The well-related Lady Starlett is worth including

PINNACLE STAKES (F&M) at Turffontein this Saturday

Tarry To Strike T

South African champion trainer Sean Tarry has made a typically quiet start to the new season but he can be expected to start upping the ante in the next few weeks. He saddles the Captain Al filly Myfunnyvalentine in a fillies and mares Pinnacle Stakes at Turffontein on Saturday.

here are no features on the national weekend programme and the R130 000 Pinnacle Stakes on the Turffontein inside track is the highest valued event amongst some competitive racing programmes. Tarry saddles a duo in the race and it is good to see his old ally Piere Strydom back in the irons on the Klawervlei bred Myfunnyvalentine. The 4yo ran second in the SA Fillies Nursery of her year behind the smart Fursa and has always looked above average. She won the non black-type For The Ladies last season and, while winless in a year, she can go in and register her third success here. She ran a good second to Spring Wonder in August, but bolted and was withdrawn from her last start. She goes beyond 1200m for the first time but there is every indication that she will go the extra 250m with ease.

Star Quality Coenie de Beer’s Lady Starlett is a full sister to champion sprinter Talktothestars and a very talented mare on her day. She is another who takes a step up in trip but is holding her form well and has a nice turn of foot. She strips a very fit horse and will be running at them late. The Elusive Fort filly Smokey Affair relocates from the Mike Robinson Phillipi yard and has her first start for Mike de Kock. The Favour Stud bred 4yo was stakes placed in the Cape summer and looked to have the makings of a decent racer. She has not run for 26 weeks and is likely to need it. It is worth noting the strike rate of the De Kock yard with ex-Cape horses and she can be monitored for good improvement as her fitness improves.

Very Sweet The second of the Sean Tarry duo, the Klawervlei Stud-bred Sweet Lady Jade returns from a 26 week break

and is likely to need the run on that score. She won twice early and was considered good enough to contest feature company as a 3yo. She may be more competitive with a run or two under the belt. The Mike and Adam Azzie partnership struck gold in the Gr3 Spring Spree Stakes at Turffontein last Saturday. They saddled the top two in that feature and will be looking to maintain their rich vein of form with the classy Trippi mare, Shatoosh. This classy sort has been lightly campaigned and has only her thirteenth start here. She has won 4 races and will enjoy the 1 draw as she has plenty of gate speed and pace. On a line through her defeat of Knysna Rose at her penultimate start, she may hold Sylvan On Fire.

On Fire Durban-based owner Vanessa Harrison bred the Silvano filly Sylvan On Fire, who comes in here having won 2 of her 4 starts – including a gutsy post maiden win over a mile last time out. The 4yo shed her maiden in fine style over the course and distance in April and her last win was made all the more impressive as she was slow off, probably needed it after a four month break and still won impressively. On these weight terms she looks to have lots to do, but is streets ahead of the handicapper on the face of it and is improving fast. With Smokey Affair likely to need it, we are going with Myfunnyvalentine to hold the edge over Lady Starlett, with Shatoosh and the improving Sylvan On Fire in the shake-up.

Snaith's Fake News Bernard Fayd’herbe takes the mount on the Klawervlei bred Fake News in the first race at Kenilworth on Saturday. The gelded son of Philanthropist makes his debut having already made the news for the fuss over his name. After trainer Justin Snaith found the youngster to be vocal, unruly, unmanageable and a nightmare to work with, he was appropriately baptised President Trump and duly registered with the NHA. The racing regulator had second thoughts about the smart Snaith call after discovering a leader of the western world went by the same name. He was then renamed Fake News. Snaith has a trio in the race, with Grant van Niekerk partnering the Patricia Devine-bred first timer Love Happen. This son of Silvano is probably bred to go further than the 1200m but is the third foal to race of the high-class Jet Master mare, Love Is In The Air. Trained by Mike Bass and racing in the Devine Jet Master silks, Love Is In The Air won 8 races from 1500m to 2200m. Her successes included wins in the 2010 Gr1 Majorca Stakes in the hands of Karl Neisius and the Listed Stormsvlei Fillies Mile and the Winter Oaks. With two potential top jobs at the Bass-Robinson and Andre Nel yards already behind him, 2017 is not yet turning into a golden year in the career of 26 year old Cape-based lightweight, Grant van Niekerk. But things change overnight in horseracing, and a hat-trick of winners at Kenilworth on Saturday will hopefully go some way towards rebuilding the young man’s confidence. He won for Joey Ramsden, Vaughan Marshall and Justin Snaith last Saturday, and all three top trainers have thrown him another bone this Saturday. While Marshall awaits the return of the globetrotting MJ Byleveld, the Snaith and Ramsden jockey posts don’t appear exactly cut-and-dried. Often a second stringer for one of them is better than some of the lesser opportunities at the smaller yards.

PAULINE HERMAN

Dunked! FOUNDERS TROPHY Fairview last Friday

rainer Duncan McKenzie was chatting to the Sporting Post after Jarryd Penny had steered the 7yo Stratocruiser to a sensational end-to-end win in Friday’s R110 000 Founders Trophy at Fairview. Commentator Alistair Cohen blurted ‘he’s hijacked them!’ after an extraordinary race. “He knew he had to go up and make the pace. I wanted him against the steel and nicely restrained. He is not a horse that quickens, but he stays on really well, and he was fit.” We asked if it was one good ride by Penny or six ordinary rides by his colleagues. “Look, I’m not sure that Jarryd knew how far ahead he was. But he assured me afterwards that he was always well in control and, let’s face it, he judged it beautifully,” says the charismatic 58 year old, who only recently moved from the barns at Fairview to the outer stables. A virus for the past six months almost stuck him out, he says openly. “I consulted with some of the country’s top trainers for advice. Contrary to popular opinion, there is a lot of camaraderie in this game and the guys were only too happy to help. But I just couldn’t shake the

virus and eventually I didn’t know what to tell my owners. I have been in the open boxes for a week now and I can already feel that the horses have turned. A happy and well horse always does his best, believe me!” Duncan has 36 boxes in his new yard and he says he has place for more horses. He acknowledged his core of loyal owners and gave particular mention to Hugo Hattingh, the original owner of Stratocruiser. “Hugo has bigger fish to fry. He has some exciting young horses in his string. He was kind enough to allow us to race Stratocruiser. I’m very thankful to him and all of my supporters. We can’t do this without good people.” Duncan says the lifestyle in PE has won him over. “Look at the beauty of the coastline! This is God’s country. And I live in the most beautiful environment amongst animals and nature. We don’t know how lucky we really are,” he adds enthusiastically. When it comes to knowledge, Duncan has written the horseracing book of life and is one of the country’s most widely and diversely experienced conditioners – with winners from Scottsville to Saudi Arabia to his credit.

Piere Strydom gets Secret Star up on the line

For The Ladies (F&M)

Turffontein Saturday The Piere Strydom genius in the saddle was seen to good effect again when the Pathfork filly Secret Star flew up late to gain a narrow verdict in the R135 000 For The Ladies at Turffontein on Saturday. Punters are understandably still a bit nervous about free striding front-runners after Stratocruiser’s sensational end-toend display at Fairview on Friday and Keagan de Melo looked to have burgled the non black-type feature one from the front as Spring Wonder galloped strongly from her good draw from the break. Inside the final 100m the 5yo Querari

mare Spring Wonder had it in the bag, but Strydom had timed it finely and he got Secret Star to surge powerfully. The Stuart Pettigrew-trained 4yo (the highest rated galloper in the race) finished well in the 1200m feaure to win by a nose in a time of 71,59 secs. Spring Wonder bounced back well from a lame pull-up after her last start, while the lightly weighted favourite Alileo just didn’t quicken and had to be content with a third cheque. The Highlands bred Secret Star is a daughter of Pathfork (Distorted Humor) out of the two-time winner Flowing Stars (Western Winter). A R150 000 March Yearling Sale buy, she has won 6 races with 4 places from 13 starts and stakes of R4399 625. This race was previously run as the Sandy Beach Stakes on the Vaal Sand.

become involved in the Sport Of Kings came via his Mom, who was a Rugg. She worked for one of SA’s first lady trainers, Hilda Knaup. All of her seven brothers were jockeys and the family success story dates all the way back to 1934, when his uncle Albert (Allie) Rugg won the July Handicap at the age of 14 on a horse for Jackie Angles called Sun Tor. Sadly Uncle Allie was injured while riding and died a few years later. After riding work as a youngster, Duncan was set on a career in racing. Illustrious names like Frank Agliotti, Jean Heming , Johnny Nicholson, Nic Claasen, Terry Lowe, Willie Pieters and Clodagh Shaw number amongst his mentors and employers along the way. He concedes it’s a tough game but he wouldn’t want to be doing anything else. “Times are tough and everybody’s under pressure. But where can one get so much excitement, disappointment, thrills, frustration and pleasure in one job? We need good horses and good people. I’m lucky to have been associated with a good number of both,” he quips sincerely. Stratocruiser was bred by Pat Devine and is a son of Jet Master (Rakeen) out of Gilded Star (Golden Thatch). He wasn’t a cheapie with his National Yearling Sale R1,7 million price tag. Originally trained by Glen Kotzen, Stratocruiser has won 6 races with 18 places from 44 starts for stakes of R471 475.

Azzmen Ahead

Gr3 SPRING SPREE STAKES Turffontein last Saturday

Father-and-son training partnership Mike and Adam Azzie have made a cracking start to their opening partnership season and saddled the exacta in the R250 000 Gr3 Spring Spree Stakes at Turffontein.

ormerly run as the August Stakes on the Vaal sand, the 1200m Spring Spree Stakes run on the Turffontein inside track attracted a smart twelve horse line-up, including PE raider and Grand Heritage hopeful, Classify. In an open looking race, the pace was predictably on from the break with Azzie hare Spring Steel leading Sporting Monarch and Romi’s Boy, with Angel’s Power and Will Pays 5 lengths off the action. Into the home run, Will Pays built up gradually as the gaps opened off the false rail and Craig Zackey only went for a left-handed whip in the final 150m as Piere Strydom ranged up with a dangerous looking challenge down the outside. Under a beautifully balanced ride by the in-form Zackey, who has also enjoyed a great start to his season, Will Pays ran on best to hold Angel’s Power to a length in a time of 71,85 secs. The time was slower than the fairer sex equivalent a half hour earlier. Angel’s Power tends to be a touch on the in-and-out side but produced

a decent effort after checking late and was full value in second. Sporting Monarch maintained his consistent form and was always thereabouts, to hold on for third, a half length back. The Shams would have been thrilled with the gutsy effort of their 6yo Classify. Having his first run in Gauteng, the gelding was expectedly uncomfortable on the pacy inside track but stayed on well and will hopefully take his place in the big one at the end of this month at the Vaal. The favourite Romi’s Boy faded late to run fifth. Will Pays was bred by Northfields Stud and was a second winner for Imperial Stride (Indian Ridge) on the day after first-timer Rock Pigeon won the fourth race on her debut. Will Pays is out of the top-class six time winner, Rattlebag (Jallad). A 6yo gelding, Will Pays is now a winner of 9 races with 9 places from his 28 starts for stakes of R832 900. He is an entry in the Grand Heritage to be run at the Vaal on 30 September.

Natie Saddles First Winner

Former Mike de Kock assistant Nathan Kotzen finally broke the ice in his new role as trainer for his own account when the Toreador colt Cumulus won the third race at Scottsville on Sunday.

relieved looking ‘Natie’ said that the 3yo colt had shown some good work at home, but was surprised to see him win first up, as he said it was difficult to know what they will do at races. He was easy to back, despite the services of Anthony Delpech, and ran on well to win the 1200m Maiden Plate. Owner Alderman Rob Haswell, former Municipal Manager of Msundizi Municipality, was away in the USA visiting family, but breeder Anton Procter was on hand to lead the colt in. Nathan Kotzen was assistant trainer to Mike de Kock at Summerveld for 16 years, but went on his own earlier this year after the champion trainer made a business move to close his satellite yard down. At the time De Kock commented: “Nathan has worked with some of the best horses in the world, let alone the country. He’s a top horseman in his own right, he has the credentials and is well placed to make his mark. He won’t start off without support, I have left a few of my own horses with him and so has the Slack family. We wish him all the best in his new career.” Kotzen has been closely involved with the likes of

“That was heart attack stuff by my jockey! I’d really like to take the tactical credit, but in the end it was a helluva good ride by Jarryd – and the yard really needed the boost after a tough six months.”

Maiden Gold For Enaad

Goodman Judgement

David Rattles Goliath he case arose following an Inquiry finalised in Durban on 13 November 2015, where trainer James Goodman was found guilty of a contravention of Rule 73.2.4 in that he was the conditioner of the horse Aldric from which a urine specimen was taken after it had run on 10 October 2014. The Board imposed a fine of R80 000 and in addition, acting in terms of Rules 84.6 and 75.12, ordered Goodman to pay costs incurred by the National Horseracing Authority (NHA) of R45 500. On 13 November 2016 the veteran trainer applied for a high court review. On Thursday last week, Justice J Vahed set aside the findings of the NHA

Inquiry and the R80 000 fine. The NHA have been ordered to pay the costs of the application . In his judgement, Justice Vahed found that attorney Jonathan WittsHewinson, representing the National Horseracing Authority, should have recused himself from an Inquiry involving the prohibited substance case initially brought against trainer James Goodman in December 2014. The Judge highlighted an argument presented by attorney Bruce Armstrong of Shepstone & Wylie, acting for Mr Goodman, stating in effect, “… if a judge is in fact party to the litigation or in fact has a proprietary interest in its outcome then he is indeed sitting as a judge in his own cause…” The judge also made reference

JAMES GOODMAN sweet victory to a letter written by Attorney Robert Bloomberg, who had initially assisted Goodman, which was addressed to NHA Chairman Andy O’Connor in June 2015 citing a number of reasons as to why he believed Witts-Hewinson should recuse himself from the case. The National Horseracing Authority of South Africa respects and has accepted the judgment of the court and is currently reviewing its position and the effect of the Judgment on the existing disciplinary structures.

‘Attitudes Must Change’ – Mike de Kock I haven’t written a blog in a while, but the outcome on Thursday of the James Goodman prohibited substance case saw me pen in hand. NHA attorney Jonathan Witts-Hewinson was all but officially reprimanded by a High Court Judge for his conduct and behaviour calls for comment, writes Mike de Kock on www. mikedekockracing.com In my almost 30 years as a licensed trainer I have experienced the highhanded attitude of people like WittsHewinson and other NHA lawyers and stewards several times in my own medication charges. Of late, we’ve even had to deal with Racing Control Executives who attempt to influence the results and the penalties imposed by Inquiry Boards even before they’ve actually taken place, or before the process of inquiry has taken its due course. In essence, you are as good as guilty before you walk into the inquiry room! My own horses have been tested for substances around the world, in perhaps ten countries, and wherever I have gone I have experienced the perception that trainers are dishonest individuals or “dope artists” who couldn’t care less for the animal or the sport. This is public perception stoked over many years by bad media reports that emanate from respective racing authorities who are all too eager to make themselves look good and to justify their existence at the expense of the reputation of trainers and jockeys and, ultimately, at the expense of the industry.

Down Under

Just recently, for example, Australia’s

chief stipe Terry Bailey, his country’s self-proclaimed one-man mission into “cleaning up racing”, was castigated in the press for dishonest, self-serving conduct. In my view, 99% of trainers are honest horsemen with no drug agendas. But to err is human. We, they, all make mistakes. I presently have 170 horses in my own yard, among them are sick horses and sore horses who need treatment and medication. There is always a chance of slipping, and invariably charges result from veterinary errors. However, by NHA rules, which the majority of trainers don’t agree with as they are, all the NHA has to do is to prove that the accused party is the trainer of the horse in which a positive sample was found. By virtue of the fact that he or she is a licensed trainer, such trainer is guilty. Period. Until now, we have been unable to do anything about it. We’ve signed under duress to accept archaic, draconian rules. We’ve had no choice but to give Witts-Hewinson and company the right to treat us in an arbitrary manner!

Unfair

In the case of James Goodman, it is commonly known that the prohibited substance, caffeine, is found in certain feeds and therefore contamination is a real issue with this particular substance. I am not fully aware of the facts, but if James’ expert witness, Dr Tobin, had

MIKE DE KOCK tired of interference been allowed to testify and interview Dr Schalk de Kock, who knows what would have emerged. Goodman may just have won his case on pure factual merits alone. But this is something Mr WittsHewinson refused to allow in a way that was unconstitutional and as the judge pointed out, “manifestly procedurally unfair”. There are major costs involved for the NHA and its opposing parties in every case brought before them – a number of cases are driven to their limits of time by greedy lawyers and on both sides. How about a plea-bargain system when guilt is accepted, the mitigating factors considered and agreed fines paid on the spot to prevent cases from dragging on for years? I can only hope that the NHA, under the refreshing leadership of Lyndon Barends, will not only take appropriate action against their lawmen involved, but will institute significant, constitutionally aligned changes in the interest of fairness. Fairness is all we want!

‘Watershed’ – Robert Bloomberg The chickens have finally come home to roost! So says Attorney Robert Bloomberg, who responded to the Goodman High Court finding on the www.mikedekockracing.com blog.

For decades, and whilst serving as a Director on the Board of the National Horseracing Authority (“NHA”) and previously as Chairman, Jonathan WittsHewinson has been in the forefront of legal matters being a practising attorney. During his tenure, he happily supported the debatable expertise and dubious advices of NHA attorney, Nic Roodt. They have previously run roughshod over many in dictatorial fashion whilst on occasion hiding behind numerous manifestly unfair Rules that ordinarily would not pass muster at the Constitutional Court. In my opinion, he has always viewed the NHA as tantamount to a private boy’s club and pretty much believed that they, the NHA, were untouchable as the supreme authority in horseracing. This was particularly prevalent in the Rob de Kock and Denzil Pillay era. There have been many instances in the past and

in recent times where the “reasonable man” test in respect of perceived bias and subsequent recusal in relevant instances has been flagrantly ignored by him and the NHA. Thanks to the tenacity of James Goodman and despite the financial consequences, their conduct was finally challenged. In addition, we can also no longer tolerate undue influence and pressure being brought to bear by the Racing Control Executive on NHA legal representatives and personally handpicked Inquiry Boards in advance of hearings particularly in regard to recommended penalties. There cannot be seen to be interference in the judicial process as this amounts to exactly what has transpired herein.

Independence

This is a watershed moment in the

industry as this cannot happen again and must lead to independent Inquiry and Review Boards in the future. This judgment is an acute embarrassment and a serious indictment on both Witts-Hewinson and the NHA. For a judge to say that the “potentially conflicting” positions occupied by WittsHewinson was “unassailable” and that “proceedings conducted by him were manifestly procedurally unfair” and that “there was no structure whatsoever to the proceedings” and further that when Goodman’s expert witness, Professor Tobin, “testified he was denied the opportunity of questioning the specialist chemist (Schalk De Kock) employed by the NHA” is about as bad as it gets. We don’t care if he falls on his own sword, or the NHA ceases to utilize his services, but certainly as legal representative for the National Trainers Representative Body, we will no longer recognize or accept Witts-Hewinson in any capacity should he continue to serve on the panel of the NHA Inquiry Board, Appeal Board and Inquiry Review Boards.

GOLD CIRCLE

The Durban High Court delivered a damning judgement last Thursday against the National Horseracing Authority based on unfair and haphazard handling of procedures and a conflicted office bearer.

Enaad - wins the Gr2 Gold Cup in 2016

The Mike de Kock trained 2016 Gr2 Gold Cup winner Enaad outstayed his field in fine style at the Champ de Mars on Sunday to win the Gr1 Air Mauritius Maiden Cup.

he premier race on the Indian Ocean Island attracted a bumper crowd to the Port Louis track and produced an easy win for the Australian-bred gelding from the Gujadhur stable. Ridden by Steven Arnold, Enaad, narrowly beaten in his latest start, managed to go one better to give his rider a second classic win on the trot, and the third straight classic success for the Gujadhur stable. Enaad was relaxed in eighth position but quickly turned on the jets turning for home. He won going away to beat the former Vaughan Marshall runner M L Jet with Yashin Emamdee in the irons. The winner was bred in Australia by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Maktoum and is a son of ill-fated Coolmore shuttle stallion High Chaparral, a champion son of Sadler’s Wells. He is out of the twice winning Danehill Dancer mare, Al Anood. As its name suggests, the feature was originally reserved for horses that had never won a race in Mauritius. The records date back to 1843, when the Maiden Plate, as it was known, was won by M A Gonard’s Creeper. Since 1983, when won by the great Noble Salute, the race has been run over the classic distance of 2400m. The Maiden Trophy has been in use since 1935.

Bumpy Landing Last season’s Mauritius Horse Of The Year Parachute Man showed plenty of pace in Saturday’s Gr1 Maiden Cup but faded out of it late to run fifth. Like the winner, a son of High Chaparral, Parachute Man was an entry in the 2017 R5 million Sun Met but trainer Ricky Maingard and connections saw their dreams of competing in the Cape flagship dashed through red tape. The South African Directorate of Animal Health refused to consider the use of the Kenilworth quarantine facility (officially approved as an outgoing quarantine station) for their use on arrival in the RSA. The Mauritian raiders had intended that Parachute Man and his travelling companion would have been trained at Kenilworth each day preceding the big race.

Bull Valley - Horse Of The Season Dual Gr1 winning sprinter Bull Valley received some compensation for his Equus Champion Sprinter near miss when he was voted Horse of the Season at the annual KZN Racing Awards last Tuesday evening. An outstanding son of Bush Hill stallion Toreador, the consistent Bull Valley saw his stablemate Carry On Alice walk off with Equus honours last month. The awards honour the performances of KZN based and trained horses during South Africa’s Champion Season, the exception being Horse of the Season, which was open to all comers. The newly introduced Ride Of The Season, which was open to a public vote, went to Cape heavyweight Bernard Fayd’herbe for his memorable moment on Marinaresco in the Vodacom Durban July. After the Equus media snub, it was pleasing to see Tellytrack presenter Deez Dyanand receive a well-deserved KZN Racing Personality Of The Year award.

Pauline Herman

The R2,2 million 2016 National Yearling Sale graduate, who races for Mary Slack and Michael Javett, showed plenty of pace before winning convincingly under S’manga Khumalo. Form Bloodstock’s Jehan Malherbe signed the chit for the Varsfontein Stud (that sale’s leading vendors) bred galloper, who looks to have a bright future. Yamoto is out of the Gr2 Fillies Championship winner Townsend, a half sister to former G1 Champions Challenge winner Regal Ransom. Townsend will be remembered as being the winner of the 2010 Gr3 Diana Stakes at Durbanville, a race in which her champion sire produced the winning quartet. Bernard Fayd’herbe steered the Justin Snaith-trained Townsend home to beat Play Nice, with Possible Dream and Tick Tock rounding off the historic quartet.

Sean Tarry’s bold move to try the Dynasty colt Yamoto first time out over 1160m paid dividends at Turffontein on Tuesday when the classy looker came home easily on a well-supported debut.

Ernst Oertel

LEG UP I

Riding the crest of the wave of the UAE trainer’s log in 2014, Ernst Oertel lost his leg and shortly afterwards, his job as trainer to the president, but in a rare display of courage, resilience and determination, he has hauled himself literally and figuratively back into the saddle. If you think that sounds like a movie script, you’re not alone as Amanda Roxborough is currently completing a film about his life.

t is a foible of the racing industry that out of sight is frequently out of mind. The joy of the internet and modern technology means it is relatively easy to track down and chat to just about anybody anywhere in the world, something we can take for granted. Having made contact with Ernst via Facebook and arranged a time to chat, I offered a choice of Whatsapp, Facetime, Skype, etc. “Let me call you. Emirates has blocked Whatsapp,” he messaged. When we finally got through by old fashioned phone, I exclaimed about the difficulty in communications. “Pain in the arse,” he agreed equitably and I decided I liked him enormously.

About Ernst Born and bred in South Africa, Ernst started his horse career at Barbara Sanne’s Oldlands Stud. “She suggested I go to England and do a stud management course. I ended up working for Lester Piggott,” he adds, as though it’s the most natural thing in the world. Asked what it was like to work for one of the legends of our time, Ernst answers, “Annoying actually. I’d only been there a couple of months when he was arrested.” Deciding to stay in the UK, alongside his then girlfriend, Sarah Kelleway, Ernst started up Arabian racing in England. “We were the champion trainers ten times in a span of 15 years. When Sarah and I broke up, I started training Thoroughbreds and purchased a yard in Newmarket.” Returning to South Africa to look after his father, Ernst started training in Summerveld, but finding it a little insular, he later transferred to the Vaal. “Things were progressing when I got a call to ask whether I’d train for the president of Abu Dhabi. Obviously I took the job.” Ernst set up in Al Asayl, winning the trainer’s title in his second season and becoming the first Abu Dhabi-based trainer to win the championship. He collected his second successive title in March 2014, but unbeknown to him was already several months into what would turn into a life changing event.

Initial accident Ernst likes to ride work and in August 2013, broke his left tibia and fibula aboard Skoop, his 2013

Arabian Triple Crown Round 3 winner. “We were walking back from the gallops and the horse spun round. I heard a click and thought s**t. I tried to put weight in my leg and fell off, so I thought I must have been kicked.” They operated and pinned the leg. “The doctor said it was a pretty bad fracture and he didn’t think I would be able to walk properly again, but I started working and it seemed to heal OK. There was a bit of pain, but the doctor said that was to be expected, so I thought things were fine. When they took the plate out in May 2014, they never did a swab or they would have picked up that there was an infection and might have saved the leg,” he says matter-of-factly. “I flew to the UK two days later to attend the World Arabian Horseracing Conference. The leg was getting painful and hot and one evening it burst open.” Horse people are practical by nature, but Ernst takes it to another level. Asked what happened next, he says, “I asked the hotel concierge for the address of a hospital and went in the next day.”

Game changer A series of 8 operations followed. “After every op they said it looked clean, everything looks good and they think it will be fine, but the infection would not go away. Eventually they made a hole in the bone and it was rotten. I had some kind of superbug and the infection wasn’t responding to the antibiotics.” The infection had taken its toll and Ernst’s weight dropped to 50kgs. “I didn’t even realise it with all the morphine and so on. People who came to visit thought I was going to die. I didn’t feel it, I just felt tired,” he says, sounding bemused. “They came in and said we have to amputate. I got a second opinion of course, but everyone said there was no chance. Normally they amputate below the knee which makes it a lot easier, but in my case they had to amputate much higher up to make sure there was no infection and that the flesh was clean.” “Everyone says how bad the NHS is, but for me it was great. All the nurses were South African, so I felt quite at home,” he jokes. Was he very upset? “You can’t really. I just felt it’s happened and you’ve got to move on. I’ve got a great prosthetic, probably one of the best for walking

on, but it is a pain in the *** to put on in the morning and in the middle of the night you’ve got to hop around,” he admits. “But besides that, you get used to it. The great thing is that I feel as though my leg is still there. It’s actually nice, you can still feel your toes!”

Remarkable comeback Despite Ernst’s set-back, he recovered incredibly quickly and was back in Dubai by August. “I love being around the horses, so my main goal was getting back to see them and get on with training.” However, there was more to come. In the new season, he suddenly received a spate of positives for ibuprofen in his horses and was handed a 4 month ban. Ernst protested the charges strongly, going so far as to undergo a lie detector test to prove that he had not doped his horses. “The ERA accepted the fact that I hadn’t administered the medication, but as the person responsible for the horses, I was still guilty of running horses with a banned substance. Unfortunately that’s the rule and there’s not a lot you can do.” As it would not do for the President’s horses to be trained by someone with a medication positive, he was relieved of his duties, but undeterred, Ernst set up his own stable. “I’ve been coming to Dubai for 20 years and know a lot of people here. I bumped into an old friend who is a major player and he suggested we set up a yard

together. In my first year, we had 13 winners and last year he was champion owner. It’s the first time a local owner has been champion owner in the UAE, so that was an achievement,” he says in his matterof-fact manner. “When I took over, he had 5 winners and last year he had 34. I’ve now got 96 horses in training, so it’s going well.”

Back In The Saddle On top of that, Ernst is back in the saddle and back to riding his string out on gallops. “It’s really a matter that I enjoy it and I do what I enjoy in my life. For me, it’s boring training horses if you just stand and watch horses cantering by. It’s nicer to ride them and when you ride a good horse, you can feel it and it gives you such a rush. You can also feel what’s wrong and I think it gives you a bit of an edge. I love training horses and I love racing them, so that’s what I do.”

bad. I feel pretty safe. I can ride, I can jump on if I have to with one leg, it’s not the end of the world. If you’d asked me when I had two legs, I’d have thought losing one would be the end of the world, but it’s nothing. It hasn’t stopped me living and doing what I love and it’s all going well. I’ve got a running leg now as well and am just trying to live a normal life.”

Leg Up It is Ernst’s relentless never-say-die attitude that has inspired Amanda Roxborough to make a film about his life. Amanda deserves a film all to herself, having been a jockey and a trainer in her own right, before a starting stall accident made her trade her boots for production work. Amanda launched Kylar Productions in 2006 and recently won an award for her first documentary.

The pair met at the Darley Awards in California in 2014 and kept in “The first time I was back on a touch via social media. Having won horse was probably six months after a People’s Choice award for her first the operation. It had been a really half hour documentary, she was **** time. I’d lost my leg and when looking for a new project and Ernst’s I went back in story popped into August, I got the It’s boring training horses her head. “I’d ban, which ran a pic of if you just stand and watch seen till April and then him on Facebook horses cantering by I lost my job. I’d riding out in an been to another exercise saddle conference and when I got back, and thought ‘unbelievable’. We a friend invited me to ride. We connected via Facebook and I said fitted a make-shift saddle and I I wanted to do a documentary. He rode out and just progressed from said yes and once I got his blessing there. I adapted and made a better in true me fashion, I was out of the contraption and now it’s pretty good. gates and running. That’s how life And to be honest, it doesn’t feel too is for me!” They got funding for the project primarily thanks to Cavallas Equine Supplies in Abu Dhabi, have shot all the footage and Amanda is currently in the process of final edits. The film, titled ‘Leg Up’ will be entered for the Equus Festival in November as well as the Sundance Festival next year. Amanda has a blonde ponytail, a broad smile and an irrepressible energy. Why this particular project? “When you are a professional athlete, your job is your life, it’s who you are. When that gets taken away, there isn’t a great percentage that kick on, so I was really passionate about the message this can stamp for the greater good. The bond between horse and human has a powerful and healing energy and it’s a journey that we’re blessed to have. My vision is to empower others that have had a major life shift and help move them to their greatest life potential.” You can follow developments or get involved via the Kylar Productions website or the Leg Up Facebook page. And Ernst is on Facebook too.

Ernst is the first Abu Dhabi-based trainer to win the championship

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 8th - SUNDAY 10th SEPTEMBER 2017

SHORT HEADS

We called it that Joey Ramsden and Morne Winnaar would be back to winning ways in no time and the A$ 80 000 Melbourne buy Still I Rise (ex Costa Mesa by Encosta de Lago) was a good debut winner for the old combination at Kenilworth on Saturday. An accident in her box, that almost proved fatal, has not stopped the daughter of Street Cry from showing her ability. Interestingly her sire produced his 114th stakes winner on the same afternoon at Veliefendi in Turkey.

SHORT CHANGED

STOP! “Young horses are being persecuted by the handicappers and it really irks me, ” chirped Mike Azzie about his MR 91 rated 3yo Varimax before the colt ran in a Novice Handicap at Turﬀontein on Saturday. “Must we trainers run them no good? It’s not what we do,“ added Azzie. Varimax ran 18 lengths behind.

Almost 12% of the runners at Fairview on Friday were found to be not striding out post-race. While it is a secondary centre for sometimes problematic horses, we should not be surprised if the form book looks a bit dodgy at times.

Big Hit Geoff Woodruff’s Trippi filly Guns And Roses (ex Western Hour by Gone West) made it five wins on the bounce – from just six starts – when hacking up at Turffontein on Saturday. A winner from 1475m to 1800m, she was a R160 000 buy from the 2015 CTS Johannesburg Ready To Run Sale. She races off a rating of 83. What would the Azzman say about that?

China Flying

While racing was banned there in 1949, the sport in Mainland China is coming along in leaps and bounds. Their richest race, the A$ 200 000 China Australia Cup was run on Saturday and won by the Purrealist 3yo Striking Eagle, who is trained by expat Aussie, Brian Lawrence. A former high school teacher and hobby trotting trainer in Western NSW, Lawrence trained in China from 2003 to 2005 and returned in March of this year. He has 16 horses in training.

No Half Penny After their giant-killing act at Fairview on Friday - see ‘Dunked’ on pg 6 - Fairview trainer Duncan McKenzie and jockey Jarryd Penny reeled oﬀ a magic hattrick at Flamingo Park on Monday. Duncan tells Short Heads that his assistant and nephew Jarrett Rugg will be taking over the Northern Cape yard in the next few months.

NEW START Five-time Melbourne Cup winning Hall Of Fame trainer Lee Freedman is set to start training in Singapore. He has been granted boxes at Kranji and sends out his ﬁrst runners on Friday.

Billy’s Genes

The presence of the undefeated Dennis Bosch-trained Billy Silver ( Silvano – Evening Attire) at Scottsville on Sunday turned it into a Pick 5 for exotic backers. The very smart looking 3yo made it two from two when he beat three opponents to win the 1200m unextended in 68,72 secs – the fastest of the ﬁve 1200m’s on the afternoon.

MAGIC Joao ‘Magic’ Moreira started the new Hong Kong season at Sha Tin in style on Sunday by riding the first five winners on the card. Last season’s first meeting record turnover of HK$1.208 billion was surpassed when they got to a new record of HK$1.29 billion. Taking the Happy Valley crossbetting crowd attendance into account, there were 66 000 people at the races.

Gimme The Cup Varsfontein Stud’s young stallion Gimmethegreenlight, whose ﬁrst crop produced six stakes winners, lifted three awards at Saturday night’s East Cape Racing Awards ceremony – see pg 10. Queen Forever was named the East Cape’s Champion 2yo Filly, Beataboutthebush was Champion 3yo Filly and Gimme The Stars galloped away with the Champion 3yo Colt/Gelding title.

Hugh The Best Good horses need good jockeys. Trainer Chris Waller was very complimentary about Hugh Bowman’s ‘masterpiece ride’ after Winx won her 19th on the trot on Saturday at Randwick in the Gr2 Chelmsford Stakes.

Soft Falling Rain

I love the N7. A road may sound like a strange thing to love, but my family are from the Cederberg, so to me the N7 still carries the expectation of endless summers, Christmas holidays and the nostalgia of childhood.

HAMISH NIVEN

n Sunday, 3 September, Wilgerbosdrift chose one of the best days of one of the best times of the year to host a very special stallion day at their beautiful new facilities and I got to visit my favourite stretch of road. The Cape was in the mood for showing off. Blue cranes posed delicately in wheat fields and red bishops rose in noisy flocks from pockets of reeds. Lemon yellow canola fields shot bolts of colour across the landscape. It’s a relatively straightforward drive, so you can settle your foot on the accelerator and take in the scenery as the landscape flattens out and the blue-green of the Boland wheat and oats gives way to windmills and blue gums and heat. Big sky country. The mercury kept pace with my odometer and by the time I reached Piketberg, the temperature had stretched to 25 degrees.

Wilgerbosdrift is built around the definition that horses make a landscape look beautiful. The facility which had been a construction site on my last visit was quite transformed, with two rows of completed, occupied stables and a grassed courtyard / viewing area in the middle.

from across the country, all getting on with the serious business of catching up and exchanging news of the breeding season, new foals and the season ahead. Rafeef had made the journey all the way from Robertson and The United States, released from quarantine just five days earlier, had made the short trip from Moutonshoek. Admiral Kitten was the only one who didn’t make it. As he had only arrived at Moutonshoek the day before, it was decided to give him a chance to settle into his new surroundings before moving him again, although a good number of folk took the opportunity of driving up the road to see him at home. The stallions were distributed across the two barns, with the newly landed The United States holding court in the right hand barn for all his visitors. Having had his last start in the Audemars Piguet QEII Cup at the end of April, the white-faced son of Galileo is perhaps still a shade light from all his travelling, but is a beautiful specimen who is going to get more imposing as he lets down. He is a substantial and well-made horse with good bone and seemingly a good temperament to boot, posing very politely for visitors to admire him in his stable.

Flower Alley With Jehan Malherbe manning the microphone, first on show was Wilgerbosdrift resident, Flower Alley. I haven’t seen the liver chestnut son of Distorted Humor since shortly after his arrival at Wilgerbosdrift in 2015, but he is perhaps best described by a particularly impressed new member of his fan club that his photos just do not do him justice. Not to cast aspersions on any of the photographers who have tried, it’s just that it is impossible to capture his quality and presence adequately on anything as pedestrian as screen pixels. The exceptionally high quality chestnut, conditioned during his career by Todd Pletcher, was famously denied an honest run in the 2005 Kentucky Derby, when the front-running Spanish Chestnut tired of his pace-setting tactics,

Soft Falling Rain has somehow filled out even more since I last saw him, just prior to starting his first covering season. The globe-trotting Equus champion is the physical epitome of a sprinting powerhouse and where Flower Alley is all focus and intent, Soft Falling Rain still has a more youthful, playful air about him. Again his photographs simply do not do him justice. There was a group of his first crop available for viewing to testify to the fact that he is stamping his progeny. Included in the high quality group was his colt out of Alboran Sea, who drew a lot of admiring comments.

The United States

Last, but not least, Moutonshoek’s brand new purchase, the lovely The dropping back and causing Flower United States was walked out. By Alley to check and re-direct, leaving the mighty Galileo out of a Pivotal Giacomo to take the laurels in one of mare, this is the same cross that the most bruising and heart-stopping produced the KZN-based Flying renewals in the history of the race.

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

Weighted To Win Scottsville 27 August A pinnacle stakes topped the bill in Pietermaritzburg on Sunday and in what not surprisingly proved to be the fastest of the three 1200m races victory went to the best weighted runner in the field LONDON CALL. A winner of 8 from 15 coming into the race, the 7yo son of Kahal led throughout. He raced a length clear for most of the journey before extending his advantage to two and three quarters over the final 400m. Quickest home in the two 1000m races was ISCA in the MR96 Handicap. Not the quickest into stride when the gates opened Gavin Van Zyl’s charge raced in the backend of midfield early on. He quickened well going through the 400m and in what proved to be a real thriller he got up in the very last stride to deny the unfancied LIL RED ROOSTER. By far the faster of the two 2400m races was the MR66 Handicap won by the 4yo IDEAL WINTER. Sent off a strong favourite at 2/1 the top weighted 4yo was always handy. He ran on strongly at the business end of the race and with the rest well beaten he got the better of the joint second favourite SILENT OBSSESSION by a half.

He was always doing it easily when winning and won going away after putting his the MR62 head in front 250m out. Handicap over 1200m. The only other distance to stage more than one race was 1400m where the fastest of the three events was the MR66 Handicap won by the consistent SLEEPINSEATTLE. Deposed at the top of the boards before the off, this 6yo Mambo In Seattle gelding was soon up handy. He put his head in front Horses worth following at their next few starts... shortly after passing halfway and ALWAHSH (M De Kock, Gauteng) comfortably accounted for the DARKEST Hour (B Botes, Gauteng) fancied VAR’S YOUR DADDY by a DIE KAT (G Paddock, E-Cape) NINJARA (M Houdalakis, Gauteng) length and a quarter. Race four on the card was a maiden plate over 1000m TOP SPEED RATINGS and here we saw a comfortable for this WEEKEND victory for the heavily supported

Fairview 28 August The only distance to stage more than one race on the poly track on Monday was 1900m where by far the faster of the two events was the MR59 Handicap won by the easy to back KATNISS. Freely available at 16/1 on the off, Grant Paddock’s charge went straight to the front and attempted to lead throughout. She was headed by BANKS HIDEAL 300m out, but fought back gamely in the closing stages of the race to beat the running on NIGHT DANCER by a half. A MR84 Handicap over 1200m topped the bill and here another upset was to be had when AUDRIE DO registered her fourth career victory. Positioned in midfield as the twelve runners swung for home, the daughter of Kahal quickened nicely at the top of the short home straight and under a well-judged ride from Raymond Danielson, she got up late to beat the always handy OKLAHOMA SKY by a half. Fourth placed SWEETCHILD O MINE ran on well from the rear in this race. The biggest upset on the card came in the novice 1400m where the 36/1 shot AWAIT THE DAY landed the spoils. Another to run on stoutly from midfield, Await The Day beat the two strongly fancied runners VALENTINIK and CAPTAIN MARMALADE (both prominent throughout) fair and square. TITBITS

Progressing Nicely Kenilworth 30 August The going was good to soft on the old course on Wednesday where stopping the clock in the faster of the two 1200m maiden plates was FRESNAYE in the girl’s affair. She got away well when the gates opened and soon up handy raced prominent throughout. She ran on strongly over the final 400m and with the rest well beaten she got the better of the well supported TOWNSHIP MELODY late on. The faster of the two 1600m races was the MR80 Handicap in which we saw a smart performance from the lightly raced 4yo DEX DEXTER. Now a winner of two from three, the Dynasty gelding quickened nicely at the business end of the race and won going away by three quarters from the strongly fancied

COMMANDER BOND. They also ran two races over 1400m and quickest home here was CELTIC CHARM in the MR64 Handicap. Nibbled at on course into 8/1 from 10’s, Mike Stewart’s charge led throughout. She kept on determinedly over the final 400m and although her length and a half advantage was cut into in the closing stages of the race, she still had a half-length to spare at the wire. TITBITS Having only his second career outing here THE SUN ALSO RISES ran on strongly from the backend of midfield when third in the opening maiden plate over 1200m.

Two 3yo’s To Follow Vaal 31 August They raced on the inside track on Thursday where victory in the fastest of the three 1700m races went to the unfancied POLAR SECRET in the MR76 Handicap. Freely available at 13/1 on the off, the bottom weight was always handy. She was ridden to lead going through the 400m and comfortably accounted for PERFECT ORDER by three and a quarter. The faster of the two 2000m races was the MR66 Handicap and here it was nice to see the ultra-consistent 5yo GENTLEMAN ONLY gain his fourth career win. Sent off favourite at 17/10, Tyrone Zackey’s charge was always in touch with the leaders. He took up the running 200m out and with a ton in hand won going away by

three and three quarters. A maiden plate for the girls over 1200m had opened up proceedings and here we saw an impressive performance from the 3yo NINJARA. Sent off fourth in the betting market at 5/1, the daughter of Greys Inn wasn’t the quickest into stride and as a result she raced in midfield early on. She struck the front 300m out and cruised clear in the closing stages of the race to score by eight and a quarter. TITBITS After being baulked for a run 300m out, DARKEST HOUR went on to win the maiden plate over 1400m easing down by five and a quarter.

well as recent stakes winner, Johnny Bear (English Channel), who has banked over $300 000 in stakes. His daughter, Lynwood Chase (who is from the same family as current US star, Drefong (Gio Ponti)) has also made her mark. She has produced G1 Canadian International winner, Cannock Chase (now standing at Nunstainton Stud) and Gr2 Prix Eugene Adam hero, Pisco Sour, with both horses sired by Lemon Drop Kid.

There can be no doubt that the late Horse Chestnut was one of the greatest thoroughbreds ever produced in South Africa.

outh Africa’s Horse Of The Year in 1998, Horse Chestnut (Fort Wood) made history when spreadeagling a top-class field in the 1999 J&B Met. The Mauritzfontein champion also raced to a facile win in the Triple Crown, landing the Cape Guineas by 7.15 lengths, the SA Classic by 3.8 lengths and the SA Derby by nearly ten lengths. Sent to North America, he won his only overseas outing when romping to a five and a half length win in the Gr3 Broward Handicap. He was retired to stud after getting injured, with a record of nine wins from ten outings, and a reputation as one of South Africa’s finest.

Overseas

Horse Chestnut, who returned to South Africa after spending eight seasons in Kentucky at the famed Claiborne Farm, left his mark at stud overseas with such graded winners as Lucifer’s Stone, Askbut I Won’ttell, Spanish Chestnut, and Duveen. He also enjoyed success in South Africa at the highest level where daughter Chestnuts N Pearls landed the Gr1 Golden Slipper in 2015. However, it is as a broodmare sire that Horse Chestnut has truly left his mark as a sire - not surprisingly perhaps, as the champion is a son of multiple champion broodmare sire, Fort Wood, and did cover some top class mares during his stud career. He was in the news again this past week, with a pair of daughters

International

Horse Chestnut represented by stakes winners, in the form of Johnny Bear (Halton Stakes) and Orbolution. The latter, a first stakes winner for Kentucky Derby winner Orb (Malibu Moon), is a very exciting prospect, with 2yo Orbolution landing the P G Johnson Stakes by nearly five lengths. The filly, who has now won two of four outings, is out of Horse Chestnut’s G3 placed daughter My Rachel. Equus Champion, Smart Call (Ideal World), now competing at the highest level overseas, won or was placed in 13 of 16 local outings, with her three South African Gr1 wins including the 2016 J&B Met. The beautifully bred Smart Call, whose dam is a half-sister to Greys Inn, is out of the Horse Chestnut mare Good Judgement. With a plethora of above average

daughters yet to be represented as broodmares in South Africa, it appears unlikely that Smart Call will be the only local Gr1 winner produced by a Horse Chestnut mare. Horse Chestnut’s success as a broodmare sire, to date, however, has come largely overseas. This year alone, Horse Chestnut daughters have been represented by five international stakes winners, headed by such graded stakes winners as Fault (Gr3 Pucker Up Stakes) and Canadian star, Dragon Bay (by Parading). The latter, whose wins this year include the Gr2 Nijinsky II Stakes and Gr2 Eclipse Stakes, has won five times to date. Dragon Bay, the only graded winner by his sire to date, is out of the Horse Chestnut mare, Cologne, a dual winner who was second in the North Broad Stakes.

Multiple Winner

The Claiborne bred Fault (Blame) is out of the smart Horse Chestnut mare, Charming N Lovable, whose wins included the Flawlessly Stakes. Charming N Lovable is also dam of Gr3 Iowa Derby runner up, Betweenhereandcool (Unbridled’s Song) and the stakes placed, Congenial (Pulpit). Another recent high-class US galloper out of a Horse Chestnut mare is the very useful Zipessa (City Zip), winner of nearly $500 000 and runner up in last year’s Gr1 Rodeo Drive Stakes. Horse Chestnut’s stakes winning daughter, In Return, has also kept her sire’s name in lights –she is the dam of top class Canadian 3yo, Channel Maker (English Channel), winner of the classic Breeders’s Stakes in 2017 as

Unraced Horse Chestnut mare, Suffrage, also produced a highclass performer in the form of Suggestive Boy (Easing Along), a multiple G1 winner in Argentina and winner of the G1 Frank E. Kilroe Mile in North America and Gr2 Arcadia Stakes.Suggestive Boy’s own sister, Subtlety, was a Gr3 winner in Argentina. Other graded winners out of mares by the former South African superstar include Ol’Fashion Gal, winner of the Gr3 Jimmy Durante Stakes at two and Gr3 Selene Stakes at three. The champion is also broodmare sire of a Bernardini colt, who fetched $1.45 million at the 2017 Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream Sale. The colt is out of the regally bred Horse Chestnut mare, Winner, who herself made $700 000 at the 2014 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale. Horse Chestnut is not the first locally bred champion to make his mark as a broodmare sire internationally. Former champion, Hawaii (Utrillo), is broodmare sire of, among others, US G1 winner, Engine One (Vosburgh Stakes), and hugely successful sire, Hennessy (grandsire of Scat Daddy), while South African Horse Of The Year, Wolf Power (Flirting Around), is maternal grandsire of dual US Horse Of The Year and 11 time Gr1 winner, Wise Dan (Wiseman’s Ferry (by Hennessy).

The Breeders' Cup Challenge is an international series of stakes races whose winners receive automatic starting positions and fees paid into a corresponding race of the Breeders' Cup World Championships, which will be held for the first time this year at the Del Mar racetrack near San Diego, California, on November 3 and 4.

he latest qualifier is 5yo Guignol (GER), who led all the way in Sunday’s 1800m $163,000 Gr1 Longines Grosser Preis von Baden at Baden-Baden Racecourse. The son of Cape Cross earned an automatic berth into the Gr1 Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf through the international Breeders’ Cup Challenge. This means that the Breeders’ Cup will now pay the pre-entry and entry fees for Guignol to start in the 1800M $4 million

Longines Turf. Breeders’ Cup will also provide a $40,000 travel allowance for all starters based outside of North America to compete in the World Championships. Guignol, a 5-year-old out of the Monsun (GER) mare Guadalupe (GER), trained by Jean-Pierre Carvalho and ridden by Filip Minarik, registered his second career Gr1, having won the Grosser Preis von Bayern at Munich last November. The Grosser Preis von Baden was the ninth Breeders’ Cup Challenge qualifier for the Gr1

Longines Turf. The first eight to qualify are: the 4-year-old Sadler’s Joy, winner of the Gr1 Sword Dancer at Saratoga on Aug. 26; the 4-year-old Ulysses (IRE), who won the Juddmonte International at York on Aug. 23; the 5-year-old Hunt (IRE), who won the Gr2 Del Mar Handicap on August 19; the 4-year-old Beach Patrol, winner of the Gr1 Arlington Million on August 12; the 3-year-old filly Enable (GB), winner of the Gr1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on July 29; Satono Crown (JPN), who captured the Gr1 Takarazuka Kinen at Hanshin Racecourse in Japan on June 25; the 8-yearold Ordak Dan (ARG), who won the Gr1 Gran Premio 25 de Mayo at San Isidro in Buenos Aires on May 25 and 3-year-old Voador Magee (BRZ), who earned a Turf bid by capturing the Gr1 Grande Premio Brasil at Hipodromo Gavea in Rio de Janeiro on June 11.
