She's A Giver can build on her run in the Ipi Tombe Stakes

There are many that will be pleased to see 2017 fade away to a memory and the R250 000 Gr3 Flamboyant Stakes has the honour of bringing the national feature curtain down on a topsy turvy horseracing year at Greyville on Sunday.

Gr3 Flamboyant

Gr3 FLAMBOYANT STAKES at Greyville this Sunday

T

he race is run at weightfor-age plus penalties of 3kgs for a Gr1 win, 2kgs for a Gr2 score and a kilo for a Gr3 success.

It has attracted a quality field of thirteen, which includes two exciting undefeated daughters of Dynasty.

Opportunity

Both 3yo’s are unexposed and get a great opportunity to tell their connections exactly where they are headed in 2018.

Dean Kannemeyer resisted the temptation to take the progressive Hashtagyolo to Cape Town for the season after the Varsfontein bred filly scored a facile end-to-end win in

the KZN Guineas Trial over Sunday’s course-and –distance in October.

He told us after that win that ‘she is a big galloping filly who will be much better in six month’s time’. There has been no rush to get her taking on the big guns and she steps out after a 10 week break with Anthony Delpech in the irons again. What was most impressive is that she won her maiden from miles back and picked up her second start success from the front. That shows versatility – an important trait in a good horse.

Big Debut

The Cheveley Stud-bred Statute, a full-sister to former Drakenstein stallion Legislate, blew her opposition away on debut at Scottsville at the

PAST WINNERS

beginning of this month and she gets thrown into the deep end by Muis Roberts, with the advantage of a 1 draw. Statute beat little of note and experience is the only factor likely to see her play second fiddle here.

SP top-rated She’s A Giver has been allotted topweight and the 2016 Gr3 Starling Stakes winner finally looks to be finding her best form after a quiet spell. She showed up well when finishing under a length behind L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate contender Nother Russia in the Gr2 Ipi Tombe Challenge last time and can give Gavin Lerena a double after his nice win on Fort Ember last season.

The multiple stakes placed Sail is another smart daughter of

ivarine carried only 53,5kgs in this handicap in 2016 when beating Queen Laurie and this time round carries 58kgs.

Gavin Lerena takes the reins on Saturday and could inject some life back into the 4yo, whose last win was a Pinnacle Plate in June. Rivarine finished 5,50 lengths behind The Thinker in the Merchants on Summer Cup Day but meets the Van Vuuren speedster on a 4,5kgs turnaround.

That will assist him.

His stablemate Splendid Garden has been battling for ages to register his sixth win and does not look to have the form to win a race of this nature.

JC PHOTOS

The seven-time winner Lala is the old lady of the race and ran a fair fifth in this race last year. She showed a welcome return to form - albeit on the polytrack - last time when carrying top weight to a courageous win.

The Trippi filly Dawn Calling must be the best one-time winner having her 19th career start in the country!

Mike Azzie returns with the top-class Var gelding Rivarine to defend his 2016 Gr3 Lebelo Sprint title at Turffontein on Saturday. The smart speedster has not been in the best of form lately, but must have a decent chance in this line-up.

It looks tough for the rest and we are siding with Hashtagyolo to continue on her winning ways at the expense of She’s A Giver and Sail. And we will find out how good Statute is.

Double On The Cards

R

O

Philanthropist and she should strip fitter after her prep run earlier this month.

She was given a pipe-opener after a seven month break and with top-class place credits to her name, would be a danger if finding her best foot.

Mike de Kock sends out the Australian-bred 3yo pair of Mujallad and Alfolk. Both have shown good promise and the stakes placed Mujallad would only have to find his better earlier form off his handy 52kg galloping weight to win this.

His stablemate Alfolk has excellent course and distance form and came within a heartbeat of winning the

Golden Loom Handicap at his last start. Both the De Kock pair can be included.

The 6yo topweight Talktothestars ran a cracking second behind London Calling last Sunday at Scottsville and will strip a fit horse in the hands of Piere Strydom. The Gr1 winning son of Overlord has not won a race since October 2016 but was on the heels of the placed horses in the Merchants won by The Thinker, and meets the winner on 3,5kgs better terms.

Thoughts The Thinker has won 5 of his 11 starts and caught the eye with a spectacular Merchants win at his last start. The son of Visionaire has not escaped the handicapper’s attention and he needs to show he is as good as the experts suggest he is. This lightly raced galloper could be equal to the task.

The third of the Azzie trio, Angel’s Power ran a poor race in the Gr2 Merchants but came out to chase the well-performed Kangaroo Jack home in a PInnacle Plate last time out. That was a better showing.

Sean Tarry’s Donny G ran a much

better race again last Saturday when chasing surprise winner Pure Blonde home at Turffontein and that looks to be a perfect launch pad into a winning bid here. He will be ridden by the in-form Lyle Hewitson.

Paul Peter’s African Ruler looks to have lost his pace and honest consistent form of earlier. He was hampered in the Merchants when running some 12,50 lengths back and has not won a race in 15 months. He was also well beaten in this same race last year.

Short List It is difficult getting too excited about any of the others and we are siding with Rivarine to make it a double at the expense of the De Kock pair of Mujallad and Alfolk. The Thinker has to carry more pudding but he looks very talented, while Talktothestars is a trojan and can never be left out.

CHASE LIEBENBERG

Bernard Fayd’herbe and Sergeant Hardy are well in control at the line

SOUTHEASTER SPRINT (L) Kenilworth last Saturday

U

nlike at recent Kenilworth meetings, the Cape Doctor was not on duty on Saturday and a light breeze kept matters cool on a programme that saw disappointingly small fields being hosted.

A Gr3 winning son of Captain Al, Sergeant Hardy is beset by breathing issue due to a vocal chord disease, but his heart and ability makes up for

the respiratory shortcomings – and on Saturday he showed his paces.

Demonstrating that his fitness levels were vastly improved after his Cape Merchants no-show, Bernard Fayd’herbe had the 4yo out quickly and hard against the inside rail.

With the field reduced to seven runners as a result of the withdrawal of Kingston Passage at the start, there was little to go with the Sergeant as he stretched in front.

At the 400m, the very capable Brutal Force looked dangerous for a moment but Fayd’herbe was bluffing out front.

Sergeant Hardy kicked again at the 150m marker and drew away to beat Rock Of Africa by 1,75 lengths in a time of 64,08 secs with Brutal Force a further 3,50 lengths back in third under his 62kg top weight.

Lord Balmoral (6,25 lengths) and Horse Guards (8,50 lengths) were the

Sergeant Marches On Justin Snaith’s perpetual motion machine Sergeant Hardy came out firing on all cylinders to go from gun to tape and win the R150 000 Listed Southeaster Sprint at Kenilworth on Saturday. disappointments of the race.

Sergeant Hardy was knocked down to Glen Kotzen at the 2015 Cape Premier Yearling Sale for R450 000, but subsequently failed the post-sale scope which resulted in the sale being cancelled. At the Ready to Run Sale his right vocal chord remained paralysed, and a veterinary certificate to this effect was posted on his stable door. It was at this sale that he was bought

back for R70 000 – an extraordinary price for a horse with an advertised defect.

He is by deceased champion sire Captain Al (Al Mufti) out of the four-time winner Hard Lady (by Hard Up), who also raced in the vieux rose and white silks.

Sergeant Hardy has now won 7 races with 4 places from 15 starts and stakes of R1 158 375.

Interestingly, he won the non blacktype Need For Speed Sprint at the corresponding meeting last year.

LISTED CHRISTMAS HANDICAP Greyville last Tuesday Lyle Hewitson enjoys an armchair experience on Roy Had Enough

late-finishing Legend in a time of 95,94 secs.

This was the young Avontuursponsored Lyle Hewitson’s 61st winner of the term and he holds a commendable second place on the national jockey log as the sun sets on a long year.

The topweight Redcarpet Captain was always in the firing line and hung on for third ahead of the runner-up’s stablemate Wild Wicket.

Johannesburg challenger Doosra ran stone last in a disappointing effort.

Roy Had Enough has won 3 races with 5 places from his 11 starts for stakes of R338 625.

There was little festive cheer for punters on a forgettable 2017 Boxing Day at Greyville on Tuesday. One bomb result followed the next, although the Australian-bred 3yo Roy Had Enough was not winning the R250 000 Listed Christmas Handicap entirely out of turn.

ith only a percentage of the R2,1 million Pick 6 being won, there was little to cheer about – although Summerveld trainer Frank Robinson and owner Roy Moodley may be excited that the

Pierro colt they thought good enough to travel to Joburg for an unsuccessful tilt at the Dingaans, could well have some scope to go on and win his races.

With little pace early on, it was not surprising to find the versatile Redcarpet Captain bringing his field for home, with eventual winner Roy Had Enough last of the bunch.

The colt was a A$95,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Element Hill draft for World Wide Bloodstock and is the first winner for Queens Plaza (Elusive Quality), an unraced daughter of dual Gr1 winner and Australian Oaks queen Danendri.

His Coolmore sire Pierro (Lonhro) beat All Too Hard to clinch the Australian first-season sire championship in July.

On the track, Pierro won 11 of his 14 starts, sweeping the Sydney juvenile Gr1 grand slam of the Golden Slipper-Sires’ ProduceChampagne Stakes, and defeating his elders in two Gr1’s at three before retiring with earnings of A$4,536,650.

When Roy Had Enough won his maiden in July, he became his sire’s first winner on African soil.

He could pay to follow.

last Weekend Need For Speed Sprint

Kenilworth Saturday

Fourie’s Festive Five Richard Fourie is riding with almost nonchalant confidence at the moment and his powerful unflustered style suits a range of horses – and trainers it seems, with his five winners being provided by four different yards.

His ride on the long overdue Speedpoint for Joey Ramsden in the non black-type support feature at Kenilworth on Saturday was superb.

The Var colt, who has played the frustrating bridemaid and had only won once previously, was relaxed in midfield as What A Winner and Shufoog showed good toe early.

The latter, a flashy chestnut daughter of Star Witness, showed resolve under her handy galloping weight as she moved forward strongly down the rail in the final stages, but Fourie didn’t even need his crop as he pushed Speedpoint to lead inside the distance.

The 33-10 Speedpoint charged home to register 58,71 secs for the 1000m and beat the gutsy Mike de Kock filly Shufoog by just over a half length.

Bred by Drakenstein Stud, the well named Speedpoint is a son of Var (Forest Wildcat) out of the ill-fated Durban July winner Big City Life’s full-sister, Cash Register (Casey Tibbs).

The latter, a dual stakes winner, won the Gr3 Final Fling Stakes at her peak when trained

Bankers Tighten Screws But…

Mayfair Can Continue To Trade

I

ABSA Bank will be keeping a close eye on the day to day operations of Markus Jooste’s embattled Mayfair Speculators in the weeks building up to their court date on 8 February 2018.

n a court order issued by the Honourable Mr Justice Desai on 22 December, it states that Mayfair Speculators will ensure that all asset realisations – in this case mostly the sale of horses – will be paid to a specified account for the benefit of the company’s creditors.

Justice Desai has permitted Mayfair to utilise a separate ‘operating expenses’ account from where they may pay ongoing operating expenses. This account is open at all times to the bank’s scrutiny and ABSA have been authorised to stop any payments they deem fit until such time as the validity of the payment is verified.

Mayfair Speculators will also be required to submit a weekly budget of expenses in advance to the bank for their approval.

Mayfair’s racing manager Derek Brugman told Gold Circle’s Michael Clower on Saturday: “I couldn’t say anything before this because my hands were tied but we have now made an agreement with the financiers that we can continue racing and continue selling the horses.”

Brugman said that “long term” the plan is to sell all the horses and added: “We have been given time by the financiers to sell them in a structured manner over a period of time. We are not in a fire-sale situation.”

Brugman also said that dual Gr1 winner Edict of Nantes had been sold to Hong Kong last month. The four-year-old is second favourite for the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate on Saturday week and for the Sun Met on 27 January but has drifted in the market for the latter as doubts grow about him running in the R5 million spectacular. He may have to go into quarantine before this date and Betting World, has suspended betting on the race.

Asked whether Edict Of Nantes was likely to run, Brugman would only say: “That is something for the

new owners to comment on.”

According to the Daily Dispatch the price paid for the four-year-old was just under R10 million while numerous press reports have stated that the price paid by Tekkie Town owner Braam van Huyssteen and his partners for Jooste’s best horse Legal Eagle was a much more reasonable R3.2 million.

Yearlings have sold for more and struggled to win. Legal Eagle is six but he still has the rest of this season and all the next one before his powers really start to decline. He is officially the best in the country and is 11-10 favourite to collect R937 000 in the Queen’s Plate. He is also favourite for the Met whose first prize is nearly R3 million. Even if, as in the last two seasons, he comes up against a rival who stays the trip better than he does second place still pays R1 million.

It has been suggested that overseas-stipulated quarantine restrictions could be relaxed in time for him to compete for even more valuable prizes abroad but there are too many doubts about that happening for it to have influenced the price. However there is still the rich Highveld season to come, let alone next season as well.

Ed – Hollywood are still betting on the Sun Met – with Edict Of Nantes not included

Stipes Claws Out For Santa

The National Horseracing Authority of South Africa may think that they have their hands full with the juggling of the Mayfair Speculators saga and the caffeine positive hot potato as 2017 draws to a close.

But that’s not serious stuff when one considers what their colleagues at the British Horseracing Authority may have to deal with. This after a racetrack allowed Santa Claus and not one, but two, elves to parade on the track before races.

The Guardian reports that Father Christmas became Bad Santa when he was called before the stewards at Lingfield racecourse on Christmas Eve to account for his actions, which

will now be the subject of a British Horseracing Authority inquiry.

Santa, played by Andy Irvine, the partner of a local trainer Zoe Davison, and his two elves paraded on the track before racing but because Lingfield had not sought permission the stewards intervened.

“It’s an annual event, it’s put up on the big screen and the kids come out to watch it,” said Coral’s Simon Clare, whose 12-year-old daughter, Eloise, was one of the elves.

“The stewards interviewed the clerk of the course, who it transpires had failed to seek permission.

They forwarded his comments to the BHA for consideration,” the official report stated.

Punters Slam Tote Saftote’s exotic bet late scratching rules once again came to haunt punters when the strongly fancied Candice Bass-Robinson trained Rocket Master was withdrawn at the start of the Greyville third race on Boxing Day. Festive cheer was not the general tone of the calls and emails received by the Sporting Post after the replacement tote favourite Son Of Silver ran out of the money.

The fact is that punters choose to play by the rules that say that if your horse is withdrawn, it gets replaced by the tote favourite.

The fact that the tote favourite may well be a horse last on your selections list or a beast you’d never consider including is neither here nor there.

“Are we supposed to be celebrating that the guys got nailed and some of us are sitting on a minimum PA of R7 and a Bipot of R24,” asked one regular punter after the third race and who said the Saftote management seemed to ‘get a bigger thrill’ out of big dividends rather than ensuring that more punters win.

“This happens once a month. Vee Moodley and his colleagues don’t have an interest in making our lot a better one. Maybe it’s time we voted with our hard-earned rands,” said another, who assured us he wasn’t speaking from his pocket.

Another faithful follower acknowledged the fact that the horses were taken out of the stalls and that punters were given time to

restructure their bets.

“But those are only the guys at home on a pc or in the tote. What about the thousands of punters without connectivity and those that were spending the public holiday with their families? One way to alienate your customer is to give him the feeling that he has been robbed and was out before he had a run for his tom.”

To add insult to injury, we still couldn’t tell our readers why Rocket Master was scratched, until the Stipes report was published later.

The official report stated that he was difficult to load and was fractious in the stalls. He was removed from the gates and was withdrawn by the Starter. Rocket Master has had his starting stall certificate withdrawn.

The subject of late scratchings has been raised countless times.

Punters must take it or leave it, because nobody is listening.

Nother Russia

hey say if you want something done, ask a busy person. It’s always fun ringing Mike de Kock. Not only does he run one of the most powerful racing strings in South Africa, with serious racing interests both locally and abroad, as well as the myriad other responsibilities and volumes of experience that go with being one of the best of his profession, he always makes for interesting conversation.

And despite being constantly run off his feet, he is always enormously generous with his time.

The current subject of my curiosity is the little chestnut dynamo known as Nother Russia, the only foal ever produced by that crack race filly, Mother Russia, who blew us all away with her grit and determination from 2008 to 2011. As a fun fact, Mother Russia raced in the interests of Mary Slack, while her daughter races in the interests of Mary’s daughter, Jessica.

Mother Russia Mike trained Mother Russia, but explains that it was only from the end of her 3yo career onwards. “We bought her from Joey Ramsden. To be honest, when she came on the market, I didn’t believe it to be true.

When Joey phoned and said the filly was going to be sold, I said it’s impossible, no-one sells a filly like that. Joey said trust me, I’m tipping you a winner, put your head down and buy her.”

Star fillies don’t come cheap, so Mike went to long-standing patron, Mary Slack. “It was a lot of money at the time, but I told Mary that in my opinion the filly should not be on the market. I said don’t question it, let’s just put our heads down and buy her.” Mary, who not only has an eye for a good filly, but a healthy sense of adventure, phoned back five minutes later and said OK. “It was tough on Joey to lose the horse,” continues Mike, “but he said if he had to lose her to anyone, he’d rather lose it to us and for that we’ll be eternally grateful to him. She gave us a helluva lot of pleasure.”

Mother Russia was Equus Champion Older Filly in 2010 and ended her career with 13 wins (including the Gr1 Empress Club Stakes, the Gr1 Paddock Stakes, the Gr1 Majorca Stakes and the Gr1 Queen’s Plate) and an enormous haul of places in top company. From 27 starts, she only finished out of the money twice.

Mary retired Mother Russia to her Wilgerbosdrift Stud in Piketberg and mated her to their enigmatic resident stallion Tiger Ridge, she produced Nother Russia in 2012.

Tough start The little white faced filly didn’t get the easiest of starts. Shortly after foaling, her dam contracted post foaling biliary and had to be taken to hospital for treatment. Her milk dried up and the whole experience affected her ability to mother the foal, so Nother Russia was raised by a foster mare. Despite the traumatic start, being out of such a special mare Nother Russia was very precious cargo indeed and with all the extra attention, grew up a friendly little soul and was soon the farm favourite.

Nother Russia joined the

9

Wilgerbosdrift National Yearling Sale draft in 2014, where she was led through the ring as lot 462 and purchased by Mike de Kock. Asked what made her catch his eye at the sales, Mike is characteristically frank, “Her mother, to be honest. She was an OK looking yearling, but she wasn’t wow and I think the fact she sold for R550k probably tells the story, given her pedigree. Mother Russia had actually passed away and Jehan Malherbe and myself advised against selling the filly, but I think Mary felt she wanted to offer her best yearlings for sale.”

Fortunately all’s well that ends well, as he’d bought her on behalf of Jessica Slack – unbeknown to her mother at the time!

It Takes A Village Like all good stories, the journey hasn’t been straightforward. Mike remembers, “She always had a bit of character, but I always like fillies with a little bit of fire in them. Once we started her with the gates we could see we were going to have

a problem. We were losing the battle at home, so I got Malan du Toit out and for the first few races he was there all the time.”

In addition to the De Kock team and her groom Nkosi, another rock solid part of the Nother Russia team is jockey Craig Zackey who is more than a little smitten with the filly and has partnered her in all of her starts – and most of her work, by the sounds of it!

When you mention her name, he immediately breaks out into a shy smile. “There’s always been something about her. Right from the start I begged Mathew to let me work with her. I said I’ll do all the work on her, I’ll put her in the pens, I’ll come on a Sunday just to work with her. A lot of the jocks thought she was no good and that she was mad in the gates, but maybe it was knowing her mother, I don’t know. Before I went to the Academy I saw her mother win and she was one of my favourites, so I didn’t care whether the filly was good or not, I just wanted to ride her.”

Mike continues, “I felt it important that whoever rode her, stayed with her. With some of those horses that are quirky in the gates, if you keep chopping and changing, they can get a reputation. The jocks tell the others that the horse is dilly and they end up getting preconceived ideas. I feel if you’ve got one jockey working with the horse, you’ll win more than you’ll lose.”

“I believe the fact that we’ve had Craig on all the time has been important for her mental state and has helped with the gates.

I know he waxes on, but he really does like

the filly and I like that. They have a real affinity, which I think works well.”

Hard work rewarded The hard work paid off. Nother Russia made her track debut in January 2016 and notched two good seconds before reeling off two wins in a row. After a good long break, she won the first start of her 4yo career and then notched two more places before stepping up to feature company to win the Gr3 Acacia Handicap in March this year. If there had been any doubts about her ability, she put them firmly to bed with a 1.5 length victory in the Gr1 Empress Club Stakes in April and closed off the season with a cracking run in the Gr1 Premier’s Champions Challenge in May, producing a thrilling three-way finish with Deo Juvente and Dual Horse Of The Year, Legal Eagle.

After a well-deserved rest, Nother Russia started her 5yo season posting back to back wins at Turffontein in November and then made her way to Cape Town for the summer season.

Racing people Given the filly’s pedigree and her track record, it’s a real credit to Jessica Slack – and the great good fortune of racing fans – that Nother Russia has not been whisked off to stud.

Mike concurs. “First and foremost, Mary and Jessica are racing people.

Their breeding gives them great satisfaction, but I believe their greatest satisfaction comes from racing and being competitive. I think we all learned an important lesson with Ilha Da Vitoria racing until she was 5. She was under achieving at three and four and then at five she just matured.”

“Also, both Mary and Jessica are accomplished horsewomen in their own right, which makes my job easier because they understand and care for their horses which not all horse owners necessarily do,” he says with feeling . “They love giving their horses a rest and as soon as I say this wants a bit of time or a rest, the truck is there in five minutes. They’re always happy to have their horses home to feed them carrots and so on, but it’s done wonders for all their horses and I think the key is that they are both horse people who understand the physiological challenges horses go through to compete at the highest level.”

He is also quick to compliment the farm staff, who do an excellent job of ensuring the horses are refreshed both mentally and physically and return to him in good nick.

Family Ties “I take great pride in retiring fillies to stud that breed well. With fillies I’ve trained, I want to buy their progeny and I’m always the first to look and buy what they’ve produced. One thing for me as a trainer is a sense of pride in training the progeny of fillies I’ve retired to stud that are happy and breeding well.

I pride myself in that. Mother Russia must have been some broodmare,” he muses. “Her only foal to get to the races is a Gr1 winner. Thank goodness Jessica really liked the filly from day one and bought her.”

Asked what she’s like to work with, Mike says, “She’s very gritty and tough. That’s definitely the genes coming through - Mother Russia was one of the toughest fillies I’ve ever seen or dealt with and she was also a superior athlete – she’s definitely carried that through to her daughter.”

Is it easier training horses from families he knows well? “You’ll often see when training progeny of fillies and mares – and even stallions – they’ll do things and you’ll immediately say ‘the mother used to do that’. They are connected at the end of the day, so there are always similarities with the parents and progeny. I think that’s why I enjoy training the progeny. I like to relate back to the parents or the siblings for that matter. I’ve always been one that goes back to the stallion or buys from the families that have been good to me. Maybe I’ve been lucky, but maybe I’ve also got a slight advantage in knowing the strengths and weaknesses.”

Nother Russia is the only filly entered for the 2018 Gr1 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate on 6 January and should she run, stands to emulate her famous dam’s victory back in 2011.

However, Mike is quick to point out that Nother Russia is currently entered for the Paddock Stakes as well. “At this stage we’re probably leaning towards that, but we’ll watch the scratchings and see what happens as the fields cut up.”

Alongside the ‘business’ end of racing with the daily staging of races according to a carefully planned programme runs the equally important collecting and recording of data. The simple act of recording race after race, day after day, means that – at the race track anyway history is written every 40 minutes and being on course gives one a front row seat. As with most things in life, some bits are just that little more special than others and the 2017 renewal of the Gr1 Cape Guineas certainly qualified.

n addition to the hours, days and months of hard work that goes into getting a horse to the race track, volumes can be written about stories and connections behind every name in our record books.

The Jockey Club calendar entry for Saturday, 16 December 2017 reflects that the race was won by Tap O’Noth, a 3yo colt by Captain Al out of Wintersweet. Bred by Alec Foster and racing in the interests of The Hon. Gillian Foster and Alec Foster, the horse was ridden by MJ Byleveld and trained by Vaughan Marshall. Although unremarkable information on its own, a little delving through the history books reflects that it is Vaughan’s 5th Cape Guineas winner. In addition is the fact that he trained Captain Al to Guineas victory in 2000, saddled his son, William Longsword in 2016 and has just repeated the feat with Tap O’Noth.

in PE. He won his maiden in PE at the beginning of November and then I brought him down to Cape Town.

In those days you had to win three to qualify for the Guineas. He won his next start in early December and we were under pressure to win another race, so we ran him again about two weeks later and he won that and qualified. Then he won the Guineas and ended up winning 5 in a row.

He was a super, super horse.”

Sadly, Face North was killed in a road accident a few months later.

“He was heading to Johannesburg for the old Germiston November Handicap. The idea was to race there and then travel to Cape Town for the Queen’s Plate and Met. I had three horses on the float, the driver fell asleep and they were all killed. Those were my three best horses at the time. It was a big blow for me to take.”

Start of an Era

Then came 2000 and that unforgettable win by Captain Al. Marshall Mastery “Gary dos Santos and I were friends Vaughan first won the Cape through John Koster, although I Guineas with Sea Warrior back in didn’t train for him at the time.

Sea Warrior was an R18,000 National Yearling Sale purchase.

“He was a feisty little horse. He was from the first crop of Complete Warrior out of a good female line and a very athletic horse, which is what attracted me to him.” It was also the start of a wonderful relationship.

“Out of my five Guineas wins, four have had connections to Klawervlei.

It’s been a wonderful ride for me with John Koster.”

He did chuckles at the memory. very well,” he says thoughtfully. “He Continuing the legacy won the Guineas and we took him Vaughan trained Captain Al’s first to Durban for the Natal Guineas.

He loved Cape Town and I brought him back that horse dearly,” says Vaughan to sprints and he won the Merchants softly.

Vaughan stayed loyal to his and the Diadem. As a 4yo we ran him in the Cape Flying which was champion, making something of really too short. He was battling a speciality of training Captain Al with his breathing, so we decided progeny, including Hill Fifty Four rather than ruin his reputation we’d who won the 2013 J&B Met, but he send him to stud, so in March of his shrugs modestly and says he’s had 4yo career he was already on the a huge amount of luck. farm waiting for the season to start.”

Like father, like son Was there any inkling that Captain Asked to describe William Al would turn into the phenomenon he became? “John and I always had Longsword, the first thing he faith in him,” he says firmly and then notes is that he had a wonderful recounts an amusing story. “At my temperament, much like his sire, as partner Jenny’s 40th birthday some well as like his current charge, Tap of the folks at the party – we won’t O’Noth. “The best way to describe William is that he’s a mention any names It’s a team game and brute. He was a big, - said we were mad strong horse who to send the horse you work together made his presence to stud and that he wouldn’t make it as a stallion. Gary felt. He knew he was good. The was at the party and the next day story I always tell is that he was he phoned John and said maybe we very quiet and not coltish at all until needed to reassess. John asked why the Wednesday after the Guineas. and Gary explained what he’d heard. They came to take his photograph John said, ‘What have I told you and and he was virtually impossible.

We couldn’t get him to stand,” he shakes his head. “The next day he was back to normal, but just for that one day he announced ‘I am the Guineas winner.’ He

work was very special.”

With Anton Marcus opting for Table Bay as his 2016 Guineas ride, it was extra special that longstanding stable jockey MJ Byleveld got the ride on William Longsword that afternoon. “MJ puts in a lot,” observes Vaughan.

“Obviously the relationship with Mayfair was hard because whenever there was something that looked good, MJ was jocked off, so it was wonderful that he got the ride that day. But what makes it really special to me is that William and Tap O’Noth were both drawn badly and MJ had to pull out some expertise to win. He did it both times and to me, with aplomb.”

Special And of course there’s the small matter of like father, like son. William Longsword looked the epitome of his sire thundering down the Kenilworth straight and a Guineas double with both the sire and the son is a rare achievement. “It was a very special race,” says Vaughan. “I’d had that feeling before with Hill Fifty Four, who was also by Captain Al. To me the Guineas and the Met are the greatest races to win, so to win them with sons of Captain Al was just the cherry on the top as far as I’m concerned.”

“I was sorry to lose William so early in his career, he was a sound horse and I thought he could go on and win more big races, but taking everything into account, Captain Al’s fertility at the time and the fact that the bloodline was needed on the farm, it was the right decision for him to go to stud. He was extremely valuable obviously and that’s what you’re here for. It’s a team game and you work together.”

On to Saturday’s victory. Vaughan is famous for turning his horses out immaculately, with their neat tack, braided manes and specially coloured browbands, they are always a picture on parade. The stable’s efforts served to make it even easier to spot the good looking son of Captain Al this year as he is a particularly high class individual.

Vaughan concurs, “From the first day we cantered him and put him into work he gave us the impression he’d be a special horse. Everything we asked, he did with consummate ease and he just went on from there.

When we knew we had a Guineas horse on our hands, we just had to plot a course to get him here in good shape and we knew he’d bring it through for us.

Looking ahead The plan going forward are currently a little fluid. “We will have a crack at the Derby and see how he goes there. I’m pretty convinced he’ll see out the 2000m. Obviously there’s a little bit of doubt, but we’ll take it one step at a time.”

Cutting It Fine

Vaal 14 December There were eleven races on the inside track on Tuesday, four of which were run over 1200m. The only race amongst these not contested by maidens (a MR68 Handicap) was the fastest of these and here victory went to the well exposed BURUNDI BUSH. Easy to back at 11/1 on the off St John Gray’s charge raced in midfield during the early part of the race. She ran on best of all from halfway and won going away after striking the front 150m from home.

A MR88 Handicap topped the bill and in what proved to be by far the faster of the two races over 1400m the Jay Peg filly EMILY JAY registered her third career victory. She got away well when the gates opened and soon up handy raced prominent throughout. She was ridden to lead as they approached the 400m marker and kept on strongly in the latter stages of the race to beat the always handy DOWN TO ZERO by a length and a half.

The faster of the two 1000m handicaps on the card was the MR72 affair in which LE TIGRE narrowly landed the spoils. Up with the pace throughout, Leon Erasmus’ charge commenced battle with the much more fancied BRIGTNUMBERTEN 250m out, and with the rest left trailing in their wake, he only got the better of a thrilling tussle by the narrowest of margins.

TITBITS

Fairview 15 December Friday’s action took place on the turf where the fastest of the three 1200m races was the MR84 Handicap won by the Western Cape raider TWINKLE TOES. Sent off a well-supported favourite at 2/1, Justin Snaith’s charge was always handy. She ran on strongly over the final 400m and got up in the very last stride to deny the front running second favourite BOXLEY. The listed Memorial Mile over 1600m topped the bill and here favourite backers were again on the mark when STORMY ECLIPSE did the business. Confidently ridden by regular pilot Charles Ndlovu, the Dynasty gelding guarded the rear for most of the journey. He fairly flew when the race developed into a sprint and got up in the dying strides.

The faster of the two 1400m races on the card was the MR66 Handicap in which the 5yo DIVAR registered his third career victory. In touch throughout, Divar put his head in front 150m out and won with a ton in hand by a length and a half.

TITBITS Making his first appearance in the Eastern Cape, OVERDOSE won the maiden plate over 2400m going away by four and three quarters.

Overdose’s stable companion SIR CLIFF also won very easily on his first appearance in the Eastern Cape when getting off the mark in the maiden plate over 1600m.

Greyville 15 December As per usual on a Friday night slower than that of The Bayou, it was the poly track that saw AWESOMENESS registered her the action. Five went to post for second career victory. Sent off the opening barrier trail and as third in the betting market at 5/1, expected it was a walk in the park Candice Bass-Robinson’s charge for the talented RED CHESNUT was always handy. She was ridden ROAD.

In a race that developed into more of a 500m sprint, Ormond Ferraris’ charge ran on stoutly at the business end of the race and got up late to deny UNAGI (raced handy – led 500m).

more fancied TWELVE OAKS. The MR93 Handicap was the faster of the two 1800m races and here we saw a smart performance from the progressive WILD HORIZON. Now a winner of 6 of his 21 starts to date, the son of Fort Wood was always handy.

He was ridden to lead shortly after passing the 200m pole and comfortably accounted for the running on SAMURAI BLADE by two and a quarter.

Soon up handy, the son of Elusive Fort put his head in front at the halfway mark and won going away by a length and a half.

Four of the afternoon’s eight races were run over 1200m and stopping the clock in the fastest of these was SHWANKY in the MR76 Handicap. Another to race handy and take up the running at the 400m marker, Louis Goosen’s charge kept on strongly in the closing stages of the race to beat the running on ROYAL AGREE by three quarters.

A MR86 Handicap over 1750m topped the bill and in what comparatively proved to be the fastest of the three races around the turn, GINGERBREAD MAN registered his fifth career victory. Always handy in a race devoid of pace early on, the son of Querari took up the running 200m out and won well from the always handy WARFARER. TITBITS Always handy, the 18/10 favourite SHADOW CATCHER won the maiden plate for 3yo’s over 1200m going away by nine and a half.

The Year In Review January Greyville’s New Year’s Day card was delayed while the burnt patch caused by a leaky lawnmower was covered up.

Flamingo Park went one better, having to call off a meeting after someone forgot to book the transport bus. Paul Gadsby got in hot water over his groom kicking a horse on camera, Ken Truter became Chairman of the NHA and despite no word on sectional timing, Vaal Stipe reports listed ‘devices’ being tested. L’Ormarins’ first two day festival got off to a good start and Legal Eagle won a second Queen’s Plate, but there was acrimony on social media following a below par run from Abashiri.

The Kieswetter family bought Highlands and won the inaugural R5 million Sun Met with Whisky Baron and his trophy. There was a Big Bang over late scratchings for the $500,000 CTS Sales races, Candice Robinson celebrated her first Gr1 with Nightingale and Frankie Dettori delivered the Cape Derby on Edict Of Nantes. Aldo Domeyer rode 6 winners at Kenilworth and Ormond Ferraris celebrated his 2500th career win in the London News Stakes. We sadly lost PE stalwart, Peter Fenix.

February Corrie Lensley saddled 6 winners at Kimberley, Gavin Lerena notched career win 1500 on Brazuca while commentary box newcomer, Brandon Bailey, called them home with aplomb. Abashiri was sold to the Cornerstone Trust, Adriaan van Vuuren in trouble with Trudon, that pesky stakes agreement raised its head with the RA saying they govern stake money and the NHA failed to cover itself in glory over the cobalt saga.

Colin Scott lost his battle with cancer and the winds of change blew hard at Summerhill.

March Mike de Kock scored his 3000th career win with Janoobi in the Gauteng Guineas, Tara Laing saddled the first 3 past the EC Sprint post and Snaith Racing found President Trump a handful. Highlands sponsored the Cape Winter Series and the Empress Club Stakes moved from 15 to 22 April to accommodate HSH Princess Charlene.

Larry Wainstein told the Sporting Post to get stuffed and Brian Burnard launched a new Gold Circle Owners body. A return to the refurbed Vaal Classic track degenerated into farce and the meeting was abandoned after the 4th race. The NHA disposed of Western Cape stipe Tarquin Norval, investigating officer Steve Naude and handicapper Ken Nicol and March ended tragically with Adriaan van Vuuren found dead in his hotel room.

April Classic Day became ‘Tarry Day’ when Sean won 7 of the day’s 12 race card. Corrie Lensley saddled another 6 card of winners at Kimberley and SA’s most expensive sales yearling, Silver Coin, provided a small ROI by winning on debut.

Backworth dispersed, Amanda Carey left CTS and Ricky De Nobrega stepped down as WC racing photographer.

Administrative penny-pinching saw only 3 Stipes on duty at Scottsville, leaving Anton Marcus to lodge an objection in a race review. There was more bungling at Greyville with an incorrectly placed false rail and

two horses having to be scratched.

Phum’s interim results reflected that racing is running at an increasing loss.

May The NYS saw a new record as Varsfontein’s Var filly sold to Form Bloodstock for R5 million. Champions Day delivered a 3-way finish in the R4 million Premier’s Champion’s Challenge and a Gr1 treble for Callan Murray. Argentinian ‘mystery horse’, Hat Puntano, is supplemented for the July (but scratches later) and dual Summer Cup hero Master Sabina moves from Woodruff to Snaith Racing.

Aldo Domeyer rode another card of 6 winners including the Nursery double on Magical Wonderland and Dutch Philip – both for Candice Robinson, both by What A Winter Saffa’s shone abroad as Gavin Lerena won at Newmarket, Callan Murray won in Hong Kong, Smart Call finished 3rd in the Gr2 Middleton Stakes and Straight Shooter (Frankel) won for Mayfair Speculators at SaintCloud.

Mpho Ramafalo resigned from the Phumelela Board, the TBA appointed Lee Scribante as the new Chairman and Catherine Hartley as the new CEO and the Graded Races Committee downgraded several races to comply with the Asian Pattern Committee.

Planning approval for a largescale development for Kenilworth racecourse took locals by surprise, fire decimated the Lanzerac Hotel and the breeding fraternity lost Sue Winter.

June African Night Sky made history as the second horse to win the Cape Winter Series and Bernard Fayd’herbe as the only jockey to have won it – twice. There was progress with exports as Alan Guthrie’s RTPCR was validated by the OIE, a fire at the NHA destroyed lab equipment and the Equus panel cancelled the media award. The public gallops ended Elusive Silva’s July hopes giving Candice Robinson’s Horizon a starting berth. Ascot Stud enjoyed a

On the international front, Douglas Macarthur contested the Epsom Derby in the Mayfair silks, Same Jurisdiction ran 2nd at Leicester and Smart Call finished 4th in the Gr2 Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Ascot.

Apprentice Mpumelelo Mjoka won the Longines Future Racing Stars at Chantilly and Tony Millard, Callan Murray and Horse Of Fortune won the G3 Premier Plate in HK. ‘Catamaran-gate’ landed Muzi Yeni, Brandon Lerena, Raymond Danielson and Justin Vermaak on the wrong side of the Mauritian racing authorities for socialising with a bookmaker. With the jockeys detained, Weichong Marwing inherited Yeni’s July ride on Ten Gun Salute.

July Candice Robinson became the first lady trainer to win the July with Marinaresco, while Bernard Fayd’herbe added to the magic by winning in a pair of Pocket Power’s old silks. Sean Tarry won all three features on the 15 July Greyville card, smashing his record for wins in a season. A few days later, owner Roy Moodley won 5 races on the Greyville card.

It was another bad month for the Operators as Phumeza jumped from the wrong gate at Kenilworth, there were phantom starting stall – and false start siren – operators at the Vaal and trainers had trouble identifying horses, presenting incorrect runners in PE and Kimberley. Phumelela banned the SP from TAB outlets, the RA offered R50 million Phum shares to members at a discount and Captain Al died following complications from laminitis surgery. At the inaugural two-day Gold Cup festival, Brett Crawford saddled a Champions Cup exacta with Sail South and Captain America, Hermoso Mundo won the Gold Cup for Weiho and Weichong Marwing, while Royal

Badge didn’t see the end of the race.

Zimbabwe closed their TBA and former trainer Albie Going passed away.

August The Mauritian saga dragged on, CTS restructured its sales programme and Brian Finch resigned from the Phumelela board.

Dennis Drier’s Sommerlied set a new track record over Scottsville’s 1000m straight and David Nieuwenhuizen saddled the first four past the post at Turffontein on Sunday, 6 August. The Equus Awards crowned Anthony Delpech Champion Jockey for the third time and Lyle Hewitson was Champion Apprentice by a landslide. Sean Tarry was Champion Trainer for the third year in a row, Mayfair Speculators were Champion Owners for the 9th consecutive year, Klawervlei were champion Breeders and Silvano Champion sire. German authorities launched an investigation into Steinhoff and there was shock as Alec Forbes died suddenly of pneumonia.

September Dennis Drier celebrated his birthday with 5 winners at Scottsville on 17 September, the Grand Heritage was won by Gavin Lerena for the second year running, this time aboard Forest Fox for the Paul Peter yard and the international racing community mourned the passing of Penny Chenery. Gold Circle announced the introduction of barrier trials and with the refurb complete, racing returned to Durbanville on 23 September, with the day’s feature, the Settler’s Trophy, won

by Wesley Marwing on Bill Prestage’s Red Peril.

October October saw the destruction of Kenilworth’s blue gums. With the WC transport contract in administrative limbo, the traditionally wonderful Fillies Championship day was conducted

sans sponsor and was awful. At least the racing was good, with Tap O’Noth winning the Cape Classic and Snowdance the Fillies Championship.

The Met conditions changed to WFA and Roy Moodley’s Run Rhino Run caused an internet sensation with a runaway victory at Greyville. The Greyville gremlins were at it again when one runner’s starting gate did not open and the other was dispatched without a rider. The balance of the field didn’t respond to the false start signal and completed the race, but the result was declared null and void.

November November’s Charity Mile was won by Drakenstein Stud’s Argentinian import, Hat Puntano and his new bit, KZN’s first barrier trial was won by Alldressedup and there were handbags at dawn over Pietro Mascagni’s Merit Rating.

Lanzerac’s Ready To Run Stakes presented by CTS was won by Miss Katalin – with the Lanzerac hospitality tent placed squarely over the site of the former blue gums. EC Stipe Mike Jones retired, Summer Cup day rained out, causing a Tote meltdown. After a quiet start to the new season, Tarry won the rescheduled race the following day with Liege, quipping, ‘If you can’t be good all the time, be good at the right time!’ Caffeine positives had the NHA in a stew, Kenilworth Racing finally got round to concluding the transport contract with ‘new’ supplier, Suskia Trading and the local racing calendar was rearranged to suit France. The Jet Master Stakes were cancelled with no explanation and Robbie Fradd clocked 6 winners at the Gold Coast.

December There was wonderful racing, but pitiful attendance for the Cape Fillies Guineas won by Snowdance, while Snaith Racing saddled 5 winners on the day’s card. Denis Schwarz became the third apprentice to ride the Jackpot.

On the back of alleged accounting irregularities, Markus Jooste resigned from Steinhoff, Phumelela, Kenilworth Racing and CTS in short order and Cape feature hopes Legal Eagle, Edict Of Nantes and Deo Juvente were swiftly sold. Bernard Kantor replaced Peter Malugani as Chairman of Phumelela, Jallad died at Highlands and Tap O’Noth won the 2017 Cape Guineas for Vaughan Marshall. James Goodman handed in his license and Richard Fourie book-ended the year with 5 wins at Kenilworth.

What to make of it all My first (now ex) husband and I used to cycle to work together in London.

He would frequently change the route, making me wholly dependent on him navigating us from A to B. I eventually learnt that people who deliberately keep you in the dark, usually do so with ill intent. It was a hard lesson, but one that ultimately taught me to make healthier choices.

2017 seems to have been the year of ‘Men Behaving Badly’. We had the Van Vuuren saga, State Capture, the Trump Presidency and Harvey Weinstein, ‘catamaran-gate’ and the Mayfair implosion. However, we’ve also seen the power of positive action in #MeToo, Black Monday, Jacques Pauw and the fall of Mugabe and Zuma.

2017 – stick a fork in me, I’m done.

Here’s to healthier choices in 2018.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 29th - SUNDAY 31st DECEMBER 2017

A number of landmarks were achieved

by South African stallions and broodmares in 2017.

Silvano champion again!

Maine Chance Farms outstanding sire Silvano enjoyed another remarkable season in 2017. The former Arlington Million winner completely dominated the finish to the 2017 Gr1 Vodacom Durban July, with sons Marinaresco and Al Sahem running 1-2, and daughter Nightingale . Silvano daughters Nightingale and Star Express also ran 1-2 in the Gr1 Majorca Stakes in 2017. He would also go on to be responsible for the first three home in the 2017 Victress Stakes.

Silvano collected a second General Sires title when heading the local sires list for 2016-2017, with his runners collecting 13 black type features during 2016-2017.

Captain Al dies South Africa bid farewell to one of the country’s top stallions this year, with the passing of former champion sire, and eight times champion 2yo sire Captain Al earlier this year. The dominant sire of 2yo talent of his era, Captain Al left behind more than 80 stakes winners, headed by champions All Is Secret, Always In Charge, Captain’s Lover, Carry On Alice, Cloth Of Cloud and Captain Of All.

Captain Al was quickly missed, with daughter Snowdance and son Tap O’ Noth landing the 2017 Cape Fillies Guineas and Cape Guineas respectively-to give their sire a rare Cape classic double. It was also a second consecutive win in the Cape Guineas for Captain Al, whose son William Longsword had triumphed in 2016.

50th stakes winner for Dynasty Like Captain Al, Dynasty was another locally bred stallion to make it big at stud, and the four -time Equus Champion Sire was represented by his 50th stakes winner when his son Let It Rain, a half-brother to champion Soft Falling Rain, won the Listed Java Handicap in 2017.

Dynasty enjoyed major success in 2017 both in South Africa and Hong Kong, where his son Nassa lifted the Gr3 SA SA Ladies Purse.

Mystic Spring marches on Cheveley Stud’s remarkable broodmare Mystic Spring continued to make her presence felt during the year, with her champion daughter Bela-Bela landing both the Gr1 Paddock Stakes and Gr1

Garden Province Stakes in 2017.

Mystic Spring’s daughter Spring Lilac also got in on the Gr1 act, with her daughter Snowdance romping home in both the Gr2 Western Cape Fillies Championship and Gr1 WSB Cape Fillies Guineas. Mystic Spring is also the third dam of the 2017 CTS Ready To Run Sale topper, who was knocked down to Alesh Naidoo for R1 100 000.

F

rom just a handful of South African runners conceived while standing in Australia, Where’s That Tiger’s runners include high class stakes winners Tiger’s Touch, Tiger Quest and Supertube, as well Samurai Blade, third in both the Gr1 SA Classic and Gr1 SA Derby.

On Saturday, Temp The Tiger, one of the first runners from Where’s That Tiger’s first SA crop, made an eye catching

winning debut when downing some well bred two-year-olds over 1000 metres at Kenilworth.

The flashy grey colt, trained by Joey Ramsden, was always going well and sped clear in the final stages to post a half length win first time out for breeders Schalk and Claire Le Roux.

Temp The Tiger was a R60 000 buy from the 2017 March Yearling Sale.

His sire Where’s That Tiger was a smart racehorse who was

Fort Wood/Horse Chestnut broodmare success

First 2yo sires title for Var Prominent speed sire Var also made headlines during the year, when he headed the 2yo sires list for a first time last season. The son of Forest Wildcat had some high-class 2yo’s representing him during 2016-2017, headed by Golden Horseshoe winner Purple Diamond and Gold Medallion second Varallo.

With a plethora of well bred 2yo’s set to represent Var once again in 20172018, the Avontuur based stalwart could well play another prominent role in 2yo races during 2017-2018.

Jallad passes Captain Al was not the only champion sire lost to South Africa, with the pensioned Highlands stallion Jallad passing away in December. The son of Blushing Groom had topped the South African General Sires List in 2001-2002 and was a regular feature in the top ten on the sires list. His 16 Gr1 winners were headed by Horse Of The Year Free My Heart.

His influence was felt in 2017 when

Tiger In The Tank The Alchemy’s Where’s That Tiger, whose first South African crop are 2yo’s this season, made a flying start to his local stud career on Saturday.

Gold Challenge and Gr1 Queen’s Plate, Toreador had established himself as a prolific sire of winners, as well as sire of champion Link Man and dual Gr1 winner Bull Valley.

Toreador’s Gr1 son Misty Birnam has now had two starts in Ireland following a career in South Africa which saw him finish third in the 2016 Gr1 Premiers Champion Stakes.

second in both the UAE 2000 Guineas and Al Bastikiya in a brief racing career.

He is a son of champion sire Storm Cat and is bred on the same Storm Cat/Mr Prospector cross as successful sires Storm Boot and Tale Of The Cat. Where’s That Tiger’s dam Blissful is a full-sister to Kentucky Derby winner Fusiachi Pegasus, the sire of more than 70 stakes winners, including Gr1 winning sires Bandini, Champ Pegasus, Roman Ruler and Haradasun.

Fusaichi Pegasus is also sire of South African Broodmare Of The Year Our Table Mountain.This is also the family of top class sire Icecapade.

Silvano Liege won the G1 Sansui Summer Cup to record his first career Gr1 win.

KZN lose Toreador Bush Hill Stud unfortunately lost their popular and proven Gr1 sire Toreador, when the son of Danehill had to be euthanized early in December. Placed in both the Gr1

High Spirits Inspirational out-of-the-box thinking saw Koos and Lorraine De Klerk’s Yellow Star Stud host a Christmas Party Sale and Open Day last Thursday.

The novel concept offered 15 two year olds for sale by silent auction.

Buyers inspected the horses at leisure and submitted their written bid in a box. If a horse received more than one bid, the buyer with the highest total was the winner.

From 15 horses catalogued by Irish Flame, Crusade, Great Britain, Kildonan, The Assayer, Lion Tamer, Meteor Shower, Tropical Empire and Spectrum, nine were sold to KZN and Gauteng racing stables.

It was a relaxed day where visitors used the opportunity to drive around the farm at leisure and view the horses and facilities, which includes Ivan Van Wyk’s racing establishment which houses the likes of multiple winners Putchini and Panza.

BRED TO WIN!

The late champion sire Fort Wood continued his dominance of the South African broodmare sires list when topping the charts for 2016-2017.

Fort Wood , whose daughters were responsible for 12 stakes winners last season including Marinaresco and William Longsword, has now headed the broodmare sires log for the past three seasons running . He is currently second, behind Western Winter, on the same list for 2017-2018.

Interestingly enough, Fort Wood’s champion son Horse Chestnut also enjoyed notable broodmare success in 2017 - however it was overseas that Horse Chestnut mares shone this year.

Already damsire of local champion Smart Call (Ideal World), Horse Chestnut is damsire of 2017 Gr1 Northern Dancer Stakes winner Johnny Bear and the latter’s classic winning own brother Channel Maker (both by English Channel).

Channel Maker also ran second in the Gr1 Hollywood Derby.

Horse Chestnut was also damsire of the 2017 Gr1 First Lady Stakes winner Zipessa (who went on to contest the Breeders’ Cup Filly& Mare Turf) and graded winners Fault (Blame) and Dragon Bay (Parading).
