Time To Tussle

After a Cape summer season of mixed fortunes, Mike de Kock is back home and goes for a hat-trick of wins in the R250 000 Gr3 Tony Ruffel Stakes at Turffontein on Saturday. The champion saddles a decent trio of runners.

GOLD CIRCLE

Sir David Baird – better than recent form

Gr3 TONY RUFFEL STAKES at Turffontein this Saturday

Gr3 Tony Ruffel Stakes

he weights in this 3yo feature are structured with two-time winners and less carrying 53 kg, with an additional 2kg penalty for every win thereafter with a maximum of 57kg. Winners of Gr1 races (there are none in the field) get 3kg, Gr2 winners get 2kg and Gr2 winners just 1kg. Top of the ratings is the Bush Hill Stud bred Curved Ball gelding Seerite, who grabbed the attention when chasing Monks Hood home in a thrilling finish to the Dingaans. He won on debut and ran a cracking fourth behind Zen Arcade in the Graham Beck Stakes at only his

second start. This fellow has done little wrong! Piere Strydom partners Stuart Pettigrew’s promising Gimmethegreenlight gelding Surcharge, who won the Listed Secretariat Stakes over the course and distance last time out. A winner of 4 of his 6 starts, this goodlooking galloper is likely to prefer 1800m in time to come and looks a genuine class act. Anthony Delpech partners what appears to be the De Kock elect in the Teofilo colt, Yakeen. The promising Australian-bred has won two of his 3 starts by an aggregate of six lengths and impressed when beating Soldier On going away last

time. He has drawn on the paint. After his Dingaans no-show, his stablemate Pietro Mascagni got his confidence back with a smart Vaal 1500m Handicap win last time. He was earmarked early on. Sir David Baird was an emphatic winner of the KZN Guineas Trial at his penultimate start before fading out after leading in the Cape Guineas. He was scratched coughing from his last scheduled start and looks much better than his Guineas perfromance. Wonderwall was not persevered with in the Diadem Stakes after an excellent fifth behind Tap O’Noth in the Cape Guineas. The in-form Grant van Niekerk gets the ride. Mike Azzie’s Ideal Secret ran a fair

fifth in the Dingaans when staying on behind Monks Hood and caught the eye when beating the very decent Social Order last time out. The well-bred State Trooper has won his last two on the trot but takes a step up here. Purple Diamond has never recaptured his 2yo form and won’t enjoy the widest of the draw. The Puma and Huyssteen both recently won their maidens and ran fair follow-up races. The Tin Man has been consistent without appearing to have classic potential. Surcharge and Yakeen look the two most likely to fight this out. Seerite and Ideal Secret are above

Gr3 THREE TROIKAS STAKES at Turffontein this Saturday

De Kock The Key

The 3yo fillies take centre stage in the R250 000 Gr3 Three Troikas Stakes where Canford Cliffs daughter Fish River gets an opportunity improve on her course-and-distance winning effort last time out.

he power combination of Mike de Kock and Anthony Delpech team up as the Australianbred gets a serious opportunity to register her first stakes success. The weights in this event are structured on a basis that two-time winners and less carry 53 kg, with a further penalty of 2kg for each additional win up to a maximum of 57kg. Over and above that, winners of Gr1 races get 3kg, Gr2 winners get 2kg and Gr3scorers just 1kg. Fish River showed an instant liking for the increase in ground when beating Big Bang Theory in an MR 78 Handicap last time and well drawn here, she must be a big runner.

Her stablemate Takingthepeace is a three-time winner and showed an aptitude for this trip when running a decent third behind Big Bear in the Emperors Palace Ready To Run Cup. She won well just a matter of days ago and will strip fit. Mike Azzie’s Australian-bred San Fermin produced a terrific course and distance maiden win but when stepped up to the Gr3 Fillies Mile, failed to fire and ran 10 lengths off Folk Dance. She ran a much better race in the Swallow Stakes last time, when running on well under a length behind Covered In Snow. Grant van Niekerk is the form jockey engaged! London Secret was outpaced in the Swallow Stakes when running 5 lengths off. That was her first run as a 3yo.

Those look to be the chief contenders, with Fish River likely to face her major opposition San Fermin with high-riding Grant van Niekerk in the saddle.

Oh Susanna charges home under Grant van Niekerk

Sensational Susanna Snaith It took the family four decades and seven second cheques – and fifteen years on his own – but Justin Snaith probably couldn’t have scripted a greater Met icebreaking fairytale if he had written the chapter himself.

Gr1 SUN MET Kenilworth last Saturday

first Snaith Met win, the first 3yo filly to win the Cape flagship in over a century for Justin’s top owners Drakenstein Stud – and a chance to meet one of the globe’s sporting icons in the process. It doesn’t get too much better than that! Snaith Racing achieved their Cape summer season goal on a memorable day that incorporated a glorious Gr1 treble for the dream team. Victory in the Gr1 Cape Flying Championship with the less than easy-breathing soldier, Sergeant Hardy, was followed by a stunning victory by Drakenstein’s newest glam galloper Snowdance (she’s good!) in the Gr1 Majorca – and then the delectable cherry on the top by the fast improving Australian-bred Oh Susanna. Met day dominance has become a regular activity on the Snaith

marketing calendar, and they pulled off their biggest coup to date on Saturday with a smashing daughter of Street Cry. With the race being run at weightfor-age for the first time in history, the treble L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate champion Legal Eagle was widely expected to get third time lucky. But it was not to be in a race that saw plenty of tactical jockeying for positions early on. Stablemate to the winner, Krambambuli led Legal Eagle at a fair gallop, with Oh Susanna tucked up in sixth, about five lengths off the leaders. In the rush for home, Anton Marcus sent Legal Eagle down the middle as Captain America made his move slipping through the inside path. At the 200m marker Legal Eagle was being hailed a popular winner. and had them at full stretch as Oh Susanna and Marinaresco chased hard. The race changed complexion at the 75m marker as Oh Susanna hit

the front – with Legal Eagle on the skids with the needle in the red. As Grant van Niekerk commenced his victory celebration four strides from the line, Piere Strydom swooped as he launched Last Winter from a hopeless looking position 10 lengths back at the 200m, to get within a half length of the winner. The winner’s time was 123,50 secs in a race run off a muddling pace – but it wasn’t total slow motion. The times over the past five years confirm that – Hill Fifty Four (123,93 secs), Futura (125,38 secs), Smart Call (123,17 secs), with Whisky Baron the quickest at 122,71 secs. And despite the weight-for-age conditions, the two least experienced and progressive runners in the race finished in the top two places, showing that they are ahead of the handicapper at this stage of the game. Last Winter, as he did in the Premier Trophy, when beaten a head by longshot Milton, took forever to

get going but looks to be a major force in the KZN Champions Season. Dean Kannemeyer was also chasing a personal first Met win but would have been pleased with the smart colt’s effort – his wide gate probably the game-breaker at the end of the day. Marinaresco improved on his fifth last year to run a gutsy third, with Legal Eagle fading late to finish fourth and 1,65 lengths off the winner. Captain America, who was restrained just off the leaders, and only unleashed turning for home, was a quarter length behind in fifth, showing that he is not quite the powerhouse at 2000m. Cape Winter Series champion African Night Sky loomed dangerously but never went on with it and was a neck back in sixth. L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate runnerup Copper Force produced no kind of kick and ran 7,60 lengths back. “It was a rough race early on and I didn’t want to bustle her. I was

further back than I wanted to be but I knew she would give it to me late,” said Grant van Niekerk. An elated Justin Snaith said that ‘it hasn’t sunk in yet!’ “To win it for Gaynor Rupert and Drakenstein – and to meet Usain Bolt. Oh boy! I thought we were gone in the final 400m. She had a hard race early. What a great achievement by a 3yo filly. What a great day – I’m thrilled for all of us,” he added. The winner was bred by Drakenstein Stud 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. The good news is that Sharp Susan is in foal to Galileo and will foal down in late February. Oh Susanna has won 3 races – 2 Gr1’s – with 3 places from 8 starts for stakes of R3 773 375. Usain Bolt couldn’t have beaten her on the day!

Gr1 CAPE FLYING CHAMPIONSHIP Kenilworth last Saturday

Bernard Fayd’herbe keeps Sergeant Hardy at his task to win readily

rainers and their personnel had been urged by Phumelela to show some enthusiasm and efficiency with time-keeping on the big day in order to impress our Hong Kong investors. But we seem to have a mental block about Swiss efficiency in Africa and we note that by the third race, the schedule was already under the whip and running late – with no extraordinary incident attributable. But back to the speed climax of

the Cape summer season. After the enthusiastic 8yo Tevez had jumped the gun, the 17 horse field for the Gr1 Cape Flying Championship was reduced on restart through the late withdrawal of Search Party, Olympian and Mike de Kock star Naafer, who Anthony Delpech was unable to pull up. After pacing it down the inside with Bold Respect and Percival, it was apparent that Sergeant Hardy was in a galloping mood and despite some looming threats from the likes of Trip

To Heaven and Brutal Force, Bernard Fayd’herbe kept him focussed to win easily by 1,25 lengths in a time of 58,74 secs and give Justin Snaith the first leg of a glorious Gr1 treble. Trip To Heaven, who only jumped marginally slowly, came on strongly to grab his second consecutive runner-up cheque in this race. The smart filly Live Life had to be reshod at the start and despite that trauma she flew up for third, ahead of Brutal Force and Attenborough. Brett Crawford’s 3yo Bold

An Officer – And A Gentleman! A Gr1 false start on a major raceday with Hong Kong betting on our racing was not the ideal tonic for our racing authorities at Kenilworth on Saturday. But things ended well with the eventual tote favourite winning and saving a few punters.

Respect showed a lot of pace but faded out to finish 3 lengths off the winner. Despite his breathing issues, Sergeant Hardy continues to more than pay his way for the Foulkes family. This was his 8th win - his first Gr1 - with 5 places from 17 starts for stakes of R1 823 375. The now 4yo was knocked down to Glen Kotzen at the 2015 Cape Premier Yearling Sale for R450 000, but subsequently failed the postsale scope which resulted in the sale being cancelled. At the Ready

to Run Sale his right vocal chord remained paralysed, and a veterinary certificate to this effect was posted on his stable door. It was at this sale that he was bought back for R70 000 – an extraordinary price for a horse with an advertised defect! Bred by Normandy Stud, he is by deceased champion sire Captain Al (Al Mufti) – who sired the winner of the earlier $500 000 CTS 1600 – out of the four-time winner Hard Lady (by Hard Up), who also raced in Veronica’s vieux rose and white silks.

Cape Derby heroes – Richard Fourie and Eyes Wide Open

Gr1 CAPE DERBY Kenilworth last Saturday

The decision to give the Sun Met a miss and focus on the R1 million Investec Gr1 Cape Derby paid dividends for Chrigor Stud and the Woodhill Racing Team when Dynasty’s star son Eyes Wide Open charged to victory in the prestigious classic.

len Kotzen’s previous Derby winner Big City Life – it’s unbelievably been 9 years already – went on to win the Vodacom Durban July and the in-form Paarl conditioner will no doubt already be thinking on those lines as he sits down to select his KZN A- team in a few weeks time.

A winner of the Gr2 Peninsula Handicap at his previous start against older horses, Eyes Wide Open dug deep to reel in the freestriding Steel Rose, who grabbed a dangerous looking lead in the home straight. While not detracting from the win, the race was run at a dawdle courtesy of Greg Cheyne and PE raider Kimberley Star, who brought

them into the straight in slow time. Comeback kid Piet Botha seized the moment on Steel Rose and took up the 500m sprint challenge in the rush for home. The Glen Puller longshot continued to roll into the 200m with an upset on the cards. But that’s where Eyes Wide Open showed his ability and heart, as he moved up and went past the Gitano Hernando gelding to win going away by 1,75 lengths in a time of 125,62 secs. Do It Again came out the pack to grab second, ahead of another Kotzen-Chrigor runner in Pack Leader. Steel Rose enjoyed his moment of Gr1 glory, hanging on

doggedly for fourth. Cape Guineas winner Tap O’Noth finished well downfield, as did the promising White River and Mike de Kock visitor Like A Panther. An elated Glen Kotzen, who trained first and third here, and enjoyed a great day with a hattrick of winners, said the winner was a ‘magnificent colt’ and thanked the Hattingh family for their loyal support. “There have been talk of viruses. It’s been a stressful time. But the top horses always shine through,” he said. Owner Hugo Hattingh thanked his jockey and trainer: “We are so blessed. Eyes is back to himself after returning from KZN, when he

battled a bit. Richie (Fourie) rode a pearler. He is a man who always brings his A game to the races,” said the pleased owner. Richard Fourie was full of praise for the winner: “His star is on the rise – this is the closest you will get to Dynasty. He has everything – big race temperament, heart and ability. What a horse!” 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 is a dual Gr1 winner now with 4 wins and 1 place from his 8 starts for stakes of R1 408 375.

Bolts Of Blue

Snowdance cruises in under Grant van Niekerk

CHASE LIEBENBERG

With Met ambassador Usain Bolt’s helicopter landing during the R1 million Gr1 Majorca Stakes post-race interview, Grant van Niekerk’s chirp of ‘this one’s for you Usain, my man’ typified the confidence of a young jockey at the top of his game.

iding the crest of a wave and brimming with confidence in the Snaith team environment, and with his first Met win just under an hour away, the trauma of 2017, when he was booted from a good job with the Bass-Robinson team, and incurred a host of kamikaze-type interference sanctions, seemed a lifetime away. He is undoubtedly a jockey with a bright future, and a guy that horses obviously run for. And even a slight error of judgement, when overconfidently probably hitting the front a few seconds early on the keen-to-run and

highly vaunted Cape Fillies Guineas winner Snowdance, didn’t matter. Van Niekerk’s bravado and confidence, and the top-class ability of a filly that annihilated subsequent Sun Met winner in the Cape classic in early December, saved the day. Simply, Snowdance didn’t start a banker of the day and at 1-8 for nothing, and she really was too good for a field that included a year older Cape Fillies Guineas winner, a KZN Fillies Guineas winner and some other very decent – older – stakes performers. Always stalking the leaders, the goodlooking Snowdance drew off in the straight

and briefly hit a flat spot before drawing away to flatter her opposition with a 1,50 length winning margin – in a time of 98,2 secs. The Victress Stakes winner Star Express finally drew well and she stayed on gamely, ahead of a fast finishing Rose In Bloom under German visitor Martin Seidl. Silvan Star stayed on for well for fourth and 2,10 lengths off the winner. She was the fastest finisher and ran a cracker from a wide draw. Bred by Cheveley Stud, Snowdance, who races for Jack Mitchell and Drakenstein Stud, is yet another top-class filly sired by the late champion sire Captain Al (Al Mufti). She is a

full-sister to the Listed Laisserfaire Stakes and Lady’s Pendant winner Victorian Secret. Snowdance is out of Gr3 Kenilworth Fillies Nursery winner Spring Lilac (Joshua Dancer) - a half-sister to Equus Champions Bela-Bela and Rabiya. She has won 4 races with 1 place from 5 races for stakes of R1 566 000. A half hour later during the Met jockey class of 2018 introductions, all the riders were smiling and hugging each other while the photographers clicked away – except Van Niekerk. He chose Miss Universe Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters. That’s almost as easy as he is choosing his winning mounts these days!

Last Traces Of Summer

Richard Fourie gets Let It Rain to rally on the inside as Master’s Eye (Bernard Fayd’herbe) looks a winner

Gr2 CAPE STAYERS Kenilworth last Saturday

In his first season as trainer to Hassen Adams, the vastly experienced Dan Katz had plenty of reason to celebrate at Kenilworth on Sun Met day with his first Gr2 success , courtesy of the courageous stayer, Let It Rain.

he Highlands-bred son of Dynasty gave a lionhearted display in the 2800m R400 000 Gr2 Cape Stayers under the guidance of the astute Richard Fourie – who made all the difference. Formerly with Weiho Marwing, Let It Rain is a strong galloping front-runner who stays all day. But when Savage Wind was sent to lead to make the pace for his stablemate Fortissima, it provided Fourie and

Let It Rain the perfect small cover to lope along in second. At the 400m, Savage Wind had cried enough and Let It Rain was there to pick up the pieces. He was joined by Ollivander on the inside and the threatening Master’s Eye who swooped up the outside. With Master’s Eye looking a likely winner, Fourie got Let It Rain to lift and he came back with a big effort. The son of Dynasty rallied powerfully to beat the luckless Master’s Eye by a head in a time of

180,22 secs, with Ollivander still just a one-time winner a further two lengths back in third. The highly vaunted Johannesburg visitor Fortissima never got into the race and ran a weak fourth. A R1,3 million Cape Premier Yearling Sale purchase, the winner is by Dynasty (Fort Wood) out of the one-time winning Gardener’s Delight (Giant’s Causeway). That makes him a half-brother to 4 winners, including Equus Champion, Gr2 Godolphin Mile winner and present day Wilgerbosdrift sire, Soft Falling Rain. Let It Rain was registering his second stakes success and took his tally to 6 wins with 11 places from 28 starts for stakes of R917 888.

Due to the absence of clear distance markers and extreme variations in camera work, taking split times presented challenges. We are happy with the accuracy of the times, but the 400m times may be less reliable due to various positions on the course at that point. Due to poor camera angles we had to take some liberties with the stayers race.

Sun Met Visibly it looked as if nobody really wanted it early on, but despite that they still set oﬀ at a

fair clip. The gallop appeared reasonable throughout, until it slowed in the home straight (going not much faster than the stayers). The overall time on the day was a decent one.

Cape Derby the leaders slowed it up on the bend, where the ﬁeld became very tightly bunched,

before the predictable sprint home up the straight – clearly a false run race, where the ﬁnal result may not stand the test of time.

CTS Mile there was a lot of pulling going into the bend, and horses in the front rank were being held

back (Captain And Master & Undercover Agent); very slowly run early, predictably resulting in a sprint up the straight; the first three entering the home straight were the first three home - clearly a false run race, where the final result may not stand the test of time

Majorca S Pace setter Final Judgement didn’t break particularly well, but did then work very hard

early to get the lead; she opened up around the turn and went clear; as a result of this the ﬁnal 700m appears to be relatively slow, with Snowdance (who’d raced in 2nd) taking over at the 400m, but comparatively this was the fastest race around the turn.

Improving smartly on a fair debut, the one-eyed Australian-bred Traces got the Sun Met day feature programme off to a great start when he bounded home to shed his maiden ticket in the R150 000 Listed Summer Juvenile Stakes. As one-eyed horses are not allowed to race in Australia, his breeders Arrowfield race the smart looking bay here in partnership with Ridgemont Racing, and having learnt from his experience first time up when all of his opponents were down his blind side, Greg Cheyne rode a cracker and produced him at the right moment. After speedy Glen Kotzen-trained debutante Princess Elsa led the charge, Traces took command at the 200m, and went on to hold the promising PE debut winning filly Carlita, who grabbed a pleasing second cheque for trainer Alan Greeff. Traces recorded 59,39 secs for the 1000m in the South Easter and won by 2,25 lengths. The winner is by Arrowfield Stud’s record-breaking sire Snitzel, a son of Redoute’s Choice, who equalled Danehill’s seasonal record of 26 Australian stakes winners in 2016/17, as well as setting a new high mark for earnings and two-year-old winners, with A$16.2 million in prize-money banked, with 35 juvenile winners. Trace’s dam Traceability is an Australian-bred daughter of Charge Forward and a half-sister to 2002 Gr1 winner Premier’s Champion Stakes winner, Suntagonal. He has now won once from 2 starts for stakes of R93 750.

Fairview Merchants

Fairview Friday

Tara - Ms Merchants! Trainer Tara Laing has an extraordinary record in the Fairview Merchants. Besides having set what is thought to be a South African record in 2016 as a trainer saddling a top four for the same owner when Vauclair won at the expense of Captain’s Reserve, Black Toga and The West Is Wide, she also saddled winners, Vauclair (2014), Unannounced in 2015, Normanz in 2017 and Omega Onslaught on Friday. Tara has done superbly well to keep Omega Onslaught on the boil for an extended period and he put a small but quality field to bed in the style that suggests that he has plenty more to come. Heartland from the stable of Cape trainer Justin Snaith, was all the rage in the non black-type 1200m feature, but he was the first horse beaten when the whips were cracking. Ryan Munger rode a confident race as Omega Onslaught burst through late to win going away by a length in a time of 67,06 secs. His 7yo stablemate Exelero stayed on well for second ahead of Vous Et Var. The well-fancied visitor Heartland ran an 11 length last under top weight. The Klawervlei bred Omega Onslaught is a son of Jay Peg (Camden Park) out of the one-time winner Alpharhythm (Wolfhound). He has won 7 races with 14 places from his 24 starts and R473 575 in stakes. Tara Laing achieved a nice double when Keanan Steyn – who grabbed his own double – steered the well bred Street Gaze to win the next race in the Mayfair silks.

Michael Roberts Handicap (L)

Scottsville Sunday

Howzat!

Blinkers and ice-cool nerves by jockey Marco van Rensburg was the tonic required to get the promising Dynasty gelding Wild Wicket back into the winner’s enclosure at Scottsville on Sunday. The raceday held annually to commemorate the career of KZN racing’s favourite son Michael ‘Muis’ Roberts was headlined by the R150 000 Listed Michael Roberts Handicap run over the inside track 1750m. Marco van Rensburg dropped the newly-blinkered Wild Wicket out to last as topweight Celtic Captain led Sun On Africa and Fantasy Lady at a relaxed gallop. Inside the 400m, Celtic Captain had things his own way and continued to gallop as Red Chesnut Road took late and Wild Wicket was – almost casually – switched to the outside at the 150m marker for his effort. With Van Rensburg riding with composure and only his hands, Wild Wicket took off inside the 150m and flew late to collar Red Chesnut Road by a quarter length in a time of 106,31 secs. Celtic Captain ran a gallant race under 61kgs, looking a winner late and then staying on for third, ahead of Sun On Africa in fourth. Jockey Marco van Rensburg said that he had gone through all the replays of Wild Wicket’s races. “He has to be ridden patiently,” he added – as if we hadn’t cottoned on to that fact! Bred by Willempie Engelbrecht jnr, Wild Wicket is by Dynasty (Fort Wood) out of the four-time winner, Firstnightbliss (Jallad). A R2 million National Yearling Sale purchase, Wild Wicket has won 4 races with 8 places from 15 starts.

CHASE LIEBENBERG

Dutch Philip powers home under Grant Van Niekerk

CTS 1200 Kenilworth last Saturday

CTS 1600 Kenilworth last Saturday

The What A Winter colt Dutch Philip boosted his career earnings to over R4 million when he trounced his rivals with a storming late run to win the $500 000 CTS 1200 at Kenilworth on Saturday.

ith his highly vaunted stablemate Magical Wonderland all the talk after her sensational Gr2 Sceptre Stakes win at the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Festival recently, Dutch Philip was allowed to start at a generous 8-1 after his quiet Diadem Stakes effort last time. But the son of What A Winter confirmed his status as the officially highest-rated galloper in the field to score a terrific win under the in-form Grant van Niekerk – who won this race last year on Live Life for the same stable. With a first cheque of R3 734 375, it was a great race for larger-than-life Cape owner Marsh Shirtliff, who also has shares in the third placed Magical Wonderland and fourth-placed finisher, Sand And Sea. He and Bryn Ressell also own Undercover Agent who won the Kuda Sprint earlier. The CTS 1200 is 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. The race attracted a capacity field, but was reduced to 18 starters after two scratchings. Grant Van Niekerk had Dutch Philip relaxed early and he produced the gutsy speedster at the 300m with a sweeping run up the outside. Bernard

Fayd’herbe looked to be moving through ominously on the Snaith’s Kasimir down the inside, but they had no answer to Dutch Philip who went on to win by a half length in a time of 72,51 secs. Candice Bass-Robinson also trained the favourite, Magical Wonderland, who had every chance but could do no better than third, ahead of Dennis Drier Gr1 winner, Sand And Sea. Joey Ramsden’s Speedpoint was forced to check late as a result of Dutch Philip shifting in and ran fifth – banking the last stake of R149 375. Dutch Philip is a R460 000 CTS March Yearling Sale graduate and was bred by Rex Stud. He is out of the versatile fivetime winning Dominion Royale mare, Uppity Ann. He now heads for the Cape Classic at Kenilworth on 28 October. A dual stakes winner with a very bright future, Dutch Philip has now banked R4 140 850 from his 5 wins with 3 places from 10 starts. The astute Marsh Shirtliff, a part owner of the winner’s sire What A Winter, who also produced the Kuda Sprint winner Agent Of Fortune a half hour earlier, bought the winner’s full sister – named Scottish Alley – at last weekend’s Cape Premier Yearling Sale for R550 000.

The Captain Al colt Undercover Agent banked ten times his purchase price in just over 100 seconds at Kenilworth on Saturday in a race worth more in monetary terms than the Sun Met itself.

he $500 000 CTS 1600 is 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. The race attracted a capacity field, but was reduced to 15 starters after the scratching of boom colt Talk Of The Town, who will be out for six months with a leg injury. In a race where the top three were in front from the jump, Bass-Robinson filly Rings And Things went up to lead Tarry’s Captain And Master and the Brett Crawford-trained Undercover Agent. The latter pair were being hard held into the turn and the race predictably turned into a sprint for home, with Undercover Agent slipping through down the rail with a clear run for home. While Captain And Master dup deep, he was unable to reel in the leader who put his Guineas run in file 13 with a nice R3 734 375 cheque earned here for owners Braam van Huyssteen and Greg Bortz. He won by 1,25 lengths in a time of 100,16 secs.

Captain And Master bravely overcame his draw and showed a flicker of what his trainer says he is capable of – in the process banking R1 195 000 in second. The Querari filly Rings And Things stayed on nicely for the Ressell- Shirtliff partnership a further 0,75 lengths back in third and added R597 500 to their already handsome haul on the afternoon. The fancied Cot Campbell battled to get going in the 500m sprint but was not disgraced in a race that would not have suited him, in the process banking R298 750. The Burger-Van Reenen partnership trained Midnight Moonlight was a 4,30 length fifth and she took home R149 375 – more than double her purchase price. The Moutonshoek bred Undercover Agent is a son of Captain Al (Al Mufti) out of two-time winner Secret Risk (London News). A R325 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale buy, he has won 3 races with 1 place from 7 runs for stakes of R3 885 625. Beware of the form of this race – there is every chance it may not stand the test of time – excuse the pun!

KUDA SPRINT Kenilworth last Saturday

MJ’s Kuda Thriller After a few nervous weeks of concerns of a virus, the Milnerton combination of Vaughan Marshall and MJ Byleveld celebrated an early success on Sun Met day when first-timer Agent Of Fortune got the better of a duel with the favourite Cirillo to win the R350 000 Kuda Sprint. THE 1200m non blacktype feature is restricted to eligible graduates of the 2017 Lanzerac CTS Ready To Run Sale. Vaughan Marshall

indicated to the media that Agent Of Fortune was a ‘nice horse who had been in work only since November and was expected to need the run.’ The colt’s ability outshone

his lack of fitness and experience though, and when MJ Byleveld brought him alongside Anthony Delpech on the more experienced Cirillo at the 300m marker, we

had a spectacle on our hands – that ended unexpectedly! Delpech’s body language exuded confidence on the favourite, but his mount ran very green and shifted out under pressure, in the process carrying the Marshall runner out. A change of whip to the left by Anthony Delpech didn’t help matters and it was Agent Of Fortune who dug deep and got his nose down when it counted. Had he not won, an objection would

probably have followed. The winner’s time was 74,05 secs. There was 5 lengths back to the third horse, Rivonia Boulevard, a handsome grey son of Count Dubois, who is looking for more ground. The fancied Lucky Dancer failed to produce any kind of finish and finished just out of the money. Bred by V Kritzinger, the winner is a first second crop stakes winner for What A Winter (Western Winter) and is out of six-time winner, Sofala (Jet Master). He is thus a half-brother to the wellperformed six-time Western Force (Western Winter.

A triple Equus Champion and four time Gr1 winner, Agent Of Fortune’s sire What A Winter ended his first season last term with his 10 juvenile winners having earned R1 472 750 – which placed him narrowly atop the first crop sires list, ahead of European stars Oratorio and Twice Over. Agent Of Fortune is his fourth stakes winner and originally sold for R240 000 on the 2017 CTS March Yearling Sale. He banked R218 750 on Saturday for owners Bryn Ressell and Marsh Shirtliff.

SPORTING POST • FriDAY 2nd - SUNDAY 4th february 2018

2018 CPYS

Barry Irwin Reflects The 2018 CTS Cape Premier Yearling Sale proved an interesting event – both in terms of the prices as well as the buying bench, with an overall average at a shade over R500k and median prices of R300k for both colts and fillies.

otable among the top buyers were the Hong Kong Jockey Club, Amanda Skiffington, Angus Gold and Team Valor’s Barry Irwin, who made a welcome return to the CTS buying bench. Barry is renowned for cherry picking horses according to his ‘Colonel Sanders’ secret recipe selection process from an eclectic mix of international auctions and pedigrees. He has been notably absent from CTS for some time – what prompted his attendance this year? “I haven’t come for several years because I wasn’t comfortable with the CTS sales culture. When I heard there had been some significant changes and the promise of more to come, I figured things were moving in the right direction and wanted to show my support. I thought there would be some good bargains, which there were, and I believe in the South African bloodstock industry and wanted a hand in helping shape it going forward.”

Selections Barry purchased seven lots for a total of R3,2-million. His Day 1 purchases numbered lot 12 (Gimmethegreenlight – Fragrant Al), lot 26 Duke’s Daughter (Duke Of Marmalade – Heart’s Content) and lot 58 (Captain Al – Linda My Love). He elaborates, “By and large the pedigrees in South Africa, because they’re isolated,

lack international commercial value and are just not fashionable. Because of that, when a bloodline shows up that is fashionable, people go crazy and whether the individual warrants the bidding or not, people go bananas. But I guess they’re looking at something I’m not. Pedigree to me is nice, but it’s not why I buy horses.”

Buying An Athlete Asked to talk us through his selection process, Barry explains, “I buy individuals, not pedigrees. What I do is, my wife carries the catalogue and we go and look at all the horses. After we’ve looked them over, I may ask what a particular horse is by, but when we go back to our room and go over the selections, that’s when I find out what the pedigrees are. I would obviously like a nice pedigree, but for me, that’s a secondary consideration.” “What I’m trying to do is buy an athlete. At a sale like this, they’re well raised and in most instances, well presented. There’s nowhere else on earth I can go and get horses of this quality for US $25,000-50,000. In the USA, horses like this would cost five times that amount. There are some terrific looking horses here.”

What Caught His Eye “When I first looked around, there were three I really liked and about half a dozen I would have been glad to race. On the first day, I just

bought the three I liked.” He continues, “I’ve bought plenty of Captain Al’s over the years and hip 58 fit the mould. Of all the sires I’ve seen since I’ve been coming here, Captain Al gets the most American-like horse. I always gravitate towards them because that’s what I’m used to. I like Gimmethegreenlight a lot too.” “The horses I bought from this sale are all pretty much the same – not too big, not too small. They’re medium-sized, well-balanced horses that are well proportioned and walk well. There was only one larger horse, hip 12, a Gimmethegreenlight out of Fragrant Al. She’s going to be a big girl, but I thought she looked really good. She was a buy back that I bought out the back and Hassen Adams is keeping a leg of that one.” Barry was particularly pleased with his second purchase. “Lot 26 is a Duke Of Marmalade filly that I thought I got an incredible deal on. The guy that bred and sold her is a friend of Jono Snaith’s and asked if he could stay in for a part share. I said I don’t really want to sell any of her right now, it was just such a great deal and I want to think about it for a while, but in the end I let Anthony Peter stay in for half.” On Sunday, he bought lots 173 (Querari – West Coast Mama), lot 205 (Visionaire – Bint Susu), Lot 206 (Visionaire – Black Current) and lot 228 (Gimmethegreenlight – Country Girl). “Glen Kotzen asked me to look at a Visionaire colt he liked, and I found a filly I liked, which turned out to be by Visionaire as well. I was happy to buy them both because I own half the stallion and want to try and support him and I thought I got some really good representatives, especially the colt. While I was there, I wound up buying two more lots – a Gimmethegreenlight and a Querari because they were going so cheaply.”

Value for Money Barry is highly enthused about the value on

offer on the local market. “I get so excited here. There’s no place else I can get quality like this at these prices. People here get down on horses too quickly. Take Var for example. He had some beautiful individuals that were just being given away – I don’t get it. I know Jooste was one of his biggest supporters, and I suppose him not being there hurt their average, but there were some terrific ones selling for peanuts.” Barry’s purchases will all stay and race in South Africa, with the majority earmarked for Snaith Racing and the Visionaire filly and colt going to Mike Robinson and Glen Kotzen repectively.

Overview There has understandably been a lot of apprehension and tension about Markus Jooste’s dramatic exit – how did he gauge the overall mood? “I think it was a perfect storm type situation in that Hong Kong had a very good reason to come here, based on what’s going on with their relationship with Australia, so the timing couldn’t have been better and helped the upper market.” “From my perspective, the mood at the sale was buouyant. Everyone was talking about the elephant in the room of course, but people were happy to be there, and overall the mood seemed to be positive and optimistic for the future.” “With some of the big players gone, there was an expectation that it would hurt the aggregate, but not the median. I predicted that if there was an accurate way to adjust the numbers of the past two years to take out the Jooste impact and then compare it with what happened this year, I think the figures would look pretty accurate.” “I think there were other people like me, who had been sitting on the sidelines who have been encouraged to come back now that the playing field is a little more straightforward and I think that’s a really hopeful sign.”

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.

Snaith Racing

MET Masterpiece

When Justin Snaith won a record breaking 8 races on Met day 2016, in his podium speech after Baritone’s win in the last of the afternoon he stated he’d gladly swap the eight wins for a victory in the Met, resolving to apply himself even harder. It took him two years, but on 27 January 2018, he did it, not only winning the Sun Met with Oh Susanna, but saddling five winners on the day, including three Gr1’s. With Justin taking a well-deserved break, his brother Jono gave us a bird’s eye view of ‘Snaith day’.

irst and foremost, the win came thanks to an enormous amount of dedication and selfsacrifice from Justin. “Justin has put a lot of effort in – more so than I’ve ever seen,” says Jono. “He does everything himself, even driving the horses to the beach. He’s had to sacrifice a lot with his family – and his young daughter in particular - to have the day we wanted. I’m just glad it paid off.”

New Approach In December last year, Justin announced a new strategy for this season – and it’s one that’s paying dividends. Jono explains, “It wasn’t anything specific, Justin just changed his approach for the Cape season. In the last two years we went flat out from the first bell and although it was successful, by Met day the horses were tired, so this year we decided to take it easier. We were a lot more forgiving at home, we didn’t run the horses often and when we did run them, it was to bring them along. It was purely a less is more approach. And the results are here,” he smiles happily. This year’s Met card showed evidence of a more disciplined approach, with notably only a single runner in the Summer Juvenile Stakes – usually one of their major targets - and rather than the volume of runners of years past, they noticeably opted for quality over quantity. “Because Justin is so competitive, he always wanted our 2yo’s to win first time out, which required a lot more hard work into those early races and attention from the handicapper. We haven’t run many 2yo’s this season, which we think will be a positive later on.” “On L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate day, we ran more horses than we might have wanted to, but we got a call from the NRB asking to help fill races and we try and help Kenilworth where we can.”

WFA Jono was a proponent of changing the Met to Weight-For-Age, campaigning via the Industry Liaison Committee for the switch. “The July is a sensational race, but it’s a handicap and therefore it’s seldom the best horse that wins it. Pure WFA encourages the

best horse to win and we want the best horses to win our best races. It took a hard 6 months’ slog, but we got it through. Funny enough, at the time, Justin said, ‘do you realise, you’ve just cost me the Met?’ I said I still believed it was the right decision for racing in the long term, but as it happened, we supplemented Oh Susanna late and the pure WFA suited her, but I think even with an extra 2kgs she would have won,” he states confidently. “If you look back at the results, Legal Eagle is the best miler and he won the Queen’s Plate and we think Oh Susanna will be a superstar in time to come and I think in both cases, the best horse won on the day. It’s a good result for racing.”

Smooth Prep “We’ve had such a good vibe in the yard this season and Justin was so happy with the horses and the team, the day couldn’t come soon enough. The strategy paid off. We’ve never brought such a robust group of horses to the course and I’ve never seen Justin that confident.”

How the day unfolded After saddling first two past the post in the day’s opener, Sergeant Hardy opened the throttle in the Cape Flying Championship, bringing home the trophy for Veronica Foulkes and her son, Oscar. “It couldn’t happen to nicer people,” says Jono. “Sergeant Hardy cost R70k and look what he’s done. He’s all heart. It

shows you don’t have to spend millions to have some fun. It’s a lovely story for them and for all the small breeders. In fact, you have to give Vaughan Koster a mention here too for Snowdance – what he does off a small base is phenomenal – Legislate, Bela-Bela, Snowdance – for us, he’s been frighteningly good. Well done to him as well.”

Confident “When Snowdance won the Majorca, we were walking off the podium and Justin turned to me and said, “I’m telling you, the way she won, this year we’re winning the Met. And he was right. He was so confident in his team of horses – he knew one would do it for him, he just didn’t know which one. They were so hard to separate and they all had a winning plan.”

The Met The Met is a race everyone dreams of winning. “But you can only win with one horse,” reflects Jono. “We would love each and every one of our runners to have won it and if things had been different or the race was run on any other day, the result could as easily have been different, but it was Oh Susanna’s day. Even so, it was our other clients who were the first to congratulate us and the camaraderie made it extra special.” It’s been a long slog. How does it feel to finally have that trophy in their stable? “Even though we got hit by champagne from Grant, no-one felt a thing!” he jokes. “We’re just glad to be part of history, but Justin is the real star. He’s dedicated himself totally to the horses. Everyone knew how important this day was. I’m glad it paid off.” It was particularly special to bring home a Gr1 double for Drakenstein, with the Majorca Stakes as well as the Met. “From a Drakenstein perspective, what they put in, is what they get out. What Gaynor does for Kenilworth and South African racing in terms of marketing our brand internationally, as well

as running the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate, is such a big asset to the South African product. We are so lucky to have her and it’s just nice as an industry to give her something in return with the big wins. I think Saturday will be one of the most memorable days of her life and something she’ll treasure for a long time. What is even more special is that her children flew in specially for the Met and her whole family were there, including Johann, who picked Oh Susanna as something special after the Fillies Guineas. He wasn’t focussed on Snowdance, but on the horse that flew up from last to run second. He said, ‘That’s the one.’ And how right he was. A month later she won the Paddock Stakes and then the Met.” Noting that Justin has a knack with fillies, Jono quips, “Even at school! Look at his record: Dancer’s Daughter, Captain’s Lover, Ebony Flyer, Bela-Bela and now these two. I think the handicapper will have their hands full trying to rate these two this week. I’m not sure they’ll meet again – they’re each specialists over their distance – but if they ever did, it would be a helluva race.”

Grant “He’s amazing and is riding with so much confidence. With Justin and my dad both being competitive riders, good hands are very important to them and Grant has beautiful hands and is very forgiving with horses. He gives them their heads, drops them in and settles them and that’s really important for us.”

Team Effort Jono pays credit to their support team and even the lead horse gets a mention. “We’ve got a fantastic team at home. On race day we’ve got my mother in the stables out the back, checking on all the horses and managing Royal Bounty, who is our lead pony” (for those who missed it, Sue painted a silver lightning bolt onto Royal Bounty’s hindquarters in

homage to Usain Bolt). “Our Derby runner is a good example. Do It Again is a bit of a stressy horse and him and the lead pony are best mates, even at home. He doesn’t go anywhere without his mate. He really helped on Saturday, but Royal Bounty is worth his weight in gold. You’ll see my dad on him every morning at the track. If any horse has an issue, my dad just trots up on Bounty and sorts it out. He’s also one of the soldiers in the yard.” Last, but not least, he pays tribute to their fantastic team of grooms. “Our guys really are world class. I’ve been to the best farms in the world and I think people underestimate how good our grooms are. The likes of Patrick and Jabu who come to the course with us – each one of them could be trainers in their own right. It’s a team effort the whole way through.”

Wholesale support Commenting on the vocal crowd support around the podium Jono says the regular punters love Justin because he is always so open about his runners – “and they clearly made a lot of money’, he quips. But he’s quick to mention that it was support closer to home that really made the day. “We have an amazing group of owners in the yard, who are the most important part of our team. They are the reason for our success and we could not do what we do without the support from every one of them. Although we had multiple clients with horses in the Met, they were the first to come and congratulate us and were amazing in their support.”

Organisation “I think the sponsors Mumm and Sun International have done a good job in giving the Met a fresh look and feel. Brandhouse did an amazing job for 39 years and it’s not easy stepping into J&B’s boots, but I think they’ve done a sterling job and should be proud of themselves.” “People also don’t know how much time and effort Ken Truter and Lyndon Barends put into making the day happen and I must say thanks to them for the way they dealt with everything to ensure the day ran smoothly.” Would it be possible to compare 2016 to 2018? “If you had to ask how the two compare, although one is a world record and will always be close to Justin’s heart, I’d say this year would be a hard day to top. I think this was just extra special and will probably be the best day of his career.” Never ones to think small, they are already focussing on the future. “When the export protocols are sorted out, our goal is to win a Gr1 race at Ascot with a South African horse, South African jockey and South African owner. That’s our dream. And hopefully one day we can make it a reality for South African racing.”

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 2nd - SUNDAY 4th FEBRUARY 2018

These days, a thirteen race card fills me with dread, rather than anticipation. Particularly with a new outfit for the ‘style ahead of the field’ Afro chic theme and a brand new pair of shoes that I hadn’t had time to break in yet.

owever, we’d procured our accreditation and after the to-ing and fro-ing that entailed, we weren’t letting go of them for toffee. We were off to the Met! It is something of a mixed blessing that it is noticeably easier to get to Kenilworth on Met day these days. With possibly less traffic than one would encounter on a mid-week afternoon, we turned into Rosmead, parked our trusty vehicle and immersed ourselves in Met Day 2018.

Cheers

While there is a lot to be said for anonymity, it’s also great to spend time ‘where everyone knows your name’. Although being a Met regular means it’s harder to get away with throwing one’s name away these days, it is nice to bump into familiar faces and we hadn’t made it through the gate before seeing some old friends who were managing the hospitality areas for the day.

Look And Feel

When Sun International first announced their sponsorship, I got a little nervous after attending the launch function. However, Sun have been restrained and subtle in their approach and it is paying off handsomely. They have sensibly taken their lead from the tried and tested Queen’s Plate template and simply added their own dressing to make the day their own. There were flashes of glitz, but the flourishes served to accent and highlight, rather than dominate and the racing remained reassuringly centre stage. The crowd was small, but elegant and purposeful. It was also very cosmopolitan and perhaps thanks to the corporate support, felt smart and grown-up (gone my teenage days of jostling for space on the front apron and sitting cross legged on the grass sharing vodka spiked watermelons with fellow racegoers).

Theme

The bright, but not garish colour scheme is gentle and inviting, the Afro chic theme worked well and from a layout point of view, like the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate, they had set out a corporate lounge area across the chute in the picnic area of old. There were also a few refreshment stands available, including the attractive Jameson tent and some very friendly staff manning a liquid refreshment stand, who dished out ice cold beer with a smile. The dress theme worked well and while there were many first timers, people were interested in the racing and the punters mingled well with the lookers, the onlookers and party folk. The layout created an atmosphere, while ensuring you never felt you were in danger of getting crushed. The separate entrance and exit lanes across the chute were also a winner to help get people efficiently

where they needed to be. The course was dressed with flowers and the odd flourish here and there – such as the new winner’s enclosure which I thought worked well as well as a smart new podium. However, other than that, they went for a less is more approach, leaving the hospitality tents on the infield to provide most of the aesthetics.

The Racing

The Snaith yard gave warning of what was to come, kicking off the card by bringing home the first two past the post in the South African Hall Of Fame FM 84 Handicap powered by Samsung (otherwise known as the first race). Brett Crawford added another strike for Philippi with Traces in the Summer Juvenile Stakes – outgunning the somewhat infamous PE visitor, Carlita, by 2.5 lengths. Grant van Niekerk swung into action in the CTS 1200, to bank $500,000 for the Basses on the classy Dutch Philip. There was perhaps a bit of karma in the victory of Undercover Agent, as his nursery has felt the freeze from certain quarters in days gone by, but with changes afoot, victory was sweet indeed.

The Wrath Of The Gods

While our sales race gladiators got name panels on their number cloths, the Gr1 Cape Flying runners did not and perhaps it was tempting the wrath of the racing gods that put a spanner in the works of the Met day sprint. Two horses failed to pull up after the false start and another bolted the course shortly afterwards, reducing the field to 14. However, it’s quality rather than quantity that counts and the dependable Sergeant Hardy ran his little bay heart out for a well-deserved

2018 Sun Met Debrief

first Gr1 victory and the first of the day’s three Gr1 scalps for the Snaiths. There is always a quality turn out for the Cape Derby and this year was no exception. However, Glen Kotzen trained Eyes Wide Open was too good for them on the day, winning by 1.75 lengths for an ecstatic Richard Fourie.

Snowdance, Snowdance, Snowdance

There was again, a wonderful class of fillies for the Gr1 Majorca Stakes, but there was only ever going to be one winner and Snowdance duly blew them all away under a focussed ride from Grant van Niekerk, posting his third win of the afternoon. We were still dispensing with the post race preliminaries when a sleek black helicopter landed in the middle of the track, dropping off Chief Entertainment Officer, Usain Bolt. I was curious to see what he was like in the flesh and can confirm that he is as charming as he is gracious. After briefly addressing the crowds from the podium, his entourage accompanied him up the track, through the chute to the parade ring, shaking hands and signing autographs as he went. He proved a gracious host during the Met jockey introductions, gamely signing, amongst others, Corne Orffer’s skull cap cover. Nicely done.

The Race

A big race, well any race really, is a nerve-wracking event. You want everyone to win, but that’s not the way life works. The best one can hope for is a noble and true run race and pray that everyone gets home safe. The gates crashed open to a quiet reception - the roar from the crowd seems to be a thing of the past. Krambambuli kept them

honest in the lead, Captain America finish with Bernard Fayd’herbe and loomed dangerously over his inside delivered a first Met day victory for shoulder and Legal Eagle took his Dan Katz. Justin grabbed a 5th usual position just off the vanguard, winner for the day with Hotel Cipriani poised to strike. It was anybody’s and Glen Kotzen and the Woodhill race coming into the straight. Captain team mopped up the last two of the America stole a march down the afternoon. inside, Anton posed the question and As the sun disappeared behind Legal Eagle took flight and our hearts the mountain, people started with him. Marinaresco gave chase, making their way home, massing for African Night Sky challenged. And the after party, or gathering in knots then, unbelievably, Oh Susanna found to reflect on the day’s events. As wings of her own. And just when we always, there were hidden gems of couldn’t stand it anymore, from the friends and family – new and old clouds Last Winter bolted from the – to be discovered and chats that blue. The race offered everything and lingered long into the night. Best of the filly took it all and raised it. all, my new shoes held up – result ! Heroics, heartbreak and euphoria Disaster management – and, ultimately, a new hero – or in The threatened strike action was this case, heroine. You’d have to go far to find all of that crammed into diffused and the solidarity march was conducted in a peaceful and two minutes. Huge congratulations to the orderly fashion as promised. While Snaiths, to Grant and to the congratulations are to be offered all Drakenstein team on their first Met round for the – fortunately successful 11th hour trophy. It’s hard to The best one can hope scrambling that saw put into words the an unseemly and time, the effort, for is a noble and true entirely unsubtle the blood, sweat, number of horses run race and pray that tears and above hands all the horses and everyone gets home safe changing in the last week, the hard-earned including Brutal lessons that got them to the podium on Saturday – congratulations to you Force who registered new ownership all and thank you for an unforgettable on the very eve of the race as well as spectacle that will have us all talking three scratched as late as Saturday morning, one hopes that some for generations to come.

Nature abhors the Cape Stayers’ a vacuum, so you can rest assured, a new challenge will emerge to take its place soon enough. The ins and outs of the current stew are for wiser and more considered heads to unravel, but I’m a fan of the mantra that if you lose, you shouldn’t lose the lesson. If we are honest, last week’s debacle showed in stark relief that we do not have sufficiently robust processes, wit or the lateral thinking required to deal adequately with a situation of this nature. While that is regrettable, it does offer some opportunities to grow and to improve. If we are smart, our decisions makers will take a long, hard look at exactly how and why we got into the situation in the first place and hopefully look at putting measures in place to ensure the next time it happens – because it won’t be long – we have some tools to help ourselves. Maya Angelou said ‘Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better’. The last few months – if not years - have handed us an extraordinary learning opportunity. Now that we know better, here’s hoping we learn to do better.

Snaith's Gr1 Dominance

Justin Snaith crowned his best racing day in over 15 years at Kenilworth on Saturday and looks set to chase the R19,4 million gross stakes achieved when he was crowned SA Champion trainer in the 2013/14 season.

ith the halfway mark of the season upon us, the Snaith team are currently on R14,7 million and over R6 million ahead of their nearest rival Sean Tarry on the SA Champion trainer table. The compact Cape Summer Season lasts just under two months and hosts 8 Gr1 races. Snaith won 5 of those. He got the ball rolling early in December when the Cheveley Stud bred daughter of Captain Al Snowdance powered home under Bernard Fayd’herbe to beat stablemate – and subsequent Paddock Stakes and Met winner - Oh Susanna, in the Gr1 Cape Fillies Guineas The Drakenstein Stud owned and bred Oh Susanna, a daughter

of Street Cry, then won the Gr1 Paddock Stakes on day one of the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Festival of Racing in early January. Three weeks later she took on the boys and duly won the Gr1 Sun Met in style – the first 3yo filly to achieve the feat in over a century. Not to be outdone, Snowdance came out on the same afternoon and paralysed her field to add the Gr1 Majorca Stakes title to her fast growing list of titles. The Snaiths third Gr1 success of Met day came courtesy of yet another progeny of Captain Al in Sergeant Hardy, who went almost gun to tape to win the Gr1 Cape Flying Championship. With well documented breathing issues, the Normandy Stud – bred gelding runs mainly on a massive heart and has

jet engines behind him. All that was left to Snaith’s colleagues was the Gr1 Cape Guineas, won in style by Captain Al’s son Tap O’Noth, who failed to deliver in the Cape Derby on Saturday. He still looks a very decent prospect up to a mile. The Gr1 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate was won for the third year running by the Avontuur-bred superstar Legal Eagle, a son of Greys Inn, who ran fourth in Saturday’s Sun Met. The Gr1 Cape Derby was won by Glen Kotzen’s Highlands Stud-bred Eyes Wide Open, a son of Dynasty. The season ends on 24 February with the running of the Gr3 Prix Du Cape and the non black-type Cape Mile.

BSA & Emperors Palace Forge Ties The forging of winning partnerships is the key to sustaining and growing the sport of horseracing in the future and it is great news that Emperors Palace has announced the renewal of a three year partnership with Bloodstock SA Emperors Palace, the awardwinning hospitality and gaming resort, has played a key role in sales support and race sponsorship in partnership with South Africa’s leading Thoroughbred Auction House, Bloodstock South Africa (BSA). Bloodstock South Africa, is the Sales division of the (TBA) Thoroughbred Breeders Association of South Africa, which represents all Thoroughbred Breeders in South Africa and was established in 1920. “We are honoured to once again have our brand associated with

Bloodstock South Africa. Emperors Palace has been involved with some incredible horseracing events and we feel it is a natural choice for us to raise our hand in partnering with BSA”, commented Bob Yearham, Peermont Chief Operating Officer for Gaming. Michael Holmes, Bloodstock South Africa’s CEO said: “It is tremendous to be renewing our partnership with Emperors Palace, and to be strengthening the wonderful relationship that we have with Bob and his team at Emperors Palace.”

11 Wins & Counting! The 7yo Kahal gelding London Call clocked up his eleventh win from 5 places and 19 starts when he won the non black-type R125 000 Marula Sprint for the second year running at Scottsville on Sunday.

I attended what must be my 35th Met at Kenilworth on Saturday and left disappointed, writes a lifetime punter and selfadmitted ‘victim for the game’, The Met has always been the one day the punter, the social elite and fashion set can join hands to have a great day out – and savour the very best that horseracing has to offer. But on Saturday it just didn’t work for me. It was downright boring. There was no atmosphere. The tents were blocking the parade ring. It lacked sparkle and was no real fun. And I’m still wondering exactly what role Mr Usain Bolt played in the show? No question, Bolt is an icon on the sports field. But on the Cape’s major raceday, where the horses should be the stars, why do we need this – I’d guess, obviously pricy – sportsman to distract us from the real show at hand? I go for the racing – for the

Winning Partnerships

American Horse of the Year Gun Runner went out in a blaze of glory under Florent Geroux at Gulfstream Park on Saturday when he won the $16 million Pegasus World Cup in impressive style. The son of Candy Ride (Arg) – who stands at Lane’s End for $80,000 – now heads to Three Chimneys to commence his own stud career off five straight Gr1 wins. “It’s just a very emotional time,” said Gun Runner’s trainer Steve Asmussen. “For him to come through like he did today, overcome the draw, I’m so proud of him. “He’s a dream come true. He’s just a special individual. This memory will be with us forever.” With the $7 million winner’s share of the world’s richest purse in racing, Gun Runner moved past California Chrome into second on the all-time earnings list with $15,988,500. He trails only Arrogate, who beat him in last year’s Dubai World Cup and retired with $17,422,600 in earnings.

SHORT HEADS

It was another big feature weekend for Highlands top sire Dynasty with Highlands-breds Eyes Wide Open and Let It Rain winning the Gr1 Cape Derby and Gr2 Cape Stayers on Met day on Saturday. Then 24 hours later, the smart looking Wild Wicket came from the clouds to win the Listed Michael Roberts Handicap at Scottsville. The Duncan Howells galloper became Dynasty’s 55th individual stakes winner.

19 Y

That’s the ﬁrst cheque in rands earned by the newest Three Chimneys stallion Gun Runner as he bowed out by winning Saturday’s Pegasus World Cup. At Kenilworth on Saturday, the CTS 1200 and CTS 1600 winners Dutch Philip and Undercover Agent each pocketed a handsome R3,7 million, while Oh Susanna bagged R2,85 million for winning the Gr1 Sun Met. Eyes Wide Open earned R625 000 for winning the prestigious Gr1 Cape Derby. Quite a diversity of earnings – and all top performances!

Globetrotter

Plans for an international campaign for storming Sun Met runner-up Last Winter are under way. The son of deceased sire Western Winter made up lengths in the ﬁnal stages of the big race and was only a half length in arrears at the line. Jockey Piere Strydom said that a lack of experience and ‘knowing what racing was about’ had cost the lightly-raced colt. “By the time the penny had dropped, the bird had ﬂown. No excuses – it was a great run,” said trainer Dean Kannemeyer.

CREDIT DUE

Seeing that we have rightly complained when the tote has crashed on some of our biggest days, it would appear that Saftote deserve a thumbs-up for apparently sailing through Sun Met day – without any issues that we are aware of. Gotta give credit where it’s due!

Retro Nice to see that Gold Circle are using the traditional old-style racecards at R10 a pop for their local meetings only. The card carries the basic race information and aﬀords sponsors the opportunity of exposing their branding, if required.

Eclipsed Sporting Post editor Karel Miedema received recognition at the Eclipse Awards in the USA last week. In his acceptance speech for winning Champion Older Dirt Female with Forever Unbridled, owner-breeder Charles Fipke mentioned both Karel's name and his home country. Miedema has been Fipke’s pedigree adviser since 2010, during which time the matings for Breeder’s Cup winner Forever Unbridled and her Gr1 winning full sister Unbridled Forever were planned. Fipke lives in Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada), and is in virtual daily contact with Miedema in Cape Town. Fipke, who owns a large stud farm in Kentucky, has several homebred stallions and an extensive mare-band. He has breeding and racing interests in USA, Ireland, UK, France, Japan and Australia. The Eclipse Award is an American thoroughbred horse racing award named after the 18th century British racehorse and sire, Eclipse. The Eclipse Awards were created by three independent bodies in 1971 to honour the champions of the sport.

HUGH CAN DO

The last time champion racemare Winx raced without Hugh Bowman was in September 2015 when James McDonald rode her to victory in the Theo Marks Stakes. The star – who won all of her 9 starts in 2017 - may miss her regular pilot again on her return to action in the Apollo Stakes at Randwick on 17 February. Bowman is currently under suspension until 22 February but has indicated that he may lodge an appeal.

Arrogate made it a double in the 2017 Longines World’s best racehorse awards in London last Tuesday with a rating of 134, ahead of Australian champion Winx – third in 2016 – on a rating of 132. Cracksman and Gun Runner, who won his last outing in the Pegasus World Cup on Saturday, were joint third on 130. Winx’ regular pilot Hugh Bowman was crowned world’s leading jockey. The Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe was named the world’s best race.

Wine List?

Top personalities Gary Player and Barry Irwin have pledged their support for Dave Mollett's ‘Testimonial Lunch’ at Turﬀontein racecourse on 11 February. "We're thrilled that Gary is donating a piece of memoralbia from his illustrious career and American racing expert, Barry Irwin, has indicated he wishes to make a donation," said Keith Waterston, who is organising the event. He added that top jockeys such as Piere Strydom, Andrew Fortune, Weichong Marwing and Gunter Wrogemann will be attending. "If anyone would like to donate wine - that would be great," added Keith.

Not Playing Ball

Fastest Of Five Scottsville 21 January Five of the ten races in Pietermaritzburg on Sunday were run over 1000m and stopping the clock in the fastest time amongst these was AUTUMN IN SEATTLE in the MR86 Handicap. Soon up handy in a race in which just seven went to post, Pat Lunn’s charge raced prominent throughout. He ran on strongly over the final 400m and won comfortably by a half from the always handy FILIPPO. Just 14/100th of a second separated the winning times of the three 1400m races, where surprisingly the quickest home was SHANDY in the girl’s division of the maiden plate. Another to race close to the speed, this 4yo daughter of Kahal took up the running as they approached the 200m marker, and kept on strongly in the closing stages of the race to hold off a determined challenge from the 5/4 favourite TRAVEL GUIDE. The two remaining races were moderate handicaps over 1950m and first past the post in the faster of these, a MR67 affair, was the easy to back BALLYMAINE. Freely available at 11/1 on the off the recent maiden winner raced in midfield for most of the journey. He cut through the field quickly in the home straight and won with authority by three from the favourite AMOR ARDIENTE. TITBITS The 3yo CALLADDI was always in command when comfortably accounting for his twelve rivals in the maiden plate over 1000m. Beaten by the narrowest of margins, MAJESTIC GLORY ran on well from midfield and would surely have won the MR72 Handicap over 1000m in another stride.

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

Vaal 23 January They raced on the classic track on Tuesday where the afternoon’s feature event was a pinnacle stakes over 1000m. The talented BULL VALLEY was sent off favourite, but was never able to get in a blow. Victory instead, in a race that was not particularly a fast run affair, went to the filly WRECKING BALL. Freely available at 15/1 on the off Grant Maroun’s charge led throughout. She kept on strongly at the business end of the race and won well by a length and a quarter from another relatively unfancied runner in PURE BLONDE (11/1). Marginally the faster of the two 1200m races on the card was the MR79 Handicap in which STATE TROOPER made it two from three. Allowed to flirt with 10/1 at one stage after opening up at 9/2, Roy Magner’s charge was always in touch with the leaders. He ran on strongly over the final 400m and in a race where just three quarters of a length separated the first four home, he got up late. The 3yo PEARL OF BAHRAIN was the best bet on the card for most and the 3yo daughter of Western Winter didn’t let down her supporters. Always deep in the red, Mike De Kock’s charge was soon positioned close to the speed. She took up the running as they approached the 200m marker and with plenty in hand won going away by three and three quarters. TITBITS Backed into joint favouritism at the track, MANEATER won the opening work rider’s maiden plate over 2000m with authority by two and a half.

Timed To Perfection Fairview 24 January Wednesday’s action took place on the poly track where three of the afternoon’s eight races were staged over 1200m. The MR80 Handicap was the fastest of these and here the 4yo FLIGHT CAPTAIN registered his fifth career victory. Soon nicely positioned in second, Yvette Bremner’s charge took up the running 300m out and comfortably accounted for the running on LORD WINDERMERE by two. The conditions plate proved to be the faster of the two 2200m races and here MASTERLY caused an upset. The well supported STORMY ECLIPSE was the first to make a move in the home straight and going through the 200m he looked to have done everything right. Masterly quickened best of all below the distance though and in what proved to be a real thriller he got up in the dying strides. Two of the three remaining races were staged over 1600m and stopping the clock in the faster of these was FIRE IN THE BELLY in the bill topping MR85 Handicap. In what very quickly became a strung out field, the bottom weight raced second of the seven for most of the journey. He put his head in front going through the 300m and cruised clear in the closing stages of the race to score by five and a quarter. TITBITS Easily eight lengths off the pace rounding the bend, lightly raced SEARCHING ran on best of all in the short home straight when a one and TOP SPEED RATINGS a quarter length runner up in the girl’s division of the maiden for this WEEKEND plate over 1400m. (Ratings shown have already been Even money favourite CHAPadjusted to allocated weights) PAQUIDDICK cruised clear over FAIRVIEW (FRI) the final 300m when winning Race 1: (11) Tune The Scope 9 the maiden plate over 2200m Race 2: (6) Seattle Splendour 8 by seven and three quarters.

Despite A Slipped Saddle Vaal 25 January Despite being disadvantaged by a slipped saddle, BRIGHT BLESSED DAY was the quickest home in the five 1200m races. Backed into the red to win the second division of the maiden plate, the 3yo son of Judpot raced three lengths off the speed early on. Once given rein though he quickened well and won going away after striking the front 300m out. The only other distance to stage more than one race was 1700m where the very well weighted WAITY KATIE won the faster of the two. Taking into account apprentice Lerena’s 4kg allowance, Waity Katie was racing off a mark 36 points below that of her former best in this MR64 Handicap. On the heels of the leader throughout, the Jay Peg mare took

command 150m out and won going away by a length and a quarter. Another to win well on this card was the well supported FORAFEWDOLLARSMORE in the MR81 Handicap over 2000m. A little slow into stride when the gates opened, Sean Tarry’s charge raced eighth of the ten during the early part of the race. She cut through the field quickly when given rein and won going away by a length and a quarter. TITBITS At the head of affairs throughout, WILD CURVE found extra when challenged by the well supported favourite IMPERIAL QUEST and with the rest well beaten he won fair and square by a length and a half.

Quality Umpire Greyville 26 January A maiden juvenile plate over 1200m got proceedings underway on the poly track on Friday night and albeit in a comparatively slow time, we saw a very smart performance from DICKIE BIRD. Making only his second racecourse appearance here Glen Kotzen’s charge raced in midfield during the early part of the race. He cut through the field like a knife in the short home straight and cruised clear from the 200m pole to score by four and a half. A MR84 Handicap over 1000m topped the bill and here victory went to the 3yo QUEEN OF ALAMO. Soon up handy despite being a little slow into stride, the 3yo daughter of Pathfork raced prominent throughout. She put her head in front 50m out and just held on from the very steadily gaining VINE STREET STAR (came from the rear). The two 1600m races were both maiden plates and by far the faster of these was the boy’s affair won by ITDAWNEDONME. The field was always very tightly bunched and although Charlie Laird’s charge raced towards the rear he was always well within striking distance. He ran on best of all over the final 400m and under a well-judged ride from KEAGAN DE MELO he got up 100m out. TITBITS TANAMI only had to be pushed out when winning the MR62 Handicap over 2000m.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 2nd - SUNDAY 4th FEBRUARY 2018

Despite the 2018 Sun Met going the way of Australian bred Oh Susanna (Street Cry), South African bred and raced stallions shone on Saturday with seven of the nine feature races going to progeny of locally bred sires.

he Met day truly belonged, however, to the late champion sire, Captain Al -one of the finest advertisements for South African bred stallions in recent times. The eight times champion sire of 2yo’s, and South African champion sire in 2014-2015 was responsible for Gr1 Majorca Stakes winner, Snowdance, Gr1 Cape Flying Championship hero, Sergeant Hardy, and Undercover Agent, winner of the CTS 1600. The CTS 1600 - won last year by Captain Al’s son, William Longsword – was once again a tribute race for Captain Al, who was also responsible for runner up, Captain And Master. Sergeant Hardy was a second consecutive Cape Flying Championship winner for Captain Al, whose daughter, Carry On Alice, won the 2017 running. Another son of Captain Al, Kasimir, finished runner up in the CTS 1200. Captain Al is no stranger to making a splash on Met day. The son of Al Mufti - himself sire of 2005

Met winner Alastor - was sire of 2014 Met winner, Hill Fifty Four, as well as such big race winners on Met days as the above mentioned William Longsword and Carry On Alice, while he is also responsible for three Listed Summer Juvenile Stakes winners in the form of Sergeant Hardy, Only Emily and Call To Account.

Our Captain

Captain Al, two of whose sons, Captain Of All and William Longsword, now stand at Klawervlei, is from the Roberto (sire of Al Mufti) male line which is enjoying something of a resurgence. Dynaformer’s (Roberto) son, Point Of Entry, who ended 2017 as the seventh leading first crop sire in North America, made a very encouraging start with his first two-year-olds last season, including the brilliant and unbeaten G3 winner, Analyze It. Other sires responsible for a major winner last year included Duporth (Hey Doc), Domesday (Ruthven) and Dynaformer. The

latter is also responsible for previous Gr1 sires in Temple City and Purim and is broodmare sire of Gr2 winner, Sharp Susan, the dam of record breaking 2018 Sun Met winner, Oh Susanna. Philanthropist, sire of recent Hong Kong Classic Mile runner up Singapore Sling, is another from the Roberto male line.

Winter Winners Last season’s Champion First Season Sire What A Winter enjoyed a feature double on Sun Met day. THE four time Gr1 winner had a pair of big race winners, in the form of Agent Of Fortune and Dutch Philip, who won the Kuda Sprint and The CTS 1200 respectively. The CTS 1200 proved a particular triumph for What A Winter, whose daughter Magical Wonderland ran third to Dutch Philip in the $500 000 feature. Last season’s brilliant twoyear-old Dutch Philip picked up his fifth career win, from just ten starts, when he beat the progressive Kasimir. Trained by Vaughan Marshall, Agent Of Fortune made an impressive winning debut when he stayed on smartly to land the R350 000 Kuda Sprint over 1000m, under the urgings of rider MJ Byleveld. What A Winter enjoyed more success

Dynasty

Dynasty, once again, was prominent on one of the country’s biggest race days. The former Horse Of The Year, and four times Equus Outstanding Stallion was represented by his fourth Gr1 Cape Derby winner when Eyes Wide Open downed a star studded field in Saturday’s R1 000 000 contest. Dynasty’s previous Cape Derby winners include the sires, Jackson and Legislate, as well as It’s My Turn. Eyes Wide Open could well join the ranks of the South African stallion band in the not too distant future. Eyes Wide Open - bred on the same mating as this season’s Gr1 Summer Cup winner, Liege - is from the same Dynasty/Jallad cross as 2016 Derby winner, It’s My Turn, and he was one of two graded winners on the day for his sire. Dynasty’s second Met day feature race winner came in the form of Gr2 Cape Stayers race winner, Let It Rain, a half-brother to another locally bred sire in the form of Soft Falling Rain. Last season’s Champion First Crop Sire, What A Winter, was yet another locally bred stallion to come good on Sun Met day. The triple Equus Champion enjoyed a notable sales race

Captain Al feature double with sons, Agent Of Fortune and Dutch Philip, winning the Kuda Sprint and CTS 1200. The CTS 1200 proved a bonanza for progeny of What A Winter with the sire’s daughter, Magical Wonderland, finishing third.

Home Grown

The first three home in the CTS 1200 were all sired by home-grown stallions.Seven times champion sire, Jet Master, one of the greatest sires bred in this country, is broodmare sire of Saturday’s Kuda Sprint winner, Agent Of Fortune, while Jet Master’s son, Pomodoro, is sire of Kuda Sprint runner up, Cirillo. Pomodoro had just two runners

How To Buy A Derby Winner Dynasty, winner of the 2003 Cape Derby, was represented by his fourth Gr1 Investec Cape Derby winner in seven years when his son Eyes Wide Open captured the 2018 Cape Derby at Kenilworth on Saturday.

B What a Winter at Scottsville on Sunday, when his son Winter Blues made it three wins on the bounce when victorious over 1000 metres. Bred by Dr Ian Heyns, the 3yo Winter Blues has now won all three starts since relocating to KZN.

red by Highlands, the handsome Eyes Wide Open follows in the footsteps of Dynasty sons Jackson, Legislate and It’s My Turn. Both Jackson (Highlands) and Legislate (Drakenstein) went to stud Dynasty is also responsible for fellow Derby winners Irish Flame (SA Derby, Gold Circle Derby) and Winter Derby winners African Night Sky and Dynastic Power. Another son of the sire, Sage Throne, was demoted from first

place in the 2011 G22 Gold Circle Derby, while Dynasty son Dynamic was second in the 2013 Investec Cape Derby, while Dynasty sired Cape Guineas winner Act Of War was runner up in the 2015 Cape Derby. The evergreen Dynasty is enjoying another superb season, including Summer Cup winner Liege, unbeaten Gr3 Flamboyant Stakes winner Hashtagyolo, Gr2 Southern Cross Stakes victress Just Sensual and Our Emperor.

on Sun Met day, with another son, Royal Italian, finishing third in the Listed Tattersalls Summer Juvenile Stakes. Jet Master, also responsible for another promising young sire in Master Of My Fate and damsire of recent Gr1 Paddock Stakes runner up, Lady In Black, is also sire of Saturday’s Gr2 Cape Stayers runner up, Master’s Eye. Fans of South African bred sires can also take solace from the fact that currently the first two sires on the First Crop Sires List – Pomodoro & Master Of My Fate - are both locally bred stallions, and both are by Jet Master. Could a locally bred and raced stallion head the First Crop Sires list for a second year running?
