SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 14th - SUNDAY 16th APRIL 2017

NEVER MIND THE DOWNGRADE… AFRICA IS RISING. Did you see that? Because if you didn’t, you should have been at Greyville on Sunday when Africa Rising came home hands-and-heels in the Byerley Turk (Gr.3). It wasn’t that he won, it was the way he did it and what he beat. Runner-up Copper Force was second on his last start to SA’s highest-rated 3yo, William Longsword.

Africa Rising was Summerhill’s seventh Black type performer by Visionaire, currently ranked third and fifth respectively amongst sires of 3yos by % winners and AEPR.

10 & 16 LOTS @ Yearling Sa les in April/May

PAULINE HERMAN

The 8yo Jet Explorer is the class horse in a tricky race

EAST CAPE POLY CHALLENGE at Fairview this Friday

F

The second leg of the East Cape Poly Challenge takes pride of place on a low-key Easter long weekend racing programme.

The Fairview non black-type feature gives recently returned globetrotting jockey Bernard Fayd’herbe an excellent opportunity to get back to winning ways.

ayd’herbe, who has been living out of a suitcase for 9 months on the road, with stints in Mauritius and Dubai, partners the high-quality Jet Master gelding Jet Explorer for Justin Snaith.

The class in the race, the former major centre Gr2 winner Jet Explorer comes out marginally atop the mare Peach Delight in the SP ratings and looks very ready to win again – that is if he turns up sound.

Now an 8yo, he is no spring chicken and was reported not striding out when slightly below par on the turf at his last run.

While his peak ratings have been achieved on the turf, he has shown an adaptability and liking for the poly and this could be the race to give him his ninth career success.

The weights in this event are framed on merit rating ranges and Yvette Bremner’s consistent Greys Inn mare Peach Delight gets a useful 3kg sex allowance, which brings her strongly into contention.

The former Dean Kannemeyer charge scored a well-deserved first local win last time against her own sex, but was not disgraced when mixing it with the boys and running

a decent 1,50 lengths off Ochoncar over the course and distance in November.

She is a half kilo better off with the Greeff runner here – which on paper suggests she could be held again – but that was her first run in this province and she is now more settled – and a lot fitter.

Versatile The evergreen Tara Laing galloper Sir Duke has won ten races, and is always thereabouts – irrespective of surface and distance.

While well beaten by Juan Two Three in the first leg of this series, he was running on steadily and at the age of 6 may have lost a margin of his pace.

The son of Trippi gets the services of Callan Murray and looks fit and ready to win again over the 200m extra.

Former Cape-based soldier Blarney Bay has his fourth run here for Sharon Kotzen and is the type of horse that can never be left out.

The son of Nysaean received a kilo when beating Jet Explorer on the turf at his opener in the Eastern Cape.

The two meet at level weights here and with Blarney Bay’s only

poly outing (an 8,25 length finish to Juan Two Three) telling us little over a distance short of his best, it would make no sense to discard him as an unlikely challenger.

He needs to be included.

Course and distance winner Ochoncar has drawn wide and may have found the 1200m of the first leg on the short side when finishing 7,25 lengths off Juan Two Three.

He looks easily held by the versatile Sir Duke on that run, but if we go back to November, it is worth noting for upset consideration that Ochoncar conquered poly king Gogetthesheriff over Friday’s trip.

Battling The second of the Bremner runners, Cruzcampo appears to be struggling for his fourth win.

That said, he pulls a pole draw here and has been close enough – without really threatening – at his last few outings to suggest that he could burgle a prize if the dice rolls his way.

The enigmatic Kiss Me Hardy appears to have lost interest in racing since beating Sir Duke on this surface over 100m shorter six months ago.

He cannot be fancied on his recent performance – and his career peak MR of 113 (versus his present mark of 82) looks a lifetime away right now.

Dorrie Sham’s Notting Hill drops in distance after finding his feet over some ground.

The son of Horse Chestnut is very effective on the surface – as he showed when beating the very decent Master James on the poly mile at his penultimate - and could be staying on late for minor money.

Opener The former KZN-based Charles Laird charge Thirtytwo Squadron has his first run in PE. The son of A P Arrow has won some fair races but his recent form is not inspiring and he would ideally be looking for slightly further.

Rebel House is the second of the Tara Laing duo.

This well-drawn Rebel King gelding caught the eye at his last run when beating the stakes performed Kingvoldt on the turf 1400m in a quality line-up. The 6yo can go on this surface too and will strip fit with place prospects at bestr.

Shine Like A Star has failed to build on his early promise and while it is difficult discarding the Smith-van der Merwe combination,

we would like to see a little more commitment from the Miesque’s Approval gelding.

The potentially awkwardly named For Luck Sake is very moderate and even with a paperweight of 48kgs looks hard-pressed to assert himself in this company. His one and only win was achieved a few months short of two years ago. Uninspiring is the only word that comes to mind.

Class Mare A tricky race on a tricky Friday card! Class and reliability suggest that Jet Explorer, Peach Delight and the gutsy Sir Duke are the three to side with.

There should be little to choose between the three, with a slight preference for the mare.

Lotsa Lolly On The Poly The Alan Greeff trained Juan Two Three won the first leg, a 1200m sprint, of the second edition of the R600 000 Eastern Cape Poly Challenge but he does not run in Friday’s second leg. Thus the Poly ‘Triple Crown’ bonus of R250 000 will not be paid this year.

A consolation bonus of R50 000, won last year by Jacques Strydom’s Gogetthesheriff, is still up for grabs though and points will be allocated over the three legs. Sir Duke, who runs on Friday, finished second to Juan Two Three in the first leg, and leads the table in the 12 horse field.

A condition for consideration to qualify to win the consolation bonus is that horses must participate in all 3 legs and win at least one of them.

The Poly Challenge provides a great opportunity for horses suited to South Africa’s most newly introduced racing surface and it also provides a more distinct platform for horses vying to be named The Eastern Cape’s Polytrack Horse Of The Year. The third leg of the challenge is the R100 000 WSB East Cape Poly Challenge 1600 (NonBlack Type) run over 1600m at Fairview on Friday 12 May.

Gr3 UMZIMKHULU STAKES Greyville last Sunday

Gr3 BYERLEY TURK Greyville last Sunday

T

The Tarry factor came into play at Greyville when the very smart Visionaire colt Africa Rising finished too strongly for his eleven opponents to win the Gr3 Byerley Turk.

he withdrawal of the boom local hope Red Chesnut Road took a bit of lustre off the race and Justin Snaith must have felt that a feature double was on the cards after his Umzimkhulu Stakes success with the consistent Copper Force going off a 16-10 favourite.

But the Avontuur-sponsored Lyle Hewitson had other ideas, when he produced Africa Rising, who had only arrived from Gauteng the previous evening, with a sustained rattle late in the race.

After My Pal Al had made an honest pace for much of the race, Africa Rising (22-10) stalked Copper Force (16-10) the whole way round into the straight.

Copper Force kicked well at the 350m and it looked tight for Africa Rising, who was directly behind him.

A small gap opened on the rail at about the 200m marker though and Hewitson rode the Visionaire colt with the hands to finish

Apprentice Lyle Hewitson steers Africa Rising to a smooth win powerfully down the rail to hold Copper Force to 0,75 lengths in a time of 87,05 secs – the fillies ran it in 87,45 secs.

Copper Force, who had been declared 90% fit by his trainer, just lacked punch late and will strip a fitter horse next time he races.

Buffalo Soldier came from some way back on the wide outside and showed nice resolve a further two lengths back.

Kenny Trix was always thereabouts and stayed on gamely for fourth.

Pacesetter My Pal Al (14,05 lengths) faded out badly.

Africa Rising was acquired by Chris van Niekerk’s Rainbow Beach Trading for R625K at the CTS Johannesburg Ready To Run Sale.

He has won 3 races with 3 places from 8 starts for stakes of R905 750.

Bred by Summerhill Stud, he is a first stakes winner of his sex for the now Lammerskraalbased Visionaire out of the once winning Braashee mare, Sucha Looka.

Africa Rising, a Gr1 placed 2yo, was considered good enough to contest the Cape Guineas.

He was not disgraced when just over 4 lengths off William Longsword there and could well realise his potential this season.

Snaith On The Mark

S

Justin Snaith struck feature gold for the second week running in KZN when his Gimmethegreenlight filly Gimme Six achieved her season mission when getting up late to win the R250 000 Gr3 Umzimkhulu Stakes at Greyville

naith had the fiery hot Jo’s Bond tuned to the minute when achieving her goal at Scottsville a week earlier and it was much the same tune played by Gimme Six, who had been declared race ready by the astute conditioner.

Going off at 4-1, Gimme Six was strongly favoured and the result would play out much to form in the eleven horse field, with the top three in the betting filling the trifecta.

Anthony Delpech had Gimme Six settled in midfield as La Gitanila led Karatage and Final Judgement for home.

Riding an aggressive race

confidently, Richard Fourie brought Final Judgement around her field as she and Sail hit the front at the 350m to do battle.

With both the top two appearing to hamper each other, the real action was down the inside as Delpech brought Gimme Six with a sustained run and clear of any traffic.

The Snaith’s Gimme Six showed the advantage of improved fitness and got up close home to beat Final Judgement by 0,75 lengths in a time of 87,45 secs.

Despite shifting about a bit, the Gr2 Golden Slipper winner Final Judgement ran a cracker after her 10 week

Anthony Delpech sends Gimme Six at the right moment break following her good fourth in the Majorca Stakes.

She should pay to follow.

Sail, who had run just behind Final Judgement in the Majorca, was a half length away in third, while Dawn Calling looked dangerous but battled to get past the top three.

Snaith was complimentary about the Delpech ride – “Young jockeys should watch this race – it’s a lesson in how to overcome a bad draw.”

A R500 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 graduate, Gimme Six has won 3 races with 4 places from 8 starts and stakes of R322 100.

The partnership that bred the winner comprises NHA Chairman Ken Truter, Hemel ‘N Aarde Stud and Nadeson Park Stud.

She is a sixth stakes winner for in-form young sire Gimmethegreenlight out of the twice winning Mujadil mare, District Six – a winner in Ireland and SA. Delpech said he was sure that Gimme Six had a Gr1 win in her this season. So she is a blackbooker!

EAST CAPE NURSERY (L) Fairview last Friday

Stakes Success For What A Winter he exceptional racehorse, whose 15 career wins included four Gr1 successes, is currently South Africa’s Leading First Crop Sire by winners and stakes.

His son Fort Winter, trained

by Yvette Bremner, showed his nine opponents a clean pair of heels when he skated home at a gloomy Fairview on Friday to win the R150 000 Listed East Cape Nursery.

What A Winter, a son of multiple champion sire Western Winter, is one of the best sprinters to have raced in this country in the 21st century and the handsome athlete has stamped his offspring with his regal good looks and seemingly his high quality fleetfooted ability too.

This has been clearly

demonstrated by the demand for them in the sales arena.

The impeccably bred speed king had only one runner in the ten horse field and with all but one (Desert Chief) having won over the 1200m, the race had an open look to it – with local champion Alan Greeff suggesting it would sort ‘the wheat from the chaff’ in the current East Cape 2yo crop.

Yvette Bremner had three in the race, with the maiden Fort Winter looking to have an uphill task to beat his debut winning stablemate, Itsgonnarain.

But the fast growing-inconfidence Callan Murray always had Fort Fox (12-1) in the vanguard, as Desert Chief and Seattle Flame showed some keen toe, with Sacred Oration also poised to attack.

Into the 300m, Murray sent

his mount for home, and he got the better of them and went on strongly under a well balanced ride to hold the late challenge of formerly unbeaten Sacred Oration by 0,75 lengths. No time was advised.

Grant Paddock’s Oratorio colt Sacred Oration ran on well for second and looks a fellow to follow over slightly further.

The 19-10 favourite and recent impressive debut winner Seattle Flame finished third a further 0,75 lengths back after showing good pace.

The rest were well beaten.

It has been a profitable week for the 20 year old Avontuur sponsored Murray, who picked up the Gr1 SA Classic last Saturday and a

T

Drakenstein Stud’s Triple Equus Champion sprinter What A Winter showed that he has lost none of his sweet timing from his illustrious track days when he produced his maiden first crop stakes winner on the eve of the two major yearling sales.

Callan Murray steers Fort Winter to a smart win Gr3 feature winner North of the Limpopo on Sunday.

Trainer Yvette Bremner, who won earlier in the day with the uber-consistent Peach Delight, said that Fort Winter had caught her eye at the sale – she trained his dam and she also ‘loves the What A Winters’.

“I really liked him at the sale. He was small but very correct. This was a lovely win and what a moment for

first-time part- owner Mark Dixon! This is the first horse he has owned. I’d reckon he is hooked!” she laughed.

Fort Winter, who races in a partnership of Mark Dixon, Bryn Ressell, Hedley McGrath, Ian Levitan and Mark Wright, has now won once with 2 places from his three outings for stakes of R110 400.

Bred by John Everett’s Eenfontein Stud, Fort Winter is out of the three-time winning

Fort Wood mare, Fort Fox. He is a R325 000 National Yearling Sale graduate, and was signed for by Kerry Jack Bloodstock.

Yvette will be happy to know that there are 4 What A Winters on the CTS Emperors Palace Select Yearling Sale on 21 April and 16 to choose from on the BSA National Yearling Sale from 3 to 5 May!

Grand National – Romance & Drama

B

One For Arthur, an eight-year-old trained in Kinross, proved to be one for Scotland when he out-jumped and outstayed his 39 rivals to win the 170th Randox Health Grand National at Aintree last Saturday.

acked by Arthurs across Britain and most of Scotland, he was sent off at 14-1. He was ridden by Derek Fox, who only returned to action this week less than a month after fracturing his wrist.

His trainer Lucinda Russell becomes the fourth woman to train a National winner; she was assisted by her partner, the former Champion jockey Peter Scudamore.

Express Train

One For Arthur struggled to go the strong pace for the first mile but he finished like a train.

At one stage he was 20 lengths back behind the pace-setting Rogue Angel but he steadily crept into the contest helped by some superb jumping.

With one of the favourites Definitely Red, hampered at Becher’s first time and pulled up at Valentines, it was the other popular horse in the betting, Blaklion, the 8-1 favourite, who slipped five lengths clear of the field three out under Noel Fehily apparently full of running. Favourite backers must have been counting their money.

But the Melling Road is deceptively far from home. There is still three quarters of mile to run at the point and the National is notorious for late changes in the running order as the stamina kicks in with some horses and fades with others.

In the two furlong run-in One For Arthur, driven out by Fox, never looked like surrendering his lead and he came home to collect the £560,000 first prize four and a half lengths ahead of Cause of Causes to become only the second ever Scottish winner of the race. The first was Rubstic in 1979.

With jockeys under strict instruction to dismount after the line and lead their horses to a special cool-down area for a drink and to be hosed down, Fox was escorted back to the winner’s enclosure on his feet. One of the biggest

cheers was when, in front of the stands, he got a huge hug from his trainer.

Camper

Russell, 50, whose accommodation at the meeting was her camper van in the horsebox park rather than the Aldephi Hotel, described it as a dream come true.

“There’ll be a big party at Kinross,” she said.

“I’m just delighted for Derek – he’s a big part of our set up. We missed him when he was at Jack Berry House (the Injured Jockeys’ Fund’s northern rehabilitation centre.)

“The girls – the Golf Widows – are just great.

They’ve enjoyed every minute of the journey. I said to them this might be the greatest fun we ever have.”

She added: “I wasn’t too worried about the ground. I had a quiet moment with him before the race. I was looking at him and thought you’re tall and light framed you’ll be alright. He was a bit out-paced early but he’s done really well.

Safe And Sound

"Derek is really good at holding them up but sometimes he’s criticised for being too far back but he wasn’t today. He’s only 24. He didn’t get flustered – he’s got a great attitude.

“I’m delighted for Scotland, the two girls love racing, they put their money back into Scotland but we won’t mention the SNP, please!”

In all 19 finished with Katie Walsh, the only female riding in the race, bringing up the rear on Wonderful Charm. Her horse was never quite able to get competitive. For the fourth year in succession all horses came back safe and sound.

On that score, just as the winner of this year’s National will be seen as a good result, so will the fact that not one horse was lost over the three days of this year’s meeting.

T

Comparisons to the past are hard to ignore. Australian superstar Winx’ record says she deserves to be held in the highest regard.

hat's now 17 straight after her win in Saturday’s Longines Queen Elizabeth Stakes. Her Group 1 tally sits at 12 and will surely only continue to grow.

Better than Black Caviar? Sunline and Makybe Diva? What about Kingston Town? Or even Phar Lap? The questions are being asked and many will have an opinion, but the only one that can be answered with distinction is that Winx is far superior to anything that is currently racing in Australia. Possibly the world but until she travels overseas we can't be definitive.

She is simply too good. The rest can keep trying but they just aren't capable of matching her power.

They can't match her determination, they can't match her speed. She has it all.

Royal Randwick has been the scene of many memorable moments and Winx's dominance in the Queen Elizabeth will join the long list.

The winning margin over Hartnell was five-and-aquarter lengths; Sense Of Occasion was a further neck away in third. But this moment was all about Winx, her unflappable jockey Hugh Bowman and her master trainer Chris Waller.

"She is just so dominant," said Bowman. “There wasn’t a lot of pace on paper. I wouldn’t say it was a high pressure race today. Everyone found their spot and even slowed it up mid-race and it was a bit of a sprint home.

“I don’t think you see the best of her when it is that sort of race. I mean she is obviously still good, she wheeled passed them at the top of the straight and she still let down.

“Honestly, I think when she gets in a high pressure race, when there is a lot of pace from the start like there was in last year’s Cox Plate, that’s when you see the best of her.

“What a supreme athlete she is and what an honour it is to just be a part of her career.

“I don’t whip her too often, but I wanted that supreme effort today, the Grand Final, and when I gave her one she extended again, I could really feel the crowd’s love for her.”

“Just look at her, she’s a supreme athlete, she’s the ultimate professional, I love her.”

Waller was typical in his response to her win. It is like he almost wants to take a back seat and enjoy it like everyone else. He trains Winx like the other 200-odd horses in his stable.

But she is different.

"She’s had a perfect preparation, pretty much. She makes everything look perfect really though. She makes me look like a genius," he said.

“It should all be about Winx.

Everywhere she goes people follow her and it’s very heart warming.

“It’s just a big relief for the day to be finally here and to have the job done. It’s indescribable really.

We take it as it comes. She’s doing great things.

“It’s the same every start, you shouldn’t look into patterns with her.

They’re different athletes you can’t just see how they are going every day and ask them how they feel - 21 days is a long time between runs.

Felix Coetzee visits Silent Witness Sometimes one needs a bit of a break from the harsh reality of life and it’s always good to have a few feel-good stories handy in a pinch.

It’s been a tough week on the political front with our president shuffling his cabinet and while the Grand National can usually be relied on to throw up some kind of ruckus or high drama on the racing pages, this week the bad news came from the Southern Hemisphere.

Luckily there was also some good news and for me, that came in the form of photographs of Felix Coetzee dropping in to visit Silent Witness at Australia’s Living Legends last week.

As a happiness shared is a happiness doubled, I thought I’d do just that.

S

ilent Witness catapulted onto the racing stage with his incredible 17 race unbroken win streak back in the early 2000’s. It is difficult to comprehend the magnitude of his importance to the Hong Kong racing public, but arriving as he did in the middle of their SARS crisis his performances were seized on by the local community as a beacon of hope during some very dark times. His achievements were so significant that Murray Bell wrote a book dedicated to Silent Witness titled ‘The Spirit of Hong Kong’ and in 2009 the Hong Kong Jockey Club erected a life-size commemorative sculpture of Silent Witness on the Sha Tin Racecourse public forecourt.

Legendary partnership As Felix Coetzee partnered him in all his starts, his own star rose along with the great horse. Perhaps the very pinnacle of their achievements was their 17th victory, an incredible second consecutive Hong Kong International Sprint in 2004. Felix remembers, “Everyone was waving flags and up in the grandstand someone had a massive banner with his colours. Seeing the whole of Hong Kong behind him – you get caught up in that kind of emotion. There were horses from all over the world that people had been talking up, but I looked at those crowds and thought, ‘How can anything beat us?’ It’s something I would never normally do, but I put my fist in the air and the whole grandstand erupted. It gave me goosebumps. It’s hard to describe, but it was just one of those

9

moments that really means something. It gives you a power and a confidence that you’re unbeatable.

It’s once in a lifetime that you get a horse like Silent Witness.”

Where the Sprint was one of the highlights of Felix and Silent Witness’ career, so their very next start, the 2005 Champions Mile, would be one of their worst as they got beaten on the line by stable mate Bullish Luck and jockey Gerald Mosse. In an interview with the SCMP’s Michael Cox, Mosse recalled: "You don't usually notice the crowd while you are riding, but that day it was very loud, all the way down the straight, but in the final strides something very strange happened - when it was clear I would win, the crowd just stopped. All of a sudden, it was like somebody switched off the volume."

In all, Silent Witness raced 29 times for 18 wins and 5 places and Felix Coetzee partnered him throughout his career. Silent Witness retired to Living Legends after his last start on 4 February 2007.

Special visit Felix is currently contracted by the Hong Kong Jockey Club to work as part of their apprentice development programme.

En route to New Zealand last week, he stopped off in Australia to consult with a local equine sports psychologist and on his way back to the airport, he stopped in to check in on Silent Witness.

“Living Legends is about 6 minutes from Melbourne airport, so it was really convenient to pop in on my way before I left,” he explains.

The first time Felix visited was about a year after Silent Witness retired.

“That time I went specifically from HK. When I went through customs in Australia they asked ‘what’s the reason for your visit?’ and I said I’ve come

to visit a horse. They said, ‘Go and though he was saying, “Let’s get the stand in that queue please’ and pecking order right!” he laughs. gave me a thorough grilling because Back in their Hong Kong days, the I was flying out the same day and not pair reportedly had a ritual greeting staying over. It took about ¾ of an that they would go through. “What hour to get through he would do customs.

When I visited, I particularly given me a hard time coming in, so took my cap with me.

It was nice to have say, no good deed goes unpunished! that again,” he reminisces. “I’ve got Fortunately this time things were two big slobber marks on my cap, a lot less eventful. “I specifically which I probably won’t wash off.” got there early so that I could spend Doing well some time with him. Unfortunately, when I arrived they had just Silent Witness is 17 years old now, unloaded the feed van, so he was but still looking great. Felix reports, eating.

The only problem is keeping one of their bigger paddocks to allow his weight down! It was lovely to see him to do a bit more exercise.” him looking so good. I can’t even say “I had time, so I just hung he’s an old man or anything like that. around. He totally ignored me in For me, when I’m standing with him the beginning. Once he’d eaten and so on, he’s still got his character, enough, I tried to get his attention, his aura about him, everything is but he wasn’t having much of it,” there. He’s something else. He just laughed Felix. “He walked, picked at knows he’s great.” some grass and eventually decided “One thing I always said was that he would give me a bit of time – he’s got these wild instincts about that’s when the pictures happened.” him. Like a horse in the wild, he “It was very very nice. He gave me would always notice things in the about 10 minutes like that. When I distance – he was sharp with things say ‘he gave me 10 minutes’, I talk like that. If you look at the pictures about him like that because that’s you can see how soft his eyes can just him. He’s got this massive be and also how alert he can be, presence, this ego. They tell me because I managed to get pictures he’s the boss there. They’ve put of both.

You can see he’s he would do that. And I only got it for about 10 minutes and then that in control there!” was it and he went off and did his own stuff again. I actually struggled On his terms Did Silent Witness remember to get a picture of him with his head him? “It was very much a riding up – he just eats! If his head is not in kind of relationship that I had his haynet, then he’s eating grass.”

Silent Witness’ old foe Bullish with him in Hong Kong. It is very different to what I have with horses Luck occupies the paddock next now – breaking in and all that door and although Felix rode Bullish sort of thing. It’s quite a different Luck to victory in the 2004 Hong feeling.

But I’ve always been Kong Gold Cup, the pain of the aware of his persona, his attitude, 2005 Champions Mile defeat still his character and he just, he has runs deep. Felix says, “Think what always known that he’s great. He’s you like, I don’t care, I didn’t say like a supreme athlete. I don’t know hello to him and couldn’t find a why, but Carl Lewis always jumps to reason why I should. I did win the mind when I want to compare him Hong Kong Gold Cup on him but that to a person’s character. I always was enough for me.” remember thinking Carl Lewis has Saying goodbye this air of supremacy about him and that’s what Silent has got. And he “I was making ready to leave and showed me that again last week. thinking to myself, I don’t know when It was like ‘Oh OK, now I will give I’m going to be here again. You sort you some attention.’ It was a funny of want to say ‘cheerio, old chap’, thing – one of the first things he did but he’s not interested. I was the was to put his head above mine, as lucky one to come and see him.”

It seems a move of the race date by a week to accommodate royalty has not impacted unduly on interest in the R1 million HSH Princess Charlene Of Monaco Gr1 Empress Club Stakes to be run on 22 April. 19 entries were received – with Mike de Kock and Sean Tarry dominating numbers with a total of 8 possibles between them. Justin Snaith is the only out-ofprovince entrant with Star Express. Declarations are due on Tuesday 18 April.

Maintaining the great run in Mauritius by SA jockeys, KZN rider Brandon Lerena rode four winners for the Gilbert Rousset yard at the Champ de Mars on Saturday. But their fourth victory on Scotsnog in the T-Printers 25th Anniversary Cup almost never happened when the former Mike de Kock-trained gelding stumbled badly at the start.

How Lerena stayed in the saddle is a mystery!

Do sponsors get bang for their buck? Sometimes the planets align to ensure that happens! Take top SA bookmakers Hollywoodbets, who sponsored the main race at Greyville last Friday evening. The race was won by Mr Roy, ridden by Winning Form sponsored – Muzi Yeni and trained by Kevin & Alyson Wright – Hollywoodbets sponsored trainers, and conditioners of the Hollywood horses in KZN. Mr Roy was their only runner on the night. And to add to the package, the 7-1 winner was tipped by Magic Tips in Winning Form as their Value Bet for the day. The cherry on top was that Hollywood supremo Owen Heffer’s son Devin held his bulls party at Greyville on the evening.

He gets married on 13 May.

The 150 year old $2 million Gr1 Sydney Cup at Randwick on Saturday was labelled a farce by some of Australia’s leading jockeys after a horse broke down in the early stages of the race. Racing NSW stewards made the call to abandon the race at around the 1600m mark as the Sydney Cup field swung into the back straight, almost a minute after Almoonqith was injured. Stipes radioed the starter to scream at the riders. There are no sirens at Randwick. Godolphin’s European duo Polarisation and Penglai Pavilion, who had been shipped from the northern hemisphere just for this race, were ridden out to the finish. The race has been rescheduled for Saturday 22 April.

Starcraft, sire of Paul Peter’s Turffontein Saturday winner Seventh Of June, has moved from Arrowfield to Rosemont Stud and breeders have been given a unique chance to breed to him for free. Mare owners who book swiftly get the chance to ‘toss the boss’ and nominate whether they would prefer to breed a colt or a filly. "Basically we are saying you will only pay for what you want. If you nominate you want a colt and get a colt you will pay the service fee. But if you get a filly, you don't pay a cent," said Rosemont's Anthony Mithen. The service fee is $8800. “We all only want to pay for what we want, rather than what you get," Mithen added.

Leading South African ownerbreeder Mary Slack enjoyed her biggest win in the UK to date when her Fastnet Rock filly Diamond Fields powered home to win the €60000 Gr3 Gladness Stakes at Naas in Ireland on Sunday. Purchased for €55 000 by Cape Town-based Form Bloodstock at the 2014 Goffs Yearling Sale, the 4yo was ridden in the 1400m turf race by jockey Chris Hayes for trainer Fozzy Stack – who has his eye on Royal Ascot.

Cot Campbell seemingly remains the real deal despite managing only sixth of nine when odds-on for his debut at Kenilworth on Saturday. Chris Snaith warned Gold Circle writer Michael Clower that the R3.3 million colt would need the run.

Clower writes - he ambled out of the pens with about as much urgency as a pensioner going to the post office. In no time he was six lengths last and, although he made up the leeway, he was a spent force by the time he met with interference almost on the line. “You can put a line through that,” said Jonathan Snaith. “This is a horse to follow and you can expect major improvement next time.”

Swift ACTION Grand PR Jockey Dale Swift, who missed his only intended ride at Lingfield on Saturday in unexplained circumstances, is understood to have had his licence suspended for a month.

They do things properly in England.

Grand National winning trainer Lucinda Russell will host a media day on Sunday at her Kinross stable north of Edinburgh, and the celebrations will continue at Kelso on Monday when One For Arthur will parade before racing.

Backworth

The dispersal sale held at boutique KZN stud Backworth on Monday delivered good results. Lots were also included from Janet Baker Properties, Spring Valley Stud and Summerhill Stud. The sale grossed R4 658 000 with a total of 82 lots sold at an average of R56 804. Highest price was the R650 000 paid for #6, Cupid’s Daughter – dam of impressive recent winner Cuvara and in foal to the high-class Oratorio. She is a half-sister to Australian Gr3 winner Generalife who ran third in the Gr1 Doomben 10 000.

Alistair Cohen

I first met Alistair Cohen when he was working as a bid spotter at the National Yearling Sales.

While other folk with a regular TV slot who no longer need to state their last name for people to know who they are may have considered the job too junior, like most professionals dedicated to their job, Alistair was just happy to be there, learning the ropes, chatting to people on his breaks and generally soaking up the atmosphere.

I liked him immediately.

I

n late December 2016, the popular young commentator was diagnosed with cancer.

He finished chemotherapy last Monday and was back at work just 3 days later. We caught up with him to chat about the ups and downs of the last few months.

Diagnosis “It all started in early December,” explains Alistair. “I was having bad lower back pain - it wasn’t muscular or anything like that, it was almost some kind of knocking noise, like someone in there was trying to get out. I didn’t think much of it, thinking it was probably some kind of kidney or bladder infection.” The next sign that all was not well came after a regular Thursday game of action cricket. “I woke up the following morning with a sore groin and a bit of a lump and thought I’d pulled a muscle. I mentioned it to my mom who was visiting at the time and she said I should go to the doctor, which I’d been avoiding. After examining me, the doctor said it was either a hernia or bad news. He referred me to a surgeon, but being so close to Christmas, the surgeon was away and said I could either see another surgeon or wait till he got back.” Alistair chose to wait. However, on the morning of 20 December he couldn’t get out of bed. “My mom sent me to hospital.

I showed them the lump in my groin, they did an ultrasound and told me I had cancer. Surgery was scheduled for the next day.”

What was going through his mind at that stage? “Not a helluva lot, if I’m honest. It took a long time to process.

I wasn’t fully aware what I was in for.

The only time it hit me was when friends and the racing fraternity started showing support and said ‘what you’re about to go through is pretty serious’.

Everyone told me it would be worse.

Obviously there were dark days, but I’m at the end of the tunnel.”

Being an only child, the news was particularly hard on his parents. “I was expecting them to handle the news terribly. Obviously my mom stayed up here a lot longer than initially planned.

For the first few days, she just bawled her eyes out. When she got back to Durban, a lot of my friends’ parents went to see her and she put on a brave face.

My father’s always been a soldier.”

The surgery results showed that

Alistair had Stage 3 Testicular cancer.

There is no easy way to hear news like that, neither is there an easy way to tell others, but in characteristic fashion, Alistair tackled it head on. With his usual single-minded determination, he announced on social media, ‘’Today I got the worst news of my life. Was diagnosed with cancer. I will be on the long list of survivors at the end of this.”

He maintained this relentlessly positive and determined attitude throughout and checking how he was doing in March I got the reply, “7 more days of chemo.

Monday. Full week 20-24 March. Last day 27 March. Recovery for a few weeks. Back. Boom. Easy.” It is hard not to admire that level of conviction, but then Alistair knows there are no rewards without a bit of chutpah and a lot of hard work. After all, it’s what made him enter (and win) a commentating competition at the age of 12 and spend the next seven years making his mother drive him to various racecourses (and likely driving her crazy in return) to practice until he was good enough to take on the real thing.

“I’ve really got to thank my folks for the way they coped throughout the process. I heard from my mom and dad every day while I was indisposed. They really pushed me and motivated me and checked that everything was OK. Anything they could do for me they did.

I think it was also pretty special that my mom was here with me when it all started and my dad was up with me for the last day of chemo and will be staying for a few weeks. I’m a lucky kid.”

While the disease doesn’t discriminate, twenty-six seems particularly young.

Alistair says, “In November I was looking at my Medical Aid bills and wondering what I was paying all this money for every month. Well, now I’m glad I did.”

Treatment Chemotherapy started on 9 January 2017. “The Tellytrack bosses were understanding when I had to take a sabbatical,” says Alistair. “Rob Scott, Dieter Wohlberg and Wesley Lloyd supported me and offered me whatever I needed.”

Alistair received four cycles of treatment consisting of 5 days of chemotherapy from Monday to Friday, a rest over the weekend, a session the following Monday with a week off and another session the following Monday. “Overall it went pretty well, other than one small setback. I was meant to start my second

session on 3 February, just after the Met, but I had to postpone because my bloods were low.

That’s fairly normal and turned out to be a blessing because it meant I could go to the golf day. That was the day that made me realise racing people are incredible people. The support was unbelievable.”

The chemotherapy ‘experience’ is different for each individual, but Alistair says, “I got really lucky.

Everyone was so supportive.

Whether it was the back room staff at Tellytrack, Neil Andrews, Nico Kritsiotis or Darryl Maree, everyone pitched in to take me to chemo. If there was no-one available, school mates came up, stayed over and dealt with me and all the shenanigans. I had it easy – all the other patients in chemo with me couldn’t believe the support I’ve had. They were pretty envious.”

With Alistair’s diagnosis, the ability to have children is an obvious concern. It’s not an easy question to ask, but he answers cheerfully. “Chances are it will be fine. There is an outside chance things won’t work, but Lance Armstrong was able to have two children naturally, so I have hope.”

Support “There are a helluva lot of people to thank, but a few that really deserve a mention are Neil Andrews and Dominic Zaki – they opened their houses to me when times were tough. Their families looked after me for weeks at a time, comforted me and nursed me when they had to. I also have to mention Justin Vermaak and Anthony Destombes for the golf day and Gary Lentin and Shuffle Up Poker for the poker evening on Monday.

Phil Georgiou and his gang came up from Durban, I had breakfast with Vee Moodley and calls from Clyde Basel, but the phone calls, messages, lunches and support from so many people have really meant a lot.”

“One thing that really hit hard was when my school mates decided to shave their heads. I said it wasn’t necessary, but when they did it, I thought it was really cool. When the Cape Town jockeys rallied together and did it, I realised it’s not just the racing hierarchy that support me, but the guys that make things happen on the track, guys that I can sometimes be critical of, but really are my friends.

All the guys from action cricket would ask every time there was a game, when I was coming back. It was all those things that made it quite easy for me.”

“Like Paul Lafferty said to me after the news broke, ‘you’ll realise a lot more people like you than you think’.

And he’s another that’s always answered messages and calls when I needed to ask something.”

Back to work Alistair surprised everyone by being back at work at the Vaal on Thursday, 6 April. Why so soon?

“It’s actually an interesting story.

Alston Naidoo was supposed to do it, but when the schedule came out, my name was down. I was so desperate to get back, I asked the guys not to change it. I was so proud, driving to the Vaal on Thursday, it felt like going to a Gr1 race day. It was probably the furthest thing from a Gr1 day, but I was so excited. It was maybe a bit of a blessing that the last 3 races got cancelled, I was getting a little weary after the 5th, but I was really happy to be back. I haven’t done on course presenting since September, so I may have been a bit green, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, I was sitting at home the next day thinking I could probably

commentate PE from the studio!”

Did he follow racing while he was off?

“I took a break after the Met for about a month. I followed the results, but didn’t watch it on TV. Last month I was straight back into it and taking a few bets. I was really missing it and looking forward to getting back, so that was inevitable.”

Alistair particularly enjoys calling on Champions Day and he confirmed that he will be calling again this year. “Nico is calling Mauritius, so I’ll be doing all 12 races and I can’t wait. I am expecting Sean Tarry to have a number of winners. He is our champion trainer, so it would not be out of turn. Mike de Kock sent out a first timer called Mustaaqeem a few weeks ago that won by a steeplechase margin on debut and I’m looking forward to seeing him again.”

Lessons Has the experience changed his perspective on things? “It sounds clichéd, but you really appreciate every breath you take. To be told if I’d done nothing for 3 months, there’s every chance I wouldn’t be here now makes you realise we’re not going to be here forever and that you’ve got to embrace every day. I guess you learn who you are when staring in the face of adversity.”

To lighten the mood, I ask whether his hair will be back. “It should start coming back. I miss my hair!” he laughs. We discuss the fact that one’s hair often grows back differently after chemo and that he might be in for a surprise and Alistair answers, “I like surprises now, there are no more bad surprises.”

Where to now?

There is an 8 week wait while before he’ll know whether the meds have done their job and whether he is in remission, but what is he focussing on for the immediate future? “Obviously overseas is a place I want to end up, wherever ‘overseas’ may be - I think it’s a natural progression. But I’ve not thought a lot about it since the turn of last year, I’ve had a lot of other things on my mind,” he says carefully. “For now, I just want to focus on getting back into the game, doing as well as I can, getting back to full health and making punters and the racing fraternity happy. I’m just happy to be here.”

In a recent interview with Game On Magazine, Alistair was described as ‘a role model and an inspiration.’ I’d second that.

A Case Of Rags To Riches

T

While much of the world’s attention on exciting young stallions revolves around unbeaten superstar, Frankel (Galileo), he is by no means the only young sire whose first crop have set the tracks alight.

he Lane’s End Farm based Union Rags (Dixie Union) was represented by his third individual first crop Gr1 winner (Frankel has one to date one – Soul Stirring), when daughter, Paradise Woods, romped to a 11.75 win in Saturday’s Gr1 Santa Anita Oaks. Paradise Woods, who will now be pointed towards the classic Gr1 Kentucky Oaks, has won two of three starts and looks to be among the leaders of North America’s 3yo filly crop.

Union Rags, whose four first crop graded stakes winners are all female, was previously represented by Union Strike (Del Mar Debutante) and Dancing Rags (the Gr1 winning Alcibiades Stakes winning half-sister to popular young Cape sire, Coup De Grace).

Another daughter of Union Rags, Tequilita (who shares her second dam with local sire, Rock Of Rochelle), won the Gr2 Forward Gal Stakes.

It is interesting, however, that in 2017 Union Rags (whose fee was increased to $50 000 for 2017) has had just eight winners from 50 runners this year thus far, but this strike rate should still improve.

He is currently North America’s third Leading Second Crop Sire by stakes, behind only Shackleford (Forestry), Bodemeister (Empire Maker) and Dialed In (Mineshaft) – interestingly the great Storm Cat can be found in all three of the pedigrees of those sires, as paternal grandsire of Gr1 Preakness Stakes winner Shackleford and broodmare sire of both Bodemeister and Dialed In).

Sporting Post DIGEST is an extract of the BEST from the Spor�ng Post newspaper, website and more.

It is published every Thursday and downloaded free of charge.

Union Rags, a dual Gr1 winning sire (he won both the Champagne Stakes and Belmont Stakes), also has ties to South African bloodstock.

Gr2 SA Oaks winner, Idle Fancy (Badger Land), like Union Rags, is a descendant of 1000 Guineas winner, Glad Rags II (High Hat).

This female line, also responsible for major international Gr1 winners, Sheikhzayedroad (Dubawi), Colonial Affair (Pleasant Colony) and Declaration Of War (his dam is a half-sister to Union Rags), has also produced the smart South African gallopers, Dreamfields (Northfields), Jamaican Dream (Lizard Island), and Runaway Man (Goldkeeper). This is the same family as July winning champion, Devon Air (Sparkler) and Gr1 Mercury Sprint winner, August Rush (Var).

Union Rags was one of three Gr1 winners sired by short lived stallion, Dixie Union, who, like Union Rags and his own sire Dixieland Band, stood at Lane’s End Farm.

Dixie Union, who hailed from the same family as champion South African sire/broodmare sire, Fort Wood, was a successful stallion, despite only sporting three Gr1 winners. His nearly 50 odd stakes winners made up 6% of his foal crop, above the 4% which is what an average stallion these days achieves. Not only was the Malibu Stakes winner a more than solid sire, Dixie Union has also became a top class broodmare sire, with his daughters having already bred the Gr1 winners New Year’s Day (Street Cry), Klimt (Quality Road), Besitos (Cima De Triomphe), Idalino (Pleasantly Perfect) and Mor Spirit (Eskendereya), as well as graded/ group winners, Mohaymen (Tapit), Besharah (Kodiac), Unified (Candy Ride), and recent Gulfstream Park Oaks winner, Salty (Quality Road).

His son, Union Rags, looks most likely to continue to enhance this branch of the all-conquering Northern Dancer line, although it is worth noting, as stated above, that his best runners thus far have all been female. Union Rags, who, due to injury, never ran again after winning the Belmont Stakes, continues the success at stud enjoyed

by Belmont Stakes winners, with the likes of champion sires Seattle Slew (Bold Reasoning), A P Indy (Seattle Slew), and Thunder Gulch (Gulch)

as well as increasingly influential, Empire Maker (Unbridled), other prominent stallions to have won the final leg of the US Triple Crown. The 2012 Gr1 Belmont Stakes winner is out of a mare by Gone West, previously somewhat dismissed as a broodmare sire, but a stallion whose influence has steadily grown as a maternal grandsire of stakes winners. To date, Gone West (arguably better known as a sire of sires rather than broodmare sire) is broodmare sire of at least 110 stakes winners including European classic winners, Motivator (sire of dual Arc winner, Treve) and Leading Light (Montjeu), US champion 2yo, Awesome Feather (Awesome Of Course) and the Gr1 winners, African Story (Pivotal), Healthy Addiction (Boston Harbor), Giant Treasure (Mizzen Mast), Order Of St George (Galileo) and Violence (Medagalia D’Oro). Gone West’s son, Zafonic, is, himself, broodmare sire of successful sire Showcasing (Oasis Dream) and Gr1 sire Domesday (Red Ransom).

Union Rags is, however, but one of a growing group of promising young sires to have emerged from the US of late. Of the 13 top sires on the second crop list this year, 12 have been represented by at least one stakes winner in 2017 already, and this tally looks sure to increase substantially in the coming months.

Another sign of a potentially exciting crop of sires emerging from US can be seen in the potential line up for the 2017 Kentucky Derby. Likely starters, Gunnevera (Dialed In), Always Dreaming (Bodemeister), Malagacy (Shackleford), and State Of Honor (To Honor And Serve) are all by stallions whose first crop are now three. And four of the current leading US second crop sires have sired at least one Gr1 winner to date –Bodemeister, Union Rags, The Factor and Gemologist).

Inglis Australia Easter Yearling Sale

Nostalgia – And Some Big Numbers Sheikh Hamdan’s Shadwell, top buyers on aggregate, purchased four yearlings for Mike de Kock at the Inglis Australia Easter Yearling Sale which ended last week as the second greatest in the sales company’s 150 year history.

De Kock may not have left with large numbers, but there is plenty of quality in his quartet.

On day one he got Lot 20, a filly by All Too Hard from the Redoute’s Choice mare, Zingaling (A$200,00), Lot 74, a Redoute’s Choice colt from Catshaan (by Catrail), a half-sister to Kinshasha No Kiseki, Japan’s Champion Sprinter of 2012, for A$550,000; and Lot 101, a filly by Exceed and Excel ($350,000).

His final acquisition later in the sale could be the pick of the bunch – Lot 369, a smashing Snitzel colt (A$ 700 000) out of the Volksraad mare Star Satire, who was the Champion 3yo filly of her year, and winner of the Gr1 Otaki WFA Stakes and four other races.

The average ended at $355,875 (a 26% year-on-year increase) with the median at $260,000 (a 30% year-onyear increase) and clearance rate at an extremely healthy 85%.

In a stunning three days which saw a buying bench gather from all corners of the globe, records were set across the board including: Arrowfield Stud’s $20,040,000 gross is the highest ever for a vendor at an Australian Yearling Sale, beating the previous record set in 2008 There have been 22 yearlings sell in Australasia in 2017 for $1 million or more, of which 18 have come at Inglis

and 17 at this Easter Sale alone 17 Yearlings selling for $1 million or more in one sale is the third highest, behind 2008 Easter (28 Lots) and 2007 Easter (23) Record prices have been set for the progeny of Medaglia d’Oro ($2.4m), I Am Invincible ($1.6m), Sebring ($1.4m), Not A Single Doubt ($1.25m), Exceed And Excel ($1.2m), Written Tycoon ($1m) and Zoustar ($1m) The sale average of $356,755 is second-highest Easter average ever Vendors were again the big winners, with almost half enjoying a 100% clearance rate.

Record-setters Arrowfield topped the Gross figures by more than $11 million, while Segenhoe Stud were leaders by average, selling 10 Lots at an average of $650,000.

Arrowfield sold seven Lots in total for $1 million or more from their 34 sales over the three days, ending with a 92% clearance rate.

On the $2.5 million sale-topper, Arrowfield’s John Messara wasn’t surprised the colt attracted significant attention from the buying bench.

“I was expecting a big price but I didn’t know what that price would be,’’ he said.

“It’s fitting that Redoute’s should top the sale too because he’s been leading sire here for so long now.’’

Leading buyer by Lots purchased was Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott with 14 Lots, while by aggregate was Shadwell Stud with $5,755,000.

The leading sire by aggregate was Snitzel ($20,425,000) with a remarkable 38 of his 39 progeny offered selling, while by average was Not A Single Doubt at $750,000 from three sales.
