PAULINE HERMAN

Game galloper Cloud Atlas can challenge if she settles

BREEDERS GUINEAS (L) at Fairview this Friday

The Sun Met winning combination are out at Fairview on Friday where the Cape raiders take on a classy local contingent in the R150 000 Listed Breeders Guineas to be run on the turf at Fairview.

he rollercoaster of champagne and caviar one week, versus bread and butter the next, continues as we come off the high of Guineas day last weekend to a slightly more frugal diet of listed features at Fairview and Turffontein On Saturday. The Breeders Guineas feature at Fairview has attracted a field of ten runners, with three Cape raiders in Glen Kotzen (Luna Child & Star Evolution) and Justin Snaith (Merysagos) making the trip up the scenic Garden Route.

Good Form The partnership of Snaith, Grant van Niekerk and the Drakenstein Stud team provided us with Gr1 fireworks on a historic Sun Met day six weeks ago and they are at Fairview on Friday with 2017 Listed Lady’s Bracelet winner, Merysagos.

The daughter of Captain Al has smart PE form and comes off a 9 week break following her convincing Lady’s Bracelet success over the course and distance. Ironically she walloped last year’s Breeders Guineas winner there in Beataboutthebush, who was giving her 6kgs. Merysagos’ previous run in the Eastern Cape was an eyecatching third to Investec Cape Derby third-placer Pack Leader, when beaten 2,50 lengths. That’s fair collateral!

Defence Alan Greeff and Greg Cheyne may not have been at their usual peak sparkling form in recent weeks but defend their title of last term with the Varsfontein Stud-bred Gimmethegreenlight filly, Queen Forever. The Listed Lady’s Slipper winner has won 3 of 5 starts and tries a mile for the first time. She has shown a professional approach

to her racing and looks like she will get the trip easily. Yvette Bremner’s Widow’s Lamp is one of the most improved fillies around since trying ground and has won her last three starts in the fashion of a horse going places. She is unbeaten at Friday’s course and distance and with an in-form trainerjockey combination, can trouble the top rated duo. Gavin Smith’s Cloud Atlas hung on doggedly to beat What A Player last time but does look held by Merysagos on her Lady’s Bracelet fourth, when 4,75 lengths off. She was unsettled in running there and this could have affected her chances of performing to her true ability. That said, she only has her second try at the mile and she will have to be ridden with more restraint in this company. She is, however, very game and could give them cheek. Glen Kozten’s Luna Child has come into her own as a 3yo and ran just over 3 lengths off Gr1 winner Lady In Black last season. Her two recent handicap wins over the Kenilworth mile suggest she is fit and capable of at least running into the back end of quartets here. What A Player was runner-up in both the Aloe Handicap and the Breeders Guineas Plate and is 2kgs

worse off with Cloud Atlas on her last run. She is obviously not the Greeff stable elect but it is worth noting that she is out of a Darshaan mare who gets them to stay on. She will be running at them late and can be watched over a bit further as she strengthens up.

Star Material Glen Kotzen also brings recent Cape maiden winner Star Evolution up for a dip in the deep end. The daughter of Var – a full sister to local hardknocker Star Burst Galaxy - is difficult to assess, but is improving and could give them a surprise. That said, she beat Alfred’s Girl at her maiden win, but that one followed up with a weak fifth behind Bendy Bullet at Kenilworth on Saturday. Second of the Gavin Smith duo, Gitango Tonight maintained a consistent run of places following her polytrack mile maiden success back in October. She blotted her copybook with a shocker of a run last time when 16 lengths off Crown Court in slightly sticky going. She is nicely drawn on the rail, but looks outclassed in this company. Burning Mist shed her maiden on the polytrack over 1200m and looks very well held by a few in this lineup. She really doesn’t boast the

form credentials to win a race of this nature. Fourth of the Greeff quartet is the Irish Flame filly Giovanna, who is yet to win on turf – having won both her races on the polytrack. She looks well held by Widow’s Lamp and could struggle off a rating of 70 at level weights.

Local Hope Queen Forever tries the mile for the first time and looks the most serious hurdle for the Snaith team and Merysagos to negotiate. Widow’s Lamp is getting better with every start, while Cloud Atlas is a cheeky and lionhearted forward galloper who could stretch them all. Include Luna Child in bigger perms.

STORM BIRD STAKES (L) at Turffontein this Saturday

Van Halen Can Rock Them

Corne Spies is a master at getting the 2yo’s ready for race action. His five runners in Saturday’s R150 000 Listed Storm Bird Stakes at Turffontein suggests that the former Zimbabwe champion means business.

eading 2yo sire Var as well as Bold Silvano and Pomodoro, have ten of the thirteen runners between them and a keenly contested affair is in the offing. The well-named Oratorio gelding Van Halen spreadeagled his opposition on his 800m Turffontein debut – when backed to 11/10 – and gets an opportunity under Anton Marcus to make good on his odds-on flop at

his second start. He ran out of puff late there and was passed by Robbie Sage’s William The Silent. The latter now takes Van Halen on at 3kgs worse terms and there should be little between these two smart looking youngsters. Mazari has won two of her four starts and is a speedy sort. Her course and distance win at her last start was an eyecatching one and she must have a place chance at best.

Piere Strydom takes the ride on two-time winner Miss Boomerang, who was beaten over 3 lengths by stablemate Mazari last time - but is 2kgs better off here. She won her first two starts in good fashion and has the master of pace aboard to extract every half length out of her – where she will need it. Sean Tarry’s Royal Italian has his first Gauteng start after showing up well at his two Cape summer season outings. He was a fairly well beaten third to Traces in the Listed Summer Juvenile Stakes on Met day but ran on steadily – and could be ready to challenge if fit after a 6 week break. Cyber Special is still a maiden after 4 starts and looks very well held by William The Silent and Van Halen. Rule The Night beat Pieces Of

Gold at 11/10 to win on debut over Saturday’s course-and-distance. The son of Var ran green but showed good speed and won going away. Anthony Delpech teams up with Gavin van Zyl on the well-supported Vaal debut winner Bold Eagle, who got the better of Running Brave first time out. Vaal debut winner Lethal Weapon finished over 8 lengths behind Miss Boomerang at his second start and although 2kgs better off with the Spies runner, looks held. Barend Botes’ Royal Delight gets 3kgs from Van Halen but was comprehensively beaten by the Spies colt on debut and will need to improve further. Three well-bred sons of Var make their respective debut and Dewali,

Monks Hood and Anthony Delpech are well clear in a scintillating win

Gordon’s Flash Of Genius I

JC PHOTOS

Rags-to-riches gelding Monks Hood soared into the top flight of his generation with a runaway victory in the R1 million Gr2 Gauteng Guineas at Tuffontein on Saturday.

Gr2 GAUTENG GUINEAS Turffontein last Saturday

n the process, Alistair Gordon’s son of Querari, who hails from a relatively small breeding operation in the Eastern Cape, made it two wins in four years for KZN raiders in the SA Triple Crown opener. A galloping billboard of living evidence that horses can improve dramatically in months, Monks Hood put a quiet start to his 3yo season well behind him, fulfilling the confidence shown by his veteran trainer and slamming a field widely described as the strongest renewal in many years. The capacity Guineas field included the undefeated and much vaunted Majestic Mambo, as well as Tony Ruffel winner Surcharge, and the balance of the best that Gauteng and KZN has to offer in the classic generation.

Anthony Delpech had the Dingaans winner relaxed ahead of midfield as Majestic Mambo’s stablemate Alssakhra ensured an honest gallop ahead of State Trooper and Pietro Mascagni. In the run for home, Monks Hood could be seen moving up steadily and at the 300m he hit the front full of running to score a facile win by 5,50 lengths in a time of 96,69 secs. The classy Surcharge, racing from a wide draw, emerged from the pack to chase for second – setting himself up for a big run in the SA Classic. Mike de Kock filled third and fourth places, with Royal Crusade and Noble Secret, respectively. Both showed that they could play a role in the second and third legs in April and May.

Big Bear failed to feature, running ten lengths back, while Majestic Mambo was 3,25 lengths behind him. The Paul Peter runner was coltish in the pre-race parade and the connections have some tough decisions to make with the handsome colt! Champion jockey Anthony Delpech was elated at the big win for his sponsors. “I didn’t expect him to destroy them like this. Everything went smoothly in the race. I was going a half pace at the 300m – I decided to give them the slip, rather than wait!” On a question about the second leg, Delpech added that he felt that it would not be the right thing to bring Monks Hood back to Joburg for the SA Classic. Trainer Alistair Gordon said that the win had

confirmed his sentiment that his charge had improved from the Dingaans. Owner Mary Slack that she couldn’t believe that her horse was cantering at the 300m. “I didn’t even have to scream,” she laughed. Bred by Arne and the late Ben Botha, Monks Hood is a son of Querari (Oasis Dream) out of the three-time winner Amber Boquet (Camden Park). A R375 000 National Yearling Sale buy, Monks Hood has won 4 races with 4 places from 8 starts and stakes of R1 136 500. He also banked the BSA Added Value Stakes Bonus of R102 500. The next leg of the SA Triple Crown is the R2-million Gr1 SA Classic run over 1800m on Saturday 7April. The third leg is the R2 million Gr1 SA Derby run over 2450m on Saturday 5 May.

Callan Murray has Takingthepeace in front where it counts as Muzi Yeni gets Green Top into third

Mike de Kock broke the Sean Tarry stranglehold on the R500 000 Gr2 Gauteng Guineas in spectacular style at Turffontein.

hile the victory by Visionaire daughter Takingthepeace had plenty of in-house emotion attached to it, the win by a lesser fancied De Kock galloper caught punters wrong-footed. Reigning SA champion Sean Tarry was going for his fourth consecutive victory in the Johannesburg first leg of the SA Triple Tiara, but Mike de Kock arrived at the party with a class quintet of runners and turned the race into a fairytale advertisement for

new generation racehorse ownership. While her Three Troikas winning stablemate Fish River looked the natural stable elect, the superstitious few may have included the 20-1 Takingthepeace on some alliterative pointers – the letter M playing a part in the names of owners Murray Makepeace, Michael Shea – son of top jockey Kevin – and Matthew de Kock, as well as jockey Callan Murray, who was aboard for the first time. Some of the more scientific shrewdies may also have taken a position on Takingthepeace’s scope

for improvement at her first try at the mile. And the fact that, despite being confined to sprints – beyond her fourth to Fish River in the 1400m Three Troikas last time – she looks to have the blood to be effective over further. With Aurelia Cotta taken out at the start, reducing the field to 12, Takingthepeace was dropped out to second last by Callan Murray as Pale Lilac led Cashel Palace and Silver Thursday, with the fancied Fish River tucked away in fourth. In the run for home, Takingthepeace had the entire field to get past and looked under pressure to find a top half finish as Cashel Palace and Folk Dance ranged up

dangerously, with Silver Thursday staying on well. With her head turned towards the crowd, Takingthepeace drifted to the outside and started making ground – but still looking to need to get lucky to find the money. As Weichong Marwing and Silver Thursday looked likely winners. Takingthepeace – still an awkward ride – eventually found her best finish to catch the winner in the final 100m and won going away by a quarter length in a time of 97,91 secs. In a race of mostly good fortunes for the De Kock yard, the winner’s stablemate Silver Thursday ran second with Alec Laird longshot Green Top in third.

Folk Dance flattered briefly but plodded late into fourth. Fish River had every chance but faded out to run close on 13 lengths behind. Takingthepeace was purchased for R280 000 off the CTS Johannesburg Ready To Run Sale by Form Bloodstock. Bred by Summerhill Stud, the winner, named Sagano at sale, is a daughter of Visionaire (Grand Slam) out of the three-time winner, Lisa Anne (Rambo Dancer). Takingthepeace has won 4 races with 3 places from 8 starts for stakes of R800 125. The dream rolls on – the R1 million SA Fillies Classic over 200m further on 7 April is next.

Will Pays stays on well under Craig Zackey

Gr2 HAWAII STAKES Turffontein last Saturday

Azzie Hawaii Celebration

Doing The Splits

Veteran trainer Mike Azzie and his business partner son Adam ticked an emotional item off their career bucket list, when they saddled their first winner of the race named after a great horse trained by Mike’s Grandfather, George.

he trainer of over 2000 winners, including three July Handicaps and three consecutive Holiday Inns, the late George Azzie described Hawaii as the best horse he had ever trained, before the son of Utrillo left our shores to continue his career in the United States. And on Saturday, the family had plenty of reason to celebrate a champagne performance by a 6yo who had to overcome some trauma and a slow start to win a race close to their hearts. Maybe it’s just one of those things, but South African racing has a problem sticking to timetables. The R250 000 Gr2 Hawaii Stakes launched the Turffontein Guineas Day feature programme, going off over ten minutes late, thanks to shoeing issues and troublesome horses. The Mike Azzie team endured some nailbiting minutes at the start after their stable star Will Pays and the Sean Tarry-trained Matador Man had to be reshod. After the farrier had completed his work, the topweighted Kangaroo Jack and the filly She’s A Giver weren’t overenthusiastic about the task at hand, and added to the delay. When they eventually were sent on their way, regular slow-starter Matador Man, and the eventual winner Will Pays, were slow out, as Sir David Baird

and Amazing Strike disputed the lead ahead of Captain Aldo. Sir David Baird looked dangerous at the 500m as fellow 3yo Full Mast almost moved into contention. But making up many lengths in the straight, it was the latter’s stablemate Will Pays, who ground away under regular pilot Craig Zackey, reeling in his free-striding stablemate at the 250m to drew away to an impressive win by 0,75 lengths over the late-finishing Coral Fever in a time of 83,46 secs. Coral Fever was running fresh off his Met bid and he showed plenty of toe in the blinkers and dropping back in distance. The winner’s stablemate Full Mast was threatening for a long way and ran a nice third ahead of the consistent Amazing Strike. Kangaroo Jack appeared to go wrong in running, finishing close on 30 lengths back. Craig Zackey said his mount had been working well all week and he was confident about winning the race for the Azzies. Will Pays was bred by Northfields Stud and is by Imperial Stride (Indian Ridge) out of the top-class six time winner, Rattlebag (Jallad). This was his biggest career win to date, with a scoresheet of 10 wins with 11 places from 32 starts for stakes of R1 148 900.

The Gr2 Fillies Guineas wasn’t quick early, slowed in the lead-up to the false rail, then resulting in a sprint home. A false run race, where the result will need to be tested in time to come. After a pretty average first 300m in the Gr2 Guineas, Alssakhra struck the front from a wide draw and a brisk pace then ensued. Comparatively the second fastest of the eight races around the turn, but even so false run (more like 1400m than a 1600m race). The winner was impressive in the sprint for home, but here too the reliability of the result will need to be confirmed in future events. Run (officially) just 1/100th of a second slower than the Guineas, the Gr3 Acacia Handicap was quick early in comparison, before predictably resulting in a slower finish given the early exertions. The 1800m Pinnacle Stakes looked steady during the early part of the race, before producing the fastest times from the false rail onward. The Gr2 Hawaii Stakes was comparatively the fastest of the eight races around the turn, with a good solid pace throughout.

Gr3 ACACIA HANDICAP Turffontein last Saturday Simply Royal (Ray Danielson) registers her first stakes win

The European Commission (EC) has adopted a decision of the EC Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed to treat horses in the Equine Disease Free Zone (EDFZ) in Conghua, Guangzhou as having equivalent health status as horses in Hong Kong SAR.

his means that horses at the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s Conghua Training Centre (CTC) will be treated the same, for residency purposes prior to temporary export to the 28 member countries of the European Union including the United Kingdom, Ireland and France, as all horses currently at Sha Tin. The EC decision followed a site inspection carried out in December, in conjunction with the International Conference on the Equine Disease Free Zone (ICEDFZ) jointly hosted by the Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) and the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) of the Hong Kong SAR. Dr Alf-Eckbert Fussel, Deputy Head of Unit, Animal Health and Welfare for the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety, represented the Commission at the ICEDFZ.

SA Champion trainer Sean Tarry saddled the top two home in the R250 000 Gr3 Acacia Handicap at Turffontein on Saturday with a duo of beautifully bred fillies fighting over the spoils in a rousing finish to the Fillies Guineas curtain raiser.

n a lukewarm betting race, Tarry always looked to have a strong hand and it was the more fancied stablemate Redberry Lane who went out to show the way early under Lyle Hewitson, with Simply Royal relaxed in midfield. Into the straight Redberry Lane continued to gallop powerfully as she drifted to the inside rail, pursued by Sylvan On Fire. Under a confident ride by Raymond Danielson, Simply Royal

found some time to catch her breath. But she got going when it mattered, and even though the gap on the rail shrunk, she bravely galloped on and found a good finish to hold Redberry Lane to a half length in a time of 96,7 secs. The free-running Redberry Lane, still only a one-time winner, was registering her fifth runner-up placing on the trot, and must be overdue to win soon. Candice Dawson’s Sylvan On Fire

stayed on well a further 1,50 lengths back, with Sabina’s Dynasty coming from far back to secure fourth. A R2,7 million 2015 National Yearling Sale purchase – where she was the fourth top lot sold – the well-related Simply Royal was registering her first stakes success and took her tally to 4 wins from 7 starts for stakes of R361 875. An Ascot Stud-bred daughter of champion Silvano (Lomitas), the winner, who races in the AL Adiyaat SA silks, is out of the multiple winner producing Gr1 Thekwini Stakes victress , Royal Fantasy (Al Mufti). Simply Royal is bred on the same Silvano/Al Mufti cross as champions Bold Silvano and Kings Gambit.

Temporary Movement “The European Commission’s decision formally recognises that the racehorse population at the Conghua Training Centre within the EDFZ will have exactly the same high-health status as horses stabled at Sha Tin. Such a decision will continue to enable the temporary movement of horses between all of the member countries within the European Union and Hong Kong for international races held at Sha Tin and vice versa,” said Mr Andrew Harding, Executive Director, Racing Authority. “The EC decision re-affirms the platinum-standard of the biosecurity arrangements which have been made to support our CTC operations.” The EC decision recognising the EDFZ’s high-health status comes after the same outcome was achieved with the United States. Prior to the EC’s action, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, following collaboration with the HKJC and AFCD, has similarly advised that no additional residency in Hong Kong would be required for exports to America

as a consequence of the EDFZ in Conghua being utilised. The update published in the Official Journal of the European Union is formally registered as Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/218 of 13 February 2018.

SAEVA Congress

Report Back The NHA Chief Veterinarian, Dr Eugene Reynders, attended the 51st SAEVA congress, held in the Western Cape last month. Highlights from the congress, published in the latest monthly newsletter of the NHA, which is carried on www.sportingpost.co.za, included the following: Field Exercise Evaluations: Post exercise measurement of ‘lactate’ has been the standard of indicating muscle damage and fitness in racehorses, but new research is showing that measuring ammonia post exercise can indicate ‘what a horse is capable of doing’. Exercise Induced Pulmonary Haemorrhage (EIPH): Important causes is inflammatory airway disease (IAD) which leads to capillary stress failure in the lungs, which leads to bleeding in the airways and obstruction to airflow in the respiratory tract. Treatments are aimed at reducing IAD as well as ensuring maximum airflow in the airways, roarers are more susceptible to EIPH. Indications are that nasal strips may be beneficial. On the controversial question of “down time”, it takes 4 to 6 weeks for ruptured capillaries to repair. Research showed that complete withholding of water intake did not reduce the incidence of EIPH.

Snaith Again

Deputy Daughter Does It

The Justin Snaith Racing Team continued their bright run of form when the Australianbred Sir Frenchie easily accounted for his six rivals to win the R150 000 Listed Ibhayi Stakes. With light rain falling intermittently and an earlier track inspection, conditions on the turf were a little more testing – but the Australian bred Sir Frenchie showed that he has found his confidence, with a second straight stakes success. The Listed Sophomore Sprint winner had started his career as a promising 2yo, but went off the boil and is only now starting to show his true ability. With his dam having won up to a mile, he has always suggested that he could well be a better horse round the turn and he won the 1400m 3yo feature in the style of a horse who could return to the SA Champions arena for a second try this year. Under Grant van Niekerk, Sir Frenchie was never under threat and galloped powerfully to win by 1,75 lengths in a time of 86.11 secs.

He races in a partnership of Australian-based William Henderson and George businessman Braam van Huyssteen – who was on course with his ‘good luck charm’ daughter to watch all of his sixteen runners! Local challenger Paper Town was next best in second, with Kimberley Star staying on for third a further 1,25 lengths adrift. An A$82,500 Magic Millions Adelaide purchase for Paul Lafferty from the Attunga Stud draft, Sir Frenchie is by Coolmore stallion Choisir (Danehill Dancer) out of the four-time winning Viscount mare Volando. He was resold here on the 2016 CTS Cape Ready To Run Sale for R500 000. Sir Frenchie has won 4 races with 4 places from 13 starts for stakes of R472 750. Jockey Keanan Steyn rode two winners on the afternoon, while Gavin Smith, and the in-form Tara Laing, shared the training honours with two wins apiece.

The Lammerskraal Stud-bred Go Deputy filly Tambalang opened new career horizons when, trying the 2400m for the first time, she powered home to win the Listed Aquanaut Handicap. Sean Tarry was once again to the fore on the big day – winning 40% of the features – although, probably not winning exactly the two he may have picked, had he had the choice. But in a tough game, everybody takes what they can get and the 4yo Tambalang looks to have a future in the staying ranks, after a resolute win. As the handily weighted Sheet Weaver led the way, Lyle Hewitson found himself and Tambalang the bridge between two races within-a-race, as fifteen lengths covered the two groups of runners. The backmarkers seemed inordinately relaxed about what was happening up front! Hewitson kept Tambalang covered for as long as he could, before producing the the 4yo with a

challenge at the 400m. With nothing really quickening off the muddling pace, Tambalang stayed on best to hold Kitty’s Destiny to 1,25 lengths in a time of 154,02 secs. The winner’s stablemate Witchcraft was well beaten, a further 3,75 lengths away in third. The fancied Kilrain was probably left with too much to do and he failed to make the frame, despite staying on from way back. Purchased for R100 000 by Chris van Niekerk’s Rainbow Beach Trading off the 2015 Lanzerac Ready To Run Sale, the Lammerskraal Stud-bred Tambalang is a daughter of Go Deputy (Deputy Minister) out of the one-time winner, Salita (Western Winter). This was her first stakes score and she took her earnings to R422 150 with her fourth win from 16 starts – with 8 places on the board. This was a strangely run race and it will be interesting to see how the form holds up in time.

SPORTING POST • FriDAY 9th - SUNDAY 11th march 2018 11

Short - & The Long Of It The National Horseracing Authority has undertaken to remedy any ambiguity which may have arisen, after a filly was reported to have gone down short to post, with no inspection or other action being taken at the start. In our Short Heads insert (SP 2439) we raised concerns from punters after Watsonia had been reported to have gone to post short in the first at Fairview on Friday 23 February. She ran a 6,25 length fourth. Jockey Greg Cheyne told the Sporting Post last week that Watsonia had shown no signs of being short either to post or in running. What concerned us was that Greg

Cheyne had confirmed that no official had made any reference to this comment at the start and that the filly was not trotted to test for soundness. This left the observation hanging in the air and made something of a mockery of the reference in the official Stipes Report NHA Racing Control Executive Arnold Hyde responded to say that ‘went down short’ is an observation that the

Veterinary Surgeons record in their personal Veterinary journals, which is used to update the database and records of horses presented to race. He added that horses travel to other Racing Centres and this history, and other information, is used when they consider if a horse is ‘fit to race’. “With regards the episode in question, Watsonia would have been observed as having been short on proceeding to the start, but would have warmed up sufficiently to race in the opinion of the Veterinary professional on duty. The matter has been attended to in order to prevent any ambiguity in future,” he concluded.

Fortune Flyer - No Action No action will be taken against any individual following the public outcry around the debut win of the Oratorio filly Carlita at Fairview on 3 January.

his was confirmed by NHA Racing Control Executive Arnold Hyde in response to an enquiry from the Sporting Post as to the status of the inquiry launched after Carlita’s debut win. The filly, who is owned by Ashley Fortune and trainer Alan and Glennifer Greeff, was backed from 10’s into short odds at the off on debut, as if the result was known. She duly won by over 8 lengths in the hands of Teague Gould. Trainer Alan Greeff ’s comments on Tellytrack’s raceday preview earlier that day, that the debutante ‘would need the run but could manage the back end of quartets’ raised eyebrows, with some punters crying foul in view of the flood of money for the winner. Jockey Andrew Fortune – not riding due to injury – was on course to lead the winner in with his family. There were suggestions afterwards that he had in fact ridden his wife’s filly in work a few He said after the race that he was pleased with the

win, despite the daughter of Oratorio having looked ‘fat’ in the preliminaries. In the interim Carlita has developed into a leading 2yo prospect. She suffered her only defeat to date when runner up to the Snitzel colt Traces in the Listed Tattersalls Summer Juvenile Stakes on Sun Met day. She made it two wins from just three outings when romping home to a two and three quarter length win in a juvenile plate for fillies over 1000m at Fairview on Friday 23 February under Andrew Fortune’s son, Aldo Domeyer. Bred by the Piemonte Stud, Carlita is out of the Point Given mare Auburn Annio. She was a bargain R35 000 purchase from the 2017 KZN Yearling Sale and is one of three juvenile winners for Oratorio this season. Her part-owner, Ashley Fortune, recently wrote her trainer’s licence exam. So the chances of seeing Carlita competing in Johannesburg must be a possibility.

No Shenanigans, Just A Record!

20 year old South African champion apprentice Lyle Hewitson bettered an apprentice win record set in 2007 by Gavin Lerena, and previously held for almost 40 years by the legend Michael Roberts, when he registered the 284th victory of his fledgeling career, getting the fancied Shenanigans home to win the eighth race at the Vaal on Tuesday.

rained by Sean Tarry, the Daytona Studbred Dynasty gelding stretched well to make it a memorable moment. Outgoing record-holder Gavin Lerena was on hand to present Lyle with a keepsake. With his extensive work riders experience, Lyle was accepted at the SA Jockey Academy after matriculating at Kearsney College. He had his first ride as a fullyfledged apprentice at Scottsville on

6 March 2016. His first winner came on his third book of rides at Fairview on 18 March 2016 aboard Blizzard Belle.The win was for Yvette Bremner, who was the first person he ever rode work for as a kid. His Dad, ex-jockey Carl, is the assistant at the Bremner yard and the win came in his silks. Lyle joins a limited edition of champions, and with 9 months to go of his apprenticeship could well extend the 284 to a number that will stand for a very long time!

Michael Roberts, who rode his first winner 48 years before Lyle at Scottsville, was an eleven -time champion jockey of South Africa and hampion jockey of Britain. Champion apprentice Gavin Lerena went on to become SA Champion jockey. Lyle, who is currently second on the SA national jockey log, and is the youngest rider in the Avontuur sponsored jockey stable, has made the famous Cape wine and breeding establishment proud. “Beyond his extraordinary natural ability in the saddle, Lyle’s most endearing characteristic is his humility. He has made us so proud and we can just imagine how his family must be feeling right now. With his academic ability, he could have pursued any career and it was a very brave choice choosing the tough life of a jockey,” said Avontuur GM Pippa Mickleburgh.

SA’s Super Saturday

The participation of Mike de Kock, Brett Crawford, Neil Bruss and Bernard Fayd’herbe should fire up more than a passing interest for SA racing fans in the Super Saturday meeting at Meydan on 10 March.

he meeting is a traditional curtain-raiser to the Dubai World Cup extravaganza, the world’s richest raceday which boast stakes of a staggering $30 million. The major interest will be on Mike de Kock’s Gauteng Guineas winner Janoobi, a smart winner of the recent Zabeel Mile and Sun Met winner Whisky Baron, who ran fourth in that same race. The Brett Crawford trained galloper should be much fitter, when the pair go head to head in the $300 000 Gr1 Jebel Hatta - over a more suitable trip of 1800m. De Kock also runs Al Sahem in the final event, the $250 000 Gr2 Dubai City Of Gold over 2410m. Zimbabwe born Neil Bruss, based in Saudi Arabia, and Madagascar born Cape Townbased Bernard Fayd’herbe have high hopes for the 7yo Oratorio gelding, God’s Speed, who runs in the $200 000 Gr3 Burj Nuhaar. They also have Fantastic Four in the same race. She will be ridden by James Doyle. Neil Bruss is no stranger to the Dubai World Cup stage, having raided from Saudi in 2009 with Argentinian-bred Muller and the South African-bred former PE

Mike de Kock galloper, Paris Perfect .

Have Your Say! Voting for the People’s Choice Award has commenced its final week and closes Super Saturday. A fan-voted accolade recognising the most compelling 2017 moment or accomplishment in horseracing, the People’s Choice Award will be given at the HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Horseracing Excellence Awards ceremony on the evening of 29 March.

DNA Will Clear Colt

The Kenilworth stipes will carry out a DNA test on All Aboard as part of their investigations into why the unraced twoyear-old’s markings failed to match those in his passport when he was compulsorily scratched at Kenilworth last Tuesday.

ichael Clower reports that Senior Stipe Ernie Rodrigues reiterated on Saturday that it was the correct horse who appeared last week – the scanned chip matched the number in both the passport and the NHA records – and he explained: “We are doing the DNA test so that we can clear the horse to race as soon as possible.” Rodrigues explained that the NHA receives photographs of foals and yearlings from the studs – the Dean Kannemeyer trained All Aboard was sold by Klipdrif as agent for R300 000 at last year’s CTS Premier – and the one in its records shows markings

that match the original passport. However equine passports can be re-issued and that of All Aboard has been issued three times. It is the centre page of the third passport that shows markings completely different from the two previous ones. Rodrigues said: “We still have to ascertain how this latest centre page got into the passport.” He and his colleagues also have to ascertain which passport was presented when the Mambo In Seattle colt was granted his stalls certificate and, if it was the third one, why the discrepancy was not spotted by officials at the time. www.goldcircle.co.za

SHORT HEADS

Lucky 13

The ‘Beast From The East’ continues to wreak weather havoc in Britain, with the sole meeting of the day last Friday at Southwell witnessed by just 13 spectators. It featured just 27 runners in seven races, with three of the races having just three runners and 16 raceday scratchings due to the conditions. Now they know how we feel most of the year round.

Cover Up Snow Fun

Cheltenham clerk of the course Simon Claisse has estimated that there may be more than 200 tons of snow to remove manually from the course, in advance of the popular Festival which runs next week from Tuesday 13 March to Friday 16 March. Tuesday is Champions Day, Wednesday is Ladies Day, Thursday is St Patrick’s Day and the meeting ends with Gold Cup Day.

Salem Bin Ghadayer, who trains for Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, the son of Dubai’s ruler Sheikh Mohammed Al Maktoum, has been found guilty of administering ketamine to a horse in his care. His one-year ban has been suspended pending an appeal. Ketamine is a banned substance and powerful anaesthetic which is used to prevent humans and animals from feeling pain. Ghadayer saddled Mailshot to win a 1600m turf handicap at Meydan on Saturday.

Mauritzfontein sire Ideal World (Kingmambo) has a 20 strong draft on the 2018 National Yearling Sale next month and buyers would have sat up again after his hat-trick of winners at Greyville on Sunday. The sire of Met winner Smart Call and Champion stayer Hermoso Mundo’s three winners were Gareth van Zyl-trained Ideal Winter, the Paul Laﬀerty trained Dark Moon Rising and Brett Crawford’s Hero Quest, who went all the way to win over 2200m.

The latest NHA calendar (117/32) continues to show the changes of ownership of various Mayfair Speculators horses. Yet the racing regulator has continued to refuse to provide us with a list of the Mayfair exports to Mauritius. They cite the ABSA liquidation application next month as their reason for withholding this information. It makes absolutely no sense and one can only make conspiratorial deductions from their action.

SALES REMINDER Breeders are reminded that the entry forms for the Bloodstock South Africa Cape Mare, Weanling & Fillies For Stud Sale, to be held at Mistico on 24 May, are available on www.bsa.co.za. Entries close 12 March. Entry forms for the BSA KZN Yearling Sale to be held on 5 and 6 July at Sibaya are also available. Entries close 23 March.

Mike de Kock watched Saturday’s Gr2 Gauteng Fillies Guineas win by Takingthepeace from an hotel room in Australia, where he is attending the Inglis Sale. Calling it one of the most emotional races he had experienced, he said the ‘laaitjies’ (youngsters) ‘bring it out in one’. ”Mat and young Mike Shea have been mates since they were kids, Mat found the horse and now they own her together. It really touched me, and I’m very proud.”

After thirty one weeks of the 201718 racing season, Arrowﬁeld Stud's incumbent Champion Australian Sire Snitzel has surged to another all-time record for Australian progeny earnings of over A$18 million. Occupying second position is Coolmore's ill-fated High Chaparral, who made a major move up the leader board after the wins of Rekindling in the Melbourne Cup and Ace High in the Victoria Derby in the spring, with A$10 million, while Yarraman Park's high-proﬁle sire I Am Invincible rounds out the top three. Lonhro moved back into the top 10 after the weekend's racing.

Up Your Alley

Buyers will have an opportunity at both yearling sales next month to bid on the progeny of Wilgerbosdrift’s stallion Flower Alley (Distorted Humor), who enjoyed a pair of US winners this past weekend and also had some notable success as a broodmare sire. Liza Jane broke her maiden at Turfway Park, while stakes placed Ms Wakaya picked up her third career victory at Santa Anita. Flower Alley son Nessy, a full brother to Gr1 Pattison Canadian International winner Bullards Alley, ran third in the Gr2 Mac Diarmida Stakes at Gulfstream Park . Flower Alley, whose Gr3 Tempted Stakes winning granddaughter Daisy (by Blame) has been nominated for the 2018 Kentucky Oaks, is also broodmare sire of Japanese champion Lucky Lilac, who won the Gr2 Tulip Sho at Hanshin racecourse on Saturday. She is likely to be favourite for the classic Gr1 Oka Sho (Japanese 1000 Guineas) later in the season.

Lucian Africa

On 24 February, underrated and under utilised Cape jockey Lucian Africa reminded us that on the right horse, on the right day, and with the right people, there is still plenty of fun to be had in racing.

n a composed and polished performance, Lucian kept the Harold Crawford-trained Perovskia, for longstanding client, Mike Mort, at his task long enough to hold off Mambo Mine for the cheque, the glory and the bragging rights to the 2018 Listed Jet Master Stakes. Lucian also wrote a bit of history for the yard, as Harold’s last Listed winner dates back to War Raider in the 1980’s!

Making Your Own Luck “I know Perovskia well. Between myself and Grant Behr, we’re probably on him the most often. He’s so well looked after – all Mr Crawford’s horses are. He’s a complete gentleman and so easy to work with, he never complains!” he says warmly. “He’d come in with a light weight of 51kgs,” says Lucian, when asked how he secured the engagement. “A few weeks earlier, I overheard Mr Crawford’s daughter Michelle saying to a client ‘If you don’t ask, you’ll never know”. So when Perovskia was entered, I messaged Michelle saying I’d like to put my name in the hat – if you don’t ask, you’ll never know! Two days before scratchings, I’d ridden a horse for Mike Mort called Nicky Noo. She doesn’t always jump well, but I got her out smartly and we finished 4th and I think that helped,” he grins.

Build Up Lucian is a natural lightweight and walks around at 51kgs ‘after breakfast, lunch and supper!’ “On the day of races, I had a Spur breakfast and arrived at track at 50.2kgs. All the bottom weights were coming in with plus a half or more and Mr Crawford and I looked at each other and said now we definitely have a chance!” “The horse always works well, so I was feeling quite confident, but when we cantered down for the race, he started pigrooting with me and at that point, I realised he was VERY well,” he smiles. “I knew Milton would lead, so the most important thing was to bounce him out and make sure he landed running. He dived out of the gates, but we got out well and slotted in at the front. I saw Milton, but he had to come wide around horses. My horse was settled and running well within himself and I wasn’t going to burn him out trying to go with Milton, so I just let him do it on his own. At the 300m, I saw Milton was gone and we moved past him without my even asking. Grant (Behr) was right there on Mambo Mime, so I gave Perovskia a few smacks. Grant mentioned that Perovskia’s a real fighter and doesn’t like anyone to get past him and about 100m

out, I thought Mambo Mime might get there, but Perovskia wouldn’t let him. He wasn’t labouring - he was actually travelling well - but he was just doing enough to keep the other horse behind him. It was amazing I’ve never felt that before.” “I told Michelle after the race, I was close to crying as we crossed the line. It wasn’t just the win, you have no idea how hard they work. Looking after the horses every day, taking them to the beach, everything they put in. Mr Crawford has a small yard, but his owners are very involved and there’s a handful that are there every Saturday. The last time I saw that was at Ashburton, which used to be packed with owners every Saturday morning. The owners all want to talk to us and know about their horses – it’s amazing. To see all that rewarded - it was probably the best 98.27 seconds of my life.”

About Lucian Lucian came into racing by a somewhat unorthodox route. His father, who likes to play the quartet, was the only link to racing. “I went to ‘The’ Settlers High School and finished matric. My dad runs a computer cabling company and after school, he asked me what I wanted to study. I said I really don’t know, so he said ‘until you decide, why don’t you come and work for me?’ One day, out of the blue, he asked why don’t I go for riding lessons.

I said why? I’ve never been near a horse? But we booked a lesson at Camelot in Durbanville. I was 19 years old. Long story short, your first lesson isn’t all that interesting, but the second it was finished I said ‘when do I go back?’ and then it was just a question of what do I do next?” Lucian spent 7 months working as a groom for Joey Ramsden while applying for an Academy placement. “Booysen and Andile, who are both still there, showed me how to ride in the ring. They still remind me to this day that they taught me to ride!” Lucian was accepted to the Academy in 2005 and joined the intake including Derreck David and Karis Teetan. ”Patrick Salvage was headmaster at the time. When I went to sign my papers, I saw it said 5 years. I looked at that and thought ‘no!’ I asked Mr Salvage whether I could qualify sooner if I rode my 50 winners in three years and he said yes, so we adjusted the paperwork and I signed up,” he explains cheerfully. “You only get to race ride from the end of your first year, so I was under a bit of pressure, but I did it.”

Speedy apprentice Lucian was elected Head Boy in his second year and half way through that year, started working for Charles Laird. That afforded him the opportunity to ride a lot of good horses, including the likes of Lion Tamer and Rebel King, with a morning gallop on Lion Tamer, with strict instructions to sit behind Anton M a r c u s going half pace,

standing out particularly vividly! Handicap and the Chapter “I rode a lot for Brett Warren and Challenge in Durban and have a Roy Magner. I learnt so much in few other trophies – those aren’t for Joburg, it’s frightening.” He also nothing. Sure, I was given chances, got support from Geoff Woodruff, but at some point you’ve also got who thought enough of him to give to have ability to know where you him the ride on Festive Occasion in need to be in a race – you don’t the 2007 Summer Cup. need to be Anton Marcus.

Rough Ride For Our Jockeys

Jockeys’ presence in gambling establishments appears to have become something of a soft target for our racing regulator in recent weeks.

s it not almost bizarre to expect a rider not to do some marketing after his shower and a long day at the office, by mingling with owners and trainers in private suites at the racetrack, for example? Prioritising the key issues that impact on the public image and general confidence in the Sport Of Kings does not feature high on the agenda of our racing regulator. Vague rules that cannot be policed properly and are applied on a hitand-miss basis also compound the bungling, and hardly aid the cause of projecting horseracing as a clean, well-managed sport that is actually worth getting involved in. Jockeys and registered betting premises is the latest lame hobbyhorse to be saddled up by the National Horseracing Authority.

Easy Riders

Love them or hate them, let’s accept that jockeys are the human hero face of the sport. The average punter in the local tote would rather talk to the pilot, than the man who plots the trips and changes the jet’s oil back at the hangar. By their nature, jockeys – some more than others – have an allure and mystique for the man in the street. Some imagine that jockeys control the game – their lives to be fast and glamorous. Cash and public adoration comes easy. What a life – but what a lie! The reality is that at the end of the urban mythical rainbow, most

are family men, who eke out a living – with the same frustrations and problems as the rest of us mortals. They hardly control the game – in fact it’s the other way round. Jockeys are self-employed professionals who sell their skills on and off the track. Some are fortunate to be sponsored. Ultimately, they have a very vested interest in racing prospering.

Let’s rewind now to July 2016

Against a background of spirited resistance from some industry insiders, the NHA introduced rule 21.3. It says: Without the written permission of the Stipendiary Board, no jockey shall enter or visit any registered betting premises where members of the public are able to place any bets or wagers of any kind whatsoever. The rule hardly takes cognisance of the fact that the nature of modern betting premises has changed dramatically this century.

Keys To History Varsfontein Stud’s Master Of My Fate was represented by a third first crop winner with an historic angle last Wednesday when his daughter Master Keys made a winning debut at Scottsville.

rained by Nathan Kotzen, the Nothemba Mlonzi bred filly made a massive first impression, as she stormed home under Champion Apprentice Lyle Hewitson – now just two winners short of his apprentice winner history mark – to post a 1.75 length debut win in a juvenile plate over 1200m. The filly is a first winner for businesswoman Nothemba Mlonzi, who consigned Master Keys under Mwetwood Stud at the 2017 National Yearling Sale, where she was a R100 000 buy by Nathan Kotzen. Master Keys made history as the first yearling to be bred and sold by a black female. Out of the Tiger Ridge mare On A Wing, Master Keys is from the immediate damline of the brilliant 5-time Gr1 winning Hong Kong star, Able Friend. Now South Africa’s Leading First Crop Sire by winners,

Master Of My Fate’s previous winners were debut winner Twist Of Fate and Lucky Dancer. A son of champions Jet Master and Promisefrommyheart, Master Of My Fate was a top class racehorse whose six wins, from eight starts, included the G2 Premier Trophy and G2 Peninsula Handicap. His numerous high class relatives include unbeaten Gr3 Flamboyant Stakes winner Hashtagyolo and Gr2 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf winning sire Pluck. The latter made headlines on Sunday when his daughter Life On The Wire won the Gr3 Vamos Stakes at Launceston. Life On The Wire was winning her fifth race in a row. Pluck has now been represented by graded stakes winners Aspect, Life On The Wire and Mongolian Wolf. Master Of My Fate has 25 yearlings on the 2018 Emperors Palace National Yearling Sale in April.

Stipe’s Permission to pick up the milk and bread on the way home!

Then the last straw…

Avontuur-sponsored MJ Byleveld received an invite from Clyde Basel, the Phumelela Racing Executive, inviting him to attend a Betting World Met Day panel discussion in January. The ever enthusiastic MJ willingly agreed – he loves the game and wants to add value where he can. In their infinite wisdom, the NHA subsequently charged MJ with a contravention of Rule 21.3 – effectively for giving up his free time at no remuneration to promote the Sun Met and betting turnover. The word is that local Stipendiary Board Chairman Ernie Rodrigues did his damndest to let sanity prevail. After all, the racing operator had invited the jockey, who had fairly assumed that he was within rules. Racing doesn’t need more poor publicity – even from an innocent MJ this time… To compound matters, the NHA then humiliated and tarnished the jockey’s good name with their typically cryptic notice – not much better than their disingenuous press releases – in their racing calendar, confirming simply that he was frequenting a betting premise without permission. And by deduction- naturally up to all kinds of tricks. As a result of the NHA’s narrowminded approach, we have learnt that the powerful Coastal Jockey’s Association, on behalf of their members, have instructed their lawyers to inform the NHA that no jockey will be party to any panel discussions on any racecourse or betting premise. That is until such time as Racing Executive

Mauritius Delayed The start of the 2018 Mauritius racing season has been postponed by a week from 24 March to Saturday 31 March. The MTC announced on Tuesday that the Board of Directors, in consultation with the trainers, made the decision to postpone the first meeting. The move is as a result of the bad weather, including very heavy rains, that have persisted over large parts of the island. The preparation of horses has thus fallen behind in Floréal or the Champ de Mars. The presence of cloud bands associated with the Dumazile cyclone have resulted in very heavy and flooded tracks, with no short term respite in sight. A decision will be made later in respect of a rescheduling of the abandoned first meeting.

Arnold Hyde issues an apology for embarrassing Byleveld and also gives an undertaking in regard to jockeys attending similar events in future. Two other jockeys fell foul of the same rule in the Met build-up Winning Form-sponsored Muzi Yeni and Robert Khathi attended a Hollywood promotion and panel discussion and were sanctioned. Yeni told the Sporting Post that being sponsored was a win-win for the jockey and the sponsor, and racing ultimately benefitted. What he and his colleague were doing were getting punters interested and involved, and motivated to bet – to hype interest in the Met. “We don’t hang around Totes. That naturally creates a poor image. We attend functions by invitation. It’s

good for the game. When a jockey causes interference or doesn’t give his horse every chance, then nail him. That kind of thing is bad for racing.” Muzi added that he felt that the NHA could be more constructive in their approach to punitive measures. “In the case of interference, for example, give us an option of a fine linked to income, a suspension or a hearing. We can then make a business decision and choose to pay away say 25% of monthly income in lieu of a week off. This would be more constructive and could raise money for the coffers of the Horse Care Units.” That’s a debate for another day! - This editorial was first published in SP Digest 2439

Winx Breaks Aussie Gr1 Record

Winx has won a record 23rd straight race to surpass Black Caviar’s record for the most Australian Gr1 wins.

n her comeback to the track Winx was too strong for the field in the $600,000 TAB Gr1 Chipping Norton Stakes at Sydney’s Royal Randwick on Saturday. Jockey Hugh Bowman rode the mighty mare towards another victory that cements her position in the pantheon of racing’s greatest ever performers. It was the supermare’s 16th Gr1 win, breaking Black Caviar’s record of 15. A third Chipping Norton win also took the six-yearold’s career prize money earnings

to the $16 million mark. “We’ve never talked about a horse the way we talk about her,” Channel 7’s Bruce McAvaney said. Trainer Chris Waller said: “It’s a great story for Australian sport”. Jockey Hugh Bowman piloted Winx into a difficult position sitting five wide around the turn before exploding down the straight from the 300m mark to hit the front and streak away from the field. She left the field in her wake, winning by more than seven lengths ahead of Prized Icon and Classic Uniform. - www.news.com.au

Greyville 25 February They raced on the poly track on Sunday where four of the afternoon’s eight races were staged over 1200m. The MR72 Handicap was marginally the fastest of these and here victory went to the Dean Kannemeyer trained GADGET MAN. Backed into favouritism at the track, the son of Silvano was soon up handy. He ran on strongly in the short home straight and got the better of a three way tussle by a neck. The MR77 Handicap was the fastest of the three 1600m events and here the well weighted 3yo RYKER registered his third career victory. Adopting a change of tactics here, Garth Puller’s charge was taken straight to the front by Anton Marcus and led throughout. He was always in command and won without any anxious moments by two and a half. The one remaining race was a maiden plate for the girls over 2000m and in what proved to be a real thriller the favourite LIVE IN LOVE got off the mark. Always handy, Live In Love was challenged strongly by the well exposed PALACE MYSTERY (21st career start) over the final 150m and only got the verdict by the narrowest of margins. TITBITS

Kenilworth 27 February The column was in great form in Cape Town last Tuesday, producing five top rated winners from just seven races. 1200m took the lion’s share of the races and quickest home amongst these was HITHIMAGAINCHUCK when winning the MR80 Handicap. Confidently ridden by Grant Van Niekerk, the 3yo son of Var raced in the rear during the early part of the race. He ran on best of all at the business end of the race and got up in the very last stride to deny the easy to back DAYONAUT. The faster of the two 1000m races was the MR80 Handicap and here we saw a smart performance from Brett Crawford’s SPENDING SPREE. Returning from a 30 week break here, the Jay Peg filly raced at the back for most of the journey. Once given rein though she quickened best of all, and went on to win going away after striking the front 200m from home. They also ran two races over 1600m and marginally the faster of these was the MR67 Handicap won by RUBYANA. All the rage on course, the 100/30 favourite raced close up in sixth early on. She was ridden to lead as they approached the 200m marker and went on to score in good style going away. TITBITS

Ridden to lead 300m out, VICTORY TRIP won the MR60 Handicap over 1200m going away by three and three quarters.

The newcomers FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT and SEATTLE KID both ran on well from off the pace when 2nd & 3rd respectively in the opening maiden juvenile plate over 1200m. Freely available at 113/20 on the off, the Candice Bass-Robinson newcomer NOUS VOILA only had to be pushed out when winning the maiden juvenile plate over 1000m.

Smart Double Scottsville 28 February

The non-black-type Fever Tree Handicap topped the bill in Pietermaritzburg on Wednesday, and in what proved to be by far the fastest of the five 1400m races we saw a smart performance from the 3yo SNIPER SHOT. Nicely positioned in fourth for most of the journey, the 4/1 joint second favourite took up the running 180m out, and won going away from the favourite BLACK CAT BACK. The only other distance on the card to stage more than one race was 1000m where the faster of the two was the MR72 Handicap won by Sniper Shot’s stable companion MAJESTIC GLORY. Sent off a strong favourite at 2/1, the lightly raced son of Equiano was a little slow into stride and raced seventh of the ten early on. She quickened well from halfway and under a well-judged ride from Anthony Delpech she got the better of the second favourite ISHNANA by a neck. In terms of distance the easiest

Thursday’s action took place on the outside track where four of the afternoon’s nine races were staged over 1400m. The MR62 Handicap was very marginally the fastest of these and here we saw a comfortable victory for the easy to back QUEBEC QUEEN. Freely available at 18/1 on the off, Paul Peter’s charge raced in midfield during the early part of the race. She ran on best of all at the business end of the race and won well by a length and a half from FLOWING GOWN. Three of the five remaining races took place over1200m where by far the quickest home was ELENI in the MR66 Handicap. Positioned in midfield for most of the journey,

Eleni ran on well over the final 400m and got the better of WHITE WINTER and MOSS GAS in a thrilling three way finish. In terms of distance the easiest victory on the card was recorded by BELIEVE ME when opening her account in the maiden plate over 1400m. She quickened well from halfway and despite not finding the clearest of passages she went on to score with authority after striking the front 200m from home. TITBITS The Lateral filly TEENAGE DREAM was winning for the fifth time in her last seven outings when landing the MR73 Handicap over 1600m.

New Kid In Town Greyville 2 March The course has been running slow since the action returned to the poly track and with a 20km/h head wind to boot on Friday evening the times were once again well below standard. Four of the nine races were run over 1000m and in the fastest of these it was nice to see the veteran EDDIE SWEAT find the winner’s enclosure. Easy to back at 5/1 on the off, Frank Robinson’s charge raced sixth of the seven early on. He ran on best of all over the final 400m and got the verdict by a neck over the favourite THE KING OF RANDOM. Marginally the faster of the two 1200m races on my clock was the MR80 Handicap won by the fancied HARD TO PLAY. After racing tightly bunched early on, the field resembled a cavalry charge going through the 300m. Hard To Play came from the back and won well by a length and a quarter after striking the front 200m from home. They also ran two races over 1400m and stopping the clock in the faster time here was HARLAN COUNTY in the MR79 Handicap. Racing on the surface for the first time, this lightly raced son of Pathfork was always handy. He was ridden to lead shortly after passing the 200m marker and won going away by a length and a quarter. TITBITS After being hampered 600m out, ROY’S NOVICE was finishing best of all when a 0,85 length third in the maiden plate for the girls over 1400m.

victory on the card was registered by ETERNAL WORDS when getting off the mark in the maiden plate over 1400m. Well-supported into 13/10 at the track, the daughter of Byword was soon positioned close to the speed. She took up the running shortly after passing the 300m pole and drew clear easily in the closing stages of the race to score by four and a half.

St Patrick’s Day At The Races

The Irish religious feast day of St Patrick’s Day, held to commemorate the death of Ireland’s Patron saint, has been observed in Ireland since the 9th or 10th century.

egend, well, Wikipedia, has it that St Patrick (allegedly named Maewyn Succat) was born in Roman England sometime in the fifth century. Kidnapped and taken to Ireland as a slave at the age of 16, he either escaped or was released and returned to England where he became a priest, changing his name to Patricius, a derivative of the Latin term for ‘father figure’. He then returned to Ireland to minister to the pagan populace. It seems that St Patrick had a lot of success in converting the Druid culture to Christianity. His success, ascribed to being lucky, is one theory behind the green, Shamrock theme we are used to seeing today. Another popular legend is that St Patrick used the three leaves of the native Irish clover as a way to explain the Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Saint Patrick's Day was made an official Christian feast day in the early 17th century, held on 17 March to commemorate St Patrick’s death on that day in 461. Although the date meant it fell during the traditional period of Lent, the restrictions on eating and drinking alcohol were lifted for the day, fostering the tradition of celebration. The tradition of using the day as a celebration of Irish culture seems to have originated in America in 1762, when Irish soldiers serving in the English army marched through New York City. The day is now observed annually across the globe in many different guises with each adding their own particular slant on it.

Why Beer? Thanks to a Budweiser marketing campaign in the 1980’s, downing beer has become a common way to celebrate the day, with some going as far as dying the beer green. In Chicago, it has become an annual tradition to dye the Chicago River green by releasing green vegetable dye into the water. Each to their own! So in addition to being a celebration of the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, St Patrick’s day is now seen as a more broad celebration of Irish culture, as well as just a good excuse to dress up in green, drink beer and generally have a good time. Suffice to say, in true Irish spirit, the day, as well as the reasons for celebrating it, are open to interpretation, but what is certain is that it has become an excuse for a celebration – and who doesn’t need a little more of that?

The Rub Of The Green With its connotations of luck and its association with the Irish and, in turn, their ancient association with the horse, St Patrick’s Day is the perfect fit for a day of fun at the races, so Luella Robinson and the Kenilworth Racing Team have joined forces to put together the first St Patrick’s Day Student race day at Durbanville on Saturday, 17 March 2018. Ta-daaaaaa ! Mike and Luella Robinson of the Philippi-based Mike Robinson Racing team, are based in Paarl, making Durbanville’s country track their ‘local’ racing venue. With the recent refurb and the success of the New Year’s Day and Twilight Meetings, a chance discussion on how to optimise the venue as well as how to market the sport to a younger audience threw up the idea of a student day. “As Stellenbosch is our closest University and they have a student body of 31,000, I approached them and was put in contact with the Chairperson of a number of their student

societies,” says Luella. “They are very enthusiastic about the idea. It’s the University’s centenary year, which makes it even more fun and it turns out they even have a gentleman’s club who have a day at the races as one of their recommended activities!” “I checked the calendar to see what big days, events or festivals might be happening around that time and came up with St Patrick’s Day. It happens to be a good time for the students as it is a quiet period just before they start exams, so it’s perfect.”

Putting It Together The whole team have pitched in with ideas and contacts to make the day as easy and user-friendly as possible. In the interests of responsible driving, to help get the students from A to B (and back again), HG Travel will be laying on shuttle busses from Stellenbosch at a cost of R20 for the round trip, with the first 2,000 passengers receiving a complimentary R10 betting voucher, courtesy of Betting World. The first bus will be leaving Stellenbosch at 10:30am and they will depart at regular intervals after that. In addition to the action on

Support “We are really hoping for a fantastic day out,” continues Luella. “The racecourse is a feature on the Durbanville landscape and it would be great to see the local community use and support it more often, so I thought ‘let’s do something’. It’s our local track and we love it. It’s fun, it’s friendly, it’s easily accessible and what better way to introduce people to racing right on their own doorstep? There are plenty of jockeys who live in Durbanville and we’ve spent all this money on doing up the track, so now we must use it! We might not have the budget for a huge race day like the Met or Queen’s Plate, but you’ve got to start somewhere and everyone’s pulled together to make something really special. It’s an opportunity to do something different and try and get some new faces on course and who knows, with a bit of luck, it would be great to see this build into an annual event. Anyone who feels wearing green at the racecourse is unlucky might want to give the meeting a miss, but if you aren’t superstitious, why not come down and support our local racing? Gates open at 11am and entry is free!

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 9th - SUNDAY 11th MARCH 2018

Monks Hood’s devastating win in the Gr2 Gauteng Guineas on Saturday was a timely reminder of the strength of the Green Desert male line.

ne of six July Cup winners by Danzig, Green Desert, the sire of at least four official sprint champions, established a thriving male line through his sons, Invincible Spirit, Cape Cross and Oasis Dream. Green Desert left behind 2 July Cup winners, with another son, Tamarisk, finishing second in 1998 –to Danzig’s son, Elnadim! Remarkably, Invincible Spirit, Cape Cross and Oasis Dream have each sired over 100 stakes winners, and all have left their mark through sons and daughters at stud. The success of the Green Desert male line can be seen in the fact that inbreeding to the deceased bay has already resulted in a string of group winners, highlighted by Barraquero (Richmond Stakes), Havana Grey (Molecomb Stakes) and dual Meydan Sprint winner Ertijaal (Oasis Dream). Querari’s debut winner The Highway Man (whose damsire, Kahal, is out of a Green Desert mare) is another inbred to the sire. Invincible Spirit, whose sire sons include the very successful I Am Invincible and Lawman, has a host of Gr1 winning sons at stud yet to be represented by runners, with this number including Horse Of The Year, Kingman - a ¾ brother to Oasis Dream - and fellow Gr1 winners, Charm Spirit, Shalaa, and Territories, and it is hard not to see his legacy and influence extending considerably in future.

Star Cross

Cape Cross, sire of a top class sire son in the form of Sea The Stars, also has a number of young stallion sires yet to be represented on the racecourse, headed by Derby/Arc winner, Golden Horn, and Irish 2000 Guineas winner, Awtaad. Cape Cross is also broodmare sire of the regally bred dual Derby winner, Australia (Galileo), whose first crop race in 2018. Green Desert was also sire of multiple times New Zealand champion sire, Volksraad, an outstanding broodmare sire, while his July Cup winning son, Owington, showed signs of becoming a top class stallion, but died after leaving behind just a single crop. Green Desert’s son, Oasis Dream, a Gr1 winner at two, and champion sprinter at three, has been one of the main flag-bearers for Green Desert, both as a racehorse and as a stallion. One of his sire’s very best runners, Oasis Dream won the Middle Park Stakes at two, and both the Gr1 July Cup and Gr1 Nunthorpe Stakes at three. To date, Oasis Dream has had 110 black type winners, with a further 69 stakes placed runners. While he has sired runners capable of staying further than a mile, for example the Breeders’ Cup winner, Midday, Oasis Dream’s influence, as could be expected, looks to be as a stallion whose best runners by and large tend to be high-class sprinters or sprinter-milers.

BSA’s New Appointment In line with their focus on maintaining open lines of communication and serving the needs of thoroughbred breeders, Bloodstock South Africa have announced the appointment of Alistair Gordon as their Vendor Liaison Officer. AN accomplished and respected horseman, and a trainer of top horses over 45 years, Alistair Gordon will be visiting vendors throughout the year with the intention of building bridges and enhancing the relationship between Bloodstock South Africa and breeders. In welcoming Alistair to South Africa’s oldest sales company, BSA CEO Michael Holmes said that the intention was always to continue innovating in finding best local solutions for both buyers and vendors. “It is no secret that we are trading in tough times. Adding value for buyers means ensuring world-class and professional sales facilities and a quality product. Although overlapping in

some respects, our breeders also face their own challenges. They live, eat and sleep the process for 365 days a year. We need to ensure that we are providing them with the tools to optimise their returns. That is in respect of a spectrum of needs from sales programming, right through to infrastructural support.” Holmes went on to add that Alistair Gordon’s appointment was key to strengthening ties between BSA and breeders. “Alistair is an extremely popular and well liked member of the racing and breeding community. He knows and understands the game and speaks the language of the industry. He is looking forward to the challenge,” he added.

Broodmare Sire

Oasis Dream is also now making his mark as a broodmare sire and he is damsire of 2017 Gr1 Phoenix Stakes winner, Sioux Nation (Scat Daddy). Daughters of Oasis Dream produced six group winners last year, a tally which also included Gr3 Musidora Stakes winner, Shutter Speed (Dansili). Outside of Querari, Oasis Dream’s best sire son, to date, has been Gr2 Mill Reef Stakes winner, Showcasing, whose best runner to date is the now retired dual Gr1 winning sprinting filly, Quiet Reflection. The former sprint star is yet to be represented by a truly outstanding sire son in the Northern Hemisphere. This could well change, with Oasis Dream’s four time Gr1 winning son, and champion sprinter, Muhaarar, being exceptionally well received, with Oasis Dream’s Gr1 Middle Park Stakes winning son, Charming Thought, another young sire placed to make a splash at stud.

Latest Star

Monks Hood, latest star to represent this formidable male line, is inbred to Danzig. Not only is the latter sire of Green Desert, but Danzig is also broodmare sire of Monks Hood’s own damsire, Camden Park. Inbreeding to Danzig, not surprisingly given the prolific nature of his sons, grandsons, and great grandsons, has proved hugely successful, with Gr1 winners the world over carrying this cross. Among the notable stars inbred to the unbeaten son of Northern

Green Desert Dancer are Kentucky Derby winning champion, I’ll Have Another (Flower Alley), four time Gr1 winner, All Too Hard (Casino Prince), St James’s Palace Stakes winner and new Darley sire, Barney Roy (Excelebration), dual Gr1 winner and sire Bushranger (Danetime), the outstanding Champion Stakes winner, Cracksman (Frankel) and Blue Diamond Stakes winning filly, Catchy (Fastnet Rock). With a number of top sires, including Frankel, Siyouni and Teofilo, produced by Danehill mares, this number should continue to grow substantially in years to come. A case in point is the 2017 Gr1 Fillies Mile winner, Laurens, by Siyouni out of a mare by Cape Cross.

New Format For April Sale Cape Thoroughbred Sales recently released the online catalogue for the 2018 April Yearling Sale to be held at Durbanville racecourse. THIS innovative new sale, a combination of the previously-held CTS March and Emperors Palace Select sales, takes place over 2 days on Thursday 12 and Friday 13 April and begins with a Select evening session on day one. Compared to previous March sales, the upgraded sale sees a 33% increase in the number of lots on offer, growing from 257 in 2017 to 343 this year. “This is a really exciting new format and catalogue.” said CTS CEO Wéhann Smith. “There is strong sire pulling power, quality individuals at a range of price levels, and some impressive new stallions being represented, all of which will make this sale appeal to all types of buyers.” “In a relatively short period, yearlings to have passed through this ring have

won many marquee races, including 2016 graduate Dutch Philip who was victorious in the lucrative CTS 1200 this past January, demonstrating just how much value can be bought here, having already amassed over R3 million in stakes.” Other March Sale graduates include inaugural CTS Million Dollar victor Illuminator, a R180,000 purchase in 2014 who amassed over R8 million in stakes; 2017 Selangor hero Rocket Countdown, and Safe Harbour who has already earned R2,7 million in prize money. Highclass miler Copper Force, bought for just R70,000, ran second in this year’s Grade 1 Queen’s Plate. And shrewd buyers will be hoping to snap up the equivalent of durable performer Friendly Tibbs - a steal at

Danzig

Green Desert and his sire sons and grandsons have also enjoyed notable success through Danzig inbreeding. This pattern has resulted in the likes of Gr1 winners, Able One (Cape Cross), Brazen Beau (I Am Invincible) and the remarkably durable gelding, Gordon Lord Byron (by Green Desert’s son Byron). Monks Hood is not the only high class performer sired by Querari to be inbred to Danzig. Others include Listed Darley Arabian winner, Maximizer, promising but ill-fated runner, Dynamic Speed, and Bauhinia Handicap runner up, Spring Wonder.

R20,000 who's closing in on R700,000 in earnings as a seven year-old. “The support we have received from the breeders for this year has been fantastic. We look very carefully at the calendar and consult the industry to find the right window, and I am very satisfied that this year - with the later date and Select session - will show bigger, stronger bloodstock at all ends of the market” says Smith. “We have progeny from Dynasty, Silvano, Trippi, alongside top international sires Rock Of Gibraltar, Camelot and Exchange Rate, and some of the last available Captain Al’s – making this sale a wonderful opportunity to buy into some proven bloodlines, or pin hook ahead of our Ready-to-Run Sale to be held later this year.” Recent international success of CTS graduates, Janoobi (Zabeel Mile in Dubai) and Singapore Sling (Hong Kong’s Classic Cup) provides further incentive to attend.
