New Predator - class act and Weichong Marwing rides

PINNACLE STAKES at Vaal this Saturday

Class To Count

A

We have been racing at the Vaal for close on 72 years, and while the course configurations have evolved over the decades, it is a track that has been known to be the undoing of some top horses.

quality R130 000 Pinnacle Stakes takes pride of place on the classic track on Saturday and even though the conditions favour the class, it’s a race that looks fairly wide open. The classic track was opened in May 2016 as a replacement for the sand. With its long run-in, it is a course that gives most a fair chance.

The Azzie father-and-son racing team struck form at Turffontein last Saturday with a splendid hat-trick of winners and they may have found the right race for their Imperial Stride gelding, Will Pays. The Gr3 Spring Spree Stakes winner was slow away and found the pace too hot to handle when running 8 lengths behind The Thinker in the Merchants at his last start. A ten week freshen up may be the tonic required to get him in line for a tenth career victory,

and his draw should not prove an impediment with his racing style.

Sean Tarry’s coupling of Heaps Of Fun and Matador Man are both in with a shout at best.

The Visionaire mare Heaps Of Fun has been a trifle in and out but came out firing over 1160m at Turffontein last time. She now takes on mixed company, but has a big money chance.

Matador Man is a slow starter and he stayed on well for under 3 lengths behind Arctica in a true-run Wolf Power Handicap last Saturday. This is the son of Toreador’s first start at the Vaal and he is likely to be staying on strongly again.

The Trippi mare Kilauea ran a cracking third behind Amazing Strike and Captain Aldo last time, where she had New Predator and Classify well beaten. She has her first run at the Vaal on Saturday.

The consistent Captain Aldo is an honest and talented 7yo and has

maintained a model form profile over an extended period of time. He was beaten 3,25 lengths by Kangaroo Jack at his penultimate jump but should get closer with a 1,5kg swing of the weights in his favour.

Joint topweighted New Predator is a class act and a past winner of the Gr2 Drill Hall Stakes and Gr2 Charity Mile.

The New Approach entire has his first run at the Vaal but must go very close at best.

Former PE-based Classify is drawn widest of all but ran a cracking second behind Forest Fox in the Grand Heritage back in September. His three runs since have produced little. He was carded to race at the Vaal on Tuesday as we went to print.

She’s A Dragon has been racing off form and last won a fillies handicap over a mile at Turffontein in August.

She looks unlikely in this company.

The Albert Hall gelding Rebuked steps up dramatically in class and is bang in form, having won 3 of his last 6 starts. He comes in under sufferance and looks to have it all to do on these weights.

The multiple Gr2 winner Kangaroo Jack shoulders joint top weight before the concession of 1,5kg for the services of very competent apprentice Denis

A new trainer’s name appears on the Fairview index for this Friday’s polytrack meeting.

An excited Emmanuel Kaknis sends out his first five runners on Friday after a long training and stable management apprenticeship, where he learnt the ropes from master veterans of the ilk of Hekkie Strydom and Barry Steenkamp.

“It is all systems go and the team is ready to roll,” said the 31 year old East London-born Greek national, of a business he says, will be founded on family values.

The family aspect shines through, with his Mom Anne-Marie his major owner, while sister Chrysanthy – better known as Christine - is his assistant. He points out for clarity that their surnames are spelt Kacnis – while his is Kaknis.

Emmanuel starts out with ‘a nice mix’ of 28 horses of which some are unraced. He has been assisted by jockey Bryan Claassen, who has been riding a lot of work.

“This is the culmination of a lifelong ambition. It is not an easy game but I have learnt from the best and I have the support of my wonderful family and a good team in the yard. Now it’s up to the horses – and we have boxes available to grow as we get more broader based support.”

Schwarz. The son of Querari won his penultimate start over shorter and then stayed on strongly at this track over 400m shorter last time.

He gave the impression that he will be effective over the extra.

Trading Profit is the second of the Azzie duo. The son of Toreador is a Vaal course-and-distance winner

but looks outgunned at these weight terms.

The class mare Heaps Of Fun together with Will Pays and Captain Aldo are the hard-knockers who look capable of fighting this out. New Predator has top-class earlier form, while Matador Man needs to get away on terms for a big effort.

Turffontein last Saturday

T

Defying top weight and given plenty to do in the straight, the Gimmethegreenlight colt Surcharge marked himself a Gauteng classic candidate of serious standing with a cracking late run to win the R250 000 Gr3 Tony Ruffel Stakes at Turffontein.

rainer Stuart Pettigrew has a smart 3yo on his hands and he broke Mike de Kock’s stranglehold on this feature with an exciting sort, who is yet to go further than 1400m, but chalked his second stakes success over the course and distance in the manner of a horse with a future.

Piere Strydom had Surcharge well back in play as Wonderwall led Sir David Baird and Yakeen.

At the 300m the lesser fancied

of the De Kock trio Sir David Baird grabbed the initiative and looked a winner at the 200m. But Piere Strydom had other ideas and he unleased Surcharge with a storming late effort.

The handsome colt took off and sailed past Sir David Baird to register a good win by 0,60 lengths in a time of 84,80 secs.

Sir David Baird showed his Cape Guineas run to be wrong as he stayed on for second, a length ahead of the improved again Wonderwall.

The fancied Yakeen ran a disappointing race, finishing sixth and 6 lengths off the winner.

The Varsfontein bred Surcharge is a son of Gimmethegreenlight (More Than Ready) out of the UK bred Congestion Charge (Diktat), who was placed over 2300m.

He has won 5 races with 1 place from 7 starts for stakes of R523 375.

He also qualified for the BSA Added Value Stakes Bonus of R 87 500.

He was a vendor buy back on the 2016 BSA Val De Vie yearling sale and was then sold for R200 000 off the BSA National Yearling Sale of the same year.

He was put through the ring and bought back for R550 000 by Dusty Trail Investments off the 2016 CTS Johannesburg Ready To Run Sale. He races in the Ian Van Schalkwyk silks.

Tony Ruffel Stakes (Surcharge), 1400m - the time was a good one and the pace was honest. The winner looks to have a bright future.

The Three Troikas Stakes (Fish River) 1400m was steady early and developed into somewhat of a sprint, making for a false run race.

The official time was wrong in the Maiden Plate (Manhattan Cocktail) 1400m, which was comparatively slowly run.

Wolf Power Handicap (Arctica), 1600m - they went a fair clip throughout, and the time a was good one.

The time of the Conditions Plate (She’s A Giver) 1600m was very similar, but the pace had been sedate and it developed into a bit of a sprint, making it a false run race.

The slow run Maiden Plate (The Rising Legend) 1600m was (other than the winner) a rather moderate looking bunch.

Progress Plate (Greek Fire), 1800m – although this might have been run a tad faster, the time was still a good one and the pace honest.

There was no pace on in the Maiden Plate (Tiger Lace) 1800m which was false run.

Allez France Stakes (Bondiblu) – 2400m - the pace was decent early on, but slowed up before a sprint for home – a false run race FS. In a time 0.6s faster, the Pinnacle Stakes (Kilrain) 2400m was much more honestly run.

Note: The 400m splits must be taken with caution, due to the camera angle and the position of the leader on-screen.

Gr3 TONY RUFFEL STAKES Turffontein last Saturday

Anthony Delpech and Fish River cruise to a smart win

The River Runs

New Highlands stallion for 2018 Canford Cliffs produced yet another impressive local stakes winner when the Mike de Kock-trained Fish River stamped herself as a filly with classic aspirations as she cruised home to win the R250 000 Gr3 Three Troikas Stakes at Turffontein.

D

escribed by trainer Richard Hannon Snr as the best he trained, the well-performed Canford Cliffs will make an exciting addition to the illustrious Western Cape stallion ranks this season and his smart daughter looks set to carry his flag in the classics.

The Australian-bred galloper was registering her first career stakes score at her seventh start, and made it look ever so easy.

Anthony Delpech had Fish River relaxed in third as Fort Vodka and Dame Kelly showed the way, with San Fermin at the rear after jumping slowly.

With Dame Kelly looking threatening at the 350m marker, Anthony Delpech’s body language spelt confidence as the champion jockey punched the smart 3yo out with the hands. The athletic filly lengthened her stride as she took over and asserted her authority.

In the run for the line the Mauritzfontein-owned racer outgunned her fellow Aussie San Fermin, who was not disgraced as she came from well back to run a good second, beaten just over 2 lengths.

The winner’s time was 85,37 secs

and Fish River provided Anthony Delpech with his 100th winner of the season.

Dame Kelly ran out of puff late and was beaten a further length back in third, with the winner’s stablemate Takingthepeace rounding off the quartet.

Fish River was pin-hooked as a foal

by Sheamus Mills Bloodstock for A$60 000 from Yarraman Park at the 2015 Magic Millions National Sale.

She was subsequently purchased by Jehan Malherbe’s Form Bloodstock A$130,000 at the 2016 Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale.

The winner was bred by Wodongabased trainer Peter Maher and is

by Canford Cliffs (Tagula) out of the twice raced Zabeea (Exceed And Excel).Her second-dam Arrabeea (Zabeel) was a Gr3 winner at Doomben and Caulfield.

Canford Cliffs was an exceptional racehorse, whose seven wins from 11 outings included five G1 racesin a row. His five G1 winning streak included the Irish 2000 Guineas, St James’s Palace Stakes, Sussex Stakes, Lockinge Stakes and Queen Anne Stakes and he ended the season with a runner up finish to Frankel in the Gr1 Sussex Stakes.

Fish River is likely to improve further as she is stepped up over ground.

Met Day 2019

Early Days But...

SOUTH Africa’s leading bookmakers Hollywood have led the field again and published the maiden ante-post market for the 2018 Gr1 Vodacom Durban July last week.

The R4,25 million 2200m contest will be run at Greyville on Saturday 7 July 2018.

We are months away from first entry date but the debate will be hot with the astute punter looking for some serious value.

Hollywoood have requested that should any punter want to back a horse that is not included in the current chart, to please contact them directly.

Cape Winter Series champion African Night Sky, who ran on steadily but out of the money in last Saturday’s Sun Met, is the early favourite.

Please visit www.hollywoodbets.net for more information

With the dust having settled on Sun Met Day, the race programmers are already looking at a different approach for 2019. Having three local racemeetings on one afternoon simply did not work.

A Met Heroes On Move C

Durban July hero Marinaresco is to leave his history-making trainer to join Mike de Kock for an international campaign.

andice Bass-Robinson has decided that the option of continuing as the trainer when the five-year-old moves overseas is not practical for her. She has her own yard adjoining Summerveld as well as one of the biggest stables in Cape Town, writes Michael Clower on www.goldcircle.co.za She said: “He goes into quarantine in the middle of the month and will go via Mauritius to Mike de Kock’s yard in Newmarket. After that nothing has been finalised but maybe Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai. He remains in the same ownership (Marsh Shirtliff, Bryn Ressell, Mike Bass and Fred Green) and I will be sorry to see him go.”

Marinaresco set a weight-carrying record when becoming the first Durban July winner to be trained by a woman and also one of the first (if not the first) to win the race for a trainer in their initial season.

His other triumphs included the Champions Cup, Winter Guineas and Winter Classic.

Last Winter, who finished one place in front of him when runnerup in the Sun Met, could be on the same plane to Mauritius following a meeting between owner Lady Laidlaw, Dean Kannemeyer and Jehan Malherbe on Friday.

Kannemeyer said: “We are all on the same track with this and we are now busy negotiating to get him out of the country. I will remain the trainer and we will go via Mauritius but we still have to decide whether we go now or wait until July but, personally, I think the sooner the better.

“There is Hong Kong in December but, if it proves the horse is not ready for that, a race I have long wanted to win is the Queen Elizabeth II Cup (won by the Alec Laird-trained London News in 1997) there in April.”

Kannemeyer fears that the horse would end up with top weight if the decision is made to wait for the Vodacom Durban July. Last Winter is a 10-1 chance for the Greyville spectacular with Hollywoodbets which has African Night Sky favourite at just over 7-1 and Marinaresco on 25-2.

nd the centre which took the major knock was KZN. “It worked last year but we will revisit our programming for 2019,” Gold Circle Racing Executive Raf Sheik told the Sporting Post. The Greyville Saturday meeting bore the brunt of the Sun Met shadow, with ‘embarrassing pools’ – trying as it was, in terms of its later scheduling, to compete into the teeth of the quartet of Gr1’s at Kenilworth.

“Tough economic conditions, with junk status the newest buzz-word and the devastating drought that is crippling the Western Cape formed an ominous backdrop to the 2018 Sun Met. We expected it to be tough and it was thus a tremendous boost and privilege to have the Hong Kong involvement,” Phumelela Sports Betting Executive, Vee Moodley, told the Sporting Post.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club simulcast only the major meetings from around the world and the announcement that the bettingcrazy racing jurisdiction were to take six races from Kenilworth was a coup for Saftote – even though local punters don’t benefit directly.

Betting turnovers were down about 10% year-on-year and the Hong Kong simulcast was to become an unlikely game saver.

Unlike commingling, where the overseas players gamble into our local pools, simulcasting entails the sale of the television picture and the payment of royalties. While no

Oh Susanna sums have been published, we are aware that the Mauritius agreement with SA racing involves a 3% royalty.

There is talk that we could get commingling from Hong Kong on the 2019 Met. Their Met win pool was R4 million on Saturday. So that is an exciting proposition!

The Hong Kong players ploughed R176 million into their menu of six races, while our punters could only find R64 odd million for 30 local races.

There is no question that the Mayfair Speculators implosion in early December was an albatross around the neck of the Met build-

up. Two of the fancied runners in the race carried the silks of South Africa’s champion owners and the uncertainty around their participation, coupled with the mass political outcry, only abated 24 hours before the off. And even then, there was no certainty as to what Saturday would bring.

While attendance figures have still not been published, the general consensus is that Oh Susanna’s great victory was witnessed by one of the smallest crowds in living memory.

And that is taking cognisance of the fact that most of the spectators these days are housed under cover.

Snaith Stars Aimed At KZN After discussions with owners Jack Mitchell, Gaynor Rupert and the Drakenstein Stud team, there are no plans for the Snaith Met day Gr1 stars to embark on an international campaign at this stage.

JONO Snaith confirmed that export plans were off the table until progress on South Africa’s export protocol had been achieved. Both Oh Susanna and Snowdance are to be rested and will then begin preparation for the Durban season.

Snowdance will not be entered for the July but she will be aimed at the Gr1 Garden Province Stakes.

The programme for Met winner Oh Susanna is still under discussion with Drakenstein Stud. While she will be entered for the July, a definite decision will only be taken after the Gr1 Woolavington Stakes.

For those with an interest in the Hollywood July ante post market, the Snaiths have suggested African Night Sky, who did not incur a penalty for his Met run and will come into the July on 53kgs, as well as Gr1 Investec Cape Derby runner up, Do It Again, as possibles.

Less than a week after winning one of the coveted prizes in South African horseracing, Justin Snaith and Grant van Niekerk were back in the feature race winner’s enclosure.

This time it was 750 km down the Garden Route at Fairview on Friday, where the gutsy 5yo Fifty Cents ran out an easy winner of the Fairview Mile.

Champions can do it anywhere and the rollercoaster dip from a R5 million Gr1 down to a R110 000 non black-type feature was handled with professionalism by the form combination. Not that the day was a complete cakewalk – a few of their fancied earlier runners failed to come up trumps.

The 2016 Listed Jet Master Stakes winner, Fifty Cents had run 16 lengths behind champion Legal Eagle in his last outing, but showed his class under top weight on Friday with a workmanlike performance for Caroline Rupert and Anysec Pty Ltd. Van Niekerk had the 5yo settled in midfield and produced him at the 350m as the pacesetter Cape Rebel started gasping for air.

The race was all over bar the shouting in the final 250m as Fifty Cents drew off to beat Laws Of Succession by 2,50 lengths in a time of 97,83 secs.

The Drakenstein Stud-bred Fifty Cents is a 5yo gelded son of Trippi (End Sweep) and is a half brother to the well-performed 2011 SA Derby winner Seal (Silvano). He is out of the unraced Prestine Performer (Rambo Dancer).

A R900 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 graduate, he has won 7 races with 9 places from 22 starts for stakes of R513 000.

Replacement rider Marco van Rensburg took his opportunity with both hands when he rode a perfectly judged finish to get the Stan Ferreira-trained Bondiblu up in the dying strides to stave off two persistent challengers and win the R135 000 Allez France Stakes at Turffontein.

In a nerve wracking jackpot opener, the more fancied Bondiblu showed ample reserves of stamina when it was needed to get a short head victory over the lesser liked Seeking Gold, who pressed all the way to the wire.

After a tardy start, Bondiblu was relaxed some way back as Seal My Fate and Cranberry Crush showed the way in the 2400m non black-type feature.

In the run for home it was the uber consistent Patchit Up Baby who slipped through down the rail looking dangerous as Seeking Gold and Bondiblu made ground through the tiring runners.

At the 150m it could go either way but Van Rensburg – working so hard this term – extricated a little more out of Bondiblu to shade Seeking Gold, with Patchit Up Baby a head away in third. The winner’s time was 154,25 secs.

A R100 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale graduate, Bondiblu was bred by Vanree Stud and is by Seul Amour (Zabeel) out of the five-time winner Blue Paradise (Jallad). Seul Amour stood his first season in Australia in 2007 and in SA from 2009.

The 5yo Bondiblu has now won 7 races with 13 places from 31 starts for stakes of R622 975.

Craig Zackey was another jockey at Turffontein on Saturday to take advantage of a Weichong Marwing feature substitute riding opportunity, when he overcame a wide barrier gate on the Azzie’s Arctica to win the R150 000 Listed Wolf Power Handicap in rather straightforward fashion.

Jump quickly. Get a rail position. Track the leader. Go for home at the 350m marker. That’s about how simple the plan was for the talented Zackey, who won his race at the jump by using his initiative to get across and ease his mount up.

Arctica ran fifth in this race last year but had not won in close on a year when he went to post largely unfancied on Saturday.

After tracking Tandava all the way around, Arctica was sent for home halfway down the straight, but came under fire late from Fareeq and Kings Archer. But the Azzie charge was in a galloping mood – and it helps when the yard is in form.

Craig Zackey kept Arctica at his task and nicely balanced to resist the late challenge of Fareeq and Kings Archer. He won by a half length in a time of 97,86 secs.

Arctica was a third winner on the afternoon for the Azzie team and was registering a long overdue maiden stakes success.

A R225 000 National Yearling Sale buy, he has won 5 races with 13 places from 27 starts and stakes of R553 650.

He was bred by Wicklow Stud and is by Captain Al (Al Mufti) out of the Irish-bred Little Grey Wolf (Indian Ridge).

De Kock Racing For Fitness

S

Mike de Kock was very pleased with the second place achieved

by Silvano’s son Janoobi in last Thursday night’s Gr2 Al Fahidi Fort over 1400m at Meydan.

A bred Janoobi was only outpaced late by Jungle Cat and Mike said: “He didn’t spit out the dummy, he kept trying. I was disappointed when he finished 15 lengths off on his Dubai debut but as we noted we’ve been racing them fit and he’s come on a ton since his first start.

We’ll race him over 1600m on turf next.”

Noah From Goa finished a further four lengths back in fifth and Mike said: “He ran within a pound of D’Bai, who beat him last time, so he ran more or less to form. He needs more ground now, a mile and possibly 1800m.”

Light The Lights managed another stake cheque in the Al Rashidiya over 1800m on turf, but Al Sahem faded out to last, beaten 12 lengths. Mike assessed:

“When my horses are out of a race and can’t win I don’t like them getting hard ridden to finish a length or two closer.

“Al Sahem needed it, he was blowing so hard afterwards he almost blew me over. Like Janoobi, he should improve several lengths on this showing.”

This Thursday Mike de Kock sees the Meydan programme headed by the Al Maktoum Challenge and the 1000 Guineas headline, where Mike de Kock has the evergreen Sanshaawes entered for the Reach by Gulf News Handicap as we go to print.

Greyville Poly Under Fire - Again

“We have lost more meetings at Greyville since the polytrack was installed and the statistics suggest that it must rank near the top of the list of the world’s least effective all-weather tracks.”

KZN jockeys and trainers were up in arms after the abandonment of last Friday evening’s Greyville racemeeting, labelling the situation a bad one for horseracing and yet another dent in owner and public confidence.

The official Stipes Report confirmed that shortly before the commencement of the race meeting, an electrical storm struck Greyville.

Frequent lightning and a heavy downpour resulted in a delay to proceedings. With the lightning persisting and rain continuing to fall, and after a track inspection of the bend, the Panel formulated in terms of the Rules, abandoned the race meeting.

“Horses cost money to feed

and train. We arrive here and racing is abandoned after a forty minute downpour. We understand that lightning is a threat. But then we get told that it’s actually a maintenance issue and that they should have done major maintenance after three years. And now we are four years down the line and they are standing with their hands in their pockets.

That’s just not good enough,” said a trainer.

“We are battling with small fields and losing money – and now they compound issues with a casual approach. There are puddles on the track. Those should be absorbed down through the layers and drain off. But they put the machinery on the track and the puddles then

become indentations and the surface is uneven. If the Vets say the track is not good for horses, then it is a track with problems,” added the trainer.

Peter Morrison of Martin Collins SA told the Sporting Post that he was not aware of why Friday’s meeting had been abandoned but confirmed that the track was due for a ‘regrade and level’.

“We undertake quarterly inspections of the track and we were there in January. We also met with a few jockeys who had recently raised concerns regarding the ‘kick-back’ and suggestions that the Polytrack was too ‘soft’.

Numerous samples from the track have been taken for analysis overseas and as it is now in the 3-5 year period the track could be due for a ‘top-up’,” he added.

The Greyville meeting scheduled for 14 February has been moved to Scottsville.

12844 On The Board…

A New World Record Looms!

IT took Brazillian jockey Jorge Ricardo 41 years to equal the world record of 12844 wins, a feat he achieved on a wet Monday this week at Rio de Janeiro's Hipodromo race track.

The world record is held by his career-long and now retired Canadian rival Russell Baze.

The achievement is unlikely to be matched, much less bettered any time soon as there is no other jockey in the world who has even reached 10 000 wins.

The 56-year-old, who has been racing since he was 15, cried and raised his fist aloft. Well-wishers, family and journalists mobbed the rider and the sweat- and rainstreaked winning horse Jubileia.

Although based in Argentina, Ricardo came to his native Rio on Sunday, needing only three wins to equal Baze’s record. Riding seven races he won twice, and on Monday evening he rode six more before hitting the magic number.

Now he will return to seek that record-breaking 12845th win in front of his Argentinian fans.

He estimates having ridden 70 000 races and has

never taken a long holiday. “I never had much time for vacations. I took a week, occasionally two,” he said. “My life has always been about horse racing.”

The duel between Ricardo and Baze for that top spot was a relentless, slow motion contest with few, if any equivalents in sport. For about 15 years they shadowed each other, one reaching the 10 000 mark first, then the other 11 000 and so on.

Asked what bones he has broken over his career, Ricardo needed to pause and think, before calling himself “halfbionic” and coming up with this list: collarbone, humerus, maxilla, shoulder blade, elbow, finger, rib.

“It’s a very risky profession,” he said. “You fight with your body. Sometimes you’re lucky, sometimes not.”

As well as the sheer battering, Ricardo has been sick with lymphoma, and even he admits that 56 “is not a normal age for a jockey.”

Ricardo’s wife Renata Teixeira, 42, said he was a loving but often “absent” father and that their children “although feeling proud, miss him.”

Marwing Heads For Mauritius Former SA champion jockey Weichong Marwing, who rode a smart double at Turffontein on Saturday before being stood down, will ride for the Gilbert Rousset yard in the forthcoming 2018 Mauritius racing season.

O

ne of our most accomplished and experienced jockeys, Marwing rode on the island for the former Koon Stable in 1991 and also at the international meetings of 1997, 2006 and 2007.

The 47 year old was SA Champion Jockey in 1996/7 and rode 6 winners on the Turffontein card on 1 January 1992 – a feat he repeated at the Vaal on 8 April 2004.

He rode champion filly Irridescence to victory over the great Ouija Board in the 2006 Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Sha Tin Hong Kong. In 2007 he won his second United Arab Emirates Derby at Nad Al Sheba Racecourse aboard the Mike de Kock-trained Asiatic Boy, a horse he says is the best he has ever ridden.

The veteran Rousset has been training for 30 years and was champion in all of 1987, 2009 -11, 2013, 2016, and was champion last year with 40 winners.

Merit Ratings To Be Adjusted The National Horseracing Authority of South Africa has confirmed an increase in domestic merit ratings with effect from 1 March 2018.

IN a press release issued on 5 February, the NHA reports that over the last few racing seasons, a general decline in the Merit Ratings was observed, especially in relation to the large group of horses rated 70 and less.

Upon request, an analysis of average ratings of the racing population from August 2010 to present was undertaken. Based on the research, the following was proposed: 1. Increase the domestic population by 6 rating points; effective entries 1 March 2018. (The relativity between horses remains the same).

2. The rating increase will “stretch” the population thereby reducing the “over-crowding” in the lower divisions.

3. This will only affect domestic ratings. Domestic and International Ratings are not linked and are done separately.

4. This adjustment will be effective on 1 March 2018 across the country.

The situation arose due to: 1. Guidelines limiting upward rating adjustments.

2. Race conditions restricting upward rating adjustment.

3. More aggressive rating drops for non-performance.

4. More cognizant dropping of young horses not making weightfor- age improvement.

5. “Slippage” in handicap races. i.e. Where there are more downward adjustments than horses remaining the same or going up. Where this happens in large numbers; the ratings will tend to decrease over time.

These factors are under review.

The proposed increase was accepted by the industry representatives that attended a meeting in Johannesburg on 25 October 2017 and was ratified by the National Board of the NHA.

Title Odds

Reigning champion Anthony Delpech reached his century mark of winners at Turfontein on Saturday and is now over 30 winners ahead of his nearest rival on the national jockey table. He is hot favourite on Hollywoodbets to lift the title for the second consecutive year. S’manga Khumalo, who was champion in 2013/14 and 2015/16, is as much as 100-1 on the Hollywood betting boards – but some patriotic Capetonians may prefer the in-form Grant Van Niekerk at 75-1.

So Noble!

Rathmor Stud stallion Noble Tune got off the mark at Scottsville last Wednesday when the Kumaran Naidoo-trained Awesomely Tuned won at her third start.

The good looking filly was bred

by S Bunwarie and is out of the three-time winning Cataloochee mare, Awesome Beauty. The first son of Undbridled’s Song to stand here, Noble Tune a half-brother to dual Gr1 winner Honor Code, and stood his first season in 2014.

His first crop are now 2yo’s. Bred on the cross of Fappiano x Storm Cat that produced 2015 Triple Crown winner, American Pharoah, Noble Tune’s sire-line is unique to the South African studbook as Fappiano is now considered a new branch of the Mr Prospector sireline. He stands at Rathmor for a fee of R25 000.

Poor Frankie Dettori has become the latest casualty of the financial problems engulfing Al Shaqab Racing, with his six-figure contract with the Qatari conglomerate being halved in value. It was revealed last month that the operation - run by Sheikh Joaan al-Thani, the brother of the emir of Qatar — owed more than £1 million in unpaid fees to a number of Britain’s leading Flat racing trainers. Peter Burrell, Dettori’s agent, confirmed that the contract has been amended to reflect Al Shaqab’s shift in emphasis to France.

New Highlands stallion Canford Cliffs smart son Cliff’s Edge is the new favourite for the Gr1 Australian Guineas after an emphatic win in the Gr3 Manfred Stakes over 1200m at Caulfield on Saturday. On a great stakes winning day for Highlands new stallion, Cliff’s Edge’s victory came hours ahead of the facile win by his daughter Fish River for Mike de Kock at Turffontein in the Gr3 Three Troikas Stakes. His trainer Darren Weir has the Sydney carnival in his sights with Cliff’s Edge, who he believes is best at 2000m.

Bakkies Scrums Down Aggressive riding in an effort to obtain a clear run in the fourth race at Durbanville on Saturday landed a caution from the Stipes for jockey MJ ‘Bakkies’ Byleveld. At about the 500m Byleveld’s mount The Silva Fox shifted out to obtain a clear run on the outside of Black Pimpinel and in the process brushed So It Begins.

The knock-on effects of that drew the Stipes attention.

Dream Team

A big January has the partnership of Joao Moreira and John Size on target for their best return ever.

The original Hong Kong Dream Team jockey trainer combo of Douglas Whyte and Size set the current record for most wins when they racked up 54 wins together in 2009-10.

Not Funny Anymore They say ‘it’s about the rush!’ And where to find all the latest news about horseracing. The Racing It’s a Rush website – itsarush.co.za - must know something we don’t. The Sun Met hasn’t happened yet and Usain Bolt is still daring South Africans to celebrate their next victory. Roll on 1 April!

Heads Up? The Stipes don’t miss anything.

They fined SA’s most senior trainer Ormond Ferraris R2000 on 24 January under rule 58.9.2 - for failing to ensure that six individuals, whilst riding horses in his care, wore a serviceable skull cap of a type approved by the Chief Executive.

GIVE IN THE GROUND? A New Zealand racetrack has been flooded by a super tide described by witnesses as a ‘tsunami’. The Westport Trotting track, which is due to stage a meeting next month, was completely flooded by water from a nearby lagoon after a combination of a super moon king tide and a huge storm. And while 95% of the facility was submerged, there are no plans to cancel the upcoming meeting.

S’manga Khumalo

K

One of the keys to a long and successful career is knowing that sometimes you need to push and sometimes you need to back off. The skill lies in knowing when to do what. Dual SA champion jockey S’manga Khumalo has been taking time out to do just that.

humalo, who was last seen on our tracks at the Vaal meeting on 29 November 2017, has been on something of an enforced break to complete the second half of a medical procedure he had several years ago.

What happened A broken leg suffered in a fall back in 2011 required surgery and a screw in his knee. “When I fell, I broke my tibia. I don’t think the doctor that did op knew I was a jockey and he put the screw straight in, just to get me by,” he explains.

Although the pin did its job, S’manga’s career hit its upward trajectory shortly afterwards and he never got round to making the time to take it out. “It should have been removed a year after it was put in, but I rode with it for another few years. Things were going well and I was chasing the championship, so I didn’t want to take a break right then.”

However, in the longer term, with general riding wear and tear as well as riding short, compensating for the knee screw resulted in compensatory issues, including severe back pain, which eventually became debilitating enough to force S’manga to seek help.

Team decision In early December, he sat down with his boss. “Mr Tarry is my main trainer, so I had to sit down with him and tell him what was going on. We had a meeting with Erich van Niekerk and then had a full medical assessment done. That’s when they found out I wasn’t

aligned properly because of the knee and that was causing my back problems.”

“Because I’d been struggling with my back, we did some x-rays and tried to work out which side I was favouring more, which was the right side – the left side is where the problem was. Chiropractor Dr Mike Pritchard did try to align me, but said I would never be 100% unless we took the screw out.”

In addition, the screw was also found to be damaging the knee cartilage and it became clear that it was time for the screw to be removed.

“I said, ‘You know what? I’ve been riding with these aches and pains for three seasons. It’s been hard and I just want to get it sorted out. If we can find the problem, at least we can try and work on it and fix it.”

Surgery “Because of Christmas and all the holidays and so on, I could only get the surgery in January, so I carried on working with the chiropractor and biokineticist through December to help make my leg stronger before the operation.”

Surgery was scheduled for 11 January 2018.

S’manga was discharged two days later and has been working hard on getting back to the saddle.

Rehab S’manga reports that thanks to the efforts of his support team, plus Erich van Niekerk, his rehab is going ‘pretty great’. “I’d been seeing the chiropractor and biokineticist since early December and started working with them before I had the operation and that’s helped me recover a lot more quickly.”

In order to maintain his racing weight, he is on a calorie restricted

diet and is logging his progress on the ‘My Fitness Pal’ app. “Erich has the password and checks up on me every now and then,” he laughs. “It is quite strict, but I’ve dropped a kilo, which was my goal. Being off, you think you’re going to pick up weight, but this time round, I decided to stick with the diet and everything the biokineticist and chiropractor said, so that I won’t end up having to waste at the end and the only thing I’ll need to work on is fitness.”

Holistic approach All being well, S’manga will start work riding again on 13 February and he is looking forward to putting his knee to the test and seeing whether all the hard work has paid off.

“I haven’t done this before, so I’m excited for the 13th to see what we’ll do and also whether the exercises have worked and whether I’m still favouring one side.”

S’manga’s biokineticist, Jessica Weston, will be going to the track with him on his first day back to gain a better understanding of the rigours of a professional jockey and assess – and if necessary – tailor his rehab accordingly.

Comfort Any surgery carries risk and with a jockey’s body the tools of their trade, their very profession hangs on a successful outcome.

the help of sports psychologist Martin Scheepers to help keep him mentally focussed.

However, as always, it’s the team at home that have kept him going.

“I’m not from a racing background and always say it becomes a lot harder if you don’t have your family behind you. I’ve had great support from friends like Muzi Yeni who spent a lot of hours with me, and my family who have been very supportive. You don’t pull through if you don’t get support.”

Although it’s still early days, S’manga is happy with the results. “I feel great. I do feel different – if only I’d had this help a couple of years back, I might have done a lot better, but it’s one of those things,” he Confidence boost shrugs. “At the time I was chasing During his enforced break, the championship and doing well S’manga has kept his eye in by and I couldn’t think of taking time following racing. “A lot of the big off to nurse myself.”

The racing industry has a horses have been put away. Mr Tarry hasn’t run as many horses notoriously shortas he has over the term memory You don’t pull through if last 3 seasons and and with out of even ran less over you don’t get support sight, frequently the Cape season, so meaning out of the horses are rested mind, taking significant time off is nerve-wracking for any rider, but it’s and will be coming back fit and well. When we sat down and spoke been a team effort all the way.

“I didn’t want to do anything by about the operation, to help make myself and do the comeback by me comfortable with the decision, myself, but luckily I have the support Mr Tarry gave me the opportunity of Mr Tarry and Chris and Erich van of having my pick of the rides when Niekerk. They know I’m doing well I get back. That really helped, and they speak to the doctors all the because I want to come back and time and after all my sessions they still have a bit of confidence and to call to find out how I’m doing and have that support helps a lot.” so far it’s all been great. I couldn’t Back on Track have done it without Erich and When does he hope to be back Mr Tarry’s help. I feel a lot better in the saddle? “Obviously training and they know I am getting better. track fitness and race fitness are I’m also grateful to my sponsors, two different things. To start with, I’ll Mauritzfontein and Wilgerbosdrift for come to track and do my work riding their support while I’ve been off.” and within a week I should know if I’m ready. If it all goes according to Good break S’manga is very competitive plan, I would say by the first week of – how did he cope having March I should be riding in races.”

There are still a few weeks to go, to sit on the sidelines?

“Mentally, I did enjoy but S’manga has had his stitches the break. I lot of out, he is out of his knee brace and people say I did is off all medication. “I’ve got to try need a break. and feel where the problems are I’ve been trying and you can’t tell when you’re on for a couple of medication. I’ve been off everything seasons to get for about a week now, so we’ll to the top and see how we go. I’ve got a lot of haven’t had appointments with the biokineticist a break, so it and the chiropractor before I get actually helped.” back to training and riding.”

S’manga was gratified to hear In addition to the physical how many emails and enquiries rehab, S’manga have come in asking where he’s has also enlisted been and has promised his fans that it will have been worth the wait.

“I’m feeling better, I’ve learnt a lot of new things and I promise I’ll be back different and better than ever.”

To Think About

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

Course Specialist Scottsville 28 January Although the times would suggest otherwise the going was officially soft on Sunday. Three of the afternoon’s nine races were maiden plates over 1600m and stopping the clock in the fastest time amongst these was TWISTER VORTEX in the boy’s division. Easy to back at 6/1 on the off, Sean Tarry’s charge wasn’t the quickest into stride when the gates opened and as a result he raced in the backend of midfield. Once in the straight though he ran on best of all and showing good improvement he comfortably accounted for the 15/10 favourite BEAR HUG. The non-black type Marula Sprint was not surprisingly the faster of the two 1000m events and here victory went to the course specialist LONDON CALL. Now a winner of 8 from 11 over the trip, Mark Dixon’s charge set the pace. Just four went to post but despite that the pace was still a good one. He was headed by SHWANKY 600m out, but when given rein 300m later he quickly regained the lead. He ran on strongly in the closing stages of the race and won well by a length and a half.

A juvenile plate over 1200m opened up proceedings and in a race where there were no previous winners we saw a very easy victory for the favourite STREAM AHEAD. The son of Gimmethegreenlight got away well when the gates opened and soon up handy raced prominent throughout. He was ridden to lead as they approached the 200m marker and drew clear easily in the closing stages of the race to score by three and a quarter.

TITBITS Easily seven lengths off the pace at the top of the home straight, WILD WICKET fairly flew from the back when getting up in the dying strides to win the listed Michael Roberts Handicap over 1750m.

3 Day Runner Up Double

Silver Lining Vaal 30 January The first five races at the classic track on Tuesday were all staged over 1000m and the quickest home in these was COPPER JAY when getting off the mark in the boy’s maiden plate. Backed into the red at the track, the lightly raced son of Jay Peg was soon at the head of affairs. He was always in command and drew clear in good style to score by six after being given rein 300m out.

Two of the three remaining races were run over 1700m and quickest home here was the steadily improving BRAXTON in the MR76 Handicap. Ridden to lead 300m out, Lucky Houdalakis’ charge looked set for a place when AZKUR flew past 50m later. Finding extra once headed though, Braxton fought back gamely below the distance and got back up late to score by a half.

A MR80 Handicap over 1500m made up the afternoon’s fare and here victory went to the well supported SILVER GOD. Confidently ridden by JP v’d Merwe, the 3yo son of Silvano raced sixth of the seven for most of the journey. He ran on best of all when the race began in earnest and comfortably accounted for the ultra-consistent TOMMY WATERDEVIL by a length.

TITBITS The well-supported newcomer FREE AND EASY won the girls’ division of the maiden juvenile plate going away by two and a half.

Now a winner of two from four, THRONG came from the back when getting up in the dying strides to win the MR72 Handicap over 1700m.

Scottsville 31 January Racing returned to Pietermaritzburg on Wednesday where seven of the eight races were sprints. The odd race out was the MR72 Handicap over 1950m where the strongly fancied 3yo COYS did the business. Paul Lafferty’s charge was squeezed at the start and in a strung out field raced in the rear. Once in the home straight though he ran on best of all and comfortably accounted for the hat-trick seeking HERO QUEST after striking the front 100m from home.

1200m took the lion’s share of the afternoon’s eight races and the fastest of the four was the MR76 Handicap won by the 4/1 favourite ROYAL AGREE. Runner up to the talented London Call just two days earlier the second favourite SHWANKY was the first to make a move and struck the front going through the 400m. Running on stoutly from the backend of midfield though, Royal Agree flew past that one in good style 120m out and won going away by two.

The three remaining races were all staged over 1000m and quickest home here was MISS MILLIONAIRE when causing a major upset in the MR66 Handicap. Freely available at 66/1 on the off, Belinda Impey’s charge raced in midfield during the early part of the race. She ran on strongly over the final 400m and comfortably accounted for the fancied DEEP DOWN REBEL by three quarters.

TITBITS Up with the speed throughout, FIRST MATE showed considerable improvement when cruising clear in the closing stages to win the maiden plate over TOP SPEED RATINGS 1000m by four.

Work Rider’s Day Vaal 1 February There were a number of very easy victories on work rider’s day at the Vaal’s inside track on Thursday and none more so than that of FORT AUGUSTUS in the maiden plate over 2000m. At the head of affairs throughout, the Fort Wood gelding was four lengths clear going through the 400m. He quickened well at that point and doubled his advantage on the run to the line.

Another to win by a steeplechase margin on this card was LITTLEWOOD in the maiden 1500m. Freely available at 14/1 on the off the lesser fancied of Lucky Houdalakis’ two runners was a little slow into stride and as a result she raced in midfield early on. She was

ridden to lead at the 200m pole and cruised clear in the closing stages of the race to score by seven.

The only distance on the nine race program to stage more than one race was 1200m where the faster of the two maiden plates was the girl’s affair won by GRETO. Sent off a strong favourite at 21/10, Scot Kenny’s charge was always handy and with the rest some six lengths adrift she beat the running on BELLA CIAO by a length.

TITBITS Returning from a 95 week layoff here, the Sean Tarry trained TORCEDOR won the maiden plate over 1200m very easily by five.

Easy Money Fairview 2 February Topping the bill on Friday’s turf card was the non-black type Fairview Mile and in what proved to be the fastest of the three 1600m events we saw a comfortable victory for the visiting FIFTY CENTS. Sent off a strong favourite at 15/10, Justin Snaith’s charge was content to sit sixth of the eight for most of the journey. He made his move early in the long home straight and went on to score with authority after striking the front 330m or so from home.

They also ran three races over 1000m and quickest against the clock here was the ultraconsistent STAR BURST GALAXY in the pinnacle stakes. Soon up handy, Tara Laing’s charge put her head in front going through the 200m and won going away from the easy to back LAWS OF SUCCESSON. The faster of the two 1200m races was the MR72 Handicap in which the 3yo COPPER TRAIL caused an upset. Easy to back at 13/1 on the off Yvette Bremner’s charge was always handy.

He ran on strongly at the business end of the race and with the rest well beaten he got the better of another easy to back runner in SOVIET COSMONAUT. TITBITS The 13/1 shot QUEEN JUSTINE didn’t find the clearest of passages when running on from the rear to fill third position in the MR68 Handicap over 1600m.

Durbanville’s Twilight Meeting

N

With the Sun Met fading into the distance of our rearview mirrors, racing shifted to Durbanville for Saturday, 3 February 2018 and to add a bit of fun and spice (as well as to give folks a chance to get some shopping and a few chores done in the morning), the day was scheduled as a twilight meeting.

o matter which approach road one takes, the drive to Durbanville is a particularly scenic one, and having either travelled through the Durbanville wine route, over the winding Vissershok road or alternatively along Adderley Road, the short car trip is just long enough for the gentle rolling countryside to work its magic and almost without fail, one seems to roll into the gates in a positive frame of mind.

The weather was bright and sunny, but luckily not too hot and by the 3pm start, the worst of the day’s heat was more or less gone, so all in all, it promised to be a great day out.

Crowds

I get rather excited to have to park away from the main gates as a full car park means spectators on course and last Saturday I had to park down near the manager’s cottage – what a thrill!

Approaching from that end of the course also meant that I got to see the jumping castle – and instead of the standard construct, this weekend’s one was in the form of racing lanes with toy horses for the children to race down – which was a nice touch in keeping with the day. There were also glitter tattoos as well as sand art on offer to keep the little ones occupied, plus a table of toys for sale. However, there is seldom much to beat a good old fashioned ball and a group of boys put the lawn space to good use.

Luella Robinson had worked hard to round up support and there were so many lovely people that one

seldom encounters at the races, but really should. Folks such as physio extraordinaire Shannon Petiteaud, representatives from the local tack shops, Western Shoppe and Tack Shack in particular – all of whom found it interesting, but wanted to know why the day hadn’t been better advertised.

Fish where the fish are

As one of those things that make me go ‘hmm’, it led me to wondering why, if racing is a horse sport, we do not appeal first and foremost to other horse people? And if it follows that one should fish where the fish are, how is it possible we do not advertise in local tack shops to let other horse folks know what we’re up to?

I took one such horsey friend to the New Year’s day meeting at Durbanville this year. As she is better at social media than I am, she posted a photo of our outing, tagging her location. My friend happens to have grown up in the area, but now lives in Johannesburg. However, she obviously still has friends and contacts in the Cape and it was interesting to see the response to her Facebook post, with most of her horsey friends expressing surprise that she’d gone racing on their doorstep while they weren’t even aware there was a meeting happening. Food for thought?

Entertainment

The South African Association of Professional Farriers had come along for the day and hosted a farriery competition, adding activity and chat while they honed their craft.

A large Bedouin tent stretched

the shade over the concourse area, and with additional tables and chairs arranged below, turned the usually rather drab and uninviting area into a lovely, user-friendly space.

The day’s live band, the all girl duo of Natalie Mostert and Belinda Prinsloo, who perform together as Twixx, not only worked their socks off all afternoon, they also actively helped promote the event via their social media platforms. Better yet, they were not only good behind the mics, but were obviously well briefed and incredibly courteous in ensuring they did not perform during the canter downs or racing.

Buzz

The upstairs members area as well as the deck was jam packed and downstairs was buzzing too.

The kiosk kept the foot traffic fed and watered and for those who like something a little stronger with their water, the Drifter Brewing Company were there with ice cold beer on tap as well as Gin & Tonics. There was a good knot of people around the parade ring all day and even spectators to shout home our horses from the rail – what fun !

The other lovely attraction of Durbanville is that you almost always bump into old friends and Saturday was no exception. Jacqui and Victor Hodgkinson and Peter Bedford from the old Cape Hunt days were there, and even a celebrity in the form of Mark Sutherland and his family, who had come out for a day’s racing.

There were family groups camped out on the lawns and even people sitting in the old grandstand.

Racing

The racing was good – with several longer distance events, it offered a spectacle for visitors as horses passed the stands twice and there were plenty of competitive finishes as well. With a lot of the season’s feature runners enjoying a break before heading to Durban, it was a chance for some of our smaller yards to shine and congratulations to the

Adam Marcus yard in particular for a nice double on the day. Apprentices Louis Burke and Sandile Mbhele got some mileage under their belts, while our senior jockeys ensured competitive racing.

Classical Shadows

A

Surcharge

Both Arctica (Captain Al) and Surcharge (Gimmethegreenlight), winners of Saturday’s Listed Wolf Power 1600 and Gr3 Tony Ruffel Stakes, hail from powerful European classic families.

rctica is out of the mare Little Grey Wolf, whose sire, Indian Ridge is an excellent broodmare sire, with his daughters having produced at least 90 stakes winners.

Indian Ridge, who died in 2006, is broodmare sire of Gr1 winners Wilko (Breeders’ Cup Juvenile), Dancing Rain (Epsom, German Oaks), Reel Buddy (Sussex Stakes), Charming Thought (Middle Park Stakes), Profitable (King’s Stand Stakes), Dolniya (Dubai Sheema Classic), Excelebration (QE II Stakes and sire of Gr1 winner, Barney Roy), Nighttime (Irish 1000 Gns and dam of Gr1 winner, Zhukova), Desert Blanc (Manhattan Hcp), Halfway To Heaven (Irish 1000 Guineas and dam of Gr1 winner, Rhododendron), Nahoodh (Falmouth S), and Kingsgate Native (Nunthorpe Stakes).

Indian Ridge is also sire of the important broodmare, Kangra Valley, dam of Gr1 winning sprinters Airwave (Salse) and Jwala (Oasis Dream), and Kangra Valley is also the third dam of champion, Churchill, and his Gr1 Cheveley Park Stakes winning own sister, Clemmie. The latter made history when becoming the first daughter of Galileo to win a Gr1 feature over 1200m.

Power Pedigree

Little Grey Wolf was not among her sire’s best daughters on the track, only making one appearance. However, what she lacked in racing record, she more than made up for in pedigree. Little Grey Wolf was half-sister to stakes winner Cold Cold Woman and the Gr1 performer.

Robin Hood, and is granddam of Irish 1000 Guineas winner, Arctique Royale, the ancestress of numerous high class racehorses the world over.

Arctique Royale (Royal And Regal) was an excellent broodmare, producing four group winners to the cover of three different stallions, with her best runner perhaps being Irish Oaks second, Russian Snows (Sadler’s Wells). Her Musidora Stakes winning dam, Arctic Melody (Arctic Slave), is also second dam of dual Gold Cup winner and Arc de Triomphe runner-up, Ardross (Run The Gauntlet).

Not only was Ardross regarded as one of the century’s great stayers, but the gallant bay was voted Europe’s (and Britain’s} Horse Of The Year in 1982, sadly an honour almost unheard of these days.

His wins included 13 pattern races, with Ardross going down by a head in the 1982 Arc de Triomphe.

Other high class recent performers descended from Arctic Melody include Irish Oaks winner and increasingly successful broodmare, Moonstone (Dalakhani), whose Frankel colt, Nelson,

River Keen

won the Gr3 Juvenile Stakes in Ireland last year. Moonstone is also dam of disappointing Investec Derby runner up, US Army Ranger (Galileo), and three other stakes winners. Ill-fated Dubai World Cup winner, Electrocutionist (Red Ransom), French Gr1 winner, Cerulean Sky (Darshaan) and 2017 Prix Marcel Boussac winner, Wild Illusion (Dubawi) are other notable performers descended from this important tap-root.

Members of this family have enjoyed success in many spheres, ranging from Royal Ascot to Mexico, and the likes of Nelson can well ensure that further success comes the way of Arctic Melody and her descendants.

Jooste Colt Breaks Europe Record THE Markus Jooste and China Horse Club owned 2,000 Guineas and Derby prospect Willie John became the highest priced colt in training ever sold in Europe at public auction when knocked down to Roger Varian for 1,900,000 guineas on the second day of the Tattersalls February Sale last Friday.

The result pushed turnover for the sale into record territory for the fourth year in succession, with the 299 lots sold realising a total of 8,037,150 guineas, up 40% on last year. The average of 26,880 guineas was also a record whilst the median came in at 7,000 guineas.

Willie John had impressed many with his victory on debut at Yarmouth and with a pedigree to drool over and Classic dreams very alive, it was no surprise to see the Tattersalls ring swell with potential suitors. Oliver St Lawrence kicked off the bidding at 200,000 guineas and with trainer Ed Dunlop, the pair traded blows, taking the

by Sharpen Up). Both Kris (Champion Sire in 1985 in Britain) and Diesis (sire of three Epsom Oaks winners) have had considerable influence on the stud book. Between them, Kris and Diesis have sired five Epsom Oaks winners (Kris is also damsire of Oaks winner Moonshell), and a total of more than 160 stakes winners. Both are outstanding broodmare sires (Kris is damsire of leading sires, Kodiac and Invincible Spirit, among others), while Diesis’ five time Gr1 winning son, Halling, proved a decent sire in his own right, with Halling’s offspring including 50 stakes winners, headed by Irish Derby hero, Jack Hobbs. Diesis sired Richmond/Champagne Stakes winner, Daggers Drawn (subsequently a Gr1 sire in New Zealand) from No Angel’s descendant, Sun And Shade, making the chestnut inbred to No Angel.

price towards seven figures. Newsells Park Stud’s Julian Dollar soon joined the fray along with agents Anthony Stroud, Hugo Lascelles and Ed Sackville as the price raced past 1,000,000 guineas. Cheveley Park Stud’s Chris Richardson soon joined in the battle to secure the colt as did trainer Roger Varian with the latter proving successful at 1,900,000 guineas.

“He is for Sheikh Mohammed Obaid,” said Varian.

“He already has a Dubawi from the family and he identified this colt as one that he would like – we were very happy to do the steering.”

Willie John is by Dansili out of the dual Gr1 winner Izzi Top and from the Meon Valley family of Zee Zee Top, Kayf Tara , Opera House and Necklace. He was purchased at Book 1 of the 2016 October Yearling Sale for 325,000 guineas and raced for the China Horse Club and Markus Jooste. He was consigned to the February Sale by William Haggas’ Somerville Lodge.

Top Family

The very promising, Surcharge, is another from an outstanding family, associated with the late Baron Howard de Walden. A winner of five of his seven starts thus far, Surcharge is directly descended from one of the finest mares in the British stud book in the form of No Angel (Nasrullah).

The latter, whose son, Young Lochnivar (Elopement), was a leading sire in India, has had a significant impact through her daughters, with No Angel’s influence continuing to be felt today.

De Walden purchased champion filly, Soft Angels (a granddaughter of Surcharge’s fifth dam, No Angel) and Soft Angels went on to produce Doubly Sure, dam of champions and top class stallions, Kris and Diesis (both

Keen, a less distinguished full brother to Diesis and Kris, also made his mark at stud, as the sire of multiple Gr1 winner, River Keen, and SA Australian Oaks winner, Gamine. The latter produced a daughter, Elfenjer, dam of South African champion and Gr1 Dubai Sheema Classic heroine. Sun Classique.

The No Angel family has also enjoyed much other success locally, thanks to the likes of Count Dubois, sire of champions Asylum Seeker, Edict Of Nantes, and French Navy, and the graded stakes winners, Captain’s Wild and Coltrane. No Angel is the fifth dam of Gran Criterium winner, Count Dubois (Zafonic), and she rates as sixth dam of Coltrane (Giant’s Causeway) and fourth dam of Gr2 Colorado King Stakes winner, Captain’s Wild (Captain Al).Former Guineas runner up, Havasha (Kahal), is another smart local performer descended from No Angel.

Count Dubois’s half-brother, Indian Haven (Indian Ridge), provided the family with more classic success when he won the 2003 Irish 2000 Guineas, while multiple group winner, Imperial Stride (a ¾ brother to Indian Haven), like Count Dubois, was retired to stud in South Africa, where his runners include Gr3 Spring Spree Stakes winner, Will Pays.
