SOFT FALLING RAIN. Bred by Highlands, sold as a yearling at the very first Cape Premier Sale, right under the mountain.

Bought by Sheikh Hamdan and trained by Mike de Kock, he was the South African Champion 2yo. On to Dubai, to win UAE Guineas and Godolphin Mile. Then UK, for “the best winning performance in the twenty-six-year history of the Joel”, as Timeform put it. At 129 the highest rated runner owned by Sheikh Hamdan anywhere in the world that year. Then stud, in South Africa, at Wilgerbosdrift.

All the big names strung together.

Now with his first crop of yearlings at the sale. The Cape Sale, naturally – for what goes round comes round.

Racing Then See You At The Sale!

Gold Circle

Summer Sky - carries top weight and gets the services of Richard Fourie

The Cape Premier Yearling Sale will be at the forefront of most racing minds this weekend, with a national programme that boasts no feature events. There is plenty of competitive racing on the agenda though and a tricky eight race card is hosted at Kenilworth.

MR 88 Handicap at Kenilworth this Saturday

T

he Listed Michael Roberts Handicap was originally programmed for Scottsville on Sunday but has been postponed a week. The Kenilworth Place Accumulator opens with an MR 88 Handicap over a mile where the small field of six runners could be deceptive for exotic players.

Brett Crawford’s Carbon Offset has won 3 races and has been on the fringes in his three return runs since returning from KZN. The son of Gimmethegreenlight meets Dean Kannemeyer’s Summer Sky on 4kgs better terms for a 2 length beating over 200m shorter at his penultimate start.

Problematic starter Rikitikitana

has blotted his promise and copybook on numerous occasions with his delinquent starting antics.

Currently racing off an 84, he would only need to jump and run to his better ability (he peaked at 93) to have a shout. He should strip fit.

The Andre Nel yard have not been in the sweetest of form, but the lightly tried 4yo Kampala Campari has maintained his consistency and meets Summer Sky on a kilo better terms than in his penultimate 0,40 length defeat. He gets the blinkers removed and benefits from something of a jockey strike in the form of Bernard Fayd’herbe.

Dean Kannemeyer’s classy Trippi gelding Summer Sky carries top weight and gets the services of the top-class Richard Fourie. While probably at his

best at 1400m, the 4yo stayed on well under 2 lengths behind Queen’s Plate contender Fifty Cents last time and is fit and in form. He sees out the mile and is a game sort.

His stablemate Cape Fling has been a trifle disappointing and has not won in over a year. He looked full of promise early on, but has not gone on with his progress.

Harold Crawford’s Perovskia confirmed his improved form with a gutsy win over Bobby Dazzler at Durbanville last time out. The Russian Sage gelding is above average and a serious runner in this small field.

A tricky PA opener where any one of the six could win. Carbon Offset may be fit enough to register his fourth win and is a narrow selection to beat Summer Sky and Kampala

Campari.

On the balance of the card, there are a few runners of interest.

Marion Belle, the impressive recent maiden winning daughter of champion Australian sire Snitzel, has her third start in the fifth race, an MR 68 Handicap over 1000m.

The Ridgemont Racing Team will no doubt be hoping that the A$560 000 purchase can progress and take the next step up with a smooth win. The nicely bred 4yo certainly has better things written all over her.

The SA Oaks runner-up Oriental Oak has not quite found her form in her last few starts but the Glen Kotzen-trained daughter of Silvano drops a few rungs to an MR 85 Handicap over 1700m, where she carries top weight in a field of six.]

Richard Fourie could get Colin Bird’s good daughter to score a confidence building victory. She probably has most to fear from the supremely consistent Brave Move, who is an ATM on four legs. The Adam Marcus-trained daughter of Horse Chestnut has outstanding form.

The final race, which ends earlier than normal at 16h45, in order to allow salesgoers to make their way to the Cape Town International Convention Centre for the opening session of the 2018 Cape Premier Yearling Sale, is a tricky Fillies and Mares Maiden Plate over 1800m.

Quite a few are lightly raced and showing signs of some form - so Pick 6 players may want to go wide. There is nothing worse than dipping out in the last!

THE ULTIMATE EQUESTRIAN LIFESTYLE!

VAL du LAC estate is nestled in an amphitheatre of mountains, surrounded by the Hottentots-Holland Nature Reserve, the Theewaters Nature Reserve and Haweqwa Nature Reserve. Serenely secluded for peace and tranquility, yet only 1½ km from the village of Franshhoek. The fenced off estate encompasses 24.2 ha, including 2 dams, which are fed by streams from the mountains behind the farm. There is a state-of-the-art fully equipped stable complex and the property comprises a further two individual luxury residences. This is truly a very unique opportunity in the Franschhoek Valley.

CHASE LIEBENBERG

Grant van Niekerk has Bishop’s Bounty well in control

Gr2 KHAYA STABLES DIADEM STAKES Kenilworth last Saturday

W

Justin Snaith ticked the Gr2 Khaya Stables Diadem Stakes off his career bucket list at Kenilworth on Saturday. One of the very few local features that he hadn’t yet won, Snaith came to the party with a coupling and ended up banking the first and third cheques - with Grant van Niekerk again doing the honours.

inning form often works in waves and the Snaith-Van Niekerk combo built on their L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Festival hot run with a 600-1 feature double at a sunbaked Kenilworth Racecourse.

The well-related Bishop’s Bounty started his professional life with a

massive reputation and has taken some time to put his best hoof forward. A talented and handsome chestnut, he finally cracked his first stakes success – and did it in some style and largely against the run of play. His previous two runs this term suggesting he was badly off form.

After winning the Sophomore Sprint a half hour earlier, the Snaith- Van

Niekerk combination went off at 45-1, with the hardknocking Sergeant Hardy the more fancied of their attack.

Last year’s winner Trip To Heaven jumped on terms for a change and it was Sergeant Hardy who led the charge from Mujaafy early on, with Bishop’s Bounty at the back at the 800m.

Sergeant Hardy continued to roll at the 300m, but Bishop’s Bounty had been making ground steadily, and switched out marginally at the 300m, he kicked powerfully.

Cruising past Sergeant Hardy like he was standing still, it was left to the evergreen 8yo Tevez to chase.

At the line, Bishop’s Bounty was 2 lengths to the good and he clocked 71,38 secs – marginally slower than his year younger stablemate Sir Frenchie who carried 3kgs less to win the preceding feature.

Sergeant Hardy was a further 0,75 lengths back in third, with Mike de Kock’s Mujaafy coming again to run fourth.

Trip To Heaven was just out of the money but failed to produce a kick, while Always In Charge was done no favours, having to get reshod at the start.

Racing in the Michael Leaf silks, the Lammerskraal-bred Bishop’s Bounty is a son of Western Winter (Gone West) out of the top-class Nacarat (Pas De Quoi). He is thus a full-brother to both Brutal Force (who ran downfield here) and Klawervlei stallion, Red Ray. Bishop’s Bounty was purchased by Kerry Jack Bloodstock for R1,4 million at the 2015 CTS Lanzerac Ready To Run Sale.

He took his stakes earnings to R692 300 and has won 5 races with 6 places from 14 starts.

Crusade For Glory

Yvette Bremner’s Dippin’ Blu Stables continued their purple patch of form at Fairview on Friday with four smart winners – including a top class effort from the Jay Peg filly Veeipee Club to win the R110 000 Aloe Handicap non black-type feature.

The sign of a professional outfit! The bosses are on holiday and things tick over. Yvette paid tribute to her staff as she had just returned from a holiday in the East. A lovely welcome home present.

High-riding SA champion apprentice Lyle Hewitson – currently second on the national log – was the winning rider aboard Veeipee Club and maintained his solid association – Dippin’ Blu Stables providing him with more than 50% of his total victories this season.

Only one of the four Bremner winners were ridden by Hewitson though, with Ryan Munger grabbing a double and apprentice Juglall bagging his third career victory with a clever ride aboard the anypriced Zaida to win the last.

Hewitson has been aboard at all four of the versatile Veeipee Club’s successes, and the pair showed that they are lethal together, gaining a 0,75 length victory over the fancied What A Player in a time of 77,6 secs for the poly 1300m.

A daughter of Jay Peg (Camden Park) out of five-time winner Irish Darling (Casey Tibbs), the Hemel ‘n Aarde Stud-bred winner has won 4 of her 8 starts with 2 places and stakes of R215 950.

There is only one Jay Peg filly (#124) on this weekend’s Cape Premier Yearling Sale.

Justin Snaith and Grant Van Niekerk returned to their favourite feature hunting ground at Kenilworth and upset the more fancied big guns with the smart Choisir gelding Sir Frenchie swooping late to win the R150 000 Fairview Wines Listed Sophomore Sprint.

With Gr1 winner Sand And Sea, and the very consistent Brett Crawford galloper Bold Respect dominating the betting boards, some punters may have missed the move to fit the headgear and return to the sprints for the Australian-bred Sir Frenchie.

Van Niekerk had Sir Frenchie some way off the pace set by Bold Respect and Woljayrine, and at the 350m the race looked to develop into a match between Sand And Sea and Bold Respect, who was galloping strongly in front.

Sadly for Dennis Drier and his connections, Sand And Sea had nothing to come when asked and offered no challenge as Sir Frenchie bounded up the rail to snare Bold Respect in the final stride to win by a short head in a time of 71,13 secs.

Sir Frenchie has 3 wins with 4 places from 8 starts and has banked stakes of R379 000.

An A$82,500 Magic Millions Adelaide purchase for Paul Lafferty from the Attunga Stud draft, Sir Frenchie is by Coolmore stallion Choisir (Danehill Dancer) and was the first winner for four-time winning Viscount mare Volando.

He was resold here on the 2016 CTS Cape Ready To Run Sale for R500 000.

The progressive Crusade filly Covered In Snow prevailed in a thrilling finish to the R150 000 Listed Swallow Stakes at Turffontein on Saturday evening to register a hat-trick and provide her sire with his first stakes win.

Regular pilot Muzi Yeni had Covered In Snow tucked up a few lengths off the pace and he sent her for home at the 200m. The Diane Stenger-trained speedster resisted the challenge of the good looking Frederico’s Dream, who had shown a lot of pace, to get the verdict by a head in a time of 66, 71 secs.

The first four finished within 0,55 lengths of each other.

Racing in the familiar Peter White silks, Covered In Snow has now won 3 on the trot – all over the 1160m – after finishing third on debut in October. She has banked stakes of R221 375.

Bred at Clifton Stud, Covered In Snow is out of the four-time winner Blue Nevada (Anytime).

A KZN Breeders Syndicate stallion who stands at Scott Bro’s, Crusade is a son of the now deceased Mr Greeley (Gone West) who left behind more than 60 stakes winners, a tally which included eight Gr1 winners.

Crusade is out of the top-class racemare La Traviata – winner of the Gr3 Victory Ride Stakes. This is the same family as Sun Teddy – the male line ancestor of outstanding US sire Damascus.

A well bred stallion who was a top-class Gr1 winning juvenile, Crusade has produced winners over sprints and further.

Sun Met - Top Twenty! Gavin Fights His Way Back

I I

Despite suggestions that the field for the 2018 R5 million Gr1 Sun Met would be on the lean side in view of the revised pure weight-for-age conditions, a capacity field of 20 has accepted for the big one on 27 January..

t seems that the prestige associated with having a runner in, and the outside chance of actually winning one of South Africa’s greatest races, has outweighed the deterrent associated with taking on the best on a level playing field.

With only 20 runners allowed to run, there were 22 hopefuls when declarations closed on Monday - and thus for the first time in some years, eliminations had to be made.

Initial concerns with changing the race conditions included suggestions that an 8 or 9 horse field would impact on the priority commercial consideration of optimising betting turnover. These fears were unfounded though and the pro weight-for-age lobby will be patting themselves on the back.

Under the race’s new weight-for-age terms, L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate hat-trick hero Legal Eagle and the 2017 Vodacom Durban July winner Marinaresco share top weight of

60kgs with seven other runners.

Legal Eagle, Marinaresco and the lightly raced Premier Trophy runner-up Last Winter currently share favouritism.

Twenty-five percent of the field are made up of the fairer sex, with only one 3yo in the shape of recent Gr1 Paddock Stakes winner Oh Susanna in the line-up.

Justin Snaith holds the strongest hand in terms of numbers with 5 runners. Mike de Kock, Candice Bass-Robinson and Brett Crawford have three each.

Brett Crawford and Greg Cheyne, who won the inaugural Sun Met in 2017 with Whisky Baron, team up with the 7yo Gr1 Champions Cup winner Sail South.

The barrier draws will be broadcast on Wednesday 17 January on Tellytrack from 16h15. Catch up with all the news in the Sporting Post Digest on Thursday!

International Management and Leadership Training for the Thoroughbred Industry

Met Makes History Phumelela Gaming & Leisure have announced that the Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) will be simulcasting South African racing for the first time.

IN an historic move they will be taking the Kenilworth 27 January meeting and includes the R5million Sun Met. Hong Kong will be taking Races 5 to 10.

“This is a major achievement for South African racing,” said International Executive Director John Stuart. “The Hong Kong Jockey Club look to simulcast only the major

meetings from around the world so one can see how highly they rate South African racing and specifically an event such as the Sun Met.” In addition, the HKJC have confirmed two of their journalists will be coming over to cover the build-up to the race meeting. Tellytrack

will be creating a special production for them in which one the presenters will include former jockey Basil Marcus, who is well known in Hong Kong.

Marcus is a seven-time champion jockey who settled back in Cape Town after the curtain came down on his riding career.

Closing date for applications: Monday, 12 February, 2018

SPORTING POST • FriDAY 19th - SUNDAY 21st JANUARY 2018 9

For many horse owners, the best means a large stall, deeply bedded, with a window or two for viewing.

Perhaps the best also means undulating pastures, an indoor arena for all-year-round riding or individual paddocks offering superb grazing. No matter what one might consider to be best, however, there are few minds that could possibly conjure the breathtaking beauty and world-class amenities of Val Du Lac Estate in the Franschhoek valley.

S

ituated on a private cul-de-sac road, the Val Du Lac Estate is idyllically nestled in an amphitheatre of mountains, yet less than 2km from the bustling winelands village of Franschhoek, renowned for its ever-expanding foodscape, internationally acclaimed wine estates and spectacular setting.

When the property was purchased in 2005 it was a wine and fruit farm, but the new owners were spurred by a vision to create a luxurious equestrian lifestyle estate and set about reinventing the entire property.

Vineyards and orchards were replaced with post and rail pastures and a state-of-the-art stable complex replaced the old farm buildings. A major landscaping plan placed the entire estate under pop-up irrigation and mature trees were brought in to create beautifully shaded avenues.

A new and luxurious main residence was also created.

Today, the architecturally elegant estate exudes a quiet splendour and is arrayed with a host of amenities designed for the 21st century equestrian. Aside from the main residence, a second residence, a manager’s house and a loft apartment along with several

staff residences, the fenced-off estate features a stable complex comprised of several high-quality buildings - and containing the mare & foaling Barn, the yearling Barn, implements barn, pump house and an automated horse walker.

The entire property gracefully sprawls 24.2 hectares, including 2 dams (with a capacity of 18 000 and 78 000 and cubic meters of water respectively), both fed by mountain streams. There are also 4 boreholes, one of which serves a water treatment plant exclusively for the various residences, stable complex and paddock drinking troughs. The water treatment plant has its own standby generator that ensures water supply continuity in the event of power outages.

Built in 2009 to the owner’s exacting standards (and spanning 977 sqm), the main residence furthers the splendour of the property. Balancing timeless appeal with a contemporary spirit, the view-embracing home comprises 5 en-suite bedrooms and a number of reception rooms, as well as a panelled library, a large kitchen with a central cooking island and cosy wood burning fireplace, separate scullery / laundry room and walkin pantry and an underground wine cellar with vaulted ceiling.

A beautiful home thoughtfully designed with excellent flow and a host of luxurious features, reception rooms feature gleaming parquet floors reclaimed from a salvaged historic building and all bathroom floors are marble. Several wood and/or gas-burning antique Victorian fireplaces radiate the family feel whilst an abundance of picture windows ensure that dams, pastures, sky and mountains are never out of sight.

Easy and elegant, a large L-shaped veranda is the ideal place to entertain guests and is complete with sliding framelss glass panels that allow you to enjoy the space (even in the rainy season) and to take in the glorious views across the lake to the mountains beyond.

A staff apartment / granny flat also adjoins the house.

Arguably the jewel in the estate’s crown, Val Du Lac’s equestrian facilites are excellent. The farm has been home to such top-class runners as winners Guiness, Imperious Star and Chestnuts N Pearls, as well as a great number of Gr2, Gr3 and Listed winners too numerous to mention.

The property’s pristine stable complex is built without parallel.

Here residents, both human and equine, can find creature comfort and respite after a long day in or under the saddle. As a part of the

complex, the mare and foaling barn (a roomy 1178 sqm) features 18 large box stalls and 3 foaling units.

Further features include a veterinary room, padded examination stand, feed room, as well as extensive hay loft. All this plus an office, workshop, laundry, staff bathroom and garaging for 4 vehicles. The complex is further appointed with a yearling barn (incorporating 22 box stalls), groom’s quarters and implements barn. A manager’s house and a 2-bedroom loft apartment also from part of the extensive development. Situated separately on the propery a further 4-bedroom residence, complete with landscaped gardens, spacious living areas and a beautiful veranda, sports beautiful views of the surrounds.

Marketed by specialist luxury real estate agency Acquire Africa for R83-million, the distinction of this luxurious property, and its investment potential, is unmistakable. There is ongoing increased demand for agricultural property in the Winelands, for lifestyle as well as for commercial use and the area recently achieved the Western Cape’s second best growth rate in residential property sales, behind the southern suburbs of Cape Town. The recent New World Wealth report identified both the Garden Route and the Winelands –

notably Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl – as emerging wealth towns, each with an estimated dollar millionaire population of 2 500.

It is therefore hard to believe that Val Du Lac, this epitome of gracious living, could be yours for the taking.

Though it could! If you want to live in a beautiful natural environment surrounded by towering mountains and nature reserves. If you want to enjoy some of the best equine facilities in the country, whether your passion is dressage, breeding of sport or race horses, or participating in exhilarating polo matches at the world class Val de Vie Polo Club only 20 minutes away. If you want to own 24.2 hectares in a valley renowned for it’s world-class cuisine, award-winning wineries and rare natural beauty If you find pleasure in spectacular views and magical sunsets. If you’re looking for the answer to country living within 45 minutues of the Mother City and 45 minutes from Cape Town International airport, then you have no choice but to call Val Du Lac Estate your home.

You’d hardly ever have to leave – and why would you want to?

A Week To Go!

The cost in the normal course of entry and acceptance to the owner to have a Met runner.

134

The 2018 Sun Met is the 134th renewal of the great race first run in 1883 as the Metropolitan Mile.

The first 'Met' was won by Hercules.

The cheque (in rands) which will be banked by the winner of the Sun Met on 27 January.

Every trainer wants to win at least one Met in a lifetime.

Six conditioners with runners this year are bidding for a first win.

They are Dean Kannemeyer, Justin Snaith, Candice Bass-Robinson, Glen Puller, Robbie Sage and Glen Kotzen.

Champion Sire of last season, Silvano (Lomitas), is the dominant Met Dad this year with 4 of the 20 runners – Marinaresco, Nebula, Elusive Silva and Nightingale. He has sired 4 July winners and his only Met score to date was Martial Eagle in 2013. Silvano has 19 lots on offer at the Cape Premier Yearling Sale this weekend, while his champion son Vercingetorix has 9 first crop yearlings at the same sale.

Stakes (in rands) earned to date by the Avontuur-bred dual Met runner-up and SA champion racehorse Legal Eagle (Greys Inn), who cost R425 000 at Nationals.

2 At three Mets apiece, the two trainers with three runners each in the 2018 Sun Met that lead the big race winner’s table are Brett Crawford (2003, 2015 and 2017) and Mike de Kock (1999, 2000 and 2012).

3

Australian-bred Whisky Baron (Manhattan Rain) won the 2017 Sun Met. There are three overseas bred runners in the field this year – Australian breds Heavenly Blue (Snitzel) and Oh Susanna (Street Cry), as well as Irish bred Cascapedia (High Chaparral).

WAYNE MARKS

There are five females in the 2018 renewal. The last filly to win the Met was Alec Laird’s Smart Call in 2016 – prior to her was Mike de Kock’s champion Igugu in 2012.

50000 The rand amount that will be earned by the Sun Met tenth placed finisher.

Justin Snaith’s Oh Susanna is the only 3yo for next Saturday’s big race.

She carries 51,5kgs.

Previous 3yo to win was Mike de Kock’s Badger’s Coast in 2000. De Kock also won it the previous year with a 3yo in champion Horse Chestnut. Both carried 51kgs.

122,10

The Kenilworth 2000m record time set by Mike Bass-trained longshot Bunter Barlow when winning the Met under 53kgs on 3 February 2001.

Lucky for some?

The only grey in the field is the Mike de Kock-trained Heavenly Blue, who wears saddlecloth 13.

The last grey to win the Met was Wolf Power under Jeff Lloyd in 1984.

Piere Strydom

It’s been an interesting journey for the young lad from PE, whose father enrolled him in the Jockey Academy without his knowledge all those years ago.

Undisputedly one of the best riders this country has produced, with approaching 4 decades of experience in the saddle and 6 National Championships to his credit, it is worth remembering that Piere Strydom is one of the most decorated of our active riding ranks.

H

e has a lot of respect for the new, young talent rising through the ranks and reflects that with a lot of jockeys now attached to stud farms or retained by big owners, it is increasingly tough as a freelance rider.

A lifetime in the saddle also means an assortment of injuries, which means he chooses his engagements with care. “When you’ve been riding for 37 years, something’s got to give,” he says ruefully. “There are some rides you can’t turn down, but I’m trying to maintain a certain level, but not overdo it.”

However, while he may not be chasing the championship, having achieved the 5000 milestone, he’s not going to make it easy for anyone trying to match it. He remains as lethal as ever and chatting after Thursday’s Vaal meeting, there is a hint of pride when he says that in addition to his carded rides, he’d got an additional 3 pickup rides on the day, of which two were winners.

Stellar Career It’s an incredible achievement to have ridden at the top level for so long. Is there any hint of weariness?

“I’ll tell you a secret,” he confides. “I never wanted to be a jockey. My dad made me go to the Academy. They said I had talent, so I persevered because I didn’t want to let my dad down. And when success came, I just carried on. It’s a tough game and it can be hard on the horses, but when you’re in the winner’s box, you know you’ve done your job.”

‘Success’ began on 29 September 1982, when Piere road his first winner at Scottsville aboard the Johnny Nicholson-trained Saadabad. It continued through to his milestone of 5000 career wins in the Selangor Cup on Act Of War on 22 November 2014, and has included riding the Pick Six, 6 SA championships and big race trophies, both home and abroad. It is a storied career of which chapters are still being written.

Given his stellar record, one does a double-take at realising Piere has only won the Met once, but he confirms with a laugh that it's true. It was back in 2003 on Angus, trained

by Brett Crawford for Plattner Racing. He’s also ridden

three seconds – including that agonising battle between Imperious Sue and North By Northwest in 1998 - three thirds and three fourth places.

Met history Piere had his first Met ride on the Stanley Greeff-trained Western Wind in 1988, when he finished second to Mark Anthony. “I was based in PE at the time and rode for Mr Scribante in the orange and white colours. My horse finished second, but Mark Anthony caned them,” he acknowledges. “I moved to Joburg in September or October 1988, that’s why the following year, I rode a Joburg horse.”

It’s something of a bittersweet memory for him as he rode Yardmaster to victory in the Queen’s Plate on 31 December 1988, and then finished 1.75 lengths 5th behind Fearless Streaker in the Met. “I won the Queen’s Plate and after the Met I got fired by Old Man Spies. I’d managed to lead in the Queen’s Plate because no-one wanted to go.

In the Met, they went a bit harder and it’s a bit further. I sat 4th or 5th and a horse ran in behind me,” he shrugs.

“I’ve been a bit stiff on a few.

I’ve often ridden Joburg horses and sometimes I feel they just need that left turn experience. If you go straight to Cape Town, it sort of just costs you that length or two. I’ve experienced that quite a bit with the Cape Guineas – when they’re young 3yo’s who are still learning and you suddenly put them around a left hand turn, it can affect them even more. I think if you ride a Cape Town horse, it is an advantage.”

One That Got Away Piere isn’t one to harbour regrets for missed opportunities, but he does name London News as one that got away. Having won the July on him in 1996, Piere was in Hong Kong for the 1997 Cape season.

“They asked if I wanted to ride him, but the Hong Kong Jockey Club are very strict about allowing you off.

And maybe if I rode, he wouldn’t have won,” he quips. “Douglas Whyte got the ride in the Queen’s Plate and from there ended up riding in Hong Kong.”

1998 delivered one of the most memorable Met finishes, when Piere fought out the finish on North By Northwest with Anthony Delpech on Imperious Sue. “I think there was a headwind. I had been tracking horses and it looked like I was going to get up. It was heads up, heads down, who’d won it. North

By Northwest was Ok, but wasn’t the most talented horse. But in those days it was a handicap and the best horse didn’t always win.

It was disappointing that the result went the other way.” But as with all things in racing, one has to take it on the chin.

If North By Northwest was one of the less talented horses to go close, is there a real talent among the ranks that didn’t quite make it?

“Gimmethegreenlight was a very good horse. The 2000m was probably just a little too much for him at that stage of his life – he was only three at the time, but he was a good one.”

Angus Met win Piere won the Met from the outside draw on Angus back in 2003. Some skilful riding overcame the draw and had them in contention by the time the field turned for home. When Set Afire made a break for it, Angus gave chase, running him down to win by 1.25 lengths. Asked for his recollections of the race, Piere says “In those days it was a handicap and he was nicely handicapped for the race. The race worked out well, he followed the right horse through and managed to get up in the last 100- 150m. I’ve been very lucky for Brett, we’ve had a good record together.”

Last Winter It was confirmed on 11 January 2018 that this year Piere will be on board Khaya Stables’ Last Winter and speaking on the last minute change, Dean Kannemeyer commented, “Look contracts have to be honoured.

Anthony has

gotten to know Last Winter and in a race like the Met we need things to go our way. But Piere Strydom is a man who knows his way around Kenilworth and I couldn’t have hoped for a better sub at this late stage.”

Since his Met debut in 1988, the ensuing 3 decades have seen Piere at Kenilworth faithfully every year with the exception of 1991, 1992 and 1997, so Last Winter is in very safe hands indeed.

“It’s quite interesting how it happened,” explains Piere.

“I flew back to Joburg with Anthony Delpech after Queen’s Plate day. At that stage he was obviously going to ride Last Winter in the Met, but he’s contracted to ride for Mary Slack and was going to ride Cascapedia in the London News Stakes. I hadn’t committed to a ride yet and Anthony said to me ‘please hold on,’ so when the filly won as well as she did and they decided to run her in the Met, that left Last Winter without a rider and I managed to get on. I did get offers on one or two others, but I thought it could be worth hanging around for this one,” he admits.

Planning ahead Known for his tactical and analytical skills, has he formed any thoughts or opinions on his chances for this year, particularly given the revised conditions? “A lot of people criticised Anthony for his ride in the Premier Trophy, but I can’t criticise that ride at all. The pace was on and he was stuck behind me on Black Arthur. Black Arthur was on the wrong leg and wasn’t negotiating the turn very well, so we were tiring and Anthony had to go round us.

He’s been criticised for not moving earlier, but it was out of his hands.

In saying that, the horse couldn’t get up to beat Milton and one can’t compare Milton and Legal Eagle, so he’ll have to improve a bit to be competitive in the Met.” “The L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate is run at set weights and going on that result, for the Met one’s still got to lean towards Legal Eagle, Marinaresco and Captain America.

I’m a Merit Rating man and believe you earn your Merit Rating. But obviously a horse that is still improving might also have a chance.

It’s a tough race at level weights, but I’m hoping as he’s lightly raced, that he can make the improvement.”

Piere hasn’t had a chance to ride the Dean Kannemeyer charge yet, but confirms he’s flying to Cape Town this Thursday to gallop him, “So I’ll have a little feel.” There is a subtle change in his tone as he says it, hinting that he is looking forward to the outing.

If being in the winner’s box is his definition of getting the job done, it’s clear Piere’s mind is already firmly on it.

Australian Suspension Opportunity For South Africa

F

They say every cloud has a silver lining and while a storm has been silently brewing in the international Thoroughbred trade, it may offer hope to the beleagured SA bloodstock industry.

or many years, Hong an international border and that the Kong has played an only veterinary facilities are at the integral role in the points of origin and destination, has Australian Thoroughbred meant that the HKJC has had to industry, supporting develop some pretty sophisticated their bloodstock sales, horse transport solutions, including racing and simulcast high tech transport protocols and programme, hosting quarantine facilities and even Australian horses and riders at custom designing horse boxes for international race meetings, as well the journey. as repatriating Thoroughbreds to Similarly to the South African Australia at the end of their racing model, the Hong Kong/China careers.

Initial trials built a centre for the equestrian were conducted using retired events of the 2010 Asian Games, racehorses and the first trial saw across the border in China, in the close collaboration between Hong Conghua district of Guangzhou.

Kong government officials as well To allow the site to be used for as Mainland China authorities and the 2010 Asian Games, Conghua horses travelling in government was established as an equine authority GPS monitored vehicles. disease free zone, recognised by There have been 6 successful the EU Commission. There were subsequent trials since pre-export quarantine requirements February 2016. in the country of origin as well as post arrival quarantine and horses were subject to the same pre-export quarantine on their way out. During the Games, the site successfully hosted 95 horses from 16 different participating countries.

All the horses travelled in through Hong Kong, travelled along the corridor to Conghua where they were based for the duration of the Games and then travelled back to exit from Hong Kong on their way out.

Hong Kong Expansion Shortly after the Games, the Hong Kong Jockey Club embarked on a large scale project to turn the site into a full-scale training centre with a capacity for up to 1200 horses, allowing the HKJC to expand its operations and, more specifically, its horse population. Site development works commenced in 2011.

Although the physical distance between Hong Kong’s Sha Tin and the new Conghua facility is not vast, the fact that they are separated by

In March 2016, the Hong Kong authorities contacted the Australian chief veterinary officer to inform him of the trial and explain the process, as well as setting out the ultimate objective of realising regular movement between the two centres once Conghua is operational.

However, in September 2017, the Australian government’s Department of Agriculture and Water Resources (DAWR) announced it would be altering the quarantine status of Hong Kong, due to the Jockey Club’s Conghua training centre in China becoming a part of the general Hong Kong bio environment. The change requires any horses travelling from Hong Kong to Australia to undergo a 180 days third country quarantine before being allowed access to Australia. This came into effect on 2 October 2017.

The reason for the suspension is that the Australian authorities want to carry out an assessment of the movement controls to satisfy themselves that they pose no risk to the Australian horse population. And until such time as an assessment can be carried out by them, the suspension remains in place and effectively excludes free travel of horses between Australia and Hong Kong and, by extension, mainland China.

Hong Kong ownership As horse numbers are limited by the space available at Sha Tin, Hong Kong caps the number of ownership permits per year. In anticipation of the Conghua facility coming into operation later this year, the number of permits has risen from 330 in 2017 to 440 for the current season and as Conghua develops, that number is set to increase.

In order to buy a horse, a Jockey Club member needs to have a permit.

Applications are made each year for the available permits and

as demand always outstrips supply, Additionally, the International a ballot is conducted to determine Horse Sports Confederation (IHSC) the allocations.

Uniquely positioned By happy coincidence, Hong Kong developed its interest in the South African market some three years ago, based on the quality and value of SA -bred horses. Of course, South Africa comes with its own basket of issues, thanks to African Horse Sickness and our export protocols, but the good news is that for the past few years, Hong Kong has been on board in assisting us in getting these ironed out.

Through his role as Vice-Chairman of the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA), HKJC CEO Winfried EngelbrechtBresges has promoted an organised approach in finding solutions to existing difficulties in international horse movement. With our African Horse Sickness issue and onerous export protocols, South Africa has been earmarked as one of the areas needing attention.

Global Sprint Challenge

The Hong Kong / Australian movement suspension needs to be unravelled at Government level and dialogue is taking place to release the deadlock.

However, the suspension currently remains in place and signs of strain are starting to show, as evidenced with the cancellation of this year’s Global Sprint Challenge Series.

The Global Sprint Challenge (GSC) series, inaugurated in 2005 to foster international competition between top sprinters from different international racing jurisdictions, includes Australian Group One races the Lightning Stakes in February and Darley Classic in November, and the Chairman’s Sprint Prize and Hong Kong Sprint at Sha Tin. With four of the 10 races scheduled for either Australia or Hong Kong, this makes them off limits for horses from either jurisdiction, resulting in the suspension of the series for 2018.

Mounting pressure In addition, Hong Kong Jockey Club officials chose not to attend this month’s Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale in Australia.

This poses a significant loss to the Australian bloodstock industry as the HKJC spent more than HK$16 million (A$2.6 million) at the 2017 January sale and had an even bigger budget for this year.

Engelbrecht-Bresges is quoted as saying that the Club would assess whether to attend other Australian sales on a “month by month” basis.

They may also consider withdrawing simulcast meetings from Australia, a rich source of revenue for Australian racing clubs.

“We’ve regretfully taken this step and we are not trying to punish the Australian industry, but there was no clear pathway or timeline,” Engelbrecht-Bresges said.

The coin toss of circumstance is two sided and while one side poses a challenge, the other offers opportunity for those willing to grab it. If an export solution can be found, South Africa will be well positioned as an interesting, as well as an economical, alternative to Australia as a source of bloodstock.

As they say, watch this space.

Great Days – Often Just A Party AND the band just carried on playing ….while the ship continued to sink.

A recent Australian blog described racing in SA as being on life support. It did not mention Kenilworth – but if it did it might have said that the disease in this region had metastasised.

I know more people that used to own racehorses or used to have a bet than those that currently do.

I gather that most of the many loyal and regular contributors to Sporting Post are in the same position.

So, we all know the problem – but what is to be done about it?

One such person whose heart is really in the right place, is Mrs Gaynor Rupert and her family owned company, L’Ormarins.

The L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate is a super day at the races. It is just gorgeous to see so many folk in blue and white and when that was in short supply, there was plenty of flesh on display. I believe that Mrs Rupert, with her quite substantial investment in horses, wants to see racing in SA revived. The LQP is a great vehicle to achieve that end by getting newcomers to experience racing and the excitement of placing a bet and winning a few bob.

Now, against that background, picture the scene at Kenilworth on LQP day. I was in the entertainment area where you had to have a ticket of sorts to get anywhere.

Anyway, there were lots of people around that were quite clearly first timers as far as racing was concerned. The main race is about to start: the field is loading: excitement should have been at fever pitch: and the jazz band kept on playing drowning out the on-course commentary and any TV (there were only a few anyway) that had the sound on. Nobody had any idea of what was happening.

I witnessed a young lady ask the band leader to stop playing for the race. She was told (very loosely translated) that this was a party and if she wanted to gamble she should go to a casino!

The whole point of the day

was, if I am right about Mrs Rupert, in that single moment, lost. The crowd carried on drinking and chatting and gave not a damn to the race or its result. I’ll wager a lot (not that I am a betting man) that not one of those first timers was at Kenilworth the following Saturday.

The devil is in the detail.

Mrs Rupert, I am really happy for you if you sold a whole lot more wine and exposed your Brand to a new audience but as far as promoting racing in Cape Town was concerned, well, I am not sure. I am always intrigued by companies that organise golf days for their clients and happily spend thousands on the day. Very often the golf day is a shambles because, in the main, its organisation was left to a person who does not play golf. Yes, use your lovely PR lady to organise the food and drink but the Devil is in the detail and that should be left to a person with knowledge of racing.

The band should be silenced when the races are run so that the atmosphere and entire excitement of the day can be felt by all with a view to encouraging more people to follow and participate in the sport.

But, fear not, the day was a party and while the ship was sinking, passengers were entertained to some lovely jazz music. The racing? Who cares? It was just a party on a sinking ship.

I fear that the Sun Met will follow the same route. Pity.

De Kock ‘Race Them Fit’

Sectional Timing What’s The Secret?

It’s high time that Phumelela, the Racing Association and the National Horseracing Authority come out of the closet and inform the racing public what the status quo is in respect of sectional timing in the various racing jurisdictions.

After years of rumours and internet gossip that sectional timing is on the table, the word is out that the archaic piece of equipment that resembles a 1970’s laptop and that is required to be carried by our racehorses has been rejected as outdated cumbersome technology by some Cape trainers. Our racing authorities have gone very quiet – after years of empty promises.

But what’s new?

The comedy of errors that has become yet another public relations circus for our racing fathers hit new levels at Fairview on Monday.

The official stipes report states: The sectional timing device became dislodged from the saddle of MIRACLE BUREAU (C Murray) in the running.

The sectional timing device became dislodged from the saddle of JAMAICA’S BOY (K Steyn) passing the 700 metre mark.

The sectional timing devices became dislodged from the saddles of GRAPE VINE (T Gould), AREZZO (J P van der Merwe) and OLYMPIC POWER (X Ndlovu) respectively in the running.

Thereafter in consultation with the Jockeys, the Racing Association and Phumelela representatives, the Stipendiary Board made a decision to terminate the use of the sectional timing devices for the remainder of the meeting.

The digital generation, who are the sport of kings’ future, could well be the beneficiaries of sectional timing – but can surely only see this strategic disaster as another reason not to get involved in a game beset by a lack of transparency and poor management.

The Dubai World Cup Carnival got under way at Meydan last Thursday and multiple champion trainer Mike de Kock declared himself pleased with the outcome.

L

“I am very happy. I think they will all win during this Carnival, there is good improvement to come.”

“Our horses are all between 20 and 30kgs overweight but they are the best, the soundest I’ve seen them. We didn’t have access to the turf track until 6 January and I didn’t want to work them hard on the sand or Tapeta considering all the injuries we and others suffered last year.

“We’ll race our runners into top shape - there are enough Carnival races and the weights will come down quickly. They’ve been doing slow work and treadmill exercise, but they’re lacking fast work and grass gallops.

“I’m really happy with their looks, however, and we have a string of happy horses. They will take a run or more to come to hand but hopefully come the last part of the Carnival we’ll have some good firepower - unlike last year when there were several problems to deal with at the end.”

Mike de Kock

ight The Lights finished only 5,50-lengths off promising Benbatl in the Gr3 Singspiel Stakes over 1800m, running on late and looking a happy horse.

Noah From Goa moved up well in a handicap over 1400m, just tiring late and beaten twoand-a-quarter into third, and Suyoof was just a further lengthodd back in fifth.

CTS’ Met Day Millions The CTS 1200 and CTS 1600, at US$500 000 apiece, are the highest value races on the Sun Met day card. At current rates of exchange, they are worth R6,1 million each, with the winner banking over R3 million.

THE two events are restricted to eligible graduates of the 2016 Cape Premier Yearling Sale held on 21 and 22 January 2016, the CTS March Yearling Sale held on 19 and 20 March 2016, and the Emperors Palace Select Yearling Sale held on 21 April 2016.

A maximum field of 20, which includes 9 out-of-province hopefuls, line up in the sprint.

Candice Bass-Robinson holds a very strong hand in the CTS 1200, with the top-rated colt Dutch Philip and toprated filly Magical Wonderland. Dutch Philip ran a cracking second in the Cape Merchants at his penultimate start, but was a well-beaten 6 lengths behind Bishop’s Bounty in the Diadem Stakes last Saturday.

Magical Wonderland loves the Kenilworth 1200m and was a runaway winner of the Gr2 Sceptre Stakes at her last outing.

The CTS 1600 is limited to 16 runners, with 4 reserves carded.

While Justin Snaith’s Cape Guineas placer Cot Campbell is the highestrated runner in the race, it is Joey

Ramsden’s progressive Var colt Talk Of The Town, who will have tongues wagging as he bids for four on the trot.

Anton Marcus is aboard again.

and Florida Derby winner, Dialed In. Mineshaft is damsire of Kentucky Oaks winner, Cathryn Sophia, and 2018 US classic hope, Enticed, and his offspring have earned over $54 000 000.

More Than Ready

P

Directly descended from La Troienne’s daughter, Belle Of Troy, More Than Ready (whose broodmare sire, Woodman, is another descended from the blue hen) continues to enjoy consistent success at the highest level and is also a successful sire of sires (through the likes of Sebring and Gimmethegreenlight) and broodmare sire.

One of the greatest shuttle sire success stories, More Than Ready looks to have a strong hand in the 2018 US classics with his son, Catholic Boy, and unbeaten daughter, Rushing Fall. The latter is one of five Breeders’ Cup winners for More Than Ready, whose son, Roy H, won the 2017 Breeders’ Cup Sprint.

Described by many as the most influential mare ever to go to stud in North America, La Troienne continues to make her mark today, through numerous high class descendants.

laced twice in seven outings for famed owner-breeder, Marcel Boussac, La Troienne, whose French Oaks winning ¾ sister, Adargatis, is ancestress of Kentucky Derby winner, Spend A Buck, spent her entire stud career, after fetching 1250 guineas at the 1930 December Sale, in Newmarket.

This proved a fair price, as she produced the outstanding racemare, Black Helen - who beat males to win the 1935 Florida Derby - and champion, Bimelech, who subsequently became a top class sire and broodmare sire.

The influence of La Troienne has been felt throughout the world, thanks to leading sires, Caerleon, Buckpasser, Private Account, Woodman and Pleasant Tap. Dual US Horse Of The Year, California Chrome - whose first foals are born this year - has a remarkable seven strains of this great mare. Descendants of La Troienne have won the Kentucky Derby four times –Sea Hero, Go For Gin, Smarty Jones and Super Saverand have landed the Preakness Stakes four times.

The influence of this breed changing blue hen is still felt in major races today. Elate, winner of both the Gr1 Alabama Stakes and Gr1 Beldame Stakes in 2017, is a direct descendant of La Troienne as is Dickinson who was victorious in last year’s Gr1 Jenny Wiley Stakes. Interestingly, both Elate and Dickinson are daughters of Medaglia D’Oro. Listed below are some of the main conduits for La Troienne in recent times.

Flatter, Congrats

The two successful own brothers, Flatter and Congrats, are descended from La Troienne through Big Hurry. Congrats, sire of Saturday’s Silverbulletday Stakes winner, Stronger Than Ever, was North America’s Leading Sire in 2010 and his offspring have included 2017 Indiana Oaks winner, Overture.

Full brother, Flatter, a winner of four of six outings, is the sire of

last season’s outstanding US 3yo, West Coast, a winner of six of nine outings, including the G1 Travers Stakes and G1 Pennsylvania Derby. The siblings are out of Mr Prospector mare, Praise, who is a granddaughter of former Broodmare Of The Year, Glowing Tribute. The latter is also dam of Kentucky Derby winner, Sea Hero, and G1 winner, Hero’s Honor, damsire of champion sire, Elusive Quality.

Bernstein, Sky Mesa

Now deceased, Bernstein left his mark on the breed through Breeders’ Cup winners, Karakontie and Tepin, and the former champion sire in Argentina is also broodmare sire of another Breeders’ Cup winner in the form of US champion, Champagne Room (Broken Vow). His full sister, Caress, is the dam of Gr1 Hopeful Stakes winner, Sky Mesa, whose 60 stakes winners include 2017 Gr1 Breeders’ Cup F&M Sprint runner up, Ami’s Mesa, as well as Gr1 winners, General Quarters and Sky Diva.

Bernstein and Sky Mesa, damsire of Gr1 winner, Harmonize, descend from La Troienne through Businesslike, who is also second dam of the champion and outstanding broodmare sire, Buckpasser.

Businesslike is also fourth dam of former SA sire, Complete Warrior, the broodmare sire of champion South African sire, Captain Al.

Meghan’s Joy

Closely related to Flatter and Congrats, the broodmare, Meghan’s Joy, was herself an excellent producer.

A stakes placed winner of four, the daughter of A P Indy is responsible for an impressive five individual graded stakes winners, Norumbega (Brooklyn Hcp), Ironicus (Dixie Stakes), Hunting (Stuyvesant Hcp), On Leave (Sands Point Stakes) and Quiet Harbor (Violet Stakes). She is also granddam of G3 Commonwealth Oaks winner, Onus (Blame). She

California Chrome is another descended from the great mare Glowing Tribute - who traces back to La Troienne’s daughter Big Hurry.

Super Saver

This former Kentucky Derby winner made a great splash with his first crop, including three Gr1 winners, headed by Breeders’ Cup Sprint champion, and Claiborne Farm sire, Runhappy.

Super Saver, who has some smart 3yo’s representing him in 2018, had another black type winner, when his son, Inside Straight, won the Cotton Fitzsimmons Mile Handicap this

weekend. One of two Kentucky Derby winners sired by Maria’s Mon, Super Saver traces back to the great mare through Baby League, with his close relatives including the outstanding stallion, Private Account.

Mineshaft

The former Horse Of The Year has a consistently successful record at stud and is also shaping up as a broodmare sire of considerable potential. The son of A P Indy is the sire of more than 40 stakes winners to date, including very promising sire

Farewell To A Flower

T

Top-class Litchfield broodmare Dancing Flower has been laid to rest in a patch of honour under the apple tree at the broodmare yard on the historic farm.

he dam of champion racehorse and Maine Chance Farms sire Victory Moon was the grand age of 30.

“It is not often one owns a mare who makes your dreams come true. She was still quite well in herself and happily spent her retirement out in the paddocks with three generations of her direct offspring. It is such a sad time for us all,” said Katherine Winshaw.

Dancing Flower produced Gold Bowl winner and champion stayer Kelly (Ethique), while her Al Mufti daughter Arabian Pearl ran second in the Gr1 Woolavington 2200. But her flagship was champion Victory Moon.

Described as a racehorse who

changed many people’s lives, the handsome galloper reaffirmed South Africa’s position on the world racing map with a win in the 2003 UAE Derby – and was a fast emerging and exciting sire when his life was cut short. A son of Al Mufti, Victory Moon died suddenly in 2009, while standing at Maine Chance.

Victory Moon was bred by Litchfield Stud and foaled in 1999.

He was out of Dancing Flower (Dancing Champ) and won or placed in 10 of 13 races, earning $2,414,974 in his career.

He raced for the Mad Syndicate and was trained by Mike de Kock The versatile international superstar won 7 races, including

Munnings

Promising Ashford Stud sire, Munnings (Speightstown) made his mark in 2017 as the sire of Gr1 Alfred G Vanderbilt winner, El Deal.

Munnings, also sire of triple Gr1 winner, I’m A Chatterbox, was a high class performer, who won a trio of graded races and was second in the Gr1 Champagne Stakes.

He is descended from La Troienne through her daughter, Big Hurry, with Munnings’ Gr1 winning fourth dam, Priceless Gem, also responsible for Arc winning champion, Allez France.

the Gr3 UAE 2000 Guineas, the Gr2 UAE Derby, the Gr3 Maktoum Challenge Round 2, the Gr2 Maktoum Challenge Round 3. He also ran third in the Gr1 Dubai World Cup and lost no honour when fifth in the Gr1 Eclipse Stakes, beaten 2.75 lengths by Timeform's Horse of the Year, Falbrav (TFR 133).

'I rate Victory Moon up there with the best horses I have trained,” said Mike De Kock at the peak of the colt’s career.

Geoff and Katherine Winshaw bought Litchfield Stud from Ken Mckenzie 27 years ago. Katherine recalls the surreal day she stood in the parade ring at Royal Ascot, within meters of the Queen.

“Dancing Flower was so special to us. She produced Victory Moon. From a small farm in Africa, he took on the world in England and Dubai. It gives everybody the hope and dream of one day breeding a big horse,” said Katherine.

Handicapped To Win

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

Members Only

Fairview 12 January They raced on the poly track on Friday where three of the afternoon’s nine races were staged over 1300m. The non-black type Aloe Handicap was marginally the faster of these and here victory went to the second favourite VEEIPEE CLUB. Soon up handy, Yvette Bremner’s charge was ridden to lead shortly after passing the 300m marker and comfortably accounted for the running on WHAT A PLAYER by three quarters.

They also ran three races over 1600m and stopping the clock in the fastest time amongst these was JUST TOO EARLY in the MR66 Handicap. Always one to run on stoutly from off the pace Gavin Smith’s charge finished best of all and won going away by a length.

Two of the three remaining races took place over 1000m and the quicker of these was the MR88 affair in which VARSITY CUP registered his fourth career victory from just twelve starts. At the head of affairs throughout, the Var gelding kept on doggedly at the business end of the race to hold off a determined challenge from the recent recruit from Gauteng SPRING STEEL. TITBITS Positioned at the back coming off the bend, TUBULAR BELL finished best of all in the short home straight, and got up in the very last stride to deny the more fancied CRISTIAN.

Picturesque Feature

735/1 Feature Race Double

Turffontein 13 January The listed Swallow Stakes for 3yo fillies over 1160m topped the bill on the old stand side track on Saturday and in what not surprisingly proved to be the fastest of the afternoon’s three sprinting events, the progressive COVERED IN SNOW completed a hat-trick. Now a winner of three from four, Diane Stenger’s charge raced in midfield early on. She put her head in front 100m out and after a thrilling tussle with the rallying FREDERICO’S DREAM (raced handy – led 450m), she only got the verdict by the narrowest of margins. Beaten just 0,3 of a length, third placed SAN FERMIN had to switch for a run at a crucial stage and was finishing best of all.

The girls’ affair was the faster of the two maiden events over 1000m and here the heavily supported favourite CARMALITA got off the mark. Soon a length and three quarters clear, Paul Peter’s charge kept on strongly at the business end of the race and didn’t relinquish an inch of her advantage.

They also ran two races over 1400m and in marginally the faster of these the Mike De Kock trained top weight ALILEO gained her third career win. Another to race from the front, the daughter of Captain Al ran on strongly over the final 400m and although DAME KELLY did cut her advantage in half, she did have that one held by three quarters at the wire.

TITBITS

Kenilworth 13 January By far the faster of the two 1000m events that got proceedings underway in Cape Town on Saturday was the opening maiden plate in which we saw an impressive performance from the lightly raced PACIFIC TRADER. Narrowly beaten by his useful stable companion PATA PATA when green in his only previous racecourse appearance, this son of Sail From Seattle was soon positioned close to the speed.

He put his head in front going through the 300m and only having to be pushed out won with authority by four and a quarter.

Surprisingly the faster of the two 1200m feature events was the listed Sophomore Sprint in which the easy to back SIR FRENCHIE caused an upset. Freely available at 15/1 on the off, Justin Snaith’s charge raced second last early on. The field was always very tightly bunched though and once given rein he soon began to make headway. He ran on best of all below the distance and in what proved to be a real thriller he got up in the very last stride to deny the front running BOLD RESPECT. The Snaith stable were also on the mark in the bill topping Gr2 Diadem Stakes when the lessor fancied of their two runners BISHOP’S BOUNTY suddenly bounced back to form. Easy to back TOP SPEED RATINGS at 45/1 on the off, the Western Winter for this WEEKEND gelding also came from off the pace.

(Ratings shown have already been He struck the front shortly after passing adjusted to allocated weights) the 200m marker and won going away by two.

FAIRVIEW (FRI) TITBITS Race 1: (1) Alfeo 9

Positioned towards the rear for most of the journey, SABINA’S DYNASTY won the faster of the two 2000m handicaps going away by three and a quarter.

GREENSTREETTRACTOR made up many lengths from the back when getting up very late to open his account in the maiden plate over 1600m.

Beaten just a neck, regular place getter COMMANDER BOND didn’t find the clearest of passages when flying up late to finish third in the MR74 Handicap over 1200m.

New Course Record Scottsville 14 January The easiest victory in Pietermaritzburg on Sunday was undoubtedly that of REDEEMER when making it two from two since relocating to the province in the MR83 Handicap over 1600m. Now a winner of three from nine, this full brother Captain America was soon up handy. He took command of a very strung out field going through the 300m, and cruised in by six and a quarter.

Four of the afternoon’s eight races were staged over 1200m and by far the fastest of these was the MR84 Handicap in which Brett Crawford was again on the mark when SUNSET EYES did the business. Sent off a strong favourite at 21/10, Sunset Eyes was soon positioned close to the speed. He ran on strongly over the final 400m and in a thrilling three way finish he got the verdict by a neck.

The only other distance to stage more than one race was 2400m where the course record was broken in the faster of the two by TECHNO CAPTAIN. Run in a time 2,46 seconds faster than that of the maiden event, this MR92 Handicap showed very little pace initially. Once Techno Captain took the bull

by the horns, so as to speak though, the small field of five soon became very strung out.

Indeed, he was eight lengths clear approaching the home turn and there was a good eighteen lengths to the horse at the back. ONE MAN SHOW raced second and Dean Kannemeyer’s charge did marginally strike the front 150m out. Techno Captain rallied gamely below the distance though and got back up in the very last stride to score by a short head.

TITBITS DAYDREAM BELIEVER didn’t find the clearest of passages when running on from off the pace to finish a three quarter length third in the girl’s division of the maiden 1200m.
