GOLD CIRCLE

Joey Ramsden's 3yo Table Bay is out to redeem his reputation on Saturday

Gr1 G 1 CHAMPIONS CUP at Greyville this Saturday

T

The R1 million Gr1 Champions Cup sets the stage for a grand season finale - and possibly some serious showboating for the Equus selection panel. After his July dream went pear-shaped, Justin Snaith will no doubt be harbouring aspirations of a sensational send-off for his star filly Bela-Bela. But the grey bombshell won’t have things her own way.

his conditions race is run at weight-for-age plus Gr1 penalties and has attracted a quality field that includes Vodacom Durban July winner Marinaresco, Brett Crawford’s superhero Captain America as well as two smart 3yo talents.

Brett Set Crawford has two runners in the race, including the SP top-rated Sail South, who has run two topclass races since his 3 length third to Legal Eagle in the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate. He was under a half length behind Marinaresco in the Drill Hall Stakes and came on late for fourth and 2,50 lengths off stablemate Captain America in the Gold Challenge. Sail South meets the latter on 2kgs better terms but needs to prove that he is as effective at 1800m – a distance he tries for the first time on Saturday.

Interestingly, his dam won up to 2400m.

Joey Ramsden’s Table Bay is the first of only two 3yo’s in the race. The dual Gr3 winning son of champion sire Redoute’s Choice won well at his Scottsville prep beating Winter Prince and on his best form – he ran third behind William Longsword in the Cape Guineas – must have serious

claims of bidding for his first Gr1 win in the hands of Anton Marcus.

Gold Challenge winner Captain America has enjoyed a good SA Champions Season with a close up fifth in the Drill Hall Stakes preceding his outstanding Gr1 mile rout. The Captain Al 6yo, the joint officially top-rated runner, is a relentless galloper who could follow up here and register a deserved third Gr1 strike.

Title Holder Vodacom Durban July winner Marinaresco has drawn widest of all at 12 as he returns to defend his title. The son of Silvano is in prime form after winning the Drill Hall Stakes three runs back, and if we ignore his tactical flop in the Gold Challenge where he ran below par, he must rank as a serious candidate to register the double – if not off the boil after a tough July.

Deo Juvente shocked the SA Horse Of The Year Legal Eagle with a stunning success in the Gr1 Premier’s Champions Challenge at his last start and has his first run at Greyville off a 12 week break. The son of Trippi has pulled a wide draw but likes to run at them late and could be in the mix.

Tyrone Zackey’s Judicial returns to action after a 36 week break and was runner-up in this race behind

Marinaresco last year. He does not look to have the fitness or match readiness to be competitive.

Farewell The champion filly Bela-Bela makes her swansong appearance here and bids to make it a fourth career Gr1 success. The daughter of Dynasty put in her most eyecatching showing yet when storming to a 3,75 lengths victory in the Garden Province Stakes on July day. Anthony Delpech’s war talk after that victory that she felt good enough to win the July itself can be confirmed with a massive run here. Include her in all bets.

It’s My Turn found himself running very prominently in the July before fading out to eighth and 1,40 lengths off Marinaresco. The fact that Piere Strydom stays loyal to him and takes the ride again is a plus, but he is a kilo worse off with stablemate Black Arthur on the July run-ons.

The Australian-bred Brazuca has run three ordinary races and looks held on his July twelfth place finish, as well as his modest showing in the Gold Challenge prior to that.

Arthur’s Theme The enigmatic Black Arthur gets another opportunity to resurrect a moderate season after running on for a not disgraced seventh behind Marinaresco in the July. His third in the Cup Trial behind stablemate Elusive Silva and subsequent July Consolation winner Crowd Pleaser at his penultimate jump was a decent effort, but it may not be enough to suggest he is capable of winning this.

The lightly raced 3yo Matador Man won the KZN Breeders Million Mile last time and steps up to the 1800m for the first time in his career. He is nicely drawn at 1. While

his acceleration was impressive over the mile last time against weaker and he was not stopping - his breeding suggests potential stamina limitations.

Ten Gun Salute won the Betting World 1900 in good style at his penultimate start, but then failed to build on that when running tenth in the Durban July at his last start. He is worse off at the weights here with Marinaresco and it is difficult seeing him turn the tables.

Glory Days Can Bela-Bela go out in a blaze of glory, or will it be Marinaresco engraving his name on another Equus trophy?

The race doesn’t end there – Captain America enjoyed the Greyville conditions last time and he just doesn’t know when to raise the white flag.

Ramsden and Marcus were raving about the virtues of Table Bay eight months ago. The Aussie could redeem his reputation.

This should be a cracking race to launch the festival.

No Comic, Our Superhero!

Corne Orffer is optimistic that Captain America can follow up his Rising Sun Gold Challenge win and he sees no problem with the extra furlong on Saturday, despite the evidence of the Sun Met. He is also ‘ecstatic’ about his 10 draw.

Quoted in a Gold Circle Press Release this week, Orffer said: “Every now and again he has a tendency to hang to the right. He did it with me in the Queen’s Plate too.”

But was it lack of stamina? “No,” Orffer is adamant. “He was loving it out in front. He wasn’t using himself up, he was just cruising along and when Anton Marcus on Legal Eagle moved up my horse came right back at him. Indeed I felt he was looking for something to run with.

“He doesn’t have to be in front either. He is a free-striding horse, a galloper, and the important thing is not to get him stuck in behind horses. You need to sit second or somewhere where he is capable of using his action. In the Gold Challenge he took off in the straight and shot up like an arrow. The 1 800m will be no problem to him.”

GOLD CIRCLE

The Highlands-bred Eyes Wide Open was an impressive maiden winner last time

Gr1 PREMIERS CHAMPION STAKES at Greyville this Sunday

Future Stars In Action

T

The R750 000 Gr1 Premiers Champion Stakes is the battle ground for the new generation high-rollers. The absence of the boom colt Sand And Sea has opened up the playing field and a competitive contest looks guaranteed.

he return of the Golden Horseshoe top three could be the key to unravelling a fascinating contest, where a few less exposed bright prospects threaten to throw a spanner into the works.

The Golden Horseshoe produced a cliffhanger at the same venue over 200m shorter a month ago and with the Oratorio progeny promising classic fireworks, it could be the chance of runner-up and SP toprated Ancestry to turn the tables on his conqueror, Purple Diamond.

A magnificent long-striding specimen, Ancestry caught the attention as a maiden when he chased Trojan Harbour home in the Gatecrasher Stakes. He went on to an easy win at his maiden next time, before returning to the Gatecrasher Stakes course and distance in the Golden Horseshoe. Despite losing a shoe, Ancestry flew late there to be denied by a nose by Purple Diamond. The extra 200m gives him the edge on Sunday and from

the same stall-gate (8), with Bernard Fayd’herbe again taking the reins, he could make history in this country for his internationally proven sire.

Diamond Class

Piere Strydom takes the ride from Nuresh Juglall on the Var colt, Purple Diamond – such an impressive and gutsy winner of the Golden Horseshoe last time. He has a less favourable draw on Sunday and it remains to be seen how he handles the extra 200m. Sean Tarry’s charge remains a serious contender.

SA Champion jockey elect Anthony Delpech partners the Querari colt Monks Hood. After a 7,50 length debut win, he failed to deliver on his massive reputation when running on too late for third in the Gatecrasher Stakes. Drawn widest of all, Monks Hood faces his biggest hurdle on Saturday – and a chance to show the nation if he is as good as many say he is.

Masterful

Sean Tarry’s Captain And Master made up many lengths in a luckless

passage to grab third and 1,30 lengths behind stablemate Purple Diamond in the Golden Horseshoe.

Crying out for this trip, he is definitely worth another chance and looks to be the major opponent to Ancestry.

Runaway recent 1200m maiden winner Chantyman is the second of the Oratorio progeny and Dennis Bosch’ colt should relish the step up in trip but has a wide draw to overcome. He nevertheless looks a promising sort and could be lengths ahead of what he has shown in his two runs to date.

Cat’s Legacy ran on nicely for third in the KZN Yearling Sale Million but was well beaten behind Trojan Harbour in the Gatecrasher Stakes and needs to show more.

Big Choice

Mike de Kock and the Redoute’s Choice progeny have had a season to remember and the grey Mujallad, another nice looking graduate of the Inglis Easter Sale, steps up to the mile after registering his second win from six starts last time out.

Assistant trainer Mathew de Kock said after that last win that Mujallad was improving all the while, and suggested that ‘he has more in the tank over further’.

Glen Kotzen saddles three runners, with form suggesting one thing – and jockey choice another!

The highly vaunted Pack Leader has pulled a rails draw and will be looking to turn the tables on a surprise defeat by his stablemate Sea King last time over the Scotsville mile.

The latter was unplaced in the Gatecrasher Stakes but showed good improvement over the mile – and drawn 2, he may well be worth including in larger perms.

The third of the Tarry trio, Warrior’s Rest was well beaten in the Gold Medallion and returns from a nine week break following that effort. His fitness must be in doubt at his first Greyville start.

Raider

Joey Soma travels from Gauteng with Leftrightgoodnight. A positive draw ticks one box, but his form does not look strong enough to challenge here.

Robbie Hill’s Leslie Shadowliner was well beaten in the Gatecrasher Stakes at his second start after a wellsupported debut win. He is another who has to up his game.

Borya shed his maiden at his fifth start on the Greyville polytrack and ran a fair enough race in the Gatecrasher Stakes when fourth (in receipt of 2kgs) behind Trojan Harbour. He has more to do here.

Third of the Kotzen runners, Eyes Wide Open looks the stable elect on jockey choice and the son of

Dynasty could not have been more impressive than when shedding his maiden certificate at his second start three weeks ago. He has his first run at Greyville and could be the unexposed value dark horse if maintaining his improvement.

Dazzling

A great race in prospect with a handful of class colts taking each other on with an eye on Equus glory.

Ancestry and Captain And Master both impressed last time and look the right pair to slog it out. Eyes Wide Open and Chantyman could be best of the rest.

The 3yo Premier Dance looks a decent sort in the making and could challenge the established big guns

GOLD CIRCLE

T

Vodacom Durban July fourth-placer Nightingale is one of five Silvano fillies lining up in Saturday’s R400 000 Gr2 Gold Bracelet. She looks overdue to register her fifth career success.

he Candice BassRobinson trained Majorca Stakes winner ran second in this race last year but looks a more serious racehorse this time round. If her July exertions have not taken too much out of her, she must be a strong selection to win this 2000m event. The race is run at weight-forage plus penalties for Gr1 and Gr2 wins and she is the highest rated galloper in the eleven horse field.

Her major opposition lies in the shape of another daughter of Silvano. Bella Sonata ran a decent third 4,25 lengths off Bela-Bela in the Garden Province Stakes and has some impressive collateral to Nother Russia from the Highveld Season. Gavin Van Zyl’s 4yo is game, consistent and very fit and strikes us as a potential serious threat to Nightingale, if things go her way.

The classy 4yo Witchcraft seldom runs a bad race and has been close up at her last two 2400m starts – in the Queen Palm Stakes and Track and Ball Oaks. Well drawn here and with S’manga Khumalo in the irons, she must go close to a top three finish.

Star Express showed up well in the Tibouchina Stakes but then

came up unsighted in the Garden Province Stakes on July day. She did take Nightingale right down to the wire in the Majorca Stakes at level weights in January so has the ability, if at her best, to challenge.

Fort Ember has failed to match her early season promise where she looked to be a filly going places.

In fairness, her last four starts have names like Legal Eagle, Nother Russia, Just Sensual and Bela-Bela at the head of affairs and this represents a step down in class. She is unproven over the distance though and her dam won at 1000m. So there are doubts.

Intergalactic was slow away and well beaten behind stablemate Matador Man in the KZN Breeders Million Mile. She has been off form for some time and her stablemate is preferred here.

The highly regarded Epona failed to kick on in the Track & Ball Oaks when beaten 3,25 lengths by Zante. She was also well beaten in the Woolavington 2000 prior to that. Anton Marcus stays with the daughter of Silvano and she is capable of upping her game on her best past showings.

The well-related Premier Dance has won three of her six starts and looks a 3yo with a very bright

future. This half-sister to champion Capetown Noir has won from 1200m to 2000m and steps into feature company for the first time.

She looks a decent inclusion with her scope.

Persian Rug has not gone on with her early promise and looks outgunned here.

Captain Gambler gets the blinkers removed and she is proving a frustrating filly after showing good early promise. Anton Marcus takes her stablemate Epona above her.

Joburg visitor Pennington Sands has drawn nicely but her recent form is a touch iffy and she is not well in at these weight terms.

The race looks tailormade for the classy Nightingale to end her Champions Season campaign on a high and she is the selection to hold Premier Dance and Bella Sonata. – a Silvano trifecta!

The classy Tiger Ridge filly Meryl goes for three on the trot

Gr1 THEKWINI STAKES at Greyville this Sunday

T

Champion trainer Sean Tarry has a habit of dominating the big days and he must have a strong chance of pulling off the 2yo Gr1 double on Sunday. His Mambo In Seattle filly Desert Rhythm certainly looks the real deal in the Gr1 Thekwini Stakes.

he Nutfield Stud-bred Desert Rhythm registered her third victory in seven starts when beating Let It Flow to win the Gr2 Golden Slipper last time out. With the latter not pitching for this race, her closest rival from that encounter, stable companion Rockin Russian, has to make up two lengths to turn the tables.

Looks Held Rockin Russian is better drawn than she was in the Golden Slipper and has run three decent races in her short career – although held on paper

by Dean Kannemeyer’s Meryl on her Devon Air Stakes three length fourth.

Meryl gets the services of Anthony Delpech again and caught the eye when winning the Devon Air going away. She gave Sequined 2kgs and a half length beating and the latter maintained her form when beaten 1,75 lengths by Lady In Black (who gave her 3kgs) at Greyville two weeks ago. That throws Lady In Black into the mix.

A Dennis Drier-trained daughter of Dynasty, Lady In Black is unbeaten in two starts and all the talk has been

about her being something special and a filly with a bright future. Her seasoned trainer said she was ‘all class’ and ‘very good’ when she skated home last time on the poly from an unfavourable draw – a dilemma she faces again.

Unbeaten Anton Marcus rides the unbeaten Folk Dance for Paul Peter. The daughter of Tiger Ridge has won her three starts with authority and jumps into the deep end from a wide gate at her first Greyville start.

The interestingly named Too Phat To Fly gave Rose In Bloom a major fright in the Listed Irridescence Stakes over the Kenilworth 1500m last time out.

Richard Fourie gets aboard the Bezrin R20 000 buy for the first time at her Greyville opener and what a story it would be were she to win this!

It looks tough beyond the top six but Holly’s Vision showed up nicely when running third and 2,75 lengths behind Meryl in the Listed Devon Air Stakes. She is well drawn and might have a place chance if she stays the mile.

Stout Meryl’s stablemate Mara shed her maiden certificate on the polytrack at her penultimate start and ran on steadily when beaten out of the money in the Golden Slipper. The daughter of Var has some stout blood on her dam side and while poorly drawn, could be another quartet kicker at best.

Course and distance maiden winner Flichity By Farr is bred for more ground and has her first dip into feature company at her fourth start. The betting may well be the best guide in her case.

Piere Strydom rides recent dual winner Frederico’s Dream for Mike Azzie. The grey daughter of Gimmethegreenlight has done little

wrong and on a line through her debut collateral to Golden Slipper runner-up Let It Flow, she could be some value from a reasonable draw.

Sailing The Sail From Seattle 2yo’s are firing and Candice Dawson travels from Gauteng with recent maiden winner Illegal. The Danika Stud-bred galloper has had only two outings and finished 1,80 lengths behind Frederico’s Dream in the Let It Flow race on debut.

La Bella Mia ran a nice third in the Listed Ruffian Stakes but was then reported not striding out when finishing downfield in the KZN Yearling Sale Million last time out.

She has drawn against the paint

Sailing To Success

Ascot Stud’s Gone West stallion Sail From Seattle has the nattily named Illegal carrying his flag in Sunday’s Gr1 Thekwini Stakes. And if Candice Dawson’s recent impressive maiden winner were to follow up here, what a season she would crown for her star sire, who is no longer with us.

With the debutante Astisia clocking up her Dad’s 21st individual 2yo winner of the season at Fairview last Friday, Sail From Seattle has left huge hoofprints for his successors to fill. But Ascot Stud’s Dr Ashley Parker says that he is confident that Bold Silvano and their new man, Global View, would do the job.

A son of world champion sire Galileo, Global View got a great book of mares in his first season. A graded stakes winner on turf in his home country, Global View won twice from 3 starts as a juvenile, including the Gr3 Generous Stakes, over a mile. That effort earned him the second highest turf rating for 2yo colts in the US Experimental Handicap.

and looks likely to enjoy the mile that she tries for the first time.

Irish Flame’s R20 000 purchase Just My Style won her second start going away over the Turffontein 1450m last time at any price. She could be anything but has a wide draw to negotiate..

Recent Scottsville 1400m longpriced maiden winner Sorceress steps into the major league and is given an opportunity to show how good she is. She is difficult to assess after her two runs.

Wide As is often the case, the fairer sex equivalent looks to have a more open look about it than the boys race and if Desert Rhythm fluffs her lines, the floodgates could be thrown wide open. Lady In Black is on the up and highly regarded by her connections – she ranks a serious danger, with Frederico’s Dream and Meryl snapping at their heels. Go wide in the exotic play.

Veronica Foulkes

Portrait Of A Lady

W

Normandy Stud has been enjoying a great run of form, celebrating a Cape Nursery double in 2016 and from a draft of six at the 2015 CTS Ready To Run Sale, three are graded stakes winners. We catch up with Veronica Foulkes.

e arrange to meet at her flat in Cape Town, mid-morning, after her walk in the mountain.

Veronica greets me at the security gate, elegantly, but comfortably attired in black with pearls at her ears and throat. With an energy and athletic physique that belie her years, she greets me with her trademark warm smile and then shows me briskly upstairs.

Despite being just above the busy main road, the beautifully appointed flat is quiet and peaceful, even with the sliding door open onto the little balcony. Trophies, awards and equestrian art adorn the surfaces, a testament to a lifetime’s contribution to racing.

A little background

The De Wet family settled in Robertson as far back as 1859 and Veronica grew up in Robertson as one of four children. Her parents, Oscar and Margaret de Wet, farmed and her father ran one of the finest twice a day milking herd of Fresian cattle in the country from their Excelsior farm. Oscar and Zandvliet’s Paulie de Wet were cousins. “Willie Langerman boarded horses with my grandfather and then my father. My mother did the Thoroughbreds and she loved it,” explains Veronica. “When my father died, she carried on with the horses.

My brother Stephen finished school, studied viticulture in Germany and then came home and also took an interest and the farm.” Did Veronica pursue any studies?

“Nothing useful,” she smiles mischievously.

Excelsior enjoyed success, producing the likes of Country Cousin, San Louis, Gondolier, Ethno Centric and Bushmanland, although Stephen later focused on breeding Arabians instead.

Veronica married veterinarian Tommy Foulkes and the original Normandy was established in 1971, on what is today Litchfield Stud.

They later acquired the additional tract of land that the current stud occupies, eventually selling the Litchfield portion to Ken MacKenzie.

“Tommy did vet work, I did stud work, although I learnt an enormous amount – even about small animals.

I never lost a patient,” she smiles.

“But we worked bloody hard. We’d be up at 6 even after being up all night for foalings.”

Alongside Tommy, Veronica bred Aquanaut, Enforce etc. Being from the Karoo, Tommy knew all the old families and bought three mares from Alec Robertson, including

Tramore and Entre Nous, from which the farm has produced a number of good horses. Entres Nous produced Cape Fillies Guineas winner, In Camera in partnership with the Jaffees. Tramore’s first foal was a colt named Tribesman by New South Wales, who went on to win the 1977 SA Derby. She also produced a Drum Beat filly named Terpsichore, who was a 4-time winner, but more importantly produced French Muse (dam of Horse of the Year, Winter Solstice), and Russian Muse (dam of Mother Russia) with other branches of the family producing the likes of Bravura and Cap Alright.

Winter Solstice

Normandy beats the statistics in terms of the number of top horses it produces off a relatively small base, but the one Veronica is perhaps most readily associated with is dual Queen’s Plate winner and Horse of the Year, Winter Solstice. “Actually, between myself and my cousin Dan de Wet, we won the Queen’s Plate 7 years in a row – Winter Solstice won it twice, Pocket Power four times and then I won it again with Mother Russia,” she says with pride.

Was Winter Solstice a standout on the farm? “Not really,” she answers candidly. “He was a nice horse, but he was born, went through a sale and so on.” While she was on course for his first Queen’s Plate win, she did not receive a trophy from that run. The following year, her sister was visiting from Australia and the pair went to lunch at Kirstenbosch and Veronica missed his triumph. “It was shocking.

Unforgiveable really,” she reflects.

Fortunately the story does have a happy ending as she did get a commemorative plate for his second victory.

Sentiment

State of the industry

either buy into a horse she really likes, or race them herself if they do not reach her reserve. Proving that sentiment often pays off, having sold Entre Nous’ Fillies Guineas winner, In Camera, Veronica bought back a daughter named Private Lives, who produced 2001 Equus Champion Female Sprinter, Tatler who raced in Veronica’s colours. She was a 5 time winner, including the Odessa Fillies Championship, a race Veronica has claimed three times to date and Veronica has recently managed to acquire one of Tatler’s daughters, Taomina. “She’s easy to get in foal, but hard to keep in foal.

But we’ll keep persevering,” she says determinedly.

Markus Jooste permitted her to keep a quarter of the wonderful Bravura ,as well as a share of Cap Alright with Etienne Braun and Paul Loomes “Nobody who’s not in racing can understand the high of winning and leading in a horse. It’s a lot of fun. A lot of heartbreak too,” she reflects. “We’ve been second in the Met five times now – at one stage it was three years in a row!” How does she cope with the disappointments?

“As they say, ‘Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone.’ You’ve got to accept things happen,” she shrugs. “You just need a good horse every now and then and it makes it all worthwhile.”

Not only does Normandy breed It is impossible not to touch on the off a relatively small base, the stud state of the market. How does she has also found success from very feel about the future of the industry? economical broodmare purchases. “Top horses are always going to be “Luck comes into it too, but I’ve had good sellers, it’s the middle market a lot of success from sentiment. I that’s frightening me,” Veronica bought Princess Daisy (the dam of muses. “It’s hard for the man in Joshua’s Princess and granddam the street to buy a horse. We’re of Grand Jete) for all going through R2000 because tough times.”

Normandy beats the I’d stood a family Here she does feel statistics in terms of the the industry ought member for Beth Rodseth.” Through to be doing more number of top horses it an association to market racing produces off a relatively with the owners, to the general small base she acquired public. “Channel Helenita, who has 239 isn't reaching the distinction of producing Little anyone other than people already Ballerina (one of the few fillies in the industry.

Power Duo Eye Gold

GOLD CIRCLE

The dramatic Hermoso Mundo & Captain Spendid Gold Vase finish key to the gold on Sunday?

Gr3 eLAN GOLD CUP at Greyville this Sunday Mike de Kock and jockey Callan Murray renew feature race acquaintances at Greyville this weekend and the combination can take up where they left off when the young rider took up a contract in Hong Kong earlier this year.

T

he seasoned veteran and the fresh-faced rising star team up with the Australianbred Kinaan in South Africa’s premier test of stamina, the R1,25 million Gr3 Elan Gold Cup. A recent third placed finisher in the SABC Gold Vase, Kinaan comes in with a handy galloping weight of 52,5kgs and carried a half kilo more when finishing third to stablemate Enaad in this race last year. A year later, the now mature son of Galileo will find the weight counting in his favour over the 3200m – when it really matters.

The top three finishers in the Gold Vase look the trio most likely to fight this out.

Master Of Pace

The good stayer Captain Splendid beat Hermoso Mundo by a head only to be denied victory in the steward’s boardroom after an objection in the Gold Vase.

Piere Strydom retains the ride on Captain Splendid and the Captain Al gelding will be 2kg better off in the weights with the Marwing runner.

Hermoso Mundo received a six-point penalty for his win in the Gold Vase and can confirm his status as the country’s champion stayer if he can lift the Gold Cup on the final day of the season. Weichong Marwing takes over the reins from Karl Zechner. He will be fit and stays every inch of the test.

Trophy Wife booked her berth here with a good win in the 2400m Queen Palm Stakes last time out. If she stays the trip, she must have a chance of earning.

Track and Ball Derby winner Mr Winsome had no luck in the July and after taking a few bumps, had nothing to come when it counted – finishing 19 lengths back. That came just a fortnight after his Derby win and Dean Kannemeyer indicated that he would be freshening him up for what was his originally intended Champions Season target.

Snaith Trio

Topweighted Krambambuli ran a cracking fourth in the July after two smart wins and this versatile son of Black Minnaloushe forms part of a powerful Snaith trio. If not off the boil after his herculean July effort, he should be in the mix.

Richard Fourie partners Consolation July runner-up Royal Badge, who looks to have had the perfect prep for a big effort on Saturday. Decently drawn, the versatile son of Go Deputy should go close at best.

The Elmo Effect enjoys a 4kg swing with Fortissima for a 0,30 length beating last time and is a capable longhauler at best.

Cool Chardonnay appears to be battling and looks fortunate to have made the final cut given his recent modest form.

Mixed

The Track and Ball Oaks winner Zante steps into mixed company as she is asked to go the 3200m. Drawn very wide, she could have a tough task and looks to have it all to do.

The 2016 Gr3 Racing Association Handicap winner Fortissima has drawn very wide but suddenly struck form last time and gets the services of Anthony Delpech – who would have had the choice of a few other rides in the race.

Banner Hill stays well and was beaten 2,80 lengths by Hermoso Mundo in the Gold Vase. He was made a lot of use of that day and could be better if ridden quietly – given the

added value of his 2kg turnaround with the Marwing runner.

Dull Form

Francia is yet to spark in two runs up in KZN and one has to go back to October 2016 to find her better form – which incidentally included a win over stablemate Captain Splendid!

Paul Matchett’s Royal Honour has shown some good staying ability and returns from Zimbabwe where he won his last start over 1800m. He runs well fresh and with a 2 draw he must have place prospects.

My World was outclassed in the Cup Trial and continues to show little heart or finish when called upon. While he has run a string of places, he is winless in four months short of two years and needs to up his game.

The front-running Let It Rain ran a decent third in the Track and Ball Derby last time and has reasonable form over ground. His wide draw looks unlikely to be a factor given his racing style.

Complex

The Gold Cup is not an easy race to analyse with a host of factors at play. It may be best to side with the class and the well-weighted De Kock runner.

Kinaan could have the edge over Krambambuli and Hermoso Mundo, with serious chances to Royal Badge and Captain Splendid.

Weekend Of Winners Saturday’s Greyville Pick 6 pool kicks off with a R1-million carryover and a pool of R3.5million has been guaranteed with the expectation that it will reach R4-million plus.

On Sunday the pool will start with a R1.75million carryover and a pool of R5-million is guaranteed, which is expected to reach at least R6-million.

The tote has also introduced a new bet for the weekend called the ‘Festival Cup Double’ which will start with an injection of R100 000. Punters have to select the winner of the Champions Cup on Saturday and the winner of the eLan Gold Cup on Sunday, and 70% of the eventual pool will be shared by those that get it right.

Some insurance is offered by way of a consolation double is offered where 30% of the pool will go to punters whose selections finish 1st and 2nd or 2nd and 1st in the respective Cup races.

Betting on this double opened on Tuesday 25 July and will close at 16h10 on Saturday. A minimum bet of R10 is required.

Gr3 CHAMPAGNE STAKES at Kenilworth this Saturday

T

The R250 000 Gr3 Champagne Stakes brings the curtain down on the Cape racing season on Saturday.

Classy Trippi 3yo Love To Boogie takes on the year older A Time To Dream in a quality 1200m race.

he weights are set at weight-for-age plus penalties and the honour roll shows that this is no run-of-the-mill winter bash.

The classy Dynasty filly A Time To Dream drops in trip and runs a week after her good second behind Silvan Star in the Final Fling Stakes. A course and distance winner, she stands out amongst the older fillies and looks a serious runner if recovering from her recent 1800m run.

South Side is a fast and effective daughter of Pathfork and she is out for her first stakes success after maintaining her form well – winning 4 of her last 5 starts.

Karl Zechner rides her in the absence of Richard Fourie.

The yard is in good form.

Slow Out

Felicity Flyer is effective over this course and distance and ruined her chances last time when slow out and staying on for fourth behind South Side.

She is a kilo worse for that close on 6 length beating and needs to improve to feature.

Come Fly With Me ran second in this race last year behind Beach Goddess and saw a welcome form return last time when ridden from the front to beat Spending Spree over 1400m. Her interim form was quite ordinary, but this is likely to be her swansong and she could go out with a bang.

Second of the Glen Kotzen runners is the gutsy 3yo Anneline, who scored a course and distance win over Scandola last time out. She won’t find this as forgiving as the handicap but is worth including in the quartets.

The nicely bred Trippi filly Love To Boogie is a course and distance specialist who has run four class races.

She has the edge on her stablemate Ahoy Me Matey on their last meeting and looks a real scopy sort with

serious upward potential.

The one-eyed galloper Hanabi is very fast and draws the 1 gate. She won three on the trot in handicap company before her last quiet effort and has a tough task.

Life’s A Breeze

Nordic Breeze enjoys a 7kgs weight swing with Ahoy Me Matey for a 3 length course and distance third last time out. This smart daughter of Windrush has a lot of weight to shoulder for a 3yo, but must have a place chance.

Varumba puts in the odd good run but cannot be recommended with any confidence in this lineup and on these conditions.

Average

Brett Crawford trained last year’s winner and he saddles a coupling headed by the Captain Al mare Captain’s Dove. Her form is very average and she has a massive task on these weight terms.

The lightly raced 3yo Ahoy Me Matey has won two of her starts over the course and distance and while out on the official ratings, she could be much better than her exposed form.

Sails Set won a good race to score her fourth career win last time out and is a course and distance winner which enhances her prospects. She does look to have plenty to do at these weights though.

Rain Watch

We are going with A Time To Dream to beat Love To Boogie and the value topweight, Nordic Breeze. Watch the going and go wider if the rains arrive.

Champagne & Hope On The Horizon The Gr3 Champagne Stakes closes a season of mixed fortunes for local racing at Kenilworth on Saturday.

A course switch mishap in May and some public flak over proposed developments to Kenilworth Racecourse have not deterred Kenilworth Racing from continuing in their efforts to turn racing around in the Western Cape.

Besides repeat prospects of the hugely successful inaugural Sun Met and the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Festival held over two days for the first time, the excitement in the new season centres around the development and redesign of Durbanville Racecourse.

The country course, which closed in October 2016, should still be ready to reopen for its 10-fixture spring season on 9 September, in spite of a huge storm that buffeted Cape Town in June washed away some of the shoulders of the new track,.

The track has been rebuilt because it was very undulating and there were areas that became waterlogged. They have also lengthened and widened the home straight and built cross-falls, 3.5% on the bend and 2% on the straight. This is expected to negate the draw bias.

A dogleg for the 1000m start, which used to start right on the start of the turn has been installed and the realignment of the winning post now provides a longer pull-up area.

Subsurface drainage and a fixed irrigation system have been installed in line with best international practise.

With talk of a bumper summer season and some major yards relocating to the Cape with satellite operations, there are exciting times ahead.

Glorious Days For Big Orange With five days of thrilling action set against the magnificent backdrop of the rolling Sussex countryside, the Qatar Goodwood Festival – popularly known as 'Glorious Goodwood' – is one of the highlights of the flat-racing season in the UK and will be held next Tuesday 1 August to Saturday 5 August.

The L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Festival, which hosted its inaugural two day event in January this year, will enjoy some early publicity as one lady will win the trip-of-a-lifetime to South Africa, as winner of the L’Ormarins Best Dressed competition.

The winner will be announced next Friday 4 August at the Qatar Goodwood Festival.

The prize is a trip for two to Cape Town to the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate fixture at Kenilworth.

This is held on Friday 5 and Saturday 6 January 2018. As well as flights, airport and raceday transfers and hospitality at the races, the winner will enjoy five night’s luxury accommodation, a tour of the world-famous L’Ormarins vineyard and

dinner at the Grand Café and Beach Hotel.

In a lovely twist for the Queen’s Plate sponsors, Drakenstein’s resident stallion Duke Of Marmalade is the sire of the likely favourite for the opening day feature.

Glorious Goodwood’s newest Group 1, the Qatar Goodwood Cup worth £500,000 is a race that Duke Of Marmalade’s son Big Orange bids to win for the third year running.

The 3200m race has been moved from Thursday to Tuesday, and sees the Michael Bell-trained Big Orange poised for a rematch with Order Of St George, who he beat a short head in a memorable finish to the Gold Cup last month.

Only Double Trigger has won the big race three times - but his wins were split between 1995, 1997 and 1998.

Gr3 UMKHOMAZI STAKES at Greyville this Sunday

T

The R300 000 Avontuur Gr3 Umkhomazi Stakes is a competitive contest for the 2yo’s over the draw sensitive 1200m.

Brett Crawford could hold the ace with recent smart winner Al Mariachi – but there is plenty of talent lurking in the shadows.

he race is weighted with one-time winners or less carrying 54kgs, with a penalty of 2kgs for each win thereafter.

Al Mariachi (rated 94 by us) has the best form in the race and impressed when backed to win the KZN Yearling Sale Million. He did that from a wide draw and taking his two decent efforts behind Sand And Sea into account, he must rate as the horse to beat from the pole position draw over 100m shorter.

Laurent Du Var was outgunned in the Gr1 SA Nursery when 12 lengths behind runaway winner Mustaaqeem.

His form prior to that – including

a second in the Gr3 Protea Stakes behind the solid Barrack Street and a beating of So Var (whom he bumps here), suggest that he is worth including if stripping fit after his 12 week break.

Justin Snaith slaps the blinkers on for the disappointing Sir Frenchie, after two unplaced efforts in features.

The Australian-bred is drawn widest of all and needs to improve to feature.

On Target Sniper Shot was well beaten in the Gold Medallion but his general form is very decent. He ran Al Mariachi to a half length in the KZN Yearling Sale Million and has the added advantage

of being a course and distance winner.

Procal Harum has his first run as a gelding after being bumped and beaten six lengths by the star prospect Sand And Sea in the Gold Medallion.

He jumps from a wide draw but could be worth including.

Joint topweight Quinlan is stakes placed and one of only two three-time winners in the race. The son of Sail From Seattle is very quick and won his last start going away.

The strikingly handsome So Var has won his last three starts in good style and travels from his Johannesburg home base with smart credentials.

He beat subsequent winner Alfolk last time out and looks a very decent sort.

2015

Aussie The Australian-bred Roy’s Regis has won his last two on the bounce on the Greyville poly and needs to show he is capable of reproducing those paces on the turf.

Concealed Secret is S’manga Khumalo’s pick of the Tarry pair and the son of A P Answer won well at his third start after two good places. He was only two lengths behind subsequent Gatecrasher Stakes winner Trojan Harbour at his second outing – so may be worth following in an open race.

Zerodarkthirty is the second of the Tarry duo and shed his maiden at his fifth start after four straight seconds.

2016

The son of Black Minnaloushe shows good speed and has his first run at Greyville.

Close Call We are suggesting that Al Mariachi may hold the edge, with the impressive So Var and the Spies pair of Quinlan and Laurent Du Var the likely challengers. There is scope to go wider if the budget permits.

Gr3 THE DEBUTANTE at Greyville this Sunday

GOLD CIRCLE

Gimmethegreenlight's daughter Virga won smartly last time - she could be equal to the task here

T

It is difficult to discard one of the runners in the R300 000 Gr3 The Debutante as a no-hoper and a field selection may be the route to go for Pick 6 players. he scope for improvement from one run to the next makes this 2yo fillies race a tough one to go narrow in. Throw in the outof-province raiders and suddenly it starts looking even hazier.

Raining

Neptune’s Rain has the Gr1 form and the daughter of Antonius Pius must go close after running on well just off the money in the Golden Slipper last time out. A twotime winner, she carries the flag of the KZN champion trainer elect Duncan Howells and is very highly regarded. But she is no good thing!

Howells’ closest opponent Dennis Drier saddles Tsessebe, who caught the eye when storming through late for third and only 1,25 lengths

off Desert Rhythm in the Golden Slipper last time. The daughter of Philathropist shed her maiden in good style on the poly second time up after going down narrowly on a 100-1 debut.

Princess Peach finished a decent fourth in the Allan Robertson and ran very handy before fading to 4 lengths off Meryl in the Devon Air last time. The daughter of Captain Al may prefer the 1200m here and is certainly worth another chance from a good draw with Richard Fourie up.

Breezy

Spring Breeze has run two reasonable feature race fifths at her last two starts and was only two lengths behind Desert Rhythm in the Golden Slipper. Piere Strydom knows her well and the combination deserves consideration over the 200m shorter.

The beautifully-bred Light On Her Toes has failed in three feature outings since winning her maiden at her second start over the course and distance. She could be ready to find her form again and is well drawn at 3.

Roy Magner’s Winter Watch has won twice in six starts and showed good resolve and nice toe when winning in a small field at the Vaal three weeks ago. Her sole blank effort was at feature level but this could be within her scope.

Red Sky

Red Enchantment has pulled the pole position draw and comes in here fresh off her impressive second start maiden win. The daughter of Trippi must be included as an unknown quantity.

Anton Marcus is an interesting jockey booking for the Johan Janse van Vuuren trained Virga. He was aboard when the daughter of Gimmethegreenlight won going away on the Greyville poly at her third start. She was beaten by Gr1 winner Brave Mary at her penultimate start

and looks a filly on the up.

Corne Spies’ Outlander is far and away the most experienced contestant in the field but has already run twice this month and may be a touch battle weary. She was outclassed in the Golden Slipper and then well beaten next time out at home. She has a wide draw to beat.

Thunder

Celestina has won twice in seven starts and was shown the course (on the poly) when following up on her Vaal 1000m turf maiden win. She won well supported both times and looks a filly with a big reputation.

Include her in all bets.

Louis Goosen’s Fancifilly beat Moggie Brown with a good show of pace at her second outing. She was blowing after her first run, which indicates a lack of race readiness and she improved well to win in the follow-up outing. She looks talented and has a shout if overcoming her wide gate.

The Scottsville 1200m debut winner Marsala has done nothing

wrong and tries deeper waters with the added value of a 2 draw. She won well and it is difficult to guage her ability on that effort.

Strong Form

The Gr1 form of Neptune’s Rain is the drawcard but there is plenty to consider amongst Celestina, Fancifilly, Princess Peach, Spring Breeze, Virga and Tsessebe – that’s no short list!

THE MEANING OF

hile current fans will associate the Kimberley nursery with Fort Wood and the mighty Horse Chestnut, their legacy runs far deeper. Charles Faull helped me uncover the meaning of Mauritzfontein.

Harry Oppenheimer started a small Thoroughbred stud on the famous De Beers remount depot outside Kimberley in 1946 and its impact has been profound. Mr Oppenheimer was single minded in assembling his broodmare band, selecting Classic families and daughters of such breed-shapers as Hyperion, Ribot and Princequillo.

The original complement of eighteen handpicked matrons consisted of nine SA-breds and nine imports, including the blue blooded Lorelei (Hyperion) in foal to Scottish Union (St Leger).

The resultant foal, Ossian, was given to Sir Ernest for whom he romped home in the 1950 Summer Handicap.

Finding a prepotent stallion or foundation mare is like trying to find a needle in a wheat field, but from those nine imported mares came two blue hens, both of which became the founders of dynasties.

Their names - Fisherman’s Prayer (GB) and Sword Dance (GB).

Blue Hens Fisherman’s Prayer created a great family, herself producing champions such as Red Roman and Mauritzfontein’s first July winner, Tiger Fish, and flourished through her daughters, Electric Eel (dam of SA Oaks winner Murena), and Rising Trout, who would produce Troutbeck, Truite Au Bleu (7 time winner and dam of SA Oaks winner, Free Style) and champions Hengist and King Willow, winner of the SA Derby, Champions Stakes and the Oppenheimers’ second July title in 1969.

While Harry & Bridget concentrated on Classic and stout blood, they did import two of the fastest fillies ever to race in SA. The first was Polybius, an American bred daughter of Mr Busher from a great Lord Derby family, and of course Nalatale.

Polybius won the Garden Province, and defeated champion Jerez in the Chairman’s Plate. Nalatale was champion sprinting filly of SA and her main rival on the Rand at the time was another Mauritzfontein-bred, Uncle Ben. The two Mauritzfontein greys were involved in a number of close fights over 1000m. Nalatale gave us Bodrum and of course London Wall, by Mauritzfontein’s Col. Pickering (by their sensational sire Wilwyn, out of another of their blue hens, Julie Andrews, herself a dam of three Gr1 winners).

One could write a book about the Oppenheimers and their contribution to racing, but a new chapter was added when Marinaresco flew from the clouds to victory in this year’s Vodacom Durban July, delivering Mauritzfontein’s 6th July winner and continuing Harry and Bridget’s 71 year heritage of classic excellence.

Oaks Legacy Before discussing Mauritzfontein’s July winners, one has to make mention of their extraordinary achievements in the SA Oaks. They first won it in 1962 with Dame de Coeur (Janus - No Deal) - from two other Mauritzfontein-breds, Pafuri and The Widow. They won it again in 1963 with Baccarat, a full sister to Dame de Coeur, and have won it a total of 14 times to date.

Mauritzfontein’s classic stallion Free Ride (Timeform 129) bred five SA Oaks winners – Angelina, Free Style (SA and Natal Oaks), Murena (winner of the 1972 SA Oaks beating Switched On and Hula Queen, all Mauritzfontein-bred and all by Free Ride), Vicereine, Grease Paint (out of SA Oaks winner Julie Andrews by Shantung); and Free Ride also bred Natal Oaks winner With Pleasure (out of Willingly by Wilwyn) as well as Bodrum and Principal Boy.

The Sensational Wilwyn Mauritzfontein imported Wilwyn in 1959.

Timeform 129, he’d been at stud in England for five years showing great promise, but his success in SA was profound.

An abbreviated list of his Gr1 winners, all of whom were bred by Mauritzfontein, include full brothers Kimberley Kid, Willett and Stalwart, July winner King Willow, Rarin To Go (SA Nursery) and Gold Cup winner Smash And Grab. His 1965 crop delivered four Gr1 winners Anchorage (Summer Handicap), Salaman (Hawaii Stakes), Stalwart (Hawaii Stakes) and Uncle Ben, champion sprinter of SA. Wilwyn’s last Gr1 winner was Col. Pickering, who won the Hawaii Stakes. From only 230 SA-bred foals, Wilwyn produced 32 stakes winners, a staggering ratio of 14%.

And this is just a fraction of what Mauritzfontein accomplished for Harry & Bridget.

July Triumphs Tiger Fish (Janus – Fisherman’s Prayer) was their first July winner in 1959. He was champion 2yo, unbeaten in 4 starts and champion 3yo with 5 wins and 3 seconds from 8 starts, including the Benoni Guineas, SA Derby, 2nd to the great 5yo Java in the Summer Handicap and touched off a short head by 4yo Excise in the Durban July Handicap of 1958. At 4, he was a close second to Black Pirate in the Newbury (1200m), won the Durban July under 124lbs by 2 ¼ lengths and finished 4th in the Durban Merchants a week later under 122 lbs. At 5 (a month after the July) he defeated a star studded field including Panjandrum, Riza and Black Pirate in the WFA

1400m Chairman’s Plate. He was a 8lbs better terms than WFA and finished a head behind him. It was great horse.

King Willow (by Wilwyn out of a top class run against an all-time Fisherman’s Prayer’s daughter great. He went on as a 6yo to win Rising Trout), won four of five starts the 3200m Transvaal Handicap and at 2, including the 1400m Champion the 1600m Charles Marx Memorial.

July winner number four comes Nursery Stakes, defeating Ajax and the Oppenheimer-bred Rarin To Go in the form of Greys Inn whose (also by Wilwyn) by nearly 3 lengths. USA moniker is something of a At 3 he ran eight times for four wins, misnomer. Bridget Oppenheimer two seconds and two thirds. He purchased his dam, Great Verdict opened with a crushing victory in (AUS) in foal to NZ sire Zabeel and the 1400m Durban Free Handicap, sent her to the USA to be covered was third in a top division 1000m by Horse Chestnut. Thus Greys Inn at Germiston, won the 1964 WFA was born in Kentucky, earning him SA Invitation Stakes from Panakush, a (USA) suffix. Great Verdict arrived Numeral and Ptolemy (on the same in SA with Greys Inn at foot and day that Julie Andrews won the SA carrying Good Judgement, who was Oaks), won the SA Derby by 3.5 unraced but went on to breed the champion Smart lengths, was 2nd Call. Unraced at in a 1000m sprint While Harry & Bridget 2, Greys Inn went at Germiston concentrated on Classic into the July as touched off a head by a 4yo, and stout blood, they did a winner of four seven starts, ran second to Fire import two of the fastest of including the SA Eyes in the Cape fillies ever to race in SA Classic and the Derby, finished SA Derby, and third to William Penn in the SA Guineas and then was therefore well handicapped with won the 1965 Durban July under 50kgs as a dual Gr1 winning 3yo.

106lbs by a head from the 4yo Fair Ridden by Greyville grandmaster, Mountain (who went on to win the Anthony Delpech, he romped home Queen’s Plate). From five starts at by almost 3 lengths. After the July, 4, he placed three times including Greys Inn was shipped abroad, running second to Sea Cottage in winning the 2400m Dubai City of the Clairwood Winter Handicap by Gold in Dubai and finishing eight half a length in receipt of 7lbs and lengths behind the great Makybe interestingly, four lengths fourth to Diva in the Cox Plate, conceding her Wilwyn’s son Smash And Grab under the 5lbs sex allowance - no mean top weight of 126lbs in the Gold feat. At stud he’s given us 2 good Cup. He opened his 5yo season with horses in King of Pain and Legal a sensational defeat of Java Head, Eagle.

The 4yo Hunting Tower by Fort Sea Cottage and Smash And Grab in the 10 furlong Champion Stakes on Wood won his eighth race when 6 August 1966. Like Tiger Fish, he winning the 2007 July. As a 3yo, was a serious racehorse, from 1000 he showed top class potential by winning the Dingaans, the Gauteng – 3000m.

Principal Boy was a true Guineas and the SA Classic and was Mauritzfontein product by Free beaten less than a length by Elusive Ride out of SA Oaks winner Julie Fort in the Daily News. Trained by Andrews (SNL) (who also produced Charles Laird and ridden to victory Col Pickering, and SA Oaks winner, by Anton Marcus, he carried 55kgs Grease Paint).

Her dam, Eliza and had such as Pocket Power Doolittle, by Epsom Derby winner (58kgs) nearly half a length behind and champion sire Never Say Die, him in 4th place. From nine starts was imported in foal in 1960. at 5 in SA, he confirmed his superior Besides Julie Andrews, Eliza Doolittle merit, when two lengths third to produced another SA Oaks winner, Pocket Power at level weights in the J&B Met. He then went on to Little Audrey (High Veldt).

Principal Boy won the 1975 July on a strenuous Dubai campaign until the disqualification of Gatecrasher. he was 10 years old, winning the As a 5yo gelding he carried 49kgs Jaguar Trophy (1300m at Nad al to 3yo Gatecrasher’s 49.5kgs, Sheba) and a 2200m stakes race at meaning he met Gatecrasher on Meydan.

July winner number six for Mauritzfontein (and number four for Silvano), Marinaresco (Silvano – Gay Fortuna (Fort Wood)) with 132 lbs, carried the highest weight to victory in the July since it was converted to a 2000m race in 1915. Using exactly the same tactics as Grant van Niekerk in 2016, he was finessed to the back of the field by Bernard Fayd’herbe and swept all aside with his customary spectacular late acceleration. Like Nightingale (also out of a Fort Wood mare) he is a perfect example of the Silvano Classic / Stout type discussed under the Jacobs article last week and, like Nightingale, was having his first start at an appropriate distance since he reached maturity in about March this year. As we have seen, these Classic / Stout horses are capable of showing ‘fresh speed’, but once fully mature and fully fit, simply need more than 2000m to deliver the brilliance that we saw in the Queen’s Plate, Met and Gold Challenge.

Our anti–classic racing programme certainly does nothing to advance the cause of the classic horse or the punter, who can only make value judgements on horses over their right distances.

SA’s woefully inadequate provision for the Classic/Stout pedigree in its racing programme needs to be addressed by those with the future interests of our stud book at heart.

Continuing Legacy Harry and Bridget’s stated goal was to breed the Classic horse - a sentiment echoed by their daughter, Mary Slack at her Wilgerbosdrift nursery - and our history books stand testament to their towering achievements.

Mauritzfontein goes into the future with Harry and Bridget’s granddaughter, with the help of a highly skilled team including Guy Murdoch, Nigel Page, et al. How lucky we are to have Jessica’s infectious enthusiasm for ‘the greatest game in town.’

Mauritzfontein’s greatest challenge will be to find another Wilwyn, as classic as they come and described by Timeform as the perfect racing machine. An interesting point about Wilwyn was that he was inbred through two daughters of the great Ascot Gold Cup winner, William The Third. Makes you think, doesn’t it?

SHOCK DEFEAT

K

Arrogate, the world’s top rated racehorse, entered the starting gate on Saturday at Del Mar in the San Diego Handicap so ridiculously favoured that the 1-20 odds produced too many digits to show on the track’s big board. He was so regally regarded that the trumpet belted out the theme from ‘Superman’ before the call to the post. But his glorious streak of seven wins ended in minutes.

Arrogate, astonishingly, lumbered to the line a staggering 15 lengths off the pace.“He just laid an egg,” said astonished trainer Bob Baffert.

Time Flies Nadeson Park’s Redoute’s Choice stallion Time Thief looks to have another good one in the 3yo filly, Memes. The flying filly won her 5th race in 15 starts in an 1100m Handicap at Royal Randwick on Saturday. Time Thief is a multiple Gr1 placed Australian sprinter/ miler, rated Timeform 120. His three-part sister Laisserfaire will be fondly remembered by Cape racegoers. She was twice voted Champion Sprinter here, winning both the Gr1 Cape Flying Championship and Gr1 SA Fillies Sprint in consecutive years.

Imported to South Africa in 2015, Time Thief’s first crop here are foals. He stands at Nadeson Park Stud in Hermanus at a fee of R15 000.

Some good ones have just departed our shores.

Multiple Gr1 winner Carry On Alice, her stablemate Gr1 SA Nursery winner Cloth Of Cloud and former Mike Azzie-trained Western Winter filly Winterinthewoods are off to Australia.

Vodacom Durban July runner-up and SA Derby winner Al Sahem, joins Belle Rose, dual Guineas winner Janoobi and Gr2 Gauteng Fillies Guineas winner Smiling Blue Eyes on the Dubai bus.

The Team Valor raced Gr3 Three Troikas Stakes winner Anna Pavlova, Gr2 Gold Bracelet winner Flying Ice and Dynasty’s dual Gr3 winner Olma are travelling to France.

The Gr2 Choice Carriers Championship winner Ektifaa and Turaathy, a maiden full-sister to champion Rafeef, are off to the UK. The 2017 National Yearling Sale graduate Bastide is off to Hong Kong.

The Varsfontein bred son of Judpot (ex Requista) was purchased by Michael Lee for R1,2 million.

We will be following their progress.

EMPEROR HEADS EAST

A rare SA bred was offered at the recently concluded Tattersalls July Sale.

Welsh Emperor, the 91 rated 5 year old gelded son of Go Deputy and runner-up in the Gr3 East Cape Derby, was bought for 78 000 Guineas by agent Oliver St Lawrence Bloodstock for Saudi Arabian interests and is expected to depart for the Middle East at the end of July. Consigned

by Jane Chapple-Hyam Racing as agent for Hartley SA (Pty) Ltd, Welsh Emperor, a half brother to the dam of Edict Of Nantes, the Equus Champion 3yo elect, was trained by Alan Greeff, who produced the Ascot Stud bred to win 4 races and 7 places from just 14 starts. He follows other high class racehorses to have emerged from the Eastern Cape, such as Dubai World Cup placed horses, Lizard’s Desire and Paris Perfect and Gr2 Al Maktoum Challenge winner and now sire, Bold Silvano.

Maine Chance Farms sire Querari’s half-sister Quidura was beaten a head into second place in Saturday’s G1 Diana Stakes at Saratoga.

Quidura (also a half-sister to Quasillo, who will stand his first season at Klipdrif this year) was beaten by the best mare racing in the USA, with Twice Over’s relative Antonoe close up in third. The winner Lady Eli is now a winner of 5 Gr1 races. Querari has been represented by 14 individual juvenile winners in 2016-2017, with his 2yo winners including Listed Dahlia Plate winner Joking, Gr1 SA Nursery third Wonderwall and stakes performers Made In Hollywood and Monks Hood – who runs in Sunday’s Gr1 Premiers Champion Stakes, while another promising juvenile by Querari, Spring Breeze, lines up on the same after in the Gr3 The Debutante over 1200m.

Cat Out The Bag Punters may have been caught unawares in the last race at Fairview on Friday when The Cat ridden by Chase Maujean, ran a place but was missing in the final results. The gelding apparently rushed the front gate and broke through momentarily before the starter effected the start and gained an unfair advantage over the other runners. The Starter did not call a false start and the Stipendiary Board called a race review into the start. The Board after reviewing the patrol films of the start, and hearing evidence from the Starter, the rider of The Cat and other riders, decided to act in terms of rule 61.6.11 and declared him to be a non-starter.

Since his reign as the world's best sprinter, Lankan Rupee has had his share of problems but trainer Mick Price and his owners have patiently restored him to race fitness more than once. The rising eight-year-old has lost his mantle to Chautauqua who has won the past three TJ Smith Stakes, the race that stamped Lankan Rupee as the world leader in 2014. He makes his latest comeback in Saturday's Bletchingly Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield and hasn't raced since his fourth in the Darley Classic in November.

Star Of The Show

Richard Fourie sends Silvan Star on her way to her peak career success to date

Gr3 FINAL FLING STAKES Kenilworth last Saturday The lightly raced Silvan Star dominated the show at a sunny Kenilworth on Saturday with an eyecatching victory in the R250 000 Gr3 Final Fling Stakes. On an obviously upward graph, it will soon be decision time for her connections as to which direction she takes next.

W

hile it was the Justin-Snaith and Bernard Fayd’herbe partnership who topped the charts winning four of the eight races on the Kenilworth Saturday programme, the feature honours and last double

on the card belonged to Glen Kotzen and Richard Fourie.

Rising 5 and having only her fourteenth start on Saturday, Silvan Star is showing the typical Silvano trait of just getting better with every run. She is racing full of enthusiasm and has enjoyed a terrific season, winning 5 of her 10

last Weekend Listed East Cape Paddock Stakes Fairview Friday

Ambushed Trainer Alan Greeff has dominated the R700 000 Eastern Cape Fillies & Mares Challenge this season and after Clear Sailing’s win in the first leg, his smart Gimmethegreenlight 3yo Beataboutthebush handed her rivals a galloping lesson in Friday’s second leg – the R150k Listed East Cape Paddock Stakes.

There will be no winner of the fairer sex R250 000 ‘Triple Crown’ bonus this season – it takes a really good one to won from 1200m to 2000m – but Greeff must fancy his chances in the third leg, the 2000m Jockey Club Stakes, after the progressive Beataboutthebush won so well on Friday.

The only 3yo in a line-up that included some hard-knocking outof-province seniors, the Listed Breeders Guineas winner was produced at the 400m by the Highlands sponsored Greg Cheyne and drew off to beat Span Die

Seile, putting in a solid first PE run, by 1,50 lengths in a time of 99,05 secs.

Crackpot ran her usual game race a quarter length back in third, with Trini’s Colateral in fourth. Cup Cake looked dangerous late but failed to go through with her run and finished just out of the money – showing that the mile is just beyond her best.

Beataboutthebush, a half sister to former Gr3 East Cape Derby winner True Master, was a R300 000 buy from the 2015 National Two Year Old Sale.

Bred by Varsfontein, she is a first crop daughter of Gimmethegreenlight (More Than Ready) out of the seven-time winner Bushra (Badger Land).

Beataboutthebush has won 5 races with 3 places from 8 starts for stakes of R365 200.

She must be a candidate for the Champion 3yo Filly trophy at the East Cape Racing Awards next month

starts, with two second cheques, a third and a fourth.

The recent Listed Ladies Mile winner also won over 1800m for the first time on Saturday, which gives owners Georgina Jaffee and Peter De Beyer some added options for next term – if she stays in training.

Facing ten runners on Saturday, Silvan Star was raced handier than normal by regular pilot Richard Fourie as the grey Hilaria led Rock On Wood, Miss D’Aray and Ngaga.

Into the short winter home run, Fourie gave Silvan Star the nod early and she streaked into the lead with A Time To Dream and Ngaga looking to go with her.

But they had no answers for the Kotzen star, and with her hindlegs bandaged, Silvan Star charged away from her field to beat A Time To Dream by 2,50 lengths in a time of 110,44 secs.

The well-related 3yo Ngaga had every chance this time and was a little one-paced late, beaten a further half length back in third.

The top-rated Goodtime Gal failed to produce a kick and was a no-show fourth.

Last year’s winner Harlem Shake was another to disappoint – finishing 6th and ten lengths off the winner.

Silvan Star has now won 6 races

with 5 places from 14 starts and stakes of R524 775.

Ascot Stud bred her from champion sire Silvano (Lomitas) out of the one-time winner, Bold Choice (Lecture).

Purchased for R200 000 on the National Yearling Sale, she may not be the prettiest girl in the class but is certainly one of the cleverest – and looks an exciting broodmare prospect – whenever she goes that route.

Fourie and Kotzen ended the day on a high when they won the last with the improved again Ashfahan, for Glen’s son Kuyan.

Cape Drought Sends Young Rider North Jockey Heavelon van der Hoven will attempt to boost his career by moving from Cape Town to Johannesburg this week.

“The small stables are shrinking at the Cape, and there is more racing and better opportunities for me in Johannesburg,” he said.

Van der Hoven, a natural lightweight who can ride at 52kg, said he would be operating on a freelance basis, but already had offers of work from Paul Peter and Brian Wiid.

The young jockey is languishing way down the rider’s log, with just six wins, 12 seconds and 28 thirds this season from 236 mounts, for slightly more than a million rand in stakes earnings.

That translates into a meagre 2% strike rate, a dismal figure that belies his latent ability, according to Tellytrack presenter Stan Elley.

“He is a good kid and a neat rider who is not getting the opportunities he deserves, so I believe it’s the right thing for him to move.”

Elley is an astute judge of talent, having pretty much seen it all, starting out on the family stud farm in Oudtshoorn, then training for decades and now covering

racing from around the country on the specialist TV channel.

So, a boost from him should provide much-needed encouragement for Van der Hoven.

Regarding his attributes and preferred riding style, Van der Hoven stated simply, “I am well balanced and like to conserve my horses from off the pace.”

He used exactly those methods to win the inaugural million-dollar bounty offered by Cape Thoroughbred Sales, on Illuminator in 2016.

The son of Trippi was an R180,000 purchase that massively rewarded the connections for their loyalty to the unheralded jockey. Van der Hoven had piloted Illuminator to victory at his first two starts and was riding all the work on Glen Puller’s very talented charge, so there was some poetic justice when the duo swept through to outrun favourite Silver Mountain and lift the gigantic prize.

His first winner was Knock ‘Em Out in September 2012, a 40-1 long-shot for Philippi trainer Riaan van Reenen.

His next victory came in March the following year for Hekkie Strydom

at Fairview on National Forest, which triggered a somewhat more productive spell in the Eastern Cape.

He moved back to the Mother City in 2014 but, apart from that bolt-from-the-blue stunner on Illuminator, found it difficult to make an impact.

Asked about the best horses he has ridden, Van der Hoven replied: “Illuminator and Harlem Shake.”

The latter is a capable three-time winning filly that upset the Final Fling Stakes in 2016, though she failed to trouble the judge in this same race run over the past weekend.

Van der Hoven’s career dilemma in the Cape is genuine.

With power increasingly concentrated in a few bigger stables that have contracted, go-to riders, it leaves scant pickings for those who depend on chances from smaller trainers themselves battling to compete with cheaper, often infirm, horses against far stronger resources.

The situation may not be substantially different in Johannesburg, yet Van der Hoven ought to get more chances. It will be up to him to seize the opportunities that come his way and try clamber to a more respectable spot on the riding ladder. www.tabnews.co.za

Ready To Fire

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

Pays Well Turffontein 16 July Four of the eight races on the old stand side track on Sunday were staged over 1400m and comfortably the fastest of these was the bill topping pinnacle stakes won

by WILL PAYS. Sent off as one of the outsiders of the ten horse party at 30/1, the 5yo son of Imperial Stride wasn’t the quickest into stride when the gates opened, but despite that was soon up handy. He ran on stoutly over the final 400m and did well to reel in the free striding pacemaker CAPTAIN ALDO close home.

The only other distance to stage more than one race was 1800m where the faster of the two, surprisingly, was the MR72 Handicap in which the well-supported TENDRE registered his second career victory. Backed into 5/1 from 12’s during the afternoon, Joey Soma’s charge was always in touch with the leaders. He put his head in front 100m out and comfortably accounted for the easy to back JACKMAN by a length.

In terms of distance, the easiest victory on the card was recorded by ALFOLK in the Juvenile Plate over 1160m.

Taken straight to the front by Anthony Delpech, the uneasy favourite led throughout. He raced two lengths clear during the early part of the race and doubled his advantage over the final 400m.

TITBITS The poorly drawn veteran RAMBO ran on well from the backend of midfield when getting up late to win the MR72 Horses worth following at their next few starts...

Greyville 19 July Favourite backers got off to a nice start on the poly at Greyville on Wednesday afternoon when NORTHERN REBEL did the business in the opening maiden plate over 1000m. Racing in open company in what proved to be the fastest race on the card comparatively, the 2yo son of Rebel King was soon up handy. He was ridden to lead shortly after passing the 400m marker and won going away by three and a quarter. Also worthy of note in this race was the newcomer RIVER OF JANUARY who finished third. Not the quickest into stride, Dennis Drier’s charge ran on well from the backend of midfield and didn’t find the clearest of passages.

Another 2yo to win with authority on this card was ROY’S REGIS in the MR62 Handicap over 1400m. In what proved to be the fastest of the three events over the distance, the son of Choisir was soon positioned close to the speed. He took up the running as they came off the bend and drew clear easily over the final 400m to score by four and three quarters. Roy’s Regis was the fourth of five winners on the card for owner Roy Moodley.

The faster of the two maiden events over 1600m was the boy’s affair in which the well exposed WINTER MARCHEN got off the mark. Drawn widest of the eleven, Andre Nel’s charge raced in the TOP SPEED RATINGS rear early on. Once in the straight though he ran on for this WEEKEND best of all and in what proved (Ratings shown have already been to be a real thriller he got up adjusted to allocated weights) in the very last stride to deny FAIRVIEW (FRI) another well tried individual Race 1: (1) An Air Of Success 14 in TURF CONQUEROR. Race 2: (7) Mr Fire Eyes 7 TITBITS Race 3: (14) Vanilla Rose 4

Sent off a well-supported favourite at even money, the newcomer VICOMTE ran on well from midfield when winning the opening maiden juvenile plate going away.

Backed into favouritism, ROY’S HOLLYHOCK ran on well from midfield when winning the girl’s maiden plate over 1600m going away.

The Secret’s Out Vaal 20 July Thursday’s action took place on the outside track where surprisingly the fastest of the five 1400m events was the MR69 Handicap won by PACHUCO. Sent off the lessor fancied of Sean Tarry’s two runners at 8/1, Pachuco raced in the rear for most of the journey. He ran on best of all over the final 400m, and with the rest well beaten he comfortably accounted for the 17/20 favourite BOLD COAST by a length and a half.

By far the faster of the two 1000m races was the MR77 Handicap in which SURF’S UP caused a bit of an upset. Freely available at 16/1 on the off, the top weighted son of Kahal was always handy. He ran on strongly from halfway and with the rest well beaten he

comfortably accounted for the front running favourite PILLAROFTHEEARTH. The easiest victory on the card was undoubtedly that of the newcomer NOBLE SECRET in the maiden juvenile plate over 1200m. Soon up handy. Mike De Kock’s charge took up the running 400m out and never really asked to race throughout, won as he liked by nine and a quarter.

TITBITS The 4yo LAST GIRL STANDING made it two wins in three days under determined rides from S’manga Khumalo (replacement rider here), when winning the MR62 Handicap over 1400m on the nod.

Nobeatingaboutthebush Fairview 21 July The listed East Cape Paddock Stakes topped the bill in Port Elizabeth on Friday and in what not surprisingly proved to be the faster of the afternoon’s two 1600m events, we saw a smart performance from the uneasy favourite BEATABOUTTHEBUSH. Soon up handy, Alan Greeff ’s charge was ridden to lead shortly after passing the 200m pole and won well by a length and a half from the former Gauteng campaigner SPAN DIE SEILE. The faster of the two 1000m events on the card was the pinnacle stakes in which EASY STREET registered her eighth career victory. Nibbled at on course into 4/1 from 5’s, the Brave Tin Soldier mare raced in midfield early on. She ran on strongly from halfway and won well

Easy For Dalley Vaal 18 July They raced on the inside track on Tuesday where once again a half of the races were run over the same distance. This time it was 1200m and stopping the clock in the fastest time amongst these was LAST GIRL STANDING in the MR69 Handicap. Always one to run on stoutly from off the pace, St John Gray’s charge raced a bit closer to the leaders here in sixth. She ran on well under a typically strong ride from S’manga Khumalo and got the verdict by a neck over the marginally faster finishing QUATTRO. The faster of the two 1000m events was the MR68 Handicap in which CLAREMORRIS followed up on her recent maiden win. Allowed to drift in the betting market as if a win was out of the question (14/1 out to 25/1), Roy Magner’s charge raced in the rear for most of the journey. The field was always tightly bunched though and when the race began in earnest she was only five lengths off them. She ran on best of all over the final 400m and comfortably accounted for the front running CATALUGA by a length and a quarter.

The 4yo DALLEY was the best bet on the card for most and she didn’t let down her supporters. Backed into the red during the morning, Lucky Houdalakis’ charge was content to race 7th of the nine for most of the journey. She took a bump 500m out, and didn’t find the clearest of passages when starting her run. Once seeing daylight though she cut through the field like a knife, and went on to score by two and a quarter with plenty in handy.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 28th - SUNDAY 30th JULY 2017

astnet Rock and Exceed And Excel are both consistently successful in the Northern Hemisphere, while champion Australian sires, Lonhro and Redoute’s Choice, have both enjoyed notable pattern race success in the Northern Hemisphere this year. Multiple Gr1 winner, Helmet (Exceed And Excel), has also made his presence felt with his first three-year-olds in the Northern Hemisphere this season, while Helmet’s ¾ brother and fellow Gr1 winner, Epaulette (Commands), is one of the top ten first crop sires in Great Britain this year.

Danehill

The Australian bred Choisir is another to have enjoyed consistent success in group/graded races in both hemispheres. His son, Starspanglebanner, has also made his mark in Europe through, for example, Gr1 Prix Morny winner, The Wow Signal, and recent Gr3 Betway Criterion Stakes

winner, Home Of The Brave. The omnipresent Danehill factor is a distinct force in the reverse shuttlers, with Danehill the sire of all of Exceed And Excel, Fastnet Rock and Redoute’s Choice, and grandsire of Choisir.

One early example of an Australian shuttle stallion perceived to have failed (but whose Northern Hemisphere stats suggest otherwise) was champion Encosta De Lago (the best sire son of Fairy King).

Encosta De Lago’s Northern Hemisphere representatives included short-lived Gr1 Dubai Duty Free runner up, Mutahadee, Gr3 winner, Empowering, North American stakes winner, Qushchi, and Gr1 Prix Royal-Oak runner up, Miss Lago.

Exceed And Excel is already responsible for top level NH winners, Outstrip, Margot Did and Excelebration, but his sons, Helmet (Thunder Snow) and Excelebration (Barney Roy) have both been represented by Gr1 winners in their first Northern Hemisphere crops

Stallion Day

A collection of five Gr1 winning sire sons of champions, the likes of which haven’t been seen in one place on African soil, is set for Wilgerbosdrift on Sunday 3 September, where a unique stallion day will be held to introduce the illustrious quintet.

With three visitors joining the big-hitting residents Flower Alley and Soft Falling Rain, 3 September will be a date to diarise for any serious breeder.

Highlands, Part Of Ridgemont, travel to the party with their recently arrived Redoute’s Choice champion, Rafeef. The handsome sprintermiler is one of the most talked about new arrivals at stud in recent times.

Moutonshoek bring Galileo’s Gr1 winning son The United States and fellow Gr1 star Admiral Kitten, the latter the first son of US champion sire Kitten’s Joy to retire to stud here.

A spokesperson for the organisers said the event would commence around 11h00 and would be followed by lunch. Invitations will be mailed in due course.

of foals, while Exceed And Excel’s Breeders’ Cup winner, Outstrip, is yet to be represented by his first runners.

Rock Solid

Dual Australian champion sire, Fastnet Rock, is also busy compiling a solidly successful stud record in the Northern Hemisphere.

To date, the Danehill son, who has fared particularly well when mated to daughters of Galileo, has been represented by six individual Gr1 winners in the Northern Hemisphere, including Zhukova, an impressive six length winner of the Gr1 Man O’War Stakes in 2017.

Fastnet Rock’s dual Gr1 winning son, Fascinating Rock, stood his first season at Ballylinch Stud this year.

Triple Champion Australian sire, Redoute’s Choice was represented by his first Northern Hemisphere crop of 3yos in 2017. The four time Gr1 winner, who covered exceptional mares during his shuttle stint, including the dam of champion Goldikova (Blushing Groom) and the unbeaten Arc winner, Zarkava (Zamindar), is the second leading second crop sire in France to date. He is only behind Rajasman, the sire of dual French classic winner, Brametot, and he has been represented by nine winners (from 19 runners) and two group winners (Gold Luck and Ibizia).

July Success

Darley’s Lonhro is an exception to the majority of sires mentioned above, in that he sports a pedigree

GOLD CIRCLE

F

While shuttle sires of the likes of Danehill, More Than Ready, Street Cry and High Chaparral, have long enjoyed success when sent from the Northern to Southern Hemispheres, the reverse trend of sending Australian bred shuttle stallions to cover mares in the Northern Hemisphere has enjoyed increasing success over recent seasons.

19

The Conglomerate winning the Gr1 Durban July 2016 free of the ubiquitous Danehill blood. A former reverse shuttle sire, the 11 time Gr1 winning Lonhro is well established as one of Australia’s elite sires, having topped the General Sires List in 20102011 and Two Year Old Sires List in 2011-2012. Well known in South Africa as the sire of July winner, The Conglomerate, as well as promising two-year-olds, Alfolk and Naafer, Lonhro (whose champion son, Pierro, will top the Leading First Crop Sires List in Australia this season) has been represented by 135 runners in the Northern Hemisphere, of which 67 have won,

and five of which are stakes winners.

This tally includes the very promising 2yo, Cardsharp, a good winner of the recent Gr2 July Stakes and a potential Gr1 contender, and graded stakes winners, Isotherm (Gr2 San Marcos Stakes) and Holding Gold (Gr2 Shakertown Stakes). Lonhro’s Southern Hemisphere’s winners to runners stats are 742 winners from 1040 starters.

With young shuttle sires such as Brazen Beau, Exosphere, Hallowed Crown, Pride Of Dubai, and Vancouver still to be represented on the racetrack, portents appear to be good for Australian bred sires to continue to make their presence felt in Europe and North America.

Memories Of The Flyer The beautifully-bred 2yo colt Cot Campbell stormed home at Kenilworth on Tuesday, a red hot odds-on shot to shed his maiden at his third start.

His win crowned a profitable day at a wet office for Justin Snaith, who saddled four winners on the programme – two for Bernard Fayd’herbe and the other two for Brandon May. A R3.3 million Cape Premier Yearling Sale purchase, Cot Campbell was bred in partnership by Team Valor and Drakenstein Stud and is by Trippi and a first foal of the triple Gr1 winning Jet Master daughter Ebony Flyer.

Ebony Flyer won the Gr1 Cape Fillies Guineas, Gr1 SA Fillies Sprint and Gr1 Majorca Stakes for Justin Snaith and owner’s Drakenstein Stud, Team Valor International, Mrs Vanashree & Mr Anant Singh.

Cot Campbell, who races for the same power partnership as his illustrious Mom, lost many lengths on a well backed debut in April and then reappeared

Ebony Flyer in June.

Needing the outing, he ran a commendable third there and after the two good runs looked a good bet on Tuesday. He duly won easing up by two lengths.

He is one for the black book!
