Boom colt Haawaam – ready to atone!

R3 million Gr1 SUN MET at Kenilworth this Saturday

Bridging The Gap! T

The fourth running of the R3 million Gr1 Sun Met at Kenilworth on Saturday presents a tricky poser with a strong case to be made for the top five. Three weeks ago it was Hawwaam and by how far. After the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate the picture changed dramatically. So what to take as fact and what to throw out the window as fiction?

he late Peter Kannemeyer always preached that we shouldn’t make excuses for beaten horses. We have three to consider here – Rainbow Bridge, Do It Again and Hawwaam.

Defending champion Rainbow Bridge’s regular rider has been replaced by Ryan Moore – one of the world’s greatest. Dual July winner Do It Again didn’t enjoy a happy passage in the Green Point Stakes and then health issues were touted after his Queen’s Plate unplaced run.

The mind boggling delay at the start of the prestigious weight-forage mile threw the cat amongst the pigeons for all – and more so for the fragile personality, Hawwaam, who didn’t appear too distraught behind the gates, but produced a flatter than

expected effort when not settling.

There was criticism of the ride too.

Through all the excuses being showered over the established stars, nobody really seemed too impressed by Vardy’s terrific performance to win his first Gr1 – a superb follow up on the Green Point Stakes success and he is unbeaten this season. The gutsy son of Var should go close to winning this and silencing his detractors - if he stays the 2000m.

Do It Again was runner-up behind Rainbow Bridge last year, but his two prep runs into the Met have raised question marks again his invincibility. The son of Twice Over was cramped in the Green Point Stakes when clearly in need of the run and then a bit off colour around the Queen’s Plate. The

South African Horse Of The Year is too smart to discard.

Sporting Post top-rated Rainbow Bridge won the Champions Cup at the end of last season and his two running on thirds in the Green Point and the Queen’s Plate were good efforts, without setting the world alight. Gavin Lerena has been jocked off in favour the British star – a bitter pill for the former SA champion jockey when his horse is having his peak run over his correct trip with his season target in sight!

Despite the quiet L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate effort by Hawwaam, Anton Marcus – one of the best judges in the country – said there is still no other horse he’d rather ride in this race and he ets the chance to set the record straight. This will be the son of Silvano’s swansong appearance in this country and a

line through his last start makes him a worthy favourite.

While not impressive in the Green Point when dropping out, Head Honcho ran a cracking third and under a length off Rainbow Bridge in he 2019 Met. He led for a long way and there were some schools of thought that he could have just about won it had Keagan de Melo capitalised. Piere Strydom takes the reins and there isn’t a better man for the job of poaching the Cape’s biggest prize from the front.

Undercover Agent ran fourth last year and comes in off two quiet efforts in the Green Point Stakes and the Queen’s Plate. He ran a cracking third in the Matchem and may well be more effective over shorter.

One World never runs a bad race and ran on well in both his preparatory efforts behind Vardy.

While the Adam Marcus runner appears to have his measure, it would be folly to write this fellow off with the in-form MJ Byleveld looking to overcome the 13 draw.

Vardy’s stablemate Twist Of Fate looks held on recent form but is

another in the mould of One World, who just doesn’t know how to run a bad race.

Regarded by some as the dark horse in the race, Bunker Hunt faces his biggest challenge after running on steadily when beaten 2,25 lengths by Hawwaam in the Premier Trophy. He was placed in the Gr1 Cape Derby last year over the course and distance – but this is much tougher.

The Glen Kotzen duo of Eyes Wide Open and Pack Leader will run in the Chrigor Stud silks and both are capable of a big effort on their day. Eyes Wide Open is a course

- rampant this season

R3 million Gr1 SUN MET at Kenilworth this Saturday and distance Gr1 winner and has boxed at the top level with consistency. His recent runs suggest he will need to up his game, but as this is his season target, he will be ready.

Pack Leader has had three runs since a long rest. While his sole stakes success is a listed feature in the Eastern Cape, he has quartet kicker prospects.

The 2019 KZN Derby winner Roy Had Enough has had quite a tough programme – coming out of the Gold Cup and then campaigning in Gauteng. He ran on steadily for sixth and 2,40 lengths off Zillzaal in the Summer Cup was staying on at his first start in the Cape when fifth and 2,75 lengths off Belgarion in the Peninsula Handicap. Drawn 8 and a game sort, he could stay on for the back end of quartets if things go his way.

The Candice Bass-Robinson duo of Majestic Mozart and More Magic are two genuine longshots who will both need to improve lengths to feature in the money.

More Magic carried only 52kgs when a 2,55 lengths fourth in the Peninsula Handicap behind Belgarion. He had excuses and a wide draw didn’t facilitate his prospects.

Majestic Mozart was also poorly drawn there but ran on steadily and finished a length in front. He is 2kgs better off with his stablemate and showed some flashes of genuine promise in his 3yo career with regular places just off the best.

There is little to choose between Rainbow Bridge, Hawwaam, Do It Again and Vardy and it will come down to personal preferences and viewpoints on their lead-in races. Enjoy!

- good third last year

A Met Bet

According to Patrick Bradley from South Africa’s leading bookmakers Hollywoodbets, the big race betting has been ‘a bit subdued’ with no sustained pressure for any of the Met runners.

“Punters are nibbling at Hawwaam, but I think most are hoping for a drift from 18/10. But I don’t believe this is likely to happen. Interestingly, there has been a bit of interest in Piere Strydom’s mount Head Honcho (at 33/1), and Snaith’s second stringer Bunker Hunt (at 40/1 ) earlier.

The Hollywoodbets hospitality team will be meeting visitors on arrival at Cape Town International Airport on Thursday and Friday with complimentary Sporting Posts and Winning Forms.

Equus Champion Kasimir – the one to beat

R1 million Gr1 CAPE FLYING CHAMPIONSHIP at Kenilworth this Saturday

Fox Chases Kasimir

A

Equus champion sprinter Kasimir defends his Gr1 Cape Flying Championship title at Kenilworth on Saturday and takes on Brett Crawford’s outstanding unbeaten Foxwedge filly Run Fox Run in what could be one of the races of the day.

handsome athletic specimen, Captain Al’s 5yo son Kasimir was our best sprinter last term and he could well hold the edge over his rivals in a bid to win this summer speed pinnacle for the second year running. He takes on some accomplished quickies, but if back to his best looks the closest thing to a Pick 6 banker on the day, Dual stakes winner Run Fox Run has won five from five and steps into mixed company – and at the highest level, for the first time in her career.

The daughter of Foxwedge has ground to make on Kasimir and she could well be more effective over

the 1200m in this company.

Her performance will be closely monitored and the historical success of the girls in this race suggests a victory is not beyond the realms of possibility.

He stablemate, the lightly campaigned Gr1 Computaform Sprint winner Pacific Trader, returned to action after a short rest with enthusiasm last time to chase Chimichuri Run all the way to the line. He ran a 2,35 length fourth in this race last year behind Kasimir.

Sean Tarry’s Chimichuri Run beat Pacific Trader with authority over the course and distance of his campaign opening run here earlier this month. The son of Trippi will find Kasimir (beaten 2 lengths there) a different proposition in terms of fitness this time round though.

The hard-knocking Bold Respect is held by Chimichuri Run on his last start when beaten 1,50 lengths, but is sure to challenge for place money on his best form.

The superquick PE raider Princess Rebel was a doubtful starter as we went to print on

Tuesday in view of an AHS cloud hanging over Fairview.

Cape Merchants winner Russet Air might find the pace over the minimum trip a trifle hot in this company at these weights. That said, he looks sure to be running on into minor money.

Pleasedtomeetyou has been on the fringes of the places but is battling to find a finishing effort.

Celestial Storm looks well held by Run Fox Run on her Southern Cross Stakes third and she is up against it in this company.

Elusive Trader was a shock winner of the Southeaster Sprint last time but this will be much tougher, Piere Strydom is an interesting jockey engagement for Machiavelli, who looks in at the deep end here.

We are siding with Kasimir to find his best stride and bounce back to winning ways.

Run Fox Run and Pacific Trader look the dangers.

The Cape Flying Championship was launched in 1969 over the Milnerton 1000m course and run for a stake of R4000.

In a 50 year history, the greatest ‘Cape Flyer’ is the ‘Iron Horse’ Sentinel, who won the race for three years in succession from 1973.

Other multiple winners were Free Enterprise, Signor Amigo, Flobayou, Cordocelli, Laisserfaire, Nhlavini and present day Drakenstein stallion, What A Winter.

The race was switched to Kenilworth from 1996 and the brilliant Eric Sands trained Flobayou thus holds a rare distinction of being the only horse to win the Gr1 sprint at both Milnerton and Kenilworth.

The late Theo De Klerk, a true gentleman of Cape trainers, saddled the very first winner Benzol for his wife Lavinia.

The 1975 Jack Stubbs Memorial (then the name of the Cape Flying Championship) over 1000m at Milnerton is remembered by many as the cherry atop a fabulous career for Sentinel.

On a perfect Cape summer day, seven-year-old Sentinel whipped

talented speedster Harry Hotspur, with two other precocious youngsters way back in third and fourth -Archangel and Yataghan.

The brilliant Jet Master won the race in 2000 and The ill-fated longstanding SA Champion sire Jet Master was the undisputed king among the milers, but used the 2000 Cape Flying Championship to prove that, given the right programme, he could also have been one of our greatest sprinters.

Anton Marcus who rode Jet Master that day, partners the unbeaten Run Fox Run on Saturday. The fairer sex have a good record. Carry On Alice won it in 2017, while Alboran Sea scored in 2015.Var’s champion daughter Via Africa won the race in 2014, while yet another Var star in Val De Ra won it two years prior to that.

The Australian-bred Laisserfaire won the race in consecutive years in 2001 and 2002. Alec Soteriadis trained the Scott Brothers bred Leta under John Garcia to win in 1970.

Tarry’s Celtic Sea – more magic over the mile?

The R1 Million Bidvest Majorca Stakes is one of the most important WFA races for the fairer sex on our racing calendar. The 2020 renewal on Saturday has all the makings of a vintage clash of the smart girls.

R1 million Bidvest Gr1 MAJORCA STAKES at Kenilworth this Saturday

T

he late Terrance Millard made this race his own in the previous century, winning it seven times, and also celebrated a double with the Ben and Heather Braam’s Peacable Kingdom filly Fast Piece – the Majorca winner in 1976 and 1977. Millard’s first winner was Kentucky Belle in 1972 and he rounded off a golden era with Olympic Duel in 1990.

The Drakenstein owned and bred Inara also achieved a Majorca double in 2015 and 2016. Runing in the same silks, Clouds Unfold looks to emulate her. She looked star material as a 3yo and duly achieved the distinction of winning this race last year when beating the very accomplished Lady In Black.

Things went wrong at Summerveld last season and she never stepped out during the SA Champions Season. Her two runs as a 4yo have indicated though that she could be coming back to something of her better self and she ran on steadily to be beaten by 2,5 lengths

by Celtic Sea in the Sceptre Stakes

last time. She has a wide draw to beat on Saturday but is a serious contender.

The top -class Celtic Sea’s presence in this field after a good win over the sprints last time is an endorsement of confidence by her trainer who tended to be leaning towards sticking to the shorter game. This will be her first try over the course and distance in the Cape, but she is the class filly and in prime form – and the horse to beat.

Brett Crawford’s Cape Fillies Guineas winner Front And Centre looked dangerous in the final stages of the Paddock Stakes, but hit a flat spot and was beaten just under 3 lengths by Queen Supreme. She drops back to the mile and will have every opportunity of turning the tables.

Mike de Kock’s Irish-bred Queen Supreme caught the world’s attention when storming to victory in the Paddock Stakes a matter of weeks ago. That was an excellent step up from her Summer Cup fourth and she was even spoken

about as a possible Sun Met candidate. She is clearly the filly with the most upward potential at this point and, despite the fact that she is six months behind her local contemporaries, she could safely make it a Gr1 double here.

Candice-Bass Robinson’s Santa Clara has proven to be a bit disappointing this season and looks held by the likes of Front And Centre and Queen Supreme on recent form. Her wide draw will not assist her chances and she cannot be fancied with any confidence.

Ridgemont Racing and Brett Crawford’s second string, Kelpie, has drawn against the paint and looks to improve again on her halflength third to Principesa in the Jamaica Handicap. Her earlier form suggests that the mile is her top game.

Heading the Snaith attack, ast season’s Woolavington winner Silvano’s Pride looks to be part of the forward charge in a race loaded with pace. She looks held by Queen Supreme on her Paddock Stakes third, but is a another that will be

tuned to the moment on the day.

Her stablemate, the talented Miyabi Gold should also be right at peak fitness, after her three leadin runs into this race. She was hampered when a 2,7 length fourth behind Queen Supreme in the Paddock Stakes last time. She is 1kg better off with Mike De Kock’s progressive 4yo – but will that be enough to turn the tables?

Paul Reeves’ very game Helen’s Ideal is likely to be in the mix in the final stages as she is a big-hearted galloper who likes to be up there.

She must have a minor place chance if things go her way.

First of the Kotzen duo, Temple Grafin, was disappointing in the Sceptre Stakes when dropping out to almost 10 lengths behind Celtic Sea. Her form suggests she is well held by the Tarry star, but she certainly has a quartet chance at her best.

The second of only two 3yo’s in the line-up, Glen Kotzen’s Third Runway has pulled a wretched draw at 12 and, while very game, looks stretched at a mile. That said, her form is difficult to fault and she strips fit on the big day.

Star Fighter is the third of the Candice Bass-Robinson trio and on paper the daughter of Argonaut appears outgunned in this company.

Sleeping Single is the third of the Snaith trio and gets the valueadded services of top jock, Piere

Strydom. The UK-bred daughter of Australia has maintained a superbly consistent form line against weaker but faces her biggest test at unfavourable weight conditions.

The Dennis Drier trained Stelvio has pulled a perfect draw at 2, but the daughter of Pathfork’s recent form hardly inspires confidence.

Her trainer knows what it takes to win a race like this and it is interesting to see him throw her in at the deep end.

Queen Supreme’s clash with Celtic Sea and Front And Centre, together with defending champion Clouds Unfold in the mix, is mouthwatering stuff. De Kock suggested Queen Supreme was Gr1 material earlier on – she could double that on Saturday and even realise hopes to send her to the USA.

R350 000 New Turf Gr2 WESTERN CAPE STAYERS Kenilworth this Saturday

Stay All Day!

Oratorio daughter Snapscan – should be competitive

T She’s Simply Supreme!

Majorca fancy Queen Supreme’s impressive win in the Gr1 Paddock Stakes at Kenilworth early in January to qualify for the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf at Keeneland in November not only represented a triumph for Irish breeding but also the first topflight success for her breeder.

Tom Hassett bred the four-year-old Exceed And Excel filly out of the Juddmonte-bred Gone West mare Call Later, whose six-year-old Casamento gelding Contango ran away with the prestigious Crown Prince Cup in Saudi Arabia in late December.

“We bred Queen Supreme and sold her at the Goffs Orby Sale,” recalls Hassett, who keeps a nine-strong broodmare band at Monksland Stables in County Waterford.

“She was very impressive in the Paddock Stakes and she’d be our first homebred runner at the Breeders’ Cup if she makes it there.”

Jehan Malherbe of Form Bloodstock sourced Queen Supreme from Monksland as a E130,000 yearling, with Mike de Kock training the chestnut filly for a partnership led by Jessica Slack’s Mauritzfontein Stud.

Queen Supreme has now won five of her seven starts in South Africa with Callan Murray in the plate for four of those including the Paddock Stakes.

The global run of success for Monskland Stables was underpinned when Commanding, a threeyear-old Camacho colt also bred by Hassett, landed the UAE 2,000 Guineas Trial at Meydan earlier this month for trainer Satish Seemar.

Commanding is now two from three at Meydan having been acquired by his owner Nasir Askar for E55,000 at last year’s Tattersalls Ireland Goresbridge Breeze-Up Sale.

“It’s great for a small breeder like ourselves,” says Hassett. “It’s nice to have the good days because you’ll have enough of the bad days.

“It’s a family affair with Clodagh and myself, and our three children – Maebh, Orla and Richie – are all interested in the horses.”

Hassett purchased Call Later from Gerry Mullins for E26,000 at the 2008 Goffs February Sale and has snce bred eight foals from her.

Remarkably the first six have all won – three of those with stakes wins to their names – with Queen Supreme joined by Be Ready, a son of New Approach who landed the Listed Flying Scotsman Stakes at Doncaster, and Call Me Handsome, a son of Kodiac who struck in the Listed Heatherlie Stakes at Caulfield.

Not long after her purchase, Call Later received a significant pedigree update as her Chester House half-sister Ventura went on to become a four-time Grade 1 winner in North America and ran second to Informed Decision in the 2009 Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf on her penultimate start.

“Call Later has been a very lucky mare for us – we had offers to sell her at that time and I wouldn’t,” recalls Hassett.

“Her Kodiac colt Call Me Handsome sold very well as a yearling at Goffs, where he made E325,000. Be Ready was also a very good horse and showed high-class form at two.

“She’s in foal to Zoffany and we have a Caravaggio yearling filly out of her, as well as her three-year-old Kodiac filly Merci Layan, who we will cover this year.”

Ana Shababiya, the first daughter of Call Later and a three-time winner in handicap company, has already shown early promise as a broodmare.

Her first foal, the Authorized colt Emirates Flyer, has won twice for his owner-breeder Ahmad Al Shaikh and earned a Racing Post Rating of 93.

On a possible trip to the States for his flying filly, a typically prudent trainer Mike de Kock suggested that Queen Supreme be given an opportunity to earn her stripes. “I’m not convinced that it was the strongest Paddock Stakes renewal we have seen,” he added.

A traditional crowd spectacle on Sun Met day as the start is in front of the main stand, the R350 000 New Turf Gr2 Western Cape Stayers is a 2800m test of stamina, courage and heart.

His previous best is a playback from way back! Karl Neisius, who piloted Grand Jete for Eric Sands at his best previous result when second in the 2002 Met, turned 63 on Monday.

So is Rainbow Bridge ready after a hard race in the Queen’s Plate?

“He got caught in the front with Hawwaam and they were fighting head to head for about 600m so it was a great effort for him to still stay on for third. So we had to ease back on him a little after the race, but he has now come well, I am very happy with him,” said Sands in a report.

Rainbow Bridge rider Ryan Moore was in Florida last Saturday to ride in the Pegasus World Cup, where he finished second on the Aidan O’Brien-trained Magic Wand, he then finished second on Monday on the KW Lui-trained More Than This in the Hong Kong Classic Mile at Sha Tin’s Chinese New Year meeting, and was riding work in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday ahead of the US$20 Million Saudi Cup on 29 February.

Sir Michael – faces a quality field

R200 000 City Of Cape Town Gr3 POLITICIAN STAKES at Kenilworth this Saturday

Politicians & Power With names like Twist Of Fate, Doublemint and Jackson on the honour roll, the R200 000 City Of Cape Town Gr3 Politician Stakes is a notebook race for some potential big names of tomorrow.

There looks to be some serious talent lurking in the 2020 renewal.

T

T

he City Of Cape Town could not have chosen a more aptly named race to open their sponsorship account with Western Cape Racing and they shouldn’t be disappointed with the quality of contest that is served up by the 3yo set weights contest.

While Justin Snaith and Brett Crawford saddle seven of the eleven runners between them, it is their Milnerton colleague Dean Kannemeyer that saddles the SP top-rated Sir Michael for Gaynor Rupert’s Drakenstein team. Sir Michael, a promising son of the ill-fated Kingsbarns showed good early form to the likes of Viva Rio and has won 2 of his 7 starts. He appeared to enjoy the extra last time when staying on strongly to be beaten 1.50 lengths by Saint West.

The lightly raced Late At Night is the first of the Brett Crawford quartet. He could be held

R150 000 Wesgro SUMMER JUVENILE S. (L) Kenilworth this Saturday

Rain Looks Likely!

H Pray For Rain – runaway winner last time

by stablemate Bag Of Tricks on his last start.

Anton Marcus partners Dynasty’s good-looking grey son for Ridgemont Racing. He was only 2,25 lengths behind year older Met runner More Magic (who gave him 8kgs) last time and has won over the 1800m.

Another Crawford runner, Parterre relished the 2000m last when running onw ell to beat Tillieangus by a length. He meets the latter on a kilo better terms here.

Top-rated runner is Viking Moon, who ran a decent race in the Cape Guineas when fading late to finish just over 5 lengths off Kilindini. A stakes winner in the Eastern Cape as a 2yo, he has been specifically prepared for the extra 200m here. Greg Cheyne said that he galloped him a fortnight back and he worked well.

If he settles and gets the trip, he must be a competitive runner.

Super Silvano is the most experienced of the eleven runners and has held his form well in the handicaps.

Snaith’s R1 million Nationals graduate Bayberry will enjoy the increase in trip and may just have needed his last run when failing to show behind Cabo da Cruz over 1400m.

Tillieangus could marginally be held by stablemate Silver Host and riding arrangements suggest that to be likely. That said, this full brother to Black Arthur has the form to challenge.

Vaughan Marshall’s recent course and distance maiden winner It’s Complex has drawn against the paint and is clearly enjoying the step up in trip. He could be anything.

Third of the Snaith trio, Silver Host is a R2,6 million National Yearling Sale graduate and a course and distance winner of two of his last three starts, ranks as a serious threat.

Glen Kotzen’s Sockeroo won his maiden at his third start but then failed to follow through in a lowly rated handicap next time. The son of Byword is sure to prefer the 1800m.

It’s a classy competitive field with a host of likely winners. We are leaning towards Sir Michael – but its more open than that.

The first leg of a projected R1,6 million Place Accumulator, the Wesgro R150 000 Listed Summer Juvenile Stakes gives the stars of tomorrow a chance to strut their stuff on a big day.

istory shows that the fairer sex hold the edge over the boys over the past decade and it would hardly surprising to see them make it a double after Candice Bass-Robinson’s Miss Honey beat Emerald Band last year.

Dennis Drier’s Pray For Rain was awestruck at his first time at the races in December when beaten just under two lengths over the 800m

by Joseph Barry. It was a different story two weeks ago when he came out shunting over Saturday’s course and distance and stormed clear to beat Bowie by 10,25 lengths. A repeat of that performance will see him go very close.

Dad’s Catch is the only two-time winner in the race. The daughter of Captain Of All has run on smartly at both her starts under Bernard Fayd’herbe and the fact that the leading heavyweight stays loyal is a good sign.

Twice raced maiden Thumbs Up was beaten 5,25 lengths by Dad’s Catch last time and is 2kgs better off – perhaps not enough to turn the tables.

Erik The Red hails from the Snaith yard – winners of this race for fives years in a row from 2012 to 2016.

After a disappointing debut where he ran green, he bounced back to beat Thomas Henry by 4,75 lengths next time out.

Thomas Henry is 3kgs better off with Erik The Red. Captain’s Flo is the first of the Piet Botha runners. She beat Thomas Henry on her 900m debut in November by 1,25 lengths but is now 3kgs worse off.

Stuck On You was beaten 5,75 lengths by Erik The Red last time and is now 3kgs better off with her stablemate.

Atkinson Grimshaw looks held on a disappointing first run.

Gauteng visitor Sarah – set for a big payday

Gr1 winner Got The Greenlight – class act

R5 million THE CTS 1200 at Kenilworth this Saturday

R18 Million Up For Grabs

W

What a way to start a potential R18 million Pick 6 lifechanger! Twenty horses, including some smart raiders from Gauteng and KZN, chasing a R2,5 million golden carrot down the Kenilworth 1200m straight.

e are not going to debate the merits or demerits of sales linked races and these look to be the end of the line - for now anyway – of the $1 million dollar incentive spawned all those years ago to attract buyers from near and far. So let’s enjoy them while we can.

Warren Kennedy and Paul Peter have been in a rich vein of form in Gauteng and KZN and the duo will be looking to take the Cape by storm.

Their cracking What A Winter filly Sarah – at one point the highest rated 3yo in the country – is very fast and has some fair form in mixed company. She finished only 2,50 lengths behind African Warrior in the Gr2 Umkhomazi Stakes on Super Saturday and comes in here having won 3 of her last 4 starts – and very fit.

Mike De Kock’s Alramz is the highest rated runner in the race, and while he is yet to follow up on his maiden victory on debut in April, his feature form suggests that he is a horse to be taken very seriously. This will be his first run at Kenilworth but he should be right thereabouts and gets the blinkers for the first time.

De Kock also saddles two capable sorts in Vaseem and the Monaco Million Maiden winner, Battleoftrafalgar. Vaseem put up a cracking showing in the Listed Secretariat Stakes when stretching Leopold all the way to the wire. A repeat of that effort could see him

fight out the top cheque honours.

Sean Tarry has enjoyed great success in these sales races and he saddles the newly blinkered Putontheredlight. While he showed signs of promise as a 2yo, his 3yo season has not proven flattering. He was beaten over 9 lengths in the Cape Guineas but could well be better down the straight track.

His stablemate Pure State was an end-toend winner of the CTS Ready To Run Stakes but failed to show in his last start in the Cape Guineas.

The Ashley Fortune yard have freshened up Invidia in advance of his run on Saturday and have told the Sporting Post that we can put a line through his last disappointing effort. At best he is a major contender for honours.

The enigmatic General Franco has been an unwitting newsmaker by virtue of his mixed performances since his sensational debut win nine months ago. He would need to up his game to win here.

Sophomore Sprint winner Three Two Charlie has smart course and distance form and there is little to choose between him and Cartel Captain on their last clash.

A race to go as wide as possible in the Pick 6 with chances to the raiding bunch of Sarah and the De Kock trio, as well as Invidia. Greg Cheyne was fairly bullish about Three Two Charlie when we chatted to him this week.

R5 million THE CTS 1600 at Kenilworth this Saturday

Green Means Go

A

The joint richest race on the big afternoon, the R5 Million CTS 1600 has attracted a quality field and should be one of the most hotly contested races on the Met day programme.

rare visitor to the Cape, Gauteng veteran Joey Soma will fancy his chances of banking the big cheque courtesy of his Gr1 Premiers Champion Stakes winner Got The Greenlight. The Nadeson Park product was rested five months after his 2yo season and produced a quiet effort on his return, when clearly in need of it. The joint highest rated runner in the race he must be classed as the one to beat if coping on his first attempt on a left-handed track.

Justin Snaith has a handful of runners headed by the Trippi colt, Wild Coast, who ran on for 4th and 3,8 lengths behind Kilindini in the Cape Guineas. He will no doubt be given every chance from his wide draw by Bernard Fayd’herbe and will be running at them late.

His stablemate Sachdev has pulled a far more favourable draw but finished over 4 lengths behind Wild Coast in the Cape Guineas. If we ignore that last run, his penultimate second behind King of Gems in the Concord Cup brings him into the picture.

Vaughan Marshall’s Cane Lime ‘N Soda was baulked in the Guineas when 1,25 lengths behind Sachdev. He is probably a bit better than that and had a shocking draw to overcome that day.

Sean Tarry has three runners in the race, headed by the Pomodoro filly, Invisible, who

jumps from the pole position draw. Ryan Moore warms up for his Met engagement but she looks to have a minor place chance at best.

Tarry also saddles On My Mind, a runaway Vaal maiden last season, who has run three fair races down in the Cape.

Candice Bass-Robinson’s Langermanwinner Snow Report has not produced the goods so far this season and will need to show more to win this.

His stablemate Gold Medal does not have the worst post-maiden form and even though held by the likes of Count Jack, could earn.

Third of the Bass-Robinson trio, reserve runner Turn It Up Harvey now gets a run but would be something of a shock as a maiden taking on a Gr1 winner.

Glen Kotzen’s duo of Prince Of Persia and Dynastic Light don’t have much to recommend either of them. However, both are well-bred individuals and must be better than their current form suggests.

Brett Crawford’s Count Jack is another who is very widely drawn but has won three of his five starts and is a colt on the up. He loves the course and distance and should be right there.

Got The Greenlight is the one to beat and will be a popular choice ahead of Snaith’s duo of Wild Coast and Sachdev.

Fancy A Favourite?

Met Master

Candice Bass-Robinson is yet to win the Met and has two longshots in Majestic Mozart and More Magic representing her on Saturday. What a fairytale if she could do it and give her Dad Mike Bass a memorable early 75th birthday gift for Sunday. Mike, the leading Met trainer of the new millenium, won with Bunter Barlow ridden by Glen Hatt in 2001, and then four times on the trot from 2007 to 2010. Pocket Power won three of those and his sister River Jetez, again with Hatt up, won in 2010.

Aussie Rules?

JUMP A JOCK Only five of the fourteen jockeys riding on Saturday have won the Met previously.

Anton Marcus (Hawwaam) and Bernard Fayd’Herbe (Bunker Hunt) have ridden three winners while Piere Strydom (Head Honcho), Greg Cheyne (More Magic) and Aldo Domeyer (Twist Of Fate) have each won it once.

Eight-times SA champion trainer Mike de Kock saddled the last favourite to win the Met – that was the champion filly Igugu all the way back in 2012. The pressure is back on ‘Magic’ Mike on Saturday – Hawwaam carries the favourite mantle.

Do you have to spend money to buy a Met runner? Not really, it seems. Of those that went through a sales ring, Do It Again was the priciest with his NYS tag of R1,1 million. On the bright side he has already banked R8,4 million. The ‘cheapie’ is Twist Of Fate, who cost all of R20 000 off the CTS Yearling Sale. He's earned R3 175 000.

Twist Of Fate

World Class

Mauritzfontein’s Kingmambo sire Ideal World has the best Met strike rate in recent times of local sires.

He sired Smart Call (2016) and Rainbow Bridge (2019). The latter bids for the double on Saturday.

Sires with past winners and 2020 representatives include Captain Al, who sired Hill Fifty Four (2014).

He has three runners. Dynasty produced Futura to win in 2015 and he also has three flagbearers.

Silvano has high hopes for Hawwaam to give him another after Martial Eagle (2013). Jet Master has five Met winners to his name – his son Master Of My Fate has Twist Of Fate on Saturday.

Mike de Kock and Brett Crawford are the winningmost Met trainers in the class of 2020 with three winners each. Vaughan Marshall, who saddles One World, has won it twice – he is also the ‘oldest’ of the winning group – La Fabulous having scored in 1996. Justin Snaith and Eric Sands have one Met winner each on their cv’s – and are the two most recent winners.

Owning Up Sabine Plattner, Bernard Kantor and Suzanne Hattingh of Chrigor Stud each have two runners on Saturday. Mrs Plattner won it previously with Martial Eagle (2013) and Angus (2003). Piere Strydom rode the latter, and he wears the famous Plattner flag again – this time on Head Honcho on Saturday.

Australian-bred gallopers have won the Met three times in the past eight renewals – Igugu (2012), Whisky Baron (2017) and Oh Susanna (2018). The Aussies have only one representative on Saturday in the shape of Pierro’s son Roy Had Enough. Frank Robinson’s runner also carries the sole KZN flag. He was a A$95,000 Magic Millions purchase.

What’s It Cost?

PICK A TRAINER

Martial Eagle

Paddock Power

Only two breeders are represented by more than one runner on Saturday. Wilgerbosdrift & Mauritzfontein have the half-brothers Rainbow Bridge and Hawwaam, while Ridgemont Highlands will be shouting for Eyes Wide Open and More Magic.

Sex?

Four members of the fairer sex have won the Met in the 21st century. They are sadly not represented in Saturday’s field.

Interestingly, given the fact that they have avoided the unkindest cut of all, six of the fourteen runners are potential stallions.

Smart Alec?

Some trivia to impress your guests if the conversation dries up on Saturday. What do Alec Laird, Yogas Govender, Sean Tarry and Geoff Woodruff have in common? They are past winners of this race in the 21st century who are still training – but have no runner on Saturday.

he 43 year old, who rode his 100th winner of the season last Wednesday at Fairview, chatted to the Sporting Post and reflected back on some wonderful days.

In the past decade his 2009 Durban July success on Big City Life, and then Whisky Baron’s perfectly planned big race assault that gave brothers Craig and Ross Kieswetter an early dizzying high in a fiercely competitive sport, are two that stand out.

“For a jockey every win is important as every horse has an owner, trainer, breeder and stable staff working hard towards a goal. But these major days are extra special. Whisky Baron was a classically planned team effort every step of the way. A ‘soft’ approach that worked perfectly. And then on that sunny Saturday afternoon after 4pm, we were in the starting stalls and then it was all over to me and the Aussie. When he pulled me through late and the crowd erupted, it was a spine tingling moment. What a horse and what an incredible honour and privilege to give the Kieswetters their first major race success and Brett Crawford his third Met win.”

Former England international Craig Kieswetter backed up Greg’s description of the magic moment at the time.

“It is a very different feeling. I was very lucky to play cricket internationally, but the Met win topped it all. To celebrate it with my family made it an even prouder moment.”

The Australian-bred Whisky Baron’s Met success made it five straight wins after his gelding six month earlier. While many doubted the Manhattan Rain galloper’s ability to takes on the likes of Legal Eagle, he proved them all so wrong.

Greg rides longshot Captain Al gelding More Magic – around 66 to 1 with Hollywoodbets when we last looked - for owners Jagessar Limited and trainer Candice Bass-Robinson on Saturday.

“It’s a class field and the top-rated quartet speak for themselves. On the weight-for-age terms of the race, More Magic is not well in. But he is a young relatively unexposed horse on the way up and I believe he has the capability to run above his rating.

I have ridden him twice previously.

At his last run in the Peninsula Handicap, he had no luck in running from a wide draw but still stayed on well and was beaten 2,55 lengths

by Justin Snaith’s highly regarded Belgarion. This is the big league – but we won’t go down without our best shot,” he added enthusiastically.

Greg said he could not complain about his 7 draw.

“I am not concerned about the pace either. There are a few horses who could go up and do the work. I expect it to be fair and Head Honcho could well be the pacesetter – he ran from the front last year when staying on for third. But conditions on the day, from the weather to luck at the gates, can change plans in the blink of an eye.”

He says More Magic is a fit and versatile horse. In terms of race placement, this would give him more options as the contest unfolded.

We asked him to step into the shoes of a member of the public looking to have a bet or win the R8 million quartet on the race.

“Rainbow Bridge is the title holder. He has done nothing wrong and his

prep looks to have gone really well. He is the horse to beat in my book.”

And does Ryan Moore influence that decision at all?

“Look, there is absolutely no harm in having the world’s current second highest rated jockey in the driving seat!” he smiles.

We asked Greg whether he had ridden with the British star and if he felt Moore’s lack of familiarity with the Kenilworth track would be of any consequence.

“When I rode Whisky Baron in England in the Shadwell Joel Stakes,

Ryan rode in the same race. And we have ridden in Hong Kong. As for his unfamiliarity with Kenilworth, one only has to look at his international Gr1 track record to understand how top guys adapt to conditions. He has won Gr1 races in both hemispheres at a variety of tracks.”

A Big Day Ahead!

Beyond his Met engagement, Greg has 10 other rides on Sun Met Day: Race 1 - Bad Habit runs in the Maiden Plate (F & M): I have not ridden her previously but she is consistent. Even if one or two others may have stronger form, I expect her to be competitive and she looks a fair each way bet.

Race 3 - Eternal Hope runs in the Listed Summer Juvenile Stakes: Alan Greeff has had success in this race in the past. Eternal Hope won easily on her Fairview debut in good time. But given the varying rates of improvement, the 2yo form is very difficult to unravel. I can tell you that she is a nice filly and won’t disgrace herself.

Race 4 - Three Two Charlie runs in the CTS 1200: He is a horse with a nice future. Looking at his recent form- he was not ready for the 1400m Cape Classic but ran a decent race. Then he was run off his feet in the Need For Speed Sprint last time. This is the course and distance he won the Sophomore over – he is perfectly suited to the track and trip. He must be included in all calculations.

Race 5 - Sovereign Secret runs in the CTS 1600: She is a beautifully bred filly and we have a decent draw in our favour. On paper she appears held, but I would be happy to get her to earn a cheque – they pay up to fifth.

Race 6 - Viking Moon runs in the Gr3 Politician Stakes: He is an interesting runner. I thought he may be a sprinter - I won the Nursery on him last season. He stayed on smartly for 6th and about 6 lengths off Kilindini in the Cape Guineas last time. The handicapper liked that run too as he went up from a 105 to a 109. He has been prepared for the extra 200m here and I galloped him a fortnight back. He worked well. If he settles and gets the trip, he is a competitive runner.

Race 7 - Bold Respect runs in the Gr1 Cape Flying Championship: He is a Gr1 winning sprinter and a lovely horse. I rode him for the first time at his last start. We finished

3rd behind Chimichuri Run and ahead of Kasimir. That was a good prep. But one only has to look at the likes of unbeaten Run Fox Run and the - now fitter - defending champion Kasimir to see that the race is very competitive.

I nevertheless expect Bold Respect to give a good account of himself.

Race 8 - Kelpie runs in the Gr1 Majorca Stakes: This is a quality race as it always is. I have won three races on Kelpie. She is a smart filly and one of only two 3yo’s in the race. She is fit and nicely drawn, so ticks the boxes. I would like to see a top three finish from her.

My stablemate Front And Centre is the horse to beat

Race 10 - Crome Yellow runs in Gr2 Western Cape Stayers: I’d regard him as one of the most improved horses in the Cape. He has been maintaining a consistent line of form and we only went down narrowly in the Chairmans last time.

Tries the 2800m for the first time and is poorly handicapped here. So he is up against it. But he is a real trier.

Race 11 - What A Flirt runs in a Maiden Plate (F & M): I have ridden her at all four starts. She needed her last run and moved up late before tiring. But she pulled up well and she must go close here.

Race 12 - Congo Compaq runs in an MR 85 Handicap: I rode him earlier on. He won his maiden at his fifth start last time. So this is first time out of the maidens. He is still an immature horse.

Probably a back end of the quartet chance.

Vorster Out For Three Months Barend Vorster will be out of action for some time with a confirmed broken collarbone after an accident at Moonee Valley on Friday.

HE HAD JUST asked his mount, Manuel, to pick it up and he was responding.

But when, with 275m to travel, Vorster moved him out, at that precise moment Dan Stackhouse on Begood Toyour Mother and James Winks on Ashlor moved their mounts too.

The timing of the three individual ncidents was astonishing. And poor old Manuel just had no where to go while running at top speed. He went down on his nose in a very heavy fall throwing Vorster just as hard to the turf.

The jockey had trouble breathing and complained of chest pains for a lengthy period of time after the crash. He was taken to hospital and x-rays confirmed the break. He will be sidelined for at least 3 months.

Manuel won the Gr 1 CF Orr Stakes and was also a winner in South Australia and stakes placed in NSW. He was euthenized.

Gavin Lerena steers Green Laser to a smooth win

Hong Kong Lockdown

Gr3 SEA COTTAGE STAKES Turffontein last Saturday

Lerena’s Sage Advice

T

With the more fancied pair of Spero Optima and Mohican folding to nothing, the rampant Gavin Lerena got the Robbie Sage-trained Green Laser to launch halfway down the home straight and register his maiden stakes success with an eyecatching victory in the R200 000 Gr3 Sea Cottage Stakes at Turffontein last Saturday.

rying the 1800m for the first time and bred to go a trip, Green Laser burst through a gap at the 350m after the grey filly Snow Palace had set the fractions.

With both Mohican and Spero Optima given every chance as they tracked the leader all the way around and down the strip, Green Laser (13-2) was the standout as he burst through from two lengths off in fifth and ran on powerfully beat recent maiden winner Cornish Pomodoro (11-1) by 2,25 lengths.

It was Lerena’s third winner of the afternoon.

Imperial Ruby (40-1) ran a cracker from a wide draw to run third a half length further back,

with the rest well beaten and Whiskytangofoxtrot (44-1) rounding off a R7 769 quartet.

The fancied Mohican (5-1), who apparently needs time to mature, and joint topweight Spero Optima (8-10) ran 17 and 23 lengths off the winner respectively.

Placed third in the Listed Secretariat Stakes last time, Green Laser, a R100 000 National Yearling Sales graduate, has now won 2 races with 3 places from 7 starts for stakes of R244 150.

Bred by Varsfontein Stud, Green Laser is a son of SA’s leading first crop sire of 2015/16 Gimmethegreenlight (More Than Ready), out of the Parade Leader mare, Dance Domain.

Handicappers Report

Green Laser – Up To 96 The Robbie Sage-trained Green Laser has had his rating upped from 94 to 96 after his win in the Gr3 Sea Cottage Stakes at Turffontein on Saturday.

The Handicappers took this view of the race due to the fact that Snow Palace and Spero Optima failed to run to form and consequently used Green Laser to the nett figure of 84 which he achieved when finishing third in the Listed Secretariat Stakes (also against three-year-olds) at his most recent start.

With the WFA differential between the 1400m of the Secretariat Stakes and the 1800m of the Sea Cottage Stakes, this has Green Laser running to a gross rating of 96 and as such, that was the figure which he has been allocated.

It should be noted that Green Laser was weighted to beat Cornish Pomodoro, Imperial Ruby and Whiskytangofoxtrot at these terms.

Runner-up Cornish Pomodoro goes up from 87 to 91, while third placed Imperial Ruby was raised from 86 to 94. Fourth finisher Whiskytangofoxtrot goes up from 82 to 84.

Two horses were given a rating’s drop, with Virtuosa being trimmed from 96 to 95 and Tiger’s Rock dropping from 89 to 85 Press release issued by NHA on Monday 27 January 2020

Head Start

Former top trainer and present day Tellytrack manager Dominic Zaki’s chirp on last Saturday's morning show on Tellytrack was a gem. Previewing the sixth race, he said: “If I had to put my head on a block I'd go for Anne Boleyn."

Show host Alistair Cohen was uncharacteristically slow on the retort. Anne Boleyn, Queen of England in the 1500’s, was the second wife of King Henry VIII. Their marriage and her sad end made her a key figure in the start of the English Reformation As for Dominic Zaki, he is missing in action as Anne Boleyn, sent off favourite, ran fourth.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club have implemented additional security and logistical controls to reduce the risk of spreading the Wuhan coronavirus.

THIS PAST MONDAY’S Lunar New Year race meeting at Sha Tin went ahead as scheduled, but the fans were effectively locked out. The meeting is traditionally one of the biggest on the calendar – last year 105,716 attended across the two tracks – but only patrons with existing bookings, owners with horses running and staff were allowed on course.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club said in a statement that they have been closely following the development of the novel coronavirus.

The Club thus carefully reviewed arrangements for Chinese New Year Raceday, taking account of community views as well as the interests of customers and employees. They said that they were particularly aware that Chinese New Year Raceday was a very important part of community life during the Chinese New Year holidays, providing racing and betting entertainment to around one million racing fans.

The cancellation of the Chinese New Year Raceday would have therefore not only impacted those

who choose to visit the racecourses but all those who stayed at home or elsewhere to enjoy the races on TV or via other platforms. Indeed, some 800,000 fans, that is the overwhelming majority of fans, hold a betting account with the Club and were able to participate in racing outside the racecourses via online and phone platforms. In addition, the Chinese New Year Raceday created jobs for as many as 11000 part-time employees and provides additional income for duty racing staff. Any cancellation of the race meeting would therefore have had an adverse economic impact on all stakeholders.

All customers and staff received temperature screening before entry and will be advised to wear medical masks.

The above arrangements for racecourses and OCBBs will continue for all subsequent race meetings until further notice. The Club will continue to monitor the situation of the novel coronavirus on a day-to-day basis and in line with this will determine if further measures are needed.

THE MET

A Met Double . . .Very Rare!

Can 2019 champion Rainbow Bridge emulate the likes of Pocket Power, Politician, Zamora and Royal Chaplain, and write his name into the Met history books on Saturday?

Back-to-back Met winners are usually once-in-a-lifetime horses.

While Pocket Power was the King Of Kenilworth and won the great race four years on the trot from 2006 to 2009, we have to go back thirty years Pocket Power won The Met 4 years on the trot to the great Politician prior to that. And Zamora and Royal Chaplain won the Met during the second World War – so we are talking a different generation for many of us.

Every Met week, the Sporting Post gets requests to publish the clip of that extraordinary 1979 finish where the late Bert Hayden extricated Politician from an almost impossible position to get up in the shadow f the post to catch Ralph Rixon’s game filly Festive Season.

It’s a finish imprinted on many a fan’s mind as one of the greatest we have seen.

Politician won the 2000m contest for the first time in 1978 – the year J&B stepped in as sponsor and the J&B Met was born.

He was the boom horse of South African racing and a horse the public wanted to see. The crowds streamed into the course drawn by the aura of this all-conquering athlete and he never let them down. With ‘Big Race’ Bertie Hayden in the irons, he cruised home by 3,25 lengths.

With a stake of R50 000 that year and a sensational finish, the large crowd went hopme satisfied and wating more. The foundation was thus set for the development of the J&B Met – on its’ termination in 2016 one of the longest running sports sponsorships in our history.

Syd Laird returned in 1979 with Politician and jockey Bertie Hayden and South Africa watched in awe as possibly the greatest performance by a thoroughbred in South African history was played out before an even greater crowd than the year before. Carrying top weight again – this time under 58,5kg – Politician became boxed as they swept into the home straight. There was nowhere for him to go and with 200m of the race left the chances of him getting a run let alone winning looked impossible.

But the strapping chestnut was not to be denied and virtually finding his own way through the horses ahead of him he produced an explosive burst of breathtaking acceleration to catch the champion filly Festive Season just short of the post and beat her by half a length.

As Hayden remarked afterwards: “I couldn’t ride him in the end, I had all this horse under me and we had nowhere to go. There was nothing I could do so I just threw the reins at him and let him do what he could. It was just amazing, he took off and fought his way through to the front.”

And trainer Syd Laird, nicknamed “The Bear” and not one too liberal with words of praise, said Politician “combined his strength with a great action and terrific fighting spirit to be a truly outstanding racehorse.”

It was a performance not seen before or since.

The first recorded winner of the Metropolitan Mile, as it was originally known in 1883, was Sir Hercules and, while the race had a chequered existence for many years in the early 1900’s, by the 1960’s it was firmly established as one of the ‘big three’ races in the country along with the Vodacom Durban July and the Summer Cup in Gauteng.

Win, lose or draw on Saturday, Hawwaam will be seen in the flesh by his SA fans for the very last time.

Plans to take the star colt to Australia right after the Met have had to be altered, following a recent change of rules in Australia.

Hawwaam will now be exported to the UK, via Mauritius.

Mike de Kock confirmed the news and explained on his website: “The Australians now require runners travelling from South Africa to spend six months in the UK en route to Australia.

Residency in UK was 60 days, this changed three months ago to 180 days and I have no idea why. Hawwaam will go into quarantine two weeks after the Met, then on to Mauritius where he will spend three months and then on to the UK for a further six months,” he said.

“The change of Australian protocol has hurt our contingency plans and business plan for setting up an operation in Australia. In effect it will take Hawwaam more than nine months to get to Australia. He will be in training in the UK for his period of residency there and will be entered to race. After the six-month period it will be up to Sheikh Hamdan to decide whether he still wants Hawwaam to go to Australia.”

Mike is not sure whether he would continue training the four-year-old in England.

Meanwhile, Hawwaam remains favourite for the Sun Met and is looking good despite his disappointing run in the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate.

Mike’s advice? “Just put a line through that race. Things did not go his way.”

He added: “The Sun Met betting is as ridiculous as the Queen’s Plate betting.

Given Vardy’s form and impressive manner of winning, how is he not favourite for the race?”

World Record

Justin Snaith will saddle 35 runners on Met day, including Do It Again and Bunker Hunt in the day’s headliner.

When Snaith won what is thought to be a world- record equalling eight races on Met day 2016, in his podium speech after Baritone’s win in the last of the afternoon he stated he’d gladly swap the eight wins for a victory in the Met, resolving to apply himself even harder.

It took him two years, but on 27 January 2018, he did it, not Snaith won 8 races on Met Day 2016 - equaling a only winning his first Sun Met world record with Oh Susanna, but saddling five winners on the day, including three Gr1’s. A daughter of Street Cry, Oh Susanna was the first 3yo fairer sex winner of the Met in over a century!

Three-time Met-winning jockey Garth Puller was non-commital on whether hiring an overseas jockey to ride a fancied Sun Met contender was a good idea but he had no doubt about Ryan Moore’s ability to adapt to any horse or any track.

“He is a renowned rider and was voted by his peers as the best jockey in the world. I have watched him ride and he is definitely one of the five best jockeys in the world.

No new track or horse will make any difference to him. Whether it’s a good idea to bring him in instead of sticking to a rider who knows the horse I don’t know but it is up to the connections to decide. But Ryan Moore is not the sort of rider who is going to ride the horse blind, he will watch the re-runs and will probably give the horse a blow out on the Thursday before the race. But the draw is going to be very important. For a top jockey to find a good position from a good draw is a piece pf pie. He will also have more chance of overcoming a bad draw than a lesser jockey will. But the draw is nevertheless still very important.”

Kenilworth looks to be a difficult track to ride from the armchair and that is due to the amount of jostling which takes place before they finally settle into racing order.

However, Puller pointed out: “That has nothing to with the track or the fact that it’s a left hand track, it has all to do with the prevailing South-Easter. In fact horses are naturally much more suited to left hand tracks than right hand ones. You saddle from the left, hold the horse on its left, get on and off on the left and horses are generally much more comfortable leading with their left leg. The reason there is often a lot of jostling at Kenilworth is because jockeys want to find cover from the South Easterly wind, so they have that in mind from the jump and with everybody trying to hide from the wind the field takes some time to sort itself out.”

The pace also plays a big part.

In a good paced race it is easier for the wider drawn horses to slot in as there will likely be a few gaps opening. Those capable of running on from behind will also be happy to drop in behind horses. However, wide drawn horses who enjoy leading are disadvantaged by a fast early pace as they will have to use up a lot of fuel to get to the front.

Puller, who leads the KZN Trainers Championship at present, is Sands’ brother-in-law and spoke of the hard task the latter would have to get Rainbow Bridge to the race at his peak.

He said: “Rainbow Bridge pulled for a long way in the Queen’s Plate and yet still found enough to run on into third. So it was a great run but he had a very hard race and it is not going to be easy for Eric with just three weeks between that race and the Met.” 2005 - Garth Puller & Sean Tarry after Alastor's win

Lights On

at Hollywoodbets Greyville After a break of over a month, Friday night racing returns to Hollywoodbets Greyville, where an eight race programme is carded on the polytrack.

The meeting will also mark the last chance to build a kitty for Africa’s Richest Raceday, and our in-house tipsters have done their best to point you in the right direction.

Jimmy The Rich was ultra-impressive at Fairview last week. His value bet Jay’s Hawk and top bet Sunshine Mint both landed. His value bet was priced up at a whopping 16/1 with Hollywoodbets.

He has made Path To The Stars in the first race his value bet. She gets apprentice Thabiso Gumede in the saddle Jimmy The Rich’s top bet is War Office in race four with Ashton Arries aboard.

PeTeBe was also in top form as he tipped six winners at the Vaal last Thursday. He also tipped the Place Accumulator eight times at Turffontein last Saturday. It paid R1050-60. Do the sums!

His advice last week was to follow him with the exotics and based on his current form, that should be taken note of as we go into another bumper weekend with massive pools expected.

After racing on Friday, all roads will lead to Kenilworth, where the Sun Met Raceday will take centre stage with 12 top quality races carded.

Both our in-house tipsters have made their best bet the Mike de Kock-trained Queen Supreme in the Gr1 Bidvest Majorca Stakes. With the Pick 6 pool estimated to get to R18 million, she could be the banker of the day.

Gold Circle Honour A Legend

T

Gold Circle will honour the memory of a late legend of the saddle at the Hollywoodbets Greyville racemeeting on Friday evening.

he 1981 Durban July winning rider Jimmy Anderson passed away at the King Edward Hospital on the evening of Sunday 22 December 2019.He was 71 and had been ill for some time.

Described as one of the greatest judges of pace by a friend and champion rider of the same era, Garth Puller, Jimmy Anderson was an old school horseracing character who lived his life on and off the track at full pace.

Born at Addington Hospital on 18 August 1948, he grew up in the working class suburb of Sherwood, Durban.

He came out of his time in Rhodesia in 1969 and was champion jockey as an apprentice in 1969 and a few more times in the 1970’s.

Jimmy rode for many a year in Johannesburg until visiting trainer Roy Magner, travelled to Turffontein from the then Rhodesia.

He met Jimmy, was impressed by the young man and offered him a career back in Rhodesia. The rest is African turf history!

Jimmy rode in 6 internationals against the best in the world, representing Rhodesia and the great Lester Piggott said “Jimmy is the one jockey he didn’t want to meet in a finish.”

He won Rhodesia’s biggest race, the Castle Tankard and also did the double with the Queen Elizabeth stakes on Celean in 1969.

His partnership with Sir Raymond Stockhill and Benny Loebel was the stuff of dreams and horses like Lucky Joe and Numerator come to mind. He also had many an entertaining tussle on the track with Ivan Moore.

On returning to South Africa he rode as a freelance and in the latter part of his career he was stable jockey to Ivan Pickering, who also had the champion Jeff Lloyd on his books.

While Jimmy rode countless feature winners, his major claim to fame was winning the Rothmans Durban July Handicap in 1981 aboard Big Charles for Dr Louis Naude.He also went on to win another five consecutive big races in the following weeks, clearly a purple patch in his career.

According to his family, Jimmy had many friends – some close and some ‘less close’.

His family was always first in his life and as they were not very wealthy and lived average lifestyles, Jimmy was known as a kind soul who would always help out financially.

According to his son Ashley, close friends that come to mind were from the ‘brotherhood of jockeys’ and included Gerald Turner, Bert Hayden, Jeff Lloyd, David Payne, Garth Puller, Muis Roberts, Roddy England, Dennis McCreedy and Basil Marcus.

Trainers Ivan Pickering, Roy Magner and the late Ronnie Sheehan also got a mention, while his personal friends were Morton Smith, Butch Erikkson, Phil

Exports: Good News On Eve Of Met The long-awaited European Union (EU) audit date for the South African Bloodstock Industry has been announced.

Officials from the EU will be conducting the audit between 20 April and 1 May 2020.

The South African Equine Health & Protocols (SAEHP) confirmed on Monday via MD Adrian Todd that the dates were finalised last Friday and said: “The South African Department of Agriculture were officially notified by the EU’s Food and Veterinary Office (FVO), the entity responsible for conducting audits.”

Todd expressed his delight and commented: “We’ve been planning this for many years and the announcement is a culmination of our efforts.

“To have finally reached this stage is a potential watershed for South African breeding and racing. It wouldn’t have been possible without working hand in hand with the South African government, and we thank them.

Todd explained the logistics of the audit last month, saying: “Audits in any sector seldom return flawless results. Nobody ever gets a 100% clear report. There will be additional recommendations from the EU team after the audit. They will send a report and we will implement what they suggest.

“I am 100% confident that the audit will be successful for us. We have done everything we can, everything humanly possible, to comply with what is needed.”

The question everybody is asking is what is the timeline?

Todd explained: "I would expect that once any additional recommendations have been implemented, we should be looking at the reinstatement of direct exports to the EU by September/October.”

Obituary: Brian Clive de Villiers

Jimmy Anderson Harmsworth, Leigh Hall, Felix Finch, Harry Cohen, Neville Melville and many more – and of course ‘many lady friends’.

In the latter part of the 1990’s, Jimmy fell ill and his riding career ended.

The advent on a trial basis of Harness racing in South Africa in 2009 gave him a second lease on life.

Jimmy rode in a few trial races but sadly the ‘chariots’ never really took off here – no doubt as a result of public apathy, unsuitable tracks and a limited horse population.

He decided to retire gracefully and spent the latter years of his life at Bartle House.

Jimmy is survived by his sister Irene, her husband Peter and daughter Merridy, as well as his brother Greg and wife Colleen, who live in Assagay. They also have stepdaughters Adrian and Ingrid.

Their son Jesse (Jimmy’s nephew) lives in New Zealand Jimmy’s son Ashley is married to Tina who have two daughters, Tayla 10 and Casey 4.

Jimmy’s daughter Heidi resides in the UK, and she has a daughter Jessica (Jimmy’s granddaughter), who is 22. Kate Wrathall was Jimmy’s first wife and the mother of Ashley and Heidi.

A memorial service was held on Friday 17 January.

An Old School Gentleman

B

Veteran horseman Brian de Villiers passed away at his daughter Cathy Beyers and husband Louis Beyers’ home in Port Elizabeth on Sunday, 19 January 2020.

He was 80 years old and had suffered from cancer of the stomach.

rian’s children made every effort to spend good quality time with him before he passed away whilst he was in Port Elizabeth. His son Shaun, who lives in the US, spoke to his father twice every day as he was not able to get to see him in time.

Born in East London on 12 June, 1939, Brian Clive de Villiers always adored horses. He started his career at the age of 12 as an apprentice jockey to trainer H.E. "Cookie" Amos in Cape Town, where he was associated with horses like Top Gallant and Grand Rapids.

Brian resided with the Amos family and was considered to be the son they never had, according to Irene de Villiers. He rode for Amos and various other trainers in the company of erstwhile top riders like Stanley Amos and Johnny Cawcutt before hanging up his boots in the late 1960s.

Brian became the assistant trainer to Cookie Amos until leaving his employ at the end of 1973 and moving to Johannesburg to set up his own training establishment, based at the old Newmarket training centre alongside Henry Eatwell, Jim Brady, Roy Unsworth and JF Coetzee.

Former trainer James Goodman recalls: “Brian and I were close since the day he started training. When I moved to Randjesfontein in the mid-1980s he was soon to follow.

Brian, Spike Lerena, Robbie Sage and I were the first four to set up camp at the North Rand Training Centre.

“Brian was a top man, a kind and humble individual with time for everyone. I never saw him agitated or angry once. He took everything in good spirits. He was a shrewd horseman too, he knew how to line his runners up for a

Brian de Villiers win, he was very good at that.

“One day Brian and I drove to Gosforth Park together, end of the 1980s. I had two runners I thought would win, one I remember was called Princess Titania. Brian had a horse in the last race of the day. I took a few Pick 6 bets and banked our three runners in various combinations, while Brian also took one on his own.

“As it happened all three of them arrived. However, I had a bad headache that day and wasn’t feeling well, I messed things up terribly. I filled in all my betting slips incorrectly and as a result didn’t win a penny! The Pick 6 paid a whopping R256,000 and Brian collected a full winning ticket. I was told over dinner that night that I looked so distressed my face had pulled to one side, it looked as if I had an awkward smile!”

Goodman said that Brian used the funds from his big win to start a restaurant with his son-in-law in Pretoria. “He enjoyed cooking and needed a break away from racing but the venture didn’t work out in the long run and he returned as a trainer.”

Brian trained on his own again for a while, then worked as assistant to Pat Shaw before Shaw left for Singapore. Later he was appointed

facilities manager at the North Rand Training Centre.

Brian trained a number of leading runners of his time, including the SA Oaks winner Seven Stars, champion sprinting fillies Panache and Marischal, Greensome, American Flyer, Affirmation, Royal Flush and Villandry.

He went out of his way to assist young apprentice jockeys starting their careers including multiple international champion Jeff Lloyd, the late, brilliant Lawrence Riley and later internationally well-performed Johnny Geroudis, multiple champion jockey of Mauritius.

Lloyd was distressed on hearing of Brian’s death and commented: “I am terribly sorry to hear of the passing of my first boss, Mr de Villiers. He was a wonderful gentleman and a boss that any young apprentice could hope for.

I am forever indebted to him as I believe he had a massive impact on how my career eventuated.

It saddens me that he will be will never be able to read my biography, he would’ve loved it.”

Lloyd rode his first of over 5,500 career winners on Panache (noted above), at the Vaal on January 1978, Cathy Beyers summed it up: “My father devoted his life to horseracing, one way or another.

We will miss you, our Pops. You were always someone we could depend on and look up to!”

Indeed, the entire racing fraternity will miss Brian de Villiers, one of the last remaining old-school gentlemen of the South African industry.

Brian leaves behind his children Shaun de Villiers, Cathy Beyers, Lynne Van Zyl and Graeme de Villiers, his grandchildren Michelle, Michael, Andre and Darryl, Travis and Jay, his wife Laura and his exwife Irene (a good friend).

A memorial service will be held on Friday, 31 January at 15h00, at Christ Church, 11th Road, Noordwyk, Midrand.

All are welcome to attend.

If The Saddle Fits

Jochen Schleese’s Des�ny Light Launch

O

There is a cute little cartoon captioned with the Richard Weiss quote "Dressage (although I'd extend that to include any equestrian pursuit) is the art of teaching the horse to carry you. Riding is the art of learning to be a good load to carry."

f course this applies literally as well as figuratively and part of learning to be a good load to carry is to remain curious, to not accept when things are not going well and to keep working to improve yourself, your riding and your horsemanship. It provided much food for thought at the launch of Jochen Schleese’s Destiny Lite training saddle at Turffontein last November.

I loved the science behind the saddle design, the meticulous way the team measured and custom fitted the saddle for each horse and above all, Jochen’s hands on approach throughout the process. However, while I went in with an open mind, I have seen a fair bit of ‘revolutionary’ gear in my time, and was not expecting to be overwhelmed.

Good thing humble pie comes with zero calories !

But let’s start at the beginning.

Who is Jochen Schleese?

A high level 3-day event rider, Jochen qualified for the European Championships in 1984, with ambitions for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics before his horse sadly went lame. It was a mysterious and intermittent lameness that no amount of diagnostics or veterinary advice could get to the bottom of and eventually the horse had to be retired. Years later, Jochen realised the lameness stemmed from damage caused by an ill-fitting saddle.

While devastating at the time, it was the event that would shape the rest of his life.

They say one person can make a difference, and everyone should try. Determined to advocate for the horse by improving saddle design and educating riders and equine professionals about correct saddle fit, put Jochen on the path to where he is today - and landed us all at Turffontein on a hot November afternoon.

With his competitive ambitions curtailed, Jochen threw his energies into pursuing his career as a saddler. He qualified as Europe’s youngest ever master saddler and went on to work at all the major saddle manufacturers worth mentioning. More recently, he has received recognition for acknowledging that male and female anatomy are entirely different in the saddle area and incorporated these important principles into the design and manufacture of his anatomically correct range of Schleese saddles. Having had the privilege of trying one, I can personally attest to the fact that the difference is mind-blowing.

Jochen is critically acclaimed for his book, “Suffering in Silence: The Saddle Fit Link To Physical and Psychological Trauma In Horses” and has distilled his decades of knowledge and quantified it into a formal methodology, which he teaches world-wide under the banner of Saddlefit4Life, his international equine ergonomist academy.

Now you are wondering what any of this has to do with you. As interesting as it all sounds, racehorses all train and race in the same saddles and one size fits all, right? Sadly no.

We spend all our time training and conditioning our horses so that they are able to carry weight over distance as fast and effectively as possible. With mere fractions of centimetres separating the winners from the also rans (and

the winner’s cheque from the rest), it makes sense to try and give our horses every possible advantage to develop and perform at their peak. As Thoroughbreds in training come in all ages, shapes, sizes and levels of soundness, fitness and development, it becomes clear that one type of saddle cannot possibly cater adequately to all.

Which brings us to the Destiny Light.

It would be impossible to describe everything that makes Jochen so incredibly good at what he does, but the key ingredient is considering the basic anatomy of both the horse as well as the rider when building and fitting a saddle.

The Science Bit Peter Gray wrote, "We have almost forgotten how strange a thing it is that so huge and powerful and intelligent an animal as a horse should allow another, and far more feeble animal, to ride upon its back."

It IS a strange thing and it is an extraordinary privilege that should never, ever be taken for granted, because sitting up there incorrectly can do devastating damage.

A human spine runs vertical to the ground and the vertebrae are stacked one on top of one another. When carrying weight, the columnar arrangement lends strength and stability and helps make it easier. Being a quadruped, the horse’s spinal column runs horizontal to the ground with its vertebrae situated one next to the other, creating a structure more like a train with a series of carriages attached. Putting weight on that structure is therefore quite a different prospect altogether.

The saddle forms the interface between the two and in order to make that interface a happy one, there are a number of basic principles that need to be adhered to.

First and foremost, one has to ensure that a horse is fitted with the correct length of saddle. It should not encroach on the sensitive area on the horse’s wither (which Jochen calls the ‘wither cap’), nor extend past the 18th thoracic vertebra onto the lumbar region. but sit squarely on the horse’s saddle support area (which is individual to every horse).

The saddle needs to have sufficient spinal clearance to avoid impeding or compressing the spinal column and spinal nerves. Of particular import and interest to the racing fraternity, is that the saddle should allow complete freedom of the shoulders for maximum stride length.

Lastly, the saddle tree needs to be rigid, but sufficiently flexible to mould to the curvature and movement of the horse’s back.

Asymmetries, where present, need to be taken into consideration and accommodated for.

Failure to adhere to any of these principles leads directly to compensatory movements in the horse, which in turn compromise their natural way of going. Any change to the horse's natural movement, leads to uneven mechanical loading of their muscular and skeletal systems, which inevitably leads to injury.

Again, if you are thinking that horses don't train for very long every day, remember that the saddle sits on the back and a complex spaghetti junction of nerves and soft tissue structures not too dissimilar to the back of your hand. If you were to rub the tendons on

the back of your hand for a few minutes a day, it won't take long for those tendons to become inflamed and painful. The same applies to the horse's back.

South African connection In one of those seemingly random twists of fate, Jochen’s parents have a holiday home in South Africa and therefore not only has he been a regular visitor, but has also brought his saddle fit principles with him. It was at one of these courses that he met Helene van Staden, who convinced him that there was also a desperate need for education and a better saddle fit solution for horses in training.

Unlike the sport horse industry, where each horse is custom fitted with its own saddle (or saddles), checked and adjusted as the horse changes, racing’s sheer numbers and high turnover rate have led to a ‘one size fits all’ approach, with trainers simply purchasing one model of training saddle for their entire string. In addition, while South Africa has some very good work riding grooms, we also have large numbers who are less skilled and balanced in the saddle and have the potential to inadvertently cause damage simply due to poor riding.

They say ‘status quo’ is Latin for ‘the mess we’re in’. In the same way that one would not expect an entire rugby team to wear the same size kit and perform at their best, it becomes clear that in a sport where a fraction of a centimetre can make the difference between winning and losing, it seems unreasonable to expect our horses to . Yet our horses are kind and tolerant enough to put up with it and do their best anyway.

But what’s the alternative? Fortunately, Jochen likes a challenge, so work on a prototype for a work saddle started approximately three years ago. While there are still refinements to come, in honour of its South African roots, the Destiny Light III was officially launched at Turffontein Racecourse on Wednesday, 13 November 2019 to an appreciative audience of selected guests.

The launch was conducted as an information morning, with Jochen on hand to

explain both the planning and technology that have gone into the design and then a practical demonstration to put the saddle to the test.

The David Nieuwenhuizen yard volunteered two horses, each of which had a Destiny Light custom fitted to their specific requirements.

Each horse was then galloped twice – once with their regular work saddle and once with a custom fitted Destiny Light. The horses were fitted with monitors to measure saddle pressure, heart rate, stride / work rate, stride elevation and symmetry to collect comparative data for analysis and see whether the saddle lived up to its promise.

The Acid Test While the horses looked visibly different under the Destiny Light and the work riders concurred that the horses galloped straighter, pulled less and also pulled up less fatigued under the Destiny Light, it was the data sets that proved most compelling, with the readings reflecting a significantly lowered heart rate and not only was the heart rate lower, it was also more consistent and did not show the spikes recorded under the regular saddle.

There was also improved symmetry and higher stride / work rate. Interpreting the data shows that although the work rate increased, the horses were able to use themselves more effectively and were therefore able to perform more work with less physical exertion.

The implications for racing are obvious.

Rather than bracing or compensating for poorly fitting equipment, which results in compensatory movement and compromised muscle development, a horse with a correctly fitted saddle, adapted as the horse grows and changes, can be trained and developed to its full physical potential and with less risk of injury. This in turn, can be carried over to the racetrack, where that extra capacity is converted into better performance and precious inches over the competition. Which is a lot more than I bargained for from a saddle.

Humble pie indeed!

The next phase of development is to test the saddle in field trials, a process that will be launched in the coming months. I look forward to following their progress.

Sizzler-One Month Left!

“What Hollywoodbets are doing for racing is like a breath of fresh air.” That is the word from leading jockey on the Hollywoodbets KZN Sizzling Summer Challenge jockeys log, Anton Marcus.

Marcus, who is nine points ahead of Warren Kennedy, was happy that he is leading but is wary of the challengers.

“The lead can change in the space of one meeting - anything can happen,” he explained.

Marcus, who has ridden 28 winners from 80 rides in the competition, hopes that he can go all the way and did mention that if he is in contention with a few meetings to go, he will try and get more rides.

Winning Form-sponsored and Championship leading jockey Warren Kennedy said that he will challenge all the way to the last racemeeting, as he is focused on the competition.

Kennedy, who has 16 winners from his 98 rides in the competition, said that what Hollywoodbets are doing for racing ‘is amazing’.

“It’s very nice.The fields are growing and it’s great for racing,” he explained.

Leading trainer Garth Puller, who has a 52 point lead ahead of trainer Paul Lafferty, is pleased with his results.

Puller, who has had 12 winners from his 84 runners, is pleased that he is at the top of the log and says that being sponsored by Hollywoodbets makes it feel even better.

“It feels really good. I am happy with the results,” said Puller.

Puller is another that is aware that a lead in this competition cannot be taken for granted.

“On a Sunday I have 13 runners, then on a Wednesday I have two - it can change very easily,” Puller explained.

Puller is another that praised Hollywoodbets for the competition.

Trainer Paul Lafferty said that the Hollywoodbets Sizzling Summer Challenge is the best thing that has happened to racing.

Dubawi

More Meydan Magic

T

The outstanding Dubawi has a superb record all around the world. His progeny have won Gr1 races in all of North America, Britain, France, South Africa, Australia, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Germany, and Canada.

o date, his progeny which are headed by 41 individual Gr1 winners have earned in excess of $207 million, a total which stands scrutiny with the world’s leading sires. By comparison, Pivotal, who retired to stud nine years before Dubawi, has been responsible for the earners of in excess of $134 million, Oasis Dream runners have banked over $92 000 000, and Invincible Spirit runners have earned well over $113 000 000.

Dubawi, however, has a truly remarkable strike rate in Dubai, and his success continued at Meydan last Thursday evening.

He featured in the pedigrees of four of the six winners at Meydan on Thursday night. His four-year-old son Dubai Future won Thursday’s first race, while Dubawi sons Glorious Journey and George Villiers won the Gr2 Al Fahidi Fort and Jebel Ali Port Handicap respectively on the night.

Glorious Journey, a group or graded stakes winner at two, three, four and five, is out of Gr1 Coronation Stakes winner Fallen For You – whose sire Dansili has already enjoyed success with Dubawi. The Dubawi/Dansili cross has produced three group winners thus far including Gr1 Pretty Polly Stakes winner Nezwaah and four time group winning sire Time Test.

Dubawi’s 2000 Guineas winning son Night Of Thunder, one of the world’s most exciting young stallions, also came to the fore on Thursday when his first crop daughter Dubai Love captured the Listed UAE 1000 Guineas.

In winning the 2020 UAE 1000 Guineas, Dubai Love became the eighth stakes winner to have emerged

from Night Of Thunder’s first crop, which also includes a further five black type performers. Night Of Thunder’s first crop stakes winners include the group winners Under The Stars, Pocket Square and Night Colours.

Night Of Thunder added to his tally when his two-year-old daughter A Beautiful Night captured Saturday’s Gr3 Neds Blue Diamond Preview over the weekend.

His sire Dubawi has already enjoyed notable success in Dubai this season, with Glorious Journey and impressive Gr2 Singspiel Stakes winner Benbatl - who was repeating having won the Singspiel Stakes in 2018 - having both scored notable Dubai graded triumphs this year.

Benbatl has an excellent record in Dubai, with the Dubai Turf winner having also won the 2018 Gr2 Al Rashidiya and finished second in the 2018 Gr1 Jebel Hatta.

A son of outstanding Dubai World Cup winner Dubai Millennium, Dubawi has a formidable record in Dubai’s major feature races.

Dubawi’s sons Monterosso and Prince Bishop won the Gr1 Dubai World Cup in 2012 and 2015 respectively, rand they are by no means their sire’s only major winners on World Cup night. His sons Postponed and Old Persian won the Gr1 Dubai Sheema Classic in 2016 and 2019, and the aforementioned Benbatl triumphed in the 2018 Gr1 Dubai Turf.

The sire’s subsequent Gr1 Awesome Again Stakes winning son Mubtaahij scored a memorable, eight length victory for trainer Mike de Kock when he won the Gr2 UAE Derby back in 2015.

Dubawi, whose sire won the Maktoum Challenge Round 3 in 2000

Glorious Journey wins the Gr2 Al Fahidi Fort has enjoyed particular success in the third round of the Maktoum Challenge (a Gr1 contest since 2012). The triple Gr1 winner is currently the sire of three Maktoum Challenge Round winners in the form of Hunter’s Light, subsequent World Cup winner Prince Bishop and North America respectively. Dubawi has also supplied three winners of the Gr2 Dubai City Of Gold, with sons Monterosso, Postponed and Old Persian (all subsequent Gr1 winners) landing the race in 2011, 2016 and 2019 respectively.

Dubawi’s son Safety Check added to his sire’s Dubai legacy when he won both the Gr2 Zabeel Mile and Gr2

Al Fahidi Fort in both 2015 and 2016, while Dubawi son D’bai provided his sire with yet more graded success in Dubai when he downed Mythical Magic by a length and three quarters to win the 2019 Al Fahidi Fort. Dubawi sons have thus won the Al Fahidi Fort three times since 2015.

Fittingly enough, the Dubai Millennium Stakes - run over 2000m at Meydan - was won by Dubawi’s Gr1 winning sons Hunter’s Light and Zarak in 2015 and 2017 respectively, while Dubawi sons North America and Muntazah captured Dubai’s Gr3 Firebreak Stakes in 2017 and 2019 respectively.

The sire’s versatility has also been highlighted in no uncertain terms in Dubai, with Dubawi responsible for Gr1 winners on all-weather, dirt and turf in Dubai.

Dubawi’s broodmare daughters have also enjoyed top level success in Dubai, with Dubawi mare Patroness responsible for 2018 Gr1 Jebel Hatta winner Blair House (Pivotal), and Dubawi’s Gr2 winning daughter Sand Vixen the dam of 2019 Gr1 Jebel Hatta winner Dream Castle (Frankel).

The latter also triumphed in the 2019 Gr2 Al Rashidiya and 2019 Gr3 Singspiel Stakes.

New Sire Off The Mark – ACT OF WAR

Summerhill Sire Strikes Early Summerhill Stud’s Act Of War, whose first crop are two-year-olds this season, was one of the very best sons of former SA Horse Of The Year and champion producing sire Dynasty.

H

e produced his first winner from his first runner at Fairview on Friday when his Piemonte Stud-bred son Daichi made a winning debut over 1000m for Gavin Smith in impressive fashion.

Under jockey Marco Van Rensburg, the Act Of War colt kept going gamely to record a half length win in a time of 57,42 secs.

A R70 000 buy from the 2019 Emperors Palace National 2YO Sale, Daichi is out of the two time winning Captain Al mare Darrie.

His connections picked up a R60 000 Bloodstock SA Value Added Bonus for the victor.

His sire Act Of War won eight of only 12 starts for Joey Ramsden, with his six graded victories including a triumph in the 2014 G1 Cape Guineas, as well as scores in all of the Gr2 Selangor Cup, Gr3 Kuda

To all the Ascot-bred Sun Met day runners Go ma ke us pro u d a n d en joy th e g reat d ay !

Matchem Stakes, Gr3 Langerman and Gr3 Cape Classic.

Unplaced once from 12 starts, Act Of War earned R1 820 500.

Act Of War, who won graded races at two, three and four, is one of seven winners produced by the stakes placed Cordoba mare Si Senorita. The latter, also dam of Gr3 Langerman winner Subastador and Listed Off To Stud Handicap winner Luna De Victoria, was South Africa’s Broodmare Of The Year in 20142015.

Act Of War stands at Summerhill – his fee is available on application.

Classic Finishes

Hollywoodbets Greyville 19 January This meeting was originally scheduled to take place at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. The first division was the quicker of the two 1400m maiden plates for the girls that got proceedings underway and here victory went to the wellexposed MISS CHARLOTTE. Sent off second in the betting market at 15/4, Garth Puller’s charge led throughout. She was two lengths clear coming off the bend and in what proved to be a real thriller, she only held on by the narrowest of margins from the 7/10 favourite LADY OF LUTETIA. The MR92 Handicap was by far the faster of the two 1200m events on the card and here the stable of Garth Puller were again on the mark when the front running GEORGINA ROSE landed the spoils. A length and a quarter clear for most of the journey, the daughter of Just As Well kept on strongly over the final 400m and with the rest some three and a half lengths adrift, she beat the always handy PETRA by three quarters.

The two 1600m races were both handicaps and in the faster of these, the MR79 affair, the lightly raced 3yo SKOLLIE gained his second win from just three outings. In the rear turning for home, Gareth Van Zyl’s charge ran on best of all and in another classic finish he did well to collar the odds on favourite BABY SHOOZ in the very last stride.

TITBITS Both running on from the rear, BLUSH OF DAWN and EXPLOSIVE BEAUTY had the rest four and three quarter lengths adrift when dead-heating in the second division of the maiden plate for the girls over 1400m.

Vaal 21 January Five of the nine races at the Vaal on Tuesday were staged over 1400m and in the fastest of these, a MR92 Handicap, the Seventh Rock mare ROCKIN RUSSIAN registered her third career victory. Always handy, Sean Tarry’s charge fought out a thrilling finish with both RIO’S WINTER and TOO PHAT TO FLY below the distance and got the verdict by a neck.

The only other distance to stage more than one race was 1800m where marginally the faster of the two was the pinnacle stakes won by FLICHITY BY FARR. Backed into second favourite during the afternoon, David Nieuwenhuizen’s charge raced in the rear for most of the trip. Just seven had gone to post though and other than the 3 lengths advantage held by the front running SEVILLE ORANGE, the rest were quite tightly bunched. She ran on strongly over the final 400m and in another three way finish she got up late.

In terms of distance the easiest victory on the card was that of EPIC DREAM when winning the MR88 Handicap over 1100m. Positioned in the backend of midfield during the early part of the race, Candice Dawson’s charge quickened nicely at the business end of the race and won going away by two and a half after striking the front 100m from home.

TITBITS Running on from the rear after being a little slow into stride, lightly raced FRANKLIN won the maiden plate over 1400m going away.

Nice And Easy Does It Fairview 22 January There were a number of very MERMAID completed a smart easy victories on Wednesday’s poly hat-trick. Positioned in the track card and none more so than backend of midfield at the top that of SCOLDING in the maiden of the short home straight, the plate over 1000m. Soon positioned daughter of Sail From Seattle close to the speed, the daughter ran on strongly over the final of Oratorio took up the running 400m and just got the better of 200m out and despite being eased the heavily supported ULTRA BOOST by a quarter. down late, she cruised in by six.

TITBITS Another to win with authority KINDRED COUNTESS was always was CALANDRA in the MR64 clear when winning the opening Handicap over 1400m. A facile maiden plate over 1600m for the winner in the maiden ranks last girls very easily by four and three time out, Alan Greeff ’s charge quarters. adopted a change of tactics here and raced handy. She put her head in front going TOP SPEED RATINGS through the 200m and won for this WEEKEND going away from the always (Ratings shown have already been handy MICROBE by two adjusted to allocated weights) and a quarter.

The MR68 Handicap FAIRVIEW (FRI) Race 1: (10) Sloane 1 was the faster of the two Race 2: (6) Glory Days 58 1000m events on the card Race 3: (1) Little Drummer Boy 35 and here the stable of Alan Race 4: (9) Born A Bully 56 Greeff were again on the Race 5: (4) Via Seattle 64 mark when SEATTLE Race 6: (4) Onesie 65

6 Favourites Vaal 23 January All of the races on Thursday were for work riders and amazingly six of the races were won by the favourite. Two 1000m maiden plates got the meeting underway and in the faster of these, the first division, TOWARDS THE SUN opened her account, Soon up handy, the daughter of Trippi was ridden to lead approaching the 200m marker and drew clear easily in the closing stages of the race to score by two and a quarter.

Two maiden plates over 1200m followed and in the quicker of these the easy to back LATEST CRAZE got off the mark. Positioned in midfield during the early part of the race, Stephen Lerena’s charge ran on best of all and won going away by a length and a half after striking the front 120m or so from home.

In what proved to be by far the faster of the two maiden events over 2400m the even money favourite NIMITZ recorded the biggest winning margin on the card. Running on from midfield, Mike De Kock’s charge had the remainder some fourteen lengths adrift when getting the better of the well-exposed MAROON BELLS by three and three quarters.

TITBITS The best bet on the card for many, THE JOCELYN TREE ran out a very easy winner of the maiden plate for the girls over 2400m.

Fairview Star Fairview 24 January The non-black type Fairview Merchants topped the bill on Friday’s turf card and in what proved to be the fastest of the afternoon’s four 1200m races, the easy to back KIMBERLEY STAR caused a bit of an upset. Freely available at 18/1 on the off, the lessor fancied of Alan Greeff ’s three runners raced in midfield early on. He ran on best of all over the final 400m and won comfortably by a length and a quarter from the well supported favourite ELUSIVE HEART. The opening work rider’s race was surprisingly the quicker of the two 1000m maiden events that opened up the meeting and here the former Cape Town campaigner NATURAL JADE got off the mark. Soon in command of a two lengths advantage, Juan Nel’s charge led throughout.

She kept on strongly at the business end of the race and ran out a very easy winner by five.

Just 1/100th of a second separated the times of the two 2000m race winners, the faster being the MR91 Handicap won by Palo Alto.

Always handy in what wasn’t a fast run race, the 5yo son of Silvano got the verdict on the nod after a thrilling tussle with SEEKING WISDOM. TITBITS Making her first appearance since relocating from Cape Town, DON’T BE BLUE won the maiden plate for the girls over 1200m with total authority by three and a quarter.
