WAYNE MARKS

Poorly drawn Tap O'Noth has the class to give Vaughan Marshall a Cape Guineas double

Gr1 CAPE GUINEAS at Kenilworth this Saturday

It’s Time To Deliver

W

Second-guessing the 3yo classic standouts has been an exercise that has tamed lions this season.

Saturday could be the crossroads on that front. The running of the R1 million Gr1 Cape Guineas could finally settle a few debates and announce the arrival of a future star.

ith Dingaans winner Monk’s Hood and Gr1 victor Sand And Sea giving Saturday’s race a miss, the nationally representative lineup of 3yo males is a powerful one and brings together all the power players on the Kenilworth summer course.

The withdrawal this week of Glen Kotzen’s Gr1 Premiers Champion Stakes winner Eyes Wide Open is a blow to home town aspirations of a victory.

Top Trio Brett Crawford has a strong trio headed by Bold Respect, who appeared to be a trifle unlucky when beaten in the shadow of the Lanzerac Ready To Run Stakes post. The son of Bold Silvano gave Wonderwall 2kgs and a beating in the Kuda Sprint and he is set for a massive bid on the silverware – with the mile looking well within his scope.

Vaughan Marshall and MJ

Byleveld team up with Cape Classic winner Tap O’Noth, who bids to give the Milnerton yard a second consecutive winner in this feature.

The son of Captain Al has dominated the betting boards, despite his wide gate, and should easily adapt to his first bid at the mile.

Sean Tarry’s Wonderwall heads the champion attack trio and is the highest rated runner in the race. The son of Querari has not quite reached his Gr2 Joburg Spring Challenge level of performance and made no show in the Lanzerac Ready To Run Stakes last time. He has a wide draw against him, but the master Piere Strydom is in the irons and he is weighted to win this.

Natural Leader Second of the Kotzen duo, Pack Leader has pulled a wide draw and will need to beat that hurdle. The son of Philanthropist stayed on well behind Miss Katalin in the Lanzerac Ready To Run Stakes could provide the quartet kicker if he gets a bit of luck in running. He was reported to be making respiratory noises

last time and that will hopefully be remedied.

Brett Crawford’s Undercover Agent chased Tap O’Noth home in the Cape Classic at his penultimate start but was a touch one-paced when beaten out of the placings, but under two lengths off Rocket Countdown, in the Selangor. That was his first try at a mile and it is possible that the son of Captain Al did not stay the trip. He also has a wide draw to overcome here.

Last season’s Gr2 Golden Horseshoe winner Purple Diamond has shown nothing since winning that Gr2 in a tight finish and his two starts as a 3yo have delivered nothing. The son of Var has the advantage of the pole position draw but will need to improve a good few lengths to have a say in the finish.

The Australian-bred Sir Frenchie has not won a race in ten months but has caught the eye at his last two starts with sustained finishing efforts. He ran on powerfully in the Cape Classic and the Lanzerac Ready To Run Stakes and the son of Choisir should relish the extra 200m - he could prove some value at double figures.

Boom Captain And Master has failed to live up to his boom reputation and was beaten almost 3 lengths by Rocket Countdown in the Selangor Cup. Both of his mile attempts have proven futile and it is possible that he may be better over shorter.

Selangor Cup shock winner Rocket Countdown gets a chance to prove that his giantkilling act in the unofficial Guineas trial was no fluke. He surprised all and sundry there with a terrific late burst and that form will be firmly under the spotlight on Saturday.

The R1,1 million purchase White River caught the eye when flying late to get within a half length of Rocket Countdown in the Selangor. Up to that point he had won 2 of his 3 starts and had given no indication of classic pretentions. He must be considered if holding that form.

Held Cot Campbell stayed on without quickening when beaten 3,25 lengths in the Cape Classic. He received 2kgs from Tap O’Noth there and looks held again by the Marshall runner.

His stablemate Do It Again had no luck when baulked late and flying up for third and under a length behind Rocket Countdown in the Selangor Cup. On best form he must have a chance - but looks a likely Derby candidate.

Listed KZN Guineas Trial winner Sir David Baird is the first of the Mike de Kock duo. Gelding has made the world of difference to the son of Dynasty who ground his – admittedly modest – opposition into the turf in his last end-to-end feature win and may well be much better than he currently looks on paper. He could be a dangerous proposition

from his 5 draw if making further improvement and allowed to dictate matters out front.

Like A Panther won two races on the trot before showing pace but fading out in the Dingaans. The son of Captain Al is highly regarded but has his first run on a left-handed track and is something of an unknown quantity at his Cape opener.

Hometown The real strength of the De Kock attack is quite unexposed but the hometown boys could hold the advantage. Tap O’Noth looks something decent and if he manages to get lucky from his draw he is set to fight this out with Pack Leader and Do It Again.

The race doesn’t end there – all of Wonderwall, Bold Respect and Rocket Countdown look serious possibilities.

GOLD CIRCLE

Undefeated Last Winter can book his January commitments with a big showing here

Gr2 Premier Trophy

Gr2 PREMIER TROPHY at Kenilworth this Saturday

T

The R400 000 Gr2 Premier Trophy has not historically proven to be a major L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate or Met pointer.

But Saturday’s renewal includes a few possibles - with the likes of Deo Juvente, Horizon and Dean Kannemeyer’s undefeated Last Winter looking the exceptions to the norm.

The Gr1 Champions Challenge winner Deo Juvente has not run since that peak day in his career 32 weeks ago when he downed his champion Mayfair Speculators stablemate Legal Eagle in the best Gr1 finish of that season. The son of Trippi carries 60kgs on Saturday and is very likely to need the outing. The yard have adopted a softer approach into his Cape campaign than in 2016 and he is worth including.

Read more about Deo Juvente on page 9.

This is one of those weight-forage plus penalties affairs – with Gr1 winners getting a 2kg wallop and Gr2 winners just a kilo.

Candice Bass-Robinson’s big ticket galloper Horizon has been the subject of some Met long shot betting support and the son of Dynasty will have come on from his season opener when well beaten in a no show behind dual Gr1 winner Edict Of Nantes. His solid third behind Edict Of Nantes in the Daily News 2000 is a reminder of what he could be capable of.

Patience Dean Kannemeyer’s Last Winter has enjoyed a patient run into his feature debut – the 4yo has won all three of his starts in good style and takes his next step to the big league here. Interestingly, he gave Ollivander 8kgs and a 1,25 length beating at his first Cape start and

PAST WINNERS

the stable regard him highly. This race will tell us all where he is going.

Justin Snaith’s smart stayer Krambambuli has his first run since an unplaced effort in the Gold Cup over 19 weeks ago. The son of Black Minnaloushe ran fourth in the July and chased Icy Trail home in this race last year. He did have two pipe openers under the belt in 2016 and may need this.

Piere Strydom rejoins the enigmatic Silvano gelding Black Arthur. His recent form tells us little – other than the fact that he will be fitter and readier for battle. He is difficult to tip with any confidence and has more friends in the Bookmaking ranks than the punting fraternity.

Bill Prestage’s consistent seventime winner Milton is always likely to be thereabouts when the whips are cracking. The son of Lateral gave Mambo Mime 5kgs and got to within 1,75 lengths of the Gr3 winner last time out over the distance – but on the winter course. Visiting rider Gavin Lerena could be the tonic required to get his head in front where it counts.

The Algoa Cup winner Nebula gets a serious opportunity again to show

that he can be competitive in a major centre. The son of Silvano may need the run after a 6 week break but it is worth noting that he was regarded a July candidate at one stage and can come into his own as a 5yo – as this stallion’s progeny do.

Slow Out Platinum Prince won four on the trot and was then sent to the Eastern Cape where he was well supported to run a major race in the Algoa Cup. He was slow away but did run on without threatening the top six – finishing 4,30 lengths off Nebula. Platinum Prince is well held on that run but may be worth another chance at home.

The Silvano gelding Ollivander is only a one-time winner and has not won in ages. He comes in off his fast-finishing second to Nebula in the Algoa Cup 6 weeks ago but is 6kgs worse off with Nebula on that and looks hard-pressed to win this.

Glen Kotzen throws 3yo Opera Royal in at the deep end. The son of Oratorio registered his second win from 7 starts in a weak Handicap last time out and his presence may just be a barometer to show his connections

where he is headed. He is in under sufferance and would need to produce a massive improvement on what he has shown to threaten.

Ovidio is more of a staying type and he cannot be fancied on current form.

Tough A fascinating race!

We have the ring rusty Gr1 winner Deo Juvente, the R5,2 million yearling Horizon and the R3,7 million undefeated Last Winter.

Throw in the hard-knockers Nebula and Milton, with the Black Arthur diehards, and it’s a race that will give our January features some direction.

Last Winter is relatively unexposed.

His top jockey and seasoned trainer rate him highly. Saturday could be a turning point in the right direction.

Gr3 VICTRESS STAKES at Kenilworth this Saturday

Time Of Her Life

B

Mike Robinson’s gallant Royal Air Force mare Goodtime Gal steps out to defend her 2016 Gr3 Victress Stakes title at Kenilworth on Saturday. She looks stronger this season and has an outstanding chance of registering the double.

y far the best racehorse produced by her shortlived sire, Goodtime Gal has already banked the Diana Stakes trophy this term with a cracking win over the talented Gimme Six and stayed on well under a length behind Seattle Gold last time. She gave the Crawford runner 6,5kgs there and meets her on 5kgs better here – a winning turnaround.

Justin Snaith’s Star Express was not far off the best last term but never showed on her return run when 4,50 lengths off Seattle Gold. The top trainer expressed disappointment in that effort and rates his charge highly – but she has a wide draw to beat.

Dean Kannemeyer’s Listed Devon Air Stakes winner Meryl

was outgunned in the Western Cape Fillies Championship but then ran a better race when trying 2000m for the first time and staying on for a 2,80 length third behind Fresnaye.

She did take forever to find her feet though and this is tougher.

The in-form Ramsden and Marcus combination team up with the Silvano filly Epona, who has shown nothing since her polytrack feature win in the Listed East Coast Handicap in May. The super talented Safe Harbour has had two prep runs since her unplaced effort in the Vodacom Durban July. She would only need to recapture her best 3yo form to win this and rates a major danger.

The topweighted Nightingale was beaten 0,75 lengths by Goodtime Gal in this race last year and is 2kgs worse off with her conqueror this

year. The Majorca Stakes winner ran places in all of the Gold Bracelet, the Tibouchina and the July and is a class galloper who will strip fit after her pipe-opener last month.

No Spark

The Dennis Drier stable is yet to fire this season and the promising Premier Dance will be out to change the game for them. The daughter of Silvano looks well held by Nightingale though and can only be hopeful of outside quartet money at best.

The same applies to the Mike De Kock visitor Silver Thursday, who had some fair form before being put firmly in her place in the Cape Fillies Guineas a fortnight ago. She does jump from the best of the draw though and off a handy 50kg galloping weight could be worthy of quartet inclusion.

The Listed Scarlet Lady winner Louisiana was not disgraced in the Garden Province Stakes when 5 lengths off Bela-Bela. She showed some pace but needed the run when 2,55 lengths off Seattle Gold in her pipe-opener last month.

Captain Gambler has not won in

ages and has failed to assert herself for some time. She looks unlikely to threaten here.

Oriental Oak has a wide draw to overcome and her best effort was as runner-up to Wind Chill in the SA Oaks back in May.

Smart Girl

The hardknocking Winter Oaks winner Whose That Girl has stayed on well at her three runs this term.

She has the advantage of fitness on her side but has tended to be more competitive in the out-of-season competition.

Francia is more of a staying type and her recent form does not elicit any indication of a major effort here.

Brett Crawford’s Listed Stormsvlei Mile winner Seattle Gold showed the benefit of advanced fitness when beating Gimme Six last month over a mile. The daughter of Sail From Seattle looks well held by Goodtime Gal though The Highlands bred Dynamic Diana has won 2 of her 4 starts and gets her first exposure at feature level. She tries the 1800m for the first time and should enjoy the extra.

Double

Fillies and mares always make things a bit more complex.

Goodtime Gal has plenty in her favour to register the Victress Stakes double and she is the selection to hold Safe Harbour and the highclass Nightingale. Of the balance, Lady Of The House, Dynamic Diana and Silver Thursday could fill the minor money.

The Long Way Home

7

History shows that the R250 000 Gr3 Cape Summer Stayers Handicap dishes up some upset results with regularity. Saturday’s renewal hosts a small field where over 60% of the runners are racing under a handy 52kgs. That must be a cautionary that things could go awry again – and if the Cape Doctor arrives, it could make it a tactical showpiece.

Gr3 CAPE SUMMER STAYERS HANDICAP at Kenilworth this Saturday

D GOLD CIRCLE

ean Kannemeyer last won this race with Gold Cup champion In Writing back in 2012 and he brings the class to the table in the form of KZN Derby past winners Mr Winsome and Cape Speed.

Class

Mr Winsome has been set topweight of 60,5 kgs and the Gr2 Greyville 1900 placer is a decent sort and very capable of steamrolling this lot down late. The son of Silvano made a no show in his pipe-opener after he had run just 5 lengths off Equus Champion Stayer Hermoso Mundo in the Gold Cup last season.

His stablemate Cape Speed has not visited the winner’s enclosure since June 2016 when winning the Track and Ball Derby at Scottsville.

The son of Ideal World has had two good prep runs and caught the eye when rattling through late to be beaten 2,55 lengths by stablemate Mambo Mime over 1800m last time in a decent quality handicap.

Lightweight

The Ideal World gelding Cape Speed has the class to win

Joey Ramsden 4yo I Travel Light has been threatening to register his fourth success for some time and has run on well in his last three starts.

The son of Mambo In Seattle steps up 700m in trip and if he stays the

2500m must have a serious shout off the 52kgs mark.

Justin Snaith has been in prime form and his Silvano gelding Strathdon goes for his fourth successive win after a smooth victory in the Listed Woolavington Handicap at Durbanville. This improving 4yo represents plenty of value on his weight mark and could well go in again.

The 6yo My World is a solid staying sort and has his second outing since an unsuccessful bid at the Gold Cup last term. He ran fourth in this event last year behind Royal Badge and is a horse that has tended to lack heart at the business end.

Our Emperor ran on powerfully for second behind Red Peril in the Listed Settlers Trophy and then beat I Travel Light narrowly in an 1800m MR 83 Handicap last time. The son of Dynasty meets the Ramsden runner off a half kilo worse terms and there should be little in it – which one of the two adapting best to the 2500m test likely to swing the tussle.

Unlikely

Mangrove is bred to stay all day but is very modest at best. He was found to be not striding out last start when almost 17 lengths off Kinaan in the Kenilworth Cup and looks held by Strathdon on his penultimate effort.

The Listed Settlers Trophy winner

Red Peril will strip fit after three tough races in three months. The son of Western Winter stays very well but is at his most lethal when allowed to dictate matters out front.

He ran out of puff late when a 2,75 length fourth behind Kinaan in the Kenilworth Cup last time.

Course and distance winner Woodland’s Forest is a relatively modest one-time winner who stays well but lacks the necessary ammunition where it counts. He cannot be fancied to upset the better rated runners.

The likes of Strathdon and Our Emperor are on the up and take on the class Kannemeyer pair of Mr Winsome and Cape Speed. I Travel Light has always threatened to break through and his galloping weight makes him the joker in the pack.

Greatest Show On Turf

T

Time Warp’s victory in the HK$25 million LONGINES Hong Kong Cup capped an outstanding day of international racing at Sha Tin on Sunday.

he LONGINES Hong Kong International Races have been labelled the greatest show on turf and the growth in popularity makes it one of the great success stories of horseracing.

Attendance was 94,560 and

the day’s turnover came in 5.4% higher than last year at HK$1.6 billion, a new record for the meeting.

Highland Reel, Europe’s alltime leading earner, won a second LONGINES Hong Kong Vase for Ireland’s champion trainer Aidan O’Brien and will now retire to Coolmore Stud, while Hong Kong’s

top-rated horse Mr Stunning took the LONGINES Hong Kong Sprint.

“The depth of quality in this year’s races has shown again that Hong Kong is able to attract worldclass horses, and in particular it was probably the best Hong Kong Vase we have ever had,” Mr. EngelbrechtBresges said. “When we see a champion like Highland Reel coming to Hong Kong for his last race, it speaks volumes for the meeting’s international status.”

The biggest cheer from the crowd

came when local rider Derek Leung made all to win the LONGINES Hong Kong Mile atop Beauty Generation.

“Derek Leung’s win was tremendous - he rode a perfect race,” Mr. Engelbrecht-Bresges said. “We have invested in our Apprentice Jockeys’ School in the last 10 to 15 years and it’s great to see a local Hong Kong talent hold his own in international company – the reaction from the crowd was fantastic.”

The attendance was the secondhighest ever for the LONGINES Hong Kong International Races, and Mr. Engelbrecht-Bresges was pleased with the big turn-out and the day’s business results.

“It was the second-highest attendance – only a little down on last year – and that really produced a great atmosphere. We also had record turnover – HK$82 million more than last year. That’s an extremely satisfactory result,” the CEO said.

Anton Marcus drives Just Sensual to win

Gr2 southern cross stakes Kenilworth last Saturday

Joey Follows His Star

W

A shrewd move to fit the blinkers and a drop in distance made the difference for Joey Ramsden’s classy Gr1 winner Just Sensual, who bounded home to win the R400 000 Gr2 Southern Cross Stakes at a gale swept Kenilworth.

ith the South Easter playing havoc throughout the Peninsula, Kenilworth didn’t escape the wrath of the Cape Doctor and tactics and clever riding played an important role in races round the turn and up the straight.

Anton Marcus, who was to ride a double on the day for Joey Ramsden and Mayfair Speculators, had Just Sensual sheltered in midfield as the Southern Cross Stakes field stormed up the outside of the 1000m straight track, led by speedy Gauteng raider Wrecking Ball.

At the 300m, Just Sensual was switched out for her run as Hoist The Mast and Jo’s Bond looked very dangerous.

When finding daylight, the blinkered Just Sensual took full advantage of the blistering pace of the race as she lengthened smartly and reeled them in gradually.

Hard ridden, Just Sensual found her best stride late to get up and nose out the gallant 66-1 Hoist The Mast on the

line. She won in a time of 59,73 secs.

Sceptre Stakes winner Live Life showed some of her old sparkle at her second outing after a rest to run into third, three quarters of a length in front of 2016 Southern Cross Stakes winner, Jo’s Bond, who looked dangerous late.

The highly regarded 4-1 shot Sommerlied missed the places in a rare non-earning run in her professional career, but was only 1,75 lengths behind the winner and cannot be discarded.

Sean Tarry’s SA Fillies Nursery winner Green Plains ran well downfield in a disappointing showing.

The 4yo Just Sensual has won 6 races with 2 places from 10 starts and stakes of R1 533 750.

The Klawervlei Stud bred R2 million Cape Premier Yearling Sale purchase is a daughter of Dynasty (Fort Wood) out of the five-time winning 2008 SA Champion 2yo, Consensual (Camden Park).

Marcus and Ramsden teamed up earlier with impressive Australian-bred maiden winner Doyles (High Chaparral) who also races in the Mayfair Speculators silks.

Travel Helped Hugh Australian rider Hugh Bowman, winner of this year’s Longines World’s Best Jockey award which he received at a gala dinner in Hong Kong last Friday attended by nearly 1000 people, explained how his time in Ireland and England was pivotal, making him the top rider he is.

He explained: “I had the luxury of travelling to Ireland after I met my darling wife Christine – my first experience of the country was in 2004.

“I remember watching Kieren Fallon win the Epsom Derby on North Light and Ouija Board won the Oaks – that really opened my eyes to world racing. I had never heard of Kieren Fallon and, by the time I left, he was one of my idols.”

This year has seen Bowman partner 10 of the global top 100 Group 1 races which counted towards his World Best Jockey Award, with six of those victories aboard the remarkable Winx. He has had 16 Group winners (up to before racing today) in all during 2017.

The 10 qualifying Grade 1 wins came in the Tab Chipping Norton Stakes (Winx), Citi Hong Kong Gold Cup (Werther), China Horse Club George Ryder Stakes (Winx), Longines Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Winx), Chairman’s Sprint Prize (Lucky Bubbles), Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup (Werther), Colgate Optic White Stakes (Winx), Seppelt Turnbull Stakes (Winx), William Hill Cox Plate (Winx), and the Japan Cup (Cheval Grand).

WCET Appeal

The Western Cape Equine Trust is appealing to the public for donations of second-hand tack after their tack room was cleared out after a robbery, writes Michael Clower.

The WCET , which finds new homes for retired racehorses, has lost much valuable equipment as a result of a recent break-in at its Philippi stables.

On Monday, Committee member Leigh Taberer said: “The tack room was cleaned out and we lost our saddles, bridles, lead reins, halters and blankets despite our having serious locks on the front gates and on the tack room door.”

The Trust is appealing for donations of second-hand tack.

Deo Juvente

hey say it’s better to be lucky than good, but a little bit of both seems to be the best recipe. An ‘LBJ’ is the rather unflattering moniker for a nondescript, plain horse – ‘little brown job’. Deo Juvente may not be little, but with no distinguishing white markings, he is a relatively plain brown horse. A ‘BBJ’ if you will. On 6 May 2017, the Geoff Woodruff-trained BBJ pulled off the seemingly impossible when he beat Legal Eagle and Nother Russia in a titanic three-way struggle in the Gr1 Premier’s Champions Challenge, made all the more impressive after he lost a good few lengths at the start.

Behind every great result, is a great story and Deo’s is perhaps one of my favourites – not simply because he is a good horse, but because his story is firmly rooted in friendship, has delivered some very special moments to some very special people and because the cocktail is liberally coloured by the hand of chance.

Born From A Friendship To really appreciate the Deo Juvente story, one has to cast your mind back a good few years to the era of Sydney Press, Edgars, Northfields and Coromandel Stud. Young bloodstock agent Robin Bruss was enlisted to advise Press on his bloodstock affairs and help set up Coromandel Stud.

Robin advised on the purchase of Tecla Bluff, the sensational Millardtrained filly who made a clean sweep of the Republic Day Handicap, the Rothmans July and the Clairwood Winter Handicap to be named Horse of the Year in 1983. Press decided that his champion filly needed a champion stallion and set Robin the task of finding a suitable mate. Robin found Northfields.

When Press’ empire fell apart, he made Robin a parting gift representing the best of the Coromandel Farm breeding - the only daughter of Northfields and the great mare Tecla Bluff - Teclafields.

Unfortunately Teclafields only won a single race in her career. However, she proved her worth in the paddock, producing 10 foals, of which 9 were winners and three won at Gr1 level. Circle Of Life won the Garden Province Stakes and finished 3rd in the July, going on to be named Equus Champion Older Female for 1998 and 1999; African Lion won the Champions Cup; and Zebra Crossing, trained by Robin’s brother Neil, won the J&B Met.

Name Robin raced Circle Of Life in partnership with Mike Wittstock.

“We had a long-standing friendship going back to Zim days. Mike and I raced Circle Of Life together as a 2 and 3yo and I later bought him out.

Then Charlene became Princess of Monaco. The Monaco coat of arms bears the words ‘Deo Juvante’ which means ‘with God’s help’. At the wedding, Mike had to make a speech and at the end, he raised his glass and said ‘Deo Juvante’ which got him a huge cheer. When she had the colt

by Trippi, Mike came to the farm and had photos taken with the foal at foot.

I named him Deo Juvente in the hope

9

that someone from Monaco might buy him,” admits Robin.

“I was working for CTS at the time and Deo Juvente was bred on a foal share, whereby Klawervlei provided a service and I provided a mare. He went through the sales ring at the 2013 National Yearling Sale and Markus Jooste bought me out. I went round to the back, hoping to buy the horse, and as I started to bid, I saw Joey Ramsden standing three steps away and realised he was bidding against me on instruction from Markus. As you can imagine, I got run over quite quickly. The horse sold for R500k,” he remembers ruefully.

However, the story doesn’t end there. From the sales, Deo Juvente was sent to a spelling farm. When he was ready to go into training, thanks to an administrative muddle, instead of being sent to Cape Town, he ended up on a float to Randjesfontein.

Rather than upset the applecart, it was decided to leave the horse where he was, which is how he came to be in the care of Geoff Woodruff.

There is a wonderful quote by Anthony Powell which reads “His face bore that look of sadness with which you associate people accustomed throughout their lives to the boundless unreliability of horses”.

Some might argue that the horses are fine, it’s usually people who turn out to be unreliable, but

that’s a discussion for another day. If it is possible for that particular brand of sadness to be transferred into speech, then Joey’s voice carried its stamp when I rang up to ask about the story. “It was quite a funny year.

I bought a Summer Cup winner (Deo Juvente went down a short head to stable mate Master Sabina), a July winner (The Conglomerate) and a Met winner (Whisky Baron).” Did he remember why he liked him as a yearling? “I just liked him as an individual. He didn’t look his best at the time and he didn’t go for a lot of money, but he was one of my picks of the sale. And I never got to train him. But there you go.”

back of the field to finish a brilliant third to Light The Lights from a wide draw. A few days later, rolling in the sand after work, he cut his leg open on a broken bottle. “It was about a 6 inch cut and it took a long time to heal, because it was on the loose skin on his stifle, so the stitches kept pulling out,” explains Geoff.

a racecourse since. Geoff explains, “It was a great pity. He was due to run in the Champion Stakes in Durban and he’d been working up a storm. Then his back legs stacked and he got one of those little viruses that goes around and that was that. We were very disappointed to scratch there – we felt he was going to run a good one.”

As they say, you might not always get the horse you want, but you do get the horse you need and the racing gods decreed that Geoff Woodruff needed Deo Juvente.

After a six month break, he resurfaced in the Gr3 Jubilee Handicap at Turffontein on 12 June and cantered down favourite, but was pulled out of the race by Piere Strydom. Despite the team’s best efforts to prove his well-being, Deo was dismissed by the Vodacom Durban July panel and did not make the cut.

5yo Career

They decided to skip this year’s Summer Cup thanks to the handicapper, who pushed up his rating following his Champion Stakes win. “They made him a 115, but didn’t do much to Nother Russia, who was another short head away in third,” he notes. “As Derek Brugman rightly said, he could have run in the Summer Cup and would probably have produced a balanced third or fourth, but it doesn’t help and you tire him and possibly take the edge off for bigger things, so our hands were really tied by the handicappers. I feel it’s a pity, because they take so much of the gloss off the big races because horses can’t be competitive. If you’ve got a nice handicapper of about 106 and he dares get within a few lengths of something that’s within 120 for argument’s sake, handicappers take an unrealistic view. They don’t take the pace or size of field into account.

Until it’s addressed, we’re going to get 7 or 8 horses in a WFA Gr1. You can argue with the handicappers, but it doesn’t seem to get you anywhere and at the end of the day we all get penalised. Sponsors and the public are the main losers here.”

A Horse For The Big Occasions ‘Deo’ didn’t see a racecourse until he turned three, but won easily on debut over 1400m at Turffontein on 3 January 2015 with Gavin Lerena in the saddle. He would go on to rack up 3 wins and 3 places from 7 starts in his sophomore season. As a 4yo, he delivered several highlights, the first being gifting up and coming young rider Callan Murray with his first Gr2 success in the 2015 Victory Moon Stakes. A little under 2 weeks later, he fought stablemate Master Sabina all the way to the line in the 2015 Summer Cup for a short head second. He joined the Woodruff string for the Cape summer season and opened his campaign in the Peninsula Handicap on L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate day, coming from the

After another lengthy break, Deo started his 5yo season with the Gr2 Joburg Spring challenge in October, finishing 5 lengths off Kangaroo Jack. In November, he was just over half a length third to New Predator in the Charity Mile before a mid-field effort in the 2016 Summer Cup. He went down half a length to Romany Prince in the 2017 Gr2 London News Stakes in mid-January and then put up a courageous run in the Colorado King Stakes in March, finishing ¼ length second to Brazuca after casting a shoe and being carried in during the running. Geoff reunited Deo with his Victory Moon Stakes friend, Callan Murray for an 1800m Pinnacle Stakes at Turffontein in mid-April and then came that fantastic run in the Champion Stakes on 6 May. It was an incredibly emotional day for the team.

Deo book-ended Callan’s hattrick Gr1 wins for the day and Geoff dedicated the win to his mother who had passed away peacefully the previous evening. Somewhat ironically, shortly afterwards, Gold Circle rated him top of their July log for 2017.

Long break However, Deo has not been seen on

Cape season So Deo stayed in his box and the team have set their sights on the Met. They’ve used the opportunity to come to Cape Town in late November. “He has settled in nicely,” reports Geoff.

“What I wanted to do was to get him all the bugs and things through his system, and build up his immunity to whatever you’ve got going on down there and make him a Cape horse for now.” Daughter Lucinda has been looking after him at their Milnerton satellite and he’s reportedly settling in well.

Asked what he’s like to work with, Geoff says, “He’s one of those ‘stop it, no, I like it,’ types. He’ll lay his ears back and snap his teeth and you, but when you go to make a fuss, his ears come forward and he’s all soppy. He’s a big, long, heavy horse and handsome in a way that only a mother can love,” he chuckles. “He’s a real war horse.

Because he’s long backed, he hasn’t got a great action until he’s galloping – so it’s a nightmare to watch him cantering - he looks like a centipede coming towards you, but funnily enough, he’s been pretty sound.”

Deo has a Kenilworth grass gallop under the belt and will be running in the Premier Trophy on 16 December.

“We’d like to try and keep him at WFA, simply because you can’t give away chunks of weight everywhere.

We’ll target Premier Trophy, the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate and the Met – that’s our three race target for Cape Town.”

Denis Schwarz

T

Wednesday, 6 December 2017 was the dawn of a brave new world for many, but none less so than Denis Schwarz, who rode the first 4-timer of his career as well as inking his name in SA racing’s history books, by becoming only the third apprentice to ride the Jackpot after Muis Roberts and Athandiwe Mgudlwa.

he Greyville Polytrack meeting for Wednesday, 6 December was a drizzly 9 race card affair and Denis’ engagements started in race 2, where he grabbed a 4th place cheque aboard the Robbie Hilltrained Camphoratus. In race 3, he had another ride for Robbie Hill and brought Final Assembly home in third. With his ride scratched in race 4, there was time for a quick breather before his historic feat, which got under way in race 5.

In short order, he brought home Everlasting Love for Robbie Hill, Lala for Doug Campbell, Cosima for Garth Puller and Hey Georgie Girl for Doug Campbell, to give him all four legs of the Jackpot. He closed the card with another 3rd for Belinda Impey in the last.

It’s been a red-letter week for him as he also chalked up his 40th career win on Roy’s Snowdrops on Friday, 8 December and is now down to claiming 1.5kgs.

About Denis Denis Willem Schwarz was born on 6 July 1999 and grew up in Alberton in Johannesburg. He went to Orion Primary and attended Marais Viljoen High, before transferring to the SA Jockey Academy. He was always an avid sportsman at school, playing cricket and rugby at primary school and switching to hockey in high school, when the size deficit with his classmates got a little too big.

The inspiration for applying to the Jockey Academy came from his step-father, who encouraged him to consider it as an option because of his size. “It was never something I was definitely going to do, he just told me about it and said if I was interested, I should try. When Grade 9 came, my step-father told me it was time to apply if I still wanted to do it, so I decided to try and see. Just after my first interview, he took me to Summer Cup day at Turffontein. When I saw that, I was totally interested and it convinced me that’s what I wanted to do.”

He recalls being allowed to pick a couple of horses on their looks and was proud when two of his selections finished 4th in their respective races.

From there it was fairly smooth sailing, except for a near miss over his second interview when there was a small email muddle and it was a bit of a scramble to get all the

relevant information and get him out of school to make the interview, but it all worked out well in the end and Denis joined the intake of 2015 alongside the likes of Ashton Arries, Calvin Habib, Louis Burke, Sandile Mbhele, Dylan Lerena, Khanya Sakayi, Liam Tarentaal and Daniel Kotzen. “There were 12 riders in my group and it’s turning into quite a competitive year.” Among the group, he is good mates with Dylan Lerena and Ashton Arries.

Rocky start Other than a quick crash course on a family friend’s farm, Denis had never ridden before joining the Academy and things didn’t get off to a very smooth start. “Just after we got to the Academy, we went to a camp. We weren’t even riding yet.

We were playing soccer in the sand and I broke my toe. I was out for six weeks and hadn’t even got on a horse yet,” he laments. “So right from the start, I was behind, but when the other guys were being taught, I watched them and learnt a lot, so I was able to catch up quickly.”

Unfortunately that wasn’t the end of his woes. “About a month after I started going to track, a horse reared up and fell onto me, so that was another set-back and put me out for 6-8 weeks. But from there on in, I’ve learnt quickly,” he says cheerfully, adding that he was one of the first from his year to sign his papers.

Asked about his time at the Academy, he says, “I think the education is fantastic.

The one on one really helps.

My marks improved since I joined the Academy.

They also teach us a lot about professionalism,

hard work and determination and to keep your feet on the ground and not to get too far ahead of yourself.”

Milestones Denis’ first ride under rules came on Sunday, 20 March 2016, when he piloted the Craig Eudey trained Last Summer and Gavin van Zyl’s Ginger Biscuit at Scottsville, grabbing a 5th place cheque with Ginger Biscuit. His first winner was Chronological for Gareth van Zyl on 11 May 2016.

Denis is from a large family. His mother is a metro police officer and his step-father runs his own business. He has two sisters and two half-brothers and is the youngest child but one.

In terms of support, he singles out the Van Zyl yard. “Gareth and Gavin van Zyl have helped me a lot and given me a lot of experience – not just at races, but at the track in the morning. I also get a lot of support from the Wright yard, Mr Campbell and Mr Lafferty.” Asked whether Laff has invented a nickname for him yet he says no. “My family call me DW, but Mr Laff calls me Den.” However, in a nice touch, Sheldon Peters predicted, “We’re going to call him ‘Jackpot Schwarz’ from now

on”. On the track, he is grateful to I had a fall in January and tore the Warren Kennedy, “who used to help ligaments in my knee and was off for me a lot and I’m very thankful for six months. When I came back, it that,” and Bernard was a little difficult.

Fayd’herbe, who he “We’re going to call I was running a lot of looks up to. and places, him ‘Jackpot Schwarz’ seconds then I had a win for Career highlights Mr Campbell and from now on” so far are riding then things just got Pearl Emblem to three wins in a row, “To do that as better and better.” an apprentice is very special for Denis is currently Academy Head me,” and naturally, his feat last Boy and says he thinks it is unusual Wednesday. “I had 7 rides and had to be named head boy so early. a fourth, two thirds and four winners. “It is a special achievement to get it in my third year.” In terms of Red letter day future plans, he has his sights set There is nothing that succeeds on an apprentice championship, like success and Denis says when he but admits it’s quite difficult trying went through the card, he was pretty to take on Lyle Hewitson. “After confident that most of his rides had champion apprentice, the next goal chances. “There was just a maiden would be wanting to be champion that was a bit concerning, but my jockey and then all jockeys have first ride on that horse came 4th.

31 March On To Met Date

A

No additional entries were received for the R5 million Gr1 Sun Met at the first supplementary stage of the Cape’s flagship race on Tuesday 12 December.

total of 31 entries, which included all of South Africa’s big-hitters, were received for the race on Wednesday 29 November There is one final chance for latecomer hopefuls for the big one on 28 January, with Final Supplementary Entries closing at 11h00 on Monday 8 January 2018.

The weights will be published on the same day.

The 134th running of the Met will be the first at pure weight-for-age.

The recent Green Point Stakes runner-up Edict Of Nantes has supplanted his conqueror Legal Eagle at the top of the Hollywood betting boards, with the Cape Winter Series Triple Crown winner African Night Sky supported into third favourite.

The latter will gallop under jockey Bernard Fayd’herbe at 11h30, prior to the Cape Guineas racemeeting at Kenilworth on Saturday.

The likely presence at the magical Met meeting of multiple champion jockey Frankie Dettori, who is likely to ride for the second successive year, together with superstar host Usain Bolt, the world 100m and 200m record holder, will add a touch of international glamour to the event.

Inspired By Africa

Kenilworth Racecourse will be turned into Cape Town's very own catwalk on Sun Met day when the fashion theme 'Style ahead of the Field' encourages all racegoers to come dressed in colours, prints and textures inspired by Africa. Don your Afro-chic attire and get ready to celebrate Africa's Richest Race Day in true style.

Phumelela - Extra Meeting In order to compensate for races lost due to inclement weather, Phumelela has scheduled an additional twilight race meeting for next Tuesday 19 December 2017 at Turffontein on the Standside track.

The programme of events scheduled for this race meeting has been disseminated via the National Racing Bureau.

Captain Marshall’s Magic Milnerton trainer Vaughan Marshall trained his first Cape Guineas winner 31 years ago and saddles favourite Tap O’Noth on Saturday in a bid to register his fifth winner of one of our greatest races.

M

arshall and jockey MJ Byleveld bid for a double after William Longsword’s emphatic victory in the race last year.

Prior to that the former KZN-based trainer won it with Sea Warrior in 1986, Face North in 1990 and the legendary Captain Al in 2000. His stable jockey MJ Byleveld also won the classic on Le Drakkar in 2008 for Dean Kannemeyer.

Captain Al has four representatives in Saturday’s renewal, including Tap O’Noth and the son of champion sire Al Mufti and broodmare of the year Off To War, went into the 2000 Guineas as a 7-1 shot behind the well fancied visiting contenders, Badger's Coast and Glamour Boy. The Vaughan Marshall trained bay prevailed by three parts of a length from subsequent SA Classic hero, Glamour Boy. Further back in the race came dual classic winner, The Sheik (Cape Derby, SA Guineas), while the disappointing favourite, Badger's Coast, would go on to beat older horses in the J&B Met that same season.

The Guineas was traditionally run

Captain Al wins the 2000 Gr1 Cape Argus Guineas on the first Saturday in February and was run for the first time in 1955 as the Cape Of Good Hope Guineas for a stake of £4200. The 2017 renewal boasts a stake of R1 million.

The first Guineas winner Marion Island was bred by George Kramer at his Broadlands Stud and was raced

by Mr & Mrs R Engestrom and Mr J Carney, who was also his trainer.

The horse changed stables to Syd Garrett sometime after his Guineas win and went on to win the first of the £10 000 Mets in 1957.

In 1963 Cape Mellow-wood came on board as sponsors until 1970.

The race was sponsorless from 1971 to 1974. In line with the Cape Town Festival of 1975 the race was branded the Argus Festival Guineas and won by the brilliant son of Kirch Flambee, Gatecrasher.

It became the Richelieu Guineas in 1978 and in the next two decades had various sponsors from Topsport Bloodline, to Bloodstock South Africa and the Cape Premier Yearling Sale – up to Grand Parade Investments.

Markus Jooste - NHA Reacts Given the current media speculation surrounding Mr Markus Jooste and his recent resignation as the CEO of Steinhoff International Holdings NV, the National Horseracing Authority of Southern Africa (NHA) has advised in a press release dated 11 December 2017 that they have requested clarity and information from Mayfair Speculators, a company dealing with his horseracing interests.

Summer Season Slump

Where Is The Cape Sizzle?

I

In this day and age when attendances at race meetings are falling faster than our betting turnover, the perennial problem of how to market the sport - and how to market it to a new generation of racing enthusiasts - is an on-going and persistently problematic one. An interesting experience with some telemarketing companies got me thinking.

t seems one now gets calls trying to sell you anything from car to funeral insurance. While the odd one is OK, one tends to lose your sense of humour when you progress to several of the wretched things a week.

There are a number of websites and discussion forums on the subject offering all sorts of creative solutions.

As it’s that time of year, one of my favourites is to hand your phone to a 5yo and tell them it’s Father Christmas. I like to have some fun and take on the telemarketers at their own game and try to sell them something back.

I recently got pretty close to talking someone into attending a sale. True story.

As I dislike companies using my personal information to invade my privacy, I like to escalate the matter to a manager and lodge an official complaint and it’s resulted in some interesting experiences. One company was fast, efficient and polite, listened to my complaint, apologised abundantly – and more importantly immediately - skilfully diffused my ire and did their best to be of assistance (it turns out you can deregister yourself via the National Opt-Out Database – www. nationaloptout.co.za), leaving me very positively disposed and likely to recommend them and their services to others going forward. Another company has been nothing but obstructive, rude and dismissive, creating a much more protracted and unpleasant experience (on both ends of the line) than had they simply resolved my initial complaint on the spot. What started out as mild irritation, led to being convinced that I never want anything to do with their company or their services as long as I live. Moreover, I will happily advise anyone who will listen to avoid them too.

The point is that it is incredibly easy to swing things either way.

Which leads me to look at some super (as well as some not so super) recent examples from racing.

The good, the bad and the downright ugly

Firstly, let's talk transport. There have been distinct rumblings on the horizon that all was not well when Choice Carriers' name disappeared from the Fillies Championship on 28 October without a word of explanation. Then came the 11th

hour notice from Kenilworth Racing that there would be a new transport contractor as of 1 December. As the announcement came a whole three days before the changeover, and listed the new supplier as an entity no-one had ever heard of, it was pretty much guaranteed to raise questions, never mind hackles all round and instead of inviting in the new incumbents, everyone got rather good and cross, and everything got off on the wrong foot.

No-one is taking issue (or sides) with either of the transporters.

Without facts (always in short supply) one cannot take issue with the presumed logic behind the decision to change. However, what one certainly can take issue with, is the way the matter was handled, which has left absolutely everyone on something of a sticky wicket.

Suffice to say it will not go down in history as an example of how to make friends and influence people.

Summer Cup Wash-Out

Then we had Summer Cup Saturday-turned-Sunday.

While no-one can help the weather and losing a race meeting affects all of us, the heavy going was to prove even more treacherous on the Tote as the well intentioned idea of adding the Joburg feature to the Cape ‘menu’ resulted in the systems crashing for the day, causing untold irritation and aggravation. I happened to be on course at Kenilworth for the Western Cape Equine Trust race day and as it was a charitable event, everyone donned their best blitz spirit and tried to soldier on as brightly as they could, but races were delayed, horses got confused and worked up, and there was not even an explanation offered, let alone an apology. Which was tragic as while the racing fraternity turned up in numbers to support the charity, there were a good few Joe Normal folks invited to the day as well. What must they have made of it all?

Races go missing (RIP Jet Master Stakes), meetings get moved to just about any old day – and time - of the week to accommodate a foreign (in all senses of the word) programme and while we’re on the subject of programmes, there never seems to be more than about 5 race cards to be found on course for any given race meeting. Now before I get in trouble for having a whinge, this one actually isn’t selfish at all as I’m reasonably capable of picking out a good number of horses on sight, and even if I can’t, am perfectly capable of enjoying an afternoon’s racing without having to know the name or breeding of the horses that win.

However, there is someone at the course who needs a little more information and that’s the punter, who is constantly encouraged to bet bet bet. If you go to a restaurant, you are offered a menu. How are people supposed to bet without knowing what’s running? I realise that most people have access to smart phones nowadays, but are we expecting people to bring their own race cards? It’s honestly starting to feel as though we don’t want people at the course.

Fillies Guineas Flop

The next big feature race day was the much loved Cape Fillies Guineas on 2 December, with the Cape Merchants and Green Point Stakes sharing the billing.

There were visiting trainers and jockeys from all around the country, eye-wateringly, stupendously exciting horses, our dual Horse of the Year making his Cape seasonal debut and a willshe, won’t-she

conundrum in the Fillies Guineas leadership? Not a peep from the over Snowdance and yet another Operator and not a peep from the sterling effort from Snaith Racing who NHA, with the Chairman, CEO and turned up fully loaded and produced Racing Control Executive busy with 5 winners on the card. What there presumably more pressing matters wasn’t, was any build-up, any crowds at Hong Kong’s international or, far more maddeningly, any name meeting. panels on the number cloths. I’ve The Southern Cross Stakes race previously raised day, sponsored by SW the matter with Securities (who seem The best way to win a member of the terribly nice people), new fans is simply to Kenilworth team also produced some treat people well and was informed lovely racing.

But we get name again, sadly no panels for sponsored races only. marketing and no crowds.

Well, the Fillies Guineas is a Gr1 and Our horses and horse people are it was sponsored by World Sports undoubtedly all running their socks Betting (who also sponsored the off. What’s happening on the other Merchants and Green Point Stakes), end of the bus? so we can safely tick that box.

A few bright spots I checked the form for Gauteng Fortunately, there were also a Guineas day (also run under the auspices of Phumelela) and oddly, couple of bright spots to lend hope all of the Gr2 Wilgerbosdrift Fillies that there are still people with a grip Guineas and the Gr2 Betting World on the fact that the best way to win Gauteng Guineas runners sported new fans is simply to treat people well.

The first was Varsfontein Stud's name panels on their number cloths. So why no name panels for incredibly kind gesture in posting 4yo Emmanuel Teunissen, a racing fan a sponsored Gr1 in the Cape?

The food trucks seemed to go with a particular soft spot for Belamissing en route to the course, Bela, a surprise package of some leaving the day tripping unfortunates photographs and a letter from their in the cobbled together ‘paddock’ champion filly as well as a snip of her area stranded and then I’ll hand out mane. I can only imagine how much an award as it seems no-one else was this meant and what an impression doing it - my favourite faux pas of the it is likely to have made – not only day goes to whoever forgot to organise on Emmanuel, but on everyone who the trophies and BSA cheques for the knows him. It was not only incredibly post race presentation. For the main kind, but it touched an upcoming generation and gave them an early, race. Ai karamba. positive experience of racing and also paid dividends for the farm as the Elephant in the room Also, while it doesn’t seem the story has been shared several times done thing to discuss it, there is a over - as it well deserves.

The second win came from a rather pressing mainstream news issue which is likely to young lady named Romi Bettison, have repercussions who works at Moutonshoek Stud for racing. and who many of you may have met Where is our on visits to the farm or tending the Moutonshoek draft at sales. Romi made the time and effort to show an enthusiastic young teen around the farm, allowed her to check off a bucket list item of sitting in a paddock and having a foal fall asleep on her lap and even let her young guest experience delivering a foal. Again, a small gesture from one person with a life-changing impact on someone else. There were shares, likes and positive feedback aplenty and well deserved too. It’s people and gestures like this that put us all in a positive light and give us a reason to be proud of our community again.

It reminded me of an interview I read on Ed Sheeran. Asked for the secret of his success he gave one of the most interesting answers I’ve read. He says his father once told him the key to doing well is to work harder and be nicer than everyone else. James Blunt was topping the charts at the time, so Ed got a copy of James’ work, recording and touring schedule and doubled it. He also made it a priority to be as nice as he could to everyone he dealt with. Seems to be working out pretty well for him.

Perhaps instead of ‘rushing around’ and oversized hospitality tents for one-off events for one-off visitors, we should just try being nice to people instead.

New Stallion For Heversham

B

Heversham Park Farm has purchased the well performed Pivotal colt Wings of Desire. The winner of the Gr2 Dante Stakes and placed second in the Gr1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Royal Ascot as a three year old to Global Champion Highland Reel, this talented racer was also placed in the Gr1 Epsom Derby.

y the emerging sire of sires and Broodmare sire Pivotal, who is best known as a sire of Sprintermilers, Wings of Desire is out of the stakes winning mare Gullwing and as such he is a full brother to Eagle Top winner of the Gr 2 King Edward VII Stakes at Ascot and also placed second in the Gr1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Royal Ascot; and to The Lark, winner of the Gr2 D.F.S

He was one of two high class stakes winners produced by the champion racemare Petrava, South Africa’s Champion 3YO Filly of 1984. Petrava, whose 10 wins included four Gr1 contests, is also dam of fellow Champion 3YO Filly Hoeberg, whose wins included both the Gr1 Cape Fillies Guineas and Gr1 Paddock Stakes.

This is the same family as yet another champion filly Princess Victoria, dam of impressive recent winner Princess Vicky.

Jallad was a high-class athlete who won eight times from 12001400m including the Gr2 Durban Merchants.

Champion sire in 2001, Jallad has left behind 60 stakes winners (including 16 Gr1 winners), with the versatile stallion throwing Gr1 winners from 1000m to 3200m.

His best runners included Horse Of The Year and seven time Gr1 winner Free My Heart, ill-fated champion Rabiya, Gr1 Cape Derby hero Grande Jete, Gr1 J&B Met hero Zebra Crossing, Equus Champions Icy Air, Russian Sage and Succesful Bidder, star sprinters Scarena and Vega, Gold Cup winner Major Bluff, Garden Province Stakes winner and outstanding broodmare Lyrical Linda, and Gr1 Woolavington winner Zirconeum.

Jallad has also made his mark as a broodmare sire, with his daughters producing Gr1 winners Eyes Wide Open, Martial Eagle, Solo Traveller, Shea Shea and recent Sansui Summer Cup winner Liege.

Trained by Gavin Van Zyl, Masta Silva was bred by the Reinels Stud and is out of the Silvano mare Silver Vanity.

Premier Trophy O On The Go! Winner In Dubai

Avontuur’s international stakes producing sire Oratorio had two winners this past weekend – including the first baby race winner in the Cape.

A former European champion and triple Gr1 winner, Oratorio sired the Boland Stud bred Jephthah who made a winning debut over 900m for trainer Vaughan Marshall and Avontuur sponsored jockey MJ Byleveld at Kenilworth on Saturday.

Jephthah, who was produced by the Spectrum mare Sacred Vow, was a first juvenile runner for his sire this season.

On the same afternoon, Oratorio produced War Legend, who scored over 1800m at the Vaal for trainer Lucky Houdalakis. Bred by Sidney Cassel, War Legend was a R200 000 purchase from the 2016 Emperors Palace Select Yearling Sale.

The son of Danehill will be represented in Saturday’s Gr2 Premier Trophy by his impressive recent winner Opera Royal, rated a potential classic contender by trainer Glen Kotzen.

Wings of Desire ticked all of these boxes with the added bonus that he preferred going that was good to firm, thereby enhancing his appeal to South African breeders.

We are also following the latest trend in South Africa of important classic distance type stallions. The farm is only some four hours from the Nottingham Road area and we are currently negotiating with a leading transport company to subsidise the cost of the transportation of mares utilising the services of all of our stallions, from KZN and the Cape .”

Last year’s Gr2 Premier Trophy winner Icy Trail is one of seven former South African runners destined for the 2018 Dubai Racing Carnival that have arrived in the UAE and will be spending a few days in quarantine before joining Mike de Kock’s Blue Stables at Meydan.

old Rex, Icy Trail, Al Sahem, Smiling Blue Eyes, Janoobi and, as reported in our Short Heads insert this week, Belle Rose, will be racing for Mike de Kock this term, while 2017 Sun Met winner Whisky Baron will also be based at Blue Stables, but will race for his original trainer, Brett Crawford.

Mike commented: “They all travelled well from Newmarket in the UK. Bold Rex and Icy Trial were sent to Newmarket early and along with Whisky Baron they have done a lot of work and are the fittest of

the bunch.

“Icy Trail is a new acquisition who won six races for Candice Bass-Robinson. He looks a tough and decent sort, in the mould of some of our quality desert runners like Sanshaawes and Light The Lights. Bold Rex is a handicapper on the up and he, too, can do well here.

“Al Sahem and company arrived via Mauritius later than the others and are behind in fitness levels, but I’m not going to rush them. We’ll race them into form next year,” says the multiple SA champion trainer.

His sire Master Of My Fate – at R3 000 000 the top colt sold from the 2011 National Sale- was a top class athlete, who won six of his only eight starts.

Master Of My Fate, who won from 1200-1800 metres, scored in both the Gr2 Premier Trophy and Gr2 Peninsula Handicap, before defeating all of Capetown Noir, King Of Pain, Wylie Hall, Do You Remember, Jackson and Master Sabina in the 2014 Gr1 J&B Met. A son of seven times champion sire Jet Master, Master Of My Fate is one of two stakes winners produced by Elliodor’s Equus Champion Promisefrommyheart.

The latter’s stakes winning daughter Justthewayyouare is dam of G3 Lonsdale Stirrup Cup/G3 East Cape Derby winner Captain Splendid.

The Reel Deal!

The indomitable Galileo’s son Highland Reel has had his first year stud fee set at €17,500 and joins the powerful Coolmore band after his scintillating Gr1 Hong Kong Vase success on Sunday.

Highland Reel was the highest earning European-trained horse of all time recording seven memorable Gr1 wins including the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes over Ulysees and Decorated Knight.

Bred on the same Galileo/ Danehil cross as Frankel and Teofilo, Highland Reel hails from the family of Starspangledbanner who sired a remarkable 25% Stakes winners to runners from his first northern hemisphere crop.

And trainer Aidan O’Brien’s message was clear after the Gr1 Hong Kong Vase win on Sunday Highland Reel is ‘Irreplaceable’ as the unique son of Galileo heads to a new career as a stallion at Coolmore.

Highland Reel closed out his globetrotting career with a second victory in the HK$18 million Vase at Sha Tin Racecourse, a win that epitomised his remarkable time as a racehorse: a street-fighting, stamina-laden seventh Gr1 success on a racetrack thousands of miles from home.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 15th - SUNDAY 17th DECEMBER 2017

ine of the top ten are descended directly from the 1964 Kentucky Derby winner, with the sole sire not to do so, Dabirsim (Hat Trick), still carrying a line of Northern Dancer in his pedigree through his broodmare sire, Royal Academy.

Dancer Dominates

An even more telling sign of Northern Dancer dominance today can be seen in the fact that six of the top ten leading first crop sires on the GB list are inbred to that diminutive bay. All of Society Rock, Havana Gold, Lethal Force (Dark Angel), Declaration Of War (War Front), Epaulette (Commands) and Red Jazz (Johannesburg) carry at least two strains of Northern Dancer in their pedigree.

Inbreeding to the great stallion has previously resulted in such outstanding sires as Oasis Dream (Green Desert), Dubawi (Dubai Millennium), Dansili (Danehill), Frankel (Galileo), Redoute’s Choice (Danehill) and Teofilo (sire of Havana Gold), as well as Rock Of Gibraltar (sire of Society Rock).

Havana Gold and Lethal Force (second and third leading first crop sires respectively) are both out of

mares by Green Desert stallion, Desert Style.

The Leading First Crop Sires in Britain list, according to Arion. co.nz, is headed by short lived sprint star Society Rock.

Rock Steady

One of 15 Gr1 winners for Horse Of The Year, Rock Of Gibraltar, Society Rock’s first crop of runners this season have earned over £460 000 - nearly double the total of runner up, and hugely promising Teofilo son, Havana Gold. Society Rock was also the first of this bunch of young stallions represented by a Gr1 winner, when his son, Unfortunately, won the Gr1 Prix Morny.

Unfortunately, who also landed the Gr2 Prix Robert Papin, has earned more than £250 000 from his seven outings to date and he will stand at the Cheveley Park Stud when he retires.

Another by the sire, Tangled, won the Goffs Premier Yearling Stakes, to claim a rich first prize of £184 350. According to Arion, Society Rock’s British 2yos this season include 23 winners of 32 individual races with Tangled - also a close second in the Gr3 Horris Hill Stakes- his sire’s leading

British representative.

Society Rock died of laminitis, back in 2016.

One of the very best sons of Rock Of Gibraltar, Society Rock was a top class sprinter, who earned more than £1 000 000 in prize money. Beaten two lengths by Black Caviar in the 2015 Gr1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes, he scored all six career wins over 1200 metres. Society Rock’s career highlights included wins in the 2012 Gr1 Betfred Sprint Cup, the 2011 Gr1 Golden Jubilee Stakes (beating Star Witness and Bated Breath) and 2013 Gr2 Duke Of York Stakes. To date, he is Rock Of Gibraltar’s top earning son in Britain.

Danzig

One of the interesting features of Society Rock’s pedigree is that he is inbred to the ubiquitous Danzig, with Society Rock being sired by a grandson of Danzig and produced by a mare by Key Of Luck (another grandson of Danzig).

Inbreeding to Danzig has produced a plethora of Gr1 winners, with the list on the increase. This pattern can also be found in the pedigrees of successful sire, Bushranger (Myboycharlie), and promising young Australian sire, All Too Hard (Casino Prince).

Inbreeding to the unbeaten Danzig, who must surely rate as one of history’s most influential stallions, has also resulted in Gr1 winners Barney Roy (Excelebration), Catchy (Fastnet Rock), Cracksman (Frankel)

Pomodoro Youngster Pleases Tarry

P

Klawervlei Stud’s promising young stallion Pomodoro, who provided champion trainer Sean Tarry with his first success in the Vodacom Durban July, made an eye catching start to his stud career when his very first two-year-old to race ran a storming second over 900 metres at Kenilworth on Saturday.

omodoro colt Royal Italian, trained like Pomodoro by Sean and owned like his famous sire by Chris Van Niekerk, made a big first impression when running on strongly for second place, beaten just a head, in the Cape’s first juvenile race of the 2017-2018 racing season and he looks to have a bright future ahead of him.

Bred by Highlands Stud, Royal Italian was a R100 000 buy from the 2017 Emperors Palace Select Yearling Sale.

His trainer Sean Tarry commented about Pomodoro and his progeny after Royal Italian’s eye catching debut, “It hasn’t taken as long as expected for the penny to drop with them, and they are starting to improve quickly now. Royal Italian’s run on Saturday is very exciting for Pomodoro-especially that they are showing this early over the minimum trip and it is also a quick reminder that his Broodmare Of The Year dam Golden Apple had solid early juvenile form. Royal Italian himself will be aimed at

one of the big two-year-old races on Sun Met day next year.”

This was a smart start for the former Derby winning Pomodoro, who has a large number of well-bred two-yearolds yet to represent him this season.

An exceptionally versatile and talented performer himself, Pomodoro (who himself never raced at two) won eight races from 1160-2450m with his victories including the G1 Vodacom Durban July and Gr1 SA Derby.

Pomodoro, who won or placed in seven Gr1 races, accounted for some of the best horses of his generation, including champions Beach Beauty, Capetown Noir, and leading first season sire What A Winter.

One of 22 Gr1 winners for seven times champion sire Jet Master, Pomodoro is out of Broodmare Of The Year Golden Apple, herself a daughter of multiple champion sire and broodmare sire Northern Guest. (He is bred on the same Jet Master/Northern Guest cross as champions J J The Jet Plane and In The Fast Lane).

Northern Dancer line stallions once again dominate the Leading First Crop Sires in Britain list for 2017.

Product of inbreedng to Danzig - Sunday's Hong Kong Sprint winner, Mr Stunning and Humidor (Teofilo) - as well as Sunday’s Hong Kong Sprint winner, Mr Stunning (Exceed And Excel).

Havana Gold, second on GB’s leading first crop sires list, is another inbred to Danzig. With numerous descendants of Danzig yet to retire to stud, thanks to the likes of Danehill and his sire sons, War Front, Green Desert and his sire sons, and Hard Spun, this list looks sure to grow still further in future.

Solitary

However, the Danzig connection is not the only interesting feature of Society Rock’s pedigree. The dual Gr1 winner is out of High Society, winner of Ireland’s Rochestown Stakes and

the US’ La Habra Stakes. Society Rock is the only stakes winner produced by High Society, but is one of two Gr1 Diamond (Golden) Jubilee Stakes winners produced by daughters of Key Of Luck, with Darley sire, Slade Power (produced

by Key Of Luck mare Girl Power), having won the Jubilee in 2014.

Society Rock’s second and third dams never won a race, and he is the only Gr1 winner produced in this family in recent generations.

He hails from the same family as Rose Prince, the grandsire of multiple champion sire and broodmare sire Princequillo, whose daughters produced the likes of Secretariat, Mill Reef and Kris S.

Weekend

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

Vintage Performance

Scottsville 3 December The first race of the season for 2yo’s in the province got proceedings underway on Sunday and here victory went to the favourite VERTICAL DESCENT. Soon into stride, Mike Miller’s charge raced up with the speed throughout. He kept on strongly at the business end of the race and won by a half.

Four of the afternoon’s ten races were staged over 1200m and stopping the clock in the fastest time amongst these was WYNKELDER in the KZN Summer Challenge Final. More often than not positioned in the rear in his races, Tony Rivalland’s charge again came from off them. He ran on best of all over the final 400m and under a well-judged ride from Mandla Ntuli, he got up late.

Quickest home in the three 1600m races was SEATTLE SKYLINE when winning the MR89 Handicap.

Always handy, Dennis Drier’s charge ran on strongly in the closing stages of the race and got the better of ADMIRAL’S GUEST by a half.

TITBITS The newcomer STATUTE (a full sister to Legislate) couldn’t have been more impressive on debut when coming from midfield to win the maiden plate for 3yo fillies going away by five.

Raining Throughout

Kenilworth 5 December They raced on the new course on Tuesday, where, by far the fastest of the three 1200m races was the MR76 Handicap won by WESTON. Easy to back at 9/1 on the off, Justin Snaith’s charge was soon up handy. She was ridden to lead 200m out and kept on strongly late to beat the more fancied RUSTAR DHOW by three quarters.

Surprisingly the faster of the two 1600m handicaps was the MR64 affair in which BRIDAL PARTY put in a smart performance.

Guarding the rear as the ten runners swung for home, the daughter of Ideal World ran on best of all in the straight and under a well-judged ride from Grant Van Niekerk, she won going away by a length and a quarter.

The maiden plate for the girls was the faster of the two slowly run 1400m events and here we found one to follow in MIYABI. Well regarded by trainer Justin Snaith, Miyabi Gold raced in midfield for most of the journey. She quickened well going through the 400m and after striking the front 180m later, she went on to score easing down by a length and a quarter.

TITBITS

Greyville 6 December

Having been dropped 19 points by the official handicapper since July, it was no real surprise to see the well supported PURPLE MOUNTAINS win the MR72 Handicap over 1200m.

This meeting was originally scheduled to take place at Scottsville.

A maiden juvenile plate over 1000m (originally scheduled for 800m) got proceedings underway on the poly track and here victory went to the well-supported favourite CRIMEAN QUEEN. Trained by Michael Miller, who has now saddled both winners of the juvenile races in the province, the daughter of Crusade led throughout. She was always travelling well and won without any anxious moments by two.

There were three races run over 1000m in total and given that it was the only one not run in heavy rain it was no surprise to see the boy’s division of the maiden plate recording the fastest time. Another to race from the front, Moon Shadow was passed by the fancied GREAT DICTATOR 200m out, but fought back gamely below the distance to get the verdict on the nod.

They also ran three races over 1400m and by far the quickest home amongst these was the first to be run, a maiden plate. Sent off an easy to back second favourite at 11/2, the eventual winner OUZO was always handy. He ran on well

ATING SPEED R WON 18/1

The inside track saw the action at the Vaal on Thursday where five of the afternoon’s ten races were staged over 1200m. The MR65 Handicap proved to be the fastest of these and here the 4yo LAUREN OF ROCHELLE caused a major upset. Freely available at 18/1 on the off, Clinton Binda’s charge raced in midfield during the early part of the race.

He ran on strongly from halfway, and after striking the front 200m out, won well by a length and a half.

A MR65 Handicap was also the quickest of the three 1400m races and here the costly to follow SHORTSTOP registered his second career victory. Another to run on stoutly from off the pace, Roy Magner’s charge finished best of all and got up in the shadow of the post.

The two remaining races were both run over 1700m and stopping the clock in the faster time here was SAMAR in the MR72 apprentice handicap. The pace was on from the start and soon up handy, the Bezrin gelding was perfectly placed to strike. He did so as they approached the 400m marker and cruised clear in the closing stages of the race to score by five and three quarters.

TITBITS The best bet on the card for many, WHITE WINTER won the maiden plate over 1200m with some in hand.

Easy to back at 7/1, LUNAR DANCER came from midfield when winning the girl’s division of the maiden plate over 1200m going away by three quarters.

Word Game Greyville 8 December Two maiden plates over 1200m got proceedings underway on the poly track on Friday and in the faster of these it was nice to see the well exposed TURF CONQUEROR get off the mark.

Positioned in midfield when the race began in earnest, Paul Lafferty’s charge finished best of all and won going away after striking the front 200m out.

Three of the evening’s nine races were staged over 1400m and in the fastest of these, a MR66 Handicap we saw a smart performance from the lightly raced 3yo SCRABBLE. Burdened with top weight of 61kg, the son of Byword wasn’t the quickest into stride. Despite that though, he was soon in touch with the leaders. He put his head in front as they approached the 200m pole and won going away by two and a quarter.

Another to win well was THE KING OF RANDOM when registering his second career victory in the MR66 Handicap over 1000m. In what proved to be the faster of the two events over the distance, Michael Roberts’ charge raced in midfield for most of the journey. Once in the straight though he ran on best of all and after striking the front 200m out won going away.

TITBITS The heavily supported favourite MASTER SAM won the MR66 Handicap over 1400m with authority by two and three quarters.

in the straight and although the wellsupported favourite THE GREY CRUSADER chased hard, he did have that one held by a length and three quarters at the wire.

TITBITS Again the fastest of the three 1600m events was won by the first to run, the pinnacle stakes won by LALA. Doug Campbell’s charge struck the front 300m out and won with plenty in hand by two and a half.
