No such thing as bad press Early in her career, Lezeanne was famously singled out for a mention by fellow trainer, Joey Ramsden in his weekly column. “I was very impressed that I was important enough for him to mention me!” she laughs. “I met him while working for Yvette as a teenager and sat across the table from him at a function once, so thought it was quite flattering that he felt inspired to write about me 10 years down the line!” she quips.

“But that article and the backward and forward between us gave me so much publicity that to this day I am grateful for it. Although people knew me in racing, it was either as an assistant or as Alec’s wife, but after that EVERYBODY knew who I was! So if nothing else, it was a good publicity stunt and we had a good laugh about it,” she says good-naturedly.

The Journey So Far Lezeanne is based in the new section at Summerveld and after her little push-start, has progressed to having 38 boxes. “Our most fun horse at the moment and probably overall so far has to be Royal Armour.

He was not an expensive buy. He went through the ring unsold and I bought him from the breeder afterwards and he’s done very well for us. He’s won 7 for me, plus the non black type Fever Tree in February and he’s just run second in the Gr3 King’s Cup. He’s enormously fun, has a divine temperament and has been a wonderful horse to work with.”

Ambitions “We all have goals and I think we all dream big. If you don’t, you’re never going to get anywhere,” she says thoughtfully. “I set goals for myself every season, such as the number of winners I’m working towards. I don’t just look to see what I can do or a goal that I may accomplish – I try to shoot a little higher and push a little harder. We all want to win a Gr1 and then we don’t just want to win one, but I’m not thinking abroad yet, put it that way,” she laughs. “I’m happy in South Africa and we’re very spoilt in Durban to have a wonderful feature season filled with races for horses of all ages and distances. Every year I’ve got better quality horses coming through the yard and this season I might have one that will win a feature, but you can’t count your chickens.

Especially with young horses, things can go pear-shaped, but I’ve got one that looks decent and if all goes well, we’ll run in the features this season and hope for the best.”

NHA Restructure

Barends Slashes Headcount Following recent news that the NHA were effecting drastic staff cuts during the month of March 2017, we contacted CEO Lyndon Barends for comment.

“YES THAT'S TRUE,” he confirmed. “This was a rightsizing exercise towards greater efficiency and effectiveness.”

Changes have been made in the Handicapping, Investigators, Stipendiary Stewards and Stud Book departments as set out below.

Lyndon Barends

Handicapping.

Mr Barends stated that “There is no need for our group of runners to have 4 handicappers.” With the Voluntary Retrenchment of Cape handicapper Ken Nicol, the national handicapping complement has been reduced from 4 to 3. Going forward, our national handicapping team will comprise Roger Smith in Johannesburg and Matthew Lips in Durban.

Durban-based Lennon Maharaj will be relocated to Johannesburg and split his time between handicapping and Stipendiary Steward duties.

Investigators.

Mr Barends said, “Our stipendiary stewards should do more investigations, but reviewing our investigations over the last three years there is no need for each province to have an investigator. One senior investigator can plan his trips around the county to do his unannounced visits to training centers.”

Stipendiary Stewards.

Mr Barends stated that, “Going forward, our Stipendiary Stewards will focus more on the primary functions of a steward and other functions can be redistributed to other staff and/or part time staff.”

3.1 Central Provinces have been reduced from 7 to 5 Stipes. Stipendiary Steward Gavin Foxcroft has accepted Voluntary Retrenchment and will now take up a position as Assistant Starter in KZN with effect from 1 May 2017. Stipendiary Steward Garett Timm accepted Voluntary Retrenchment and will take up the position of Assistant Starter in the Central Provinces, effective 1 April 2017. Stipendiary Steward Walter Mroro has also accepted Voluntary retrenchment.

3.2 Kwazulu-Natal has seen its five Stipendiary Stewards reduced to four, with Stephen Arendse accepting Voluntary Retrenchment.

3.3 The Western Cape has seen its five Stipendiary Stewards reduced to three with Tarquin Norval and Steve Naude accepting Voluntary Retrenchment.

3.4 The Eastern Cape will remain as it is with three Stewards.

4. Stud Book - Lisa McPherson and Izelle Venter are no longer with the NHA and have been replaced by Durban’s Jayshree Naidoo who will be taking up the position of Manager.

Mr Barends concluded, “These are the changes I have made after a year in the job and therefore having a better understanding of what's required. In future we will implement a cadet system (internship) from which we will be able to recruit above average performers.”

Ken Nicol

NHA Cuts WC Handicapper Following the loss of Tarquin Norval and Steve Naude to the Western Cape ranks, the latest NHA official to vacate his post is Cape Town handicapper, Ken Nicol who handed in his badge on Friday, 31 March 2017.

Owner’s Interests

On The Agenda A ‘beneficial meeting conducted in good spirit’ was held between Gold Circle and KZN’s Independent Owner’s Association (IOA) recently.

The IOA was recently founded by KZN owner Brian ‘Buffalo Bill’ Burnard. The current IOA Board consists of three Directors - Brian Burnard, Daryll Marescia and Mayesh Chetty.

The well-being of the industry aand all involved in it was the focus of both parties at the meeting and a few important issues were raised with that in mind.

The possibility of introducing a central billing system was discussed. The aim of this initiative would be to eradicate the non-payment of training fees by rogue owners and to ensure that Trainers accounts would be up to date.

The former occurrence has had a negative effect on a few KZN training yards and repercussions have been felt further afield.

The introduction of a ‘Training Contract’ between Trainer and Owner that would ensure the ‘eradication of the current ambiguities that exist’, was also discussed.

Stakes increases and how they would be implemented was brought to the table. The IOA highlighted the fact that the percentage figure of average stakes money earned per horse compared to the cost of keeping a horse in training had been dropping.

The possible implementation of a minimum training fee was also discussed with the wellbeing of Trainers in mind.

A few KZN yards have been feeling the pinch in the current economic climate.

The IOA calculated a fee which incorporated the minimum amount required to cover all costs of keeping a horse in training as well as enabling a Trainer to make a living. The IOA are in the process of asking their members to pay at least this minimum fee.

The IOA Board reiterated that prior to any agreements being made on any matters, it would first consult with its Members for their approval, or disapproval. Upon the IOA receiving the official position of Gold Circle pertaining to any issue or issues, it would convene a Members meeting.

Both Gold Circle and the IOA said they wished to quash a rumour doing the rounds in the racing industry that the IOA were intent on a ‘take over’ of Gold Circle.

In fact the IOA have been granted office space at Greyville from which to operate, signalling the intent from both parties to induce industry progress transparently and in harmony.

In light of the above, both parties appealed to the public at large, and the Racing Fraternity in particular, to take no notice of statements made, unless officially made by the IOA or Gold Circle. - www.goldcircle.co.za

The false rail spur was at the 700m. The filming was poor prior to switching to the camera that shows the pole.

The angle was so tight onto the top of the runners in parts, and then showing them from behind. As a result the pole never became visible in the SA Classic as they changed cameras much later than usual.

The influence of Sadler’s Wells stallion El Prado was felt globally last week.

T

His son Medaglia D’Oro joined an elite band of stallions with 100 stakes winners, while El Prado himself featured as broodmare sire of Gr1 SA Classic winner Heavenly Blue.

hat was the seventh Gr1 winner produced by a daughter of El Prado, who also shows up in Kentucky Oaks winner Believe You Can (Proud Citizen) and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf winner Outstrip (Exceed And Excel). The latter is bred on a similar cross to Heavenly Blue, being by a Danehill line sire out of an El Prado mare.

Heavenly Blue, the first Gr1 winner in South Africa for his sire Snitzel (Redoute’s Choice), is the latest Gr1 winner bred on the Danehill/ Sadler’s Wells cross. This combination can be found in Irish Oaks (and 3 other Gr1’s) winner Peeping Fawn, English 1000 Guineas winner (and 2 other Gr1’s) Legatissimo, Epsom Oaks winner (from Legatissimo) Qualify, last season’s Gr1 winning 2yos Rivet and Intricately, Horatio Nelson, five time Gr1 winner Flintshire, and multiple Gr1 winning filly The Fugue.

In South Africa the winner of the Gr3 Caradoc Gold Cup, Ilitshe, is by Fastnet Rock (Danehill) out of a Sadler’s Wells mare.

El Prado achieved success as a sire against the odds – he was an Irish Champion 2yo who failed to train on, then spent his entire stud career in North America where turf horses traditionally attract less attention. A son of two Irish classic winners, he was by Sadler’s Wells out of Irish 1000 Guineas winner Lady Capulet (who landed her classic on debut). The latter was a daughter of Epsom Derby winner Sir Ivor, and three- parts sister to the undefeated Drone (Sir Gaylord). That may explain why El Prado was taken to the USA, as Drone was successful sire and broodmare sire (in the latter category of Kentucky Derby winners Charismatic and Grindstone).

Interestingly, El Prado’s Gr1 winning daughter Asi Siempre is out of the mare

Turkish Treasure, who is a 3-part sister to El Prado’s dam Lady Capulet. That makes for a 2x2 cross to the close relatives in Asi Siempre, who became the dam of Gr1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf winner Outstrip (Exceed And Excel, by Danehill).

Despite the bias against turf horses, and having to cover relatively ordinary mares early in his stud career, El Prado sired more than 80 stakes winners. He headed the US General Sires List in 2002. El Prado is influential especially through his sons Medaglia D’Oro and Kitten’s Joy. In contrast to El Prado, whose eight Gr1 winners include six males, Medaglia D’Oro has built a reputation for himself as an outstanding sire of fillies. His daughters include champions Rachel Alexandra and Songbird, Breeders’ Cup winner New Money Honey, and Kentucky Oaks winner Plum Pretty. As broodmare sire he can be found in Gr1 winners Rachel’s Valentina (Bernardini) and Rock Fall (Speightstown).

Medaglia D’Oro’s 16 Gr1 winners include Gr1 Golden Slipper winner Vancouver (now a sire), but he’s yet to be represented by a male as good as Rachel Alexandra or Songbird.

Kitten’s Joy, who is from the female line

of multiple champion and US Horse of the Year Spectacular Bid, was US champion sire in 2013. An outstanding turf performer in North America (he was Champion Turf Male in 2004), Kitten’s Joy sired Breeders’ Cup winners Stephanie’s Kitten, Bobby’s Kitten and Oscar Performance. He also enjoyed success as a sire in Europe, with Gr1 Coral Eclipse winner Hawkbill. Kitten’s Joy currently heads the US Turf Sires list once again.

El Prado has another Gr1 sire son, Artie Schiller (a half-brother to SA’s Broodmare Of The Year Our Table Mountain and sire of useful SA 3yo Our Mate Art). While not in the same class as Medaglia D’Oro or Kitten’s Joy as a sire, he has four Gr1 winners to his credit, including new sire-son Flying Artie.

In terms of statistics, Medaglia D’Oro sired 7% stakes winners to foals, the same as Kitten’s Joy. Both are sires of sires, with Medaglia D’Oro officially represented by 21 individual sire sons in the Blood-Horse stallion list!

With El Prado & sons in the USA (and Australia) and Galileo in Europe, the Sadler’s Wells sire-line influence is set to last for decades.

Strong Start Summerhill Stud The Tiger Is Up & Running to Easter Sale of Yearling Sale Mares & Weanlings New Sire Off The Mark – BLUE TIGER

An energetic and diverse buying bench, mixed with an exceptionally strong catalogue, has resulted in a powerful opening session of the 2017 Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

On a nostalgic day at Newmarket for the last ever Easter Sale at the iconic venue before the company moves to Riverside Stables at Warwick Farm, results showed the market was strong and both buyers and vendors were getting healthy results.

Statistically, Day 1 ended with an Average of $347,045, a Median of $300,000, Gross of $38,175,000 and a clearance rate at a healthy 80%.

Day 1’s leading vendor by aggregate was Bhima Thoroughbreds ($3,130,000 from eight sales) and by average was Segenhoe Stud ($726,250 from four sales) while the leading buyer by Lots purchased was Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott (six Lots) and by aggregate was James Harron Bloodstock ($3,400,000 from three purchases).

The leading sire by aggregate was Snitzel ($5,490,000 from 14 sales) and by average (with three or more sold) was I Am Invincible at $622,000.

It has been a quiet start for Counter Action stallion Blue Tiger but Riverton Stud’s Duncan Barry hopes that the magnificent grey flyer’s first winner on Monday will reignite some interest in the well performed racehorse.

“We have had a little bit of bad luck along the way – none of his making – and Blue Tiger really has had limited opportunity to prove himself,” says Duncan Barry, who bred his first Gr1 winner almost a quarter of a century ago from the beautiful farm.

Barry is proud of Riverton’s stakes producing track record and congratulated the connections of Bia’s Blue Eye who broke her maiden at her eighth start on Monday.

A 2015 Val De Vie Yearling sale graduate, with a unique blue eye, she is out of the Roy mare Necochea and was purchased by the Sport City Trust for R40 000.

Described by veteran champion trainer Mike Bass as the best horse he trained who never won a Gr1, Blue Tiger was a top class racehorse who earned over R1.3 million in stakes from 2 to 6.

A versatile athlete, he won or placed in 19 stakes races including the Gr1 Cape Flying Championship three times, Gr1 Gold Challenge, Gr1 Golden Horse Sprint twice and Gr1 Champions Cup. Very closely related to the record breaking Gr1 Queen’s Plate winner Wainui, Blue Tiger is also from the powerful Bold Ruler male line, which has done well in South Africa through the likes of Jungle Cove and Plum Bold, and, in recent times, Jay Peg and Judpot.

Duncan Barry has invited interested owners of mares and breeders to contact him on 023 -626 4309 or info@rivertonstud.co.za

LEADING SIRE of 2yo’s LEADING SIRE of 2yo’s by stakes*

by INDIVIDUAL WINNERS

EVER SINCE they announced their intention to reduce their numbers, there has been much speculation as to when and what form the Summerhill sale of breeding stock would take. It’s now official: the sale will be held on Sunday, 14th May in the School Of Excellence at the farm.

In his statement this morning, Business Manager, Ferdi Heinen said that in his recollection, there had not been a sale of this depth and quality in twenty years, when the two July heroines Devon Air and Tecla Bluff, as well as the dams of Jet Master, Royal Chalice, Promisefrommyheart and Covenant were sold at Summerhill.

“The timing of the sale represents a convergence between the maturation of our old partnerships which in some cases date back 30 years, and the owner’s intention to make space for their other projects. Clearly in this day and age, it is a rare opportunity to acquire the stock of a farm that has been at the head of the national breeding scene for much of the first two decades of the new century.”

According to Bloodstock Manager Tarryn Liebenberg, the catalogue of 106 mares includes 40 Black-type winners, performers or Stakes producers and 74 siblings to Stakes horses. And for the first time in years, there is a weanling entry of 80.

“Out of respect to our good friends at Backworth Stud, the catalogue will only be published online after their sale next week.

We’ll keep the public informed in that regard”, added Heinen.

G ATIN SPEED R WON 72/10

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

From Africa To Varallo Scottsville 26 March Five of the nine races in Pietermaritzburg on Sunday were run over 1200m and narrowly the quickest home in these was TRIPPI’S GIRL when winning the MR79 Handicap. She was a little slow into stride when the gates opened, but in what was a very tightly bunched field throughout, she was always well positioned to strike. She ran on strongly at the business end of the race and comfortably accounted for the easy to back TIMEOUS by a length and a half.

Run in a time just 6/100th of a second slower than that of Trippi’s Girl was the opening Juvenile Plate over 1200m and here we saw a smart performance from VARALLO. Sent off a strong favourite at 12/10, the son of Var was soon up handy.

Racing green, Varallo ducked sharply 300m out, but once realising what was expected of him he quickened well, and went on to score in good style by two and three quarters.

Another to win with authority in the soft underfoot conditions on this card was SPEED OF AFRICA when opening his account in the maiden plate over 1750m. Drawn wide on his return from a nine month layoff here, Dean Kannemeyer’s charge raced in midfield for most of the journey. He quickened best of all in the straight and after striking the front 100m from home, won going away by a length and three quarters.

TITBITS

The friendless newcomer CRYMEARIVER ran on well from towards the rear when winning the slowly run girls’ division of the juvenile plate over 1200m.

SINGH IS KING came from the rear when winning the MR69 Handicap over Horses worth following at their next few starts...

1400m going away by JUAN TWO THREE (A Greeff, E-Cape) three and a quarter.

Still Going Strong

8 From 15 Fairview 27 March The highlight in Port Elizabeth on Monday was the non-black type East Cape Poly Challenge and in what not surprisingly proved to be the fastest of the three 1200m races, we saw a smart performance from the best weighted runner in the field JUAN TWO THREE. Sent off a strong favourite at even money, Alan Greeff’s charge made all. He led by just a half for most of the trip before drawing clear over the final 400m to score by four and a quarter. Juan Two Three has now won eight of his fifteen career starts.

Four of the afternoon’s eight races were staged over 1900m and stopping the clock in the fastest time amongst these was PIRANGI when landing the Conditions Plate. Easy to back at 8/1 on the off, Alan Greeff’s charge was soon up handy. She was ridden to lead approaching the 200m marker and although CRACKPOT ran on strongly in the closing stages of the race, she did have that one held by three quarters at the wire. Beaten just a length, third placed ONE LOVE was finishing best of all in this race.

The one remaining race was a MR72 Handicap over 1600m and here victory went to JUDD’S JOY. Nibbled at on course into 8/1 from 12’s, the 5yo son of Judpot and was always in touch with the leaders. He quickened well at the top of the short home straight and with some in hand he beat the running on OFF TO GAUL by a length.

TITBITS Now 36 points below that of his former best, the once very highly regarded RAKE’S CHESTNUT had to give his all in order to scrape home in the graduation plate over 1900m.

Vaal 28 March They raced on the inside track on Tuesday where four of the eight races were run over 1000m. A MR91 Handicap topped the bill and in what proved to be the fastest of these the 6yo GREASEPAINT registered his eighth career victory. Sent off second in the betting market at 5/2, the top weight was soon positioned close to the speed. He ran on stoutly at the business end of the race and with the rest some three lengths adrift, he got the better of a thrilling tussle with the 3yo GIMMETHEMONEY by a neck.

The faster of the two 1475m races was the MR72 Handicap won by the 18/10 favourite DON CHRISTO. Despite being a little troublesome at the start, Scott Kenny’s charge was soon up handy. His stable companion VULCAN was the first to make a move and struck the front going through the 400m. The son of Kahal quickened nicely when given rein though, and under a well-judged ride from Gavin Lerena, he got up late to score by a half.

They also ran two races over 1800m and quickest home here was PORCUPINE CREEK when completing a double over the distance in the MR70 Handicap. A winner in the maiden ranks at Turffontein last time out, the King Of Kings gelding was always handy. He ran on strongly over the final 400m and in a race where just 0,35 lengths separated the first four home, he got the verdict by the narrowest of TOP SPEED RATINGS margins. for this WEEKEND TITBITS Somewhat surprisingly, trainer Grant Maroun saddled seven of the nine runners in the maiden plate over 1000m at this meeting. And yes, he did win the race.

Almost Rounded Up Kenilworth 29 March A maiden plate over 1000m got proceedings underway in Cape Town on Wednesday and here we saw a comfortable victory for the 3/1 second favourite REGAL RUBY. Taken straight to the front

by MJ Byleveld, the daughter of Rebel King led throughout. She kept on strongly at the business end of the race and comfortably accounted for the 2/1 favourite LILY THERESA by a length and three quarters.

There were three races run over 1000m in total and the fastest of these was the MR72 Handicap won by HEREFORD. Always handy, Greg Ennion’s charge put his head in front 60m out and just had enough in hand to beat the rapidly gaining CARDINAL CALL by a neck.

The faster of the two 1400m races was the MR72 Handicap in which SILVER MASTER gained a second win. Easy to back at 7/1 on the off, the son of Silvano raced in midfield for most of the journey. He quickened well in the straight and under a well-judged ride from Aldo Domeyer he got up late to score by a neck.

TITBITS Nibbled at WHY WOULDN’T YEW made all when winning the maiden juvenile plate over 1200m with some in hand.

The 3yo GEOGRAPHE BAY ran on well from midfield when getting up late to win the MR76 Handicap over 1000m.

Back In A Jiffy Turffontein 30 March Thursday’s action took place on the inner track where five of the nine races were staged over 1200m. The 6yo BARBEL RUN was the quickest home in these when winning the MR80 Handicap. Now a winner of 6 from 44, Alec Laird’s charge was always handy. He ran on strongly in the short home straight and just got the better of the steadily gaining GOLDEN MAN (came from the rear).

A MR88 Handicap topped the bill and in what proved to be the faster of the two 1450m events it was nice to see the talented JIFFY back in the winner’s enclosure. Unbeaten in three starts as a 2yo last season, the A P Arrow gelding had been finding it tough taking on strong company as a 3yo. Dropping a little in class here though, Erico

Verdonese’s charge was always handy, and won going away after taking up the running 200m out.

In terms of distance the easiest victory on the card was recorded by SEATTLE TANGO when getting off the mark in the maiden plate for the girls over 1450m. She got away well when the gates opened and taken straight to the front by Lyle Hewitson, led throughout. She led by two coming off the strip and more than doubled her advantage on the run to the line.
