Gr1 winner Arabian Beat could be the lurker

Gr2 SENOR SANTA STAKES at Turffontein this Saturday

Champagne Days Gary Alexander’s Kahal flyer Champagne Haze is a temperamental fellow on the best of days.

I

But the son of Kahal found his sweetest form to win the Tommy Hotspur Handicap at his last start and has a great opportunity of pulling off the Senor Santa Stakes double under top weight at Turffontein on Saturday.

n a chat with the Sporting Post, Dean Alexander explained that Champagne Haze was only really having a gallop when he burst through late to win the Tommy Hotspur.

“Ideally the 1000m is on the sharp side for him, but he showed his well-being with that run and we couldn’t have hoped for a better prep going into this race.

Half of the problem with big races is enjoying a problem free passage in the build-up. And thankfully that has been the case with Champagne Haze,’ he added.

On the question as to why Lyle Hewitson, who had ridden such a cracker to win on him last time, was not aboard this time, Dean was philosophical.

“Look, Lyle knows him well. We would have loved to have him ride him again here. But Lyle enjoys a good relationship with the Sean Tarry yard and he must go where he feels he should be. Chase Maujean has been doing plenty of work at home. He is a decent rider and we

will just be hoping the dice rolls our way come Saturday.”

Champagne Haze tops the weights in this merit-rated benchmarked contest, which is always an important prep for the Gr1 Computaform Sprint.

A diverse field of nineteen speedsters are set to face the starter at the 1160m marker.

The treat for the Alexander team is that Champagne Haze loves this time of the year – and many in this field are off form or off the boil.

These include the likes of Graduation Day and Talktothestars – both decent on their day but lacking a tune at the moment.

Lyle Hewitson rides Byerley Turk winner Africa Rising, one of a Tarry quartet. The 4yo lacked a finish in the Hawaii Stakes when 6 lengths off Will Pays. He won his penultimate start and frankly is in and out at best.

Stablemate Matador Man finished marginally in front of him in the Hawaii Stakes and this slow starter could find this on the sharp side. He

should be staying on.

Green Pepper is one of a trio of fillies in the race. A lightly raced 4yo, she is very quick and Gavin Lerena adds the value.

Another member of the fairer sex, Wrecking Ball was runner-up in the race last year, and is 5kgs better off with Champagne Haze for a five length beating at her last start.

The 2yo Gr1 winner Arabian Beat has tumbled down the ratings but found form with a smart win in a low-key handicap at the Vaal last time. With just 52kgs to carry, this top-class gelding could be the lurker in the pack if he finds his best toe.

Another handily weighted galloper is Cape challenger Professor Brian, from the Joey Ramsden stable.

Richard Fourie will take the ride on the 5yo Australian-bred son of Encosta De Lago. He has won six of his 19 starts and with just 52kg on his back warrants respect.

Pure Blonde has good consistent recent form and meets Champagne Haze on 2,5kgs better terms for a 2 length beating in the Tommy Hotspur. The son of Kahal is always thereabouts.

Candice Dawson saddles former Dennis Drier speedster Rocky Valley, who was purchased off the Mayfair Speculators draft at the Shongweni Sale in February. He looks likely to need the run.

Geoff Woodruff’s Zouaves is an improving 4yo son of Sail From

Seattle and has won 3 of his last 4 starts.

Wonderwall and Sir David Baird are a duo of decent 3yo’’s but may find this on the sharp side.

Golden Man has his 61st start on Saturday and looks a touch outclassed.

If things go Champagne Haze’s way, he could register the double. It should be a cavalry charge behind that with chances to a host of runners. A cracking race to watch!

His conquests included Champions Goldmark, Divine Act, Miss Averof, Harry’s Echo and Simonside.

As memorable a moment as any came in defeat in the Winning Form Match Race Challenge, in which, ironically, his lack of stamina cost him the race in the dying strides by Northern Guest’s most celebrated daughter, Northern Princess.

Gr2 COLORADO KING STAKES at Turffontein this Saturday

T

Trainer Johan Janse van Vuuren goes for his third successive victory in Saturday’s R400 000 Gr2 Colorado King Stakes. He saddles the super consistent Girl On The Run, who ran a fair fifth in the 2017 Sansui Summer Cup in mixed company.

hat was a handicap and this may be a bit tougher at weight-forage plus penalties. But Girl On The Run showed she can mix it with the males when winning the Gr3 Victory Moon Stakes in the Summer Cup run-up.

But she takes on some class males.

Top rated amongst those is Abashiri, who has not won a race since eclipsing the SA Triple Crown in April 2016. Corne Orffer appeared to get some life out of the 5yo when he ran on steadily behind Cascapedia in the London News Stakes at his last outing. That was 11 weeks ago and Mike and Adam Azzie would love nothing more than to win a race with the newsmaking son of Go Deputy.

Corne Orffer makes the trip from Cape Town to ride him again.

The dual Gr1 winner French Navy has not won in over two years and rising 7 years of age, he is a difficult fellow to risk the rent money on.

That said, he did run a fair third in this race behind Brazuca last year and has not had any travelling since going unplaced in the July last year.

If anything, he could need the outing after an 11 week absence.

The 2017 Sansui Summer Cup runner-up Fort Ember is always a dangerous pace merchant. The daughter of Elusive Fort was just run out of it late by Orchid Island last time and can play a role again – even from the worst draw.

The ever game Coral Fever put a quiet Sun Met run behind him with

a staunch effort when chasing Will Pays home In the Gr2 Hawaii Stakes in early March. The son of Judpot will relish the increase in trip and comes into the picture on his best performances.

Second of the Tarry trio, the recent Listed Aquanaut Handicap winner Tambalang is ridden by Lyle Hewitson, who appears to be getting the pick of the Tarry stable rides these days. The daughter of Go Deputy takes a jump in class.

Former Sean Tarry charge

Finchatton is now with Gokhan Terzi but lacks current form.

Social Order was an impressive winner of the Gr3 Kings Cup at Greyville on Sunday. He has had a lot of travelling in a short space of time, but has the credentials if recovered from those exertions.

Richard Fourie, who did so well in Gauteng last Saturday, rides the lightly-tried Glider Pilot. The halfbrother to Gr1 winner Rabada was not disgraced in the Gr1 Daily News as a 3yo and takes his chances in

King Of The Road Saturday’s Gr2 Colorado King Stakes is named in honour of a great son of Grand Rapids (Machiero), trained here by Syd Laird.

Winner of the Gr1 Durban July and Gr1 Cape Derby, he won a total of 10 races here before being exported to America. He raced under the Poltex Stable banner in California. He won six races in 1964 including the Hollywood Gold Cup in which he defeated Native Diver, the American Handicap where he equalled the world record for 1800m and the Sunset Handicap over 1700m by seven lengths. In 1965 he won only once in nine starts before being retired to stud where he met with limited success.

the higher league again.

Wind Chill is one of a quartet of fairer sex representatives in the field.

She showed some enthusiasm at her first run back from the Cape last time when fourth beaten a length by Orchid Island. She has to do more to win here – but Piere Strydom is always a value add.

A decent race in the offing.

Abashiri could finally claw his way back to some respectability. Coral Fever, French Navy, Fort Ember and Social Order could be next best.

of the Gold Rush Sprint. While she is probably bred to go quite a bit further, Mrs O has shown a penchant for the shorter trips in her brief career and looks a big runner here off the 52kgs mark.

Her biggest opposition could lie in the form of the rampant Crusade filly, Covered In Snow. A winner of 4 of her 5 starts, the proven courseand-distance galloper is already a

dual stakes winner and has her sights set on the Gr1 SA Fillies Sprint at Scottsville in May. Winter’s Forge enjoys a 5,5kgs turnaround with Covered In Snow for a 9,50 length beating last time. This pacy daughter of Western Winter won on debut but has failed to deliver a knockout blow again. She may be worth including at best , especially in quartets.

Richard Fourie rides Dame Eleanor for

Mike de Kock. The Aussie-bred 4yo stayed on well behind Schippers at her last start and could start improving.

Myfunnyvalentine looks to be recapturing her better junior form and ran on well for second behind Covered In Snow in the Bauhinia.

She has a 1,5kg pull at the weights with the Stenger flyer for a 1,25 length defeat and could be ready

to register her third win. The same applies to stablemate Heaps Of Fun. Magnolia Handicap winner My Friend Lee has very decent straight track form and has enjoyed a break of five weeks since showing plenty of pace when fading late behind Tahini last time.

Mrs O and Covered In Snow are the obvious duo to fight this out. Both are fit and in prime form.

Gr3 KINGS CUP Greyville last Sunday Lyle Hewitson drives Social Order out to beat Platimum Prince (Grant van Niekerk) and It's My Turn (Anthony Delpech)

A

The 2017 Charity Mile runner-up Social Order registered his last victory exactly a year ago to the day on Sunday, but made amends in style with a gutsy performance to win the R250 000 at his first start in KZN.

ssistant trainer Lorenzo Karriem was marking his first feature success for his new boss Sean Tarry, but conceded that he could take little credit as the gelding, who Hollywood priced up at 100-1 in the Vodacom Durban

July ante-post market, had arrived at Summerveld just 24 hours before the race.

With the field reduced to nine runners on the withdrawal of Redcarpet Captain, the pacemaking duties were taken up by Captain America’s full-brother Redeemer,

who was bidding for his fourth straight win on what was expected to be a road to better things.

But carrying a handy galloping weight of 52 kgs, there was no fight left in Redeemer at the 300m as Snaith’s first SA Champions Season runner Platinum Prince unwound a powerful run, with Social Order and Gr1 winner It’s My Turn looking dangerous.

In a drive to the wire, SA Champion apprentice Lyle Hewitson rode a commanding finish to get the best out of the 9-2 Social Order to give

EAST CAPE FILLIES NURSERY (L) Fairview last Friday

PAULINE HERMAN

The Gr1 Allan Robertson Championship at Scottsville in May could be on the radar for the talented Oratorio filly Carlita, who registered her first stakes success with a facile victory in the R150 000 Listed East Cape Fillies Nursery at Fairview.

vontuur’s proven sire with international group race perfromance, Oratorio is having a boom season with his second local crop setting the tracks alight nationwide. His daughter Carlita looks very decent!

Having her first run at 1200m, and with two wins and a solid runner-up credit to the Australianbred Traces in the Listed Summer Juvenile Stakes at Kenilworth on Met day, Carlita looked particularly

hard to oppose in the eight-horse field.

Aldo Domeyer, who was doing the riding honours for his Stepmother Ashley Fortune and the Greeffs, rode a confident race on the Piemonte Stud bred youngster.

Relaxed a few lengths off the pace set by Seattle Empress, Carlita tightened up on the outside and asserted herself at the 200m marker to win in good style.

and said he was a progressive and capable sort who could go on.

The 5-2 favourite Redeemer had every chance but faded to run fifth and 3,15 lengths off the winner.

Bred by Boland Stud, Social Order is a 4yo gelded son of Count Dubois (Zafonic) out of the four-time winner Dancette (Dancing Duel).

Cape Raiders Dominate At Vaal

Richard Fourie has Silvan Star cruising to a smooth win

JC PHOTOS

With big money on offer, and sometimes rather limited opposition to face on the Highveld, it is puzzling why more Cape trainers don’t try and beat the altitude bogey and the inherent risks of long distance travel, and go for the big prizes.

PINNACLE STAKES Vaal last Saturday

D

ean Kannemeyer had some bad luck recently with his top filly Hashtagyolo returning to KZN without racing.

But Glen Kotzen and Justin Snaith’s success at the Vaal on Saturday may have given their colleagues some food for thought.

Contesting a R130 000 Fillies & Mares Pinnacle Stakes on the classic track 1450m, Kotzen’s Silvan Star and Snaith’s Gimme Six

dominated a race which looked local star Nother Russia’s for the taking.

All three were returning from 8 weeks off since Met Day. Silvan Star and Gimme Six had run fourth and fifth respectively in the Majorca Stakes, won in such impressive style

by Snowdance.

The 11-10 favourite Mother Russia was beaten close on 7 lengths by Oh Susanna in the Sun Met. On Saturday, the Mike de Kock 5yo was at least 2,5kgs better off

As a result, the knee began to cause him severe back pain – forcing Khumalo to seek professional help in December 2017. He finally had the pin removed and is now in perfect shape.

“I can safely say I am no longer in pain. Not at all,” he said confidently. “I’ve been riding work for about two weeks now and I feel perfectly fine, no issues.

I’m fit and have had a great dietitian so I feel more than ready now,” he continued.

Khumalo also gives a lot of props to his doctors and therapists, confirming he couldn’t have done it without them. He was also quick to show appreciation for his boss, trainer Sean Tarry.

“Mr Tarry has been a massive support system. He has been helpful. He advices and encourages me on a regular basis,” he said.

The jockey assures that he is both physically and mentally stronger than ever before, stating “I feel better than I’ve felt in a very long time to be honest. I can’t wait to return to competitive riding again.”

“The plan is for me to come back on 7 April, but I will take it nice and slow. Mr Tarry is very supportive, but I will ride horses I’m comfortable with. I’m ready though – I feel ready now,” he continued. - Tabnews

pursue their SA Champions Season campaign.

Ascot Stud bred Silvan Star from champion sire Silvano (Lomitas) out of the one-time winner, Bold Choice (Lecture).

She was purchased for R200 000 on the National Yearling Sale and has won 7 races with 6 places from 18 starts for stakes of R658 675.

Brett Crawford’s SA Champions Season string have arrived at Summerveld and look to have travelled well.

aptain America, winner of last season’s Grade 1 Rising Sun Gold Challenge and second in the Grade 1 Champions Cup, would likely go the same route as last year and thus avoid the Vodacom Durban July.

Sail South, who scored his sole career Grade 1 when winning the Champions Cup last year, will go the same route as Captain America again. However, he will not be receiving 2kg from the latter this year in the Champions Cup as he will now have to carry a 2kg Grade 1 penalty.

An interesting inclusion in the string is Rabada, a twice Grade 1 winner, who has not raced since November 2016, when finishing second last in the Peermont Emperor’s Palace Charity Mile. He has been out with an injury and Crawford said, “He is on the road back, but has not had any major gallops yet, so it is a long road back. But he is doing fine.” Crawford said he would likely nominate Rabada for the July.

His two best three-year-olds, Undercover Agent and White River, are with the string. The former is coming off a fine win in the

US$500,000 CTS Mile on Sun Met day. This Captain Al colt will be aimed at the Grade 2 Daisy Guineas on Champions Season opening night on May 4. Crawford has his doubts about him staying the 2000m of the Grade 1 Daily News 2000. However, the latter race will be the target of Trippi colt White River, who stayed on in eye-catching style for a half-alength second in the Grade 1 Cape Guineas.

Crawford has gone close in the Grade 1 Tsogo Sun Sprint in two of the last three seasons, finishing second with Gulf Storm in 2015 and second with Search Party last year.

The latter, a five-year-old Captain Al gelding, appears to love Scottsville, not surprisingly as he has good early pace and a telling kick. He will be a strong contender for Crawford again this year. However, if the recent six point across the board merit rating raise is taken into account, he is off a merit rating which is four points higher than the one he ran off in last year’s Tsogo Sun, so he is going o have his work cut out.

Crawford will also be targeting Sunset Eyes at the Tsogo Sun. This four-year-old Western Winter gelding

Brett Crawford has won his last four races in KZN, including his last three over the 1200m Tsogo Sun Sprint distance.

Two of those last three wins were at Scottsville, so he will have a shout if he manages to get in with a low weight. His current merit rating of 98 includes the obligatory six point raise, so he will likely need to perform well again before the big date on May 26 to ensure a berth.

Crawford could also have a big two-year-old runner at the Festival Of Speed meeting on May 26 in the form of the Australian-bred two-yearold Snitzel colt Traces, who romped to an impressive victory on Sun Met day in the Listed Tattersalls Summer Juvenile Stakes over 1000m.

Trainer Dean Kannemeyer made a fleeting visit to Post Lafayette in the North East of Mauritius last week to visit his Sun Met runner-up and new globetrotter, Last Winter.

Kannemeyer reported that he was impressed with the facilities and his charge. “He looks well. He has a nice light work-rider looking after him. He is enjoying South African food. It’s hot, but the boxes are well ventilated,” he said. Khaya Stables’ Last Winter will spend 70 days in the pre-Europe export facility.

Friday was a red-letter day for KZN-based Piemonte Stud, who produced three winners at Fairview, including feature star Carlita (Oratorio), Alfeo (Crusade) and Romano (Irish Flame). The stud is named after the province of Piemonte in Italy where the Scribante’s family home remains. The father and son duo of Lee and Dino Scribante share a common love of speed and competition in a variety of sports and disciplines – besides horses, they race cars and pigeons, and show Koi at the highest level.

While Winx made history on Saturday – read more on page xx – it was not a very relaxing race to watch for a certain guy! A punter who was sweating through Winx’s George Ryder success was the man who staked A$114 000 (more than R1 million) to make a profit of A$11 400 (just over R100 000). It was the biggest bet Australian TAB have taken on Winx through her brilliant career.

Beth Shaw and her Equine Training (BSET) Academy offer one of the most respected equine practice courses in South Africa. They have been achieving ground-breaking results with their Transeva device and recently got just a little extra sparkle with government accreditation as well as academic support from some pretty special people.

hat we know today as the Equine Transeva Technique (ETTTM) was originally started by Winks Greene, the daughter of wellknown local trainer, breeder and owner, Denis Labistour.

Originally based on a ‘Strongbox’ device developed by Charles Strong in the UK, the Transeva works along Faradic lines, applying a low electrical impulse to stimulate damaged muscle tissue and improve blood and lymph circulation.

Winks brought the first Transeva to South Africa in 1953, using it with great success in racehorses. When Charles Strong was no longer able to work, the baton passed to Winks and she continued developing and refining the techniques, modifying the Transeva device to make it more portable and improving the pulse to make it more user-friendly. She eventually opened a training centre to pass the work to a new generation and in 2008, Beth Shaw took over the helm.

In January this year, she celebrated the huge milestone of receiving their CATHSSETA accreditation for the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA), meaning BSET and its Equine Practices course are now officially recognised.

Beth Shaw

For those who haven’t met her, Beth is a petite blonde with lively blue eyes and a brisk, determined energy to her.

“I didn’t know whether I was doing the right thing, but securing this makes it easier for students to get visas, student loans etc - and now when people ask whether the course is recognised, I can say yes,” she says proudly.

B e i n g accredited by Government makes the course more marketable internationally and also allowed Beth to keep a long-standing promise. “Years ago I said to myself that as soon as the accreditation comes through, I’m going to the UK to advertise the BSET Academy and to say thank you to Sara Wyche (author of, amongst others, The Horse’s Muscles In Motion).

“When I first started, Winks always spoke about the iliopsoas, but other than Sara’s book, very little had been written about the psoas group and the iliopsoas in particular at the time. Sara’s books were the first good resource I found

dealing with this and not only was it a good tool, it gave me confidence about its importance. Her books are written in a way that’s very easy to understand. The way she rebuilds the horse and the way she draws it – I just connected with it. Then about 2-3 years ago when I had difficult cases, I emailed her and she’s always been there to give me back up and guidance after Winks’ passing. She’s been so supportive and has always encouraged me in my work. So it was just one of those things that you say you’re going to do and then you do it.”

But she also had bigger things in mind.

The Horse Will Tell You

“I went over with the goal of advertising the course to overseas students and to discuss and develop scientific research in Transeva Technique. I’m not an academic, but I have been standing in a stable for 15 years and the horses are showing me something. Now I have to figure it out scientifically.” There is a quiet determination in her words and one can hear her mental cogs whirring away in the background.

The ‘something’ Beth refers to is something she has come to recognise as a fairly specific condition which presents roughly 10 days after extreme exercise exertion.

As Beth and her team learn about the condition, they are also learning how to treat it, which is being aided by the uptake of their work.

“We’re doing a lot of post race and post gallop treatments and what we’re working on a lot now is maintaining and perfecting the equine athlete. We’re often there a few hours after the horse has done hard training and we’re working with them consistently through the season allowing us to build comprehensive data.”

“One of my sayings is that observation alone turns possibility into reality.

It’s fascinating, but the horses are indicating that the Transeva – fantastic as it is - is capable of more than what it’s doing.”

In addition to improving muscle function, Beth has been seeing increasing evidence that the machine is also capable of improving nerve function. “It’s what the horses have been showing me for a long time, but it’s only in the last 2 or 3 years that I’ve been putting things together. I believe, if used correctly, the WG Transeva can help people with neurological diseases.”

Breakthrough

“What’s interesting is that in all my conversations with centres for equine study, there is very little written on equine nerve pain. While we have heaps of practical results and we have case studies, we don’t have scientific data. I have to go back to one study and correlate it with another study – there’s nothing on what I’m learning and trying to put together.”

It’s something Beth intends to remedy.

Tour

The accreditation came through on 19 January and Beth scheduled her trip in late February – probably the coldest week of the year in the Northern Hemisphere! “It was the only time I could do it. After that, life starts getting crazy with the start of Champions Season and all the July horses arriving in KZN.” It was a packed visit, starting off with meeting Dr Ben and Victoria Brain (Brain Partners Equine Vets in Cheltenham) who specialise in resting and dynamic endoscopic

Dubai World Cup Thriller

D

While the Dubai World Cup has been carded as the eleventh race on Saturday’s Turffontein card, the real interest for local fans will lie with lone SA racing ambassador Mike de Kock, who steps into the 23rd renewal of the world’s richest racemeeting on Saturday evening with a two-fisted Silvano hand.

escribed as a tough horse, Zabeel Mile winner Janoobi, who will be ridden by Jim Crowley in the $6 million Gr1 Dubai Turf, has thrived in Dubai and has a chance at place money.

SA Derby winner Al Sahem takes his chances in the $1 million Gr2 Dubai Gold Cup over 3200m.

He will be ridden by Anthony Delpech. “Al Sahem is not good enough for the Gr1 2400m. He is a solid sound horse and he stays well,” added de Kock.

Dubai’s senior trainer, Satish Seemar with five runners to

saddle on Saturday, is approaching the world’s richest single day’s racing with the enthusiasm of a rookie.

“I’ve been here for 27 years,” he said. “It’s the 23rd year of the Dubai World Cup, and this is the best team I’ve ever fielded on the big day.”

His flagbearer is North America, whose appearance in the Dubai World Cup Sponsored by Emirates Airline he describes as fulfilling “a dream.”

The top notch Rafeef

While the Dubai World Cup and Classic Day are two pressing short-term commitments for Mike de Kock, the multiple champion will also be eyeing an elite offering of 534 top-level yearlings catalogued for the 2018 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale at Riverside Stables from 9 to 11 April.

t’s a busy few weeks ahead and there will be one lot on the first Inglis Easter Yearling Sale to be held at the new state of the art Riverside Stables, that Mike will have pencilled in at the top of his shopping list.

De Kock has a terrific track record with his Australian purchases and after his recent buying activity at the Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale, he will no doubt have his heart set on Lot 259 at the Easter Sale.

He is a handsome Redoute’s Choice colt out of former SA Horse Of The Year National Colour, being offered by Arrowfield Stud.

National Colour won 8 races from 1000m to 1200m in SA, UAE & UK.

Affinity De Kock has a strong affinity with this family – he has trained this yearling’s two Gr1 winning brothers, who were purchased at this sale.

They are exciting new Highlands stallion Rafeef and breathtaking 3yo Mustaaqeem, both Gr1 winners racing in the famous Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid al Maktoum blue and white.

Labelled the ‘Thunder From Down Under’, Rafeef was purchased by Shadwell Australia for A$800 000 at the 2014 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale. He won 6 races from 1000m to 1400m at 3 to 4,and achieved a highest official rating of 116. His victories included the Gr1 Computaform Sprint over 1000m and the Gr2 Hawaii

Are They Running Scared?

Stakes run over 1400m.

Rafeef was crowned Champion Sprinter and Champion Older Horse at the 2017 Highveld Feature Awards.

The younger Mustaaqeem, an A$1,7 million buy, has won two of his three starts, including a rout in the 2017 Gr1 SA Nursery. He was beaten on his return to racing last month after a nine month rest, and when in obvious need of the outing.

It includes 38 siblings to Gr1 winners such as Catchy, Starspangledbanner, Mighty Boss, Shoals, Buffering, Mossfun, Lankan Rupee, Flying Artie, Press Statement, Sebring, English, Shooting To Win, The Quarterback and Lucia Valentina.

There are also progeny of 31 Gr1winning mares including Peggy Jean, Secret Admirer, Amanpour, Go Indy Go, Plucky Belle, Norzita, Sacred Choice, Snitzerland, Bonaria and Steps In Time.

Super stallion Snitzel is the leading sire with 64 progeny, while I Am Invincible (41), Fastnet Rock (39), Sebring (34), Redoute’s Choice (23), Pierro (21), Dissident (20), Not A Single Doubt (19), Exceed And Excel (17) and Deep Field (16) round out the top 10.

International There is, as always, a strong international flavour to the catalogue, this year headlined by three outstanding Deep Impact fillies, three Tapits and two Frankels.

Arrowfield Stud is leading vendor with 51 entries ahead of Coolmore Stud (39), Widden Stud (30) and Kitchwin Hills and Segenhoe Stud (24).

Arrowfield also offer the first yearling in the world to be sold at public auction by the dual Gr1-winning Japanese stallion Epiphaneia.

The sale will begin with an afternoon session on Monday April 9, with approximately 120 Lots to be offered from 2pm on Day 1. The next two days begin at 11h00.

D

ue to a poor show of just eleven, entries for the Gr1 mile were extended from last Friday to Monday 26 March, with supplementary entries closing at 09h00 on Thursday 29 March – with declarations by 11h00 on Tuesday 3 April. The extension did not lure any additional challengers.

Legal Eagle will have his first run at home in the Van Huyssteen silks.

He ran fourth behind Oh Susanna in the Sun Met at end January. Sean Tarry’s charge has an unblemished record over the mile, winning eight out of eight races over the distance - five of them being Gr1’s, while two were Gr2’s. That’s a smart record in anybody’s book!

An interesting entrant in the race is 3yo Surcharge, who is also a possible for the R2-million SA Classic over 1800m on the same day.

His trainer Stuart Pettigrew was so frustrated after his charge drew 18 for the second leg of the SA Triple Crown that he decided to give himself an alternative.

A showdown between the progressive son of Gimmethegreenlight and the best miler we have seen for years, could be a serious attraction – even if the numbers look to be limited. That said Surcharge has a tough task at weight-for-age.

Declarations for the SA Classic – and the SA Fillies Classic - close at 11h00 on Wednesday 28 March.

Winx - History Made!

They came closer than most thought in the George Ryder on Saturday. That grand old campaigner Happy Clapper pushing and shunting all the way down the Rosehill straight to finish within three-quarters-ofa-length of Winx. But they’ve come close before and still can’t get past her.

inx stands alone as the most winning Gr1 flat racehorse in the world after she stretched her group race streak to 24 in Saturday’s 1500m George Ryder Stakes at Rosehill.

History was made across all levels, the mare becoming the first horse to win three straight George Ryder Stakes and surpassing American champion John Henry as the most successful flat galloper of all time with 17 Gr1 victories.

The record breaking win saw Winx’s earnings soar past $16.5 million and confirmed her status as the world’s highest ranked galloper.

“It’s like you’re playing for the All Blacks and you’re about to get dropped,” trainer Chris Waller said, adding: “It’s a sick feeling in your guts every time she goes around.”

As to the dream to race her at Royal Ascot, Waller stresses that the $4 million Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick, where she

will vie to equal Black Caviar’s record of 25 consecutive wins, will come before any potential date with the Queen herself.

Winx is raced by Peter Tighe’s Magic Bloodstock Racing along with friends Richard Treweeke and Debbie Kepitis. She was purchased

by Magic Bloodstock for $230,000 at the 2013 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale from the draft of Coolmore Stud, as agent for Fairway Thoroughbreds.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 30th MARCH - SUNDAY 1st APRIL 2018

They say there are courses for horses and bits seem to work the same way.

Someone who knows more about this than most is Pete ‘Bomber’ Nel, who has been in the business of making bits for over 30 years. He recently hit racing headlines by assisting the Mike and Adam Azzie yard with Hat Puntano and also settled a particularly sensitive filly for Duncan McKenzie.

uncan’s filly is called Strawberry Girl. “She’s got lots of ability, but she’s an absolute terror – she just lifts her head and runs blind. We tried everything – even a nathe – and she didn’t want to know. If you started putting nosebands on, she’d just fight,” he explains.

Having worked with Bomber bits during his time with Dean Maroun as well as while working with Wendy Whitehead in Summerveld, Duncan saw Bomber’s interview with James Goodman on Winning Ways. “I listened to what he was saying about a horse’s bars and tongue and the bit he’d designed for Hat Puntano and thought ‘I need one like that!’

With the filly accepted to run over 1200m on 28 February, there wasn’t much time. “I knew if we couldn’t get her to settle, she wouldn’t make it, so I rang Bomber.

I had to measure the teeth, the jaw and all these things and send the information through. They did an assessment and recommended a bit (coincidentally, a DC Morgan, the same one as Hat Puntano), sent it off by courier and it arrived at 11am the next day. They were very efficient and Bomber kept ringing to check whether I’d received it.”

The bit arrived at 11am on Thursday morning, so I only got to work her in it on Thursday afternoon.

We gave her a little time to get used to it and then took her for a canter and Teaque (Gould) couldn’t believe she was such a different horse.” Strawberry Girl went to post the following day as scheduled and to quote Duncan, ‘shat in’ by 2.75 lengths.

When I heard that Bomber was coming to Cape Town for a bit fitting weekend, I made sure I tagged along.

Meeting Bomber Friday’s session was a chance to meet Bomber and his wife Trish, to listen to Bomber’s philosophies on bitting, his findings from his years of experience and, of course, to see his work first hand.

Bomber is immediately warm and likeable. With something of the air of an eccentric professor about him, his enthusiasm for his craft is matched only by his kindness and patience in explaining it to others and it was a thoroughly enlightening evening.

Bomber’s philosophy is a fairly simple one and is based on the

premise that Pressure = Resistance and Resistance = Lack Of Control.

Horses are flight animals and naturally resist confrontation, so their instinctive response to a threat is to run away or try and avoid it if possible. This is expressed by resistance or avoidance of some form (opening the mouth, coming above or behind the bit, sucking back the tongue, etc) which in turn results in a lack of control. Where most people attempt to solve the problem by adding nosebands or trying more severe bits’, Bomber’s approach is to relieve the pressure, resulting in a more comfortable and cooperative horse.

Where to start Bomber recommends always assessing a new horse from scratch.

In the same way that one would check the teeth, back and saddle fit, he recommends taking a good look at the horse’s mouth before accepting that the current bit really is the best fit.

It was interesting to hear Bomber say that in his 30 years in the business, he has seen horses’ jaws – and their lower jaws in particular, become markedly narrower, meaning that more often

than not, we are using bits that are too big.

He has also noticed mouths getting smaller and the length of what he refers to as the ‘smile’ becoming shorter, while lips and tongues are becoming more fleshy.

“Remember that the mouth is the most sensitive part of a horse.

Having an ill-fitting or uncomfortable bit is like having a stone in your shoe.

But in their case, they can’t remove it.” If a horse feels discomfort, it may try to suck back its tongue or open its mouth to try and avoid the pressure. The traditional solutions are either to strap the tongue down with a tongue tie or close the mouth with a noseband, which may end up compounding the problem.

Because of a complex relationship of muscle attachments, a horse can only stride as far as its nose can reach, making it vital that they are using their heads and necks freely.

Mike de Kock once said to me ‘At my level there is 2% difference between walking to the winner’s enclosure or walking back to the stable. If I can get 0.5% from feed, another 0.5% from training, 0.5% from the vet, dentist and physio then if you give me your 0.5%, I’ve got 2%.”

Bomber hypothesises that sucking back of the tongue may even have an impact on bleeding. But either way, it is certain that discomfort affects performance. In a sport where millimetres can separate a winner from an also ran, getting it right is well worth the effort and Bomber insists that getting the right bit can make a dramatic difference.

“When you remove the pressure, the change is immediate,” he enthuses.

“And when you see that, you get goosebumps!”

How it works A bit can act in four main places – on the tongue, on the bars of the jaw, the roof of the mouth (depending on the mouthpiece) and some also exert poll pressure. One also needs to take into consideration the correct size of the horse’s mouth, the spacing of the teeth (particularly the canines in entires and geldings), the fleshiness of the lips, the size of the tongue, the shape of the palate and the shape of the horses’ bars.

Fitting Most opt for a thick bit on the assumption that it is the kindest option, but when one considers that it has to compete for real estate with the teeth, tongue and cheeks which are now all compressed into a smaller area – things start to look a little different.

“Every horse is different, so first you have to identify where the horse doesn’t want pressure. Then you have to remove the pressure or alternatively, distribute it over a larger surface area.”

It has been Bomber’s life’s work to find ways to remove or redistribute pressure. Bomber’s ‘Happy Tongue’, is a ported mullen mouth snaffle with an ergonomically shaped port to relieve tongue pressure. For shortermouthed horses, it is a traditional horizontal design, whereas for horses with slightly longer mouths (or in order to accommodate canine

teeth), there is an angled option, but whether it is a snaffle for a dressage horse, a Pelham for an Icelandic pony or anything inbetween, the aim is always comfort first and to redistribute as much pressure as possible.

As the bars differ widely from horse to horse - and some horses may even have mismatched bars Bomber has started taking moulds of horses’ mouths, enabling him to get a better understanding of the shape of the bars, further helping to refine the process.

With horses’ mouths getting smaller, ascertaining the correct size and thickness is important. The general trend is to use something that is too wide, resulting in it sliding around inside the horse’s mouth as well as applying pressure unevenly.

Bomber is also a proponent of using a bit strap to help stabilise each bit.

He uses a variety of materials, including his trademark blue tinted sweet iron to his newly launched feather-light Titanium range and each Bomber original is stamped with the size of the bit as well as the brand name on the left hand side of the bit.

There is a wide range of mouth pieces, cheek pieces, thicknesses as well as solid, single or double jointed options. Bomber even has cable bits and, as no two mouths are alike, prefers to modify and custom design bits for each specific horse. With every bit hand made at Bomber’s KZN factory, he can finesse each aspect to ensure something that fits perfectly. Best of all, being locally made, they are all Proudly South African.

Bomber takes care to ensure his designs are approved by the NHA and he also has as many as possible approved for competition by the FEI.

Consultations During the bitting consultations, each horse was assessed under saddle in its current bit. Then Bomber took the bit out, examined the horse’s mouth from scratch and more often than not, recommended a different bit to try. Being able to watch from the sidelines was fascinating. In every case but one, there was a markedly different reaction from each horse to the different bits and Bomber’s relentless attention to detail and to finessing and fine tuning just the right solution for each horse was phenomenal.

Bomber, who incidentally turns 70 later this year, spent the entire day on his feet, as did Trish who patiently took notes and comments for the files. His energy was formidable and his enthusiasm infectious.

I rushed home to poke around inside my own horses’ mouths and my discoveries left plenty of food for thought as well as room for improvement, but as per the old saying, once you know better, you do better. I’ve filled out a couple of assessment sheets and am looking forward to seeing what Bomber and the team come up with. Here’s hoping for goosebumps!

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 30th MARCH - SUNDAY 1st APRIL 2018

KZN Start Woes Continue Sporting Post reader and Gauteng-based racehorse owner Eric Joell writes in our mailbag that he was in KZN for a few days and visited Greyville on Wednesday 21 March as his filly was participating in a barrier trial: My wife and I stayed for the entire meeting and we were there to witness the shambles at the starting stalls in the last race.

Your header article in last week’s paper doesn't do justice to the shambolic state of both the starter and the way the incident(s) were handled.

If I am not mistaken the faulty stall was number 10. There was a first false start and a rerun of the race commenced without the favourite, and another horse, who were both scratched by the vet.

The starter proceeded to load a horse into the ‘faulty’ number 10 stall. The number 9 stall then opened early and the number five horse got about a half a length jump on the field and won the race by five lengths from the new tote favourite.

The number five horse was then declared a non runner "as he had an advantage on the field from the start".

My questions to the authorities are: Why did the starter load a horse into a clearly faulty starting stall?

Does he have no idea what is going on ? He could have used his iniative and left the number 10 pen empty.

Why was another false start not called as the number five horse jumped half a length early?

The race was allowed to continue when it was clearly another false start and the number five horse was subsequently declared a non runner.

I could clearly see the jockey on the horse in the outside stall holding his horse back and looking at the starter, as he expected to have a false start declared.

Is the starter not watching the pens with his naked eye and/or is there not an automated system that declares a false start?

Clearly the starter at Greyville needs to be trained properly.

If I, as a member of the public and a non professional racing person can see this, then surely a person whose job it is to start the horses correctly can see this?

The poor owner who thought she had won the race gave a post -race interview so she must be really upset.

The punters who tore up their tickets must also be upset.

Financially I was happy as I had

M

R200 on the favourite and he was eventually given the race - just letting you know this so you don't think I am speaking on behalf my wallet!

Blinder

On a second issue with the Greyville TV feed, can you please ask Tellytrack why the producer zooms in on the first horse at the last 200m of the race? We race enthusiasts (who may have runners in a race) can't see how the other horses in the race are running or finishing.

I am personally of the opinion that this is one of the main contributors to declining tote turnovers. Punters cannot see how the other horses run and therefore do not bet.

Ed - Gold Circle Producer Raymond Rogers responds regarding the TV Feed: It is of my opinion that the writer checks his facts before he puts pen to paper. The camera situated on the finish line at Greyville captures as many horses as possible in the field depending how the field is spread out at the finish, we then proceed to the slowmo for the finishing order of the race followed by the head on camera and then a close up of the winner.

We never concentrate on the winning horse during the last 200 metres of the race. This procedure happens at all the major tracks in South Africa in Cape Town, Gauteng and KwaZulu Natal.

And Another Big Sigh A 6YO with no history of start antics was declared a runner and under starter’s orders at Greyville on Sunday in another show of lack of discretion on the part of the starter and stipes.

A race review was called into the start of the second race regarding the Garth Puller-trained Big Si(W Kennedy).

According to the official stipes report, the Board noted that Big Si hesitated, threw his head up and lost significant ground to the field.

The Stipendiary Board after reviewing the patrol video was of the view that this was the action of Big Si (W Kennedy) and declared him to be a runner.

In view of the Starter’s Report concerning Big Si this gelding has been suspended in terms of Rule 61.6.10 for a period of 7 days and until such time as it is recertified tractable with a companion.

Suspension dates : 25th March 2018 to 31st March 2018. Big Si may not be presented for repassing during this period. Trainer G B Puller advised (SH).

Visual observation, and following investigations by the Sporting Post, it is clear that there is a great likelihood that the vigorous arm movement and removal of the hood from horses by the stalls handlers on either side of Big Si, could well have spooked him.

On that basis, and given the horse’s history, surely a discretionary call could have been made in favour of his backers and the softer option of a non-runner call?

To add insult to injury, Big Si is also effectively suspended for an event that may well not have been his doing.

Garth Puller, who had three runners in the race, enjoyed some consolation, when Dubai-bound Anthony Delpech rode a terrific race to get Big Si’s stablemate and favourite Rio De La Plata home.

Despite recent calls by senior jockeys and trainers, the National Horseracing Authority have done nothing to address the issues. But we will look forward to their monthly newsletter filled with innocuous waffle.

Fly By Night Tops

ayfair Speculators disposed of 19 horses in training, grossing R2 685 000 at the CRT Horses In Training & Mixed Sale at Kenilworth last Thursday.

The former SA champion owners were the major vendors at the well-attended sale held at the Southern Suburbs racetrack’s parade ring.

The cold statistics don’t tell the full story as the Jooste ownership vehicle is only a part shareholder in many of the horses sold. They also had interests in some of the broodmares sold – which

statistics are published separately.

This included the Gr1 winning Jet Master mare Fly By Night who sold for R1,3 million in foal to new Klawervlei sire, William Longsword.

She was bought by David Hepburn-Brown’s Hemel ‘n Aarde Stud who bought 12 lots, including multiple Graded winner Hammie’s Hooker for R800 000. The daughter of Trippi has a Gimmethegreenlight colt at foot.

Hepburn Brown topped the Horses In Training charts at R1 million for the unraced juvenile

daughter of Silvano, Queen Nitocris, consigned by Bass Racing. Out of the stakes producing Kabool mare Egyptian Reign, she was originally bought by Bass Racing for R2,2 million off the 2017 Cape Premier Yearling Sale.

Gauteng trainer Gokhan Terzi bought four horses, including the R6 million yearling Silver Coin, who went for a discounted R300 000.

Veteran Cape trainer Bill Prestage, a man with a keen eye, bought last Saturday’s Dynasty maiden winner Super Performer for R110 000.

Just An Illusion?

A

Sectional timing for South African racing has been bandied about for several years now.

fter an incident at Fairview on 15 January where a number of timing devices becam dislodged from runners’ saddle cloths mid-race, the Sporting Post was contacted by David Gregory, International Business Director of Equimotion Technologies, who are implementing sectional timing in ‘Phumelela country’.

Mr Gregory informed us that he ‘hoped’ to have the technology up and running at all six racetracks in February.

On 14 March Mr Gregory informed us via email that ‘sectional time has gone live today’.

His mail referred us to www. tellytrack. com – ‘archive – click on SPEEDFORM’.

‘Good colourful simple data,’ added the short communication.

That happened to a be a Greyville raceday – which puzzled us as it is not a Phumelela track.

A request to Phumelela Executive Rob Scott, who is in charge of Sectional Timing, as to why no press release was forthcoming, elicited the following response: “We have been receiving data for some time from the sectional timing supplier. We have now developed a matrix for people to work with and test. We still have days where data transfer is an issue, so we have had a soft launch to see how the processes work and make adjustments as we want. Sometimes the data comes through incorrectly. This is a work in progress. When we are happy we will do a launch. It happened today for no other reason that out techies were ready.”

With Cape trainers recently voting not to implement the system, we canvassed a cross section of trainers and jockeys across the country to get their thoughts.

The general consensus was that while everyone was in favour of supporting any initiative that would improve racing and, in particular, the betting product for the punter, the feeling was that the current system was far from ideal.

Gauteng trainers’ representative Mike de Kock noted that Joburg trainers had not voted on the issue as yet, but said he had recently seen new devices half the size of the previous versions and noted that it looked as though the technology was improving.

He did have some pertinent questions as follows: “Why are we reinventing the wheel? There are great tried and tested systems out there including TRAKUS (which has been pitched to SA and turned down). How much did KZN spend trying their own thing and come up with ZERO .. now Cape Town and Gauteng are trying there own thing at what cost? If we went with a proven

tested international successful system we would have been up and running years ago at less cost.

TRAKUS is good enough for Hong Kong and Dubai, but not South Africa? Come on!”

After Cape trainers recently voted against implementing the Equimotion system, Cape trainers’ representative Vaughan Marshall explained, “Cape trainers voted against it, but not because we’re against implementing sectional timing. We are all for anything that will help people and particularly the punter, but we’ve got to have the proper equipment. It’s got to be small and it’s got to be effective and we do not feel that the current transponder is the right one. It’s nothing personal, we just feel it’s not the right equipment. If you watch top sportsmen, they carry small transponders between their shoulder blades. If we can get something like that on the horses that can do the job, then that would be a different story. We are all in favour of doing things for the betterment of the game, but if we accept something substandard and wait six months to say we’re not happy, the reaction will be ‘but you’ve been using it for six months!’ If you’re going to do it, do it properly.”

Jockeys were equally in favour of sectional timing, citing benefits such as learning to read pace and timing better in the way jockeys do in America and Australia where they all have ‘clocks in their heads’.

They felt it would also benefit them in terms of explaining what happened in a race to owners and trainers, as they would have the empirical data to back them up.

However, they shared trainers’ reservations with regard to the size and design of the transponders, as well as the placement.

The devices were originally placed in the middle of the saddle cloth, directly behind the saddle and above the horse’s spine.

The major concern was that the transponder was situated too closely behind the saddle and that jockeys frequently sat on it, causing discomfort both for themselves and for the horse.

Although there have been modifications and the device is now situated to one side of the saddle cloth, the design remains far from ideal, as the weight of the transponder pulls on the saddlecloth and can be felt by the riders.

Some also voiced concerns that the new location interfered when they used the crop.

Jockey MJ Byleveld said, “Perhaps this is something that we will get used to in time but we would prefer further developing, fine tuning or even sourcing a more suitable “device” that can do the job. Basically the device is too big. I believe there are much smaller devices abroad that work perfectly.”

Mundo. The latter recorded a remarkable treble when victorious in all of the Gold Bowl/Gold Vase/Gold Cup in 2017.

The world lost an outstanding broodmare with the death of Hasili last week. The daughter of dual Derby winner, Kahyasi, was 27 years old at the time of her death.

If Only

S

he had been pensioned since 2012. Hasili, whose four wins included the Listed Prix des Sablonnets, is one of just a handful of mares to produce five Gr1 winners.

Four of her five Gr1 winners were sired by fellow Juddmonte product, Danehill, (Cacique, Champs Elysees, Banks Hill and Intercontinental). Danehill also sired Hasili’s outstanding sire son Dansili.

Hasili’s only GR1 winner sired by a sire other than Danehill was Gr1 Beverly D Stakes/ Gr1 Matriarch Stakes winner, Heat Haze - whose sire, Green Desert, like Danehill, was a son of Danzig.

She is also just one of a handful of mares to have been represented by more than one Breeders’ Cup winner, with daughters Banks Hill and Intercontinental winning the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf in 2001 and 2005 respectively.

Hasili was a little unlucky not to have had a third Breeders’ Cup winner, with Dansili just beaten into third in the 2000 Breeders’ Cup Mile.

In total, Hasili left behind seven winners, with all seven winning at least one group or graded race. Her short lived Storm Cat daughter, Deluxe, won the Gr3 Cardinal Handicap and was beaten half a length into second in the 2010 Gr1 Prix Saint-Alary.

Flagbearer

Hasili is also dam of the New Zealand based stallion, Raise The Flag, a son of Sadler’s Wells who was unplaced on his only racecourse appearance.

Despite his lack of racing record, Raise The Flag’s pedigree ensured him a berth at stud, his five stakes winners including Gr3 Newcastle Gold Cup winner, Broadside.

Hasili’s legacy lives on through her Breeders’ Cup winning daughters as well as her sire sons, most notably Gr2 Prix Du Muguet winner, Dansili.

Champion Sire in France in 2006, Dansili has established himself as one of the very best sire sons of Danehill.

He has 20 Gr1 winners to his credit, including Breeders’ Cup winners Dank and Queen’s Trust, and the Gr1 winners and Gr1 sires, Rail Link, Harbinger, and Zoffany.

Dansili Dansili, whose sons have won the historic Grand Prix de Paris on three occasions, is also responsible for 1000 Guineas winner Miss France, outstanding racemare The Fugue, and the remarkably durable 21 time winner Famous Name. He is one of the leading sires today . Dansili has more than 120 stakes winners to his name and notable for not having won at Gr1 level himself.

To The Wells

Dansili has done particularly well when mated to Sadler’s Wells line mares and is now also enjoying increasing success as a broodmare sire, being damsire of the Gr1 winners Chicquita (Irish Oaks), Astaire (Middle Park Stakes), Nezwaah (Pretty Polly Stakes) and Capla Temptress (Natalma Stakes), to name a few. He also left his mark in South Africa through his highclass daughter, Espumanti, who earned more than R1 million in stakes. A brilliant winner of her first three races, Espumanti trained on well to collect a pair of graded triumphs, namely the 2013 Gr2 Ipi Tombe Challenge and the 2014 Gr2 Betting World 1900.

Hasili’s South African ties can also be traced back through her daughter, Banks Hill.

The full-sister to Dansili was Europe’s Champion 3YO Filly of 2001 and Eclipse Champion Turf Female in the US for the same year. She won five times, with her tour de force coming with a five and a half length romp over short-lived South African champion, Spook Express in the 2001 Gr1

Breeders’ Cup F&M Turf.

Banks Hill left her mark at stud through her Gr1 Prix Jean Romanet winning daughter, Romantica (Galileo), who ironically enough finished second in the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf 2013 (behind Dansili’s daughter, Dank!). Romantica is a half-sister to successful South African sire, Ideal

World (Kingmambo), whose four wins included a pair of Listed successes in France. Based at Mauritzfontein since 2010, Ideal World regularly comes up with talented performers, who tend to be best over a trip. His best runner to date is Met winning champion, Smart Call, with Ideal World also responsible for Equus Champion Stayer, Hermoso

Time – To Fly!

With ten lots coming up on our two April sales, Nadeson Park stallion Time Thief registered a timeous first Gr1 winner when his smart daughter In Her Time grabbed a deserved victory in the Gr1 The Galaxy at Rosehill on Saturday.

s jockey Corey Brown missed Saturday’s meeting through suspension, Hong Kongbased Australian Zac Purton picked up the ride. Purton said he was confident throughout the race on In Her Time, who was sent out favourite and led strongly from midfield to hit the front in the final 200m.

The Ben Smith-trained In Her Time had been knocking on the door with three Gr1 placings in the past year and the mare got her

time to shine in her return from a spell in Saturday’s 1100m contest.

“I don’t know what to feel at the moment. It probably hasn’t sunk in yet,” Smith said after landing his first Group One win.

“It’s something that we’ve targeted for a long time, winning a Gr1 with this mare and she finally has now.”

The A$2.5 million TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) at Randwick in two weeks is In Her Time’s next target.

A ¾ brother to SA Champion Sprinter Laisserfaire, Time Thief stood his first season at stud in Australia in 2010 and

Hasili could have had another outstanding sire on her hands in the form of Cacique, had severe fertility issues not troubled the Gr1 Man O’War/Gr1 Manhattan winning son of Danehill. Cacique, who retired to stud in 2007, was pensioned from stud duties after just a few seasons due to his infertility. Cacique’s first foals, which numbered just 29, produced four group winners, headed by Gr1 winners Mutual Trust (Prix Jean Prat), Slumber (Manhattan Stakes) and Dominant (Hong Kong Vase). His son Slumber now stands at the storied Calumet Farm.

Remarkably, Dansili and Cacique are not the only sons of Hasili to have sired Gr1 winners. The now Coolmore based National Hunt stallion, Champs Elysees, Canada’s Horse Of The Year in 2009, left his mark on the flat racing scene through his Gold Cup winning son, Trip To Paris, and is also sire of recent Gr1 Australian Cup hero, Harlem, as well as group/ graded winners Jack Naylor, Suffused, Renown, Xcellence and Billesdon Brook. The latter holds an entry for the 2018 Qipco 1000 Guineas.

While Hasili, who, like the great sire, Giant’s Causeway, descended from the mare Itsabet (Heliopolis), may have passed on, it appears safe to say her legacy will continue for years to come. relocated to South Africa in 2015.

Runner up in the Gr1 Caulfield Guineas, the son of Redoute’s Choice is sire of Aus Gr1 millionaire In Her Time and multiple stakes winner Volkoff and other stakes performers.

A top class racehorse, Time Thief won or placed in six of his seven outings. Winner of the Listed Zeditave Stakes, Time Thief’s top performances included a second in the Gr1 Caulfield Guineas, where he was beaten by Whobegotyou, and a third in the Gr1 Australia Stakes, to champion Apache Cat. An A$2 million yearling buy, Time Thief is a son of triple Australian Champion Sire Redoute’s Choice and is one of five stakes horses produced by the Gr3 Tristarc Stakes winner Procrastinate.

Time Thief’s first South African crop go through the sales ring this year and anyone wanting to ‘buy time’ will find 9 on offer at the Cape Thoroughbred Sales April Yearling Sale on 12/13 April and 1 catalogued on the Bloodstock South Africa National Yearling Sales on 24/25/26 April.

BLAST FROM THE PAST

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

Three From Four

Five From Ten

Greyville 18 March Four of the eight races on Sunday’s turf card were run over 1400m, and very marginally the quickest home in these was SIR BERNADINI in the afternoon’s feature event, a MR84 Handicap.

Now a winner of three of his four career starts to date, Dennis Bosch’s charge raced sixth of the nine for most of the journey. He quickened well when the runaway leader MBALI started to come back to the field, and in what proved to be a real thriller he got the verdict by a short head over AMAZON KING. Two maiden juvenile plates over 1000m got proceedings underway and in a time 1,01 seconds faster than the boys, the Oratorio filly Petra got off the mark. Narrowly first past the post in a barrier trial, in her only previous racecourse appearance, Petra was soon up handy. She was ridden to lead early in the short home straight, and won going away by three and three quarters.

They also ran two barrier trials over 1000m, but these took place on the poly track. The second of these was by far the quicker, but even this event was devoid of real pace. The first two home were never really asked to race, and with a whisker separating them (HECTOR HEATHCOTE and SHE’S A DREAM) at the wire, they finished well clear of the remainder.

TITBITS

Vaal 20 March They raced on the new classic track on Tuesday where four of the first five races were staged over 1000m. The bill topping MR96 Handicap was by far the fastest of these and here we saw another smart performance from the progressive CATHEDRAL COUNTY. Now a winner of five of his ten career outings, the 4yo son of Trippi was soon positioned close to the speed. He put his head in front approaching the 200m marker and drew clear easily in the closing stages of the race to score by three and a half.

Despite there being no real pace early on, the MR72 Handicap was the faster of the two 2000m events and here the lightly raced OUR SHINING STAR registered her second career victory. Content to race second last during the early part of the event, this 3yo daughter of Silvano ran on best of all when the race began in earnest, and won well after striking the front 150m out.

Two 1500m handicaps rounded off proceedings and stopping the clock in marginally the faster of these was POST GRAD in the MR84 affair. Easy to back at 147/20 on the off, the 6yo raced in midfield for most of the journey. He quickened well from halfway and under a well-judged ride from Gunter Wrogemann, he got up late to deny the always handy (led 200m) JACKMAN. TITBITS

Positioned thirteenth of the fourteen early on, poorly drawn SCRIPTWRITER ran on well over the final 400m when getting up late to win the MR64 Handicap over 1400m.

The Indigo Magic filly PALMIETO came from the back when getting up in the dying strides to win the maiden plate over 1600m.

Vaal 24 March Racing returned to the classic track on Saturday where following 106mm of rain in the previous seven days the going was posted as good to soft. Three of the afternoon’s nine races were staged over 1450m and stopping the clock in the fastest of these, a pinnacle stakes, was the visiting SILVAN STAR. Sent off third in the betting market at 71/20, Glen Kotzen’s charge was content to amble along at the back early on. Just six went to post though, and when the race began in earnest she was only six lengths off them. She was ridden to lead approaching the 200m pole and although another Western Cape visitor in GIMME SIX tried her best to make a race of it, she won well by a length.

The two 1600m races were both handicaps and marginally the faster of these was the MR70 affair won by QUEBEC QUEEN.

Freely available at 8/1 on the off, Paul Peter’s charge ran on well from midfield and just as she did in her last outing she got the better of the always handy FLOWING GOWN. Two 2000m handicaps rounded off the day’s fare and in the faster of these the veteran of some 62 races GENTLEMAN ONLY registered his fifth career victory. Ridden by the visiting Western Cape jockey Richard Fourie, the 5yo Miesque’s Approval gelding as per usual, came from off them. He ran on best of all at the business end of the race and after a thrilling tussle with the 3yo MAMBO SYMPHONY late on, he got the verdict by a neck.

TITBITS The 4yo Rebel King gelding SHORTSTOP completed a hat-trick when winning the MR72 Handicap over 1200m going away.

Everything In Order Greyville 25 March

The Gr3 Kings Cup topped the bill on Sunday’s turf card and in what proved to be by far the fastest of the three 1600m races, SOCIAL ORDER registered his third career victory. On leaving the stalls it was the four-timer seeking REDEEMER who elected to make the running whilst Sean Tarry’s charge raced in touch in fifth. He was asked to take up the running going through the 300m, and just had enough in hand to hold off the very steadily gaining PLATINUM PRINCE. by a neck.

Following the two early barrier trials, a maiden juvenile plate was first up and here we saw a smart performance from the Dennis Drier trained GOLIATH HERON. Backed into second favourite at the track, the son of Master Of My Fate was a little slow into stride, but despite that was soon up handy. He put his head in front shortly after passing the 300m pole and drew clear easily in the closing stages of the race to score by four.

The stable of Dennis Drier was also on the mark in the MR76 Handicap over 1600m when the recent maiden winner BREAKING BARRIERS completed a quick double. Taken straight to the front by Sean Veale the daughter of Judpot made all. She fought on doggedly when challenged strongly over the final 300m and just held on from the very steadily gaining JUST MY STYLE by a neck.

TITBITS A little slow into stride, HEART OF A LEGEND caught the eye running on strongly from midfield when a one length runner up in the maiden plate over 1600m.
