RUN
On the grand scale of things, the annual Ready-to-Run sale for 2yo’s is as good as it gets. By far. For two years in a row, the sale has produced Equus champions. Sale graduates have an opportunity to compete for a prize of R2 million early in their 3yo career – in that Ready-to-Run race now is the third richest race in the land, and there only are 185 tickets in the draw. When you buy at the sale, you get special payment deals. Your horse is properly broken in, and you are already ahead on the cost of keep compared to buying a yearling. Add all that up, and you’d be a fool not to bid, come the first Sunday in November.
185 LOTS
Seeing the youngsters gallop in the flesh is a whole new experience (you can watch them on the Summerhill website www.summerhill.co.za). This year all horses galloped on their own, being asked to show their mettle over about 400m. They came in all shapes and sizes, some laid-back and experienced, others still as green as grass. The good movers impress, but those that don’t aren’t necessarily inferior – with time, everything will change. As in previous years, a panel of experts reports post-gallops on what they saw. The amazing thing is how these experienced horsemen (where were the horse-women, Mick?) differ in opinion. Allowed to pick a shortlist of three fillies and three colts, the eight-man strong panel came up with seventeen different fillies and thirteen different colts – nineteen of the thirty selections had only one vote! The old adage ‘It’s difference of opinion that makes horse racing’ still holds true. Two opinions are worth noting. Mike de Kock says he likes to see the horses move, but in the end it’s at the sale when real decisions are made, based on conformation, pedigree, and his team’s opinions. American visitor Kip Elser, certainly an expert on the Ready-toRun concept in his country, added an interesting view. “Eyes”, he said, “can be deceiving.” What he meant was that a horse that strides out well and seems to be going fast may in reality not be going as fast as it seems. Conversely, an easy galloper who seems to be loafing may actually be going much faster than it seems. You need a stopwatch to note the differences. And even then the difference between great, good, and moderate is measured in fractions of a second. Kip, needless to say, was the only expert with a stopwatch at the gallops. In the evaluation of the 2yo’s that follows, the expert’s opinions have been added where appropriate, including some ‘value’ selections volunteered by Graeme Hawkins, who pulled a fast one over his fellow panellists, each of which only had three of each sex.
As usual, KAREL MIEDEMA comments on the pedigrees (in sire-order), while Sporting Post’s own panel also gives its views on what they saw at the gallops. Now all it needs is a bit of courage on your part!
ALPHABET SOUP (Cozzene)
