Egoli Mile winner Drop Kick - two good runs in PE

EAST CAPE DERBY (L) at Fairview this Saturday

I

Former trainer Mitch Wiese and ownerbreeder Albert Boshoff teamed up in 2009 to win the Gr3 East Cape Derby with the then relatively unknown Lizard’s Desire. A decade later, Wiese remains the last local trainer to raise the cup with Cape raiders having cleaned up in the ensuing years.

t’s been a long cold lonely winter in some respects for the locals – although the outstanding Lizard's Desire, who was ridden by S’manga Khumalo to win the Derby, carried the PE flag with great pride on the world stage. He would go to be pipped in the Dubai World Cup under the Mike de Kock banner before exacting sweet revenge over his conquerer Gloria De Campeao to win the Gr1 Singapore Airlines International Cup at Kranji in Singapore a few months later in that memorable 2010 season.

The Cape is represented by five runners on Saturday in a race now ranked Listed, with Justin Snaith (3 Derby’s in the past ten years) leading Vaughan Marshall and Joey Ramsden on two apiece. The latter duo do not have runners this year.

But that’s all history and a brand new day dawns with 14

runners facing the start just before 16h00 on Saturday.

Greg Ennion has high regard for his charge Cedar Man, who is also the highest rated galloper in the field. The son of Pomodoro, who will go on to KZN for the SA Champions Season, has his first run at Fairview but has the form to back his winning claims. With two close-up seconds at his last two starts he is set to go very close under Gavin Lerena.

Greg Ennion tells us more on page 17 – including that his charge put up winning work earlier this week.

His major threat appears to be Brett Crawford’s St Vladimir, who is held by Cedar Man on their last clash. A classy looking son of Fort Wood, St Vladimir reeled off three wins on the trot before blotting his copybook at his last start. He tries the 2400m for the first time.

The only filly in the race, the welltravelled Just Chaos was a bit onepaced late in the East Cape Oaks at her last start – but is all heart

and has won 4 of her 11 starts. She looks likely to stay the trip and must have place prospects.

Sailing Lizard travels from the Cape West Coast and carries the Plattner Racing flag. The son of Sail From Seattle gets the blinkers first time and will be ridden by the inform Bernard Fayd’herbe. He may have needed his last start and prior to that was just over 6 lengths off Atyaab in the Cape Derby. He was a fair fourth behind Friday evening’s KRA Guineas winner Twist Of Fate in the Politician Stakes – so isn’t without hope.

The former Alec Laird trained Drop Kick showed fair ability up in Gauteng , including a smart win in the Egoli Mile. The son of Judpot has shown fair enthusiasm at his two starts here for Grant Paddock and could be ready to run a big race – although held by In A Perfect World.

His stablemate Country Rock has been threatening for some time to register his second win and could be dangerous if he stays on. He interestingly won his maiden over 1200m in the Cape but has been running on as if he is crying our for more. A dark horse, maybe?

One of the major local hopes, In A Perfect World has won his last two starts and really appeared to enjoy the 2000m last time when winning

with some authority. He would need to improve a lot to match the Cape’s top two, though.

Justin Snaith’s Swift Surprise is an interesting candidate. He may not have the exposed form of his hometown contemporaries but has improved steadily as he has tried a trip and has run on well at his recent starts. The jockey-trainer combination, together with the regard in which they hold their unexposed son of Twice Over, suggest that we can ignore the official ratings and include this one in all bets.

Candice Bass-Robinson won this race in 2017 with Dorset Noble and saddles Ideal World’s gelded son, Mercurana. The one-time winner is a half-brother to the stable’s Vodacom Durban July winner Marinaresco and is bred to go the trip. But he has not quite shown the signs yet.

Jay’s Hawk has only won on the polytrack and is well held by In A Perfect World on his last run.

First of the Gavin Smith trio, Tom ‘N Jerry hasn’t shown signs yet of being a likely Derby winner and is drawn widest of the lot.

A one-time winner, Wildcat looks an optimistic entry and tries the trip for the first time. He won his maiden over 1400m – so is difficult to assess.

Third of the Gavin Smith runners

and still a maiden, Brigadoon Ely will be partnered by S’manga Khumalo who was aboard Lizard’s Desire all those years ago. A lightly raced son of Ideal World, he could be anything stepping up from the mile to the 2400m.

Jacques Strydom knows how to get the stayers fit and he saddles Cape Leopard. The son of The Apache won his maiden over 2200m on the all-weather, so obviously stays. But his form suggests that he could struggle against the stronger visitors.

We have to ride the Greg Ennion confidence and side with Cedar Man to confirm his status as a decent up-and-coming young stayer. St Vladimir and Drop Kick could be the main dangers – while In A Perfect World hails from a top local yard.

7 Anton Marcus and Hawwaam cruise to victory

Gr1 PREMIER'S CHAMPIONS CHALLENGE Turffontein last Saturday

T

Mike de Kock’s star 3yo Hawwaam put the cherry on top of a R7,2 million Pick 6 prize at Turffontein on Saturday when he streaked clear to an impressive victory in the R4 million Gr1 Premier's Champions Challenge.

he 3yo, who had social media and the chat forums buzzing after his shock withdrawal prior to the SA Derby last month, stamped himself a colt with a bright future as he drew off to beat stablemate Cascapedia by an unpressured 4 lengths.

Hawwaam, who started a red hot

odds-on order, was always in a good position and he won his biggest prize to date amid roars of approval from the festive Champions Day crown.

“I don’t often get to say this but I’m at a loss for words,” remarked new jockey Anton Marcus on his return to the winner’s enclosure.

“That really was impressive.”

Trainer Mike de Kock was a little more conservative.

“Look, Hawwaam only beat a 107 and a 105 today we’d like to see him against a stronger field. There was a bit of pressure on today, it’s never easy for a three-year-old to take on older horses at weight for age. Well done to the programmers, who moved dates so we could see a top three-year-old against the older ones, it’s a spectacle everyone likes to see.”

The multiple champion trainer will be hitting the East Coast soon.

Hawwaam and stable companion Soqrat, who ran a fast finishing fourth

in Friday evening’s KRA Guineas, will be entered for the Gr1 Rising Sun Gold Challenge, the Gr1 Champions Cup and the Gr1 Daily News.

“We’ll be looking at the draws.

Greyville has become a bit of a gocart track. We made a mistake on Friday evening with Soqrat from a wide draw in the KZN Guineas and we won’t make the same mistake again,” said De Kock Hawwaam won unextended by 4 lengths in a time of 124,13 secs.

The good mare Cascapedia tried her heart out in second, with the vastly improved Divine Odyssey a

further quarter length back in third.

The 2016 champion Legal Eagle made up lengths from last to stay on into fourth.

A R1 million National Yearling Sale graduate, the half-brother to Sun Met winner Rainbow Bridge -who ran such a cracker in Friday evening’s Drill Hall Stakes – Hawwaam was bred by Mauritzfontein & Wilgerbosdrift, and is a son of multiple champion Silvano (Lomitas) out of the seven-time winner, Halfway To Heaven (Jet Master).

He took his win total to 5 from 6 starts with 1 place and stakes of R4 378 125.

Gr1 COMPUTAFORM SPRINT Turffontein last Saturday

Superb Striker!

Piere Strydom gets Pacific Trader up to shade Rebel Princess

I

t’s unbelievable to think that Strydom is jetting off to Mauritius soon to seek his fortune as a result of a lack of support on the home front. The veteran’s genius judgement of pace and strength in the finish was all that stood between Yvette Bremner and a second victory in the race after Copper Trader – coincidentally ridden by Striker – won it in 2014.

Strydom had Pacific Trader out the stalls quickly and he tracked the

lightning fast Princess Rebel all the way. At the 200m mark Strydom hesitated as he seemed to want to go in but then opted to come outside of the little chestnut speed machine.

Producing his peak career performance at his first start here, the 6-1 Pacific Trader responded and nabbed the 36-1 Princess Rebel on the line to win by a short head in a time of 56,66 secs.

Anton Marcus got the 3yo Chimichuri Run into the race late

JC PHOTOS

Multiple SA champion Piere Strydom won the R1 million Gr1 Computaform Sprint for the fifth time this century when he rode a finely judged race to get the Cape raider Pacific Trader home for Brett Crawford under the lights at Turffontein on Saturday.

and he was just over a length back in third, with Yvette Bremner completing the quartet with longshot Quinlan sneaking into fourth.

Van Halen (4 lengths) and Trip To Heaven (4,25 lengths) ran decent races after losing the initiative at the start.

Piere Strydom, whose previous Computaform Sprint winners include JJ The Jet Plane (2008), Private Jet (2009), Shea Shea (2012) and Copper Parade (2014), pointed out in

the post-race interview that this race was won and lost at the start.

Trainer Brett Crawford, who was saddling his second Computaform Sprint winner after the outstanding Laisserfaire won in 2002, said that Pacific Trader didn’t do well in KZN last season.

“So this was always his mission after the Cape summer season and I must thank the owners, whose first Gr1 it was, as well as Mike and Mathew de Kock for accommodating my horses

from Wednesday,” he added.

Bred by Ascot Stud, Pacific Trader is by Sail From Seattle (Gone West) out of the Cape Cross mare, Agbalat – an unraced daughter of Irish Gr2 2000m winner Tarfshi (Mtoto).

He was bought for R150 000 by trainer Brett Crawford on the 2016 CTS Emperors Palace Select Yearling Sale and took his earnings with his first group victory to R967 313.

This was his fifth win and he has clocked up 4 places from 11 starts.

T Gr2 SA NURSERY Turffontein last Saturday

Gold For De Kock

T

Mike de Kock and Anton Marcus enjoyed a profitable Champions Day at Turffontein on Saturday and their run commenced with a courageous victory by the New Zealand bred Frosted Gold in the R750 000 Gr2 SA Nursery.

he good looking grey showed plenty of early speed behind his stablemate Battleoftrafalgar and his Protea Stakes conqueror Twilight Moon, from his inside draw.

At the 250m marker, Marcus buckled down and Frosted Gold went on too strongly to beat the obviously smart Twilight Moon by 1,50 lengths in a time of 67,26 secs.

The winner’s stablemate Battleoftrafalgar ran a terrific race and showed plenty of pace to finish an excellent third under two lengths off the winner. He should be well nigh impossible to back in the maiden ranks next time – unless

the stable decide to take their chances at Scottsville later this month.

A winner of 3 races with 1 place from 4 starts, Frosted Gold took his earnings to R642 500.

He was purchased by Form Bloodstock off the Blandford Lodge draft at the 2018 Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale for A$180 000.

He is by Vinery Stud’s All Too Hard, the Champion Three-Year-Old Colt in Australia in 2012/13 and a half-brother to Australia’s famous galloper Black Caviar. Frosted Gold is out of the Verglas mare Mary Dór – a winner in France and a full sister to Gr1 performer, Stormy River.

The Gr1 Champions Challenge was comparatively the fastest of the eight races around the turn. In the main the pace was an honest one, although it did slow somewhat on the bend and Hawwaam was far from fully extended over the final 400m.

The Gold Bowl was run at a very steady pace throughout, then developed into a sprint, recording the fastest time over the final 400m!

Four For Faith Gr2 SA FILLIES NURSERY Turffontein last Saturday Paul Matchett’s speedy Basadi Faith booked her Allan Robertson Championship berth at Scottsville later this month when she kept her perfect record intact, winning the R400 000 Gr2 SA Fillies Nursery at Turffontein on Saturday.

W

hile she stepped up a notch on Champions Day and didn’t have things as easy as she did in the Ruffian Stakes, the smart filly showed resolution and a dash too much speed when registering her biggest victory to date.

Devin Habib, who has been in the saddle at all her four victories, once again showed that he has plenty of ability and confidence when given the opportunities.

The young rider was unflustered in his handling of his favourite filly and produced a polished performance as Basadi Faith galloped on relentlessly to make it four wins from four starts, going on powerfully to beat the improved again Cavivar by 66,98 secs.

The previously unbeaten True To Life was 3,70 lengths back in third with the disappointing Gin Fizz running fourth.

Another good winner bred by Favour Stud, Basadi Faith was the second leg

of a weekend feature double for Varsfontein stallion Master Of My Fate.

A bargain R45 000 Cape April Yearling Sale graduate, the very smart 2yo took her earnings to R475 000 and looks to have a very bright future.

Return Flight (Anton Marcus) glides to an impressive victory

Gr2 GERALD ROSENBERG STAKES Turffontein last Saturday

Flight Star!

Last season’s Equus Champion Two Year Old Filly Return Flight continues to make giant strides and set herself up for a likely bid on the Woolavington 2000 at Greyville next month, when running out an easy winner of Saturday’s R500 000 Gr2 Gerald Rosenberg Stakes.

SEAN TARRY and Anton Marcus teamed up again after Piere Strydom deputised in Marcus’ absence at the Dubai World Cup for her courageous victory in last month’s SA Oaks.

Marcus rode a typically brave and confident race from the front and obviously knowing what he had under him, never panicked as he pushed the bargain buy out ahead of the chasing bunch up the long Turffontein home straight.

Return Flight stayed on relentlessly under a well judged ride to beat Insignis by 1,25 lengths in a time of 126,33 secs.

A R20 000 CTS 2017 March Yearling Sale buy by Chris Van Niekerk’s Rainbow Beach Trading, Return Flight was bred by Mike Sharkey and is out of the four-time winner Heading Home (Special Preview).

She has won 6 races with 4 places from 11 starts for impressive stakes earnings of R2 210 975.

Gr2 CAMELLIA STAKES Turffontein last Saturday

SA Fillies Sprint Next!

Var flyer Schippers soars home under Gavin Lerena

T

he first of these was the Geoff van Lear owned and bred 4yo Schippers, who really showed her class when accounting for a quality field of stakes winners to win the R400 000 Gr2 Camellia Stakes run over the 1160m straight.

Allowed to bowl just off the pace early on, Schippers finished with an electrifying burst to beat the smart Pathfork 3yo Mighty High by 2,50 lengths in a time 66,72 secs.

Green Plains and Pretty Penny completed the quartet.

On this performance, and based on her showings this season, Schippers looks a lively candidate for the Gr1 SA Fillies Sprint later this month.

She had previously tasted graded success when victorious in the 2018 Gr3 Magnolia Handicap.Bred and raced by Geoff van Lear, she is a daughter of our Leading Sire of 2yo’s in South Africa the past two years running, Var (Forest Wildcat) out of four-time winner Fair Rosalind (Count Dubois.

Schippers has won 6 races with 7 places from 15 starts for stakes of R870 950.

Gr3 GOLD BOWL Turffontein last Saturday Gavin Lerena and Geoff Woodruff grab their double as Sunshine Silk pegs back Dromedaris

Gold Cup On The Horizon

C

The Lerena-Woodruff team made it SA Champions Day feature number two when the very progressive Silvano filly Sunshine Silk stayed on powerfully to beat a solid field of stamina hardknockers in the R500 000 Gr3 Gold Bowl at Turffontein on Saturday.

ompleting a nice hat-trick of features after the Sun Chariot and Caradoc Gold Cup, Sunshine Silk has relished the step up in ground and showed resolve and courage when pegging back the perpetual motion machine Dromedaris late in the 3200m contest.

Gavin Lerena knows her well and timed the effort to perfection as Sunshine Silk beat the year older gelding by a convincing half length in a time of 215,44 secs.

Tirzan plodded into third a further 2,50 lengths back.

Sunshine Silk is likely to be targetted at

the Gold Cup – a race not won by a filly since Kannemeyer’s Colonial Girl way back in 2000.

Sunshine Silk was bred by Gold Star Stud from champion Silvano (Lomitas) out of the Al Mafti mare, Vanilla Silk.

She was purchased for R475 000 at the National Yearling Sale and took her stakes total to R926 200 with her sixth win and 12 places from 21 starts.

Bred on the same Silvano/Al Mufti cross as Gr1 winners Al Sahem, Bold Silvano and Kings Gambit, Sunshine Silk is an exciting player in our thin staying ranks

In a thrilling finish to the R500 000 Gr2 Drill Hall Stakes, the 2018 runner-up Undercover Agent made amends in gallant style when he rallied right back after leading most of the way to beat Sun Met winner Rainbow Bridge in a grandstand finish.

he traditional Vodacom Durban July starting point for many, Undercover Agent was returning after a 13 week break following his Sun Met fourth placed finish.

After going up to take his customary front-running role, where he was stalked by Cirillo, Lady In Black and Rainbow Bridge, Undercover Agent showed guts as he was headed by Cirillo at the 200m marker.

But Corne Orffer breathed deep for a final plunge and the 4yo colt showed his courage to hold off a flying Rainbow Bridge, who was switched in late.

At the line Undercover Agent held a neck advantage in a time of 83,39 secs. It was to be the start of a memorable weekend for Brett Crawford.

Cirillo, a 3yo in receipt of 5kgs, stayed on

doggedly for third cheque, a further 0,20 lengths back.

The good filly Lady In Black stayed on well for fourth.

A R325 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale graduate, Undercover Agent is a winner of 7 races with 5 places from 16 starts and stakes of a healthy R5 721 875.

Bred by Moutonshoek,whose first Gr1 winner he was when winning the Gold Challenge last term, the winner is a son of deceased champion Captain Al (Al Mufti) out of the twice winning Secret Risk (London News).

Undercover Agent looks likely to bid for the Gr1 Gold Challenge double, while the Rattrays will be pleased with Rainbow Bridge’s cracking run – his first in their famous red and white silks. The son of Ideal World is bound to shorten in the Vodacom Durban July betting.

What A Winner!

Summerveld trainer Tony Rivalland and jockey Sean Veale enjoyed the honour of winning the first feature of the SA Champions Season when the consistent On That Boulevard romped home to win the R150 000 Listed In Full Flight Handicap at Greyville on Friday evening.

In the keenly contested Bipot opener, the Gauteng raider Mardi Gras failed to quicken after being outpaced early and was well beaten into fourth.

Sean Veale rode a quietly confident race in the Mary Liley silks and showing a terrific turn of foot, On That Boulevard burst clear at the 250m marker to beat the late finishing Ishnana by 2,50 lengths in a time of 64,18 secs.

On That Boulevard, a former Mayfair Speculators owned galloper, has won 5 races with 5 places from 14 starts for stakes of R432 575.

Bred by Klawervlei Stud, On That Boulevard was originally purchased by Charles Laird for R900 000 off the 2016 Emperors Palace Select Yearling Sale.

He is by Trippi (End Sweep) out of the well performed Street Cry mare, Hollywoodboulevard.

The Rivalland yard has been in good form and this victory was a commendable achievement given the lightly raced 4yo’s history.

The Brett Crawford Racing Team crowned a memorable feature weekend when the What A Winter colt Armando proved too strong for his rivals and bounded clear to maintain his unbeaten record in the R150 000 Listed Somerset 1200 at Kenilwoth on Sunday.

With a Gr2 win at Greyville on Friday evening and a big Gr1 score by the speed merchant Pacific Trader at Turffontein on Saturday, Armando completed the run and only won a listed race – but caught the eye in the process.

Owned by Hong Kong interests, Armando started a hot order at 9-10 and duly confirmed his impressive Durbanville debut win last month with a facile win – albeit by just a length.

Jockey Corne Orffer said that the winner had plenty of improvement to come.

Brett Crawford, who had a busy weekend saddling winners out of a suitcase, thanked the owner and Tony Millard for the privilege of training a horse who could be headed East in time to come.

A R650 000 National Yearling Sale buy, Armando has won 2 from 2 and took his stakes earnings to R143 750.

Bred by Lammerskraal, the winner is a son of Equus champion What A Winter (Western Winter) out of the Yes It’s True mare, Big Mona.

The well-related Amy Johnson had Snaith Racing spokesman Jono Snaith speaking in terms of the Cape Fillies Guineas after her dashing last gasp win in the R150 000 Listed Perfect Promise Sprint at Kenilworth on Sunday.

An elated Susan Rowett of the champion nursery Varsfontein, was over the moon – although it was tight.

“We don’t normally keep them out of young mares, but we couldn’t repeat the mating with Captain Al so it worked out well! Although she looked like a little bush pony early on,” she laughed.

After following her six opponents for much of the race, Amy Johnson flew up the outside and got the verdict by a short head from Drama Queen in a time of 74,72 secs.

Richard Fourie labelled her ‘special’.

A winner of 1 race from 2 starts, Amy Johnson took her stakes earnings to R101 750.

A grey daughter of Captain Al, Amy Johnson is a three parts sister to Bela-Bela. She is out of the four-time winning Jet Master mare, Touch The Sky, who won up to 2200m. Touch The Sky is out of the prolific winner producer Mystic Spring, a daughter of Royal Academy.

Anton Marcus keeps Twist Of Fate gunning to beat National Park (Lyle Hewitson)

Gr2 KRA GUINEAS Greyville last Friday

A

Milnerton trainer Joey Ramsden signalled that he means business this SA Champions Season when he sent the top-class Master Of My Fate colt Twist Of Fate out in fighting trim to win the R600 000 Gr2 KRA Guineas at Greyville on Friday evening.

nton Marcus rode the hardknocking Favour Stud-bred model of pure consistency, who ran on powerfully late from his pole position draw to dispose of National Park – the

only horse ever to beat Hawwaam – by an unextended three quarters of a length in a time of 95,91 secs.

The favourite Soqrat, who ran from a very wide draw was left with too much to do, and ran on too late for fourth. Mike de Kock said

that he had now learnt his lesson as regards running horses from a wide draw on a ‘go-kart track like Greyville’.

In a terrific result for Varsfontein Stud, their Dynasty gelding Bunker Hunt ran an encouraging third behind sons of their topclass sires, Master Of My Fate and Gimmethegreenlight.

His sire’s very first winner, stakes winner and graded stakes winner, Twist Of Fate has now registered three group race victories, and a

meritorious runner-up claim in the Gr1 Cape Guineas.

Master Of My Fate enjoyed a great weekend as his unbeaten daughter Basadi Faith followed up 24 hours later in the Gr2 SA Fillies Nursery at Turffontein.

Joey Ramsden was over the moon with the bargain buy and commended the Varsfontein sire as well as his international owners, the River Palace Racing Syndicate.

“He is a lovely horse to work with and, while I wasn’t too happy

with the one draw, I would have preferred midfield, things worked out well. He’s as honest as the day is long and probably better over further.”

Owned by the River Palace Syndicate, Twist Of Fate is out of the twice winning Counter Action mare, Crescent Lily, a winner of the Listed Breeders Guineas at Fairview.

A R20 000 buy off the CTS March Yearling Sale, Twist Of Fate has won 6 races with 6 places from 13 starts for stakes of R2 212 850.

Gr2 KRA FILLIES GUINEAS Greyville last Friday Bernard Fayd’herbe has Santa Clara in front and galloping powerfully

C

Something of a stakes bridesmaid as a 2yo, the beautifully bred Santa Clara has blossomed as a 3yo on the East Coast and she took a giant leap for SA Champions Season recognition when powering home to win the Gr2 KRA Fillies Guineas at Greyville on Friday evening.

onsidered decent enough to take on the boys in the Cape Derby, Santa Clara looks to be maturing nicely at her temporary base at Summerveld.

Her big victory here came just weeks after her Umzimkhulu Stakes runnerup finish to Temple Grafin – on whom she firmly turned the tables here at level weights.

Running from an awkward draw, Santa Clara appeared quite green at her first start under the lights but relaxed maturely in the hands of Bernard Fayd’herbe as Gauteng challenger Running Brave set the fractions ahead of Silvano’s Pride and Celtic Sea. Into the home run, Santa Clara catapulted through to take up the running and was never headed.

At the line, Santa Clara held a 2,75 length advantage over Cape Fillies Guineas star Front And Center who made up lengths from her

Trainer Tobie Spies celebrated a cracking start to his SA Champions Season campaign at Greyville on Friday evening when the lightning fast Potala Palace filly Singforafa went all the way to beat her stablemate Me Time in the R200 000 Gr3 Strelitzia Stakes.

he daughter of Ridgemont Highlands’ massive value Singspiel sire Potala Palace, who is set to stand this season again for a fee of R5000, made it two wins from four starts when she burst away from her field under Craig Zackey to score at 10-1 by 1,25 lengths in a time of 65,92 secs.

Her more experienced stablemate Me Time made good late headway to hold off the Cape

raider and favourite Vandah’s Spirit, who had every chance.

Bred by NJ Swart from the thrice winning Whistling Wood mare First Whistle, the winner races in the silks of the trainer’s Grandson Xander Spies, who has proven a lucky owner.

She took her stakes earnings to R199 500 and was described by jockey Craig Zackey as one of the quickest fillies he has ridden.

Bred by Peter de Beyer, Freedom Charter is a daughter of Elusive Fort (Fort Wood) out of the once winning Captain Al mare, Betty Burke.

A R275 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale purchase, Freedom Charter has won 4 races with 8 places from 20 starts for stakes of R577 225.

Just a week after his stakes strike with a 1-2 in the Listed East Cape Nursery, Maine Chance stallion Vercingetorix produced his first graded winner in the shape of Dean Kannemeyer’s very smart African Warrior, who sustained an early forward effort to win the R200 000 Gr3 Godolphin Barb.

first feature winner for the DK Racing Syndicate, African Warrior started a weak 3-1 favourite and was last of the field of seven as they spun for home.

He ducked down the inside rail for his run and at the 200m nothing looked to be going better – until Master Of Illusion clicked what it was all about.

In a drive to the wire, the Kannemeyer galloper held on by a nose to beat Master Of Illusion in a time of 66,58 secs.

High Voltage was a half length away in third.

Jockey Keagan de Melo is riding with confidence, and admitted he may have had

made his move a moment early.

In an interesting move, and something not seen by many observers previously, Katie’s Treasure went to post without a jockey and also loaded without a rider. She ran last.

African Warrior was bred by Boland Stud and was astutely picked up for R100 000 at the KZN Yearling Sale. He is out of the onetime winning Jet Master mare, Allez Afrique.

African Warrior has now won 2 of his 3 starts for 1 place and stakes of R201 125.

Dean Kannemeyer lauded the merits of Vercingetorix and would have been thrilled to have broken the SA Champions Season ice so early!

Government Wanted Durbanville Cancelled

K

The cancellation of Wednesday’s Election Day racemeeting at Durbanville has evoked plenty of reaction from the public and stakeholders.

enilworth Racing Chairman Robert Bloomberg issued a statement on Monday in order to clarify the situation.

He wrote: Due to all sorts of innuendos and falsities flying around, it is incumbent upon me to set the record straight.

Following the protest action at Turffontein on Saturday, I wrote to management expressing for a variety of reasons my concerns about the scheduled meeting at Durbanville on Wednesday in the main pertaining to possible accusations of “white elitism” and “racism” being levied at us, particularly as there is a DA administered government in the WC. Whilst this was a personal viewpoint given in my capacity as co-chair of KR and whilst others had previously raised concerns weeks ago about racing, I must emphasize that this was not a KR decision, nor did KR or I, cancel the meeting.

That decision was taken

by Patrick Davis, who I did not personally discuss the matter with, in his capacity as Racing Executive Director of Phumelela who manage WC racing.

I will also add, that following my mail and unsolicited, I received a mail the following day from the Minister of Economic Opportunities in the WC government, requesting that the meeting be cancelled which vindicated my concerns echoed.

Whilst I fully understand the anger from local owners and trainers alike which I will take on the chin, I have always only attempted to assist WC racing and have always gone the extra mile and beyond. However, the bigger picture here was of paramount importance to me.

We may not have had issues racing at past elections, but that was pre-Markus Jooste/Steinhoff happenings and the EFF have been very vocal in their condemnation of racing. It must not be lost sight of that we are presently in discussions here with WCGRB and government seeking assistance for a company in a parlous financial predicament.

Robert Bloomberg Right now, and particularly in the light of recent Public Protector reports, we are treading on very thin ice with government as it is.

Had it been up to me, I would have postponed the Durbanville meeting to Saturday when we aren’t racing. But as Patrick has explained, due to the Turffontein meeting being substituted for the Durbanville meeting, this would necessitate an extra meeting being put on which makes no economic sense bearing in mind KR’s dire financial position and the challenges that PGL faces.

The 8 ‘lost’ races will however, he added back at future WC meetings.

At the Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association Annual General Meeting held on Tuesday, 23 April 2019, it was agreed that an additional Breeder Foal Levy will be charged on all initial foal registrations to assist with the funding of SA Equine Health and Protocols NPC (SAEHP), in order to obtain direct export approval through the European Union.

THIS FEE will be levied on all 2018 foals onwards.

Breeders who have already paid the 2018 foal fees are required to pay the shortfall amount of R1 150 (VAT incl) per foal, in order for passports to be issued.

These invoices were forwarded to the respective breeders on 6 May 2019 Registration of a 2018 foal – R 3 138 NHA Admin and Passport Fee – R 318 Foal Identification Fee – R 792 Foal Levy for Equine Research – R 878** Contribution to SAEHP – R 1 150** ** TBA Breeder Levy (R2 028) Breeder levy enquiries can be directed to Catherine Hartley catherine@tba.co.za.

Groom Protest Sequel Hawwaam Goodbye To A Legend Stays A 121

T

The 87-year old former dual SA Champion Trainer Ormond Ferraris, upset and severely stressed by the grooms’ actions at Turffontein on Saturday, had to be taken to hospital for a check-up and observation when his staff decided to desert the yard around 4am in the morning.

urf Talk reports that a legend of the training ranks, Ferraris, who has served the horseracing industry with great distinction for 70 years, said that trainers at Turffontein were aware of the pending strike on Friday. “I arranged with my 20 grooms to come to work Saturday at 3am, an hour earlier, so they could attend their meeting which was scheduled for 5am.

“All I wanted them to do was the bedding, and to feed and water the horses. Just a few came along at three but soon disappeared leaving me and my Head Lad of 40 years, John Sibeko, to get by on our own.

I was distressed, they had to take me to the Union Clinic but I am feeling better now. This is it, this is the third protest action of this nature we’ve had to endure recently and I am not prepared to put up with this any longer. I am out.”

Ferraris said that there were “troublemakers” in the grooms’ ranks who have stirred up the rest with a variety of demands, including higher wages and for an office to be allocated to one of their faction officials at Turffontein.

“I would love to pay the grooms what they want, big salaries, but it is simply not possible. The sport of

racing cannot contain this. The costs of feeding and training horses today are astronomical and stakes haven’t increased in proportion to the high expenses. The few millionaires in racing can afford it, but I fear for the middle man, the smaller owner. This kind of pressure is going to hit them and the smaller stables the hardest.

They are battling to feed themselves, let alone their horses. There is just no way they can survive!” he told Turf Talk.

His son David Ferraris, a trainer in Hong Kong added: “I am horrified by what is going on. I spent R25million at the SA Sales the last two years and to see how people are trying to bring the industry to its knees is disturbing. I hope these matters are addressed fast.”

Mike De Kock agreed, saying: “There are agitators among the grooms who do not realise the damage they are doing. Soon, 20 of their colleagues will be unemployed and then unemployable in current circumstances. They’ll be a burden to society.

“There are transformation issues to be addressed, but we’ve already dug deep and made significant progress. The agitators don’t realise that racehorse owners lose R600million per year in racing. They race

for pleasure, achievements and the dream of owning a champion horse.

They accept their losses while the industry employs tens of thousands of people on the back of their investments.

“If this type of unrest continues, we are going to have serious problems in SA racing. Owners are going to stop and say, ‘We don’t need this, we want to race and watch our horses in peace and we want our investments protected.’ If the big owners call it a day, we’ll see a major collapse.”

De Kock feels that security is a “soft spot” for agitators and that the matter should be given urgent attention.

“Whenever a situation like this arises, the security officers are the first to run away. They are not sighted.

There is expensive horseflesh stabled at the training centres and courses and we need to take preventative measures before the horses are hurt.

There were several intoxicated and unruly elements among the strikers on Saturday, there always are. They should be stopped before they can cause injury to others or hurt horses.”

Phumelela’s Racing Executive, Patrick Davis, said that Saturday’s strike had nothing to do with the racing operator. “We are not going to comment on the matter at this stage, it happened as a result of friction between grooms’ factions. We will, however, be issuing a statement in the course of next week.”

Vee Moodley, CEO of the National Horseracing Authority, said that he, too, preferred not to comment at this point.

HAWWAAM’s rating of 121 remains unchanged in the wake of the three-year-old’s comprehensive defeat of older rivals in the Grade 1 Premier’s Champion Challenge over 2000m at Turffontein on Saturday, 4 May 2019. The Handicappers were unanimous in their belief that runner-up CASCAPEDIA was the correct line horse to use in rating the race and as such her rating also remains untouched on 107.

HAWWAAM ran to a 120 using this method to rate the race, but again the Handicappers were united in their belief that he should retain the 121 rating he took into the race, which marked the first time he had ventured outside of his own age group in feature race company.

Third placed DIVINE ODYSSEY continues his rich vein of recent form and the Handicappers had no hesitation in raising his rating from 105 to the achieved 111, whereas in contrast fourth placed LEGAL EAGLE was given a small drop from 118 to 116.

Fifth placed DARK MOON RISING went up from 105 to 106, but no changes were made to any of the others in the 13 runner field.

PACIFIC TRADER’s rating was increased from 112 to 115 after he nabbed the flying filly PRINCESS REBEL in the last stride to win the Grade 1 Computaform Sprint over 1000m. Here, it was felt by all the Handicappers that third placed CHIMICHURI RUN was the appropriate line horse to use, so his rating remains

unchanged while PRINCESS REBEL was raised from 107 to her achieved 109.

Fourth placed QUINLAN gives all the indications of being a 1000m “specialist” and was raised from 105 to 111 (which keeps him in line with SEARCH PARTY, who finished 0.30 lengths behind him and who remains on 110), while fifth placed PALACE CHAPEL goes up from 99 to 108.

In other changes, SPEEDPOINT was dropped from 114 to 111, REBEL’S CHAMP goes down from 114 to 112, last year’s winner ATTENBOROUGH was trimmed from 107 to 106, and BULL VALLEY was dropped from 116 to 113 despite finishing lame as per the Veterinary Surgeon’s report. This report notwithstanding, it was felt that some adjustment needed to be made to BULL VALLEY’s rating and he was essentially dropped for the time being to a mark which is one pound lower than that of the race winner.

Greg Ennion

An institution in Cape racing for longer than most of us care to remember, the 70 year old Greg ‘Genuine’ Ennion travels up the Garden Route on Thursday to raid the East Cape Derby at Fairview on Saturday with his good staying 3yo, Cedar Man.

A

n ‘old beebopper’, in his own words, the energetic septuagenarian speaks enthusiastically about his plans for the Hemel ‘n Aarde Stud-bred Pomodoro 3yo, who, like his greying boss, has been a model of consistency over testing trips.

“He’s a lovely horse and was a touch unlucky to run second at his last two starts. He was a little green and hesitated late in the running. He ran second in the Kenilworth Cup and was fourth behind Snaith’s older hardknocker Magnificent Seven in the Western Cape Stayers. I rate him and in the staying ranks one always has a shout. I think he and Brett Crawford’s St Vladimir are the pair to beat. And the Cape raiders have historically done well in this race.”

And the first time on the righthanded track?

“That doesn’t worry me. We work right-handed on the cinders here at Milnerton anyway. By the way, he worked like a jet on Monday.

Very encouraging!”

Asked about his plans for Cedar Man, Greg says that he is looking ahead to the R1,25 million Gold Cup at Greyville on 27 July.

Greg had one previous Gold Cup runner in the top-class Sangria Girl, who ran a cracker when finishing fifth behind Ancestral Fore in 2010 after being cut into and almost severing a tendon.

“Look, if I wasn’t intending going on to Durban on Monday with him, I probably wouldn’t have raided the Fairview feature. I take my hat off to the likes of the Snaiths and Kotzens and the other guys who do it with regularity. It costs a lot of money – about R20 000 - entails 14 days in quarantine, then there are bloods that have to be taken and the horse is out of work. Maybe I’m getting grumpy, but that is a lot of rigmarole!” he laughs.

Cedar Man is likely to have a prep start at Greyville in the Gold Vase – the same route taken by It’s My Turn last season. He may also ship the stakes placed CTS 1200 runner-up Elusive Trader up to KZN. The conversation turns inevitable state of racing.

to

the

“It’s the worst I have ever experienced things. We are in dire straits here in the Cape. There are probably 400 boxes standing vacant just here at Milnerton. I blame the programmers as a start. We have been talking for years.

Nobody listens. We need lower-rated MR Handicaps here. The empty boxes used to be occupied by those mediocre horses who have emigrated to PE, Durban and Joburg, where they are properly catered for. Even my good client Braam van Huyssteen is focussing his string in the Eastern Cape. Owners pay the bills – who can blame them?”

Greg, who is assisted by Roderick Fredericks – whom he labels a very accomplished workrider - says that his own string is down to 20 horses. While he has some nice young horses, he is still paying for his 20 vacant boxes.

“I have more smaller owners these days, although the likes of Marsh Shirtliff and Bryn Ressell have maintained their loyal support.

I have some decent unraced horses. Hidden Strings ran in the Listed Perfect Promise on Sunday. She raced a bit freely up-front and burnt up unnecessary energy. She

finished fifth. Don’t write her off – she’s a nice sort.”

On the topical question of grooms and staff problems, Greg says he has never had any issues.

“I have had the same team with me for the past 25 years. They work hard and get the job done. I believe in sorting out issues when they arise – we communicate readily and I think we sometimes forget that respect is a two-way street. If you demand and expect it, then you should be prepared to give it.”

With horses and music his passion, Greg, a talented rock ‘n roll singer, still does gigs on invitation and says it’s a great outlet for life’s everyday frustrations and stresses.

Always known as a top conditioner of a stayer, Greg was

tagged ‘Genuine’ by the charismatic Marsh Shirtliff thirty years ago when he was the first trainer for the Motor Insurance tycoon.

an owner-trainer’s license which you could still do in those days, and that was his entrance ticket into racing.

Greg’s grandfather, George Ennion was a trainer and a farrier in the early 1900’s and his father started out as an apprentice jockey, but didn’t go through with it. Dad became the South African representative for Black & White Whiskey, which is where the famous Ennion silks originated.

His first horse was called Galilee.

Greg was a journalist for the first half of his professional life, working for a motoring magazine, and for SA Associated Newspapers.

The young journalist got involved in Cape Hunt racing. “Lionel Witkowsky taught me to ride short on a sack of oats with a pair of reins tied to a chaff cutter,” he reminisces.

“I became the leading rider in the Cape Hunt. In fact, the rest of the guys signed a petition against me for being too professional. I used to get up at 4am and go and ride work for guys like Lionel Witkowsky, Johnny Cawcutt, Lesley Cawcutt, Terence D’Arcy, Baby Killa - all those guys. I rode 6 winners on a card once,” he recalls proudly.

After being banned from Cape Hunt racing he took out

“I bought him for R500 as a one-time winner. He was a full brother to Ocean City and I won 8 races over ground with him. I had another good horse called Symbolize that I bought as a 5yo for R3 000. He was by Brer Rabbit and had been campaigning over sprint distances. I put him over 2000m and won 9 features with him. He won the Ralph Price Handicap over 2000m at Milnerton and broke the course record. He won the Syd Garrett and broke Occult’s unbeaten streak when downing him in the Appeal Court Handicap. He also ran 5th in the Met. He was drawn wide and raced wide and was only 3 lengths off Wild West at the finish – it was only the draw that beat him. His next start after the Met, he won the Milnerton Administrator’s Trophy beating Shu Shine Boy and then went to Joburg for the Sun International.

Gary Alexander helped me and he dead-heated for 5th with Mauritzfontein. Freddie Macaskill rode him for me that day.”

His foundation patrons were the likes of Giuseppe Mercorio, Wouter Brink and Fred and Mariaane Ilze who owned Model School.

She won the Gr1 Paddock Stakes and was Model Man’s first Gr1 winner. Greg trained her 3-parts brother too – Dramdor. He was a good stayer and I won 8 races with him, including the Gr3 Abe Bloomberg Handicap.

Greg is married to Nazley Heuvel and lives on the West Coast.

“Naz worked for the turf club and used to do the cheques after races – that’s how we met.

We’ve been together a long time and she’s a wonderful person.”

He’s 70 retirement?

Only In Africa?

With the Asian Racing Conference just 9 months away, we need to start getting our house in order. An excerpt from Saturday’s Champions Day stipes report: “During the race, two Phumelela staff members ran across the course whilst fleeing from protesting grooms who had invaded the course.

Although the field was advancing, no horses were affected by this incident.”

Go-Karts Galore Mike de Kock’s powerful owner Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum of Dubai recovered a chunk of the R17-million he spent at the recent National Yearling Sale when his rising star Hawwaam posted a sensational win in the Gr1 Premier Champions Challenge on Saturday. Hawwaam and stable companion Soqrat will be entered for the Gr1 Gold Challenge, the Gr1 Champions Cup and the Gr1 Daily News. Mike said:“We’ll be looking at the draws. Greyville has become a go-kart track. We made a mistake racing Soqrat from a wide draw in the KZN Guineas on Friday and we won’t make the same mistake again.”

UNBIASED Champions Day was a success for the De Kock team with Frosted Gold’s win in the Gr2 SA Nursery a first feature success out of the yard for Durbanbased owner Dave MacLean.

“Dave gave us the go-ahead to buy one horse at the 2018 Inglis Melbourne Yearling Sale and Jehan Malherbe and I found this one. Frosted Gold’s sire All Too Hard has gone a bit quiet, but he’s a hard-knocking horse with a Gr2 under his belt now, and he has a future” said Mike who added that Frosted Gold would possibly go for the Gr1 Tsogo Sun Gold Medallion at Scottsville at the end of May - but that he will stay at home if there is a track bias. “I’m not sure how many more runs we’ll give him as a two-year-old.”

Ernie – Who Else?

First Dance

Yulong Investments, who bought Surcharge – now Yulong Prince - out of the Stuart Pettigrew yard last year, enjoyed their first South African winner courtesy of the Mike de Kock-trained Stage Dance, who won a Maiden Juvenile Plate over 1600m under jockey Collen Storey on Champions Day.

SILVANO TREBLE Maine Chance Farms’ multiple champion sire Silvano enjoyed a Super Saturday at Turffontein on Champions Day, with his progeny winning three of the 12 races carded.

Silvano’s Turffontein treble was highlighted by a brilliant display by Hawwaam, who romped to a facile four length score in the Gr1 Premier’s Champions Challenge. He is a second Champions Challenge winner for Silvano, whose July winning son Heavy Metal won the race back in 2013. Silvano also produced Gr3 Gold Bowl winner Sunshine Silk. His third success came when his 2yo son Tree Tumbo got off the mark when romping home over 1600m for trainer Sean Tarry.

Silvano, whose own sister Shina is the dam of Friday’s Gr2 KRA Fillies Guineas winner Santa Clara, has also made waves as a sire of sires this season, with his Equus Champion Vercingetorix currently South Africa’s Leading First Crop Sire for 2018-2019.

No Barriers The often maligned KZN Barrier Trials received some positive media this weekend with the news that 10 horses have left the Ormond Ferraris yard for Durban. They are owned by Hong Kong Syndicates who apparently want to see their runners in barrier trials. The owners chose Summerveld based Garth Puller from a list of KZN trainers.

Just hours after his sister Freedom Charter won the Gr3 Poinsettia Stakes at Greyville, former Cape based 2016 Sophomore Sprint winner Ernie broke the Champ de Mars 1450m record in Mauritius on Saturday. He clocked 1 m 27,53 secs.

This was Ernie’s fourth victory since arriving on the island in 2017. He is trained

by Jean Michel Henry and was piloted by Cédric Ségeon. Ernie was purchased by Mike Bass Racing for just R80 000 on the 2014 CTS March Yearling Sale and is a second crop son of Fort Wood stallion Elusive Fort out of the one-time winning Captain Al mare, Betty Burke.

Time Flies

Start putting that outfit together!

Monday 13 May hails the first declaration stage for the R4,25 million Gr1 Vodacom Durban July. The race is run on 6 July.

Online The catalogues for both the 2019 Cape Mare & Weanling Sale and the Moutonshoek Dispersal Sale are available in hard copy and live online and can be viewed at www. bsa.co.za. 173 lots have been catalogued for the Cape Mare and Weanling Sale at the Mistico Equestrian Centre on 21 May. Moutonshoek will hold their dispersal sale at the farm two days later, with 180 horses catalogued on the auction.

ut they say a change is as good as a holiday and it’s fair to say, I needed a break. They also say if you don’t risk the unusual, you settle for the ordinary. As it was coming up to FWD Champions Day, Tuesday, 24 April saw me landing at Hong Kong International muttering carpe diem under my breath.

After checking into my hotel spitting distance from the Hong Kong Jockey Club, the first port of call (after the Hong Kong institution that is the Grand Hyatt, of course) - the HKJC’s famous Happy Wednesday experience at Happy Valley.

We arrived early, to allow me to take in the setting, get my bearings and watch the sunset paint the skyscrapers all kinds of beautiful before the city lights took over. We raced from Adrenaline, one of several hospitality options, overlooking the track. The band – who only play together at Adrenaline - were setting up, so there was time to chat and get to know lead vocalists Jennifer Palor and Kel – plus personalised advice from Jennifer Cheung and racing specialist, Winnie Shum to make sure I had everything I needed.

It’s always fun to see old friends in new places and it was great to catch up with former NHA Chief Vet Eugene Reynders (now stationed at Conghua) and jockeys Chad Schofield, Karis Teetan, Grant van Niekerk and Tshwaro Appie visiting for the evening en route to his new job in Macau. It was my first opportunity to see the likes of Zac Purton, riding with tremendous confidence and composure (sitting on the world’s best does that for you!) who posted a treble on the night, as well as ‘Magic Man’ Joao Moreira. The Beer Garden was buzzing with their Korean night and it was staggering to learn that they see a crowd of around 16,000 through the doors for a mid-week meeting. I had a quick peek at their merchandise stand and not only can you get a plushie, you can even have them personalised with a name of your choice! Finally, to round off the evening, HKJC CEO Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges joined us for a post-race drink and chat about the Yearling Sale results, the R9 million sales topper and their purchase out of Cherry On The Top.

Meeting place If you hang around long enough, one seems to meet EVERYONE in Hong Kong. People seem to gravitate towards the Grand Hyatt’s

”Hong Kong will give you goose bumps.” The declara�on came ma�er -of-factly, in between bites of the excellent Hainan Chicken at the Hya�’s Grand Café, by Hans Ebert, former Racing B*tch, maestro of Happy Wednesday and long-�me Hong Kong local.

“It’s the most sophis�cated and interna�onal city in the world.” Rather than being reassuring, these are words to strike fear into the heart of a South African ‘plaasjaapie’ who is happiest covered in horse hair and associated detritus!

Champagne bar and my highlights reel included racing legend Brent ‘The Babe’ Thomson (four time winner of the Cox Plate and now part of NZ Bloodstock), Hugh Bowman, the connections of HK Sprint hopeful, Viddora, and the crew from Magic Millions.

A media outing to Sha Tin track work on Saturday morning, delivered Perth Racing Chairman Colin Brown and CEO John Yovich and a chance to shake Joao Moreira by the hand. Oh – and to watch the international horses put through their paces, of course!

Amphitheatre of dreams After the relative tranquillity of Saturday morning, Champions Day with new headline sponsor FWD, saw Sha Tin transformed with red carpets and velvet rope parties and cars and crowds wherever you looked (a queue to get into the racecourse? How marvelous!). My friend Jennifer from Happy Wednesday met me at the door to deliver badges and brochures and I was all set for the day.

The Sha Tin air is thick with South African racing memories. It has been the site for some of our greatest international triumphs starting with London News smashing the track record in the 1997 QEII, all the way through J J The Jet Plane in the 2010 Cathay Pacific Sprint, to Variety Club wiping the floor with the 2014 Hong Kong mile field. And our jockeys have left an equally large legacy. To single out just a few, Felix Coetzee and Silent Witness were Hong Kong legends and Bartie Leisher, Basil Marcus and Robbie Fradd graced the Champion Jockey roster before the 13 year ‘Whyte-wash’ by Douglas from 20012014. Hallowed ground indeed.

Pausing by the parade ring, I made the acquaintance of a Japanese racing fan. Despite our language difficulties (although his English was a lot better than my Japanese!), I established that he had come specially to support Lys Gracieaux.

I confessed my allegiance to the gorgeous Win Bright, we traded smiles and racing mementos and parted friends.

World’s Best Horses, World’s Best Races With a card boasting four of the current top 10 World’s Best racehorses in Beauty Generation, Santa Ana Lane, Exultant and Beat The Clock, three of the top 10 jockeys in Oisin Murphy, Hugh Bowman and Zac Purton, as well as Japanese hero Yutaka Take and fan favourite ‘Magic Man’ Joao Moreira, FWD Champion’s Day lived up to its billing.

My racing venue for the day was the Hay Market restaurant on the second floor of the public stand and was quite simply unbelievable.

Designed by one of Hong Kong’s top young talents, the venue is as beautiful as it is user friendly. From the food, to the table location to the complimentary iPads pre-loaded with all the day’s racing information, Blue Lee and his team could not have been more attentive. My friend Winnie arrived to guide us through the iPad functions and our form study options as well as giving us a tour to the parade ring and taking us to watch a race from the finish line.

The crowds were fantastic and they were everywhere – poring over their form guides, packing the stands around the parade ring as well as vocally shouting their horses home.

Top Drawer The Chairman’s Sprint Prize was a tactical affair, with Chad Schofield jumping Rattan out smartly to overcome their 8 draw and lead from the rail. Yutaka Take followed the same line, placing Nac Venus on Rattan’s left flank, while Little Giant tracked Rattan on the rail with Moreira slotting Beat The Clock on his outside.

Santa Ana Lane was less lucky - with a wall of horses between them and the front runners, Hugh Bowman settled his horse and bided his time.

With Chad sending Rattan for home coming out of the bend, the rest of the field had to commit. Vincent Ho and Little Giant kept close order in his slipstream, Moreira pulled outside of Nac Venus to give chase and with the front runners getting away and no

gaps in sight, Hugh was out of options on the favourite. He aimed wide and pressed the button. A flying Beat The Clock got his head in front at the 50m mark, with Rattan gritting his teeth to keep second, Little Giant sticking his neck between the two and having clawed his way to within 2.25 lengths, the post came just too soon for the courageous Santa Ana Lane who had to settle for fourth.

Beauty Domination Next up was the FWD Champions Mile. I was curious to see what the World No 1 looked like in the flesh and with his pink blinkers, Beauty Generation cut a distinctive figure on parade. However, his raw power can only be fully appreciated in motion and it is, quite simply, relentless. I can say without fear of contradiction that he is the most powerful galloper I’ve seen and Zac Purton had to do little more than stay on his horse to collect a second Champions Mile trophy.

There will always be a debate as to how greatness is measured and despite the murmurs that he has merely been beating the same opposition, Beauty Generation’s achievements are beyond dispute. He is the only horse to achieve 8 wins in a single Hong Kong season and having banked HK$84,770,000 to date, has replaced Viva Pataca as Hong Kong’s all-time leading money earner.

Most pleasing for me is the gloss it adds to Singapore Sling’s second place finish, particularly as the mile is on the sharp side for him. Well done, Team SA!

Glory for Japan My standout highlight of the day was the FWD QEII Cup. Not only was the first and third result a huge feather in the cap for Japanese breeding, jockey Matsami Matsuoka and trainer Yoshihiro Hatakeyama deserve an avalanche of praise for a raiding masterclass. Not only did they win at their first attempt at Sha Tin, they smashed the track record in the process. Win Bright may be a high quality individual, but is clearly the product of expert handling, and

Matsuoka deserves singling out for a beautifully judged ride - the handshake from Oisin Murphy just after the line spoke volumes.

It was a feat of sporting endeavour and the unbridled joy of the postrace celebrations show-cased the shining best of why we pursue this crazy sport. With the racing treadmill occasionally lapsing into the monotonous and predictable, it was good to be reminded.

It was a thrill to join the Millards in the parade ring for the last and support SA runners Cot Campbell, Graceandmercy (formerly Monks Hood) and Seerite Dragon (formerly Seerite) on their Hong Kong debuts.

Although none earned a tour of the winner’s enclosure this time round, Grant van Niekerk scored for the home team, flying from the clouds to take the laurels and close the meeting on Flying Thunder. Nice one!

There was just time to take in one more Happy Valley meeting on Wednesday and it was a proudly South African moment watching Aldo Domeyer make a statement debut with two winners from three rides for Tony Millard. Grant van Niekerk also struck with a long shot, bringing the SA tally to 3 – not a bad haul for the notoriously tricky track.

It was a festive party, including proud dad Andrew Fortune, that left Happy Valley on Wednesday night.

Debrief Racing in Hong Kong is at the top of any fan’s bucket list for a reason. It’s good. It’s very good.

And never more so than during the big meetings like Champions Day. But what makes it really special is all the things that go around it - the long lunches at the Grand Café, the drinks at the Champagne bar, old friends and memories revisited and new ones made.

I saw Tony Cruz in the flesh, shook Joao Moreira by the hand, had Brent Thomson as my personal City guide, and watched legends born at Sha Tin. I saw barrier trials, had a tour of David Ferraris' Olympic Stables and met a real life Pikachu. But perhaps my favourite moment was one shared with my new friend Winnie - a South African and a Canadian, standing side by side on the Sha Tin steps, watching a horse race.

Despite worrying that I might be a fish out of water in one of the most exotic cities in the world, it seems the waters of Victoria Harbour have room for everyone after all.

Cheers, Hong Kong. And thanks for the goose bumps.

Favourite Life Of O’Brien!

Trumped

By Longshot

T

The horse that crossed the finish line first in Saturday’s Kentucky Derby, favourite Maximum Security, was disqualified for interfering with other horses after stewards ruled that he left his lane and cut off another horse.

he victory was ultimately given to race longshot Country House, the horse that crossed the finish line second.

President Donald Trump attributed this historic overturn to “political correctness.”

“The Kentuky (sic) Derby decision was not a good one,” Trump said in a Sunday morning tweet. “It was a rough and tumble race on a wet and sloppy track, actually, a beautiful thing to watch. Only in these days of political correctness could such an overturn occur. The best horse did NOT win the Kentucky Derby – not even close!”

150 000 People USA Today reports that perhaps the most amazing part of horse racing’s decline into relative obscurity among major American sports is that it manages to still pack 150 000 people into Churchill Downs every year for the world’s biggest party on the first Saturday in May. It happens rain or shine, no matter how much they jack up ticket prices, regardless of how many $15 mint juleps it takes to get a comfortable buzz.

And it only grows like that year after year apart from the sport’s typical sinkage for one reason — the Kentucky Derby is special.

Every now and then, the best horse in the Derby doesn’t win. It should never be robbed.

The history books will say that long shot Country House was the 145th Kentucky Derby winner on Saturday. But anyone who watched and remembers the race years from now will know that Country House was little more than the recipient of an egregious decision by the racing stewards at Churchill Downs, who disqualified the horse that finished under the wire first and was much the best running 1-1/4 miles around the famed oval.

Controversial That horse was Maximum Security, and now he’s the poster boy of the biggest controversy in the history of American horse racing — an outcome horse racing didn’t need amidst a months-long public relations debacle resulting from 23 horse fatalities in California over the winter, and,

T

Hermosa, considered the third string for trainer Aidan O’Brien by many, made every yard to win the Qipco 1000 Guineas Stakes, the first fillies’ Classic of the UK and Irish Flat racing season.

he victory came a day after O’Brien-trained Magna Grecia won the 2000 Guineas for colts – giving the Irish master trainer an uncommon Newmarket double.

Sporting the second colours of Michael Tabor, Hermosa, who was supported into 14-1 from an early show of 25-1, made virtually all the running in the smaller far-side

group to win under jockey Wayne Lordan.

Lady Kaya, who set the pace in the nearside group, finished second for trainer Sheila Lavery, while 7-2 favourite Qabala did the best of those coming from off the pace to finish third.

Lordan said: “She’s a good filly and was competing at Group 1 level last year, including taking on the colts. She likes to bowl along

and saves a little bit. When they came to me she battled well.

“She’s a beautiful filly by the right sire and finds plenty. It was good.”

Lady Kaya looked the winner for a long way but perhaps did not stay the final 200m as well as the eventual winner.

Owner Joanne Lavery said about her runner-up’s effort: “She’s got so much heart and she puts everything out there.

It’s unbelievable. She’s done us proud and it feels like we’ve won.”

Hermosa was cut to 7-1 (from 25) for the Investec Oaks by Paddy Power.

Striker’s Waiting Game Country House frankly, wasn’t warranted under the circumstances of the race.

Then, about 2 1/2 hours after the race, the three people who made that decision didn’t even bother to defend it. Instead, they chose the gutless route by reading a prepared statement in the media center at Churchill Downs and refusing to answer questions about the biggest overturned result in the history of the sport.

“They’ll be talking about the result of this race from now until they run the next Kentucky Derby and the next 10 Kentucky Derbys and the next 20 Kentucky Derbys,” said Bill Mott, the trainer of Country House. “There’s always a lot of controversy in this sport, and we’re probably going to be involved in it from now on, but you know, I’m going to take it.”

Don’t blame Mott for thinking that justice was done by taking down Maximum Security and placing him 17th due to an incident halfway around the final turn that compromised the chances of the two horses who were racing between Maximum Security and Country House. Mott, like every trainer who has been successful in this business, has been on both sides of these situations dozens of times. For him, it’s just part of the business.

But there’s a reason the Derby, which is always a roughly run race with plenty of bumping and jostling throughout, has never had a winner disqualified due to interference: Unless the foul was egregious enough to clearly change the result, the horse that finished first under the wire should stand.

That standard wasn’t met on Saturday. Not by a wide margin.

– In 17TH Place!

Following a drama filled Kentucky Derby on Saturday, South Africa’s leading bookmakers Hollywood paid all straight winning bets out on the favourite Maximum Security.

Maximum Security crossed the line first but was placed 17th by the stewards after being disqualified for interference and stripped of his title.

Multiple past SA champion jockey Piere Strydom produced his vintage skills from the saddle and entertained the enthusiastic Gins ‘n Roses crowd at Turffontein on Saturday to some serious world-class race riding to win the Gr1 Computaform Sprint on Cape raider, Pacific Trader.

ast approaching his midfifties, Strydom gave the top class young gun and reigning SA Champion Lyle Hewitson a bit of a surprise when he appeared with a powerful surge in the final stride to snatch victory from Princess Rebel.

The top jock, disillusioned with a lack of support from local trainers, was recently granted clearance from the Mauritius Turf Club to take up a contract with the Rameshwar Gujadhur yard. He is now sitting in limbo awaiting formal authority to pack his tooth-brush in to his suitcase and head to OR Tambo.

“I haven’t heard anything further, so I am waiting. But life goes on. The bills don’t stop and we have to earn a living,” he laughed when talking to the Sporting Post on Tuesday.

“You know, it’s quite a performance.

There is paperwork, medicals, x-rays, NHA clearance, approval from the Prime Minister - and the rest. My side is all done and dusted and the MTC have given me the green light.

So now it’s a case of waiting – and waiting – but I’m taking rides and carrying on as normal.”

He said that he accepted his Champions Day rides with a firm commitment to fulfil them. He also added that things had looked up a bit with a touch more support from owners and trainers since he went public.

“I think some guys may hesitate as I’m probably not going to be able to stick with the ride – especially if it’s a horse with a feature programme. I notice I didn’t get the nod again for Return Flight in the

Gerald Rosenberg. But we take what we can and life goes on,” he said philosophically.

Thirty seven years since he rode his first winner, Striker felt his career flagging and some professional boredom setting in, riding at the same Highveld tracks three times a week, every week. That’s what initiated the Mauritius adventure.

He intends to call it a day in 2021.

He has only ever ridden in Mauritius in the international races at the end of their season.

“I really hope it comes together.

The track is tight and fast.

The horses racing there are all experienced though. The racing is exciting – there’s an atmosphere too. And the stable has the likes of the talented White River and Nebula. So we have the capacity to be very competitive.”

He said that his sons would be staying with his ex-wife but would be coming out to visit him.

“I’d love to have taken them with.

But they’re at school and I don’t want to disrupt things and set them back.”

Let’s Break The Boring!

Godolphin trainer Charlie Appleby is hoping to be able to upset the Coolmore hegemony in the British Classics, believing rival conditioner Aidan O’Brien’s continued dominance in the three-year-old division could lead to racing becoming ‘a bit boring’.

n winning the Investec Derby last year with Masar, Appleby stands out as one of only three trainers – along with Richard Hannon and John Gosden – to have deprived O’Brien in the last 12 Classics run in Britain.

O’Brien was triumphant again at Newmarket over the weekend when he won the 2000 Guineas with Magna Grecia and the 1000 Guineas with Hermosa, and Appleby likened the situation to that of Manchester United during the reign of Sir Alex Ferguson.

He said: “What you don’t want is for [racing]to be like it was a few years ago with Manchester United when they were winning

everything and it got a bit boring watching football as a result. We want to be competitive in the big races and at the big meetings – it’s where we’ve got to be.

“It’s a sport and I feel we’re very sporting, as they are at Coolmore.

We’re the first to congratulate each other and it’s great for the sport if we can both be competing at the top of the game.”

Masar’s victory at Epsom came after a strong start to the season for Appleby which had not translated into Classic success, and the trainer admitted to frustration at not being able to land the prizes while O’Brien carried off two of the first three races.

“Last year we had a fantastic spring with our Classic horses.

We won both the trials at the Craven meeting and then Saxon Warrior came along and beat us in the Guineas and we didn’t win the 1000 Guineas either,” he said.

“We then had the favourite for the Oaks and we finished second to them again – the drive home that night wasn’t the best I can tell you. I was thinking to myself what more can I do to win these races – and then the following day we show up and win the Derby. That’s what’s great about this sport.”

Despite the Coolmore stranglehold on the Classics, Appleby insisted both he and Sheikh Mohammed would not be pressured into running horses in races such as the Derby just to be seen to be competing.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 10th - SUNDAY 12th MAY 2019

In 1986, the 2000 Guineas was won by one of the greatest racehorses ever seen on the British turf in the form of Dancing Brave.

ew people at the time would have thought that Green Desert, a well beaten second to Dancing Brave in the 2000 Guineas, would surpass the brilliant Dancing Brave as a sire and sire of sires, but that is exactly what has happened.

The July Cup winning Green Desert - second only to Danehill as the greatest sire son of the legendary Danzig - went on to sire 94 stakes winners, with his tally headed by 12 Gr1 winners. Green Desert’s stars include the remarkable champion sprinter, Sheikh Albadou, the brilliant but ill-fated filly, Bint Allayl, French 1000 Guineas heroine, Rose Gypsy, and star miler, Desert Prince, and he built a reputation for siring highclass, precocious stock who were, by and large, best up to a mile.

Family However, it was as a sire of sires that Green Desert will forever be remembered, with his sons including multiple New Zealand champion, Volksraad, and the very successful trio of Cape Cross, Oasis Dream, and Invincible Spirit. Other sons of Green Desert to sire Gr1 winners included Byron, Desert Prince, and Desert Style.

One of Green Desert’s very best sire sons, Invincible Spirit, a ¾ brother to another outstanding sire in Kodiac, had a big pay day on Saturday when his sons, Magna Grecia and Digital Age won the Gr1 Qipco 2000 Guineas and Gr2 American Turf Stakes respectively.

While Magna Grecia, now a winner of three of only four starts, including the 2018 Gr1 Vertem Futurity Trophy Stakes, is out of a mare by Galileo (Sadler’s Wells), Digital Age’s second dam, Time Control, was sired by Sadler’s Wells.

Invincible Spirit is showing signs of becoming at least as influential a sire as his own sire, if not more so. Already the sire of 120 stakes winners, the Gr1 Haydock Park Sprint

Cup winner has 18 Gr1 winners to his name, although Magna Grecia is his sire’s very first British classic winner two sons of Invincible Spirit, Kingman and Territories, finished second in their respective 2000 Guineas.

Invincible Spirit is also shaping up to be a very successful sire of sires. His son, I Am Invincible, is currently one of Australia’s very best sires and he recently equalled an Australian record when his daughter, Miss Leonidas, became his 26th stakes winner of the 2018-2019 Australian season.

Spirited Another successful sire son of Invincible Spirit is French Derby winner, Lawman, whose 29 stakes winners include five Gr1 winners, notably recently deceased Irish 1000 Guineas winner, Just The Judge, and St Leger hero, Harbour Law. Invincible Spirit’s champion son, Kingman, has made an exceptional start to his stud career, with his early group winners including the very exciting colts Persian King and Calyx, while the triple Gr1 winner, Charm Spirit (Invincible Spirit –L’Enjoleuse) has come up with group winners in both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere already.

Prior to Magna Grecia, Green Desert has made his mark on the 2000 Guineas as a broodmare sire - he is damsire of 2010 2000 Guineas winner, Makfi - and sire of sires. Cape Cross is responsible for brilliant 2009 winner, Sea The Stars, while Green Desert sired Desert Style is the grandsire of 2000 Guineas winner, Galileo Gold.

The Green Desert influence has been felt in South Africa, through the Oasis Dream sired Gr1 winner and sire, Querari, while Quasillo (a Sea The Stars’ close relative of Querari) could yet play a part in making this potent male line effective in this country. The Green Desert sired Great Britain - an own brother to Cape Cross - came up with the stakes winners Al Mariachi,

Green Desert Wrecking Ball, Queen Laurie and Hashtag Strat in a relatively brief stud career in South Africa.

Magna Grecia is also a further nod to the remarkable dominance that his broodmare sire, Galileo, has had on the 2000 Guineas. To date, Galileo has sired three 2000 Guineas winners (including Frankel –arguably the greatest 2000 Guineas winner of all time), and Coolmore’s brilliant sire is also broodmare sire now of four 2000 Guineas winners, with Magna Grecia joining Night Of Thunder, Galileo Gold and the 2018 winner, Saxon Warrior.

Seventh Heaven Remarkably, Galileo has now appeared in the pedigree of the 2000 Guineas winner for the last seven years in a row!

Intriguingly, the 2019 Qipco 2000 Guineas winner, who must now rate an exceptional commercial future stud prospect, is directly descended in female line from one of the greatest mares in history –Selene. The latter,

who won 16 races in two seasons of racing, produced the breed shaping sires Hyperion, Pharamond II, and Sickle, and is also ancestress of champion sires, Mossborough and Sir Tristram; Selene is also the ancestress of triple Equus Champion and prominent South African sire, What A Winter.

Magna Grecia, now a Gr1 winner at both two and three, also hails from the immediate family of South African mare, Strait To Bed, whose Pomodoro colt made R180 000 at the recent National Yearling Sale.

Innovative Stallion Fee Terms Allan Bloodlines have announced a newly structured payment system for services to Elusive Fort the Gr1 sire and the only son of Fort Wood now standing.

MARE OWNERS will be able to choose between a Live Foal fee of R20,000 + VAT (down from R30,000 for his recent Full Books) or R25,000 + VAT “Pay When You Sell”.

The successful AllanStallions Scales of Fees will apply to either option, enabling lower fees to be paid for multiples.

“We as stakeholders in our SA industry must make efforts to rebalance the equation for beleaguered breeders without whose products there will be too few horses for racing in South Africa” said David Allan. “Paying stallion fees 16-18 months before selling is increasingly difficult and a decline in the NYS median is what defines the

He continued “One move we as stallion people can make is to bring benefit to breeders’ cash flows – hence Pay When You Sell – and take the cash flow hit in the syndicate’s and management’s earnings. We also reduce the fee level to something mutually workable in tricky times”.

Elusive Fort sires Gr1 winners, other Stakes Winners, winners at sprinting, miling and middle distances as well as juveniles. He is one of many stallions suffering at the sales for lack of enough buyers having sold a Million Rand Yearling in 2018 then this year one as good or better for R400,000. “It’s a fact of life and we are in good stallion company,” said Allan.

“Yes, we await his next Grade 1 winner but the first of his three Full Books are only coming through as 2 year olds now, so we can expect a lot of action in 2019/20/21 from many more mares covered than up to now, and more good ones”.

Under the AllanStallions Scales of Fees, nobody paid full price for multiple mares and now the fees look extremely reasonable plus the Pay When You Sell option – whether sold as weanlings or yearlings at the breeder’s discretion – or a discount for Live Foal.

“I am very grateful to the Syndicate Principal and shareholders for supporting this industry initiative which we shall also announce for other stallions in a different bracket” added Allan.

Looking For Early Gains with Steve Furnish

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

Daylight Robbery

Powerful Storm

Greyville 28 April The three 1600m races on Sunday afternoon’s poly track card were maiden events, and in the fastest these the strongly fancied JACQUELINE got off the mark. The best bet on the card for many, Dennis Drier’s charge was soon up handy. She was ridden to lead early in the straight, and with some in hand won very cosily by three and a half.

1400m was the only other distance to stage more than race and in the quicker of two, a juvenile plate MASTER JAY gained his second win from just three starts. Another to race handy, the son of Jay Peg struck the front 200m out and just had enough in hand to beat the running on KNIGHT WARRIOR by a neck. The runner up came from the backend of midfield and was gaining quickly at the finish.

The listed Sledgehammer topped the bill and in new course record time Sporting Post’s best handicapped runner ORPHEUS ran out a very easy winner. Allowed a soft lead going into the first bend, Michael & Adam Azzie’s charge quickly went clear. Indeed, he was still eight lengths to the good going through the 300m. The pack chased hard in the closing stages of the race, but they barely made any impression.

TITBITS

Fairview 29 April They raced on the poly track on Monday where victory in the faster of the two maiden events over 1000m that opened up proceedings went to the favourite SIR CALEB. Backed into odds on at the track, Gavin Smith’s charge was soon up handy. He was ridden to lead as they approached the 300m marker and drew clear easily in the closing stages of the race to score by three and a half.

Two 1300m events were next up and the faster of these, a MR66 Handicap, the Dynasty gelding DYNASTY’S BOY ran out a very easy winner.

Another to race handy, he took up the running 300m out and cruised clear in the latter stages to score by four.

The MR62 affair for the girls was the faster of the two handicaps over 1900m and here we saw a comfortable victory for the well supported EPIC STORM. Backed into second favourite, Alan Greeff ’s charge raced at the back of the twelve early on. She quickened best of all when given rein, and after striking the front 150m from home, she won going away by a length.

TITBITS

Racing in open company, the 2yo KAYDENS PRIDE ran on well from midfield when winning the maiden plate over 1600m going away by three and a half.

Backed into odds on, SOLEMN PROMISE only had to be pushed out when winning the MR61 handicap over 1600m going away.

Vaal 30 April Three of the eight races at the Vaal on Tuesday were staged over 1400m and stopping the clock in the fastest of these was VISTULA in the Assessment Plate.

Sent off second favourite, the best weighted runner in the field was soon positioned close to the speed. He ran on strongly at the business end of the race and comfortably accounted for the second best weighted runner ANNEKA by two.

They also ran three races over 1600m and stopping the clock in the fastest of these, a MR71 Handicap, was the 7yo STREET FLYER. Easy to back at 22/1 on the off, the lightly weighted Flying Spur gelding was always handy. He was ridden to lead 250m out, and after a thrilling tussle with the much more fancied PRIVATE RULER, he only got the verdict by the narrowest of margins.

Two 1000m events made up the afternoon’s fare and in marginally the faster of these (on my clock) the 3yo Sail From Seattle gelding TOPMAST

Greyville 1 May YOURSELF 150m out, but rallied gamely below the distance to get the verdict on the nod.

The maiden plate was surprisingly the faster of the two 1200m events on the card and here the well-exposed DALLAS deservedly opened his account. A runner up in four of his last five outings, the A P Arrow gelding made all. He kept on strongly in the short home straight and just held on by the narrowest of margins from the always handy RED HOT NIGHT. TITBITS Sent off favourite after the late scratching of ISIKHWAMI SAMI, the newcomer MARSANNE drew clear easily over the final 400m when winning the maiden event over 1400m going away by three.

Greener Pastures Vaal 2 May Quickest home in the three 1100m events at the Vaal on Thursday was MOON WARRIOR when winning the MR68 Handicap. Up with the speed throughout, the 3yo son of Elusive Fort ran on strongly over the final 400m and comfortably accounted for the running on MOSHAV by just over a length.

They also ran three races over 1400m and stopping the clock in the fastest time amongst these was BULLSADE in the MR92 Handicap. Soon up handy in what was always a very tightly bunched field, Roy Magner’s charge put her head in front 200m out. She kept on strongly late and beat the very steadily gaining CORDILLERA by a neck.

The MR80 Handicap was the faster of the two 1600m events and here the former Cape Town campaigner CARIOCA made it two from three since relocating. Always handy, Joey Ramsden’s charge ran on strongly at the business end of the race, and with the rest comfortably beaten she got the better of the nibbled at SANS REGRETS by a quarter.

TITBITS Running on from midfield, SEA DANCE won the MR68 Horses worth following at their next few starts...

Weighted To Win

Full Of Heart Racing returned to the poly track on Wednesday, and assisted by a 30km/h tail wind the times were faster than at the previous meeting on Sunday. Three of the afternoon’s eight races were staged over 1400m and in the fastest of these, a MR64 Handicap the favourite HIDDEN INFLUENCE registered his second career victory.

Nicely positioned in third turning for home, Dean Kannemeyer’s charge took up the running 200m out, and comfortably accounted for the improving TRUST IN GOLD by a length.

A MR84 Handicap topped the bill and in what proved to be the faster of the two 1600m events HEART OF A LEGEND completed a quick double. Nicely positioned in third early on, Glen Kotzen’s charge initially struck the front shortly after passing halfway. She was headed by BE

Notebook

MARSANNE (D Howells, KZN)

registered a well overdue second success. Priced up at 7/1 to win this MR80 Handicap, Dorrie Sham’s charge raced prominent throughout. He ran on strongly over the final 400m and with the rest comfortably beaten he got the better of a determined WHAT A CAPTAIN by a neck.

TITBITS Sent off third in the betting market, the well supported newcomer EDEN ROC only had to be pushed out when beating the Gr3 Protea Stakes third placed runner GREEN LASER in the juvenile plate over 1400m.
