Top class 3yo Dutch Philip ran a cracker in the Cape Merchants

Gr2 KHAYA STABLES DIADEM STAKES at Kenilworth this Saturday

R

A terrific turn of foot and top local rider Richard Fourie could be key to Sean Tarry’s Trip To Heaven making it a double in Saturday’s R400 000 Khaya Stables Diadem Stakes. South Africa’s highest rated sprinter has a tendency to dawdle at the gates – which makes him a nerve wracking betting prospect.

un at weight-for-age plus penalties of 2kgs for a Gr1 and 1kg for a Gr2 success, the 1200m contest has a fine history of producing thrilling finishes over the past 43 years. A few of those running here will have the Gr1 Cape Flying Championship on Met day as their major target.

Repeat

The 6yo Trip To Heaven hasn’t been in the winner’s box since his facile win in the same race last year, beating Tevez and Search Party.

Both of those are back again but Trip To Heaven must rank as the one to beat again. He ran on well after being baulked behind Kangaroo Jack in his prep last month and will strip fit at his second outing after a break.

Local hero Sergeant Hardy has his own issues but stayed on beautifully to win the Southeaster Sprint at his last start. A master of the Kenilworth straight track, his undoing may well lie in Richard Fourie’s tactical acumen – and he knows this topclass sprinter well.

Post Merchants winner Search Party ran a cracker in the Gr1 Mercury Sprint behind KZN champ Bull Valley and will be fitter after running unplaced behind Silicone

Valley in the Merchants last time.

Headgear

Past Gr1 winner Always In Charge gets the blinkers after his good effort when running on powerfully for third in the Cape Merchants last time. He is very effective over the course and distance and Anton Marcus will get the best out of him.

Brutal Force is top-class on his day and showed a flicker of life last time when stopping late but hanging in for third in the Southeaster Sprint.

Talktothestars ran unplaced in this race last year and has not been his best of late.

The 2017 runner-up Tevez, now an 8yo, ran on well for fourth in the Merchants and is a high-class sprinter with aches and pains – but plenty of ability.

The 4yo Attenborough has not been far off at his last few starts and moved up dangerously in the Merchants before finishing just out of the money. His form suggests he be included as a value galloper.

Dutch Courage

Top 2yo of last term Dutch Philip sprouted wings in the Merchants when he burst out of the pack to be beaten just 0,75 lengths. He has a tough task and will have to hold Always In Charge.

Bishop’s Bounty has run two ordinary races on the trot since winning on the Greyville poly on July day. He stumbled when over 15 lengths behind Silicone Valley in the Cape Merchants.

Barrack Street has failed to capture any form in his two starts in the Cape this summer.

Third of the Tarry trio, Wonderwall ran a very fair fifth and only 2,35 lengths off the top-class Tap O’Noth in the Cape Guineas. His form over 1200m is very good and he could be the dark horse in the field.

Aussie Rules

Mike de Kock’s lightly raced Mujaafy ran an eyecatching race at his second Cape start when staying on well for a 1,15 length fourth behind Speedpoint in the Need For Speed Sprint. The son of Star Witness goes the extra 200m here and could challenge – although lacking the experience as he has only his fifth start.

Lord Balmoral was well beaten in the Southeaster Sprint and the Vaughan Marshall yard have been fairly quiet in these last few weeks.

Joey Ramsden’s smart 5yo Macduff has had three prep runs this term and has improved with each outing. The experiment to turn him into a ‘stayer’ last summer didn’t really work and his sprint form is above average.

Rock Of Africa ran on well behind Sergeant Hardy in the Southeaster Sprint but needs to deal with a 9kg leveller. He looks to have it all to do.

Class

So a tricky contest, but Trip To Heaven is the class- if he gets away half on terms, he should win this.

Always In Charge is a good sort and he improved nicely last time. He gets the blinkers and Anton Marcus is an added plus. Search Party will improve in his last run, while Attenborough looked dangerous late and improved fitness can see him fulfilling his early potential. Dutch Philip finished the Merchants with resolve. It won’t be easy but he is a very good 3yo.

Speed & Class This feature was originally called the WFA Diadem Plate and then changed to the Southern Cross Plate and ultimately the Southern Cross Stakes. It appears that in 1974 the two races split properly and there was both a Southern Cross Plate - won by the outstanding Mrs Noah - and a Diadem.

The Diadem Stakes has gone on to be become a highlight of the Cape summer season since it was won by Royal Affair’s son Lancaster in 1974.

Racing for a stake of R5 125 the gallant little speedball was cleverly ridden by present day trainer Paddy Kruyer, to beat Sword Dancer and Mangosteen, with the late Allan Higgins’ Harlech in fourth. The Drum Beat gelding Bolero streaked away into a long lead and must have been eight lengths clear at one time. This very fast horse did not really get the Kenilworth 1200m though and Lancaster came forward under Kruyer at the 300m and stayed on strongly to win a cracker. Lancaster was owned by Mr F. Maeder and trained by Alec Soteriadis. The win completed a hat trick in features races in the Cape for the breeders Knavesmire Stud.

Fast forward to the 21st century and a standout is the Charles Laird trained Nhlavini. The brilliant sprinter won it in 2001 and 2002, was second in 2004 and won it again in 2005. Fast emerging sire and past Equus champion sprinter What A Winter won the race in 2011 and 2012. Top names like Captain Al, Flobayou, Cordocelli, Flaming Rock, Wainui and Over The Air grace the Diadem roll of honour over the years.

The now defunct Western Province Owners and Trainers Association were longstanding sponsors of the race but they fell by the wayside in 2012. Today top international owners Khaya Stables carry the flag.

SPORTING POST • FriDAY 12th - SUNDAY 14th JANUARY 2018 Sand And Sea can make amends for his below-par run last time

Sophomore sprint (L) at Kenilworth this Saturday

Ebb And Flow

T

A high quality field of 3yo’s will line up for the Diadem Stakes support feature at Kenilworth on Saturday. The boom 2yo Sand And Sea gets a golden opportunity to redeem his dented ego after a disappointing effort at odds-on last time.

he race is run at a base weight of 52kgs for maidens and one-time winners, with a sex allowance of 2,5kgs for fillies. Each additional win attracts a penalty of 2kgs, with 4kgs for a Gr1, 3kgs for a Gr2, 2kgs for a Gr3 and 1kg for a Listed win.

Sand And Sea carries joint topweight with the accomplished and more experienced Al Mariachi and the son of Twice Over is much better than his last run when beaten 4,75 lengths by Power Grid.

He was backed into the red and fitness – which was a concern after six months off – did not appear to worry anybody. He made a respiratory noise in running and ran accordingly. We’d bank on Dennis Drier having him back to best to make amends.

Bold Respect had very smart sprint form before blotting his copybook in the Cape Guineas where he appeared not to stay the mile. Back over a distance he loves, he is a serious contender and gets 4kgs from the topweights.

His stablemate Al Mariachi was outgunned in the Cape Merchants but then showed up well when running

on smartly for a close-up third behind Speedpoint in the Need For Speed Sprint.

It is something of a surprise to see Sir Frenchie back over the 1200m as the son of Choisir looked to be improving when tried round the turn. His Guineas run though was not impressive and he has shown credentials over the sprints.

Mike de Kock’s exciting Sir David Baird went helter skelter in the Cape Guineas and fell in a hole. He has won over 1200m and may be worth including in this line-up.

Big Mistake beat impressive Saturday winner Phelan Lucky over the course and distance last time and must be in with a chance.

The same applies to the smart Elusive Heart who won well in her follow-up after being outpointed behind Snowdance in the Cape Fillies Guineas. This courseand-distance winner is an interesting lurker from an inside draw in the hands of Richard Fourie.

Bold Respect, Sand And Sea and Al Mariachi are the trio most likely to thrash this out. One would believe that a fitter and healthier Sand And Sea must go close to winning.

The Wicklow Stud-bred flyer Winter’s Forge takes on a capacity field in the R150 000 Listed Swallow Stakes at Turffontein on Saturday where she bids to register a first stakes success.

daughter of Western Winter, the R700 000 National Yearling Sale graduate has shown nothing but dazzling speed at her first two starts and her length second to Green Plains in the SA Fillies Nursery at her last start is encouraging. That said, she returns from a 36 week break and Green Plains, who beat her a length last time, has not really gone on with things.

This race is structured on a base weight of 52kgs for one time winners and maidens, with a 2kgs penalty for each additional win up to, but not exceeding 56 kgs. Winners of Gr1 races get 4kgs for each such win, with Gr2 winners getting 3kgs, Gr3 winners just 2kgs and a kilo for Listed winners. The field is packed with speed – some of it unexposed and an upset is on the cards.

The promising Visionaire filly Takingthepeace is the first of the Mike de Kock trio and has her first run in ten weeks since a cracking third behind Big Bear in the Emperors Palace Ready To Run Cup. A course and distance winner, she looks a big runner here.

Mike Azzie’s well-tried Spring Breeze failed to stay the 1400m of the Starling Stakes but her sprint form prior to that was decent. She needs to show a little more commitment at the business end to challenge here, La Bella Mia’s recent form is not up to her best of earlier. She has plenty of pace and enjoys the course and distance and could bounce back.

London Secret comes in off a 28 week break since her unplaced effort in the Golden Slipper.

This is her first run as a 3yo and she showed herself to be a nifty 2yo – with little between her and Takingthepeace.

Impressive debut winner San Fermin failed to lift her game in the Fillies Mile when finishing 10 lengths off Folk Dance at her second start. She can atone for that here but it is a worry that she made her debut over 1400m – and may lack the

requisite pace.

Piere Strydom partners three-time winner Winter Watch. The daughter of Ashaawes has a big task but has a proven touch of class.

Green Top ran a better race last time after a quiet patch when staying on behind Red Ridge in a weak fillies handicap.

Candice Dawson’s Varsity Girl won a nice race beating Frederico’s Dream over the course and distance last time out. She is a kilo worse off for a 0,70 length win and will need to up her game again.

The Crusade filly Covered In Snow followed up on her maiden win at her second start when she beat Onamission going away over the course and distance last time out. This is only her fourth start but she could be equal to the task.

Frederico’s Dream gets the blinkers fitted and ran a good race over the course and distance last time when beaten narrowly by Varsity Star.

Ex PE filly Singing In Seattle has done well in her two Gauteng starts – winning a low rated handicap and then not disgraced when stepping up in class. She comes in on joint topweight and this could be much tougher.

Varsfontein’s beautifully bred debut winner Tamarina is difficult to gauge but won going away on an unfancied debut and could be anything.

Onamission has won twice over 1200m and this lot may be a bit quick for her over the shorter trip.

No More Words has good consistent form from her five starts and is another dangerous ‘quickie’ who could have a say in the finish.

Mike de Kock’s Australian-bred Jazaalah is yet to run a poor race and ran on for second behind Levi Lady a fortnight ago. She strips fit and improvement could see her playing a role.

A tough race. If Takingthepeace is fit, she could be good enough – but it’s going to be over quickly and there are a host of likely challengers. San Fermin may be worth including after that runaway maiden win too!

Anton Marcus keeps Legal Eagle going to ward off Copper Force (rail) and Captain America ahead of Sail South and Marinaresco

Gr1 L'ORMARINS QUEEN'S PLATE Kenilworth last Saturday

O

The outstanding Sean Tarry-trained champion Legal Eagle brought the house down at a sunny Kenilworth on Saturday when clinching an emotionally charged historic third consecutive victory, and his most dramatic yet, in the R1,5 million Gr1 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate.

blivious to the politics and turmoil surrounding his former owners, the dual SA Horse Of The Year showed again what a true champion miler he is, when digging deep into his reserves, to achieve what must be the greatest win of his career.

Now unbeaten in 8 starts at a mile, Legal Eagle showed steely character in the hands of the cucumber cool Anton Marcus to take his earnings to close on R11 million – and vindicate the confidence of the big spending Braam van Huyssteen, who bought into him

with partners William Henderson and Hedley McGrath just weeks earlier.

There were some that suggested that buying into a well-established champion was something of a hollow road to glory. But the larger-than-life takkie tycoon from George reached a goal achieved by only a handful of owners – and celebrated his first Gr1 victory, and an unlikely plan come together, amidst a festive blue and white sea of beautiful people on South Africa’s most elegant raceday.

Fresh off his Green Point Stakes win five weeks earlier, Legal Eagle looked a million dollars and has filled out even further into his 6yo season. Trainer

Gr1 PADDOCK STAKES Kenilworth last Saturday

Sean Tarry confirmed afterwards that his prep had gone scarily well.

Jumping smartly, Legal Eagle was allowed to settle in third as the giantstriding Captain America led the way from It Is Written.

Into the home run, Captain America appeared to quietly snatch a length as Marcus tracked him five lengths in arrears, with Legal Eagle continuing to gallop powerfully.

The warning light came on at the 250m marker but Legal Eagle answered the call and he rallied as Marcus showed him the whip and he hauled Captain America in – but with challenges flying through from all sides.

At the line he had 0,40 lengths to spare over a flying Copper Force, with the gallant Captain America plugging on for third, ahead of a flying Sail South. Marinaresco ran a cracking Met prep finishing fifth.

Jockey Anton Marcus, winning his seventh L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate after his first 25 years ago, was emotional in the post-race interview.

“Thanks to Gaynor Rupert and

CANDIESE MARNEWICK

and trainer of a magnificent ‘’horse-ina-million’.

“We screamed till the house shook.

It’s hard to breed a horse like this, I’m getting old now and I will be lucky to breed another like him,” she said with a broad smile.

Legal Eagle, who has won 12 races with 7 places from 21 starts for stakes of an extraordinary bank of R10 648 875, was bought by Sean Tarry on behalf of former leading owner Markus Jooste for R425 000 at the 2013 BSA National Yearling Sale.

Bred by Avontuur, he is a son of Vodacom Durban July winner Greys Inn (Zabeel) and is out of the six-time winning Young Sensation (National Emblem)- who was also trained by Sean Tarry..

So history was made as only the second horse to win the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate three years running – Pocket Power being the king of the Queens with four straight wins.

Now the Sun Met for Legal Eagle?

This was a tough race and that’s 400m further. Time for reflection!

Youth Lead The Way

her team on a wonderful festival. I anticipated that Captain America would stretch us – I also expected that the Snaith team would want a good pace.

It’s a fine line with Captain America – you can’t move too late or too early!

But I was sitting on a very special horse.

A great job done by Sean Tarry and his team,” said the top jockey.

An emotional trainer Sean Tarry said that it was probably the least pressured Queen’s Plate yet – ‘as everything went so smoothly’.

A dapper looking part-owner Braam van Huyssteen thanked family members Bianca and Lara and also said a thank-you to Mayfair Speculators, Derek Brugman and Markus Jooste.

“I believe Sean Tarry is the best trainer in the country. Anton Marcus never panicked – a master jockey, he timed it well. And to L’Ormarins, thanks so much for a great weekend of racing,” he said.

Breeder Pippa Mickleburgh said that the win was another great moment for the Avontuur team and the owners

The younger generation dominated the running of the prestigious R1 million Cartier Gr1 Paddock Stakes at Kenilworth on Saturday with Justin Snaith and Grant van Niekerk producing the magic for Gaynor Rupert’s Drakenstein Stud.

he only trio of 3yo fillies in an illustrious line-up dominated the finish, with a dream plan come together for the featurehungry Snaiths and their esteemed clients.

While Mike de Kock’s magnificent chestnut mare Nother Russia grabbed punter’s attention at the top of the betting boards, Justin Snaith was bullish about his trio – and it was his Street Cry daughter Oh Susanna who showed her promising ability with an eyecatching win.

“She has had no luck from the draws – go watch the replays of her last two starts and see for yourself,” said a typically upbeat Justin Snaith in the preliminaries.

And the former SA Champion trainer’s assessment proved spot on.

Grant Van Niekerk had the Cape Fillies Guineas bridesmaid in a more prominent position than usual and the pair tracked Goodtime Gal and Star Express into the home straight.

Van Niekerk, who is riding with vastly improved confidence after a mostly forgettable year of ups and downs in 2017, was quick to send his mount into the lead at the 350m.

The move proved decisive and grabbed important ground on his rivals – and it was left to Dennis Drier’s Gr1 winner Lady In Black to chase them home, just 1,50 lengths in arrears.

The winner clocked 111,46 secs for the 1800m.

Piere Strydom produced Joey Ramsden’s Fresnaye with a flying late effort to nudge the fancied Gauteng challenger Nother Russia out of the Place Accumulator. The top three confirmed the Cape Guineas form as they had shared the classic quartet in December with the brilliant Snowdance – and the 3yo fairer sex crop may be better than thought at first!

“I thought I may have sent her a bit early. I let her use her action today. She quickened and I was just a passenger.

She is close to my heart. I ride her every day – we are both a bit crazy.

My day is now made and thanks again to the Snaith Racing Team,” said an elated Grant van Niekerk.

Justin Snaith reaffirmed the fact that his star had a good draw ‘for a change’.

“She overraced so it was a win full of merit. What a fantastic pedigree – and now what a valuable filly. Grant has a quirk but horses run for him. He is a

great young rider and thanks again to Gaynor Rupert and her team for the support and the wonderful two days of racing,” added Snaith.

Owner and breeder, Drakenstein Stud’s Gaynor Rupert got ‘stuck on the side of the highway’ on her way to races and said that she knew that was ‘the last of my bad luck for the day’.

Van Niekerk has become a Drakenstein favourite and the young rider heard words that any jockey would pay money for: “I told Grant I may adopt him. He is such a wonderful jockey,” said the top owner.

Oh Susanna has won 2 races with 3 places from 7 starts and stakes of R923 375.

She was bred by Drakenstein and is

by Street Cry out of the valuable USA six-time winner Sharp Susan (Touch Gold), who was purchased for A$1 million in foal to Street Cry in 2012.

She is in foal to Galileo and will foal down in late February.

The winner’s sire, Darley stallion Street Cry (IRE), whose progeny included Zenyatta and classic winner Street Sense, was euthanized in 2014 after succumbing to complications relating to a neurological condition. The son of Machiavellian was bred by Sheikh Mohammed in Ireland and excelled at the very highest level on the racecourse, winning the Gr1 Dubai World Cup and at Gr1 level in the USA. He stood at Darley Jonabell near Lexington and shuttled to Australia. He has sired over 20 Gr1 winners worldwide.

Aldo Domeyer has time to order a drink as Magical Wonderland coasts home

Anthony Andrews keeps Eyes Wide Open going to beat Anthony Delpech and The Slade

Gr2 SCEPTRE STAKES Kenilworth last Friday

T

The Candice Bass-Robinson team enjoyed a red-letter afternoon, amidst a wave of blue and white, on the opening day of the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Festival Of Racing at Kenilworth – with their star What A Winter filly Magical Wonderland rounding off a cracking feature race double.

he Milnerton family operation, launched 42 long years ago by the legendary Mike Bass, may have felt that they had hit a quiet patch in the early days of 2018.

But that perception changed in the space of just over an hour when they scooped the last three races on the rare Cape ‘blue’ Friday of racing – including a first Gr2 score for stallion What A Winter in the R400 000 Cartier Sceptre Stakes.

And the return to the sprints of What A Winter’s smashing daughter Magical Wonderland was probably the performance of the day – along with the deceptively progressive Var colt Talk Of The Town who added plenty of ‘variety’ – pardon the pun – to a superb afternoon.

After being hammered by boom 3yo Snowdance in the Cape Fillies Guineas last month, it made sense for a back to basic manoeuvre for Magical Wonderland, last season’s Cape Racing’s Juvenile Filly of The Year.

Freshened up and reverting to her favourite track and trip, Aldo Domeyer had the beautiful filly – racing for the first time in the Bryn Ressell silks – well off the gallop set by Green Plains and Shufoog.

The race appeared wide open at just under the halfway marker. But looking as if she had sprouted wings, Magical Wonderland scythed between runners at the 300m pole.

She put her ears back and under a hands ride – with Aldo Domeyer glancing around – she bounded clear to score a facile geareddown two length success in a time of 71,95 secs.

German rider Martin Seidl produced the Joey Ramsden longshot Rose In Bloom out of the pack on the outside for second and just over a length in front of the Kotzen’s Princess Peach, who came on late for third in a welcome form return.

Justin Snaith rounded off a healthy quartet with the 25-1 Angel’s Trumpet running an eyecatching race in fourth.

Last year’s smart winner Live Life, a stablemate to the winner, failed to kick when it counted and ran a 4,65 length sixth.

The fancied Just Sensual also didn’t produce her characteristic turn of foot to run a disappointing ninth. She looks better around the turn and may have got a touch ‘lucky’ when running fresh to capture the Southern Cross Stakes over the 1000m last time.

Magical Wonderland’s win was a peak success to date for Drakenstein stallion What A Winter, officially South Africa’s Leading First Crop Sire for 2016-2017.

The triple Equus Champion, a four-time Gr1 winner, was trained by Mike Bass in his racing days and Magical Wonderland’s success must be regarded an emotional milestone all round for the Bass family.

A R450 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale graduate, Magical Wonderland has won 5 races with 1 place from 7 starts for stakes of R667 500. She was recently purchased by her original partners Marsh Shirtliff and Bryn Ressell out of the Mayfair Speculators dissolution of racing interests.

Bred by Maine Chance Farms, the winner is out of the unraced Magical Miss (Al Mufti).

She looks an exciting sprint prospect and is likely to line up in mixed company in the US$500 000 CTS 1200 on Sun Met day.

Gr2 PENINSULA HANDICAP Kenilworth last Saturday

Eyes On Met

E

Highlands’ super stallion Dynasty registered a smart feature double on L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate day when 3yo Eyes Wide Open played himself into Sun Met contention with an impressive victory in the R400 000 Glorious Goodwood Gr2 Peninsula Handicap.

arlier Dynasty’s son Our Emperor won the Gr3 Chairman’s Cup and Eyes Wide Open rounded a great feature double here.

The only 3yo in a fifteen strong field of seasoned hardknockers, last season’s Gr1 Premier’s Champion Stakes winner Eyes Wide Open benefitted from a great ride by the underrated Anthony Andrews and put his Sun Met hand up – at the same time putting three ordinary runs this season well behind him.

Trainer Glen Kotzen explained the rationale behind a last minute decision to supplement the lightly-raced galloper into the Gr2 Peninsula Handicap.

“I am blessed with some really lovely 3yo’s and I wasn’t keen to have them all bump each other in the Derby. So I chatted to Hugo (Hattingh) and we thought we’d take on the older horses and see where we stand with them, before making any decisions. If he pulls up sound, I think we may go the Met route after this,” he explained.

Eyes Wide Open had missed the Cape Guineas with a respiratory ailment and the Woodhill Racing trainer paid tribute to his leading owner for his patience. “It always pays you back in the end,” he quipped.

As to why Anthony Andrews had gotten the ride ahead of the winner’s owners Chrigor Stud sponsored Richard Fourie, who rode

Ollivander, the explanation was a simple one.

“Eyes Wide Open was supplemented.

Richard (Fourie) had already accepted on Ollivander. So Anthony (Andrews) was available and he rides work here and is an upand-coming rider. It worked out well,” added Kotzen.

Andrews had Eyes Wide Open five lengths off the pacesetting Milton in sixth and kept his head in the straight as inexperience saw his mount lug inwards under pressure. With Dean Kannemeyer’s The Slade breathing down his neck, Eyes Wide Open always had the upper hand and went on well to score by 0,75 lengths in a time of 110,11 secs.

The Slade, an improving son of Philanthropist, is not entered for the Met, but maintained his good form, ahead of Platinum Prince in third.

Closest of the Sun Met hopefuls behind Eyes Wide Open was Horizon, who plodded into fourth 4,25 lengths off the winner – and a length ahead of Krambambuli.

The Highlands bred Eyes Wide Open is a son of Dynasty (Fort Wood) out of the one time winning Live Your Dreams (Jallad).

An R850 000 BSA KZN Sibaya Yearling Sale graduate, Eyes Wide Open has won 3 races with 1 place from 7 starts and took his stakes tally to R783 375.

Whisky Baron won this race last year before going on to win the Sun Met.

Gr3 CHAIRMAN'S CUP Kenilworth last Saturday

Smart New Clothes

T

The improving Dynasty gelding Our Emperor made full use of his handy galloping weight and a judicious ride by Greg Cheyne to land the spoils off a muddling pace in the R250 000 Gr3 Chairman’s Cup at Kenilworth.

he small and rather shallow field bore testimony to the less than enthusiastic approach to the stamina game in our racing culture, but the 3200m race – a crowd pleaser as they pass the stands twice – produced a thrilling finish, nevertheless.

With Gauteng visitor Let It

Rain dictating a stroll early in the race, Grant van Niekerk gradually edged closer on Master’s Eye, who was some 15 lengths off the leader as they went into the 2400m marker.

Van Niekerk built his mount up gradually and launched his assault at the 800m around his field.

The move – while his only choice – probably cost him the race, though, as there was little in it at the end.

With Master’s Eye rallying strongly in the straight, Greg Cheyne produced Our Emperor at the 300m, switching the gelding to the outside of the Snaith runner.

The two went head and head to the wire – and were so close together, neither jockey dared pull a whip.

At the line, a confident Cheyne got Our Emperor’s nose down where it counted, to win rather cosily by a head in a time of 212,61 secs.

Captain Splendid stayed on without threatening in third a further 2,25 lengths back, with Let It Rain tiring to hang on to fourth.

The winner was bred by

Wilgerbosdrift & Mauritzfontein and is a son of Dynasty (Fort Wood) out of the four-time winner, Express Queen (Jet Master).

A R475 000 BSA Val De Vie Yearling Sale graduate, Our Emperor has won 4 races - this was his first stakes success - with 3 places from 10 starts and stakes of R387 325.

Our Emperor had things his own way here, but he looks to have plenty of scope to improve and the Brett Crawford runner could well be back for the 2800m Gr2 on Sun Met day.

Grant van Niekerk has Doublemint well clear of his field

Anthony Delpech keeps Cascapedia focussed as she goes on to a smart win

Gr3 LONDON NEWS STAKES Turffontein last Sunday

Gr3 POLITICIAN STAKES Kenilworth last Saturday

T

Loyal supporters of Cape racing, Alec and the Honourable Gillian Foster have enjoyed one of their greatest summers in over thirty years of racing in this country.

They could well have an Investec Cape Derby back-up on their hands after Doublemint’s impressive R250 000 Gr3 Politician Stakes score at Kenilworth on Saturday.

he Fosters own the current toprated Derby entry and Cape Guineas winner Tap O’Noth and thus hold a potentially strong hand for the classic on Sun Met day.

And they are in very good company! The Grant van Niekerk and Justin Snaith partnership gained further impetus with a hat-trick of victories between them on Saturday – and five overall over the two days of the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Festival Of Racing – with a big win for the Foster’s flashy chestnut Doublemint.

A two-time winner, with a victory over the boom 3yo Talk Of The Town to his credit, Doublemint was not expected to be quite ready to win a Gr3 at his first try at 1800m.

But the race panned out perfectly, with the son of Twice Over relaxed in third and tracking The Sun Also Rises and Run Red. Van Niekerk gave Doublemint the sign at the 350m marker and he strode on past the pacesetter like a smart horse to hold The Sun Also Rises – who found a second breath late – to a 1,50 length win in a time

of 111,73 secs.

Steel Rose ran a gutsy, albeit well beaten, third a further two lengths back.

Trainer Justin Snaith labelled Doublemint an ‘arrogant type of horse who doesn’t enjoy getting beaten.’ He admitted modestly that there was no real plan and the race had just come up. He may now be thinking about further options for the handsome chestnut.

Doublemint, who has won 3 races with 3 places from 7 starts for stakes of R289 000, was bred by Alec Foster from Klawervlei sire, Twice Over (Observatory) and is out of the onetime winner Nepeta (Tale Of The Cat).

An outstanding racehorse and European champion, Twice Over produced Gr1 winner Sand And Sea from his first crop and his progeny have been in demand in the sales ring. His yearlings made up to R2,1 million at the 2017 Cape Premier Yearling Sale, and his 12 lots at the sale this month will attract plenty of interest.

On the racetrack, Twice Over won 12 races, with his victories including four Gr1 contests.

A dual winner of the G1 Champion Stakes, he banked more than £2 million.

T

Mike de Kock’s very progressive Irish-bred Cascapedia won Sunday’s R250 000 Gr3 London News Stakes at Turffontein and booked herself a supplementary entry into the R5 million Sun Met to be run on 27 January.

he 4yo, who is six months behind most of her rivals as she is Northern Hemisphere bred, produced an outstanding performance in a decent quality field that included 2016 SA Triple Crown star, Abashiri. The latter coincidentally has been scratched from the Met. Relaxed early as The Elmo Effect, Amsterdam and Girl On The Run showed the way, Cascapedia was going so well early in the home straight that Anthony Delpech had little choice but to send her for home.

She picked it up, lengthened her stride and drew off to beat the late finishing Abashiri by 1,40 lengths in a time of 111,20 secs.

This rounded off a great feature double for Delpech.

Coral Fever, as consistent as ever, kept on late to follow up on his Summer Cup third placing with yet another place cheque.

Both winning trainer and jockey expressed their satisfaction with a top-class display and the Sun Met could well be where Cascapedia lines up next.

A €170 000 Goffs Orby Yearling Sale purchase by Form Bloodstock, Cascapedia has won 5 of her 6 starts for 1 place and stakes of R461 850.

A daughter of High Chaparral (Sadler’s Wells), Cascapedia was bred by Tipperary based Camas Park Stud and is out of the unraced Dansili mare Janoubi. The latter is a half-sister to dams and grandams of graded stakes performers in the UK & France and hails from the female line of champion Al Bahathri.

Grass Cuts Them Down

A Bit Of Alright

The Australian-bred Leaves Of Grass took full advantage of her favourable draw and handy weight to register a welcome first stakes success with a last gasp victory in the R150 000 Listed Jamaica Handicap at Kenilworth on Friday.

The Highlands-sponsored Greg Cheyne is not the world’s most vigorously animated rider at the best of times, and time stood near still as he displayed a cool head – and some fine judgement – on the Kieswetter family and Ridgemont Racing-owned filly. The 4yo skipped up the outside of the track to make ground and register an impressive victory over a distance probably short of her best.

A solid pace was set by the strong-galloping Alado mare Adorada for much of the race as Leaves Of Grass relaxed five lengths off the pace from her nice draw on the rail. Into the home run Adorado faded out as Cheyne switched Leaves Of Grass to the centre of the track for a clear run.

With Baroness Mary threatening as a likely winner late, Leaves Of Grass finished best of all to win by a neck in a time of 124,59 secs.

Trainer Candice Bass-Robinson, who enjoyed a good day at the office, said that Leaves Of Grass had strengthened up nicely. “This was her target. She should get 2400m and will definitely go to KZN for the season. She will make a nice broodmare when her chance comes,” she added.

A winner of 3 races with 7 places from 13 starts, Leaves Of Grass has earned R303 150.

She looks a bargain buy by Paul Lafferty off the Gold Front Thoroughbreds draft for A$15 000 off the 2015 Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale.

Trainer Paul Peter looks to have a potential SA Triple Crown prospect on his hands after the Mambo In Seattle colt Majestic Mambo doddled in to register his first stakes success and maintain his unbeaten record in Sunday’s R150 000 Listed Sea Cottage Stakes.

Registering his third win from three starts over 1800m, Majestic Mambo was dropped out to last

by Anthony Delpech from a wide draw in Sunday’s feature and simply cut his opposition down to win going away by 2,25 lengths in a time of 111,84 secs.

They were flattered by the winning margin as Majestic Mambo ran very green and could have trebled the gap between himself and the rest.

Trainer Paul Peter said he couldn’t understand how big trainers like Mike de Kock ever slept. “This was a test for him. I haven’t slept for a week! I’d like to thank Mr Ormond Ferraris who has been a massive help to me,” he added.

Anthony Delpech, who has ridden plenty of good horses, said that Majestic Mambo was the kind of horse any trainer or jockey dreams of being associated with.

Majestic Mambo is unbeaten in three starts and took his earnings to R218 750.

He was unsold off the 2016 Cape Premier Yearling Sale, but subsequently acquired by Paul Peter for R40 000 off the Lanzerac Ready To Run Sale. He races for the Peter family’s Hyperpaint Syndicate.

Bred by Moutonshoek, Majestic Mambo is a son of Mambo In Seattle (Kingmambo) out of the onetime winning Regal Classic (Al Mufti). The dam won at 2400m. He is bred on the same cross as graded stakes winners Desert Rhythm and Fortune Fella. as well as Listed Michaelmas Handicap winner Mr O’Neill.

Eagle Eye On The Met

L

The R5 million Gr1 Sun Met will be run for the first time at pure weight-for-age on 27 January.

This effectively levels the playing field and gives L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate star Legal Eagle his best chance ever to drop his Met bridesmaid tag and show the world that his current 4-1 is plain good value.

egal Eagle won the Queen’s Plate in cavalier fashion. They were coming at him from all sides and he beat an unknown longshot by a narrow margin. But he won the race and the extra 400m of the Sun Met will be a very different race.

Justin Snaith’s use of Queen’s Plate pacemaker It Is Written may well have cost Captain America a bigger cheque in the prestigious mile. Brett Crawford’s trojan was forced to use a lot more energy than he ordinarily would have to stay in touch and found himself short on juice in the final 200m. It was a terrific effort to stay on as he did for third and he cannot be underestimated on Met day.

Marinaresco is another who lifted his Met hand. He had a few excuses in running on Saturday and was finishing his race well to end right on top of them. Does anybody really believe they can beat the likes of Legal Eagle or Marinaresco with a horse rated 10 or 15 points inferior?

But if you don’t have a ticket, you don’t have a chance and two smashing fillies, who individually produced breathtaking performances over the past weekend, were the only supplementary entries received at the last chance saloon cut-off at 11h00 on Monday. There are now seven fairer sex gallopers in the final entries list.

Justin Snaith’s Gr1 Paddock Stakes winner Oh Susanna and the Mike de Kock-trained Gr3 London News Stakes winner Cascapedia join the 28 hopefuls for a final spot amongst the 20 berths up for grabs in the Cape flagship.

Final declarations are due at 11h00 on Monday 15 January.

‘Don’t Back Her - Yet’ After Saturday’s glorious Gr1 Paddock Stakes win by Drakenstein’s Street Cry filly Oh Susanna, a word of caution followed her Met supplementation.

Jono Snaith told Michael Clower : “At this stage she is an intended runner but ante-post punters should be cautious. We would suggest they do not back her until she has been confirmed a definite runner. Drakenstein has still to make a final decision and this will be based on an assessment of the weights.

“But she has come out of Saturday’s race amazingly well. She was on the beach this morning (Tuesday) and she looked superb. We are very happy with her.”

Justin Snaith added that the filly’s draw, which will not be known until Thursday of next week, could also have a significant bearing on the decision.

Big Money At Stake In Dubai The Brett Crawford-trained Gr1 Sun Met winner Whisky Baron is amongst the thirteen South African horses accepted for the 2018 Dubai World Cup Carnival, which gets underway at Meydan Racecourse this Thursday.

The major influence from South Africa on the Carnival will, as often is the case, come from the yard of Mike de Kock. His twelve strong string includes 2017 Gr1 South African Derby winner Al Sahem, Gr1 winning warrior Sanshaawes and Gr1 winning 2017 Gr2 Zabeel Mile runner-up Noah From Goa. De Kock is an institution in Dubai, having achieved enormous success in the 21st century, while Crawford will be breaking new ground.

The full list features 132 accepted horses with the intention to ship from 15 countries, including 14 Gr1 winners from many points across the globe.

Several international stars are set to travel to Dubai this winter to compete for a share of the US$10,870,000 prize money across 10 race cards, 61 Thoroughbred races and 4 Group Purebred Arabian races held prior to the Dubai World Cup card on March 31, 2018.

L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate 2018

I

was really looking forward to seeing what the second Friday Garden Party would be like, particularly as most of the garden is no longer and of course, this year came with the added expectation of history in the making with Legal Eagle tilting for his third silver platter in a row. And that’s just the main race. With plenty of my favourites all across the card, visitors from all across the country and the world, just the prospect of being on course was already enough to get me to Kenilworth early.

Garden Party Friday As always, smiling car park attendants waved me through onto the infield parking – something that always gives a frisson of excitement for some reason – the sun was out and as always the course was beautifully dressed. The South Easter from the last two years stayed away, so the day was warm, but there were plenty of picnic umbrellas, marquees and hospitality tents to dive into to escape the sun. It did mean people were divided into pockets, rather than mingling and picnicking as they did last time round, but as the LQP organisers reprise and refresh the layout year on year, it’s always interesting to try something different.

There were plenty of folks who had gone to town for the Best Dressed competition and equally many sporting beautiful hats and fascinators.

It was even more interesting to find that most of the prettiest ones were created by Yanti Geroudis and anyone looking for gorgeous, custom made millinery should definitely give her a call.

Star-gazing Friday’s racing was good with Master Of My Fate getting out of the starting blocks in race 1 with his first runner for the Joey Ramsden yard (who saddled the first two past the post) and the first few races dished up a series of tight finishes.

Unbelievable Chad finished in the money in race 5 and owner Chad le Clos and his father Bert were on course to support their horse and were wonderfully gracious in chatting to fans and posing for photos.

Possibly my favourite moment of the day was stepping out of the BSA stand in the middle of one of the early races. There was a big screen just outside, so I stopped to watch the finish, rather absent-mindedly paying little regard to the adjacent picnic table of revellers. I was mortified to be politely shoed out of the way by one of the gentlemen at the table and then enchanted by the fact that they were actually seriously engrossed in the outcome of the race. How marvellous!

And while there were a fair few ‘day trippers’, it was lovely to bump into some favourites from the breeding and ownership ranks and we spent a lively afternoon squabbling over the betting, catching up on news and generally setting the world to rights.

Candice Robinson claimed the first feature scalps of the festival with Leaves Of Grass in the Listed Ardmore Jamaica Handicap and Magical Wonderland confirmed her earlier credentials as being

L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate weekend is always one of the highlights of the year, so 5 and 6 January 2018 had been blocked off in my diary months in advance. Well, kind of. With Christmas and New Year, inconvenient public holidays messing things around and all the stresses and dramas that the festive season brings, December, January and February have really been reduced to a chaotic blur as one stops knowing what day of the week it is or which way is up.

So the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate is a tiny, shimmering oasis in the middle of it, serving as the last brief hiatus at the top of the rollercoaster before rushing headlong into the rest of the year. Perhaps it’s this sense of a sort of second Christmas that makes it such a favourite.

something really special in the Gr2 Cartier Sceptre Stakes. Candice Robinson and Anthony Andrews book-ended the card with Ballad Of The Sea in the last and just like that the first day had flown by.

The main event Day two required a somewhat earlier start and proceedings kicked off promptly with the Work Riders’ Maiden Plate at 13:05. Candice Robinson claimed the fillies juvenile plate with Clouds Unfold and seems to be showing a definite nick with the What A Winter progeny. Brett Crawford and Corne Orffer got the better of Mister Colin in the third and then it was straight into the serious stuff with Brett Crawford and Greg Cheyne lifting the Gr3 Heineken Chairman’s Cup with Our Emperor in a tight finish. The Peninsula Handicap boasted a really stiff line-up and while there have been a few grumbles about the result, Anthony Andrews produced a polished performance to bring home the very smart Eyes Wide Open for the Woodhill Racing team.

Glen Kotzen seems to be making this race his own after winning it with Light The Lights in 2016.

There were a few hard luck stories as well and I was particularly sad for the magnificent Black Arthur who suffered an epistaxis. I hope he is on the mend soon.

The Paddock Stakes lined up some of the most exciting female talent in our ranks and as always, it’s horrible that only one can come home the winner, but Grant van Niekerk made it look easy on Oh Susanna for Snaith Racing and

Drakenstein Stud and the filly will be supplemented into the Met on the strength of that performance.

Writing history If the Paddock Stakes was tough, it was even worse choosing who to shout for in the main race, but the easy, fluid way Legal Eagle cantered down signalled that the Champ was in top form. Nevertheless, Corne Orffer had us all on the edge of our seats with his front-running tactics on Captain America, and then suddenly there seemed to be horses coming from every direction. Copper Force bobbed and weaved around horses, Sail South and Marinaresco sprouted wings and while Legal Eagle was certainly pressed to the line, Anton Marcus had timed it to devastating perfection.

After all the ups, downs and uncertainties of the last few weeks, it was the most fitting result. We are so lucky to have this fantastic horse on our tracks and it was a privilege to be on course to see him make history.

Huge congratulations to Braam van Huyssteen, Billy Henderson and Hedley McGrath – may the winning high last a good long time. Also huge plaudits to the team at home who produce this horse at his fabulous best year on year.

Plate goodbye for another year.

Special touches As always there were wonderful touches all over the course and it’s always fun to see what is new and what interesting features have been added, but in that ‘Christmas spirit’ vibe, the best part of the meeting is that it feels inclusive and the team go out of their way to ensure we have presenters, race callers and personalities from across the racing spectrum. The racing community responds in kind, meaning there are favourites and familiar faces – horses and humans – from all four corners of the country, making it feel something of a family event.

One of the testaments to this is that the sponsors have refused to be pulled into the high stakes hysteria seen at some of our other flagship events and it is an absolute credit that in the true spirit of the sport, this wonderful race attracts our best for the honour of winning the race, rather than chasing a big cheque and in that it stands as a testament to the heritage and the sport itself.

I just want to make a special mention of Lyle Hewitson who kept a calm head under pressure to produce that spectacular 2nd on Copper Force.

Having hitched myself to his star since we met on the set of Legends Of The Turf, I am hugely impressed by how fast he is developing into a top notch rider. Another special mention must go to the Azzie yard – Hat Puntano looked absolutely magnificent. The last minute change in travel plans would have taken its toll and I’m sure we will see him back to best in the near future.

Grant van Niekerk and Justin Spirit of Snaith were a power pairing on Sportsmanship the day, bringing home the Twice This year more than any other, Over colt, Doublemint in the Gr3 BMW Politician Stakes. The equally there seemed to be a particularly reliable Brett Crawford and Corne happy and expectant mood. Perhaps Orffer got Phelan Lucky home by it was because everyone’s horses a comfortable 1.25 lengths in the were in a good space, perhaps it penultimate race of the day and was the weather – who knows, but everyone gathered in Team Van Niekerk After all the the spirit of the day, and Snaith signed did their flat-out best off the afternoon’s ups, downs and and still managed to racing with Platinum uncertainties of the have fun doing it.

Class in the last and racing finished at a last few weeks, it was One particularly gesture was very civilised 18:35. the most fitting result lovely the competition run It’s not often one wants to hang around after races, in the L’Ormarins room with services but the Queen’s Plate is just one of to some of the Drakenstein stallions those days. We toasted a successful as prizes, including a service to day from the Garett Bar as the sun Duke Of Marmalade for the most set over Table Mountain, did a successful breeder on the day and a quick round of hellos and goodbyes darts competition for a Futura service upstairs and there was just time for as a bit of fun. Connemara Stud’s a few rounds of chopsticks duets Paul Garlicki correctly predicted the with Heather Morkel on the foyer winner of the main race and was piano before we bid the Queen’s selected by lucky dip as the recipient of a service to What A Winter.

Paul was rightly thrilled, particularly with What A Winter’s great results over the two days. “We are very grateful to L’Ormarins and Drakenstein Stud Farm. We were having a wonderful day anyway, but winning the service was just the cherry on the top.

They really go all out to make it an enjoyable day for everyone.”

I think that more or less sums it up for me. From the biggest gestures – such as ensuring that Legal Eagle’s name was added to the honour roll straight after the race - to the smallest, like the lovely handsoaps in the bathrooms, it all adds up to making one feel like a treasured guest, which is the thing the L’Ormarins team do so very well.

With the CPYS and Met looming large on the horizon, the rollercoaster will be gathering speed from here on in, so before we all get run away with, my sincerest thanks to Gaynor Rupert, Katherine Gray and the army of unseen hands behind the scenes who work so hard to make it all happen. L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate day 2018 was, as always, a day to remember.

WINTER TIME

Cute Salute Jockey Grant van Niekerk was the darling of the sponsors and the crowd on L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Saturday but his salute prior to the finish line when winning the Paddock Stakes on Oh Suzanna cost his R2500.

Triple Equus Champion, and Champion First Crop Sire, What A Winter enjoyed a notable treble this past weekend. His daughter Magical Wonderland scored an impressive victory in the Gr2 Cartier Sceptre Stakes, on the first day of the 2018 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate race meeting on Friday. Next up was a hugely impressive juvenile winner in the form of the Drakenstein Stud bred and owned Clouds Unfold on Saturday. What A Winter’s third winner of the weekend was the Dr Ian Heyns bred Imagine That who enjoyed a step up to 1600m when breaking her maiden by three parts of a length over 1600m at Scottsville on Saturday. What A Winter has 11 lots on this month’s Cape Premier Yearling Sale, including a full-sister to Gr3 Cape Nursery winner Dutch Philip (# 165).

A few Met hopefuls saw their fortunes turn for the worse on Saturday.

Hat Puntano had his starting stall certificate withdrawn and he has been scratched. Horizon managed fourth in the Peninsula Handicap but returned lame on the left fore. Black Arthur has been suspended for two months after suffering a pulmonary haemorrhage . Callan Murray also reported that he felt something amiss with Deo Juvente in the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate running. The son of Trippi has now finished over 37 lengths back at his last two starts. That’s no ideal Met prep.

Mauritzfontein sire Ideal World was represented by four more winners this weekend. First of the Ideal World progeny to score was Tease, who broke her maiden in fine style over a mile at Kenilworth on Friday. Ideal World looks to have a smart 2yo in the form of Inverroche, who strolled home to make a three length winning debut over 1000m at Scottsville on Saturday. She was the very first 2yo runner for Ideal World this season. The Gr3 Graham Beck Stakes runner-up Ideal Secret impressed many pundits on Sunday when he won a Progress Plate over 1600m at Turffontein. Next up was Alec Laird trained Amazing Strike, who registered his eighth win in a Pinnacle Stakes on the same card.

Bob’s Our Uncle

In multiple graded-stakes winners West Coast and Collected, Hall Of Fame trainer Bob Baffert has two chances to defend his title won by Arrogate in the $16 million Gr1 Pegasus World Cup Invitational, the world’s richest race, to be run on the same day as the Sun Met - Saturday 27 January - at Gulfstream Park. 9 of the 12 Pegasus berths have been filled.

Igugu’s Son Former champion race mare Igugu, who died in November 2016, had one son that was named Kikujirou. The two -year-old colt, sired by Juddmonte Farms’ ace stallion Dansili, will be trained by John Gosden and has been entered in the 2019 Investec Derby.

Top steeplechaser Thistlecrack will miss the rest of the season, including March's Cheltenham Gold Cup, with a stress fracture.

The 2016 King George VI Chase winner only returned to racing in December after 10 months out with a leg injury. Thistlecrack missed the 2017 Gold Cup with a slight tendon tear, having started the season by winning his first four starts over fences.The 2018 Cheltenham Gold Cup takes place on Friday, 16 March.

RECKLESS DRIVER REMINDER The One Hundred and Thirty Sixth Annual General Meeting of Members will be held at the offices of The National Horseracing Authority of Southern Africa, Turf Club Street, Turffontein, on Wednesday, 17 January 2018, at 14h00.

Aussie trainer Robert Smerdon's float driver Greg Nelligan has been charged with laying horses from his employer's stable as part of the wide-ranging raceday treatment investigation. Rule AR 175B(2) states that 'Any person employed by a trainer in connection with the training or care of racehorses must not lay a horse under the control of the trainer for whom he is or was employed, while so employed.' It is alleged that Nelligan bet $100 on the Smerdon-trained Darney Gub to lose a race at Moonee Valley. Darney Gub finished second, beaten 0.2L, as a favourite after leading in the 1600m contest.

Karl’s Top 10 Karl’s first win came in 1981, on Mr & Mrs Frank Waring’s Lurgan, trained by Chris Snaith. “My memory’s a bit hazy,” he laughs, “but he’s one of the horses I never rode a lot.

I’d just started riding for Chris and it was my first big race win for him. After that I rode for him for quite a few years.”

His next win was also for Chris Snaith aboard Front Cover in 1984 and produced the only dead heat in the history of the race.

“He was a lovely big grey horse. Very long striding,” remembers Karl. “He also had quite a nice story – Chris picked him up in a riding school in Joburg. The guys said why don’t you have a go with him, Chris said OK and brought him down, put him in racing and he never stopped winning.” They dead-heated with Garth Puller on Chili Bite. “We ran down the outside of the course. I thought I’d got it. He was such a big horse and normally the one on the outside gets it, but when the picture came out, it was a dead heat. But half is still better than nothing,” he smiles ruefully. “I eventually won 10 races on him. He was a lovely horse.”

In 1987, Karl won the race on Lord Randolph. The filly Far Afield set the pace, with Lord Randolph placed just off the vanguard.

When he asked the question, Lord Randolph passed her to win by an easy 1.75 lengths. Karl remembers, “He was one of the Jaffee’s first really decent horses.

I also won 9 races on him. He was a lovely chestnut with a big

Karl Neisius

The Diadem Stakes was first run as the Diadem Weight For Age Plate at Kenilworth on 30 November 1957. The race was usually run in late November or early December and was Kenilworth’s answer to Milnerton’s Cape Flying Championship. It has been won by champions, beating champions.

he race has been run under different guises over the years.

After starting out as the Diadem WFA Plate, it was run as the Southern Cross Stakes in 1971 and 1972 and then reverted to the Diadem Stakes from 1974 onwards.

In the first year, it was run for a stake of £1,400 and won by J.W. Hill’s homebred, Tetrina (Royal Pardon - Zorina). She was trained by Stanley Gorton and ridden by Freddie Heyman. The 3yo filly was assigned 7st 9 (but carried 7st 10) and won in a time of 1 minute 13.4 seconds, besting Cookie Amos’ mighty Black Pirate by half a length,with Syd Garrett’s Fair Weather a short head third.

Interestingly, Tetrina’s full brother, the mighty Royal Affair, won the race the following year and in 1974 it was won by a son of Royal Affair in Lancaster. Similarly, Over The Air won in 1979 and his son, Express Courier, won it in 1988.

Having been beaten by both Tetrina and Royal Affair, Black Pirate won back to back renewals of the race in 1959 and 1960.

Other horses to win the race multiple times are Queen’s Plate winner Inverthorn, Queen’s Plate and Met winner Peter Beware, Queen’s Plate and July winner Flaming Rock, the mighty Flobayou was a three time winner, Nhlavini won it 3 times and What A Winter won it twice.

However, the undisputed king of the Diadem is Karl Neisius, who has 10 Diadem wins to his credit.

O

white face. He was a strong, robust, muscular sort of horse – typical sprinter. He had a very strong finish, so you used to have to hide him away a little. If you got him covered, he’d give you a fantastic burst at the end.”

Flaming Rock Then came the wonderful Flaming Rock, who won back to back runnings of the Diadem in 1991 and 1992. “The race used to be run at the beginning of the season and it was the first big race of the summer season,” says Karl. “This would be the first meeting where you’d see the big horses after their Durban campaign, so a lot of people used to come and watch just to see how they are and we always used to have nice crowds. Even the Durban trainers used to come for this race – it was a nice start up race for them and their big horses for the season and was a nice gallop for them.”

With regards to Flaming Rock, he says, “We always used to put him in the Diadem and let him have a run there to see how he was for the season.

It was normally his first run back from Durban, so it would be a little pipe opener and he’d go on after that. We hardly ever galloped him before the race,” he recalls. “We just put him in to see how he’d go.

And he managed to win it twice in a row.”

Commenting that there aren’t too many like that around these days, he agrees.

“As a jockey, you are very lucky to get more than one of those horses in your life, especially in South Africa. He could sprint and he could stay. I have very fond memories of riding him.

“Every time you rode him it was special. He was one of my favourites to ride. He never did a thing wrong at track and was just the perfect gentleman to ride.”

Flobayou

Asked what he remembers of the race he chuckles, “I won very comfortably, that’s all I remember. He was a very, very good horse. I was sad to lose the ride to Bernard Fayd’herbe, but that’s the way things go. I won 7 on him and there’s nothing too shabby about that. I always enjoyed having long relationships with horses.”

Ten wins in the same race must be a record of some kind? “I don’t know, I don’t follow Joburg races a lot. Piere Strydom rides so many winners, he might have done it, but I’m very happy to have won the race 10 times.

It’s one of my favourite races and one of my favourite courses. It’s also probably my favourite distance – I love the Kenilworth 1200m.” Asked why, he retorts mischievously, “Probably because that’s where I won most of my races!”

Flobayou was the first horse to win three Diadems. In 1994 he beat Taban by 2.5 lengths, he won it again in 1995, beating Jewel Of Asia. In 1996, he was 4th behind Cordocelli, Wise King and Bushmanland and then he won it again in 1997, beating London News, Cordocelli and the likes of Shah’s Star and Bushmanland. “Flobayou was a bit of a handful,” recalls Karl. “He was a tough horse to work with and tended to want to do a little Special course too much. He was a very temperamental horse in the pens his whole career – he had “The Kenilworth 1200m is a fantastic to be in out and wouldn’t stand still even for distance. As you can see with some of the a few seconds, but I won 16 races on him.” horses that have won this race, a really decent miler can come out and win Karl rode Captain Al to It’s a fantastic course, the 1200m at Kenilworth. I victory in December 2000. “I think the course has got a little was freelancing at the time. and some really bit quicker than it used to be, I can’t quite remember how fantastic horses have so maybe you don’t see it now I got the ride, but I was very happy to ride him. He was a won their first race over as much as you used to, but find a lot of really good great horse.” Captain Al had the Kenilworth 1200m you’ll young horses that win the contracted a lung disease during the Durban season and lost some of his 1200m at Kenilworth, go on to be top mile lung capacity, so Vaughan Marshall had brought 2000m horses and go on and do really good him back to sprint distances. “He ran on pure things. It’s a fantastic course, and some really heart,” remembers Karl. “I gave fantastic horses have won their first race over him a chance that day and the Kenilworth 1200m.” sat just off them and He explains what makes it testing is that the he just mowed them track undulates subtly. “From the 1200m you down at the end.” go up slightly, then it levels out a bit.

The nice thing is that you’ve got a lot of time for your horse to correct itself and get travelling nicely again and 9 times out of 10 you’ve got a bit of a head wind to race into, so there’s plenty of time to sit. If you want to, you can sit until the last furlong out – even longer if you’ve got a lot of horse under you. It gives you plenty of time.”

About the Race “I think it was better having it earlier in the season. When it was run earlier, it was the start of the summer season and a nice opening race to get horses ready for later on, so you always used to get decent crowds. it was a nice race to progress horses going forward and to show you where you stand.

That was the nice thing about the race.”

“I’ve been really lucky – all the colts I rode went on to stud, and it’s got a great heritage in that respect, but I think it’s a great race to win.

I’m really happy Lady Laidlaw is sponsoring it now and I wish her all the luck.”

Time For Real Racing People To Join Hands

Fortune 'Blame Me!' System Has Failed The Sport

H

After a tumultuous end to 2017, If ever there was a time to stand up as a true racing fan and fill the stands at Kenilworth it is now, writes Martin Locke.

ow we long for days when racing was for the Thoroughbred...all started by the greats of the sport.

The giant coal magnate Graham Beck was a true leader probably the greatest.

Breeding from his Kangra conglomerate of Noreen Stud, Maine Chance Farms along with Highlands Farm, Beck set the standard along with the likes of Mick Goss of Summerhill Stud, another extraordinary horseman, the Koster family ... Wilfred...John ....to name a few . Senior statesmen of our breeding and racing ranks whose input can still be felt on our worldclass race tracks.

Honour In those days the Administrators of the sport were led by Sandy Christie, Wally Segal, Basil Thomas, Dave Furness and so on - true professionals. It was my honour to be SABC's advisor and to help develop the sport and make it both accessible and available to the entire population through free to air broadcasts on Top Sport SABC1 every Saturday afternoon.

This ensured that the magic of racing was broadcast into homes and townships and accessible to all. This task would not have been possible without the assistance of Robin Bruss, betting presenter David Mollett and James Maphiri.

The TBA through Graeme Hawkins and the expertise of producer/ director Dieter Wohlberg completed a professional and packaged programme that broadened the appeal of the sport beyond just the cable service of DSTV, and ensured widespread interest.

I reflect on this because those were fabulous days which enabled us to grow our sport right up to the public interest level of rugby and cricket.

In those heady days, it was simply unthinkable that this great sport could sink to today's level in which there is no free to air broadcast and a controlled and narrow media that constricts rather than enhances the sport.

Racing is undoubtedly under pressure as it declines in the public consciousness – and the larger part of dissemination focusing on

betting rather than the sport of horse racing. Is it any wonder that bookmaking betting on other Sports and on lucky numbers are now the growth areas? Those charged with safeguarding the sport seem more focused on the betting than on the Sport itself....

Much Speculation Given the Steinhoff debacle which has affected racing's largest owner, Mayfair Speculators, as well as the talk of impending investigation into Phumelela and Mr Jooste's role within it, racing is suffering much negative publicity. While it would be wise to sit tight and let the legal boys sort things out for now, there are questions that arise about the nature of the relationship between the betting operator Phumelela and those within the Racing Association whose task it is to protect the Sport. The fact that public interest, especially in the Cape, has been allowed to sink to current levels speaks much of a system that is currently failing the Sport - the participants and those who derive a living from it as well as those fans and punters in the public who feel marginalized. More importantly, the question must be asked - who will take up the reins to instigate a thorough audit and undertake some much needed house-keeping in order to put right what has gone wrong?

Big questions requiring big answers, but in the meantime, we were treated to a weekend of racing magic, a la Gaynor Rupert, as Gaynor and her fabulous team headed up by Katherine Gray delivered a top drawer weekend of racing at the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate festival.

When the Ruperts own an event they make sure their presence is felt and it is always worth being there.

Our owners, breeders, horses, trainers and riders came to the party and then some and it was yet another day for the memory banks. It was also evidence of the deep and abiding resilience of our community, who hardly missed a beat in keeping the show going.

Broadcast Turning to the coverage of this

Betting On Royalty Tote turnovers for the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Festival at Kenilworth on Friday and Saturday with three other local race meetings Friday through Sunday ‘did well’, according to TAB boss Vee Moodley.

"TAB turnovers were up on last year, in spite of a hiccup with our online tote system on Thursday and Friday’.

“National turnovers were up

17.4 percent on last year from R39,766,488 to R46,705,440.

Phumelela Gaming and Leisure territories were up 23.4 percent on 2017, while Kenilworth Racing’s turnover increased by 9.8% – all despite the current economic conditions,” said Moodley. “Of course, last year on the same weekend we lost the Saturday Scottsville meeting and Turffontein on the Sunday.

exciting event, there was plenty of focus on being stylish and flamboyant which was quite splendid- but a little warning.

The concentration on the social side, i.e. glamour, who's who in the Zoo etc, I felt was overdone.

Presenters running here and there Willy Nilly to see how many they could get in to the sad exclusion of the jockeys and trainers - the main stars of the show.

It's plainly obvious that the team are trying to give their sponsor value for money, but one has to be careful of over exposure of a brand.

Of course they deserve the maximum, but I was hauled over the coals once by the broadcaster for mentioning Rothmans 5 times in the entire day - I stopped counting L'Ormarins when we passed a hundred!

With the greatest respect to the Rupert Empire which we love having in our racing world, you must have a balance and the exposure of the wine, women and song was a little too much.

That aside, the coverage on the day was fabulous and the fashion brilliant and it provided a welcome and much needed respite from the Speculators (if you'll pardon the pun) wondering where he is, who else might be complicit and, of course what the NHA is - or should be - doing to manage racing's reputation in the face of all the controversy.

The thorny issue of first-timer comments reared its ugly head at Fairview on 3 January when debutante Carlita bounded home by eight lengths after being backed from 10-1 to odds on

The daughter of Oratorio is owned by trainer Alan Greeff and his wife Glennifer, in partnership with retired jockey Andrew Fortune’s wife, Ashley.

The multiple champion trainer’s comments on Tellytrack’s raceday preview that the debutante ‘will need the run but could manage the back end of quartets’ immediately raised eyebrows, with some punters crying foul in view of the flood of money for the winner.

In response to an editorial published after the race on the Sporting Post website, the former SA champion jockey said: “I worked the filly 2 days before and told Alan I felt she would need the run. He only went on what I told him, so blame me.”

Our Kingdom For A Dynasty

In The Sun On a more positive note, J&B handed over the reins to the Sun group last year and the first Sun Met got off to a good start, with the promise of more to come, so I believe all is not lost. Our breeders, trainers, jockeys and horses have never been better and, for that reason alone, I am confident we will get over the current catastrophe of failing public confidence and interest.

However, our sport needs our support and that is why I call true racing fans to a call for action. We are resilient and we will overcome.

But we need the sensibility to understand that racing is a game for all and there must be wider dissemination on television and other media. There has to be a willingness to change and to adapt if we are to prevent further decline.

“I was also satisfied with the Pick 6 pool on Saturday at Kenilworth which surpassed the estimate by reaching a net of R4.1 million and paid out a handsome dividend of R225,437.

“But the increase shows the Festival is growing in stature.

Gaynor Rupert and her team are doing an amazing job promoting the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate and the Festival. The atmosphere at Kenilworth over the weekend was electric and the turnovers show that it’s going to grow even more from here.”

Fortune was on course with his family to lead the impressive winner in. She was ridden by Teaque Gould, while Greg Cheyne rode the more ‘fancied’ stablemate, Supa Smart.

Cheyne reported he felt something amiss with Supa Smart in running and did not persevere with his ride.

Nothing was detected by the Vet. We are aware that Greeff is one of the trainers willing to give pre-race comments and any public attack could well end up in him declining that voluntary source in future.

The National Horseracing Authority have advised that trainer A Greeff appeared before the Board and was questioned regarding his pre-race comments pertaining to his two runners in the first race. The matter has been adjourned.

T

Highlands four-times Equus Champion sire Dynasty underlined his superb versatility and extraordinary ability to strike at the top-level again when his sons Eyes Wide Open and Our Emperor scored feature wins on the second day of the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Festival Of Racing at Kenilworth on Saturday.

he only stallion on the premier day to register a feature double, the irrepressible son of Fort Wood delivered the goods with 2yo Gr1 winner Eyes Wide Open booking his Gr1 Sun Met berth with a superb win as a 3yo against older horses in the Glorious Goodwood Gr2 Peninsula Handicap.

Leading Sire

Saturday’s L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate victory by the brilliant son of Greys Inn had us reflecting how the late New Zealand champion Zabeel has more than left his mark on the South African racing scene.

e is the sire of Gauteng Guineas winning sire, Oracy, while another son, Ess Five Beaches, won the Gr3 Lonsdale Stirrup Cup and would have joined Oracy at stud had he not died prematurely.

Zabeel was also broodmare sire of local graded winners, Nothing But Silk (Sceptre Stakes, Southern Cross Stakes) and Curved Ball (Dingaans), the sire of this season’s Gr2 Dingaans runner up, Seerite.

Greys Inn

Zabeel’s best son to race in South Africa was undoubtedly Equus Champion, Greys Inn (USA), who won the 2004 Vodacom Durban July, amid a trio of Gr1 races. Greys Inn competed in four different countries and twice faced off against legendary Australian race mare, Makybe Diva (Desert King). The versatile brown colt won from 1200m to 2450m and perhaps put up his finest performance when second to champion Vengeance Of Rain in the 2005 QE II Cup at Sha Tin, when Greys Inn accounted for international Gr1 winners Bullish Luck, Epalo, Elvstroem and Grand Armee.

Interestingly among the notable horses beaten by Greys Inn in the July was champion filly, Promisefrommyheart (Elliodor), whose son, Master Of My Fate (Jet Master), was represented by his first winner, when Twist Of Fate won on Friday.

While Greys Inn’s greatest son has been, without doubt, Legal Eagle, he is also sire of Royal Bencher, who dead-heated in the SA Derby , and retired grey, King Of Pain. The latter accounted for champions, Beach Beauty (Dynasty), Yorker (Jet Master) and Capetown Noir (Western Winter), when victorious in the 2014 Rising Sun Gold Challenge and won a total of four graded races in all. Other graded winners for Greys Inn include Canterbury Tale, Chekilli and Forries Waltz, although it is perhaps telling that he is yet to be represented by a single graded stakes winning filly.

Versatility

Greys Inn’s stud record could well have gained further gloss had his talented sons, Chekilli and Forries Waltz, both not died in training. Perhaps it is no surprise that despite being a son of a major

Grey's Inn stamina influence in Zabeel, Greys Inn has also proved capable of throwing above average sprinter-milers –his dam is a half-sister to outstanding sprinter, Zeditave.

Greys Inn’s sire, Zabeel, has had a most notable impact in this country this season through Saturday’s Gr1 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate winner, Legal Eagle and his presence has also been felt through the deeds of his grandson, Lonhro in 2017-2018. Best known in South Africa as the sire of 2016 Vodacom Durban July winner, The Conglomerate, Australian Horse

Of The Year, Lonhro, has a pair of bright three-year-olds representing him in South Africa this season. They are recent Gr3 Lebelo Sprint winner, Alfolk and last season’s Gr1 SA Nursery runner up, Naafer.

Remarkably, Alfolk and Naafer are the only two sophomores representing their sire in this country this season.

Lonhro’s own sire, fellow Australian Horse Of The Year, Octagonal, also enjoyed Gr1 success in South Africa, with his son, Suntagonal, who downed champion, National Currency, in the 2002 Premiers Champion Stakes.

Lonhro has outperformed his sire at stud, already having a General Sires title to his credit, as well as the titles of Leading Sire of 2yos and Leading Sire of 3yos (by stakes) and has also twice been leading sire of winners in Australia. His champion son, and Golden Slipper winner, Pierro, has also been represented by Listed Christmas Handicap winner, Roy Had Enough (a first South African runner for his sire), and it is not hard to see both Lonhro and Pierro enjoying sustained success, from their limited runners, in this country.

Pierro is currently Australia’s Leading Second Crop Sire and with a Gr1 winner emerging from his very first crop (VRC Oaks heroine Pinot) looks to be a sire with a very bright future ahead of him. Already represented by six stakes winners this season, Pierro has some well-bred youngsters still to represent him.

He could well be the horse most likely to ensure the ongoing success of the Zabeel male line, with assistance from New Zealand Champion sire, Savabeel. Pierro, however, has a long way to go to match the feats of his ancestor, Zabeel, who notched up 23 sires titles during his remarkable career. He left behind at least 13 official champions, including Might And Power and Octagonal, who were two of the greatest racehorses to grace the Australian turf in the past few decades and who won a combined 17 Gr1 races, and Hong Kong champion, and Dubai Sheema Classic winner, Vengeance Of Rain.

Zabeel, who died in 2015, continues to dominate various broodmare sire lists in Australasia, and already has four titles in New Zealand to his name.

New Sire Off The Mark - Master Of My Fate New Sire Off The Mark - Pomodoro

A Masterful Start

T

Varsfontein Stud stallion Master Of My Fate broke the ice just weeks after his first runner, when his goodlooking first crop son Twist Of Fate easily won the first race on the opening day of the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Festival Of Racing at Kenilworth last Friday.

rained by Joey Ramsden, the River Palace Racing Syndicate – owned Twist Of Fate skipped clear of his opposition inside the final 200m of the 1000m Maiden Juvenile Plate under replacement rider Donovan Dillon. The bang in-form Joey Ramsden also saddled the runnerup, Cash Call – a well related Team Valor bred son of Gimmethegreenlight.

The Favour Stud-bred Twist Of Fate is out of the twice winning Counter Action mare, Crescent Lily, a winner of the Listed Breeders Guineas at Fairview.

The winner, who races for Mauritian connections, looks well bought at

R20 000 off the CTS March Yearling Sale.

A handsome son of deceased seventimes champion sire Jet Master, the R3 million Master Of My Fate was the top colt sold from the 2011 National SaleHe was a winner of six of eight starts, from 1200m to 1800m, which included the Gr2 Premier Trophy and Gr2 Peninsula Handicap. He is one of two stakes winners produced by Elliodor’s Equus Champion Promisefrommyheart.

From the same family as Breeders’ Cup winning sire Pluck, Master Of My Fate has two lots on offer at the Cape Premier Yearling Sale on 20 and 21 January.

Pomodoro Comes Out Flying

B

Klawervlei Stud stallion Pomodoro was represented by his first winner when his two-year-old son Lethal Weapon made a winning debut over 1000m at the Vaal on Tuesday 2 January.

red, owned, and trained by Dorrie Sham, Lethal Weapon was steered to victory by Weichong Marwing, who guided the Pomodoro colt to a comfortable hands and heels win. It was another five lengths back to third place finisher Now And Forever.

Lethal Weapon was produced by the Victory Moon mare Cashmere Mafia.

Pomodoro has made an exceptional start to his stud career, with his first three runners having all either won or finished in the money.

This is a great start for a Derby winner who himself never raced at two!

Champion trainer Sean Tarry, who trained Pomodoro, sent out Pomodoro first crop 2yos Royal Italian and Cirillo to finish second and third on their respective debuts and holds both colts in high regard.

Royal Italian is set to contest a big juvenile race on Sun Met day, while Cirillo (described by his trainer as a classic type) could also face the starter at the 2018 Met day.

One of more than 20 Gr1 winners for seven times champion sire Jet Master, Pomodoro won from 1160-2450m during his illustrious career, and, like leading sire Dynasty, accounted for some of the country’s finest when victorious in the Gr1 Vodacom Durban July.

Produced by Broodmare Of The Year Golden Apple, Pomodoro won or placed in all of the Gr1 Vodacom Durban July, Gr1 SA Derby, Gr1 SA Classic, Gr1 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate, Gr1 Rising Sun Gold Challenge and Gr1 Champions Challenge.

Pomodoro has five lots on the 2018 Cape Premier Yearling Sale – watch this space for our full sale preview.
