SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 12th - SUNDAY 14th MAY 2017

IF YOU’RE GOING TO BUY ONE…

There’s a difference between owning a racehorse and investing in a broodmare: the one is a comparatively short flirtation with the glory of this great sport of ours, the other is like a marriage. The one is a glamorous gamble at the big time, while breeding is like bringing up a family.

Mother’s Day is your chance to have the best of both worlds.

KZN raider Sabre Charge has won twice over the distance

LISTED EAST CAPE DERBY at Fairview this Saturday

F

The downgrading of the R350 000 East Cape Derby to Listed status has not deterred a strong visiting contingent who will take on the locals at Fairview on Saturday. No PE-based runner has won the race since 2009, so the competition should be intense.

iddling with feature race status is a generally contentious and poorly communicated process in the South African racing hierarchy. Whether it’s considered bad for business or just not the kind of subject decent families discuss around the dinner table, it would be positive were the media at the very least informed where and by whom these decisions are made.

At least the stake stays intact!

Top Rated

The SP top-rated runner is the Duncan Howells raider Sabre Charge.

A winner of 2 of his 8 starts and proven over the trip – the son of Golden Sword has won twice over this distance at Scottsville – he comes in as a major factor with Keagan de Melo, who has ridden him to victory in KZN , aboard.

The officially highest rated runner in the race, Story Of My Life is a pacy gelding who takes a dramatic step up in trip after two quiet feature

efforts recently.

He is not a horse who settles, and that could be a major factor over the 2400m trip.

Fiillies have no kind of record in this race, but Alan Greeff saddles two of them – and may feel that the boys are worth taking on.

Another Night has won at 1800m but was not persevered with last time and needs to improve on what she has shown so far. Jockey Ndlovu reported that he felt something amiss Big Buy with her in the running last time out – Brett Crawford travels from his but with nothing detected by the Vet, Phillipi home base with the R4,25 we remain in the dark. million purchase Arabian Dynasty.

This beautifully bred gelding Noble Pursuit Candice Bass-Robinson will be has won once in six starts and looking for her first winner in this race accounted for the very modest and after her yard hit form at home Hernando’s Promise when winning and in KZN last weekend, it may be his maiden over 1800m.

Interestingly, Greg Cheyne worth considering the lightly tried would have had the choice of the Dorset Noble.

The son of multiple Royal Ascot three Greeff runners, yet rides for winner Canford Cliffs shed his maiden Crawford.

Arabian Dynasty should relish the over 2400m at his second start – dare we say it beating the Bookies Buddy, extra and can be expected to be in the mix.

Justin Snaith’s Silvano gelding Strathdon cracked a deserved second win last time at this track and looks to go the extra 400m on Saturday.

This classy fellow has some reasonable earlier fringe showings to the likes of William Longsword and Horizon and he could give his trainer a back-to-back celebration after Captain Splendid won the Derby (when still a Gr3) last year.

Piere Strydom rides the Right Approach colt Off The Bit, who has decent enough form but he has yet to prove he will see out the distance.

He did run third in the Derby Plate over 2000m, 2.75 lengths behind Snaith-trained Strathdon but will be 4kg better off this time.

the two Alan Greeff fillies in the ten horse field.

She is yet to take on the boys and has not shown enough to suggest she could be a factor in this field.

Second of the Gavin Smith runners, En Gee Oh has been very consistent but meets Strathdon on 2kgs worse terms for a two length beating last time. That may be a mountain to climb for the Philanthropist colt who tries the trip for the first time.

Former Brett Crawford runner Give It Away has had four runs here for Grant Paddock.

The son of Philanthropist won

his maiden first time at Fairview on the poly, but other than a fair post maiden course-and-distance second, his subsequent two runs are average.

Proven

We are leaning towards those proven over the trip with Sabre Charge and Dorset Noble the obvious standouts.

Strathdon looks slowly progressive and he should take the step up after his good win last time.

Arabian Dynasty has shown decent enough form and if he stays, he comes into the reckoning.

Duke Of The Poly

Piere Strydom will be one of the visiting riders entertaining fans in Port Elizabeth this weekend for a rare Eastern Cape double header - the first on Friday on the Polytrack and the second on Saturday on the turf.

On Friday the final leg of the WSB East Cape Poly Challenge over 1600m will be run.

No runner can win all three legs as Juan Two Three, who thrashed the opposition in the first leg over 1200m, did not run in the second leg over 1400m. But the rules have allowed for a R50 000 consolation bonus to the horse who earns the most points over the three legs.

The one proviso is that the runner has to have won at least one of the legs.

That has left Tara Laing-trained Sir Duke almost unstoppable in his quest to collect the windfall. The son of Trippi was runner-up behind Juan Two Three over 1200m and then sneaked in front of Peach Delight to win the second leg over 1400m. He has accumulated 16 points and that should be good enough to bag the bonus.

The East Cape Nursery winner Fort Winter looks set to follow up on Saturday

LISTED DAHLIA PLATE at Fairview this Saturday Dippin’ Blu Stables are out in force in the R150 000 Listed Dahlia Plate at Fairview on Saturday. The Yvette Bremner machine saddles a sextet in the thirteen runner field and will be looking to dominate the show.

S

pearheading the Bremner attack is the East Cape Nursery winner, Fort Winter.

The bang in-form Callan Murray gets the chance again on the exciting son of What A Winter who will be looking to show that his last run was no flash-in-the-pan.

He was beaten at his second outing

by Desert Chief but cast a shoe there and was much more effective when shedding his maiden in the Nursery.

He is set to carry 58kgs, with the only two-time winner Sacred Oration carrying 60kgs.

The weights are framed with Maidens set 53 kg and one - time winners a base 56 kg.

Thereafter, penalties apply of 2 kg for each additional win up to but not exceeding 60 kgs for Colts & Geldings and 57.5kgs for Fillies, who get an allowance of 2,5 kgs.

No Joking Gavin Smith’s nice Querari filly Joking has run three seconds at her four outings – her only unplaced run being her 4 lengths off Precious Pansy in the Fillies Nursery.

She gets as much as 7,5kgs from

topweight Sacred Oration and could have the boys off the bit early on.

She is no tearaway type and can be settled – a handy asset here!

Having his first run since gelding, Sacred Oration ran on really well to be beaten 0,75 lengths by Fort Winter in the Nursery.

He now has to give the Bremner runner 2kgs, which could seal his fate – but he was a trifle distracted previously and gelding could give him the balancing edge to put his best hoof forward.

Good Greeff Seattle Flame is the first of the Greeff duo and looks likely to challenge the top two on his form shown to date.

After winning well on debut, he shifted about and then got going too late to be beaten 1,50 lengths in the Nursery.

He looks worth following and with stable rider Greg Cheyne in the irons looks better than Gone Not Forgotten, who is held by Sacred Oration on his penultimate start .

He was then beaten 6 lengths by Fort Winter in the East Cape Nursery.

He has a tendency to be slow away and that could be expensive in this kind of field.

Needs Further Coyote Creek is still a maiden and races like a horse looking for further.

Slow off at both his starts, he ran on well after being out of his ground to be beaten 5,75 lengths by Big Chief last start.

He is difficult to guage but has a very definite come on look about him.

Corne Spies’ Miss Aphrodite is still a maiden after 5 starts and dropped right out when close on 16 lengths behind Fort Winter in the Nursery at her penultimate start.

She looked a lot more comfortable against her own sex at her last start when showing plenty of toe and staying on a quarter length adrift of Grazia.

She may battle against the boys, but her trainer may have a tearaway plain for her under a handy 52,5kgs.

Desert Chief looks well held by Fort Winter on his 8,50 length walloping in the East Cape Nursery and looks pinned down too by Secret Oration on his beating in receipt of 3kgs at his second outing.

Via Seattle won her first two starts but was then bumped and got going too late when a 2,25 fourth in the East Cape Fillies Guineas.

She could be dangerous if enjoying better luck in running in this field.

Pure Fiction won readily on her 800m debut but was beaten almost 16 lengths behind Precious Pansy in the Fillies Nursery. She will need to up her game.

Itsgonnarain won on debut but was then well beaten over 17 lengths in the Nursery. He will need vast improvement.

Green Field is the final of the Bremner sextet.

The son of Marchfield made an unsupported debut last Friday when a reasonable enough third 3,25 lengths behind Trap Lord. He can only improve.

Weight?

Fort Winter and Sacred Oration look the obvious two to fight this out.

We have a preference for the Bremner galloper – but Joking could be the proverbial you-know-what in the pack off her 52,5kgs.

Don’t ignore Seattle Flame and Desert Chief in bigger hitting exotics.

Flame Dorrie Sham’s Bright Flame is the most experienced racer in the field with six runs under the belt.

The Sail From Seattle galloper had to ease when beaten close on 6 lengths in the Nursery.

He then never got into the race when 2,60 lengths behind Pinnacle Peak last time.

Champions Day History

Our National Pride

B

Klawervlei Stud’s unique joint venture with Arrowfield Australia reached a heady climax at Turffontein on Champions Day when two sons of Redoute’s Choice out of former SA Horse Of The Year National Colour each won a Gr1.

esides the superb racing, history was made by Mustaaqeem winning the Gr1 SA Nursery and his 4yo full-brother Rafeef blitzing home in the Gr1 Computaform Sprint a few hours later.

While champion sire Redoute's Choice had achieved a same day Gr1 double a decade earlier when Nadeem and Snitzel won the Blue Diamond and the Oakleigh Plate at Caulfield in February 2006, the immaculately detailed pairing had never been achieved on the same basis - before Champions Day.

Think about it A Gr1 double at the same meeting by two full brothers, ridden by the same jockey, bred by the same stud, raced by the same owner and trained by the same multiple champion, bought from the same vendor at the same sale.

Sheik Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Mike de Kock and 20 year old Callan Murray were the proud trio in the midst of the action – but it all started a few years earlier, when former TBA Chairman Advocate Altus Joubert sent Rainbow Cake to the iconic Highlands Sire, National Assembly.

The yearling sold to leading SA owner Chris van Niekerk was to go on to great things on the track - a South African Horse of the Year and Champion Older Sprinter in Britain, who raced with distinction in South Africa, Dubai and England.

Sales While her son Rafeef – sold by Arrowfield for $800,000 – was one of the major take aways from the 2014 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale, her current youngest racer Mustaaqeem was, at $1.75 million, the third highest price at Easter ’16 and Shadwell’s biggest buy at the sale.

Klawervlei’s John Koster told the Sporting Post that the joint venture with Arrowfield had realised undreamed of success.

“We have eight mares at Arrowfield and the idea was conceptualised to allow us to have access to the best of blood and to introduce new lines into South Africa. We are so proud with what National Colours has achieved. The exciting thing is that she has a Redoute’s Choice foal at foot, is in foal to him and is scheduled to go to Snitzel,” he said, adding that there were other highclass stakes performers to come out of the programme, including Time

SA Derby

The Michael Azzie trained dual Grade 1 winner, Hat Puntano (ARG), was an interesting supplementary entry on Tuesday morning for the 2017 Vodacom Durban July bringing to 47 the number of horses still in contention for the big race on 1 July 2017.

The first VDJ Log has been issued by Gold Circle and serves as a clear indication as to who would be in the field if the race was run tomorrow. “We have not considered Hat Puntano at this stage as he has yet to win beyond 1600 metres and has not been seen in action since July 2016,” said Gold Circle Racing Executive Raf Sheik. “Hopefully he will make his South African debut in the near future,” he added.

The top six spots on the VDJ Log are occupied by horses who have won automatic qualifying races this season. Marinaresco and Captain America, at 7 and 8, lead the way amongst the balance but there is a long way to go yet and those on the outside looking in still have plenty of opportunities to qualify.

National Colour not only thrashed the colts in the Computaform Sprint , but she also went to the UK and was beaten a nose in the Gr1 Nunthorpe Stakes in England.

She looks set to become an important foundation mare in the history of breeding in SA, because her two sons will become stallions and found their own dynasties, whilst her daughters will build future families.

She therefore becomes a pivot for the breed especially as Klawervlei, who maintains her in Australia, is mating her to world class stallions.

It is also firm evidence once again that the breed progresses on the back of racing class.

Dramatic three way battle, Deo Juvente holds off Legal Eagle and Nother Russia

On a Champions Day of mixed emotions for trainer Geoff Woodruff and SA’s leading owners Mayfair Speculators, 20 year old jockey Callan Murray owned the occasion with three superb Gr1 winners, at the same time confirming his status as one of the most talented youngsters to emerge from the SA Jockey Academy in the past decade.

M

Gr1 Premier's Champions Challenge Turffontein last Saturday

urray, who has only been a fully fledged rider for five months, rode his first Gr1 winner on Heavenly Blue in the SA Classic on 1 April. He added to that icebreaker with three more Gr1’s on Saturday.

Murray’s powerful and beautifully balanced ride to get Deo Juvente home to pip the red hot favourite Legal Eagle (also in the Mayfair Speculators silks) in the R4 million Gr1 Premier’s Champions Challenge, was top drawer stuff on our most competitive horseracing stage.

The Trippi gelding Deo Juvente had given the then apprentice Murray his first Gr2 success when registering his last victory a long time ago – in the Victory Moon Stakes at the same venue in November 2015. And while his success on Saturday was not a popular one for the punting public, it was an emotional moment for those involved.

Trainer Geoff Woodruff dedicated the win to his Mom who had passed away peacefully the previous evening.

Owners Mayfair Speculators had to experience the ‘disappointment’ of seeing one of their lesser lights beat one of the greatest horses to carry their famous silks. But that’s racing.

Legal Eagle was looking to equal the 1967 feat of the legendary Sea Cottage by defending his third Gr1 title in a season, and was a confident choice in most quarters after his brilliant Horse Chestnut Stakes success on 1 April.

The 5yo son of Greys Inn didn’t have things easy though.

Kept out wide as Stonehenge led Celtic Captain and Brazuca early, he was some way off the gallop turning for home.

Deo Juvente, who had been given a quiet ride at the back, took off at the same time at the 600m marker and behind Legal Eagle.

In a run for the wire, Craig Zackey produced Nother Russia with a big effort as Marcus got serious on Legal Eagle wide out.

With Deo Juvente the ham on the sandwich, Legal Eagle drifted inwards as Nother Russia dug deep.

In a thrilling finish, Murray stuck Deo Juvente’s head down at the line to gain a head

win over Legal Eagle in a time of 124,66 secs.

Nother Russia ran a gutsy race a neck back in third.

The Avontuur sponsored Callan Murray admitted that ‘words can’t describe my day’.

“I woke up at 4h30 this morning – I couldn’t sleep – I had a gut feel about this afternoon.

It’s a special victory as Deo Jevente was my first Gr2 winner. I worked him recently and he felt good. Thanks to Mayfair Speculators for all the chances they give me in the Eastern Cape and here. I’m very fortunate. And then the whole Woodruff team – they do a great job,” added Murray.

An emotional trainer Geoff Woodruff paid tribute to his Mom who passed away the previous evening.

“I’d like to dedicate this win to her,” he said, adding that Callan had come and ridden Deo Juvente a lot.

“We didn’t really think we had a shout against Legal Eagle but we felt we could perhaps crack it over 2000m. I feel Legal Eagle is at his brilliant best over a mile, if I may say so,” he said politely.

Woodruff is on record in an earlier interview about Deo Juvente, which has proven quite prophetic.

“He was one of our picks that year. He was a little long in the back and he’s not got a great action because of it, but he’s very very fast.

I think he’ll have his day. He’s a big strong horse and I think he’ll carry weight. He’s also got a terrific character – he’ll snap and lay his teeth and ears back at you, but if you go up to talk to him, he’ll put his ears forward. He’s a funny horse, like one of those grumpy people that you get to know who turn out to be quite nice. He’s a really honest, reliable horse.”

A winner of 5 races with 12 places from 21 starts, Deo Juvente has earned a healthy return of R3 572 050 on his R500 000 price tag at the 2013 Emperors Palace National Yearling Sale.

He was bred by Northfields Stud and is by champion Trippi out of the outstanding tentime winning Complete Warrior mare, Circle Of Life – a top class Gr1 winner who won in South Africa and Zimbabwe.

That’s it for the Highveld Season – we now head for the coast and the SA Champions Season.

The Premier’s Challenge was a joke, with pace se�er Stonehenge chopping and changing the pace. From going faster early than the Gerald Rosenberg, the pace had slowed by a second at the 400m, a�er which there was a mad scramble for home. The winner just got lucky.

The same goes for the Gerald Rosenberg, although to a somewhat lesser degree.

The Derby was quick early, then slowed drama�cally, resul�ng in a sprint finish.

The Oaks pace was moderate and also decided in a sprint home.

Murray gets the best out of Rafeef

Gr1 Computaform Sprint Turffontein last Saturday

A

Mike de Kock and the high-riding Callan Murray celebrated a rare family Gr1 double when two smashing Australian-bred full brothers won their respective Gr1 contests in authoritative fashion.

fter the 2yo Mustaaqeem had skated home a few hours earlier to win the Gr1 SA Nursery, his 4yo full-brother Rafeef produced the goods to score a scintillating victory in the R1 million Gr1 Computaform Sprint.

There was added sentiment after Rafeef’s cracking victory as his illustrious Mum, National Colours, won this race in 2006.

After the minor ‘disappointment’ of Heavenly Blue’s third in the Gr1 SA Derby sandwiched in between, De Kock and Murray displayed

the winning character when talking on a big field of big hitters in Gauteng’s premier speed contest.

With accomplished Gr1 stablemates Trip To Heaven and Carry On Alice dominating the betting boards, the speed was on from the jump – but not before the former had lost his customary couple of lengths with a lazy release.

But with Anton Marcus up, Trip To Heaven caught up quickly and was on the heels of his stablemate Carry On Alice as Cape challenger Jo’s Bond and local speed lady Wrecking Ball cut out the fractions in front.

At the 350m the race was

wide open with Brutal Force looking for a gap and Carry On Alice galloping powerfully.

In a matter of strides Callan Murray produced Rafeef with a scything run down the centre and the 4yo shot clear as the rest looked on.

Well supported from 16-1 to 7’s, Rafeef went on powerfully as former top rated sprinter Talktothestars came from the clouds to get within 1,30 lengths.

The winner’s time was a hasty 55,95 secs.

The 22-10 favourite Carry On Alice was not disgraced in hanging on for third, just ahead of the consistent Brutal Force.

Trip To Heaven paid the price for his catch-up performance and faded to run 3,50 lengths behind in seventh – just ahead of Lebelo Sprint winner, Rivarine.

Winning rider Callan Murray said that Rafeef had put up ‘ostentatious work’ and that

even though he knew he was up against the best, he felt positive. “I had a perfect lead at the 400m and he quickened like a good horse.

This was easy,” said Murray.

Rafeef is by Redoute’s Choice out of the former SA Horse Of The Year National Colour, who won 7 of her 10 starts here.

Rafeef was purchased by Shadwell Australia for A$800k at the 2014 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale. His record is 6 wins, 3 places from 10 runs and earnings of R1 193 325.

Proving yet again that rhyme doesn’t always click with reason in the thoroughbred game, Shadwell Stud’s Racing Manager Angus Gold said that both Rafeef and Mustaaqeem are very much different types: “Rafeef is a bigger, more rangier type whereas Mustaaqeem has more quality about him.

Better balanced. He looked like a 2YO from the start.”

. . . it’s been a wonderful few weeks . . .

Callan Murray has matters in hand as Mustaaqeem charges clear

Anthony Delpech and Al Sahem are on their own at the SA Derby finish

Gr1 SA DERBY Turffontein last Saturday

Gr1 SA NURSERY Turffontein last Saturday

W

Mike de Kock drew first blood in the Champions Day Gr1 bull-ring when his exciting Redoute’s Choice colt Mustaaqeem demolished his nine rivals to score a facile victory in the R1 million Gr1 SA Nursery.

ith the new R4,5 million guaranteed Pick 6 climbing to an impressive R5 528 630, punters got off to a flying start when Avontuur jockey Callan Murray helped himself to the easiest Gr1 success of his short career courtesy of the impressive Mustaaqeem.

After romping home by 7.50-lengths under Murray on debut on 25 March, punters climbed in with confidence at his second start on Saturday and Sheikh Hamdan’s galloper was just too good on the day.

After taking a bump at the start, Murray had the long

striding 2yo stalking the leaders and sent him for gold at the 400m.

In a matter of strides, the second fancy Barrack Street went out the back door as Mustaaqeem lengthened his stride and drew away to win by 4 lengths in a time of 65,80 secs.

With plenty in hand, he disposed of stablemate and recent maiden winning Naafer easily, with Tarry’s Wonderwall a further 2 lengths back in third.

Dual stakes winner Barrack Street stopped late and finished 8 lengths behind.

Winning rider Callan Murray said he rode the Gr1 ‘like a maiden’ and added that he was always confident.

Mike de Kock said that Mustaaqeem was ‘bred to be a professional’.

“I knew the mother and I hope that Mustaaqeem can stand here one day. His is the kind of blood we need in South Africa. I am thrilled for Sheik Hamdan and I feel that’s going to be it for his 2yo career.”

The winner was bred by Arrowfield Stud and is by Redoute’s Choice from seven time winner National Colour – South Africa’s champion 3-year-old filly and Horse of the Year in 2006.

Mustaaqeem was the third highest-priced lot at the 2016 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale on a bid of A$1.75 million from Shadwell Australasia.

A winner of 2 from 2, Mustaaqeem took his career earnings to R684 375.

He is a full-brother to fellow Shadwell colourbearer Rafeef (Aus), himself an A$800,000 Easter graduate in 2014 and winner of the recent Gr2 Hawaii Stakes –who won the Gr1 Computaform Sprint later in the day.

Tarry Takes SA Derby

S

A bold move at the top of the home straight by Anthony Delpech rounded off an SA Oaks – SA Derby double for Maine Chance stallion Silvano on Champions Day.

ilvano’s daughter Wind Chill had scored a smart victory in the SA Oaks a half hour earlier.

The Gauteng Guineas and SA Classic runner-up, Sean Tarry’s Al Sahem made good in the final leg of the SA Triple Crown and demonstrated that things may well have turned out quite differently had his trainer not faced a race against time in advance of the first leg.

“We started on the backfoot initially and once again it all boils down to timing. We had him ready today and he showed us what he is capable of,” said Tarry, who had a relatively quiet big day with a Gr1 and Gr2 in the bag.

In a disappointingly small field, SA Classic winner Heavenly Blue and Al Sahem looked the standouts amongst some Gr1 passengers.

The race panned out beautifully for Delpech, who said that Al Sahem had been quiet last time – “today he was naughty –

Wind Chill A Hot Number Gr2 WILGERBOSDRIFT SA OAKS Turffontein last Saturday

S

Top owner Markus Jooste has probably changed more than a few lives in South African horseracing. Trainer Joey Soma conceded his was one after he realised a boyhood dream of winning the R1 million Gr2 SA Oaks.

oma has enjoyed great success dating all the way back to Wagner’s victory in the 2011 Summer Cup for the springbok silked Mayfair Speculators, and his Silvano filly Wind Chill looks to have plenty in the tank after her emphatic win.

Wind Chill has proven something of a bridesmaid having run second at her last three starts under three different jockeys – Antony Delpech having just failed on her in the Oaks Trial after running wide - but Anton Marcus proved the winning catalyst on Saturday – making no mistakes with a polished display in the saddle.

Marcus had Wind Chill relaxed two from last as Royal Utopia led Costa Da Sol and the unsettled Captain Gambler.

Wind Chill gradually moved up down the home straight and with only Oriental Oak chasing, she finished best as she burst up the outside to beat the speedy finishing Oriental Oak by 2,50 lengths in a time of 155,21 secs.

The outsider Royal Utopia stayed on well for third, a length in front of Bipot.

There was no effort from Orchid Island (4,50 lengths), Belle Rose (7 lengths) who went down the inside, and the fancied Smiling Blue Eyes (9,50 lengths).

Anton Marcus, who was riding his first feature winner for Joey Soma, said that the winner had given him a good feeling and he thanked the Mayfair Speculators team.

“She is small but very athletic. I didn’t quite expect this.

Me, Joey and Gabi go back a long way back, so this is very rewarding. Wind Chill won with a bit in hand – it’s hard to say what she beat as she hasn’t bumped the Cape fillies yet though,” he cautioned.

Joey Soma said that this was one of the races all trainers want to win.

“I recall as a schoolboy watching the Brevals and Oppenheimers win this race often. Many thanks to the Slacks for their sponsorship – it is a proud moment in my career. I need to thank a lot of people – Markus Jooste , one of the few men to believe in me and to his wife Ingrid and Derek Brugman.Also all my staff,” he said.

Wind Chill was bred by Maine Chance and is by Silvano out of the four-time winning Western Winter mare, Windin The Willows.

A R400 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 graduate, Wind Chill has won 3 races with 5 places from her 11 starts for stakes of R826 575.

that’s his personality – and he ran to his ability,” he added.

“At the 1200m the pace came back to me and he did thing so easily. He ran on well all the way to the line. I must thank Sean (Tarry) for keeping me on throughout the Triple Crown,” said Delpech.

Al Sahem galloped powerfully down the long Turffontein straight to win in a time of 154,51 secs.

With the favourite Heavenly Blue battling to make up the ground – he may not have stayed – it was left to Geoff Woodruff’s Derby Trial winner Pagoda to give cheek and grab second cheque.

The son of Mogok looks worth keeping an eye on.

Heavenly Blue ran a one-paced third and he is likely to drift off the top of the July betting.

Trainer Sean Tarry had been bullish all week.

“We respected the favourite but I expected the better showing. Lyle Hewitson and Joe Gingwiza have done all the work on him and I must thank them and the team for the great effort,’ he said.

Al Sahem was bred by Al Adiyaat SA and is a son of Silvano out of the three-time winning Al Muft mare, Alderry. He has won 3 races with 2 places from 5 starts and stakes of R1 972 500.

Gr2 Camellia Stakes Turffontein last Saturday

Joan On Her Own Lucky Houdalakis’ Horse Chestnut filly Joan Ranger made it back-to-back wins when benefitting from a typically well judged ride from Piere Strydom to win the Gr2 Camellia Stakes under the Turffontein lights.

The final feature of the 2017 Highveld Season was rocked by the shock late withdrawal of the favourite Exquisite Touch, and Strydom took the gap with both hands to score a second stakes success for the quick lady.

After the withdrawal of the favourite, the focus fell on to the consistent 3yo Green Pepper, but the Johan Janse van Vuuuren filly had no answers when coming back.

Andrew Fortune looked to have burgled the race 300m from home as he went hard on Crystal Glamour, with the topweight Joan Ranger taking her time to get going.

At the 200m it was still

touch and go but Strydom’s body language suggested he had something in the tank and Joan Ranger got to Crystal Glamour to win by a neck in a time of 66,88 secs for the 1160m.

Crown Of Roses improved again after her good recent placing behind Carry On Alice and held third ahead of a disappointing Green Pepper.

Peter Van Schoor bred Joan Ranger who is by Horse Chestnut out of the very versatile six-time winning Rambo Dancer mare, Fashion Edition.

Joan Ranger has won 5 races with 10 places from 20 starts and stakes of R890 800.

She may have earned a tilt at the SA Fillies Sprint on this showing.

Kentucky Derby

S’manga Khumalo has Green Plains in front when it counts

Finger Lickin’ Good!

158070 people on track

JC PHOTOS

Joint favourite Always Dreaming, ridden by John Velazquez, won the 143rd Kentucky Derby at Louisville's Churchill Downs last Saturday.

Gr2 SA FILLIES NURSERY Turffontein last Saturday

I

The recent Gr3 Pretty Polly Stakes winner Green Plains showed she is a filly with a bright future when she skipped clear late in the R400 000 Gr2 SA Fillies Nursery.

n what was to prove another big feature weekend for Varsfontein stallion Gimmethgreenlight, the Gary Player Stud bred filly showed good ability when accounting for her opposition over the 1160m – a distance possibly on the short side for her looking ahead.

Daring Diva and the very fast Kissable led the way early, with Bling Khumalo stalking them from a length off in third.

Into the final 300m Green Plains asserted her authority and went on to score a smart win by a length in a

time of 66,33 secs at the expense of Stan Ferreira’s recent debut winner Winter’s Forge who ran a cracker down the inside all on her own.

Daring Diva saw her unbeaten record up in flames but stayed on gamely for third, ahead of the winner’s stablemate Desert Rhythm who made up good ground late for fourth.

Kissable showed lots of toe but fell in a hole to run an unpaid 5,25 lengths off.

Winning rider S’manga Khumalo said that his instructions were to ride Green Plains as he found her.

“She was idling behind them.

When I asked her she really picked it up.

This was a win full of merit,” he said.

Trainer Sean Tarry said that it had been ‘a tough month’ but was hoping that everything was in place fro Champions Day. “I’d like to aim a filly of this quality at the Gr1 Allan Robertson at Scottsville,” he said, confirming the upward graph shown

by Green Plains.

A R350 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 graduate, Green Plains took her win tally to 3 from 4 starts for 1 places and stakes of R452 250.

Bred by Gary Player Stud, she is a daughter of exciting young sire Gimmethegreenlight out of the one-time winning Jet Master mare, Savannah Leigh.

When suggested by Tellytrack presenter Deez Dayanand that the Tarry-KhumaloVan Niekerk partnership was a ‘match made in heaven’, owner Chriis van Niekerk suggested that he wouldn’t go that far – ‘but let’s just say we are getting there’, he added.

Zechner Put The Grabs Gold

Gr2 GERALD ROSENBERG last Saturday

Gr3 Gold Bowl Turffontein last Saturday While his formline hasn’t exactly matched his bloodline, the Ideal World gelding Hermoso Mundo made it a winning debut for trainer Weiho Marwing when he stormed to his first stakes success in the R500 000 Gr3 Gold Bowl.

T

he former Alec Laird-trained gelding, a son of Equus champion Escoleta Fitz, hasn’t exactly set the world on fire so far but took to the 3200m like a fish to water to score a good win to open the Highveld Season curtain-raiser feature menu.

Last weekend’s’ Zimbabwe Derby winning jockey Karl Zechner, who enjoyed such a terrific Champions Day in 2016 when he rounded off a sensational Triple Crown success, showed his penchant for the big day with a well-judged ride.

Hermoso Mundo was relaxed in midfield as first Coby and then Savage Wind led the charge, in a race of fluctuating pace sectors.

Into the 400m, Savage Wind continued to lead as Ilitshe, who had not enjoyed the tardy fractions early, moved up to challenge.

Zechner was sitting with a double handful though and he slipped the Ideal World gelding through the inside to take up the running and charge clear to a smart win.

Hermoso Mundo scored by 5,25 lengths in a time of 207,85 secs.

Lions Emblem came through late to lift the Bipot dividend, and shade the gallant mare Coby into third.

The winner’s more fancied stablemate Let It Rain was left with a mountain to climb from last into the home run and could only manage a modest fourth.

Hermoso Mundo has won 3 races with 9 places from 18 starts for stakes of R492 950.

A R200 000 Suncoast KZN Yearling Sale purchase, the winner was bred by Mauritzfontein from Ideal World out of the ten time winner Escoleta Fitz (Fitzcaraldo) – an Equus champion who hails from the famous ‘E’ family.

Kettle On!

There’s always something special about the Varsfontein bloodlines and while the top Cape breeders missed a possible fourth consecutive SA Oaks success on Champions Day, they bounced back strongly with Judpot’s daughter Polyphonic adding the R400 000 Gr2 Gerald Rosenberg Stakes to her burgeoning CV.

P

iere Strydom has formed a winning alliance with the 4yo Listed Jacaranda Handicap winner and after she found the mile of the Gr1 Empress Club Stakes on the short side last time, the 2000m is right up her alley and she scored a fluent win in the Varsfontein white and scarlet on Saturday.

This well related filly was tuned to the minute by Alec Laird and Striker Strydom had her loping along in third as Girl On The Run and The Centenary showed the way all around and into the home run. Strydom allowed Polyphonic to build up and with Girl On The Run drifting out slightly, the Varsfontein filly glided down the inside and went for broke.

With Randall Simons getting Girl On The Run to rally strongly and come back at the leader, the race was a keen one but there was little question who was going the better.

Polyphonic finished strongest of the lot to beat Girl On The Run by 0,35 lengths in a time of 125,39 secs.

The evergreen Trophy Wife stayed on well for third, with Flying Ice not disgraced and paying her way in fourth.

Polyphonic has now won 4 races with 5 places from 15 starts and stakes of R720 850. Bred by Varsontein, she is by Judpot out of the winner producing six-time winning Royal Chalice mare, Princess Polly.

This family goes back to the 2000 Rothmans July and that most unluckiest of losers, Young Rake, who was declared second to El Picha in an oft debated photo finish.

Equus champion stayer Young Rake was out of the Del Sarto mare, Young Polly. Young Polly produced Princess Polly (by Royal Chalice), who is the dam of Gr1 winner Master Plan and Polyphonic, amongst others.

Polyphonic has now won 4 races with 5 places from 15 starts and stakes of R720 850.

It turned into a good week for Varsfontein, who headed the vendors list at BSA National Yearling Sale, with 23 of their 27 lots offered grossing R15.495 million averaging R673 696.

ALWAYS DREAMING, a 9-to-2 betting choice, had a great start and was second down the backstretch as State of Honor led.

But Always Dreaming made his move with heading into the final turn.

As they turned for home, Always Dreaming was close to the rail and began to pull ahead to a comfortable margin.

"He responded right away," Velazquez said in the winner's circle. "It was a great feeling."

Always Dreaming won by 2 3/4 lengths. Lookin At Lee finished in second place, and Battle of Midway rounded out the top three. Irish War Cry, the other co-favourite, finished 10th.

Velazquez also rode Animal Kingdom to a win in the 2011 Derby.

Trainer Todd Pletcher, celebrating his second Kentucky Derby win, said he planned to ship Always Dreaming to Pimlico on Tuesday in pursuit of the second jewel of the Triple Crown, looking for a peaceful environment for the colt who proved a headstrong handful while training at Churchill Downs.

“Looking at what the options are, at Pimlico, there's generally not a lot of horses training there," Pletcher said Sunday after pronouncing the Bodemeister colt none the worse for wear from the Derby triumph.

"I think it will be a quiet environment, give us time to get him settled in and if we have to make any adjustments we'll have time to do that."

After intermittent rain throughout the day, track conditions were sloppy.

Thunder Snow, an Irish-born horse run in Europe and the United Arab Emirates, had trouble out of the gate and jockey Christophe Soumillon eventually pulled his jumpy colt out of the race.

A total of 158,070 people attended the race, according to NBC, which broadcast the event.

The next race in the Triple Crown series is on May 20 - the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.

The Belmont Stakes New York, is June 10 at Belmont Park.

Churchill Smokes ‘Em As It’s...

Eight Up For O’Brien Ever since Aidan O’Brien moved to Ballydoyle 21 years ago he has become as accustomed to making headlines as he has racing history but he broke one of the sport’s longest-standing records when Churchill, the 6-4 favourite, gave him a record eighth victory in the Qipco 2000 Guineas at Newmarket on Saturday.

O’BRIEN had previously shared the record with John Scott, whose seven winners came in two decades of similar domination between 1842 and 1862.

O’Brien’s eight, beginning in 1998 with King Of Kings, have come even quicker but he has some way to go before he expunges Scott, the ‘Wizard of the North’ from the record books altogether – he sent out 41 Classic winners in all, including 16 St Legers winners and, in 1853, his West Australia was the first horse to win the Triple Crown of Guineas, Derby and Leger.

The 209th running of the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket could not have gone more to plan for O’Brien. Lancaster Bomber, one of his other contenders, made the running at a leisurely pace, too leisurely for the likes of most of Churchill’s rivals.

Once Churchill had settled after a furlong, Ryan Moore tracked Lancaster Bomber through before slipping up his inside when the false rail ended to hit the front two furlongs out and, doing what the champion two-year-old is supposed to do at three, he was always in control of the dash for the line, coming home a length clear of Barney Roy and the French challenger Al Wukair, who were separated by a neck.

Lancaster Bomber was fourth with the Frankel colts, Dream Castle and Eminent, fifth and sixth respectively.

The winner is a big, deep chested imposing colt who, on looks at any rate, is built for speed rather than distance and most bookmakers left him unchanged at 6-1 for the Derby and, while he was not stopping at the end of the mile, neither was it a case of the further the better and one would imagine the St James’s Palace will be his next port of call.

O’Brien described the win as “brilliant” and admitted, that despite the outward signs of confidence in the betting market, he had worries.

“I was a bit nervous,” he said. “He’s a big horse, it was his first run, it was a competitive race. But Donnacha [his son who rides out the horse every day] was happy and that was giving us the confidence.”

Justin Snaith’s progressive Gimmethegreenlight filly Gimme Six maintained her unbeaten KZN record when she paralyzed her opposition to win the opening feature of the SA Champions Season, the R500 000 Gr2 Daisy Fillies Guineas.

he recent Gr3 Umzimkhulu Stakes winner has blossomed in the holiday province and looked a picture in the preliminaries.

Anthony Delpech, who had won the SA Derby 24 hours earlier, had Gimme Six settled 4 lengths off the leaders as A Womens Way led Final Judgement into the straight.

Angled out for her run Gimme Six made up the ground steadily on Final Judgement and at the 200m marker was already going away from them.

The 3-1 Gimme Six finished with a flourish down the outside to draw first blood for the Cape contingent and beat the gallant Final Judgement by 1,50 lengths in a time of 96,39 secs.

Sail came out of the pack to maintain her improvement and grab third a further 1,25 lengths back.

Gauteng raider Al Danza was back in fourth and was always thereabouts, without threatening.

Winning jockey Anthony Delpech described Gimme Six as ‘a top filly’.

“Justin (Snaith) had her spot on and we have been fortunate. Last year we had Bela-Bela

and now Gimme Six. I reckon her major asset is her blistering turn of foot. They went slow and it suited me. I think she will get further ,” he added.

Snaith paid tribute to the Greyville track condition and said the main thing is that every horse has a fair chance.

“Gimme Six is an incredible filly and she never put a foot wrong in work. Gimmethegreenlight is a top stallion and he has shown it again,” said Snaith.

NHA Chairman Ken Truter was on track to receive the trophy on behalf of the partnership who owns Gimme Six. Bred by a partnership comprising Hemel ‘n Aarde Stud, Ken Truter and Nadeson Park, she is a daughter of Gimmethegreenlight out of the Irish winning Muujadil mare, District Six. Last season’s Leading First Crop Sire Gimmethegreenlight had a good weekend – also siring Green Plains, the winner of the Gr2 SA Fillies Nursery at Turffontein on Saturday.

Gimme Six was a R500 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale graduate and has won 4 races with 4 places from 9 starts for stakes of R634 600.

She looks likely to stay further – pencil her name in.

Striker Goes All The Way Gr2 DAISY GUINEAS Greyville last Sunday

The mastery of Piere Strydom dominated the R600 000 Gr2 Daisy Guineas as the multiple champion jockey rounded off a great feature weekend for Mike de Kock and Sheikh Hamdan.

S

trydom repeated his SA Classic winning feat on 4 March, which also celebrated the De Kock stable’s 3000th winner on the Silvano colt Janoobi in much the same end-to-end style.

The Gauteng based Janoobi’s only previous away run had been a creditable fourth behind William Longsword in the CTS Mile on Sun Met day and he bounced back well here in class company after failing to stay the 1800m of the SA Classic last time.

Strydom said he had always felt that Janoobi would enjoy Greyville and when he saw him draw barrier gate 1 he phoned for the ride.

It’s a call that Matthew de Kock will be happy he took.

With the colt pulling and throwing his head about all the way round, Strydom made his move at the top of the Greyville straight.

He already had a smart field of his

contemporaries under serious pressure and the 5-1 shot galloped on powerfully and went on best to hold the persistent grey Secret Captain by 1,75 lengths in a time of 95,27 secs.

Zodiac Ruler was able to hold third ahead of his more fancied stablemate Copper Force.

The big ticket Horizon appeared to have every chance but was run off his feet and could only manage a 4,80 length seventh.

Strydom admitted afterwards that he was surprised when Janoobi kicked in the straight.

“He pulled me the whole way and never relaxed. But he has lots of class and he is talented.I appreciate the loyalty shown by the De Kocks in keeping me on,” he added.

Strydom made a reference to the false rail hemming in a horse drawn at 1. We thought that had been resolved after the incident of a few Sundays ago.

A R1,2 million Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 graduate, Janoobi's record is 5 wins, 2 places from 11 starts and R1 982 500 stakes.

Bred by Maine Chance Farms, he is by Silvano out of the well related unraced Rakeen mare, Shasta Daisy.

Questioned by the post-race interviewer as to whether Janoobi would stay the Vodacom Durban July trip, Strydom unhesitatingly said ‘no’.

A

Last year’s Vodacom Durban July runner-up Marinaresco is likely to have his odds cut for the 2017 running after getting up in the final stride to grab a dramatic victory in the R500 000 Gr2 Drill Hall Stakes.

popular first step prep race for many of the SA Champions Season big guns, the Drill Hall Stakes is a competitive 1400m contest and the 2017 renewal will go down as one of the hardest fought in recent memory.

At the 250m marker, any one of six horses looked to have winning chances and it was to be two Cape raiders who took the exacta honours.

Sail South and recent Senor Santa winner Champagne Haze ensured a healthy pace early with Marinaresco in midfield and switched to the inside as they came for home.

With the leaders tiring at the 400m, MJ Byleveld cheekily sent Victorious Jay for home as New Predator loomed large down the outside.

At the 200m Byleveld smelt victory and drove the son of Jay Peg hard, with Saratoga Dancer and Marinaresco looking for place cheques.

Class counted inside the 100m though with Marinaresco’s momentum carrying him into the fray.

Sandwiched between Saratoga Dancer on the rail and Victorious Jay on the outside, Marinaresco put his head down at just the right moment to win in a time of 82,55 secs.

Victorious Jay has always been lurking on the fringes and the in-form MarshallByleveld combination must have felt that they had been denied by the luck gods of a chance of repeating their feature feats of Sunday a week earlier.

Another 25-1 shot in Saratoga Dancer ran a cracker and was a nose away in third, with last year’s winner New Predator 0,35 lengths back in fourth.

With 1,20 lengths covering the first seven horses in, there are some that may question the form but Candice Bass-Robinson and her connections could not have wished for a better start

to the 2017 campaign for last term’s Champions Cup winner – who earned a ‘disappointing’ tag from the punting public when he lost his fizzle at the end of the Cape Summer.

Winning jockey Bernard Fayd’herbe rode a finely judged race.

“It’s great to ride a good horse. And once again when it comes to the tight finishes the good ones seem to get their heads down when it counts,” he said modestly.

Bass-Robinson KZN Assistant Robert Fayd’herbe said that Marinaresco had arrived early to allow him time to acclimatize.

“This win was a bonus as it was a prep run in the greater scheme of things,” he added.

Bred by Mauritzfontein Stud, Marinaresco was yet another weekend feature winner sired by Silvano and is out of the two-time winning Fort Wood mare, Gay Fortuna.

Marinaresco is a 2014 BSA National Yearling Sale graduate. He was purchased

by Mike Bass Racing for R1,3 million.

He has won 5 races with 9 places from 16 starts and stakes of R2 585 425.

It was a great weekend for the Bass-Robinson team, who saddled the Kenilworth feature double on Saturday.

What A Winter For Candice Drakenstein sire What A Winter has made a sizzling impact with his first crop and the Triple Equus champion son of Western Winter gave further warning of big things to come with a feature double at Kenilworth on Saturday.

Candice Bass-Robinson and Aldo Domeyer teamed up to give the exciting young sire and a partnership comprising owners Mayfair Speculators, Marsh Shirtliff and Bryn Ressell a great double in the R125 000 Listed Somerset 1200 and the R125 000 Listed Perfect Promise Sprint.

Both races are for 2yo’s and run over the Kenilworth straight 1200m – the only negative being the fact that the Cape trainers could only find a total of 14 juveniles for both – of which 7 runners came from the Bass-Robinson and Joey Ramsden yards.

Whether it’s a programming or population issue, remains a topic for debate.

Listed Somerset 1200

Dutch Philip was the only two-time winner in the six horse Somerset 1200, which included three raced maidens.

Aldo Domeyer had the colt relaxed at his first start over 1200m and when asked for an effort at the 300m, he stretched to win easily by a length in a time of 70,50 secs.

Justin Snaith’s twice placed Kasimir should not be long in shedding his maiden.

The son of Captain Al ran green and then switched in late to grab second.

Zodiac Jack showed plenty of pace but was well beaten into third.

Dutch Philip confirmed his status as the Cape’s leading 2yo this term and made it 3 wins with 1 place (a feature) from his 4 starts for stakes of R191 875.

A R460 000 CTS March Yearling Sale graduate, he was bred by Rex Stud, and is out of the versatile five-time winning Dominion Royale mare, Uppity Ann.

Listed Perfect Promise Sprint

Running for the same owner partnership, but in the Mayfair Speculators silks, Magical Wonderland was equally impressive when winning the Listed Perfect Promise Sprint by a similar margin in a slightly slower time.

Domeyer adopted similar tactics as in the boys race, and produced the goodlooking filly late in the race to maintain her unbeaten record and hold the interestingly named Too Phat To Fly to a length in a time of 70,87 secs.

Jannie Bekker had Rose In Bloom in attendance for most of the race and she stayed on well back in third.

A R450 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale graduate, the Maine Chance bred filly is out of the unraced Al Mufti mare, Magical Miss.

She made it a perfect 2 from 2 and took her stakes to R128 125.

What A Winter also sired recent Listed East Cape Nursery winner Fort Winter.

His progeny have already made their mark in the sales ring this year, with What A Winter yearlings fetching up to R2.8 million.

Ten of his yearlings sold with a top price of R500 000 at last week’s’ National Yearling Sale.

Breeding The CHAMPIONS

Klawervlei Stud, who are currently well clear on the South African breeders’ championship, have been enjoying an unforgettable season in 2016-2017.

15

There’s Hope Yet! Let’s face it, it was tough going at the National Yearling Sale, more so on the third day. There were those who complained that the market could not take more than 600 horses in a matter of a fortnight, and there was probably some truth in it, writes Mick Goss.

O William Longsword

The stud received notable credit at the recent Thoroughbred Breeders Awards, where Klawervlei bred and or raised horses picked up no fewer than eight Grade 1 winning awards!

Klawervlei’s success rate has been notably felt over the past twelve months following last year’s TBA Grade 1 awards ceremony.

During that time frame, horses bred by the stud won no fewer than seven Grade One races. Added to this tally, is a further Grade 1 winner bred and raised on behalf of the BBP Syndicate making it eight Gr 1 wins in all.

Remarkably, this equates to Klawervlei Stud bred or raised horses winning no less than 30% of South Africa’s Gr 1 races in the past 12 months.

This is a truly phenomenal achievement and one unlikely to be repeated anytime soon.

Among the stars to have shone for Klawervlei are: ALWAYS IN CHARGE – Tsogo Sun Gold Medallion Gr1 CARRY ON ALICE - World Sports Betting Computaform Sprint Gr1 and Cape Flying Championship Gr1 EDICT OF NANTES – Investec Cape Derby Gr1 JUST SENSUAL – World Sports Betting Cape Fillies Guineas Gr1 REAL PRINCESS – City of Pietermaritzburg SA Fillies Sprint Gr1 THE SECRET IS OUT – Allan Robertson Championship Gr1 (for the BBP Syndicate) WILLIAM LONGSWORD – Grand Parade Cape Guineas Gr1 This score includes a remarkable clean-sweep of the Cape’s Gr1 classics!

Klawervlei congratulates all the owners, trainers, jockeys and grooms connected to these thoroughbred stars.

Top Trippi Filly Sold

Highlands, a part of Ridgemont, has purchased the high-class Trippi filly Live Life for an undisclosed sum as part of a broader move to bolster their broodmare band with black-type stock.

The iconic Highlands Stud was recently acquired by the Kieswetter family’s Ridgemont Stud and spokesman Craig Carey confirmed the purchase of the 3yo.

“We raced her Western Winter half-sister Cold As Ice and have Vice Versa in training with Brett Crawford. Live Life is a bright prospect and we are thrilled to have bought her and be able to race her before she moves on to our paddocks,” he said.

Carey confirmed to the Sporting Post that Live Life would stay Trippi in training with Candice BassRobinson and is likely to be aimed at the Gr1 SA Fillies Sprint next month.

Live Life was bought for R2,5 million at the 2015 Cape Premier Yearling Sale by Rustenburg based game breeder Piet du Toit and his wife Vivia. They also bought the sale record breaker, Horizon, for R5,2 million at the same time. They race in the Live Life winning the green and khaki of Hunkydory Gr2 Sceptre Stakes Investments.

Live Life has won 5 races from 11 starts, including the Gr2 Sceptre Stakes and banked the second biggest winner’s cheque in over a century of horseracing in this country when she stormed in to win the $500 000 CTS Sprint at Kenilworth on Sun Met day.

Bred by top breeders Avontuur, she is a daughter of the smashing National Assembly seven-time winning speedster Viva. She thus hails from a top Avontuur female line.

thers complained about the sale being sandwiched between an extra-long weekend and a big race meeting, and there may be a modicum of validity there

as well.

But the actual truth lies in the state of the nation and the realities of the national economy. The world over, economists are talking about “green shoots”, yet the cabinet reshuffle and a business confidence index that plunged a whopping 7 percentage points on the eve of the sale would’ve had many an investor shoving his wallet back into his sky rocket. That political events are quickly moving towards a tipping point and a likely resolution to all the excitement, will only console South Africans in the months ahead.

The other side of the balance sheet though, was a somewhat surprising average at the sale of R303 726.00 and a total turnover of R112 075,000 which, coupled with the CTS outcome of ten days before, realised a not insubstantial combined aggregate of R153,754,000 (combined average of R310,928).

I guess most of us would’ve taken that with both hands ahead of the time, knowing the political shenanigans going into the sale and the lessons history has taught us when comparable circumstances conspired against the outcome in years gone by. Hard as it was, it was better than most of us had anticipated, and while the news will be greeted differently from farm to farm, it’s the overall resilience of the thoroughbred economy that matters in the end, because we all know it’s about swings and roundabouts, and the clouds are gathering a bit of a silver lining.

There’s at last a good bit of light

at the end of the tunnel on the export front.

Those who’ve followed the processes our task team is engaged in for the normalisation of our protocols, will know that in the eyes of the international veterinary community, our veterinarians and doctors have pretty much “nailed” the science; it’s the political battle now that will win the war. While every horseman is itching to know how far we’ve come in the discourse with potential trading partners, it’s probably as well to maintain a semblance of confidentiality at this stage, lest we forewarn those who might wish to meddle.

Suffice to say, in several jurisdictions of the world, the political and commercial will to trade with South Africa in thoroughbreds has come full circle, buoyed in no small measure by the money our bigger domestic players have spent in foreign markets and the relationships they’ve developed with major players in those realms. It helps, of course, that our horses have performed internationally as well, and it helps that historically we’ve exported close on half a million horses to various parts of the world, the bulk of them before there was any mandatory form of quarantine, without ever exporting horse sickness to any of the recipient nations.

There will be those who point to the fact that by nature, I tend towards optimism, but there will be others who are comforted by the words of Professor Ian Sanne, who returned during the week of the sale from a ground-breaking meeting in France involving the commercial development of a new set of vaccines.

While the vaccines are not independently critical to the normalisation of our protocols,

Mick Goss they will nonetheless decisively enhance the path into the future, and the mere fact that there is now a measure of international co-operation in getting these over the line, is another indicator that the world is developing a receptive response to South Africa’s export initiatives.

It is symbolic that this meeting took place in France, where the outcome of their Presidential election this past weekend was good for the future of the European Union. Our present protocol lies with the powers in Brussels, and it’s telling that a prominent French breeder just a week ago echoed his conviction that the European Union will also revisit the terms of our export relationships with them before year end.

Besides, our most recent interventions are in line with the guidelines prescribed by the OIC, the body which regulates the movement of livestock across the globe, so it seems that all the portents are realigning themselves favourably for South Africa, thanks in no small measure to the tireless work of the task team.

We know that timing in matters between governments is always about the length of a piece of string, but with the forces at work now, I would be pretty bullish that we’ll have something concrete in place

by December, in which case, it won’t matter who’s president; Guptas or no Guptas, the breeding and racing of thoroughbreds in South Africa will at long last be on its way down the “yellow brick road”.

Maine Chance Farms’ sire Silvano dominated proceedings this past week, with his progeny shining both on the racetrack and in the sales ring. A Silvano colt was knocked down to Form Bloodstock for R4 000 000 on the opening day of the 2017 National Yearling Sale. Consigned by Lammerskraal Stud, the beautifully bred colt was the top colt sold on the National Sale and the second top lot overall. His daughters Wind Chill and Oriental Oak ran 1-2 in the Gr2 Wilgerbosdrift SA Oaks, while Al Sahem became Silvano’s 20th individual Gr1 winner when winning the SA Derby. Silvano’s son Janoobi won the Gr2 Daisy Guineas on Sunday to become a dual Guineas winner.

To crown it all, Marinaresco became Silvano’s fourth graded winner on the weekend when winning Sunday’s Gr2 Drill Hall Stakes.

It was a great weekend for KZN based Scott Bros. A half sister to their Mr Greeley stallion Crusade won a Gr2 on QIPCO Guineas day at Newmarket on Saturday. Seventh Heaven drew off to take the Gr2 Dunaden Jockey Club Stakes by 5 lengths from One Foot In Heaven. Seventh Heaven, a 4-year-old by Galileo, racing for Coolmore, finished fourth in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf last year and followed that with a runner-up showing in the Gr1 Dubai Sheema Classic on World Cup night.

On Champions Day, the Scott Bros bred Talktothestars ran a storming second to Rafeef in the Gr1 Computaform Sprint.

Earlier their top stallion Mogok’s progressive son Pagoda ran a cracking second in the Gr1 SA Derby.

Easy Job

Godolphin admit they may never know the reason why Thunder Snow put on a buckjumping display at the start of Saturday's Kentucky Derby which caused him to take no part in the race, reports Racing Post. The Saeed bin Suroortrained colt, who is a son of Australianbred three-time Gr1-winning shuttler Helmet, was lauded as Godolphin's bestever Derby candidate following victories in the Gr3 UAE 2000 and Gr2 UAE Derby in Dubai. But in what Chief Executive John Ferguson described as "one of the most extraordinary things any of us have ever seen", the 3yo put in a minibucking bronco routine in the first 100 metres before being pulled up by jockey Christophe Soumillon.

Brothers In The News There are just under 100 jockeys licenced in South Africa. Only 24 of them use 17 Agents in total

Champions Day marked a Gr1 double for full brothers, Mustaaqeem and Rafeef. They were not the only pair. Al Sahem (Silvano – Alderry) won the Gr1 SA Derby and his 4yo full-brother Barbarian won an MR 70 Handicap North of the Limpopo on the same afternoon. It was Barbarian’s third win in a row at Borrowdale for owner Tim Wilkes, trainer Penny Fisher and jockey Hennie Greyling .

Godolphin’s stand-in Australian trainer Darren Beadman said he wanted the position on a full-time basis after officially replacing John O’Shea on Sunday. "This is the dream job," At Turffontein on 6 May, Andrew Fortune was Beadman told Sky Sports. "The charged with a contravention of Rule 58.10.2 thing about it is that it's not like in that he struck the horse Crystal Glamour going out and training 40 or 60 more than three times on consecutive strides. horses.

Jockey Fortune used his crop in the back hand position, however he struck this filly nine times on consecutive strides.

New Turf Carriers will sponsor the 2017 Rider Cup Interprovincial jockeys’ challenge which takes place at Scottsville Racecourse on Saturday, 9 July.

Based on the National Jockeys and Apprentice logs as at the end of May, invitations will be sent to riders from each of the provinces with the leading jockey being appointed the Captain of his team. The top three from each province will qualify with the fourth member being chosen by the team captain.

Janoobi For Dubai Rafeef For Stud

At Turffontein on 27 April, S’manga Khumalo was charged with a contravention of Rule 58.10.2 in that he used his crop with excessive frequency whilst riding the horse Purple Diamond. He was fined R4000.

At Turffontein on 1 May, Anton Marcus was charged with a contravention of Rule 58.10.2 in that he struck Walker on its head in the concluding stages of the race. Jockey Marcus signed an Admission of Guilt and was fined R5000. When deciding on this penalty, the Board took into consideration that this was accidental and that there was no intent involved.

Mustaaqeem Waiting The Call

Gr2 Daisy Guineas winner Janoobi (Silvano – Shasta Daisy) has booked his ticket to Dubai, according to trainer Mike de Kock.

The dual Guineas winner could be lengths better if he just learns to settle.

There is a chance that Saturday’s 4yo Gr1 Computaform Sprint winner Rafeef (Redoute’s Choice – National Colour) will stay in South Africa to take up stud duties. “He’s a man, he’s becoming coltish and I don’t think it will be long before he goes to stud,” predicted Mike de Kock after Champions Day.

The news that Saturday’s impressive Gr1 SA Nursery winner Mustaaqeem (Redoute’’s Choice – National Colour) could be winging his way overseas, will be a disappointment for local fans. “It would be great to have Mustaaqeem as a stallion here one day, we need National Colour’s speed, for one, but I have a feeling I will get a call to ship this one out in due course,” Mike de Kock said.

237

Galileo (Sadler’s Wells) sired a stakes double on Sunday, taking his total number of stakes winners to 237 after the Aidan O’Brientrained Winter (3 f ex Laddies Poker Two by Choisir) won the Gr1 1000 Guineas at Newmarket. The result also provided Galileo with his 64th Gr1 winner. Earlier in the afternoon, Mayfair Speculators’ Douglas Macarthur (3 c ex Alluring Park by Green Desert) won the Gr3 Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial Stakes at Leopardstown, becoming his sire’s 236th stakes winner. Galileo was also responsible for Saturday’s Gr1 2000 Guineas winner Churchill.

Callan has been nicknamed ‘Sir Smiley’ by PE’s Tara Laing, but don’t be fooled by his sunny disposition – he’s all business on the track and the young lad who has only been out of his time since January has just scored a Gr1 treble on South Africa’s Champions Day.

Callan confirms that the lessons learnt with Rafeef mean that the exciting colt, dubbed ‘The New Machine’ by Alistair Cohen, will likely be put away for a few months. “He might not look it, but he’s a giant. I think he’ll have a rest and come back later in the year and then we’ll see a really good horse,” he promises.

With the butterflies firmly out of the way, Callan partnered the high quality Fish River in the SA Fillies Nursery and Belle Rose in the Wilgerbosdrift SA Oaks. He comments with refreshing candour, “I regret taking Belle Rose down the inside. She travelled so well and she’s beaten Wind Chill before. I do think she’s better than her run and once again, she wasn’t competitive with the horses on the outside.”

Heavenly Blue, who delivered Callan’s first career Gr1 finished a creditable 3rd in the SA Derby. “He just didn’t stay,” says Callan matterof-factly, “but he ran a gallant race in third. He tried his heart out and had a beautifully run race, but just didn’t get the distance. But he’ll be back.”

Rafeef From the Derby 2450m, it was straight into the high-speed action of the Computform Sprint, where Rafeef delivered Callan’s 2nd Gr1 of the day. “I knew we were taking on Carry On Alice, but his work in the week was unbelievable. I was just hoping to run into the money, but the race mapped out really well for me. Jo’s Bond went a cracking pace and I could track her. It was so weird, I was still sitting and remember looking up expecting to see the 500m marker and saw the 300m sign. He was still going very comfortably and I thought ‘this is crazy’ and knew we had them all beat. He ran to the line really well and won like a good horse.” Delivering Gr1 wins on two full brothers for Sheikh Hamdan is particularly satisfying and Callan says, “It’s so exciting. Sheikh Hamdan has put so much into the game

here and it’s great to see that rewarded.”

Asked what the 4yo entire is like to work with, Callan says, “In his box he’ll chew your arm off, so you have to be careful, but to ride, you could put a kid on him.

And on race day, he’s even easier.

That’s his biggest attribute. He’s the calmest horse I ride and he’s an absolute professional.”

What was going through his mind with a second Gr1 in the bag? “I was thinking I hit the jackpot!” he laughs. “It's just an honor and privilege to be a part of the Mike de Kock team. They guide and teach me every step of the way which is a huge part of our success.”

His mother passed away the night before, so it was a special win for him and it was special to be part of that.”

Cloud Nine

It seems silly to ask, but what does a Gr1 treble feel like? “What do you think?” laughs Callan. “Crazy. I couldn’t believe it. Shock, disbelief, but so happy. Everyone on course was loving it, my family were all there, so that was nice. It was a really special day.”

Al Hawraa got caught deep in the Gerald Rosenberg Stakes and Callan says, “It was a difficult race for her, but she’ll improve.” He also notched a nice second on Brian Wiid’s Arpad A Special Win and closed out the card on Samarra, The Premier’s Champions who finished out of the money in the Challenge was billed a slam dunk Gr2 Camellia Stakes. for reigning Horse of the Year, Legal The trend for marathon feature Eagle and one doesn’t take on a days can make one a little weary. good Mike de Kock filly lightly, but Is it a long day in the jockey room Callan has buckets of BMT and him too? “It depends how your day and Deo Juvente are old friends. goes,” says Callan. “If it’s a good “Look, he’s a day, it goes quick. horse plagued with Tara Laing gave him his If it’s a bad day, it problems.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 12th - SUNDAY 14th MAY 2017

Quality Counts Abel Tasman, surprise winner of this year’s G1 Kentucky Oaks and daughter of Quality Road, is the latest descendant of Elusive Quality to make a name at the highest level.

E

lusive Quality was Champion Sire in North America in 2001 and is one of the top class performers descended from the champion racemare Vagrancy. Others are Breeder’s Cup winner Anees (Unbridled), Irish Oaks winner Margarula (Doyoun), Irish St Leger winner Dark Lomond (Lomond), Gr1 winners Gregorian (Graustark) and Capote Belle (Capote).

Locally we have one-time toppriced yearling Mister Hawaii (Hawaii) and Gold Cup winner Milleverof (Averof), both from the same branch descending from Vagrancy, and dual local Oaks winner Dylan’s Promise (Dylan Thomas).

Further back, Elusive Quality traces back to Frizette - also

ancestress of Seattle Slew (Bold Reasoning), Tourbillon (Ksar) and Elusive Quality’s own grandsire Mr Prospector (Raise A Native).

Elusive Quality, a high class performer who set a world record for a mile at Belmont Park, has headed the 2yo sires list in Australia and has been champion sire in Brazil. His offspring, which include G1 winners on dirt and turf, include more than 120 stakes winners, making him Gone West’s most prolific sire-son of stakes winners.

Elusive Quality’s 14 Gr1 winners include six champions, headed by Kentucky Derby/Preakness winner Smarty Jones. One of the best Kentucky Derby winners over the past few decades, Smarty Jones has been widely travelled during his stud

career. He has 26 stakes winners to his credit including the Gr1 winner Centralinteligence.

Prix Morny winner Elusive City, who is from Elusive Quality’s first crop, has been represented by 49 stakes winners, headed by French 1000 Guineas winner Elusive Wave, New Zealand champion Vespa and Gr1 winning millionaire Famous Seamus.

Gr1 Breeder’s Cup Classic winner Raven’s Pass has had success this year, with Big Duke (Gr2 Chairman’s Handicap) and French Gr3 winner and classic hope Via Ravenna.

Raven’s Pass is also responsible for some highly promising 3yo’s this year, Tocco d’Amore and Midnight Fair. Tocco d’Amore won first time out by six lengths and holds entries in both the Gr1 Investec Oaks and Darley Irish Oaks, while Midnight Fair, an eight length winner first time out, could be anything. To date, Raven’s Pass has been represented by 17 stakes winners, eight of them graded race winners.

Australian champion and Gr1 Golden Slipper hero Sepoy has Northern Hemisphere runners including Gr3 winning fillies Kilmah (Prestige Stakes) and Dabyah (Fred Darling Stakes).

Sepoy was represented by two runners in the 1000 Guineas last weekend.

Abel Tasman’s sire Quality Road looks best of Elusive Quality sire sons to date. He was an exceptional racer, whose four Gr1 victories include a twelve lengths win in the 2010 Donn Handicap.

Quality Road’s dam is a full sister to Breeder’s Cup winner Ajina (Strawberry Road). Like his sire, Quality Road traces back directly in female line to Frizette Quality Road made an exceptional start to his stud career. His first crop included Breeder’s Cup winner Hootenanny, Gr1 Gamely Stakes winner Illuminant, and multiple graded winner Blofeld. He had three Gr1 winners in 2016, and so far this year has seven stakes winners. Abel Tasman apart, they include graded winners Long Haul Bay (Bay Shore Stakes), Salty (Gulfstream Oaks) and Guest Suite (Lecomte Stakes).

His current tally of 13 black type winners should grow as the quality of his books improves.

Elusive Quality’s daughters Gr1 winner No Nay Never (Prix Morny), multiple Gr1 winning filly Guelph (Exceed And Excel), Gomo (Alciabiades Stakes), Shooting To Win (Caulfield Guineas) and Japanese champion Shonan Adela (Deep Impact).

From a few local runners, Elusive Quality’s winners include Gr1 placed Gr2 winner Merhee (AUS), Gr3 August Stakes winner Anger (BRZ), and Gr2 Natal Guineas runner-up Elusive River (AUS).

Double Scoop For Moutonshoek Stud Moutonshoek will be standing two exciting new stallions for 2017, in the form of Galileo’s Gr1 winning son The United States and Admiral Kitten.

ADMIRAL KITTEN, himself a Gr1 winner on turf, is the first son of US champion sire Kitten’s Joy to retire to stud in South Africa.

Admiral Kitten, whose four wins included the Gr1 Secretariat Stakes-a race also won by his champion sire Kitten’s Joy, was a top flight turf performer in the US who not only won the Secretariat Stakes but also ran second in the Gr1 Hollywood Derby.

He is one of more than 70 stakes winners sired by US turf champion and multiple Gr1 winner Kitten’s Joy,

who has headed US turf sires list for the past four years in a row. His top offspring include the Breeders’ Cup winners Stephanie’s Kitten, Bobby’s Kitten and Oscar Performance, with Kitten’s Joy runners having amassed over $66 million in prize money.

Admiral Kitten, who is bred on the same Kitten’s Joy/Grand Slam cross as Gr1 winner Kitten’s Dumplings, is from an outstanding family whose members include champion sires Cozzene and Fort Wood, as well as the once defeated superstar Dubai Millennium, whose son Dubawi is one of the world’s elite sires.

Admiral Kitten (by a grandson of Sadler’s Wells) is closely related to champion sire Fort Wood, with the latter being a son of Sadler’s Wells himself. This is also the family of Gr1 Breeders’ Cup Mile winner and champion sire Cozzene, whose offspring included current top class sire Mizzen Mast and the Breeders’ Cup winners Alphabet Soup and Tikkanen.

The globetrotting THE UNITED STATES was a superb racehorse, who competed at the highest level around the world.

His seven wins netted him more than $2 million in stakes, with his victories highlighted by a score in the Gr1 Ranvet Stakes –a race also won by such champions as Tulloch, Gunsynd, and Peter Pan.

The United States, also a Gr3 winner in Ireland, won or placed in 11 major feature races and competed with some of the best horses around.

Among those beaten by The United States during his racing career were the likes of G1 winners Awesome Rock, Boban, Criterion, Mongolian Khan, Sofia Rosa, Trust In A Gust, and Melbourne Cup winner Prince Of Penzance.

The United States is one of more than 230 stakes winners for Epsom Derby winner and multiple champion sire Galileo, whose other notable sire sons include top class stallions New Approach, Teofilo and the sensational Frankel. The premier sire in the world today, Galileo is responsible for the favourites in both the first two English classics,

the 2000 and 1000 Guineas, run at Newmarket this past weekend.

Bred on the same Galileo/Pivotal cross as current English classic hope and Gr1 Dubai Fillies Mile winner Rhododendron, The United States is out of the Gr3 winning speedball Beauty Is Truth, a daughter of world leading sire and top sprinter Pivotal.

He is a full-brother to recent Gr3 Ballylinch 1000 Guineas Trial winner Hydrangea. This is the same family as Gr1 Breeders’ Cup Mile winner and champion sire Last Tycoon, whose numerous high class performers include top class sires Marju and O’Reilly among many others.

Stud fees are yet to be announced for either sire, both of whom will stand his first season at Moutonshoek in 2017.

Summerhill Sale of Mares & Weanlings This Sunday 14 May

Blueridge Mountain

Most of us associate bloodstock sales with broodmares and covering sires, but there’s another dimension to these events we too often forget, and that’s the concept of a strong weanling offering that discovered its mojo when Summerhill hosted the national broodmare sales some two decades ago.

Since then, they’ve dabbled with great success themselves in the purchase of young stock at similar venues abroad, where their intuitions have yielded a fist of national celebrities, no fewer than 14 (or 33%) of them earning their stripes in Black type company.

Of course, we all know the story of their “international” sales consignees, like Horse of the Year Igugu, but it’s worth recalling the names of Hollywoodboulevard, Blueridge

Opportunity – With A Capital ‘O’ Mountain, Rich Girl, Killua Castle, Dylan’s Promise, Ilitshe, Umgiyo, Rio Carnival, Newlands, Trafalgar Legacy, Grail Maiden, Ridethebreeze, Indaba My Children and His Affidavit as well.

It’s an incomparable record, and you’d have to say they’ve either been extraordinarily lucky or they certainly can “pick ‘em”.

It’s where National Yearling selector, Kerry Jack first honed her talents, it’s where Tarryn Liebenberg came of age, and it’s where the Summerhill team developed the elusive art of not only seeing a “good ‘un” in the making, but in achieving the fulfilment of its underlying potential.

Speaking from the farm, Mick Goss assures us that he has been personally involved in the selection of the weanling entry.

“We’ve bought weanlings in various parts of the world, and while you might argue that

the shuttle sires in Australia provide a wide spectrum of choice, I have to say that you can’t beat this lot for value and we’re more than pleased with the individuals we’ll have on our sale come the middle of May. They’re as decent a bunch as I’ve seen here, and I’d be a disappointed man if there wasn’t a good sprinkling of proper racehorses among them”.

The big sale at Summerhill on this coming Sunday 14 May looks like “opportunity” with a capital “O”.

While it’s obviously the golden chance to grab a clutch of broodmare gems, history only has to repeat itself for the Summerhill offering of 80 weanlings to throw up some elite racehorses, and all it calls for is for buyers to plunge their hands into a “pipe” which has yielded more premierships than any other in modern history.

The bonus is that the old adage “the early

Killua Castle bird catches the worm” applies here, too. A timeous application for the three payment credit terms will put you in the box seat to get what you like, when you want it. ___________________________________ For a catalogue, please contact Amorette Maitre on info@summerhill.co.za or Megan Romeyn on 033 263 1081 who will be able to assist with accommodation options in the area.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 12th - SUNDAY 14th MAY 2017

A picture is worth a thousand words because the human brain functions on pictures and processes them more easily.

If information is presented orally, we retain about 10% three days later. Add a picture and that figure goes up to 65%.

Pictures convey nuances that are hard to capture with language and therefore imagery has always played an important part in human culture and development.

S

adly, our racing history is about to become a little less colourful.

It was recently announced that as of 30 April, Ricky De Nobrega, operating as the Equine Edge, will no longer be photographing our local races.

Few race goers know the lonely sentinels standing out on the rail.

We know their work – it is splashed across our media on a daily basis but I’d bet most wouldn’t know them if you passed them in the street.

Racing’s Memory Bank In racing’s heyday, there was elbowroom only with every newspaper in town sending multiple photographers to the track to ensure every conceivable angle was covered and guarantee at least one useable image. Barring a small flurry of outside interest in some of our feature days, for the most part it’s just the course photographer. These are the people who work long hours and brave the elements no matter what the weather, to ensure that every win – and every memory – for every race no matter how big or small means something to someone - is recorded.

Which means that they get to see every.single.winner. Of every.single. race. And just the act of being there means they are a remarkable living repository of our racing history.

It is difficult to do something day in and day out and not get good at what you are doing and these are skillful people who turn documentary material into art and are very proud of their work.

At an average of 750 races per year and a minimum of 5 images per race, material amasses at a surprising rate.

The digital era has made things slightly easier, but for many years, images were captured on film and developed and processed at not inconsiderable cost. Pressing a button is the (relatively) easy bit. The amassed material then needs careful editing, cataloguing, filing and storing – a mammoth job all on its own.

Lost Chroniclers Anyone who has ever tried to dredge up photographs of years gone by will know that it can be a

difficult process. Our administrators have neglected to preserve this precious resource and over the years, much of our photographic history has been lost or even just plain discarded.

Some of the earliest of South Africa’s racing imagery was taken by someone called Abe Goldstein. I only know this because he is credited for them in books charting some of our early history. Who he was – and what happened to his archive – remains a mystery (but I would be grateful if anyone has any leads!).

It is a little known fact that John Freeman did duty as Johannesburg course photographer for a number of years, but most are familiar with the two ladies from JC Photographics who now cover Joburg and Kimberley.

There are prints of beautiful, hand-coloured early July finishes in Durban’s Oyster Box. Who took them and where the negatives are is unknown. Ken Wilkins did a beautiful job in Durban for many years. He is no longer with us, but his body of work – mostly shot in black and white, but extending to those wonderful colour commemorative July photos of the winning horse and jockey posing with the sash – are all neatly catalogued frame by frame, in date order with the horse and race details listed. His handwritten catalogue is a minor work of art all by itself and the archive contains some absolute treasures for those with the time and inclination to dig around. He has been succeeded by John Lewis, Anita Akhal and Nkohsi Nhlope.

PE’s charming Wally Strydom provided sterling service for many years and remained doggedly devoted to film until the day he retired, supplying prints the old fashioned way – delivered to your door by post, carefully attached to a cardboard backing with the date and race particulars inked on the back & accompanied by a neatly handwritten invoice. Wally handed the reins to Deon Botha who sadly passed suddenly late last year and PE is now served by Pauline Herman.

My memory of Cape photographers extends as far back as Lewis Ralph, who was succeeded by Tony Mincione (who bought Lewis Ralph’s archive) and Tony was latterly joined & eventually bought out by Ricky De Nobrega.

19

Equine Edge Ricky joined Tony in around 2003 and the two had a grand vision of digitizing their archive and creating an accessible image library that could serve as an organic documentary of local horses and racing. They set up in the old weighing room at Kenilworth, supplying an on demand printing and framing service with the idea that the printing business would fund the archive. Tony did the photography and Ricky managed the logistics such as printing captions and designing layout. One day Tony ran late and Ricky had to cover the first race. Realising that he could do the photography too, Ricky had bought Tony out and owned the business outright by the time he turned 26, expanding the business to incorporate additional sidelines such as selling books and DVD’s, and even a tipping service. At one point Ricky had 9 staff employed at the track.

Highs While any business has its ups and downs, I asked Ricky to name some of his highlights over the years. “In the time I’ve been photographing racing, I’ve seen some unbelievable horses. I think I was pretty privileged to have witnessed Pocket Power and not just at Kenilworth – all over. I saw him win the Winter Series and all his Queen’s Plates and Mets. I went to Durban for the July when he dead-heated with Dancer’s Daughter. I saw Winter Solstice – he was an absolute monster. Did you know he got an invite to the Breeders’ Cup? I framed the official letter and envelope for Fiona and Joey at the time.”

“I’ve seen lots of different jockeys come and go and I’ve seen a few of them ride 5 and 6 winners at a meeting. I’ve seen lots of trainers and met some real legends in the game – the Jaffees, the Becks, the Rattrays, the Ruperts – pillars of racing. Being involved in racing you get to meet people you only read about in newspapers or the Financial Times. Working for them and being invited into their homes, you get to see the real person and their passion for their horses – not just the suit and tie. It’s a great honour and it teaches you a lot.

You learn that no matter where you come from, you can be a success.”

Have there been any standout horses?

“I did follow one SA horse that I thought was amazing – Irridescence. I went to Hong Kong in 2006 and photographed her winning the QEII Cup. Horse racing has been amazing and taken me to a lot of places,” he muses.

Does he have any special or favourite photos? “Plenty! It would be wrong to say I had one particular favourite. I’ve got loads and can’t say that there’s just one.”

Challenges “As the course photographer, you are responsible to the club as well as to the sport as a whole for recording every race. If you can’t supply a picture to owners of a winning horse, you look amateur.

And it’s a piece of history lost. The year Pocket Power and River Jetez both ran the Met, the horses were finishing over towards the rail and one of the outside photographers had the wrong lens. He knocked me over and stood in my way trying to get a shot. I managed to get one shot in the end, but it was a very wide angle and didn’t look nice.” Ricky isn’t a man of many words, but it is clearly still a sore point. However, experiences like that taught him to be prepared and the fact that he usually had second cameras and second shooters on flagship days, meant Ricky was the only photographer who got an infocus shot of Illuminator winning the 2016 CTS $1 million race.

Kenilworth is notoriously changeable in terms of the weather – has he ever been caught short? He laughs, “I remember leaving home one day, it was perfect blue skies, then out of nowhere a north-wester picked up and before the 2nd race I was literally emptying water out of my shoes – it was ridiculous!” At the other extreme, it’s just as easy to get burnt to a crisp standing out in the hot summer sun.

A story which probably falls somewhere in the middle is going to Turffontein for the inaugural Jockey International and getting to meet Frankie Dettori and the top jockeys of the day. Ricky went to endless trouble to get prints of the visiting jockeys and some of their big wins, such as Frankie on Var, and getting the visitors to autograph the photos. “I’ll never forget it. I had about 30 posters signed by Frankie, Christophe Soumillon, Kieren Fallon, you name it. They were all neatly piled on a table, then Frankie gets on the table and kicks over a drink and it goes all over the posters. The whole lot was in its chops. So I came back to Cape Town with this pile of posters ruined by watermarks. Mind you, it makes a good story,” he says good-naturedly.

“I’m definitely going to miss it. I will miss the people. I have met some really good people and appreciate the friendships I’ve shared.”

Moving on About 5 years ago, Ricky started up a sideline business in Namibian biltong and droe wors and is leaving to focus on it full time. He will be selling his photography kit as well as his photo archive, which with the Lewis Ralph and Tony Mincione archives, spans approximately 50 years of Cape racing. “I even have a few images from the old PE photographer, Graham Potter,” he reminisces. “The late Jimmy Lithgow once came down and spent a week with me pulling negatives for all the Queen’s Plates. There are beautiful photos of horses like Wolf Power, etc. I’ve got various races going back years and years. The first 35 years are all on negatives and the last 15 are digital. I’ve tried to digitize as much as possible, but it’s time consuming. Hopefully whoever takes it over has the resources to convert it.” Anyone interested in Ricky’s archive, can contact him at info@equineedge.co.za.

Racing has a poor track record of caretaking even our biggest sporting heroes. We’re quick to demand things and quick to forget the service once we have what we want, often forgetting a thank you on the way out. Our course photographers are no different. Many photos are printed sans credit, so we might never know their creator, a few may still have names attached, but with their stories untold and, ultimately, banished to obscurity. Out of sight, out of mind. If this is how we treat people making a real, tangible contribution to preserving our sport, what chance the rest of us?

Of course time passes and we all need to adapt in the face of change, but it would not seem right not to acknowledge Ricky, the wonderful work he has done and the steady, reassuring presence he has always provided. Thank you Ricky and good luck.

with Steve Furnish

Bang On Target

Out Of Favour

Turffontein 1 May They raced on the inner track on Monday where three of the nine races were staged over 1600m. The fastest of these was the bill topping MR88 Handicap in which the A P Arrow gelding TOP SHOT registered his sixth career victory. Shouldering top weight of 60kg, Gary Alexander’s charge was always handy. He ran on strongly in the short home straight and won by just over a half from the 3yo RAYDAVERIC. Very unusually they ran two events over 1500m also. The faster of these was the MR84 Handicap won by the lightly raced SIMPLY ROYAL. Making just her third racecourse appearance here, Sean Tarry’s charge adopted a change of tactics and raced from the front. Just three quarters of a length clear for most of the journey, she quickened well as they came off the strip, and despite the efforts of the running on SAMARRA, she won going away by three and a quarter.

They also ran two races over 1200m and stopping the clock in the fastest time here was the veteran TELL MY STAR. Drawn in pole position St John Gray’s charge was soon positioned close to the speed. She put her head in front going through the 300m and comfortably accounted for the running on TIMEOFTHEVIKINGS by a length and a half. The runner up came from the rear and finished well.

TITBITS

A little slow into stride when the gates opened, the 3yo JO MAMBO ran on well from midfield and won the MR68 Handicap Horses worth following at their next few starts... over 1500m going away.

Vaal 2 May Three maiden plates over 1200m got proceedings underway at Tuesday’s outside track meeting and quickest home in these was the well-tried MIRAFLORES in the girls’ division. Making her seventeenth racecourse appearance here, the daughter of Miesque’s Approval was always handy. She ran on strongly at the business end of the race and in a thrilling three way finish she got up late to deny the front running CLAREMORRIS. They also ran three races over 1600m and fastest against the clock here was AQUABUOY in the first division of the MR66 Handicap. Allowed to ease right out to 17/2 from 9/2 at the track, Romeo Francis’ charge was soon positioned close to the speed. He was ridden to lead shortly after passing the 200m marker and in another classic finish he fended off a determined challenge from the 7/2 favourite EL BOMBERO by a neck.

A MR89 Handicap topped the bill and in what proved to be the faster of the two 1000m races, we saw a smart performance from the 5yo ISPHAN. Another to ease somewhat in the betting market (9/2 out to 7/1), the son of Tiger Ridge was soon up handy. He took up the running as they approached the 400m pole and after quickly going clear he went on to score very cosily by four and a quarter.

TITBITS After having to steady for a few strides at the start, the well supported newcomer LET IT FLOW ran on well from midfield and gaining at the finish was only beaten half a length by the improving Best Kept Secret.

Beaten just a neck, the 3yo STARK was baulked for a run between the 400m-200m poles when running on stoutly from midfield in the MR68 Handicap over 1000m.

Very Promising Debut Scottsville 3 May The course was running fast in Pietermaritzburg on Wednesday, where, by far the fastest of the three 1200m races was the MR70 Handicap won by the 3yo ROCK OF AFRICA. He raced in midfield early on, but in a field which was always very tightly bunched, he was always poised to strike. He did so shortly after passing the 300m marker and after a thrilling tussle with the Western Cape Visitor CUVARA, he got the verdict by a neck.

The only other distance to stage more than one race on this card was 1400m where the faster of the two maiden plates was the boy’s affair won by SEA KING. On leaving the stalls it was the easy to back Coral Lights who elected to make the running whilst the son of Judpot raced close up in fourth. He was quickly challenged by the well-supported favourite RIVER GARDEN shortly after putting his head in front 250m out and after a titanic battle on the run to the line, he only got the verdict on the nod.

Also worthy of note on this card was the performance of the newcomer SAND AND SEA in winning a very competitive looking juvenile plate over 1200m. Backed into favouritism at the track, Dennis Drier’s charge wasn’t the quickest into stride when the gates opened and raced in midfield early on. Given a patient ride by Anton Marcus, he quickened well when given rein, and did very well indeed to reel in AL MARIACHI (raced 2nd – led 270m). One to follow.

TITBITS Detached at the rear after being slow into stride, and then cramped at the 110m, the supported favourite DARK MOON RISING was then baulked for a run 300m out before finishing third beaten just 2,75 lengths in the MR70 Handicap over 1200m.

Easy Does It Vaal 4 May

In terms of distance, the easiest victory on the inside track on Thursday was that of MEMPHIS BELLE when getting off the mark in the faster of the two maiden plates over 1000m. She got away well when the gates opened and soon up handy raced prominent throughout. She was ridden to lead shortly after passing the 400m marker and drew clear easily from there onwards to score by three and a quarter.

Another to win with authority on this card was ISOLDE in the fastest of the three 1400m events, a MR64 Handicap. Content to amble along in midfield for the first half of the race, Sean Tarry’s charge ran on best of all when given rein and after striking the front 250m from home, won going away.

They also ran three races over 2000m. The MR68 Handicap was the fastest of these

and here BONDIBLU registered her third career victory. Sent off second in the betting market at 7/2, the Sporting Post’s Roving Banker was a little slow into stride after being troublesome at the start and raced at the back.

Confidently ridden by Craig Zackey though, she quickly began to make headway when asked for her effort. She ran on best of all in the closing stages of the race and just as if scripted she got up late to deny PEG O’ MY HEART. TITBITS The uneasy favourite MISSOURI ran on well from midfield when getting up late to win the maiden plate over 1400m.

Detached at the rear after losing two lengths at the start, SEVEN SOVEREIGNS was finishing best of all when a 1,3 lengths sixth in the maiden plate over 1000m.

Flying The Flag Kenilworth 6 May The course was running fast in Cape Town on Saturday. Three of the afternoon’s eight races were run over 1000m and the fastest of these was the MR78 Handicap won by AL WAHED. One of four in a line going through the 200m, the always handy Elusive Fort gelding got the verdict by a half over the 3yo CORTADA. The faster of the two 1200m feature events for the juveniles was the listed Somerset 1200 for the boys won by DUTCH PHILIP. Sent off a well-supported second favourite at 14/10, Candice Bass-Robinson’s charge raced fourth of six for most of the journey. Only a length and a quarter off the leader though, the son of What A Winter quickly struck the front

when asked for his effort and only having to be pushed out at the business end of the race, won going away from the favourite KASIMER. The faster of the two 1600m races on the card was the MR76 Handicap won by PLATINUM PRINCE. Freely available at 8/1 on the off, the son of Silvano raced in the rear early on. He ran on best of all in the new course home straight, and won going away by two and a half from the more fancied FIRE IN THE BELLY. TITBITS Baulked for a run 400m out, MAGICAL WONDERLAND quickened nicely when seeing daylight and went on to win the listed Perfect Promise Sprint comfortably by a length.
