J&B Gr1 MET at Kenilworth on Saturday

ean Tarry-trained trained Legal Eagle is taking the same route followed to Met stardom last year by Futura, and history shows our

prestigious weight-for-age mile to be an excellent pointer to Saturday’s race.

Legal Eagle is certainly worthy of favouritism.

The Gr1 SA Derby winner earned the freedom of Cape

Town at his first start in the Mother City when he ran handily and pulverised his opposition over a distance supposedly short of his best.

He beat all his main challengers here, and the 400m extra can surely only play into his hands.

Smart Alec Recent Paddock Stakes

winner Smart Call is the only member of the fairer sex in the race and has earned her place

courtesy of an excellent prep and three confidence boosting straight wins, strategized by top conditioner, Alec Laird.

The daughter of Ideal World is a Gr1 winner at 2000m against her own sex and should be even more effective over the extra 200m after her annihilation of subsequent Majorca winner Inara in the Paddock Stakes.

She is a versatile sort who can settle or run handy, and her clash with Legal Eagle in

the final stages should make for a fascinating spectacle – if the race unfolds like that

Smart Call has massive footsteps to walk in – she will attempt to follow River Jetez (2010) and Igugu (2012) in the J & B Met - and a Breeders’ Cup date looms large later in the year.

Future ManMajor opposition to

Legal Eagle will be Futura, a magnificent entire son of super stallion Dynasty, and horse who achieved the rare LQP-Met double last year.

He has had only two runs since a cracking win in the Gr1 Champions Cup on Super Saturday.

He was tactically outpointed by the front-running Captain America in

the Gr2 Green Point Stakes, where he got to within a frustrati8ng half length of the winner.

Futura’s run in the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate was not his best effort.

He failed to react to the Legal Eagle fireworks up-front and could only stay on to grab fifth place and a length behind Captain America – which sort of confirmed the Green Point form.

Going 400m extra here, it is reasonable to assume that the Snaiths will have a tactical plan to have Futura nicely settled off a decent pace.

Law Of The LandHis stablemate Legislate

was beaten 1,50 lengths by Legal Eagle in the Queen’s Plate and has only his second

S

The 39th renewal of the R2,5 million Gr1 J&B Met looks relatively straightforward on paper. Last year’s winner Futura is fit and looks ready to go in again – if he can get to the progressive year younger Legal Eagle, whose recent sensational L’Ormarins Queen’s victory thrust him into the spotlight at the top of the betting boards.

Legal Eagle looks a worthy favourite


outing following a six month respite when beaten just under 3 lengths by Legislate in the 1800m Champions Cup.

Lest we forget that Legislate won the Cape Derby, the Daily News 2000 and the Vodacom Durban July two seasons back.

Fitter and with Piere Strydom retaining the ride, it is a foolish man that will underestimate this entire.

Unlike Legislate, there is nothing in Captain America’s impressive CV to suggest he is more effective over Saturday’s trip. Except that is, for his runner-up berth to Legislate in the 2014 Investec Cape Derby.

SuperheroCaptain America had things

go his own way when winning the Green Point Stakes, and had excuses when squeezed late in the Queen’s Plate, where he ran a 1,50 length fourth. Sansui Summer Cup winner Master Sabina has his second run in the Cape since casting a shoe and running seventh and 5,05 lengths back in the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate.

His blood picture prior to the recent official gallops was reported to be spot on, and while he is a ‘soft’ worker in view of an old tendon

injury, he is a fellow who could bounce back over a trip that he will relish. His stablemate Deo Juvente has been withdrawn as a result of an injury incurred at Milnerton training. The top six are without question the chief protagonists, but let’s take a look at the balance to see whether we can unearth a hidden gem.

Head Of The HousePaterfamilias will be ridden

by Bass stable jockey Grant van Niekerk, who suggested after his recent Gr2 Premier Trophy win that this is a horse to take seriously in the Met.

He beat Gold Onyx last time by 1,25 lengths at level weights, in a race that may produce questionable form – but Paterfamilias could only win, and win he did.

At his penultimate start, he caught the eye when chasing Captain America and Futura home in the Green Point Stakes. From a 13 draw, he wil need to enjoy some luck in the running but could prove the value as a place bet, for those who follow his jockey’s positive assessment.

Gold Class8yo Gold Onyx is the

old man of the race and stablemate to the favourite.

The son of Black Minnaloushe ran on very well in the Premier Trophy but then failed to show in what was a very strong L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate. His form over his 53 run career has always been honest and he relishes his stints down in Cape Town, where he comes good. His 15 draw is a negative.

Game BoyVodacom Durban July

runner-up Punta Arenas has not yet sparked this term and looks to have a tough task at the conditions of the race.

The 7yo son of Silvano ran a decent enough fifth in the Met last year when still racing under the Stan Elley banner and a repeat of that effort could see him burgle a place cheque.

He is as much as 6kgs better off with Light The Lights on the Gr2 Peninsula Handicap where he ran 4,30 lengths off the winner. With luck in running and a decent pace, Ian Sturgeon could get the best out of the game gelding and a place chance is not beyond imagination.

True BlueThe disappointing Helder-

berg Blue has not won a race since November 2014 and hardly looks the type to

produce a giantkilling effort come Saturday.

The son of Jet Master once beat subsequent July winner Power King ina Pinnacle Stakes at Durbanville – his peak career performance.

His recent runs in the Premier Trophy and Peninsula were not bad efforts but probably spoke more about his lack of heart and courage, than absence of genuine ability.

He did run third in the Met last year, and really should finish behind Futura again.

Pain ReliefJoey Ramsden’s magnificent

grey King Of Pain will catch the attention of the once a year punters. He has the right colour and a catchy name, but his recent form suggests that he is more ofa hopeful than anything else.

He showed his wellbeing when running on well over the 1200m for fourth in the Diadem Stakes. He was then slow away when making no show in the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate. The former Gr1 Gold Challenge winner has the class, but would need plenty to go his way.

Mac The KnifeWeiho Marwing’s Mac

De Lago boasts an MR 79

Handicap win as his top victory and, much on the lines of a Helderberg Blue, seems like one of those ‘all talk no action’ sorts, who can produce the odd decent effort.

That is demonstrated by his proximity to the top finishers in decent company but he has not won in over a year and that is the wrong mindset for a horse going in trying to win one of our great races.

The best thing in his favour is the engagement of big-race rider Anthony Delpech, who will give him every chance.

Cherry On TopThe third of the Snaith trio

is the Black Minnaloushe colt, Krambambuli.

He races in the same silks as 2013 Met winner Martial Eagle.

The 4yo was placed in the Investec Cape Derby last term but has never won anything of note and looks little more than a tactical inclusion as a possible pacemaker for his more illustrious stablemates.

Krambambuli has drawn wide at 12 and MJ Byleveld replaces Craig Du Plooy. He cannot be fancied.

Bright LightGlen Kotzen found himself

with a decent Met prospect when Light The Lights put

it all together to win the Peninsula Handicap in great style at his last outing.

The son of Western Winter, a highly promising youngster, has turned the corner since gelding and this has also allowed them to ride him differently.

His earlier form can be discounted and he can be expected to make even further improvement over the extra ground and is our best outsider in the race.

The ChoicesWhile the conditions of the

race favour the better horses, the chances of an upset cannot be ruled out – particularly with a few having come good at the right time.

There is bound to be a pace, given the size of the prize and the presence of a few who can go out and set the fractions.

Legal Eagle, Futura and Legislate are the obvious three to vie for top honours, with Legislate and Smart Call in the mix and huge runners if things go their way.

Light The Lights (only now starting to show his true ability) and Master Sabina could be the quartet kickers.

It is a rare blend of equine quality – jump aboard for the ride of your life!

he Sceptre Stakes run by the Tarry flyer was a rare blot on the copybook for a top filly – and while things didn’t work out as planned, she is

going to have to pick up her feet to pace it with the hot boys.

WonderlandCarry On Alice ran third

in this event last year by the outstanding filly Alboran Sea and in the interim turned the tables on her with a great win in the Gr1 SA Fillies Sprint.

While an automatic choice, the Sceptre Stakes ‘flop’ niggles and despite a reversion to the 1000m, we have to consider some top class speedsters.

Heading the list is Louis Goosen’s superfast Trippi 5yo Trip Tease, who missed a prep run when injured in the pens three weeks ago.

He thus has not seen race action since being beaten 2 lengths by stablemate Doing It For Dan in the Hampton Handicap on the Vaal sand on Supreme Cup day and this will not be seen as an ideal prep for his major summer target.

ForcefulJoey Ramsden’s smart

Western Winter gelding Brutal Force has hit peak speed form, winning 3 of his last 4 starts, including a great win in the Gr2 Joburg Merchants.

He was narrowly beaten at his return home over the

course and distance by Harry Lime and is bound to be a sharper fellow come Saturday.

Interestingly, Anton Marcus, who could have ridden Brutal Force, will be riding another top speedster in Dennis Drier-trained Guiness.

The Gr1 winning son of Seventh Rock was well beaten behind Harry Lime after a 15 month break and will be expected to improve plenty.

Dennis Drier also saddles Cape Merchants winner Triptique. Another smart son of Trippi, the 4yo gelding failed to kick in the Diadem Stakes when tamely finishing 4 lengths behind Lanner Falcon.

He has plenty to do off his rating of 101.

Storm WatchThe Brett Crawford-trained

Gulf Storm is improving steadily and looks to be peaking at the right time.

After a close up fifth in the Merchants, he showed to good advantage in the Diadem when flying through late for a 1,55 length third to Lanner Falcon.

Against Gulf Storm is the fact that he has never won over the Kenilworth 1000m, and does take time to get going.

Yvette Bremner with her evergreen 8yo Gr1 winner Copper Parade, who is a regular earner back home in PE.

He showed that he has lost little of his razor sharp ability, when fling up to get within a

length of Brutal Force in the Joburg Merchants.

Talktothestars shows terrific speed up the Kenilworth 1000m but tends to get overhauled late in his races.

Gavin Lerena’s persistence suggests that he may be worth another chance and he did run a superb race when a neck third behind Harry Lime last time of asking.

Johan Janse Van Vuuren’s Belong To Me failed to show at his first Cape start on L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate in his first start for 3 months.

While some way off Brutal Force at the weights, he can be expected to improve.

Eric Sands throws his 3yo Champery in at the deep end after two good wins over the course and distance. Her failure in the Sceptre Stakes against her own sex suggests she will battle here.

Snaith DuoJustin Snaith saddles a

coupling with the speedy Daring Dave looking for some improvement after an extended formless spell.

He came back from a four month break when showing little in the Merchants, but then showed a flicker of more to come when slow away and running on well for fifth behind stablemate Harry Lime last time.

He was beaten 7,80 lengths in this race last year and could be more competitive in a handicap.

Harry Lime came back to form after an extended drought with a smart win when beating Brutal Force in receipt of 4,5kgs on Queen’s Plate day. On his official rating of 97, he has some leeway to make up on the front-rankers here. Mike Bass’ stable is in hot form and he is always competitive in the feature sprints.

Tevez just failed in the Merchants when storming through late, but then ran a quiet 5,30 lengths Lanner Falcon in the Diadem. He can improve on his fourth behind Alboran Sea last year.

Stable jockey Grant van Niekerk rides the 97 rated Line Break – a son of Dynasty who has shown touches of class, but who may be outgunned

over the minimum trip on past form.

The 6yo mare Fly By Night is a Gr1 winner against the boys and has run decent races in the Diadem and the Sceptre Stakes recently. While past her explosive best, she gets Anthony Delpech back in the irons and cannot be discounted on a familiar hunting ground.

FitnessMatch fitness places

question marks against the likes of Trip Tease and Guiness and this could open the door for the recently consistent Brutal Force to maintain his positive streak.

That is not discounting the ability of the high-class Carry On Alice – whose last start looks all wrong.

Last year’s Cape Flying Championship winner Alboran Sea was acknowledged as Mike De Kock’s 100th Gr1 winner and her dual with present day Klawervlei stallion Captain Of All is one that will be remembered for many a long year.

As expected, Trip Tease, who is back for more on Saturday, led early from Happy Forever but Alboran Sea wanted to get on with things and stuck her nose in front about 400m from the line.

At that stage, the 9-2 second favourite Captain Of All was midfield and under pressure. The son of Captain Al suddenly turned his mind to the job at hand, though, and ran on strongly, getting to the filly inside the final 50m.

She was determined not to concede, though, and a fierce battle ensued with the two warriors locked together as the camera flashed.

The judges gave the nod to Alboran Sea

by a short head. They finished 1.50 lengths ahead of Carry On Alice (12-1), while Tevez (25-1) and Trip Tease (10-1) got fourth and fifth respectively.

All of the latter three return on Saturday. “I thought on the line the other horse had

got me. But the judges ruled in our favour – I’m not going to argue with them.Whatever happens from today, she’s only going to improve,” said Weichong Marwing.

We have subsequently learnt that Alboran Sea, a daughter of European Horse Of The Year and leading sire Rock Of Gibraltar, is among the top class mares in foal to Soft Falling Rain.

Interestingly, the resultant foal will be inbred to unbeaten sire legend Danzig, a pattern which has produced more than 30 G1 winners the world over.

Bred by Rosemont Stud in Australia, Alboran Sea was a AUS $105 000 buy at the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale.

Future Speed

The R1 million Gr1 Cape Flying Championship provides a nice variation of high-class speed on the Met day programme and the weight-for-age conditions makes it a mouthwatering spectacle for the purists. Carry On Alice’s last below-par run throws the race wide open.

J&B Gr2 JET STAYERS at Kenilworth on Saturday

SUMMER JUVENILE STAKES (Listed) at Kenilworth on Saturday

ustin Snaith has embarrassed his colleagues with his 2yo strike rate this terms and it is hardly surprising that only Mike

Bass, Glen Kotzen and Paul Reeves, amongst his local colleagues, are willing to take him on.

Snaith saddles three of the nine runners, and two of the only three winners in the 1000m race. And ironically the only other winner was beaten by a Snaith runner first time out – so Justin will have a line on that one!

Bernard Fayd’herbe has opted to ride Var Ahead, a runaway odds on debut winner in decent time beating Mount Keith by 3,50 lengths on 15 December. With the necessary improvement, this fellow should challenge for the lion’s share of the stake.

His stablemate Sergeant Hardy beat On The Right Path a fortnight later in much the same circumstances. The son of Captain Al will be ridden by S’manga Khumalo, and the duo should fight this out.

Watch BettingThird of the Snaith trio is

the unraced Bishop’s Bounty, a R1,4 million full brother to the top-class Brutal Force and Red Ray. Red Ray won first time of asking over the

Kenilworth 1200m, while Brutal Force went a close second at his first time up.

Piere Strydom rides the first-timer for Michael Leaf – and as we learnt in last Saturday’s Cape Derby, riding arrangements mean little when Striker is involved!

Mike Bass saddles the Noordhoek Flyer filly Felicity Flyer, who was beaten by the Snaith’s The Merry Widow on debut.

She then came out and ran on strongly at prohibitive odds to beat Rebel’s Burst in convincing style – also over 800m.

She will appreciate the extra and must be considered.

VisitorThe PE visitors have had

some fair success in this event over the years and Yvette Bremner travels with the Sail From Seattle colt, Pacific Spirit.

The unraced Ascot Stud-bred 2yo must have shown something in work to justify the 1000km road trip sweat, toil – and expenses. Betting will be the best guide – and the family are fast.

Rasta Rebel represents the Paul Reeves yard and the son of Rebel King was outpaced on an unfancied debut when fourth out of six and 5,35 lengths behind Elevated over 1000m.

There is nothing to suggest that he would have come on enough in three weeks to challenge the top guns.

KotzenGlen Kotzen, who has tasted

success in this race, travels from the beautiful Woodhill Racing Estate with a trio of runners, headed by debut second placer, Mount Keith. Oratorio’s grandson was not supported in the betting and ran green before being easily beaten by Var Ahead.

He bolted at his scheduled next start when fancied to win in a small field – and frankly looks likely to need a bit further to show his best.

First up is the once raced Kahal filly Shizam, who had no luck on debut – she had the misfortune to bump the boom galloper The Secret Is Out – and was also bumped in running.

She could improve in the place money and earn some early black-type here.

Her stablemate Final Judgement is a Judpot filly bred by Varsfontein Stud. She hails from a winning damline and the betting should be watched as an indicator as to her prospects.

It looks a straight shootout between Var Ahead and Sergeant Hardy. Watch the betting on the well-bred Bishop’s Bounty.

J

The Cape field sizes are under pressure – even on Met Day when one would think that every owner would want a runner. Just nine youngsters line up in the R150 000 Listed Summer Juvenile Stakes – and maybe it is the Snaith factor that has frightened them all away.

ut that is all very well if we are not concerned with finding a winner and by the time they are loading, we need to have taken a closer

look at the sixteen horse field. Being a staying handicap, we can expect an upset – and given the trip and factors at play, anything can happen.

PeachyLike last year when Mike

De Kock trained Kingston Mines was given a peach of a dictatorial ride by Gavin Lerena to win a cracker when beating local staying star Coltrane.

Both are back in this year’s renewal, where the event is positioned slightly earlier on the changed programme, and forms the final leg of what should be a bumper Pick 6.

Pine Princess and Kingston Mines represent the De Kock yard and both rank as serious candidates.

The good filly Pine Princess ran a cracker when fifth and only 4,15 lengths back in the Gr1 Paddock Stakes, behind Smart Call. She tries the ground for the first time but her courageous victory in the Gr1 SA Oaks attests to the fact that she may well be crying out for more

ground at this stage of her career. She is widely drawn, which will count against her. Kingstone Mines has earned his topweight and after his good win in this race last year, followed up with a victory in the Gr3 Caradoc Gold Cup. He has never won again but enjoys this venue and could be ready to bounce back after a decent effort in the Cape Summer Stayers last time.

Dean DoubleDean Kannemeyer’s pair of

Hot Ticket and Solid Speed are both capable stayers, with the latter appealing more in view of his more positive recent form. Solid Speed bounced back from an unplaced run in the Gold Cup (where he went lame)and a five month rest to beat Catside Slew in an MR 94 Handicap over a mile – a distance seen as way short of his best. He ran an excellent third in the Gold Vase and if his wide draw at 15 doesn’t spoil his prospects he could be a massive runner.

Hot Ticket finally gets his chance over his correct trip and his recent pipe-opener was a pleasing one, as he stretched nicely and stayed on well.

The son of Silvano is the class in the race, and will make them all gallop if he turns up well.

Ramsden RunnersJoey Ramsden is a master

of staying prep and he saddles the always gallant Coltrane and the stakes winning filly Gallica Rose.

Anton Marcus rides Coltrane, who can be considered an unlucky loser of this race last year when he ran on too late off a half-pace. He ran on when caught a bit flat footed in the Cape Summer Stayers last time and must go into calculations.

Gallica Rose made no show in the Paddock Stakes but runs from a decent draw and is a class stayer on her day.

She tries the 2800m for the first time.

Bass DuoMike Bass saddles Winter

Classic winner Royal Dreamer and the consistent My World.

It could be a shrewd move to include Royal Dreamer, who steps up in trip after his no show in the Peninsula Handicap. Well drawn at 3, he could be a contender if things go his way and he reproduces that electric turn of foot.

My World is always thereabouts and could the extra ground after running on too late in the Summer Stayers over 300m shorter.

Certainly a race to go wide in the exotics!

BThe R400 000 Gr2 J&B Jet Stayers is the round-the-course staying spectacle that captivates the attention of racegoers on Met Day. With the jump in front of the stands, the visual impact is second to none.

The classy Solid Speed won a

cracker over the mile last time

CTS MILLION DOLLARat Kenilworth last Saturday

alking about keep-ing the money at home! And what a race for anybody who feels that racing has become a rich

man’s game, dominated by wealthy men in suits and big powerful yards with telephone number buying power.

That sentiment was put to the sword by a small Milnerton-based operation, a low-key hardworking young apprentice jockey and a pair of ‘working class’ owners, who invested the

“We are thrilled and it hasn’t quite sunk in yet. We were happy to have Heavelon on board after Weichong Marwing cried off ill, as the youngster has won twice on him already. We couldn’t be too confident as there were some decent horses in the race. What a feeling!” he said. The race, for 3yo’s and restricted to eligible graduates of the 2014 Cape Premier Yearling Sale held on 23 and 24 January 2014 and the 2014 CTS March Yearling Sale held on 22 and 23 March 2014, attracted a maximum field of sixteen, and included Gr1 and Gr2 winners.

Cape Fillies Guineas sensation Silver Mountain was backed into favouritism, and looked a winner as she stormed through from a far handier position than usual, at the 200m, and shrugged off a determined Victorious Jay. But the young Van Der Hoven

Working Class Heroes!

A terrific advert for racehorse ownership and a remarkable hometown victory for the working classes had the champagne corks popping at the inaugural running of the CTS Million Dollar on the Investec Day Of Dreams at Kenilworth on Saturday. The race was called in exemplary fashion by visiting UK race-caller Richard Hoiles.

best R180 000 they could ever dream of, when lashing out to buy a Trippi colt at the 2014 Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 2.

Former jockey and a member of a famous Cape racing family, Glen Puller, who has been training since 1994, celebrated the biggest day of his racing career when saddling Illuminator, who won a cracker when flying up the wide outside under 23 year old apprentice Heavelon ‘Heavy’ Van Der Hoven.

Van Der Hoven only rode two

winners last season and has notched up a vastly improved 8 this term, with a rather ordinary strike rate of 6%. But judged on today’s ice cool exhibition, as he switched his mount out wide at the 400m, he deserves to be riding much better horses.

“It is my third horse and we are really ordinary small-time working-class owners,” said Scotland-born co-owner Francis Carruthers, when contacted by the Sporting Post after the race. He owns the history-making winner in partnership with Ian Robinson.

was riding for his life and he got Illuminator home by 0,75 lengths in a time of 86,21 secs to a massive roar from the crowd. And what a lovely touch to see Glen Puller’s celebrated former champion jockey brother Garth hug him and plant a kiss on his forehead at the lead-in.

The stakes were converted at a rate of 16,785 and the winner thus banked a hefty R8 392 500. Second placed Silver Mountain, beaten with every chance, took home R3 357 0000, with third finisher Victorious Jay paid R2 517 750.

Fourth placed Seventh Plain, had the draw to overcome but earned R1 678 500, while even the fancied KZN challenger Exit Here didn’t go home empty handed in fifth with R671 400 earned for the Fire Racing Trust and Markus Jooste.

Bought at the 2014 Cape Premier Yearling Sale for just

R180 000, Illuminator took his earnings to an unbelievable R8 526 875. Illuminator, a son of Trippi (what a day for him!) is out of the five-time winning Al Mufti mare, Pacific Lights.

He was bred by Klawervlei Stud and was registering his third win, with two places, from six starts. Cape Thoroughbred Sales have just wound up a highly successful Cape Premier Yearling Sale at the CTICC, so buyers eager to source potential graduates for the next series of richly endowed incentive races will home in on the upcoming March Yearling Sale.

That will be staged at Durbanville on the 19th and 20th March 2016 – expect Messrs Puller, Carruthers and Robinson to be attending with broad smiles and a humble sense of knowing that racing fantasies can come true….

What a happy story for ordinary folk!

12 SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 29th - SUNDAY 31st JANUARY 2016 SPORTING POST •

Sands Of Time is our flashback to racing news and events of twenty years ago. It is published monthly in diary format on www.sportingpost.co.za

Wine fundis talk about vintage years, those seasons which bless connoisseurs with an exceptional product. Racing

has its vintage years, too, and 1992 was one of them. The foal crop born that year, while not producing one standout

champion, did yield a whole bunch of highly talented performers, horses that have swept almost all before them

whenever they have taken on other generations.

ands Of Time: 25 - 31 January 1996

a Fabulous has always been close to the best of that legendary class of ’92, and on 27 January he was rewarded for his consistency when he romped away with the J&B Met.Not only did he win the Kenilworth showpiece, but ran out one of its

easiest winners in recent memory. The race was widely considered to be wide open, until a deluge of late support for National Emblem saw the Gauteng visitor firm in to 3/1 favourite. La Fabulous, favourite at one stage of the ante-post proceedings, was allowed to go off at 7/1, despite being perhaps the best handicapped horse in the race, and certainly weighted to finish in front of National Emblem.

No CrawlThe early pace in the Met was not fast, but

nor was it quite the crawl that some appeared to think. Carolera, much as expected, was the early leader by a couple of lengths from Bushmanland and Dupa Dice, with Rusty Pelican soon improving position between the turns. La Fabulous was nicely poised some five lengths back on the fence, with National Emblem’s jockey Michael Roberts electing to wait the best part of ten lengths back. Carolera was still going easily in front as they turned for home, with Rusty Pelican now up in second ahead of Dupa Dice and Bushmanland. La Fabulous was still waiting to pounce, but he didn’t hesitate for much longer. He quickly made ground along the rail, and headed Carolera just past the 400m mark. With nothing much really making any progress in the sprint home, the race was his. Carolera was

True Pleasure is Rare

game as ever, but she simply had no answer as La Fabulous opened up a quick lead and kept going all the way home to win by 2.25 lengths.

Carolera easily held on to second place, two lengths ahead of her fellow Gauteng raider Dupa Dice, with Eldoriza flying up from a mile back to finish fourth.

Met FirstLa Fabulous, who has been in the care of

Clairwood trainer Vaughan Marshall since the last Natal season, has now won nine of his 22 career starts. The J&B Met was the first Graded Stakes win for La Fabulous.

Ironically, in a sense, the very fact that he had never won a major event before contributed greatly to his success on Saturday, for it gave him the pull in the weights which enabled him to comprehensively beat horses roughly his equal in terms of merit. Everything just went right for the former Port Elizabeth campaigner. The moderate pace didn’t place any undue demands on his vaguely suspect ability to stay a true run 2000m, and the gap along the rail stayed wide open, almost inviting jockey Robbie Fradd to take it. That he did, without blinking, and with the best possible outcome!

La Fabulous was bred by his owners Peter and Val Fenix, who must be delighted and relieved that the Met winner’s dam was one of a handful of mares they retained when they dispersed the bulk of their breeding stock a few years ago. La Fabulous is by the Danzig stallion Lustra out of the USA-bred Accipiter mare Amanzimtoti, who was acquired for R30,000 by the Fenixes at the Scott Bros Dispersal Sale in 1990.

Conman Fools Them

Natal trainers certainly made merry at Kenilworth on Saturday. Vaughan Marshall captured the big prize with La Fabulous and Herman Brown turned a frustrating Cape season around when Conman captured the R75 000 J&B Reserve Stayers Handicap over 2800m.

Conman was easy to back at 8/1, which was a shade surprising as he had finished right with market leaders Hill Station and Gee C in the IGN Gold Plate at the same venue three weeks earlier. It was Hill Station who showed the way early, but he was soon joined and then passed first by Phantom Dealer and then by Bookin Case, who had been chased through the field after a slow start. Hill Station, surprisingly, was already beginning to feel the pinch as Bookin Case and Phantom Dealer led through the 1000m, and turning for home it was clear that the 5/2 favourite would play no part in the finish. Market rival Gee C, meantime trailed the field at least 20 lengths off the pace.

The frontrunners soon faded once in the straight, and Stuart Randolph and Conman were quick to stake their claim. He shot clear racing into the last 300m, and there he remained. Fellow Natal visitor Coastal Rula briefly threatened to make a race of it when he loomed up along the far rail, but he could make no real impression on Conman. Herman Brown’s seven-year-old doesn’t lack for stamina, that we know full well, and he just kept on rolling to beat Coastal Rula by 2.5 lengths.

Francini stayed on to finish third, with his stable companion Gee C arriving on the scene much too late and having to settle for fourth place. Hill Station showed nothing like his IGN Gold Plate form and trailed in twelfth of the 17 starters.

Conman, who was posting his first success since he captured the Woolavington Handicap at Milnerton in October 1994, made it a good day for owner/breeders who support Natal stallions. Owner/bred La Fabulous was sired by Summerhill Stud resident Lustra, and Conman was bred by owners B.J. and K.B. Jenman and is by veteran Scott Bros stallion Concertino. He is out of the UK-bred High Top mare Topvari, dam also of current top division performer Hierarchy. The J&B Reserve Stayers Handicap marked Conman’s eighth lifetime success from 56 starts.

Thunder ‘n Lightning

The tail end of the Cape season has been kind to horses with their roots in the Eastern Cape. La Fabulous’ splendid J&B Met triumph was plainly the highlight, but his erstwhile stablemate Qualify wasn’t to be completely outdone and recorded his first Stakes victory when winning the Natfed Millionaires Stakes over 1100m at Milnerton on Wednesday, 31 January.

Shoe Express was a red-hot favourite to win this handicap despite not having raced since he finished fourth in the Gilbey’s Stakes last June. Vaughan Marshall’s gelding was a winner everywhere but the post, and

might have held on had he not shifted out sharply coming off the false rail. Prominent from the start, Shoe Express took over from leader Up To Tricks racing inside the last 400m and went clear under what looked to be an easy ride, but there wasn’t much left in the tank when Shoe Express came under pressure close home. Mark Khan had kept Qualify in touch with the leaders throughout and they ran on just too strongly and snatched a short head verdict from the favourite.

Shoe Express clearly ran nowhere near his best. The proximity of Flames in fourth place, beaten some two lengths, must prove that beyond much doubt.

Flames, at the age of seven, still does most of his racing in the C Division and can boast a career record of three wins from 63 starts. Still, Qualify has always looked a talented sprinter, and he did finish 2.5 lengths second behind Ashtontown in the Cape Nursery last May. The Alan Greeff-trained three-year-old is the first South African Stakes winner sired by the Storm Bird stallion Thunder Cat, whose first local crop Qualify represents. The NATFED Marked his fifth career win from twice that number of starts, and took his earnings to R116 925. The seventh foal and fifth winner of the Brer Rabbit mare Dolphin (who scored twice up to a mile), Qualify was also responsible for trainer Alan Greeff’s biggest career success since he took over from his father Stanley earlier in the current season.

IN Decembe r 2014, a prognosis from his orthopaedic surgeon that he could be wheelchair-bound in under five years, forced the Tellytrack legend to make a potentially lifechanging decision to undergo knee replacement surgery. The operation was an unqualified success.

“I was so heartened by the support I received – mainly from leading owners – 12 months ago. It showed that – while racing is often viewed as a jealous and back-biting sport – when he chips are down there are many who will rally to a cause.”

“The perfect example is Paul Lafferty with the amount raised for his appeal – for an illness much more serious – showing what great affection so many people have for the popular trainer/presenter.”

“Happily, Laff appears on the road to recovery which is great news for not only his close friends and family, but also for the sport of racing.”

Molly had a meeting with his surgeon a fortnight ago and what he told the old man ‘was quite alarming’.

“I have done 300-plus knee ops – including many Springboks – but yours was the biggest worry due to the poor state of the knee due to football injuries when you were young. I’m just hoping the next op goes as well,” said the top surgeon. Molly will be at the Met on Saturday, no doubt in that J&B Dreamcoat Blazer!

It has been close on a year since the South African horseracing industry rallied in support of award winning media man Dave Mollett’s knee replacement surgery and the word is out that Molly goes in for his right knee on Monday 2 February.

Molly – Second Knee Appeal

s always, viewing was excellent and with the red-hot tempera-tures outside, it was lovely to be in the cool of the convention centre. It was great

to see the overseas buyers out in force and to have the Coolmore operation taking an interest in our racing.

I was lucky enough to stay at the Taj Hotel in Cape Town. I cannot recommend a better place to stay, whether it is for business or just a holiday. The build up to the sales is always fun with plenty to do: cocktail parties, etc. but in the end it is the horses that count and they certainly pulled their weight in the sales ring. The race day itself was extremely special with top quality racing.

AMSDEN’SAMBLINGS

AGood Racing

Inara won the Grade 1 Majorca in fine style and it was fantastic to have Mike Bass on course. The Investec Cape Derby was won by It’s My Turn. I am not sure it is the strongest Derby we have ever had but a winner is a winner and well done to the Snaith’s. However, the piece de resistance was Glen Puller winning the Million Dollar Sales race with Illuminator for loyal owners Francis Carruthers and Ian Robinson.

He was ridden by unknown apprentice Heavelon van der Hoven after Weichong Marwing was stood down – a dream come true for Heavelon. Illuminator was not an expensive purchase and it just goes to show all the naysayers that racing is not just for the rich and there is

plenty out there for everyone. Well done to Glen and all the connections.

Quiet WeekApart from the Australian

Open, with all the big shots still in as we speak, we have the J&B Met coming up this weekend. It is wonderful to have a quiet week leading into it. One is able to sit down and catch one’s breath after the sales and move quietly into the big race day itself with less distractions to worry about. It looks to be an extremely wide open event, despite the fact there are numerous top quality individuals involved. There is no reason why this year a filly cannot win it either.

Lovely GirlfriendWe have international

jockey, Umberto Rispoli, riding on the day. He did not

impress me when he came over for the International Day a couple of years ago, riding under the Italian flag. Maybe he has found a few lengths under the French flag? On the bright side, he did have an extremely attractive girlfriend so maybe there is something to look forward to! Manchester United continue to bore the socks off everyone and please God let it be a short time before Mr Louis van Gaal is moved along, as my father would say. I don’t think any of us can take it anymore.

Met DayHere’s hoping it is a

successful day’s racing on Met Day. It is not quite as top quality this year as in previous years with a number of Grade 1 races having been taken away. However, The Cape Flying Championship looks a strong race and we must have a chance with Brutal Force. Commonly known as “Fatty” in the yard, he seems in fine form. Fingers crossed he gives of his best.

Read the whole story on www.joeyramsden.com

It was a fantastically run CTS Yearling Sale which produced record results and probably the best line up of yearlings we have seen in this country – not just pedigree wise but the yearlings themselves. We managed to secure a few which was no mean result by any standard as it was tough out there, writes Joey Ramsden.


Investec Gr1 CAPE DERBY at Kenilworth last Saturday

Klawerveli Gr1 MAJORCA STAKES at Kenilworth last Saturday

here has never been any doubt as to Strydom’s genius and when the multiple champion produced Black Arthur with a sensational late

dash up the inside rail to win the Gr3 Politician Stakes a fortnight earlier, the Derby was on the cards.

For reasons unknown to us, Strydom then found himself jocked off Black Arthur – and after Prince Of Wales

he Drakenstein Stud bred colt Silver Coin fetched R6 000 000 on the first day of the Cape Premier Yearling Sale and the top farm’s draft of 9 youngsters sold for a gross total of R17.1 million, making the farm the CPYS’s

leading vendor by average price.Sponsored for the sixth consecutive year by

Klawervlei, the Majorca Stakes is one of the most important weight-for-age races for the fairer sex on the racing calendar and the race was dominated by two high-class 4yo’s as expected.

KZN challenger Same Jurisdiction was sent off in the red and was expected to spoil Inara’s Majorca double bid, a feat that had not been achieved since Donatella in 1999 into 2000.

And when Anton Marcus produced a cruising Same Jurisdiction between runners at the 350m marker, it looked to be race over – but Grant Van Niekerk and Inara had other ideas and the pair swept past Same Jurisdiction as if

was scratched, the Snaiths stuck him on the lightly tried It’s My Turn, who runs off a modest rating of 87.

That was the beginning of the fairytale.

“Jono (Snaith) phoned me and said we must run It’s My Turn as Investec were flying owner Fred Crabbia out for the race and it was important that he has a runner,” recalled Justin Snaith afterwards.

Strydom was fresh out of Meydan just 48 hours earlier, but showed no signs of jet lag

as he had the magnificent, albeit unfancied, son of Dynasty hard against the steel some ten lengths off the gallop set by Kemal Kavur early on.

Kemal Kavur continued to gallop strongly as Liege challenged into the home run, with Strydom looking for a run behind Royal Badge about 12 lengths behind the pacemaker, who had taken the shortest route home down the inside rail.

With Royal Badge shifting

out under pressure, Strydom was closer to the outside rail, and opted for that route as It’s My Turn found a powerful finish. Just as fate had forced him take the inside rail on Black Arthur two weeks earlier, he had committed to the outside rail today and was taking his chances.

With Kemal Kavur under a drive of a ride and still leading at the 200m, It’s My Turn loomed wide and stormed into the lead.

The picture for the places changed dramatically inside the final stages as Cape Guineas runnert-up Brazuca found his stride and made up lengths to nab second, just ahead of a flying Marinaresco.

Black Arthur failed to produce his spark as

anticipated and was relegated to fourth, heading the game Kemal Kavur in the last stride.

It’s My Turn got a well deserved verdict to clock 124,03 secs, and beat the strong finish of Brazuca by 2 lengths. The winner and third placed runner were both drawn wide and proved the fair nature of the Kenilworth 2000m. Jockey Piere Strydom modestly attributed it all to ‘sheer luck’ as he recounted the sequence of events that found him on the 16 to 1 shot.

“The horse has improved and we enjoyed a nice pace with a headwind to help us in the home run. I wanted to track a few horses through and when I found my way blocked I didn’t want to ease

him at the 500m. So I went to the centre and then to the outside. He feels like an out-and-out stayer. Thanks to the Snaiths and it’s been ages since I rode a winner in the Crabbia silks,” he said.

An elated Justin Snaith said it ‘was amazing how this game works out’, as he basked in the afterglow of his third win after Russian Sage (2008) and Legislate (2014).

A R400 000 National Yearling Sale graduate, It’s My Turn has won 2 races with 3 places from 5 starts for stakes of R700 325.

He was bred by Willempie Engelbrecht jnr and is by perennial classic producer Dynasty out of the rather modest one-time winner Jallad’s Queen (Jallad).

TSensational sire Dynasty won the Gr1 Cape Derby in 2003 and produced his third son in five years to win the great race when the genius of Piere Strydom prevailed to deliver the Justin Snaith-trained It’s My Turn in an extraordinary tale of fate and good fortune.

she was standing still to win by 0,75 lengths in a time of 99,68 secs. The year older Diadem winner Lanner Falcon showed her versatility by flying up late to grab third, ahead of gallant Gauteng challenger Bichette.

So the top three raced in the Drakenstein blue, with the outstanding farm breeding first and third – both trained by Mike Bass and by their leading sire, Trippi – whose son Illuminator produced the winner of the CTS Million Dollar. And for winning jockey Grant Van Niekerk it was a sentimental moment – it was Inara on who he recorded his first ever Gr1 winner just twelve months earlier.

Both Inara and Lanner Falcon are daughters of Drakenstein’s hugely successful sire Trippi, whose son Illuminator won Saturday’s CTS Million Dollar on the same card.

Inara is out of the Shirley Heights mare Mountains Of Mist.

Inara has now won 6 races (3 of which are Gr1’s) from 16 starts with 7 places and stakes of R2 653 125.

Just days after selling the highest priced yearling in South African history, Drakenstein Stud owned runners finished 1-2-3 in the R1 million Gr1 Klawervlei Majorca Stakes at Kenilworth on Saturday.

K E E P I N G Y O U O N T R A C K SHORT HEADS29th - SUNDAY 31st JANUARY 2016 SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 29th - SUNDAY 31st 29th - SUNDAY 31st JANUARY

There are some familiar old SA names amongst the list of horses ready to move from Mauritius to go showjumping in Madagascar: Midnight Master, Gemmayze Street, Prince Alwahtan, La Foce, Highland Jet, Barney Barnato, Ritz Cocktail, Storm Alterno, Spacebeam, King Fahiem, Laser Bolt, Grand Baie, Piquet, Skywalk Luke, Censored, Mining Prospect, Mo Ichi Do, C Major and Keep Walking.

CTS Million Dollar winning apprentice Heavelon van der Hoven will have his

winning commission of R630 000 held by the SA Jockey Academy until he comes out of his time. That esteemed institution of learning

refuses to divulge what percentage they will retain. That’s a poor refl ection of every

individual involved.

The organisers of Siena’s famed ancient bareback horse race are apparently not willing to alter the spectacle for anyone – not even her majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The organisers of the Palio announced they have turned down an invitation to take part in the Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations for fear they would become “puppets in an artifi cial, choreographed show”.

Do Racecourses Really Get Opened?Hereford racecourse - controversially closed by owners Arena Racing Company in December 2012 - is to reopen for business in October. Hereford was shut in 2012 after 241 years of racing - the fi rst recorded meeting there was in August 1771. ARC director of external aff airs Susannah Gill said the decision “shows our commitment to all racing”.

Two leading Australian trainers have been banned after their horses failed drugs tests. Melbourne Cup winner Mark Kavanagh was banned for three years and Danny O’Brien for four over the use of cobalt chloride, which exceeded permitted levels, according to Racing Victoria. Kavanagh, who won Australia’s biggest race in 2009 with Shocking, and O’Brien are appealing against the verdicts.

Dazzling DynastyIt’s My Turn’s Gr1 Cape Derby win made it a third victory in the great race for his sire,

who won it himself in 2003. Dynasty has eight Gr1 winners to his credit, with sons Irish Flame, Legislate and Futura having all been awarded South Africa’s Horse Of The Year title.

Roar Of The PoorCall it being blinded by science, baffl ed by veterinary terminology or just plain information overload, how many punters went cold on Sun Jewellery in Sunday’s Hong Kong Classic Mile because of his apparent status as a “roarer”? The relatively common ailment is due to progressive paralysis in the throat, which results in breathing diffi culties as the airways become partially blocked under duress, Sun Jewellery won, by the way!

It was a day of fi rsts at the Kangaroo Island race meeting on Saturday when husband and wife jockey team Jordan and Jemma Frew came within one win of riding the card. Kangaroo Island is “about an hour” on the ferry from Adelaide and hosts a handful of meetings each year.

Lane’s End Farm have announced that breed-

shaping sire Kingmambo has been euthanized at 26 due to

the infi rmities of old age. The infl uential stallion stood

his entire career at the Kentucky operation and was pensioned from stud duty

in 2010. Kingmambo will be buried at Lane’s End.

Faugheen warmed up for the defence of his Cheltenham Champion Hurdle title with a comfortable victory in the Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown. The eight-year-old is odds-on favourite to retain his title in March and won by 15 lengths under jockey Ruby Walsh


CTS Cape Premier Yearling Sale

The CTS Cape Premier Yearling Sale set the scene with its glam inner city setting. I persuaded some racing newbies to come along and take a look around and they came home full of wonder at the beautiful horses, the exciting atmosphere and the crazy prices.

I just have to make a quick mention of Ann Dalton and her team, who make sure that the yard runs like clockwork. The catalogue goes from strength to strength and congratulations are due to the selection panel as well as to the breeders for producing their yearlings to perfection – no mean feat so early in the year.

The reputation of the sale and its graduates as well as the famous hospitality of the organisers have ensured that the sale has grown in prominence on the international racing calendar and the results prove that visitors aren’t here simply out of curiosity, with the China Horse Club in particular, an eye-catching new addition to the buyer’s list. And of course we were treated to the record-busting sales results that we have come to expect from one of the most explosive sales on the national calendar.

‘Sales week’ is also ‘Met gallops week’. It also falls during the run up to the Dubai World Cup Carnival. With so much going on, plus the new-look racing programme with the Cape Derby, Majorca Stakes and South Africa’s first Million Dollar race forming the brand new Investec Day of Dreams, CTS have turned a racing week into a racing spectacle par excellence and, if I may be so bold, a marketing exercise of the highest order.

The carnival atmosphere started building with the arrival of the yearlings on Monday and saw its first spike among the little knot gathered at the Tellytrack stand on Thursday night when Harry’s Son ran a very exciting second for Paul Lafferty on his Dubai Debut and of course, Sanshaawes’

win for Mike de Kock in the District One Trophy Handicap. The sale always produces its share of fireworks and duly delivered with two brand new SA sale records when Markus Jooste procured an early birthday present in the form of a R6 million Silvano colt from Drakenstein Stud and Tina Rau and Coolmore, went to R5,25 million for Klawervlei’s Captain Al filly out of Secret Of Victoria.

Visiting auctioneer Grant Burns brought down the gavel down on both lots and I’m sure he’ll be back again very soon. Day two was equally pulse-racing with several more hefty price tags before the last page of the catalogue was turned and the gavel fell for the last time.

Dream BigThe last of the yearlings were

still leaving the CTICC as the CTS team put the finishing touches to the brand new Investec Day of Dreams.

I’ll confess I had my reservations. I was not chuffed to have the Derby and Majorca rescheduled and I am not a fan of restricted races, particularly when the prize money for a non-black type race eclipses one of our most important Gr1 races 8 times over. However, I was about to be handed a big fat surprise as I loved the day from start to finish.

It was a perfect summer’s day and everyone who came to town for the Premier Sale simply changed venue and congregated at Rosmead Avenue on Saturday after-noon.

The car park was full and the course was buzzing. Investec were rumoured to have big plans for the day and they delivered. The crowds turned up and the Investec black and white theme worked exceptionally well.

There was a fabulously elegant marquee and equally fabulously elegant VIP guests, but no matter where you were racing from, everyone got into the spirit of the day and there were suits, frocks and

fascinators aplenty. Sadly what there wasn’t, were name cloths for the Gr1 runners.

Good things come in threes

Every race day has its share of stories, but the three features were my favourites. The Derby line-up was strong and it is always my eternal sorrow that only one can win. While every runner would have made a deserving winner, there was more than a touch of racing karma when Piere Strydom took the honours on the appropriately named It’s My Turn. Having lost the ride on Black Arthur, Piere was booked on Prince Of Wales.

When Prince Of Wales scratched, he then jumped onto It’s My Turn, who Justin joked was entered last minute and only because owner Fred Crabbia was coming for the day. Joke or no joke, It’s My Turn put a decisive 2 lengths between himself and the second placed Brazuca, which just goes to show that the racing gods love a good story as much as the scribes. Judging by the enthusiastic shouts of “STRIKER” from the fans lining the rails, it’s clear the blonde bomber is still a big crowd pleaser.

The second great story of the day is that of the Majorca Stakes and again the real magic was out on the track, with the first three past the post all sporting the Drakenstein Stud blue and white and the winning filly has a particularly fun story. After Mrs Rupert purchased Inara’s dam, Mountains Of Mist, she was approached by the vendor who explained that the mare was a difficult breeder. Mrs Rupert gamely took her chances anyway.

Mountains Of Mist found the South African climate much more to her liking and mated to Drakenstein resident Trippi, produced the wonderful Inara. Another pleasing bit of symmetry is that Inara gave young jockey Grant van Niekerk his first and second Gr1 wins (in last year’s Paddock and Majorca Stakes) and of course made it a Majorca double with

her win on Saturday. As if there wasn’t already enough to like, Inara is conditioned by Cape favourite Mike Bass, who was on hand to receive his trophy and looking particularly well after his recent health scare. Neil Andrews deserves special mention for conducting the post race interview kneeling down – nice touch.

Tense waitWith 40 minutes between

the Derby and Majorca, the hour to the Million Dollar felt interminable and nerves must have been fraying all over the course – not least of all in the Stipes boardroom! Again, there were so many star horses, jockeys and trainers that it was hard to pick a favourite. However, the diminutive figure of Glen Puller, accompanying his charge down the chute, caught the eye.

Racing’s rich tapestry

The Illuminator story is one of those wonderful racing tales that you couldn’t make up if you tried. Since taking out his license in October 1989, Glen has always had a small string of horses and his ability to produce good results off a limited budget has earned him a small, but die-hard support base. This includes Francis Carruthers and Ian Robinson, who can often be seen helping out at the yard. Ian relates there is a good core of owners who usually buy horses together, although Illuminator is an anomaly. “We bought 8 or 9 horses on the CTS March sale in 2014. Francis wanted a Trippi, but one we pulled out had slack pasterns and Glen said it was no good. As it happened, this guy was in the box next door, so we pulled him out. He was very immature and Glen said we won’t see him run till August 2015, but he’s a nice horse, so let’s see what we can

get it for. In the end he went for R180k and I took 20% and Francis kept 80%.”

Glen’s prediction was spot on and Illuminator debuted on 1 September 2015 winning by a comfortable 1.25 lengths over Arctic Blast with apprentice Heavelon van der Hoven in the saddle. With two wins on the trot, Illuminator was starting to look like a serious Million Dollar prospect and Ian confides they turned down an eye-watering offer for him shortly before the Selangor.

“Normally that sort of thing is the kiss of death, but we were very confident. The worst part is that he ran well in the Selangor, but was a bit disappointing in the Guineas and Andrew Fortune said we should geld him. We um’d and ah’d, but Glen insisted that we don’t.”

D DayNerves were running high

into the big race and with what was a contentious final selection by some, Glen Puller was the only ‘small’ yard to make the final 16. Weichong Marwing was booked for the big ride, but cancelled on Million Dollar morning, leaving the door open for apprentice Heavelon van der Hoven.

Ian continues, “Heavy does a lot of work at the stable for us. He won twice on this horse and was most frustrated how he was ridden in his other three runs. On Saturday I got a phone call at the stables to say that Weichong wasn’t riding and that’s when Heavy said ‘gee whiz, won’t you give me the ride?’ I phoned Glen and he said he was happy, but what about Francis? I said ‘leave him to me.’ Francis was on the beach and didn’t take his cell phone, so we couldn’t get hold of him, and I was standing there thinking ‘now what are we going to do?’ In

the end I said, ‘Glen, if you’re happy, I’m happy and I’ll fight with Francis!’ When he phoned back later and I told Francis the news, there was just silence and I thought ‘Oh no!’ but he was very supportive. There was the obvious concern that Heavy’s a youngster and that there would be no quarter given, but we believed in the youngster and the horse and that’s how we went into it. Even in the ring, at no stage did Heavy show any nerves at all and I think that made a big difference.”

In the event, most eyes were on Mike Bass’s filly, Silver Mountain. However Heavelon rode his own race, choosing to go down the outside, seemingly coming out of nowhere to win by three quarters of a length. The fact that everyone, including the assembled photographers were focussing on the inside rail resulted in a series of fantastic photos of Aldo Domeyer and MJ Byleveld looking across incredulously at the winner.

Overwhelming support

Kenilworth erupted andeven the connections have been staggered by the response. Glen reported that he’s had to take a break from the yard just to return all the messages. Similarly Ian says he had 23 messages before he even left the podium and says the well wishes and congratulations have been overwhelming.

“My wife Judy was saying to me on Saturday night, she just cannot get over the support. To me that’s 75% of the enjoyment. The R1.5 million is other 25%!” With the sales company directors owning half the field, more cynical folk may be forgiven for thinking uncharitable thoughts.

However, if anyone thinks that racing is rigged, there can be no more emphatic proof that it cannot be the case than Saturday’s result. If ever there was a day - certainly on the South African calendar at any rate - specifically designed to be about the money, then Saturday has got to have been it. And yet, in its magical way, racing prevailed and delivered a fairy tale - the little owners, from the little yard with the little horse and the little jockey won. It’s the sort of story that sells books and movie tickets and, more importantly, the sort of story that sells dreams.

If CTS wanted an absolute fool proof marketing strategy for their next big sale, they couldn’t have written the script any better if they tried. Investec and CTS are to be roundly congratulated on a fantastic day, a fantastic result and something which delivered a Day of Dreams in every sense of the word.

Earlier this year, my new year’s wish to everyone was Roald Dahl’s wonderful admonishment to “Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.”I had a dose of my own medicine last week with a 3-day extravaganza of all my favourite things all in one place and with CTS firmly in the driving seat and their foot planted flat on the accelerator, it was pulse racing, adrenaline pumping stuff.

Where'd he come from? Heavelon van der Hoven steals up the outside

Million Dollar Baby


The exceptional champion does the job better than the rest, and at a time when his rivals were being decimated by the recession, his financial clout grew. With the patronage of Michael O’Leary’s Gigginstown Stud, Rich Ricci and Graham Wylie, to name but a few,

Mullins has created a perfect storm.Gordon Elliott and Henry De Bromhead

have manfully spearheaded the opposition. However, ever since the country went bust nearly 10 years ago, the annual Horse Racing Ireland statistics, which will soon be published for 2015, have revealed a relentless contraction of all the critical figures.

The middle and lower tiers of the industry are being wiped out, and small-field races dominated by the same faces don’t create interest or appeal as a betting medium. Point-to-point fields have also reduced alarmingly.

As we have documented in detail here before, the numbers for horses in training, licence-holders, owners, entries, field sizes, on-course betting turnover and attendances have fallen off a cliff. Notwithstanding that we live in more austere economic times and the effect of the digital revolution, the sport has lost a large proportion of its once loyal following and core base.

Tracks are subsidised by around €50,000 per meeting in television rights money, but what happens if that house of cards collapses? Anyone who thinks that will never happen hasn’t been paying attention to seismic events across the water in recent months.

By the same token, Mullins’ omnipotence and his marquee owners’ interest don’t have infinite life-spans. These things always run their course. What sort of industry will be left when that time comes?

We saw high-profile casualties to the training world last year when Joanna Morgan and Charlie Swan quit, but there is an array of others who have done the job well for up to 40 years either gone to the wall or on the brink.

“There is no joy in the job anymore,” one respected senior figure of authority within the training ranks confided this week. “It is all pressure and punishment. The small man just cannot compete. The cost of the raw material is sky high now.

“We have the likes of Gigginstown coming in and buying store horses and running them in point-to-points. That is their prerogative and they have a policy that works, but it has made pointing extremely competitive, so it is hard to be as patient with horses as we like to be.

“As well as that, Irish Thoroughbred Marketing flies in buyers from Britain and around the world, puts them up and entertains them. They need to generate business for the sales companies, but Irish handlers don’t get

he word “our” is important here as racing is quite clearly a passion for a man whose world-renowned company itself started from a low base. Now it reaches every country on the planet.Of course, Investec’s premier sponsorship is the Epsom Derby, although they are also involved in Test cricket and Premier League Football.

Kantor’s late decision to be the host sponsor for last Saturday’s CTS Million meeting somehow gave the event its own particular boost. No doubt also particularly welcomed by CTS who - due to the freefall in the rand - have had to trump up an extra R6 million compared to when the first announcement of the race was released.

Interviewed earlier in the day on Tellytrack, Kantor will have delighted whoever is now the Minister of Finance. Referring to the increased number of overseas buyers at the Premier Yearling Sale, he said: “The more foreign currency we can bring into the country the better.”

First-TimersThe China Horse Club were first time buyers and other

notable visitors waving their catalogues were Tina Rau and M V Magnier, Peter and Ross Doyle and Amanda Skiffington.

While these notable bloodstock folk have probably never set foot in a Backpacker’s lodge, they must be amazed by the hospitality given, which - in many cases - included flights, a top-class hotel (The Taj is certainly that), transport at the flick of a finger and meals as well.

Nevertheless, I have no doubt that CTS Chief Operating Officer Adrian Todd, will be looking at the amount spent by visitors they have accommodated. There might be one of two on what is known as the ‘gravy train’, but Mr Todd is an astute individual who will have no qualms in issuing future invitations.

Now Cape Thoroughbred Sales has another astute businessman, Chris van Niekerk, as their Chairman and one got the feeling at the Investec post-race party that the success of the meeting had lifted a weight off his shoulders.

He would have travelled to Kenilworth with some trepidation. How would the first million dollar race in South African racing history go down with the sport’s leading players, the media and, most importantly, the punting public?

But the former P G Bison boss had done his homework surrounding himself with enthusiastic staff - many of them students more intent on getting the job done rather than thinking about how much they would get paid.

Carnival LeadHere’s a thought for Mr Van Niekerk and his board of

directors - how about following the Melbourne Carnival and making a whole week of racing at the Kenilworth track?

At Flemington, they kick off with the Mackinnon on the Saturday, the Melbourne Cup on the Tuesday, Ladies Day on the Thursday and round off the carnival with the Derby on the Saturday. We could run the Klawervlei Majorca Stakes on the Saturday, the Investec Derby on the Tuesday, the first $500 000 CTS race on the Thursday and the other $500 000 race on the concluding Saturday.

It would be no big deal to move a Vaal meeting to the Wednesday or the Durban meeting to the Friday night.

Food for thought - although the decision to have two races of $500000 is not a great move in my book. There was something special about Saturday for one simple reason - everyone was talking about the one million dollar purse.

Parallels with SA horseracing?

It is a topic that never fails to generate a response from those within the game. The brilliance of Willie Mullins has transformed the landscape of the industry, but it would be wrong to interpret any misgivings about the state of Irish racing as having anything to do with his supremacy, writes Richard Forristal in the Irish Independent.

so much as a cup of tea, and these people are being brought in, driving up prices.

“That undermines the business that people like me have done all our lives, supporting Irish horses and breeders and creating jobs in rural Ireland.”

Accepting that no-one has a divine right to train, here we propose a few recommendations in the interests of fostering a more balanced and sustainable industry. Given the time of year and in light of the more feasible nature of the Flat discipline as an international market, this has been put together with jumping in mind.

A progressive trainers’ seriesDevise a substantial series of races for

trainers who saddled less than, say, 10 winners in the preceding season.

A series comprising possibly maiden and novices’ hurdles and chases, with valuable finals for the race winners, would provide opportunities for fledgling trainers to showcase their talents. It would also enhance their appeal to owners.

Cut fixture listThis might seem counter-intuitive to the

above suggestion but that series would stand alone on its merits.

Despite average field sizes and numbers of runners plummeting, the fixture list has swelled 16pc since 2004 to 355. With the television rights windfalls, this is good for tracks’ bottom lines.

However, it also feeds the scourge of uncompetitive racing and short-priced favourites. The elite players are able to spread their riches too easily.

Rebuild the Graded pyramid

Running parallel with the bloating of the programme book has been the proliferation of Grade Ones. Too many superfluous upgrades have led to easy pickings for the big guns. There are 34 Grade Ones in Ireland, 39 Grade Twos and just 28 Grade Threes.

As Robert Hall pointed out to Horse Racing Ireland’s Brian Kavanagh on RTE, that is a “very oddly shaped pyramid of excellence”; in Britain, there are just 40 Grade Ones. If there is any aspiration to improve the end product and make our showpieces more engaging, this issue must be addressed.

Give handicapper more freedomThis is a nuanced issue but handicappers can

help the small-field situation. Regular trainers will not run horses in Graded races because they get crucified in the ratings if they show up too well.

That might be down to the main protagonists underperforming, but the handicapper rarely takes that into account. In 2014, HRI upped

prize money by 6pc, but that didn’t stop the bleeding of horses in training, field sizes or owners. This year, there is another 6pc rise, but it will be for nothing if it is to be distributed to the same select few.

Make owners feel wanted

ITM’s Aidan McGarry has worked to improve the owners’ lot, but there is still lots to do.

James Griffin yesterday spoke for the entire training ranks when voicing his frustrations on the issue in these pages. Our prize money is excellent, but that shouldn’t come at the expense of everything else.

In Britain, small details enhance the experience. Owners aren’t made to feel as appreciated here, and tracks are parsimonious with tickets.

As owner Peter Reynolds observed in The Irish Field recently, most owners leave the races disappointed with results, so at least give them a day to enjoy.

An owner with a runner should be given 20 tickets; get like-minded people who will relate to the sport in the gate.

They will spend and bet when they are there, and they might even be inspired to get involved.

Look after patrons and punters

The cost of admission is often exorbitant. It was €30 to get into Leopardstown over Christmas, a fee that deterred many potential attendees.

It’s not like a GAA or Premier League match, where the gate fee is often the final outlay.

At the races, it is the first, with betting and extortionately priced sub-standard food and drink all to be acquired inside. Slash fees and give people an excuse to go racing.

The provision of decent Wi-Fi is also a must. That might take from on-course bookies’ turnover, but the alternative is that people stay at home.

Integrity is another issue that remains short of what it should be, but we are not in the business of promoting unrealistic expectations.

TAB betting on the R2.5-million J&B Met will open on Wednesday 27 January and not on Monday as advertised.

In order to distinguish between the meetings at Turffontein on Tuesday night and Turffontein on Saturday, when the Met will form part of the racecard, TAB was going to change the ITW (inter-tote wagering) code for Tuesday night’s meeting.

Unfortunately several international commingling partners cannot accommodate a different ITW code for Turffontein and consequently tote betting on the Met will only open on Wednesday.

His part owner Lance Sherrell is one of racing’s genuine good guys and I really do hope he again tastes Group 1 success with the Captain.

Captain For The Met

Iof Cape racing. Well done not only to him but all of those concerned.

Investec and CTS also deserve a mention for the forward thinking and amazing initiative that is the Million Dollar Race. Although the ship has sailed in terms of purchasing yearlings that qualify from the Book 1 sale, Book 2 is around the corner and with the inaugural winner coming off of that sale, I am sure many a patron will be keen to see what is available on the upcoming sale.

AwardsI was deeply honoured to

host the annual Singapore

racing awards last week. Held at the Regent Hotel, the who’s who of Singaporean racing were in attendance. As I celebrated being in Singapore for a year on 15 January, what a fitting way to celebrate that by being the host. It was a great evening coupled with fantastic food and entertainment.

One of the many highlights of the evening was Stepitup receiving the Horse of the Year award. He was just awesome in 2015 and I am happy to report that after a well deserved break, he is back on the training track in his bid to continue his impressive 2015.

With Chinese New Year approaching, some of the bigger names in the thoroughbred ranks are preparing to have a crack at the Fortune Bowl on Tuesday 9 February. One of the other highlights on the day will include our traditional Chinese attire we don for the races.

There are also various functions to attend so stand by for some updated pictures.

Till next time.

It is a big week in the Cape with the Met this weekend. I am jealous! I left two weeks before last year’s Met and again I won’t be there. If you are in the Cape, soak it up. It’s a magnificent day, set at one of the worlds more scenic tracks coupled with some of the best horses in the country, writes Gareth Pepper.

Cummings, writing from Hong Kong, observed:

“Well, was spot on about Sanshaawes running a blinder first-up and that brutal pace taking a toll on many. He improved. but the sectionals were completely within reason. Compared to the Week 1 race, they ran 2.1 seconds slower through the first 400 and 3.9 seconds to the 800. I felt good with him down the back, and the times proved it.

“Now, where it gets interesting to me is that elleval ran third, beaten just more than two lengths. He had no right, on paper, to want a pace that slow and still come running. the Godolphin horse elhaame came from well out of it too. It was impressive for both to close off, and the big news out of the race is that it bodes very positively for Star empire, who got a really solid form franking with elleval wheeling back to top form when the sectionals were against him.”

Mastermindearlier, Mastermind (bred

by Pippa at avontuur) put up a cracking performance in the al Fahidi Fort over 1400m the lowest-rated horse in this Gr2 race, he was beaten only 1,75-lengths into third by Safety Check and another South african representative,

Harry’s Son, who claimed second for Paul lafferty and Piere Strydom.

behind Mastermind in fourth and earning another stake prize was the ever-present anaerobio with Royal Ridge also running near his best in fifth.

the fourth De Kock runner tellina found the trip too short after his long lay-off, as expected, but he wasn’t disgraced staying on within ten lengths of the winner with plenty of improvement likely.

tannaaf had a bit to do from a wide draw, even over 2435m in the handicap that ended proceedings. He took cover halfway through, settled down and then flashed up in the straight looking to win. He ran on well and was just over a length adrift at the line, beaten into fifth.

Cummings observed: “It doesn’t take a rocket

scientist to realize that tannaaf ran a cracker. at the end, he went 11m more than the winner, and even farther than that with every horse that finished in front of him. Overall, he averaged an in-race speed of 57.3kph, which was faster than the winner, and covered the equivalent of 4 1/4 lengths more than the winner. the numbers are even bigger considering the horses just ahead of him.”

Singapore – Strangles Isolation Increased

Fequi. Horses in quarantine are not allowed to come out of the stables to race or perform trackwork as a precaution against the further spr ead of S. equi. S. equi can be spread through the horses’ saliva, body fluids and through contaminated clothing and gear.

Despite the isolation order and biosecurity control measures in place, tests will still be conducted and temperatures will still be taken to pick up any new cases showing clinical signs of S. equi. Should new suspected or infected horses be identified, they will immediately be placed in quarantine.

It is to be noted that the current onset of S. equi has fortunately not spread rapidly at Singapore Racecourse. One

possible reason is that many of the horses could have already been vaccinated in Australia and New Zealand, where S. equi is common, before being imported into Singapore.

As a result of the new Club-wide isolation order, no visitors will be allowed to the stables at Singapore Racecourse. Please note that the Singapore Turf Club Riding Centre is exempted from this isolation order.

The AVA isolation order will remain in force until three weeks have lapsed after the last case of S. equi.

STC would like to stress that although S. equi is contagious, it is not fatal to horses and can be easily treated. In addition, S. equi cannot be contracted by humans.

After taking into consideration the welfare of horses under isolation as a result of the recent cases of Streptococcus equi subs equi (S. equi), otherwise known as Strangles, at Singapore Racecourse, the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) has decided to expand the existing isolation order in force across the whole of the Singapore Turf Club (STC).

THE theme for this year’s J&B Met is A Rare Blend, which should give fashionistas plenty of leeway to come up with dazzling outfits for the day. A hot trend for 2016 is denim. For the gents, an idea for the Met is an all denim ensemble. What better way to create a rare blend of smart with casual by wearing formal wear made from the season’s most casual fabric?

Fashionistas can also choose to blend metal with

liquids, leather with glitter or psychedelic with industrial. Go on, be creative, bring together that which has never been blended to create an outfit that is one-of-a-kind.

One of the event’s biggest highlights is the ‘Most Elegant Couple’ Competition. Show up in your dazzling, Rare Blend outfit and you may just get chosen to enter on the day and find yourself strutting off with an array of incredible prizes.

A Rare Blend - Guaranteed! South Africa’s most celebrated social,

fashion and sporting event will take place on the 30th of January in Cape Town.

It will be the 39th running of South Africa’s longest running sports sponsorship

he 1999 Met was a remarkable horse race and wouldn’t it be fitting that the first running of the race following Horse Chestnut’s untimely death a

year ago, would be won by Jessica Slack’s Mauritzfontein Stud?

Matthew Lips wrote in these pages 17 years ago - :

“We can all live to be a thousand, and never again witness what we saw in the J&B Met.’’

He was of course referring to the 1999 Met win by the brilliant son of Fort Wood.

Interest burgeoned in the wonder horse bidding to do the impossible in the Met with extensive press coverage and TV camera crews at morning gallops. An attempted break-in at the stables by unknown men sparked speculation that bookmakers were out to sabotage the champion, for fear of losing millions.

The crowd chanted his name in the preliminaries and he responded by blitzing a strong field by 8.25 lengths. Commentator Jehan Malherbe yelled, “This is true greatness! Horse Chestnut is killing them in the J&B Met!’’

The next objective was to complete the Triple Crown, with the first leg – the Cape Guineas – in the bag. It was done with ease: Horse Chestnut won the 1800m Gosforth Park Classic by four lengths and the 2450m SA Derby by 10.

After the Derby in April, Horse Chestnut was again sore in his near fore and plans to contest South Africa’s most famous race, the Durban July, had to be scrapped. Plans for a campaign in the USA were hatched.

The chestnut spent 60 days in quarantine in New York before going into

Cape Flying Championship Honour Roll

1990 - 2015Ttraining in Florida. With groom Abraham Motha and Greyling in attendance, Horse Chestnut was prepared for the Grade 3 Broward Stakes over 1700m at Gulfstream Park, Miami, on 8 January 2000.

The Oppenheimer colours were carried to a 5.50-length victory by jockey Mike Smith. But, as the door opened on more international glory, it slammed shut – Horse Chestnut fractured a near-fore bone during a gallop in Miami.

He would never race again, and was retired to stud.

The Oppenheimers sold a majority share in Horse Chestnut to their friends, the Hancocks of Kentucky’s Claiborne Farm, retaining 10%.

The horse performed admirably at Claiborne, with a 68% winners-to-runners ratio and his progeny winning 500-plus races and earning $16-million. His 28 stakes race winners include Grade 1-winning filly Lucifer’s Stone and top sprinter Smart Enough (12 wins).

His best results have been on turf. With the USA having mainly dirt surfaces, it made sense to bring him back to South Africa where turf courses predominate and where he is an icon.

In 2009, bloodstock agent Robin Bruss clinched a syndication deal to bring Horse Chestnut home where he stood at Drakenstein Stud near Franschhoek until his sudden death in February 2015.

The famous yellow and black silks worn by the outstanding Horse Chestnut to win the J&B Met in 1999 and become the first 3yo in a half century to carry the victor’s garland, will be carried by the 4yo Ideal World filly Smart Call as she bids to join the list of great females to have won this race.

Gr1 J&B Met Gr1 Cape Flying Championship

2 in the Met - 1 In Cape FlyingJet Master: No Fly By Night!the ill-fated longstanding Sa Champion sire Jet Master was the

undisputed king among the milers, but used the 2000 Cape Flying Championship to prove that, given the right programme, he could also have been one of our greatest sprinters.

a star with few peers on the racetrack and in the paddocks, Jet Master has only the 6yo Mike bass-trained Fly by Night carrying his flag in Saturday's speed feature. He has Master Sabina and Helderberg blue representing him in the J&b Met.

Owned by Henry and Pat Devine, the huge entire had continued to blossom after switching from the care of tony Millard to Geoff Woodruff. He certainly had nothing left to prove after winning the Queen’s Plate for the second year in succession – sandwiching the brace with a win in the Nissan Challenge and putting his supremacy over a mile beyond any reasonable doubt.

Facing an assembly of the Cape’s best sprinters, Jet Master started at 7-10 for the 2000 Cape Flying Championship but even so lifted eyebrows in the grandstand as he took them on at their own game, speed – and proceeded to blow them right out of the park.

Dominion Ruler, as usual, showed incredible early toe, powering about four lengths clear of the pack into a strong headwind. However, few could believe it as Jet Master’s bright orange livery came out to race a clear second with the rest tightly packed in a neat group two lengths back with Cordocelli bringing up the rear.

Dominion Ruler “ran out of gas” coming off the false rail, allowing Jet Master to inherit the lead and everyone inched forward on their seats as the pack started organising themselves.

anton Marcus, who got on so well with JM, had read the race and the amount of horse he had under him superbly. Giving the signal one could sense his delight as Jet Master took off again, coasting home five lengths clear of a very dejected-looking pack.

Cordocelli, who was bidding for his third successive win in the race, underlined his class by flying up from the tail of the field to snatch second from ultra-consistent Ghostly galleon and eli’s Game.

Jet Master had put on 8kgs since his win in the Queen’s Plate. asked to explain, Geoff Woodruff (who saddles Master Sabina on

Saturday) said at the time: “Perhaps it is the heavier tracks here that bulked him up a bit more. I must say, looking at him in the parade ring I thought he actually looked a little more trimmed down! We did not ease up on his work.”

he race was switched to Kenilworth for obvious reasons from 1996 and the brilliant eric Sands trained

Flobayou thus holds the distinction of being the only horse to win the sprint at both Milnerton and Kenilworth.

theo De Klerk trained the very first winner benzol for his wife lavinia. From those fairly humble beginnings, the race has evolved into a serious test of speed and some of our biggest speed names have won it multiple times.

A History Of High Flying

The Cape Flying Championship was introduced as a test of sheer speed over the fast Milnerton 1000m course and run for the first time in 1969 for a stake of R4000. Forty five years later it has grown into a prestigious Gr1 run for a stake of R1 million and boasts some of the great flyers of recent years on its illustrious honour roll.

Tthe biggest of those is

the ‘Iron Horse’ Sentinel, who won the race for three years in succession from 1973. Other multiple winners are Free enterprise, Signor amigo, Flobayou, Cordocelli, laisserfaire, Nhlavini and What a Winter.

the brilliant Jet Master won the race in 2000 and his son Divine Jet looks to emulate his champion Dad when he goes for his personal first Gr1 win. Dean Kannemeyer saddles him on Saturday for his l’Ormarins Queen’s Plate winning connections, Khaya Stables.

the fairer sex also have a fair record in the race.

alec Soteriadis trained the Scott brothers bred leta under John Garcia to win in 1970. It was to be eleven years before the fillies would strike again. Mike bass’ brilliant Sweet Chestnut won the race in 1981.

Glen Kotzen sent out Nobely born in 1997 and then the Snaith’s outstanding australian bred laisserfaire registered her double in 2001 and 2002.

Mike De Kock sent out the brilliant 3yo alboran Sea to win the race last year.

Could Jet Master's outstanding daughter Fly by Night do the trick for the girls this year?


P e r s o n a l i t y o f t h e W e e k

Sean Tarry

With the 2016 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate safely stashed in the trophy cabinet and a very satisfactory 3 draw secured for the 2016 J&B Met, SA champion trainer Sean Tarry is in an expansive mood.

Stable star, l’Ormarins Queens’ Plate winner and board topper for the forthcoming J&b Met, legal eagle, is a 4yo son of Greys Inn out of the six-time winning National Emblem mare Young Sensation.

legal eagle was bred and raised at avontuur Stud (whose moniker ‘fine wines and fast horses’ isn’t just lip service!) and the bay colt was a R425,000 purchase at the 2013 National Yearling Sale.

Sean is known for having a good eye for a horse and without spending top dollar, often spots very good horses at very good prices. In that respect, legal eagle was something of an anomaly. the average price for a yearling at the 2013 NYS sale was a little under R300k and a R425,000 price tag made legal eagle the most expensive Greys Inn on the catalogue, so clearly there was something that marked him as out of the ordinary.

asked what caught his eye about the colt, Sean says, “He was a very good looking individual. He was well balanced, with plenty of scope and he was a fantastic walker. I also trained the mother, so that’s what made me mark him quite highly.” Dam Young Sensation was a National emblem mare, who Sean remembers as being “pretty straightforward and who was sold to avontuur out of his yard.

the Grey’s Inns weren’t going for big money, so I’d hoped to spec buy the horse and he went for more than I’d anticipated. Markus (Jooste) happened to be standing near me and asked if I liked the horse. I said, ‘ja, he’s a very smart horse’ and Markus said ‘go and buy him’. It was as simple as that. It was actually quite weird, especially with the lists they have for the sales – the fact that Markus approved him shows it was meant to be.”

Early start“Most of my babies go

through Sue bingham (Fairway Pre-training Centre) and he was good from day one. We thought he was pretty decent all along and quietly fancied him on debut over 1200m at turffontein, which I think ended up being quite a strong race. although he didn’t place, he ran on well for Piere Strydom and that was the start.”

History AwaitsWith S’manga Khumalo in

the saddle, legal eagle broke his maiden at the second time of asking over 1600m at the Vaal on 5 March 2015.

“We gelded him after his baby run and he was given a bit of time and when we ran him at the Vaal, I saw straightaway that he was starting to deliver on the potential I’d seen initially. It was not the strongest field, so I was quite confident that he would win.”

“I remember speaking to Markus afterwards to say I thought he was decent and we would try and get him into the Derby if possible. I did say that he would have to pass the test in the Derby trial however, and if he did that it would be all systems go for the Derby. Funnily enough, our biggest challenge in the Derby trial was getting in, because his rating was so low. We were one of the lucky horses that got in, actually.”

legal eagle finished 1.25 lengths second to Scotsnog over the Vaal’s 1700m on 17 March and then it was on to the listed Derby trial over 2000m at turffontein for an easy 2.25 length victory over Stonehenge.

SA DerbyMayfair Speculators’ stable

jockey anton Marcus took over the ride from the Sa Derby which legal eagle won by a facile 3 lengths.

“anton gets his pick of the Jooste horses and once we were in the Derby, anton took over the reins. I remember I had the stable companion – French Navy – who was the favourite, but I knew legal eagle would run well and I thought he was French Navy’s danger, because I knew from work at home that that was the case. However, I didn’t expect him to win as easily as that. Considering that his last win was in the handicaps and now he was way out at the weights in terms of a WFa contest, running at level weights with horses rated 110 showed us what he was really capable of.”

The Merit Rating Issue

“Going into the Derby he was rated 89 and I was asked about it by the connections. I said you know I don’t believe his rating, but obviously he can only be rated on exposed form. I thought I knew a bit

more about the horse’s ability than what had been shown at that stage and I didn’t believe he was an 89. I guess we now know who was right!”

“He came out of Derby as a MR112 and then in the Gr3 Jubilee Handicap he beat older horses carrying weight and got a rating of 120, however, he did race in the July off his MR112 as the weights had already been published. In the July itself, he then had a few kgs in hand based on his increase in MR and although he was going comfortable and looked at the 300m as though he could win, he found interference and being the long striding horses that he is, he couldn’t recover – although he did try,” he notes.

“So when we start talking about the Queen’s Plate run and his MR being confirmed, you’ve got to keep in mind that we’re talking about a distance short of his best, but I feel he is a 120 all the same. Whether he produced a 120 in the Queen’s Plate I don’t know – I’m not convinced he’s a 120 over a mile, but I’m not doubting his rating.”

4YO Campaign“When we nominated

for the Victory Moon and Summer Cup and the handicapper gave him 61kgs. according to the rules, it should be an 8kg spread and when they elected to give him 61kgs I felt it wasn’t fair play and even though it was only a 1kg difference, we decided to give it a miss even though it was only 1kg difference. then because we’d decided against the Summer Cup, we stayed away from the Victory Moon as well.”

legal eagle was next seen out in an 1800m allowance Plate at turffontein on 10 December 2015, where he finished a short head behind Killua Castle.

“He needed the outing and probably the course didn’t do him any favours, but it was a good enough effort. It was a slow run race and he tried to quicken and tried to quicken, but just couldn’t get through the gears. Obviously being the short-priced favourite it would have been lovely to see him win for the public, but it didn’t dampen our feelings to see him get beat and there wasn’t anybody in the team that felt he’d disappointed in any way.”

Cape TownSean’s team came to Cape

town in late December. “He wasn’t actually due to travel. We’d wanted to run in the london News, but there was a scare about aHS, so we thought let’s just get him out of Joburg as quick as possible. In the end, I felt maybe it was a blessing. He’s not the most robust horse and I felt that travelling down a bit earlier and giving him a bit of extra time before the racing starts might just suit him. I’ve had reasonable success using the Queen’s Plate as a prep into the Met and even though I’ve only won the Met once, I’ve had a few places and most of my Met runners did come the route of the Queen’s Plate, so I wasn’t unhappy to change the arrangements.”

Monique Mansour has been handling Sean’s Cape town string and is clearly doing a sterling job.

“I’m very pleased with Monique, she’s certainly very con-scientious and really takes things to heart which I appreciate.

Queen’s PlateWere the team expecting

the Queen’s Plate win? “I wasn’t, to be honest, but I think everybody including anton knew that we wouldn’t be surprised if he had to win. but there’s a big

difference between being surprised and expecting horse to win. I knew he would run really well and obviously winning was a bonus.”

although all eyes are focussed on legal eagle, Gold Onyx also put in a good Queen’s Plate performance. “I wasn’t disappointed,” says Sean. “He raced wide and only got beat 5 lengths over distance short of his best – we’ll take that as a prep any day. In last year’s Met, he had to drop out to just about last and he ran a great race to finish 2nd which was a great run. He needs things to go his way and it’s going to be tough from a 15 draw, but he’s a game old man. He’s certainly showed his liking for the city and he doesn’t lay down easily!”

Legal Eagle’s Met Chances

“at this stage of the game, everything is on track with our

prep and everything has gone well. However, there is still a while to go and things need to go right and I’m mindful of that, so ja, we just have to hold thumbs.”

In terms of strategy, Sean’s comments ahead of the Queen’s Plate had been that the faster they went, the better legal eagle would like it. What are his thoughts for the Met?

“We’ve raced him handy successfully now and obviously there has to be a plan b if there isn’t any pace. I’m not too phased. as long as it’s not a rough race – and it always is a bit rough – but as long as the best horse has an opportunity and there are no excuses afterwards, we’ll be happy.”

Can legal eagle join the illustrious few to have done the Queen’s Plate – Met double? History awaits.

Appreciating The ExtraVaal 21st January

Up In TripKenilworth 16th January

With the bookmakers calling 7/1 bar the favourite one might have expected CARRY ON ALICE to be a good thing in the bill topping Gr2 Sceptre Stakes over 1200m on Saturday, but running on from the rear she was never a threat. Victory instead went to the 8/1 shot PRINCESS ROYAL. Positioned in the middle in what was always a very tightly bunched field, Glen Kotzen’s charge ran on stoutly at the business end of the race, and in a blanket finish she got up late to score by a half. Three of the afternoon’s eight races were run over 2000m and quickest home amongst these was GATHERING FAME in the listed Jamaica Handicap. Allowed to ease out to 8/1 from 11/2 at the track, Dennis Drier’s charge raced in midfield for most of the journey. She quickened well at the top of the long new course straight and won going away from the similarly unfancied MORNING LIGHT.

The faster of the two 1600m races was the maiden plate in which we saw an impressive performance from SEARCH PARTY. Trying the distance for the first time, and winning in a time almost 1,5 seconds faster than that recorded by the MR74 Handicap winner ELUSIVE SILVA, Brett Crawford’s charge sat seventh of the ten early on. He was asked to take up the running as they approached the 300m marker and only having to be pushed out won going away by four and a quarter.TITBITS

Always handy, the recent maiden winner ELUSIVE SILVA won the MR74 Hand-icap over 1600m going away by a length.

7 x 1200mScottsville 17th January

The going was soft in Pietermaritzburg on Sunday where seven of the eight races were run over 1200m. A MR78 Handicap topped a rather moderate bill and in what proved to be the fastest of the 1200m races the 6yo Aldric found the winner’s enclosure. Soon up with the speed, James Goodman’s charge took command 250m out and won with authority by a length and three quarters.

The fastest of the four maiden events over 1200m was the first division for the boys won by the well-supported favourite DESERT FIGHTER. The son of Toreador wasn’t the quickest into stride when the gates opened and as a result he raced in midfield early on. He put his head in front shortly after passing the 400m marker and won going away by three and a quarter.

The one remaining race was a MR70 Handicap over 1000m and here victory went to the easy to back GINGER BISCUIT. Freely available at 10/1 on the off, the daughter of Admire Main raced in the rear during the early part of the race. She was ridden to lead as they approached the 200m marker and kept on strongly late to beat the running on favourite SISTER COSMOS by a length.TITBITS

The 5yo BETWEEN THE SHEETS won the second division of the girl’s maiden 1200m going away by four.

Let It RainTurffontein 19th January

They raced on the inside track on Tuesday afternoon where a half of the races were run over 1450m. The fastest of these was the bill topping MR88 Handicap won by JOLIE ROGER. Content to sit in the rear for most of the journey, Alec Laird’s charge quickened well early in the short home straight and got up late to score by a length.

The faster of the two 1800m races was the MR68 Handicap won by the well-supported SISTERS OF MERCY. Backed in to 5/1 from 8’s at the track, the well handicapped daughter of Greys Inn raced in midfield during the early part of the race. She made her move coming off the strip and won well by a length after striking the front 100m or so from home. A little slow into stride, the runner up RUBY RUBY (10/1 into 9/2) was flying at the finish and did well to get as close as she did.

Another to find the winner’s enclosure after finding good support on this card was RAINY DAY BLUES in the graduation plate over 1600m. Eventually sent off at 5/1 after opening up at 10’s, the stable companion to the favourite (BUCKLAND 5/2) raced sixth of the eight for most of the journey. He produced a nice turn of foot below the distance and in what proved to be a real thriller he got up in the very last stride.TITBITS

The 3yo Western Winter filly FROSTY FRIDAY completed a very smart hat-trick when winning the graduation event over 1450m.

The stable of Justin Snaith have been dominating the 2yo events in Cape Town so far this season and they were again on the mark on Wednesday when the supported newcomer SOWETO MOON did the business in the opening maiden juvenile plate over 1000m. Positioned fourth of the five early on, the son of Zoffany struck the front 400m out and won with authority by a length and three quarters from IN YOUR FACE.

There were three races run over 1000m in total and comfortably the fastest of these was the MR68 Handicap won by SAILS SET. Allowed to ease out to 15/4 from 5/2 at track, Brett Crawford’s charge raced up with the speed

throughout. She kept on strongly at the business end of the race and won well from the running on favourite BOOMTOWN BELTER.

The only other distance to stage more than one race was 1400m and in the faster of these, CECIL JOHN got off the mark. Freely available at 22/1 to win the not so lucky last, a maiden plate, the well-tried Seventh Rock gelding was always in touch with the leaders. He ran on strongly in the straight and in a race where less than a length covered the first four home, he scored by 0,4 lengths from the running on STORM FRONT.TITBITS

The lightly raced 3yo SOLANA won the maiden plate over 1600m with some in hand.

The biggest winning margin at Thursday’s outside track meeting was that of ENDHARR when opening his account in the boy’s division of the maiden 1600m. Always handy, Mike De Kock’s charge took up the running as they approached the 400m marker and kept up to his work all the way to the wire, he came home lonely by six and three quarters.

There were five races run over 1600m in total and the fastest of these was the MR86 Handicap won by the Stronghold mare FORTITUDE. Sent off third in the betting market (11/2) after opening up a joint favourite (4/1), Lucky Houdalakis’ charge wasn’t the quickest into stride and raced in midfield early on. She ran on stoutly over the final 400m and with the rest

well beaten she got up very late to deny the front running CASSIE O’MALLEY (5/1 into 4/1 favourite).

Three of the remaining four races were run over 1000m and fastest against the clock in these was MAGIC in the MR76 affair. On leaving the stalls MANX PARK and BRIGTNUMBERFOUR who disputed the lead, whilst Leon Erasmus’ charge raced close up in fourth. He ran on strongly at the business end of the race and no doubt aided by Manx Park hanging and shifting around, he got up late to score by a neck.TITBITS

The 3yo GAINS TAX won the girls’ division of the maiden 1600m by two and a quarter with some in hand.

is famed male line (Trippi’s sire End Sweep is by the highly influential Mr Prospector son Forty Niner) and well known

to all pedigree enthusiasts.Trippi’s female line is at least

as deserving of credit. His first dam is by Valid Appeal (broodmare sire of more than 120 stakes winners), his third dam by Never Bend (sire of Anne Campbell and Courtly Dee –both Broodmare Of

hile that record price was not threatened on day two, there continued to be good money for several top lots, with Friday’s top lot coming in the form of lot 183, a colt by leading sire Dynasty (sire of 2015 record priced lot Shining Knight).Consigned by Highlands Farm, the colt, named Dynasty’s Blossom, was knocked down to the

Mayfair Speculators/Coolmore/Maine Chance Farms triumvirate for R4.5 million. Day two’s top lot is out of the Danehill Dancer sired G3 Final Fling Stakes winner Crimson Blossom, whose fourth dam, Delsy, produced G1 Prix du Jockey Club winner and leading sire Darshaan.

Dogwood founder Cot Campbell’s namesake, a colt by prominent sire Trippi out of G1 Cape Fillies Guineas winner Ebony Flyer (the first foal of his dam), was another to find favour with buyers, with the colt being knocked down to bloodstock agent John Freeman for R3.3 million. However it was R6 000 000 buy Silver Coin who really set the tone for the sale. He assisted his sire Silvano in becoming the leading sire for the 2016 Cape Premier Yearling Sale –Silvano sired 22 yearlings to sell, and they grossed a total of R24.5 million, and averaged a very healthy R1,113, 636.

Reigning champion sire Captain Al finished second on the sires log, with the always popular Dynasty back in third.

Mayfair Speculators were the sales’ leading buyer once again –they bought 9 lots for a total of R13.4 million. Overseas buyers were also active at the sale, with Tina Rau and MV Magnier both active, Peter and Ross Doyle buying four lots for R3.85 million, and Amanda Skiffington picking up three yearlings for R2.15 million. The sale also marked the first time that the China Horse Club bought yearlings on a South Africa sale –their purchases including a Var filly for R1.9 million and a Dynasty filly for R800 000.

Klawervlei led the vendors list by aggregate, their 49 yearlings amassed a total of R38.27 million, with Highlands second top by

The Year winners), his fourth is by Tudor Minstrel (also broodmare sire of the great racehorse and sire Damascus) and his fifth by Bull Lea (five times champion sire in USA).

Interestingly enough, Never Bend (Nasrullah), sire of Trippi’s third dam, continues to make his presence felt in pedigrees the world over.

Trippi apart, Never Bend, sire of such champions and influential sires as Mill Reef and Riverman (both of whom became top class broodmare sires), can be found in the

female line today of such important horses as Green Desert (Danzig), the recently deceased sire success, Arch (Kris S), 2016 classic hope, Ballydoyle (Galileo), Gr1 Breeders’ Cup Classic hero, Bayern (Offlee Wild), and US champion and successful sire, Bernardini (A P Indy).

Inbreeding to Never Bend has resulted in such notable Gr1 winners as Able One (Cape Cross), Alexander Goldrun (Gold Away), SA Gr1 winner, Blueridge Mountain (Giant’s

Causeway), Gr1 Champion Stakes winner, David Junior (Pleasant Tap), champion miler, Desert Prince (Green Desert), and 2000 Guineas winner and sire, Golan (Spectrum), among many others.

Trippi (End Sweep) himself traces back to Another Love (his fourth dam), a high class stakes winner at two and a daughter of the very tough mare, Amoret. The latter made more than 60 racetrack appearances, and won or was placed in 35 races, with her stakes wins including the Beverly Handicap (a former G1 contest). Amoret’s numerous high

class descendants include the Japanese Oaks winner, Vega (Tony Bin), with the latter responsible for such high class Japanese performers as Admire Don (Timber Country) and Admire Vega (Sunday Silence). Amoret herself produced the talented Eastern Fleet, a Fleet Nasrullah colt, whose 11 wins included the now Gr1 Florida Derby, one of the principal prep races for the Kentucky Derby.

While Amoret was a really talented and durable racemare, she was not in the same class as her own dam, Mar-Kell. Remarkably, Mar-Kell (Blenheim II) and her first and second dams were all US champions. Herself a champion at five, Mar-Kell won 17 races and made more than 50 racetrack appearances, before retiring to a successful stud career. Her foals included the above mentioned Amoret, as well as the very high-class Mark-Ye-Well (Bull Lea) whose 14 wins included the Arlington Classic, American Derby and the Santa Anita Handicap. At stud, Mark-Ye-Well’s runners included Prix de la Foret (now Gr1) winner, Spy Well, sire of the wonderful mare, Flossy (Champion Stakes).

Mar-Kell was an exceptionally well bred mare –by an Epsom Derby winning leading sire in Blenheim II. Her own dam, Nellie Flag, was not only a champion at two, but has subsequently become one of the cornerstones of the American stud book. Herself dam of Kentucky Oaks winner, Nellie L (Blenheim II), Nellie Flag is also ancestress of Kentucky Derby/Belmont Stakes winner, Bold Forbes (Irish Castle), unbeaten Gr1 winning 2yo and sire, Saratoga Six (Alydar), Gr1 winning fillies, Lakeway (Seattle Slew) and Mushka (Empire Maker), Gr1 winning half siblings, Jan Vermeer (Montjeu) and Together (Galileo), Belmont Stakes winner, Bet Twice (Sportin’ Life) and Gr1 William Hill Futurity hero, Dunbeath (Grey Dawn II).

Interestingly, Trippi hails from the same family as one

of the greatest and most durable racehorses in recent US history –Forego (Forli), Forego’s fourth dam being Nellie Flag. Horse Of The Year three times in a row in North America and a member of the Racing Hall Of Fame, Forego won 34 races, including the Gr1 Woodward Stakes on four occasions.

The versatile and durable champion, one of the best loved horses in US racing history, was also named Champion Handicap Horse on four occasions, and Champion US Sprinter in 1974. Forego won major races from 1400m to 3200m, and is today honoured by the Gr1 Forego Stakes at Saratoga, a recognised prep race for the G1 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile and G1 Breeders’ Cup Sprint.

Forego himself was rated the 8th best US racehorse of the 20th century in a study conducted by the Blood-Horse, and rated above such legendary performers as Seattle Slew, Spectacular Bid, Affirmed, Bold Ruler and Phar Lap, among numerous others.

One of Nellie Flag’s most interesting descendants (in terms of inbreeding) is the talented eight time winner and Gr3 Razorback Handicap victor, Let It Rock.

A son of Trippi, he traces back in female line to Nellie Flag both through his sire and his dam, Timeless. Remarkably, Nellie Flag herself is a daughter of champion racemare, Nellie Morse (Luke McLuke), one of just five fillies ever to win the classic G1 Preakness Stakes.

At two, Nellie Morse won the 1000m Fashion Stakes and was second in both the Spinaway and Matron Stakes (both races at various times being accorded Gr1 status).

At three, Nellie Morse preceded her historic Preakness victory with a score in the Pimlico Oaks, and at stud went on to produce the high class colt, Count Morse (winner of the now Gr1 Clark Handicap).

The Nellie Morse Stakes, was subsequently named in her honour.

Red hot sire Trippi, whose son, Illuminator, won Saturday’s CTS Million Dollar and whose daughters, Inara and Lanner Falcon, ran 1-3 in the Gr1 Klawervlei Majorca Stakes on the same day, is a stallion with a potent pedigree, writes Sarah Whitelaw.

aggregate. Another Cape farm to enjoy a hugely successful sale was Drakenstein Stud, whose nine lots amassed an impressive R17 100 000. Drakenstein sold yearlings averaged R1 900 000.

Overall, the sales’ aggregate rose from R120 450 000 a year ago to R135 650 000, however, the average dropped from 2015’s R644,117 to R600,221, and the median also decreased from R400 000 to R375 000.

Buyers gained an additional incentive for the sale, as graduates of the Premier Sale automatically qualify for two $500 000 races in 2018, with an additional bonus of $1 000 000 up for grabs if one owner should win both contests. Complete statistics for the sale are available online at www.capethoroughbredsales.com

Records at CPYSTwo days of frenetic trading came to an end on Friday with the second and final day of the 2016 Cape Premier Yearling Sale taking place in Cape Town. The sale had established a new record for a yearling sold at auction in South

Africa a day earlier, when a Silvano colt, named Silver Coin, was knocked down for R6 million –smashing the previous record of R5.2 million, which had

been set at last year’s sale.
