Sophomore Sprint winner Lord Balmoral gets the blinkers on Saturday

LISTED SOUTHEASTER SPRINT at Kenilworth this Saturday

O

The final Cape feature of the year, the aptly named R150 000 Listed Southeaster Sprint, will be run at Kenilworth on Saturday. The race is packed with speed class and being run on handicap terms, has an open look about it.

ne of Cape Town’s favourite speedsters looks set for a big run on Saturday. The 4yo Sergeant Hardy famously suffers from a breathing impairment courtesy of a vocal chord paralysis. But this has not stopped the son of Captain Al from winning 6 of his 14 starts and he could maintain his sire’s great run with a big effort. After winning his first start as a 4yo in sterling fashion, Sergeant Hardy went down 3,25 lengths behind Silicone Valley in the Gr2 Cape Merchants at his last start and gets Bernard Fayd’herbe back in the saddle on Saturday,

Fitness Dennis Drier’s Horse Guards comes in off a 21 week break and is likely to need the outing as the raiding horses have tended to do.

The son of Horse Chestnut started his career in great style winning his first two on the trot but failed to come up to scratch in feature company.

He did win his penultimate outing on the Greyville poly beating the highclass Attenborough but was injured and withdrawn from his intended first season start last month. He is a difficult fellow to assess .

Andries Steyn’s Power Grid takes a step up to feature class and certainly deserves the chance to show his credentials after downing SA Fillies Nursery winner Green

Plains in a bruising Progress Plate duel over the Kenilworth 1200m last time. It is worth noting that Green Plains flopped at her next start though. Power Grid has a following amongst local punters as he is something of a physical miracle. He dishes very badly with his left fore, but has done well with age, work and a lot of help from his chiropractor and physiotherapist. But he has no soundness issues.

Blinkers First of the Cape Guineas victorious Vaughan Marshall runners is the slightly disappointing Australian-bred Lord Balmoral who gets the blinkers on for the first time. The 2017 Listed Sophomore Sprint winner finished only 3 lengths behind Sergeant Hardy when they last clashed but is as much as 3kgs better off – and should be a lot fitter as his last run came after a four month absence.

First of the Andre Nel duo, the Var gelding Percival never really got into the race in the Cape Merchants when finishing a well beaten 5 lengths off Silicone Valley. On best form he must have a place chance and will strip a fit racer after three runs under the belt this season.

Rock Of Africa comes in off a victory on the Fairview polytrack at his last start. He won his penultimate start at Kenilworth beating the capable Nasty Harry in an MR 94 Handicap and looks to have the edge on

Power Grid on earlier form. He will be ridden by Anthony Andrews, he has ridden a few long-priced winners at this track in recent weeks.

Improver The 4yo Kingston Passage is the least experienced runner in the field of nine and looks to have scope to improve further on his consistent form-line. The son of Western Winter carries a handy joint bottom-weight of 52 kgs and regular pilot Greg Cheyne may well be looking to ride him smartly from his wind exposed 1 draw.

The 2015 Gr2 Joburg Merchants winner Brutal Force carries top weight as the officially highest rated galloper in the field. The 6yo son of Western Winter is an eight-time winner but has not been at his best in two runs this term. He showed no interest when beaten over 17 lengths and finishing last in the Cape Merchants three weeks ago. It is difficult to fancy him.

Second of the Andre Nel runners, La Favourari is no slouch as his 7 wins from 17 starts record attests.

He was not persevered with when beaten over 23 lengths behind Sergeant Hardy last time out, but that run is best ignored. The jockeytrainer combination came perilously close to causing a massive upset in the Southern Cross Stakes a fortnight ago and must go into the optimistic exotic combinations as a possible upset.

Tricky A tough puzzle to unravel.

Sergeant Hardy could bounce back to winning ways with serious chance to Lord Balmoral and the gutsy Power Grid. Kingston Passage is an improving sort and looks the obvious danger.

Doctor’s Orders Saturday’s feature brings the curtain down on Cape racing for 2017 and is named after that strong, often irritatingly persistent and dry southeasterly wind that blows on the Peninsula from spring to late summer.

While the Cape’s most famous doctor is undoubtedly the late Chris Barnard, who pioneered heart transplant surgery in the Mother City a half century ago - on 3 December 1967 to be precise - the southeasterly wind is called the Cape Doctor because of a local belief that it clears Cape Town of pollution and 'pestilence'.

The wind can create tactical posers for the jockeys at Kenilworth as it buffets the runners from the inside of the sprint track, and thus can particularly affect horses drawn down the inside. Thinking riders may thus be looking to gain some cover between horses or on the outside strip.

For races around the turn, the south-easter produces a head wind up the straight. Johannesburg based jockey Gavin Lerena showed no fear and rode a cracking front-running race on Milton in Saturday’s Gr2 Premier Trophy- straight into the teeth of the doctor.

Joey Eyes Sceptre The first Cape feature of 2018 is the R400 000 Gr2 Cartier Sceptre Stakes to be run at Kenilworth on Saturday 5 January.

Joey Ramsden’s Southern Cross Stakes winner Just Sensual is one of 22 entries for the 1200m feature on day 1 of the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Festival in the build-up to her bid to win the Klawervlei Gr1 Majorca Stakes on Met Day. The four-year-old had been off the track for more than five months and was conceding weight to the entire field when winning the Southen Cross in a thriller.

“She is not the biggest filly so her runs are limited and you have to plan them,” Ramsden told Tabnews. “The Garden Province on Durban July Day was probably a race too many but her work going into the Southern Cross was unbelievable.”

She is drawn at No 13 out of 22 and while the penetrometer is still showing that the ground towards the inside is slightly faster, that advantage is rapidly disappearing as the drier weather takes over.

Cape Derby next on agenda for Tap O’Noth

Gr1 r1 CAPE GUINEAS Kenilworth last Saturday

T

Milnerton trainer Vaughan Marshall and his stable rider MJ Byleveld crowned a glorious Cape Guineas double at Kenilworth on Saturday when the Captain Al colt Tap O’Noth stamped himself a leader of his generation with a fluent victory in the classic.

he Langerman and Cape Classic winner was earmarked from early days by his astute conditioner as a potential Guineas winner and the 66 year old horseman made it a fifth Cape Guineas success – and may have also created a page in the history books after he saddled recently deceased champion stallion Captain Al to win the race back in 2000.

Marshall waited 16 long years for Captain Al’s son William Longsword to emulate his champion Dad in the 2016 renewal – but took just another 12 months to repeat the feat with another ‘Captain’. And the pressure will now be on for him to source another of the ill-fated champion sire’s offspring to

make it a hat-trick in 2018!

But for now, the VHM Racing Team will be revelling in a spirit-lifting ending to a forgettable week for South African horseracing – and some satisfaction in knowing that they have contributed materially to finally bringing the 2017/18 season classic picture into focus.

And the veteran showed that for all his years of experience, he was not too old to learn a new trick or two. After William Longsword’s Selangor Cup blot last year, he gave the traditional ‘Guineas trial’ a miss with Tap O’Noth. And it worked a charm!

Jumping from the worst of the draw, MJ Byleveld punched Tap O’Noth into stride early and then settled the giant-striding handsome lad on the outside of his field in mid-rank as Gavin Lerena and Corne Orffer debated who was going to take up the early

Gr2 PREMIER TROPHY Kenilworth last Saturday

of 99,34 secs last year.

The lesser fancied of the De Kock duo, Like A Panther, rushed out of the pack to grab third ahead of a fast-finishing Cot Campbell and a stopping Wonderwall.

The Glen Kotzen-trained Pack Leader was last most of the way and also signalled a possible Cape Derby bid when he flew late for sixth and 2,55 lengths off the winner.

Surprise Selangor Cup winner Rocket Countdown was beaten 4 lengths and failed to threaten or frank that victory.

Bold Respect showed early but blotted his copybook by fading out to 8 lengths off the winner.

Winning Avontuur-sponsored rider MJ ‘Bakkies’ Byleveld said that they ‘had never been so confident coming into a Gr1’.

“The Fosters are great supporters and they deserve the win. And what a great team effort. My wide draw worked out

well in the end – sometimes an inside draw on a long striding horse can be a negative. I wanted to be a bit closer and then he turned it on a bit quick when I asked him. But he found all the way to the line,” he said.

Trainer Vaughan Marshall said that Tap O’Noth had done ‘everything we have asked of him’.

“Thanks to Alec and Gillian Foster. They have been tremendous supporters. And MJ rode a great race.

We decided to skip the Selangor as it was on the winter course. What a lovely day,” he added.

Tap O’ Noth was bred and raised at Varsfontein Stud by Alec Foster and is a son of Captain Al (Al Mufti) out of the one-time winning Wintersweet (Western Winter). This mare also produced the year older Strathdon (Silvano) who won the Gr3 Cape Summer Stayers two races later in the same silks – but this time for trainer Justin Snaith.

Tap O’Noth has won 4 races with 1 place from 5 starts for stakes of R966 250.

Cliffhanger!

I Gavin Lerena keeps Milton going for a thrilling win

running – the honour eventually falling to a keen as mustard Sir David Baird, who took the initiative ahead of Bold Respect.

Lerena had ridden a cracker from the front on Milton earlier but Sir David Baird came under major pressure at the 350m marker as Wonderwall loomed menacingly, while Tap O’Noth was urged along in midfield by Byleveld.

With Tap O’Noth tending to want to lug out at the 250m marker, the honours were in the balance – until the Marshall runner gunned his jets and straightened out to finally get serious.

As the post loomed, Tap O’Noth kicked powerfully and grabbed a length lead as Wonderwall ran out of puff.

Byleveld saluted at the line as Tap O’Noth proved too strong and held the late challenge of low-key Selangor Cup runner-up White River by a half length in a time of 98,93 secs. William Longsword won by a similar margin in a time

“It’s been a rough week for South African horseracing. This is one for the small man in the game.”

The words of giantkilling Milnerton trainer Bill Prestage after his gutsy 6yo Milton had lowered the colours of the unbeaten Last Winter to win the R400 000 Gr2 Premier Trophy in one of the most exciting finishes of a windswept afternoon at Kenilworth.

n a race that included six Sun Met entries, Dean Kannemeyer’s undefeated 4yo Last Winter was sent out a warm fancy to show his wellbeing and readiness for the big one at the end of January.

But as Mr Prestage alluded to, racing is not always a great writer of fairytales – and punters watched in dismay as the unfancied chestnut kept up a relentless gallop into the wind under a sweetly judged ride from Gavin Lerena, to gain the narrowest of victories.

While obviously disappointed that the photo had gone against him, Last Winter’s trainer Dean Kannemeyer said that he was pleased with the way his charge has acquitted himself and hoped that he had done enough to gain a berth in the Met. “This was only his fifth start and

there were some hard-knockers in the race. He is still learning to race and it was his first time on a lefthanded track. There was quite a strong headwind at play so Anthony (Delpech) didn’t want to let him roll too early. He could also feel that Last Winter was giving him a full effort so rather than risk unbalancing him, he sent him once the leader was already a good few lengths in credit and rode him with the hands. It was bloody close in the end!” said Kannemeyer, who confirmed that it was possible that his charge would go straight into the Sun Met. “We will see how he pulls up and once the dust settles we can make a decision. I’d like to believe he will get into the Met and he can only come on with the benefit of the experience,” he confirmed.

Milton, who had led for most of

the journey, picked up his biggest career win to date by a short head in a time of 111,96 secs.

Krambambuli ran on best of the balance of the Met candidates, finishing a 3,30 length third in a blanket tussle for the place cheques.

The enigmatic Black Arthur (3,55 lengths) failed to quicken, running fifth, while Horizon (4,55 lengths) also ran a flat race.

Dual Algoa Cup winner Nebula was 0,65 lengths behind Horizon, with topweight Deo Juvente, racing under new ownership, trailing in 18,15 lengths back.

Winning trainer Bill Prestage confirmed on enquiry from Tellytrack interviewer Stan Elley that Milton would not go for the Met. “No, he won't go for the Met. But if they want to swap the runnerup, then I will swap,” he laughed, sportingly underscoring his belief that the Kannemeyer galloper was an unlucky loser.

The Maine Chance bred Milton is a son of the recently deceased Lateral (Singspiel) out of the fourtime winning Missing No More (Unaccounted For).

A R160 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 2 purchase, Milton has won 8 races with 19 places from 35 starts for stakes of R968 900.

Gr3 VICTRESS STAKES Kenilworth last Saturday

Snaith Star Shines Bright It’s not easy getting a professional to concede a mistake these days!

But Justin Snaith was the man in the happy sorry seat following a turn of the corner and a scintillating run by the gutsy Silvano mare Star Express, who scored something of a surprise victory in the R250 000 Gr3 Victress Stakes at Kenilworth on Saturday.

Star Express and Callan Murray – winning combination

lose on two years without a win under the belt, the Majorca Stakes runner-up was easy to back at 20-1 from her 15 draw bidding to register a first stakes success – and her fluent win was a final bullet in the Pick 6 dreams of many punters.

“She was so good last summer - but I decided like an idiot to raid Johannesburg for the Gr1 Empress Club Stakes at Turffontein in April. Things went pearshaped and when we brought her back to Durban we just couldn’t get her feet right.

So we brought her back to Cape Town and worked on getting her back to best,” said a smiling trainer Justin Snaith.

He said that, given the highs and lows experienced by many horses during their careers, it was good to see Star Express back where she should be.

“I was really pleased too when Callan Murray phoned for the ride. He is like Bernard Fayd’herbe – except he is talented and is really a pleasant young guy,” joked the Phillipi trainer.

The Avontuur –sponsored Murray said that he had worked Star Express a week earlier and that she had felt good – but that he still couldn’t believe how strongly she galloped to the line.

“I knew she was fit and well and initially I got trapped deep. I must say I had no intention of being so far forward in terms of my riding instructions. But that’s the way the race unfolded and she really ran on so well,” said the talented young jockey.

The surprise for many of us watching from the sidelines was that when Star Express moved forward so early in the

straight, that little, if anything, ran on to challenge her.

She beat the revitalised Premier Dance by 1,25 lengths in a time of 113,49 secs.

Topweight Nightingale showed she is getting fitter by snatching third from last year’s winner Goodtime Gal, who seems at her lethal best over slightly shorter.

The pacemaker Seattle Gold was there for a long way but faded out to finish just under 3 lengths off the winner and out of the money.

A R160 000 2014 BSA National 2yo Sale purchase by John Freeman, Star Express has undergone a few restructures in the partnership that owns her but has proven a gem with some black-type to boost her R644 250 stakes kitty. Dr Dave and Mrs Sue Whitelaw, who have been there from day 1, were not on course but were ‘in tears back on the farm’, according to their daughter Sarah, who did the honours at the lead-in.

Star Express has won 5 races with 6 places from 17 starts and can boost her paddock value further when she lines up in the Paddock Stakes next month.

Bred by Dr Ian Heyns, Star Express is a daughter of champion Silvano (Lomitas) out of the three-time winner Majestic Star (Doowaley). The latter is a half sister to Star Of Liberty – dam of champion sprinter, Bull Valley (Toreador). This is the same family as the well performed, and currently for sale, Tara Laing galloper, Star Burst Galaxy (Var).

The winner has a half-sister called Stellar Motion (#63) from the first crop of Champion Sprinter Captain Of All on the Cape Premier Yearling Sale next month.

The smart stayer Strathdon - a half brother to Cape Guineas winner Tap O’Noth - registered a hat-trick of wins when scoring a career peak success in the R250 000 Gr3 Cape Summer Stayers Handicap at Kenilworth on Saturday.

n a red-letter day for the Foster family, who have been supporters of SA racing for 40 years, their Gr1 Cape Guineas success with Tap O’Noth was rounded off in scintillating style by the year older Strathdon, who confirmed that he is well on track for a shot at the Gr2 Western Cape Stayers on Sun Met day.

After Red Peril had filled his customary pacemaking role for much of the 2500m journey,

Strathdon moved in menacingly down the inside at the 300m under Grant van Niekerk and drew level with I Travel Light and Our Emperor.

With Our Emperor shifting in on to I Travel Light under pressure, Strathdon stayed out of trouble and ran on strongly at 11-10 to win by a length in a time of 156,27 secs.

I Travel Light would have been a welcome birthday winner for visiting German jockey Martin Seidl, who is yet to open his account.

Our Emperor maintained his

consistent form in third, with the rest in a different race.

Bred by Alec Foster, Strathdon is a son of champion sire Silvano (Lomitas) out of the one-time winner Wintersweet (Western Winter).

He has won 6 races with 3 places from 13 starts for stakes of R509 200.

The Fosters came to South Africa on a cricket tour in 1977 and a meeting with Denham Rodwell, part owner of champion Wolf Power, led to their involvement with horses here. They initially kept their mares with Mick Goss at Summerhill but a need for access to the Cape stallion power saw them relocate to Varsfontein Stud, near Paarl. The move has paid dividends! The Alan Greeff-trained Cereus carried their silks to win the Gold Cup in 2001.

LISTED MEMORIAL MILE Fairview last Friday

Team Tara Open For Business Trainer Tara Laing made it three winners from four runnings of the R150 000 Listed Memorial Mile at Fairview on Friday when the Dynasty colt Stormy Eclipse held on well in a thrilling finish to the afternoon’s feature.

Ms Laing, who ran the champion Snaith yard with distinction for ten years and has been trainer to Mayfair Speculators with outstanding results for many years , has opened her yard to new owners and on her current statistics should have patrons queuing up.

“I have boxes available and have a powerful team behind me in Gavin Venter and top-class staff.

I wouldn’t have achieved the results we have without these professionals and 2018 holds some exciting times ahead for us,” added the charismatic lady trainer who has been in the game for close on thirty years.

Her current win strike rate of 17% is tops in the Eastern Cape for trainers with double digit runners, and she is a very decent third on the national log top 25 behind the powerful yards of Mike de Kock and Paul Peter.

Tara is a noted specialist conditioner when it comes to rejuvenating horses and her record with the likes of six -in-arow winning Red Barrel, champion fourteen-time winner Crown Of Gold and the gallant champion Sir Duke are just a few examples of how she has resurrected careers and put horses back on the winning track.

And her Friday feature winner

Stormy Eclipse is another example of a refreshing second phaser – the Dynasty gelding in prime form after losing his sparkle in KZN. The yard’s dominance of the Memorial Mile in recent years was underlined by the handsome grey’s cracking victory from an impossible position at the 200m.

Tara trained Red Barrel to win the 2014 Memorial Mile, won the race in 2016 with the Australianbred Readytogorightnow and maintained her dominance with Stormy Eclipse on Friday.

Charles Ndlovu, who has formed a solid relationship with the gelding, got him to fly late and the pair shaded Razed In Black to win by a short head in a time of 97,48 secs.

Former Gr1 winner Afrikaburn was a half length away in third.

The Ascot Stud-bred Stormy Eclipse is a son of Dynasty (Fort Wood) out of the brilliant fourteen-time winner Stormy Appeal (Kilconnel).

A R2 million National Yearling Sale buy, Stormy Eclipse has blossomed in the Eastern Cape – his career total now being 7 races won with 16 places from 28 starts for stakes of R711 600. Tara says she feels that Stormy Eclipse has a good few seasons left in him and is ‘as sound as a bell’.

We Bet It Can’t Carry On

A

In a refreshingly frank interview on the Winning Ways show last Monday, Gold Circle CEO Michel Nairac raised concerns about plummeting tote turnovers. He didn’t suggest solutions to the problem but did touch on alternatives.

But should we not be arresting the slide rather than relying so heavily on alternate income streams?

glance at a deserted Kenilworth Racecourse on Cape Guineas Saturday, on what should be a highlight of the Cape Summer Season, suggests that alarm bells should be ringing all round. Beyond some bussed-in kids having a ball on the jumping castles, there was nobody on track.

Problem is it’s no good ignoring the intruder, turning the alarm off and going back to sleep.

While there is no proven relationship between on-course attendance and betting turnover, if you are coughing and have a headache, it’s probably a sign you should be taking medical advice.

Making excuses through justification like blaming economics and sports betting is not going to solve the issue. The fact is that Racing Management are staring a crisis in the face - and simply looking away and banking another salary cheque.

And no doubt taking a ‘well deserved’ break over the festive period.

Out of interest, we contacted Saftote last Thursday to enquire about the R470 – yes R470 – Place Accumulator pool on the Deauville meeting that day. We received no answer. That’s probably because they don’t really have one that sounds clever.

When it comes to a crisis, we are not alone - if that makes us feel better.

Decline On the subject of turnover, Bill Nader wrote in www.bloodhorse. com recently that for the seventh consecutive year, total wagering on American Thoroughbred racing will fall short of the $11 billion mark.

He writes that most in the industry shrug this off, spinning the story of this key economic indicator into a false positive - a flat line to a downward spiral that began in 2005 when a three-year run of more than $15 billion came to a near screeching halt.

Horse racing features some of the brightest financial minds from Wall Street as owners and trustees of its sport, making it all the more shocking how nonchalant the attitude seems to be about the one number that defines the health of the overall industry.

Betting turnover is the key driver to all stakeholders who derive a livelihood from the sport. It is the key component to investment in purses and the funding for operating and capital investment.

Every person who wants the sport to succeed - the horse owner, breeder, shareholder, track executive and employee, the stable worker, vendors, and racing fan seeking a good customer and wagering experience - are all better off if total handle is healthy. But, the seven-year flat-line trend tells us that we are not.

The easy way out is to look for reasons – always easy to find.

Suggestions The major racetracks should come together and agree on a takeout reduction to stimulate wagering investment. No single racetrack or racing association can do this in isolation. There needs to be a concerted effort and a shared vision.

The prime category for takeout

reduction should be in the singlerace (vertical) bet types, specifically win, place, and exacta, in an effort to create churn to allow the betting rand to turn over with greater frequency. This will create a better return to purses and to the bottom line. Over the last 10 years, there has been a steady shift from singlerace to multi-race (horizontal) bet types such as Pick 3, 4, and 5, where the takeout is applied only one time and the payment to the industry (purses and tracks) is minimized as the wagering dollars can be tied up over multiple races. There is nothing wrong with multi-race bet types.

Customer preference and wagering experience is the trump card and this is acknowledged and accepted.

The key is rebuilding the foundation by bringing greater liquidity and churn to the single-race pools through a strategic initiative to lower takeout as it relates to field size. Win, place, show, and exacta wagering has to become more attractive.

The major tracks can come together and agree, for example, that on field sizes of six or less, takeout on these bet types is 14%. The totalizator companies have the flexibility to do this. The burden of taking this leap of faith, this industry bet on its own future, should not rest on one track. It needs to be a shared vision.

The time has come for the brightest minds in the industry to call a timeout and huddle together for a shared and sustainable solution through a stimulus package that embraces lower takeout and greater churn on single-race, takeout sensitive bet types. Otherwise, the total sales of pari-mutuel bets on Thoroughbred racing will soon be halved when compared to the levels once enjoyed in 2002-2007. The current playbook isn't working.

Gold Standard hat's so special about racing? We can't speak for everyone, but it's the age old endeavour of continuously trying to produce a better horse than last year, breeding the best to the best, hoping for the best and then testing your best out on the race track.

It’s knowing that on any given card, in any given race, we are seeing the product of hundreds of years’ of effort, distilled, poised, ready for the acid test

Any given racehorse will be by a stallion that has done something pretty spectacular and out of a mare that has likely done something pretty darn good, or is related to a horse that is pretty darn good. These horses are not happy accidents - they are the result of generations of careful breeding, of one generation of spectacular after the next. As spectacular achievements usually come with equally spectacular stories, that is what makes looking up pedigrees so interesting.

There are any number of stories in any pedigree, but for me, the story of Gold Standard starts in around 1990 with Terrance Millard's 'iron filly', Olympic Duel.

The Iron Filly It was the hey-day of South African racing and the Millard era was at its peak. Having achieved the remarkable feat of saddling the first three past the Rothmans July post in 1986, Millard was riding the crest of the wave and had just celebrated his 5th July victory with Right Prerogative on a rain-soaked Greyville afternoon in 1989. However, his world would come crashing down a few weeks later when the float carrying ten of his best horses went off the road en route back to Cape Town.

It was a black day for Millard, who had held the pick of his string back in Durban a little longer to get the benefit of a little more sun on their coats. He lost three horses, including Right Prerogative, however among the survivors was a bay filly named Olympic Duel.

The filly would need skilful reschooling to settle her mind after the accident, but once Millard had got her right, in his words “she would go anywhere and do anything. She was a tough, tough filly.” As a 3yo, she claimed the Cape Fillies Guineas, the Bloodline Fillies Championship, the Paddock Stakes and the SA Fillies Guineas silverware. She also finished 2nd in the 1990 July, sandwiched between Illustrador and Jungle Warrior, to give Millard the distinction of saddling the first three past the July post for the second time. The Racing Record for 1990 dished out the following praise, “If courage was to be the yardstick, the undisputed champion of the 1989/90 season would beyond a doubt be Olympic Duel.” As it was, the ARCSA panel agreed and Olympic Duel was named Champion 3yo Filly of South Africa.

But that was only the beginning.

Listing all her wins takes up so much space that it borders on the absurd.

Suffice to say that Millard’s ‘Iron Filly’ would dominate the track for the next two seasons. She would be named South Africa’s champion older female for the 1990 and 1991 seasons and retire with 13 wins from 14002000m.

At stud, she produced 7 foals of which 6 were winners. Her last foal, born in 2004, was a filly by the

mighty Model Man. Olympic Dam and would be the only one of her progeny not to win a race, however blood will out and she is proving her worth in the breeding shed as all her foals to date have been winners and her 2013 Trippi colt looks a lively contender for the 2018 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate.

Varsfontein’s Carl de Vos picks up the story. “I bought the mare from Luke Bailles, who is a very good friend of ours. He was very busy building up Singita at the time and his focus wasn’t on the horses. He had other mares and wanted to cut down. This mare was the last foal from Olympic Duel, but she hadn’t won a race and I suppose that’s why he was prepared to let her go. She had two Judpots and a Var and then this Trippi colt. He was a beautiful foal.” The De Vos’ devote a great deal of time and effort to naming their horses and Gold Standard was no different. Olympic Dam is named after a mine in Australia and tying in his wonderful pedigree with the metallurgic connotations from his dam, they chose to call him Gold Standard. According to Wikipedia, a gold standard test is a diagnostic test or benchmark that is the best available under reasonable

conditions. Or, the most accurate test possible without restrictions.”

Purchase The colt joined the Varsfontein draft for the 2015 BSA Cape regional sale, held at Val de Vie for the first time. Woodhill Racing’s Glen Kotzen is well known for having a good eye for a horse. He had a mandate from client Hugo Hattingh to find a really nice filly and was viewing prospective lots at the sales yard when Hugo called to say he’d arrived at the sales ground and wanted to join his trainer. “I was standing in front of Gold Standard at the time and said he should come and have a look. He said, ‘Is it a filly?’ I said, ‘No, it’s a colt I really like.’” There is a certain inevitability about some horses and this one has that stamp all over it! They looked at the colt over together and Hattingh agreed he was a standout. Then he asked, “What about the filly?” As it happened, the filly Glen had picked out was also from Varsfontein and named Final Judgement. In hindsight, it was damn near impossible to miss with a Varsfontein purchase at that sale as they packed all of Doosra, Green Pepper, Hack Green, Final Judgement, Pagoda, Maleficent and Gold Standard into a single sales draft – an achievement that will surely take some beating.

Glen says Gold Standard was special from day one. He debuted as an early 3yo on 16 August 2016, finishing 2nd to Purple Tractor. He broke his maiden at the third try, winning over 1600 at Durbanville on 5 October 2016 with Greg Cheyne on board. Glen then travelled his colt to Port Elizabeth, where he obliged by winning the Listed RA Stakes with Craig Zackey in the

saddle. “I like using the RA race in PE as part of my programme and have taken a lot of my big horses that way.”

Back in Cape Town, Richard Fourie took over the ride as the retained rider for Hugo Hattingh and Peter de Beyer and Gold Standard bested a field including Edict Of Nantes, William Longsword and Our Mate Art in the Selangor Cup in November.

With credentials like there, there’s nowhere to go other than the Cape Guineas and taking on the best of his generation, Gold Standard mounted a flying late charge and made William Longsword earn every inch of his half a length victory.

It’s In The Genes Gold Standard’s sire, USA-bred Trippi, was one of the great threeyear old sprinter-milers of the world in 2000. He retired to stud in the USA in 2002 and was a champion sire of 2yo’s in Florida before joining the Drakenstein Stud Farm roster in 2008. At his new home on the slopes of the Franschoek mountains, he stood alongside a South African turf legend in Horse Chestnut and the two stallions made firm friends. Trippi, with his formidable reputation, came with an equally formidable price tag and it was only thanks to the USA financial crisis at the time that South Africa was able to import a horse of his calibre. However, he has repaid the faith placed in him several times over, producing with multiple Gr1 winners and securing a South African sire’s championship for the 2015/16 season.

Trippi turned 20 in 2017 and perhaps the best compliment that Gold Standard has been paid is the fact that Drakenstein Stud Farm bought into him just before the 2017 Met. Their faith was well placed as Gold Standard finished 2.8 lengths fourth behind Whisky Baron, Legal

Eagle and Captain America. It was a magnificent performance from the 3yo.

Set-back After the Met, Gold Standard pulled up with a bit of swelling in one of his fetlocks. They found – and removed - a small chip in the joint and he was given the rest of the season off to recover.

His return to the track as a 4yo was anything but easy. He was given an exceptionally rough trip in the Gr3 Matchem Stakes thanks to Table Bay, but still managed to finish under 2 lengths off Our Mate Art in 4th.

Glen’s take is philosophical, “He needed the run, but Richard thought we could have won if it wasn’t for the interference. Anton Marcus got a two week holiday for his ride on Table Bay, so it’s not like were crying for nothing.”

On 2 December, Gold Standard cantered down for the Gr2 Green Point Stakes, taking on dual Horse Of The Year and the undisputed champion miler of South Africa, Legal Eagle, at his own game and finished 2.5 lengths 4th. “He took forever to get into stride and when Richard got off, he said possibly the mile is a little too short for him now,” explains Glen, “but against top horses in a top field, I wasn’t unhappy with the run. It’s a typical second run after a layoff. Hopefully by the Queen’s Plate we’ll have him cherry ripe.”

Big ask The Queen’s Plate is not regarded as the top WFA mile in the country for nothing and at WFA terms, it produces a true reflection of the runners year on year. As such, you could say it is the ‘Gold Standard’.

With the beautiful colt now racing in the famous blue and white Drakenstein silks and lining up for their flagship event on their flagship race day, Glen is well aware of the task at hand. “Listen,” says the charismatic trainer, “the calibre of horses in Cape Town is incredible right now. Every time you walk into the parade ring at Kenilworth, out of the 16 horses in the ring, you’d give your right arm to train any one of them. And it’s just the start of the season - every week, they just keep coming. Just to win a maiden in Cape Town right now is an achievement. Gaynor needs to find a son to replace Trippi and this horse has definitely got the credentials. He’s beaten the colt that went on to win the Cape Derby (Edict Of Nantes) and he beat the best 3yo’s of last season in the Selangor. He’s got the potential and we’re confident he will pull off a big one – please God let it be the Queen’s Plate!”

Wouldn’t it be fitting if the beautiful colt, who will be carrying the Drakenstein silks in their flagship race on their flagship day, with the future hopes of the stud farm resting on his strong shoulders, could deliver the lot on a shiny silver platter?

Life After Jooste

T

It has been just over a week since the bomb dropped as leading SA Owner and Breeder, and internationally respected businessman, Markus Jooste resigned from the board of Steinhoff International. His resignation from the boards of Phumelela Gaming & Leisure and Kenilworth Racing followed soon after.

elevision shrunk racing and now we almost all know each other – or at least of each other.

Markus and Ingrid Jooste have been SA Owners Of The Year for 10 years in succession and it’s one of those records you know is just never going to get beat.

In racing circles Markus Jooste is recognized by everyone. Not only a champion owner through the internationally active company Mayfair Speculators, he’s the driving force which shouldered Klawervlei to Champion Breeder status. He foist Cape Thoroughbred Sales into the limelight with the most valuable race ever run in Africa, the CTS

Million Dollar and supported stakes through sponsorships from Gomma Gomma, Sansui and Klawervlei, in tandem with Investec.

More investments also saw his name on the racing boards with, now former, directorships in Phumelela and Kenilworth Racing.

There is no doubt that Markus Jooste has had an input on all aspects of racing life at the top level for a good while.

After a very public resignation as CEO of Steinhoff International last week, the mainstream press has trumpeted every fact, rumour and guess. Very little real information has been provided and many in the cheap seats have almost lost their

Markus Jooste minds speculating on the fallout that may yet spill over into horseracing.

Over the past five years Jooste and Mayfair has had on average 3 runners each and every day, and over 800 winners; more than a dozen per month. With numbers like those, anyone with a heart for racing will be wondering, what happens next?

The Mayfair horses were purchased widely and distributed to a select, but fairly wide group of trainers. They run in most centres and populate fields so regularly that punters have gotten used to several

different coloured caps being worn to differentiate the Mayfair runners wearing the same Springbok silks in many races – even though they are not coupled through trainers.

The scope and breadth of the influence emerges.

Hundreds of racehorses.

Hundreds of broodmares. All have made a huge impression on the racing landscape. Stallions, mares, yearlings and racehorses means activities from the breeding shed, via the sales arena to the race track and into the boardroom and beyond for years and years. And suddenly, now a stunning silence.

The lack of information dissemination is understandable – perhaps even expected. But it is unfortunate, because the speculation becomes rife.

So Where To? It is not the way that anybody would have chosen to close an already difficult year.

The reality is that horseracing is but a component of the apparent widespread fallout.

Last Thursday the NHA confirmed to the Sporting Post that Mayfair Speculators had responded to the

racing regulator’s unprecedented request for ‘ information’.

“We’ve received a response and we are now considering the contents thereof. At this moment we are in no position to make any further announcements,” said Lyndon Barends Chief Executive Officer of The National Horseracing Authority of Southern Africa.

Practical Questions: What happens to the trainers?

Will the fields get smaller?

Will some of the horses be sold?

What about the Met top two in the betting?

Will all the horses be sold?

What happens to the farm?

What happens to the mares?

What happens to the stallions?

What happens to the sales?

What happens at the sales?

What happens to the Phumelela share price?

Should anything happen to the Phumelela share price?

Does it matter unless you have shares?

Whose business is it anyway?

Business As Unusual A Poor Show Of Silence

T

In a time of supposed ‘business as usual’, but realistically shattering uncertainty for many trainers linked to the Mayfair Speculators brand, all of the estimated 350 Jooste horses-in-training are on the market, with some already sold.

he option of a dispersal auction sale has been avoided for now, with Racing Manager Derek Brugman going the route of selling the horses out of hand.

We have learnt that some trainers have been fortunate to package horses under alternate ownership to minimise the impact on their businesses but that valuations can be a contentious issue.

The fact remains that the majority of the horses are unsold and we were unable to confirm that the substantial Euro denominated offshore shareholdings with Coolmore have been liquidated as earlier suggested.

On a positive note, leading owner Braam van Huyssteen, who has 175 horses in training, has bought

dual Horse Of The Year Legal Eagle from Mayfair Speculators for an undisclosed sum.

He has brought in two partners, Brisbane-based William Henderson and Hedley McGrath, and Legal Eagle will run in Van Huyssteen’s silks of dayglo yellow with purple spots. The six-time Gr 1 winner will remain in the care of ruling champion trainer Sean Tarry, according to his new owner.

Tarry’s summer plans for the champ were a bid to win the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate for the third year running and then to target the Sun Met. The first part of that plan will remain unchanged, with Van Huyssteen saying: “It makes sense for him to run in the Queen’s Plate.” However, he added: “But there are other avenues available to

Our editorial alongside covers the as yet unconfirmed possibility that the Brett Crawford trained Edict Of Nantes has been sold to Hong Kong interests. Legal Eagle and Edict Of Nantes were joint 3-1 favourites for the Sun Met, with the latter now having drifted out. The uncertainty is an unwanted distraction and hardly good news for the big race sponsors - or the betting public.

CTS Ready For 2018

W

Cape Thoroughbred Sales (CTS) has confirmed that Markus Jooste has resigned as director, and Mayfair Speculators has commenced the process of exiting their shareholding following last week’s CTS board meeting.

éhann Smith, Chief Executive Officer at CTS, explains that all remaining shareholders are fully committed to the company and to the CTS Cape Premier Yearling Sale taking place from 20-21 January 2018.

The CPYS draft, according to Smith, looks potentially stronger than that of any previous years, and his belief is that vendors and buyers alike can look forward to the event with great optimism.

“Our business is resilient, and our Board, which includes chairman

Chris van Niekerk and Bernard Kantor, is dedicated to ensuring that operations continue as normal, and that we keep innovating and raising the bar with each sale,” he says.

Smith confirms that the transition is underway and proceeding smoothly, with no impact on vendors or disruption to the Sales programme.

“While recent events concerning Mayfair Speculators have admittedly impacted the broader industry, we can assure our clients that our focus is on ensuring we continue to deliver on our commitment to presenting Sales with the professionalism and style to which our clients have

This was the news from a reliable source as we went to print on Tuesday.

The Sporting Post made contact with Tony Millard late into the Hong Kong evening on Monday but the line was very indistinct. A call to Edict Of Nantes’ trainer Brett Crawford confirmed that the Count Dubois colt had been vetted. We were referred to Mayfair Speculators Racing Manager, Derek Brugman.

Our message to Brugman was not returned at time of going to press and the silence from the longstanding SA Champion owners Racing Manager shows a disappointing disregard for the racing public and the industry at large – given the negative speculation around their horses.

The now long rumoured sale of Edict Of Nantes to Hong Kong, if in fact true, must make the classy 4yo a doubtful starter for the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate and the Sun Met, in view of the Hong Kong import restrictions governing race exposure. This uncertainty caused an immediate drift in the betting.

While rumour and speculation is fun, it makes betting very uncertain.

Ante-post rules are no real excuse for not playing open cards and no punter wants to chase better odds – but do their money in cold blood, when there is no real intention of running a horse. On the flipside, we accept that these are pressured times for those involved with the underlying transaction.

On a more decisive note, Dean Kannemeyer’s Last Winter exploded as a big race contender this weekend, and that in defeat. Previously undefeated in 4 from 4, he needed to show he was more than a top division horse and his narrow loss to Milton in the Gr2 Premier Trophy was as pleasing a Met prep that could have been hoped for. He has shortened to third favourite for the big race on 27 January.

Ed – we were informed that ABSA Bank made a High Court application for the provisional liquidation of Mayfair Speculators Pty (Ltd) as we went to press on Tuesday.

Wehann Smith become accustomed. Markus has in many ways been our founder and visionary, and we are tremendously saddened that he will not be part of our future plans. His leadership of and passion for our industry will be sorely missed,” says Smith.

The 2018 CTS Cape Premier Yearling Sale will be held at the CTICC on 20 & 21 January 2018 and the catalogue can be viewed at www. capethoroughbredsales.com

RA Members L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate The Racing Association has advised that members and guests will be accommodated in the Somerset Room on the 3rd Floor at Kenilworth Racecourse for the 2018 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Racing Festival.

On Saturday, 16 December 2017, the 6yo Milton and the 32 year old Gavin Lerena, carrying Billy Prestage’s orange and yellow silks, caused equal parts upset and delight, when they downed Dean Kannemeyer’s unbeaten Last Winter, not to mention a swathe of Met hopefuls, in the 1800m Premier Trophy at Kenilworth.

ill Prestage has been part of the Western Cape racing firmament for as long as anyone can remember. Sadly, memories are short these days because not only do we rush about at warp speed, but there are few who stick around long enough to remember much of what went before. Mr Prestage turns 83 next February and as such, he has seen a lot come and go. He prefers to watch, absorb a lot and say very little. When he does speak, it’s usually worth listening.

About Billy

“My father was a trainer until he died in 1978 and then I took over.

In those days an owner-trainer license still existed, so that’s what I took out at the time. In about 1994 I stopped for seven years because of commitments to my business and then I started again in 2001.”

Mr Prestage dates back to the heyday of the Durbanville Gymkhana Club. “I rode at Durbanville when it was an amateur club. That was very different to the Cape Hunt, although I rode at Cape hunt as well.

Durbanville was a semi-professional club and several people earned a living from riding there. Riders never served an apprenticeship. In those days there wasn’t an Academy, so appies lived with trainers and all the blokes that were slightly too big to make professional jockeys would ride at Durbanville.

Mr Prestage was one of three boys, all of whom rode. His brother Bobby rode for Heinie Schultz. “At one time, he was one of the biggest stables. I rode mainly for Georgie Brown and CB de Meillon. He was a professional trainer, but had quite a few horses at Durbanville.”

He cut his race riding teeth alongside the likes of Terrance Millard and Ralph Rixon. “Before us, there was Willie Kleb. Colin Tyler was a top rider – he became the manager of Highlands. Arthur Gray also rode for Heinie Schultz.

I think the other guys are all gone, virtually,” he muses. “In 1955 Durbanville became a professional club and that was the end of us at Durbanville.”

Schedule

Mr Prestage is one of the few trainers who trains only for his own account. “I’ve got an open license, so I’m entitled to train for whoever I like, but by choice I’ve always just trained for myself. When my father died, I took over his string, but I was very occupied with my business

“His first couple of starts were very good. I sent him to Ormond Ferraris in Johannesburg for a R2,5 million race he was eligible for because of that sale. He didn’t do very well in Joburg at all. He had four starts there and really didn’t shape, so I brought him back. When he came back, I gave him quite a long break and when he started off, he immediately started doing well. He won two on the trot, before finishing just under half a length and didn’t want to train for other second to Light The Lights in the people at that time. It grew on me. 2016 Peninsula Handicap. It was a I suppose it would be nice to train very good comeback,” he notes with for other people if you could pick up satisfaction.

“After that, I always thought he some of the best clients, but that’s would be a decent sort of a horse. not so easy.”

Although he’s past official He’s probably just a little off the very retirement age, he still gets up top class, but he’s right up there. early to work his string, then usually Looking at his racing record, there’s goes into the office for a few hours, always a bit of a gap at the beginning before heading back to the stables of every season. Why is that?

“He’s a horse that doesn’t winter to check on his horses.

“I don’t work very hard any more, very well,” explains Mr Prestage.

“He gets a very heavy winter coat my son runs the and doesn’t look too business now. I go I find it very difficult nice in winter time. there most days, to sit around and do I thought of clipping but quite frankly, I him last season, but don’t do a lot.” So nothing then thought I’m not why choose such a punishing schedule? “It’s something going to race him, so I decided to to do. I find it very difficult to sit leave it. But this year has been a around and do nothing. The horses bit difficult. We’ve not had much of finish early and I wouldn’t be able to a summer and where his coat would normally come out in September, by sit around.”

October it was still a bit rough.”

Milton finished within 5 lengths of Milton However, Mr Prestage prefers Our Mate Art in the Matchem, was talking about his horses to talking within a length of Copper Force in about himself.

Milton was a a Pinnacle Stakes three weeks later R160 000 purchase from the and then put up a great run to finish CTS Book 2 sale in 2013. Buying 2 lengths behind Mambo Mime in any horse is a leap of faith, but it requires an extra bit of resolve when you are the one signing the cheque.

However, Mr Prestage is not afraid to put his money where his mouth is and has been backing his judgement with his chequebook all is life. “We looked at him at the sales and we were all quite struck with him and thought he was a nice looking horse.

He was by a new sire, so for that reason a lot of guys gave him a miss, but it never really bothered me.

I thought the female line was fairly good and there were all sorts of nice things about him, so that’s why we bought him.”

the pace, about 10 lengths off the leaders mounted a spectacular late burst, but it was Milton’s day as he hung on to score by a short head.

Praising Gavin’s ride, Mr Prestage notes, ““I talked about the horse and told Gavin what I wanted and it all worked out the way I’d hoped.

He never went for his stick at all.

He was lucky enough to hold on by that short head, but I’ll take it!” he grins. From 35 starts, his R160k 2013 March Yearling sale purchase now has 8 wins and 19 places to his credit for earnings of R968,900.”

Riding Engagement Has he given any thoughts to his Gavin Lerena was an eye-catching summer campaign? “The obvious engagement for Saturday’s race. races are the Queen’s Plate and the How did that come about? “Quite Peninsula Handicap. “He’s earned honestly, I looked for the right to have a Bernard Fayd’herbe shot at the Queen’s That’s the joy of who’s done very but it’s just for training for yourself.

“The best thing about him is that he’s a very genuine horse.

But otherwise, he’s quiet as a lamb.”

Hat For LQP Maine Chance’s dual SA Champion Sire Silvano, currently South Africa’s Leading Sire by stakes earned for 2017-2018, produced the top three finishers in Saturday’s Gr3 Victress Stakes at Kenilworth. The son of Lomitas’ daughters Star Express, Premier Dance and Nightingale filled the first three placings. In a clean sweep, Silvano is also damsire of fourth place finisher Goodtime Gal and sire of fifth placed Silver Thursday. Bred by the Dr Ian Heyns, Star Express was a 75th stakes winner for Silvano. The great sire produced a similar feat in the 2015 Vodacom Durban July.

Avontuur sprint king Var (Forest Wildcat), the sire of 20 Gr1 horses, headed by champions Variety Club, Val De Ra and Via Africa, enjoyed a cracking weekend with 6 Southern African winners . His 13 lots on next month’s Cape Premier Yearling Sale will again be in great demand.

Bully’s Got Beef

Trainer Mike Azzie will fly the Argentinian-bred Hat Puntano down to Cape Town on the Friday before the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate. The Azzman says he was satisfied with the son of Hat Trick’s prep third at Turffontein on Saturday. “He had no luck in running and the race was run at a crawl. It turned into a sprint and that didn’t suit him. That said, he was not tuned up for it.” A decision will only be made about Hat Puntano’s Sun Met plans after the Queen’s Plate and the veteran conditioner says he is under no false illusions about taking on a champion like Legal Eagle. “We will be fit and ready to take them on,” he said.

Christophe Soumillon guided Skaters Waltz (Ire) to a narrow success in a 2400m event on Saturday evening at Lyon La Soie Racecourse in the southeast of France to register his 301st win this season. With this victory in the modest claiming event, the Belgian-born jockey broke the previous European record of 300 winners established last year by rising star Pierre-Charles Boudot.

Things to note: FC = First call; SC = Second call. Second call is positioned approximately 720m out. The reason that this is used is because we were unable to get a fix on the front horse in the Premier Trophy at the False Rail (FR, end of bend). We did keep the FR measurements in here for comparative purposes, as we usually use these.

Interesting times. Visibly the Premier Trophy and the MR72 looked fast early on the bend.

The Victress Stakes on the other hand really stands out as a false run race: very slow on the bend, and then by far the fastest in the sprint home over the final 600m – not a result to rely on then.

There is nothing quite as heartwarming as a happy horse and owner. When that horse is a Gr1 winner that survived a bush racing ordeal, that owner is his Gr1 jockey and the whole package comes gift-wrapped in a catchy tune, well, that’s a special kind of awesome. It’s a story I’ve been saving up all year, so in the spirit of spreading a bit of festive happiness, I took some time to catch up with Glen Hatt and Wavin’ Flag.

avin’ Flag (Silvano Garland) was bred by former Maine Chance stud m a n a g e r, John Slade and his wife and bought as a weanling by a grooms’ co-op. The colt was bought back at the National 2yo Sale and eventually joined the Brett Crawford yard, racing in the interests of a syndicate.

Being quite a light-framed horse, Wavin’ Flag didn’t see the racecourse until well into his 3yo year and had his first start over a mile at Kenilworth on 20 February 2013.

Glen was Brett’s stable jockey at the time and says the team always felt the horse had a big race in him. “He was a bit of a wimp – a really narrow horse with no confidence. We always hoped he might fill out, but he never did. He wasn’t going to be the next champion, but we had a lot of belief in him and always felt if we got him right, he’d be able to crack a feature.”

Wavin’ Flag had 5 starts as a 3yo for 1 win (over 2400m) and three places. He started his 4yo season in handicap company, placing consistently and cracking a second win over 2400m at Durbanville on 12 October 2013. He was 4th in the J&B Jet Stayers on Met day 2014 and 3rd in the Lektron Chairman’s Cup in February, before joining the Crawford string in Durban.

Durban “We took him specifically with the Gold Cup in mind,” remembers Glen. “It was a big ask – lots of stayers don’t get the 3200m and he was only a two time winner.”

Wavin’ Flag’s first start in Durban was over 1900m on 16th May when he finished 6th (but only 2,3 lengths off) stable companion Futura. “We’d put blinkers on and he never travelled,” remembers Glen. “I had to push him from three quarters of the way back.

He was a hard ride.”

However, Wavin’ Flag blossomed in KZN. “Being quite a light horse, he didn’t take much work and I think he battled the sand in Cape Town. The lighter Durban tracks were easier on him. He started travelling better, gained a lot of confidence and started enjoying his work. He started to travel in his races too.”

In the Gr3 Lonsdale Stirrup Cup, he finished less than a length 4th to Wild One. “He was travelling really

well and I thought we would win, but as he hit the front, he ducked with me, so I said to Brett we need to take the blinkers off.” It did the trick. In a traffic-plagued Gold Vase, a blinkerless Wavin’ Flag ran Hot Ticket to a 0.15 length second at Greyville.

On Saturday, 26 July 2014 the plan came together when Wavin’ Flag enjoyed a trouble-free run to lift the Gold Cup trophy. “Before we left for Durban, one of the partners pulled out and Ian Longmore asked my opinion about taking a share.

I said ‘grab it, he’ll win the Gold Cup,’ remembers Glen. I said it with hope, but I did have belief in the horse. When you make a plan to go somewhere with a horse and it comes to fruition, it’s special, you know?”

Grit Wear and tear on his hands meant Glen had worn down the cartilage in his right wrist and desperately needed medical attention.

“I’d been struggling with my hand for about six months, but the yard was doing so well.

We had

frikkin brilliant horses like Futura and Captain America coming through.”

With the team bullish about Futura’s July hopes, Glen scheduled surgery after the Gold Cup and rode through the Durban season with the help of cortisone injections.

Although the July was not to be, Wavin’ Flag’s Gold Cup formed the first half of a back to back Gr1 double on the day as Glen and Brett won the Champions Cup just 45 minutes later with Futura, crowning a stellar season for the team.

It is one of those days one only truly appreciates in hindsight – while it would be one of the most glittering highlights of Glen’s career, unbeknown to him at the time, it would mark his last day as a jockey.

All change After his Gr1 double, Glen had one more ride on the day which finished 5th, he flew back to Cape Town on Sunday and on Monday, he was on the operating table at 9am.

“That op was my best chance of being able to ride again. They took a piece of tendon from my arm and put it between the bones in my wrist.

There was never any guarantee it was going to work, but you have to go in positive.”

“I was so looking forward to the Cape season.

The horses had had a nice break and were read to go, but my hand just wasn’t coming right.

After huge rescue efforts, the horses were found abandoned in the Cape flats two days later. Wavin’ Flag, who had always been a timid soul, stayed resolutely by his friend’s side until help arrived. Maximum Flo sadly had to be euthanased on humane grounds. Flag was tired, footsore and dehydrated, but by some miracle, had survived unscathed.

and bear with it, but eventually they admitted it wasn’t working. As we got close to the Green Point Stakes, I said to Brett there’s no way I’d be able to ride and said we needed to find another jockey.”

“It was a lot to come to terms New Beginnings with. I’d probably had the best “I didn’t really want a horse, but year of my life, not only financially, but also in terms of results, Brett when I heard he’d been stolen, and I were really gelling as a team I said if no-one else takes him, I’d and we had all these good horses be interested,” says Glen. “He was coming through. A lot of guys said standing at a paddock at Brett’s yard, I should try and come back, but I’d I offered to take him and that’s how lost some of my range of movement it happened.” In May 2017, Wavin’ and strength.

Having been a race rider all his life, Glen is enjoying owning this special horse. “People always ask about him and it’s nice to be able to say where he is now. Once he’s had a bit more work, I’m really looking forward to seeing my kids riding him and getting him going.”

They say every horse deserves to be loved by a little girl once in its life. Seems a jockey comes a pretty close second.

ATING SPEED R WON 28/1

with Steve Furnish

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

On The Right Road

Greyville 10 December Trainer Louis Goosen has been in fine form since relocating to KZN and he was again on the mark here when the improving CAPTAIN’S GIRL won the feature event, a MR104 Handicap. In what proved to be the fastest of the afternoon’s four 1200m events, the lightly weighted daughter of Noordhoek Flyer led throughout.

She was always a couple clear and despite the efforts of the top weight Muscatt, she didn’t relinquish an inch of her advantage.

The only other distance on the nine race program to stage more than one race was 2000m where the faster of the two maiden events was the boy’s affair won by TOP CLASSMAN. Sent off third in the betting market at 5/1, Frank Robinson’s charge was always handy. He ran on strongly at the business end of the race and in a three way finish he got the verdict by a half.

A maiden plate over 1200m had gotten proceedings underway and here we saw a comfortable victory for the uneasy favourite COSSACK GUARD. Allowed to ease out to 18/10 from 11/10 at the track, this grey son of Gimmethegreenlight was soon positioned close to the speed. He was ridden to lead shortly after passing the 300m marker and comfortably accounted for the always handy KING’S COMMAND by a length and a quarter. The poorly drawn newcomer SAND PATH ran on well from towards the rear in this race.

TITBITS Now a winner of two from three, ON THAT BOULEVARD showed a nice turn of foot in the latter stages when winning the MR86 Handicap over 1200m.

Unbelievable Odds

Fairview 11 December The best bet on the card for most at Monday’s turf meeting was ALGHADEER in the opening pinnacle stakes over 2400m, and the Dynasty gelding didn’t let down his supporters. Thrown in at the weights, Grant Paddock’s charge was content to sit at the back of the five for most of the journey. He sauntered up to the leaders as they approached the 200m marker and without ever really being asked to race, he won going away by two and a half.

Two of the afternoon’s eight races were staged over 1000m and by far the fastest of these was the MR64 Handicap won by the 4yo LA GRAND ROUGE. Sent off favourite at 4/1, the Western Winter gelding raced up with the speed throughout. He kept on strongly at the business end of the race and comfortably accounted for the easy to back FLYING ROCK (also raced up with the speed) by a length and three quarters.

They also ran two races over 1600m and in the faster time the former Cape Town campaigner LEADMAN completed a quick double. A winner over 1400m in the maiden ranks last time out, Tara Laing’s charge was soon up handy. She was ridden to lead shortly after passing the 300m pole and kept on strongly late to fend off a determined challenge from SEATTLE SWING by a neck.

TITBITS

Kenilworth 12 December A maiden plate for the girls over 1000m got proceedings underway in Cape Town on Tuesday and here we saw an impressive performance from the Brett Crawford trained VICE VERSA. Having only her second career outing here, this 3yo daughter of Var was very quickly two lengths clear. She kept on strongly over the final 400m and won without any anxious moments by two and a quarter.

Two of the afternoon’s eight races were run over 1200m and the quickest home in these was SUN AT MIDNIGHT when winning the MR81 Handicap.

Sent off joint third in the betting market at 9/2, the Elusive Fort mare raced at the back of the seven during the early part of the race. Less than four lengths covered all though and when given rein she quickly made headway.

She struck the front going through the 100m and won well by a length from SASSY LADY (also came from the rear).

The only other distance to stage more than one race was 1600m where the faster of the two handicaps was the MR71 affair in which UNBELIEVABLE CHAD caused a major upset. Freely available at 28/1 on the off despite now racing off a mark some 24 points below that of his former best, the top weight was always in touch with the leaders. He ran on strongly at the business end of the race and in what proved to be a real thriller he got the verdict on the nod over the well-supported outsider IN THE JUNGLE. TITBITS

Having her first start since relocating from Cape Town, MARCH AFFAIR came from the rear when getting off the mark in the maiden plate over 2000m. Trainer Yvette Bremner spoke very well of this one after the race.

The 4yo BARONESS MARY came from the back when registering her third career victory in the MR74 Handicap over 2000m.

Lightly raced RAYA BAYA fairly flew late on when getting up in the very last stride to deny PRINCESS VICKY in the MR68 Handicap over 1600m.

Springing Into Action Turffontein 12 December A pinnacle stakes topped the bill on the old stand side track on Tuesday evening and in what not surprisingly proved to be the faster of the two 1160m races, the 5yo Querari gelding KANGAROO JACK bounced back to form. Positioned alongside ANGEL’S POWER in midfield when the race began in earnest, Gary Alexander’s charge ran on stoutly over the final 400m and together with that one all the way to the wire, he only got the verdict by a short head.

The faster of the two 1000m races was the MR89 Handicap in which the nibbled at FREELY FOREVER registered her fourth career victory. She got away well when the gates opened and soon up handy raced prominent throughout. She put her head in front approaching the 200m pole and kept

on strongly late to beat the running on NO MORE WORDS by a length and a quarter.

They also ran two races over 2400m, the faster of which was the middle stakes won by the Bankable mare PARISIENNE CHIC. Easy to back at 9/1 on the off, St John Gray’s charge was always handy. She ran on strongly over the final 400m and with the rest some seven lengths adrift, she got up in the dying strides to deny the front running favourite DALLEY. TITBITS At the back 250m out after being baulked for a run, SHENANIGANS won the MR77 Handicap a lot more easily than the official margin of a length would suggest.

After running on from the backend of midfield, ICE ART won the MR70 Handicap over 1000m with a ton in hand.

Temperature Rising Greyville 13 December Wednesday’s action took place on the turf where the faster of the three 1000m races (taking into account the barrier trial) was the boy’s division of the maiden plate won by MIGHTY MERCURY. Positioned fifth during the early part of the race, the son of Pathfork put his head in front 200m out, and after quickly drawing clear he went on to score by four and a half easing down.

The rather moderate bill was topped by a MR78 Handicap and in what proved to be the faster of the two 1400m races, DIAMANTE registered her third career victory. Freely available at 18/1 on the off, the poorly drawn daughter of Tiger Ridge was soon at the head of affairs. She kept on determinedly in the short home straight and in a race where less than a length separated the first four past the post, she got the better of the well supported favourite OSPREY close home.

The two 1600m races were both maiden plates and in the faster of these (the girl’s affair) HIDDEN THOUGHT got off the mark. Taken straight to the front by Musi Yeni, the 3yo daughter of Lateral led throughout. She began to assert her authority early in the straight and eased late won very easily by three.

TITBITS Horses worth following at their next few starts...

After having to switch 150m out OBVIOUS CHILD was finishing best of all when just over a length third in the maiden plate for the boys over 1600m.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 22nd - SUNDAY 24th DECEMBER 2017

The son of Danzig enjoyed another major Guineas double in 2006, when his sons George Washington and Aussie Rules won the English and French 2000 Guineas respectively.

Remarkably, Danehill had a total of 14 Guineas winners - with his tally including winners in all of Australia, Britain, Ireland, France, and New Zealand.

Captain Al is not the only current or previous Southern Hemisphere sire to enjoy a notable Guineas double this season. Champion New Zealand sire Savabeel is sire of both the New Zealand 2000 Guineas (Embellish) and 1000 Guineas winners (Hasahalo) this season respectively.

When Tap O’ Noth landed Saturday’s Gr1 Cape Guineas, he ensured his late sire Captain Al joined an elite group of stallions responsible for at least two major Guineas winners in a single crop.

ot only did Tap O’ Noth become his sire’s second consecutive winner of the Cape Guineas but Captain Al is also sire of this season’s brilliant Gr1 Cape Fillies Guineas winner Snowdance. The latter is one of two daughters of her sire to have won the Cape Fillies Guineas with Captain’s Lover being the other.

With regional Guineas yet to be run this season in Gauteng and KZN, Captain Al’s impressive feat could well increase further.

War Talk

Captain Al is one of two Cape classic winners produced by his Broodmare Of The Year dam Off To War, with Cape Fillies Guineas winner Shadow Dancing being the other.

Other local stallions to have enjoyed more than one guineas winner in a crop include Al Mufti, whose sons Captain Al and The Sheik won the Cape Guineas and SA Guineas respectively in 2000, Fort Wood, whose daughter Shadow Dancing captured the Cape Fillies Guineas in 2004-2005 and son Dunsinane won the SA Guineas

of the same season and Dynasty.

The latter’s Act Of War (Cape Guineas) and Alexis (KRA Fillies Guineas) both landed Guineas in the South African racing season of 2013-2014.

Safe to say the late Al Mufti has had an extraordinary influence on the Cape Guineas –not only is he responsible for Captain Al, but he is broodmare sire Guineas winners Elusive Gold (Sail From Seattle) and Jay Peg (Camden Park).

Chestnut

The late Fort Wood went close to enjoying a Guineas treble in 1998-1999, with sons Horse Chestnut and Fort Defiance taking the Cape and Newmarket Guineas respectively, and daughter Dog Wood running second in the Cape Fillies Guineas.

Throughout history, a handful of outstanding stallions have come up with more than one major Guineas winner in a crop.

In 2017, the world’s premier stallion Galileo achieved the remarkable feat of his stock landing both the 2000 and 1000 Guineas, with Churchill winning the English 2000 Guineas and daughter Winter –who beat

The Tetrarch

Captain Al

paternal half-sister Rhododendron in the process -the 1000 Guineas .

Churchill and Winter would go on to lift the Irish 2000 and 1000 Guineas, respectively.

Galileo appears in the pedigrees of six of the past seven 2000 Guineas winners, and is sire of the last two winners – Minding and Winter - of the 1000 Guineas.

Even Galileo, however, is yet to achieve the remarkable feat of his progeny winning all the British classics in a single season –a feat the unbeaten St Simon accomplished in 1900. His son Diamond Jubilee won the 2000 Guineas, Derby and St Leger that year, while St Simon daughters Rhoda and Winifreda won the Oaks and 1000

Guineas respectively.

Fairway

Prior to Galileo siring the double, the last stallion responsible for a same season 1000/2000 Guineas double was Fairway, whose son Pay Up won the 1936 2000 Guineas, with his daughter Tide-way lifting the 1000 Guineas that season.

Danehill accomplished a remarkable feat in 2002, when his progeny won all of the 2000, Irish 2000, and French 2000 Guineas. Danehill’s champion Rock Of Gibraltar won both the English and Irish 2000 Guineas, while ill-fated Danehill colt Landseer lifted the French equivalent in the same year.

Tap O’ Noth, a half-brother to Saturday’s Gr3 Cape Summer Stayers Handicap winner Strathdon (Silvano), is a direct descendant of one of history’s greatest ever broodmares, Mumtaz Mahal (The Tetrarch).

The latter is ancestress of numerous high class performers the world over, with other Guineas winners descending from the ‘Flying Filly’ including On The House (1000 Guineas), Zarkava (French 1000 Guineas), Petite Etoile (1000 Guineas), Aussie Rules (French 2000 Guineas), Yesterday (Irish 1000 Guineas), and Nishapour (French 2000 Guineas). Local champion and Gauteng Fillies Guineas winner Igugu is another descendant of this remarkable producer.

Mumtaz Mahal was also granddam of champion sire Nasrullah, sire of 1000 Guineas winner Belle Of All and 2000 Guineas winner Nearula.

Tap O’ Noth’s pedigree should create plenty of interest in him as a potential stallion.

Farewell Archipenko On The Double

A

Archipenko (Kingmambo-Bound I, by Nijinsky), who recently sired his third Gr1 winner – Hong Kong Cup hero Time Warp (GB) – has died at Lanwades Stud in Newmarket from a rare form of lymphoma.

He was just 13.

press release from Lanwades owner Kirsten Rausing reads: “Archipenko had a brief illness due to a rare, rapid and aggressive lymphoma. This is a fatal but non-infectious condition that is, sadly, untreatable. Until shortly before his death, Archipenko had been in good health and, in fact, successfully covered mares to Southern Hemisphere time at Lanwades. Archipenko, as goodlooking as he was well-bred, was a delightful individual to deal with and he is an enormous loss to Lanwades and the European Thoroughbred breeding industry

in general.”

Trained initially by Aidan O’Brien and campaigned in the Michael Tabor silks, Archipenko won the Gr2 Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial in 2007 but trailed in last behind Authorized (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) in the blue riband.

Three further Gr1 assignments that season resulted in offthe-board finishes and he was transferred to trainer Mike de Kock.

Archipenko reappeared at the 2008 Dubai carnival in the silks of Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa al Maktoum and in his second start for his new connections, scooped the Gr2 Al Fahidi Fort. He was third next out

in the Gr1 Dubai Duty Free and put it all together for a Gr1 win next time in the Audemars Piguet QEII Cup at Sha Tin. Archipenko returned to Britain that summer to take the Gr2 Summer Mile at Ascot and put in a strong showing in a trip to the USA to be second in the Gr1 Arlington Million.

He added one more group win before his career came to a close, taking the Gr3 Zabeel Mile at the 2009 Dubai carnival.

Archipenko stood at Lanwades and also shuttled to Argentina.

There, he was responsible for this year’s Gr1 Gran Premio General San Martin winner Forty One (Arg) and three other Gr1 winners.

His European flagbearer was the Gr1 British Champions Fillies and Mares Stakes winner Madame Chiang (GB), while Time Warp last weekend gave his sire a Gr1 winner on three continents.

Thoroughbred Daily News

Two proven stallions produced doubles at Kenilworth and Scottsville respectively over the past weekend.

Highlands Stud’s resident sire, and Irish champion, Pathfork dominated early proceedings at Kenilworth on Saturday. Distorted Humor’s Gr1 winning son was responsible for both Township Melody, winner of the first race, and Bid Before Sunset, successful in the second race on Cape Guineas day. Both 3yo fillies are trained by the in-form Justin Snaith.

Klipdrif Stud’s young stallion Elusive Fort also enjoyed a smart double at Scottsville on Sunday. The Equus Champion’s second juvenile runner of the season, Dean Kannemeyer’s Good Buddy, scored impressively on debut while the Dennis Bosch-trained Shadow Catcher romped to a nine and a half length win over 1200m on the same afternoon.

Elusive Fort has eight lots on offer at the 2018 Cape Premier Yearling Sale, including a half-sister to Gr1 Sun
