Gr2 Premier Trophy

PAST WINNERS

t’s not the mutual grey distinguished good looks but more the fighting spirit and character of the trainer-horse comb-ination that have proven so appealing to

Joe Public – and a good few photographers – over the past few season.

Age A NumberThe reality is that, while

neither are getting any younger, King Of Pain hasn’t won since June 2014 at the old Clairwood track where he downed the multiple Equus champion mare Beach Beauty in a dazzling display of galloping and tactical race-riding to win the Gr1 Rising Sun Gold Challenge.

Fayd’herbe is in the saddle again on Saturday and we are going 200m further. And his few runs this year have produced decent efforts – if no fireworks.

But his eyecatching sprint in the Gr2 Merchants,when just 3,95 lengths behind Triptique was acceptable and he will be a fit horse on Saturday.

He certainly has the class and is plain overdue to win at some time soon!

The negative is that if the official handicapper is to be believed, then the King cannot beat the likes of Punta Arenas and Paterfamilias.

PuntaNow with Dennis Drier

after Stan Elley closed shop, Punta runs off a 111 and has not put things together in two runs since chasing Power King home in a great effort in the July.

He probably needed his last outing when failing to fire when out of the money behind Captain America in the Green Point Stakes – but will enjoy the extra 200m in a fast run race here.

Paterfamilias is one of three Bass runners.

The son of Trippi has never lived up to his R2,3 million price tag but flew late to run out of his skin when third and a length behind Captain America in the Green Point.

The lightly raced 6yo is a little in and out and will need to frank that before we start suggesting he can win this.

Helderberg Blue was 4,25 lengths behind there and this fellow has had more excuses than most horses.

He was runner-up behind Dynamic last year but he has had his chance and it is difficult to fancy him too strongly.

The third of the Bass trio is Winter Classic winner Royal Dreamer, who has been priced up at 200-1 by Hollywood for the 2016 J&B Met.

The course and distance winning son of Rebel King is not well in at the weights but Greg Cheyne rides him well – but he may need another run to reach his fitness.

VeteranThe Sean Tarry trained

Gold Onyx has his 52nd run on Saturday and as an 8yo he amazingly still has plenty of pep in his step.

The Gr1 winning son of Black Minnaloushe loves the Cape and looks to be following the same path as he did last term – this race into the L’Ormarins Queen’s

Liquid Mercury in the Gr3 Winter Derby last term.

The son of Jet Master has been thrown in the deep end here off his rating and will need to improve further on his fast-finishing second behind Spirit Of Hamilton last time.

Andre Nel has made a flying start for private owner Sabine Plattner and he saddles the imposing New Zealand bred grey, French Revolution.

The entire son of Guillotine has not run in 24 weeks and is likely to need the run – and slightly further, based on past performance.

Top ThreeIf Paterfamilias can main-

tain his form then he will be a massive runner.

Punta Arenas will be reaching race fitness and loves the course. That leaves the class King Of Pain.

He is not a horse to put the rent money on, but cannot be far off at best.

Strydom Appeal SucceedsPiere Strydom has appealed succesfully

against his 90-day ban, 50 of which was to be suspended for one year, for dropping his hands and getting caught on the line while riding Dublin Rebel at Turffontein on 27 August.

While pleading guilty to the charge, Strydom opted to appeal against the severity of the sentence and that was supported

by the Appeal Board. The sentence was reduced to 25 days and will start on Friday, 11 December, as Strydom is committed to rides this week.

That means he will not be able to ride in the Gr1 Cape Guineas on 19 December but will be back in time for the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate at Kenilworth in January.

www.tabnews.co.za

The enigmatic class act King Of Pain shares his charismatic personality and boyish charm with his erudite conditioner Joey Ramsden. The pair have seen a few battles won and lost and team up again in Saturday’s R400 000 Gr2 Premier Trophy where the son of Greys Inn lumbers topweight.

IWITH an eye on grabbing some astute value in the ante-post betting market, we will be looking at the race picture as it unfolds in the next seven weeks.

The official weights are scheduled to be published on 11 January 2016.

In order to get the ball rolling, our handicappers have been hard at work and have produced a cool preview of the weights for the big race based on current info.

Please do let us know what your early opinions are.

If The J&B Met Was Run Today...

The R2,5 million Gr1 J&B Met will be run at Kenilworth on 30 January 2016 and in the countdown to one of South Africa’s premier horseracing events there will be plenty of talk and speculation about finding the likely winner. There is a long road still to ride with the unknown factor of supplementary entries likely to cloud the picture.

Plate in the Met. He was unplaced behind Dynamic last year and will once again likely need it as he comes straight off a 19 week rest following his unplaced Gold Cup effort.

It is difficult to suggest that he has no shout here, and could pop up fresh under S’manga Khumalo.

Justin Snaith won this race last year with the rather disappointing Dynamic and his duo of Krambambuli and Master’s Eye have quite a bit to do at the weights.

Derby HorseFormer Yogas Govender

trained Krambambuli was touted as a Derby horse last season but things didn’t quite work out in that regard.

The son of Black Minnaloushe won one race on the Greyville polytrack during the KZN Champions Season and has looked quite competitive this season so far.

He won his penultimate start when beating his much vaunted stablemate Readytogorightnow in a small field over 1800m at Durbanville and was then a bit unlucky when cramped and finishing under a length back in fourth in the Gr3 Algoa Cup.

Return races after travel are always a worry, but this fellow looks to go on and win a few more yet.

Gr1 CAPE FILLIES GUINEAS at Kenilworth last Saturday

lot of water has flowed under the bridge in the ensuing years and Bass saddled Sport’s Chestnut in 2001 and the i n t e r n a t i o n a l

performer Sun Classique to win in 2005.

2015 has been a trying year for the well-known Cape racing family and another victory in the Gr1 classic could not have come at a better time – with their Silvano filly Silver Mountain further entrenching her status as one of the best 3yo fillies in the country.

She simply swept aside her opposition to saunter to victory in the R1 million Gr1 Cape Fillies Guineas at Kenilworth on Saturday.

This prestigious classic is a natural barometer of the best of any generation and the race’s honour roll over the past 45 years boasts some of the greatest fairer sex gallopers to grace our turf.

The manner of Silver Mountain’s victory on Saturday suggests that she has plenty to come yet and her likely clash with the dual Gr1 winning male Seventh Plain in the CTS Million Dollar in January will give the groundbreaking dollar dream

race, added impetus – not that it needs much hype at current rates of exchange.

After her facile victory from a wide draw in the Gr2 Choice Carriers Championship early in November, Silver Mountain has stepped into the spotlight and has become the talking horse of Cape racing – and did her burgeoning reputation proud on Saturday.

After the outsider Ocean’s Swell had set the gallop into the straight, Aldo Domeyer angled Silver Mountain to the middle of the track at the 400m marker and she simply lengthened to draw clear of her field.

Silver Mountain ran right away to beat the Glen Kotzen trained Our Destiny by 5 lengths in a time of 98,72 secs.

Winning jockey Aldo Domeyer was at a loss for words and said that he had not been sleeping well in the build-up.

“Big horses are big pressure. And today they wouldn’t allow us in so it was tougher. But she settles like a professional and when I asked her she gave it to me. She has a superb turn of foot and is really something special. I must thank the whole team – their hard work makes the

difference,” he said. The winner’s stablemate Taffety Tart also reproduced her customary late dash finish again to grab a deserved third.

Paddy Kruyer’s smart Biarritz filly Anglet showed her appreciation for the summer course and stayed on all the way up the straight to run a decent fourth.

Justin Snaith’s previously unbeaten filly Bela-Bela was some way back early after a tardy jump and was then obstructed by the fallen rider. She ran an ordinary race to stay on for fifth and 6,20 lengths back.

She shaded Mike De Kock’s Gauteng raider Noor – also unbeaten in her first two – who also failed to fire on her Cape debut.

It was an eventful race all round, judging by the Stipes Report:ANGLET (R Danielson) cast the

left fore shoe on the way to the start, which the farrier replaced causing a delay.

A TIME TO DREAM (A Marcus) and MISS MARKER (C Orffer) were fractious in the stalls, were unloaded, examined by the Veterinary Surgeon, declared fit and were reloaded. Trainers S J

Snaith and M W Bass will be advised that these fillies starting stall certificates have been withdrawn in terms of Rule 61.6.10.

In view of the performance from MISS MARKER (C Orffer) (17.40 lengths), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine the filly on her return to the unsaddling enclosure and submit a report.

b) Jockey S Cormack (WELL IN FLIGHT) reported that the felt something amiss with this filly in running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine the filly on her return to the unsaddling enclosure and submit a report.

c) Jockey K de Melo (FLYING ICE) ) reported that the felt something amiss with this filly in running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine the filly on her return to the unsaddling enclosure and submit a report.

d) In a tightly bunched field, approaching the 1000m, VALEDICTION (G Wright) was forced to ease off the heels of TAFFETY TART (G van Niekerk), rolled outwards and clipped the heels of SILVER MOUNTAIN (A Domeyer), dislodging Jockey G Wright. ANGLET (R Danielson) and BELA-BELA (P Strydom), which were following, were forced to ease to avoid the

fallen rider. After reviewing the patrol films from the various angles this was deemed to be a racing incident and no individual rider could be held responsible.

e) The saddle on A TIME TO DREAM (A Marcus) slipped back in running and as a result Jockey Marcus could not fully assist the filly.

f) TAFFETY TART (G van Niekerk) was hanging out from the 400m.

g) OCEAN’S SWELL (C Puller) was hanging out throughout, raced wide on the bend and into the straight, and was difficult to assist. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine the filly on her return to the unsaddling enclosure and submit a report.

h) OUR DESTINY (G Cheyne) shifted both ways away from the crop from the 300m.

i) SILVER MOUNTAIN (A Domeyer), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Assistant Trainer R Fayd’Herbe, acting on behalf of Trainer M W Bass, was advised. (SN)

j) OUR DESTINY (G Cheyne), the second placed horse, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer G S Kotzen was advised. (TN)

It was a forgettable race for jockey Gareth Wright, whose mount Valediction clipped heels and unseated him at around the 1000m marker. Wright came off unscathed and managed to fulfill his engagements. There was to be little luck for Valediction’s owner Hassen Adams – his other runner Ocean’s Swell set the pace but compounded to finish a distant last.

A daughter of Silvano, Silver Mountain is out of the six-time winning Fusaichi Pegasus mare, Our Table Mountain, the winner of the 2007 Listed Olympic Duel Stakes and a half-sister to the consistent sire Artie Schiller (El Prado {Ire}).

The progeny of Our Table Mountain have attracted plenty of interest in the sales ring – and on the training tracks, where they have shown temperament issues – but Silver Mountain has shown nothing of that trait.

The Highlands bred filly was purchased by Maine Chance Farms for R1,3 million at the Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1.

She has now won 4 from 5 with 1 place and took her stakes earnings to R880 500.

Which, with her whole career ahead of her, is starting to make her look a great buy at the price – despite the owner’s Racing Manager Justin Vermaak reminding us that she wasn’t a cheapie.

Roll on January 2016!

It has been 35 years since Mike Bass saddled his first Cape Fillies Guineas winner when the outstanding Sweet Chestnut bolted home under jockey Gavin Howes for owner Georgina Rogers.

PAST WINNERS

ith field sizes restricted to sixteen runner and eighteen standing their ground at final acceptance, it is good to see Kenilworth Racing exercising some discretion and agreeing to field all eighteen. Fate has already seen one withdrawal

(7-Deputy Ryder) as we go to press, so the field has already whittled marginally.

ConsistentThe Sabine Plattner-owned Australian bred

Acrostar has been a model of consistency and was beaten by a terrific Sean Cormack ride last year when her lesser fancied stablemate Jet Supreme held her to a whisker.

After showing her wellbeing with a season opening win over the well-performed Sea Cat last time, there will be plenty who believe that Acrostar will beat her draw with top jockey Bernard Fayd’herbe in the irons. Her relaxed racing style and the long run for home of the summer course will make Fayd’herbe’s task a touch more attainable – and she has the class to carry the day.

Acrostar ran five times in the recent KZN Champions Season and with three places, including an excellent third in the Gr2 Gold Bracelet, when beaten 0,55kgs by Gallica Rose.

The latter carries topweight on Saturday and has to give the Snaith runner 2kgs. Gallica Rose, a beautifully consistent daughter of Silvano, also has not had the benefit of a run and comes in off a 19 week break – which could count against her.

Mike Bass’ yard are nicely in form and they saddle one of the two 3yo’s in the Captain Al filly, Sublime Lady. The Normandy bred filly has done little wrong with 1 win and 2 places in 5 starts and looks a fair proposition, with more improvement, froma 2 draw off a galloping 51,5kgs.

W FlyerHer stablemate Come Fly With Me was beaten

just over 2 lengths by Acrostar last time, but has a more advantageous 7 draw to jump from.

Come Fly With Me’s second to champion stablemate Inara in the Diana Stakes – and on her previous run to her – suggests that she is a very decent filly and capable of challenging if stripping fitter. The Adam Marcus trained Crystal Cavern gets the services again of S’manga Khumalo and enjoys a 2kg weight swing with Acrostar for a 0,60 length beating last time.

This lovely Horse Chestnut filly has an electrifying turn of foot and will be flying at them late. She certainly ranks as a top three choice.

The Dennis Drier-trained Listed Jamaica Handicap winner Gathering Fame has not tasted success since last summer and looks well held by Gallica Rose at best. Her grey stablemate Pecan Nut caught the eye on her return run a month back and is a decent five-time winner who could boost quartets if getting some luck from that 13 draw.

Greg Ennion’s mostly consistent Moonsong Magic was beaten just under a length by Acrostar last time and has to find 2,5kgs on the Snaith mare.

She seldom runs a poor race and is out to show that she is more than a winter performer.

OutgunnedDean Kannemeyer’s Indaba was outgunned in her

two KZN Champion Season starts when well beaten and failed to spark in her return run.

The daughter of Dynasty has a place chance if recapturing her better 3yo form.

Cat And The Moon and Harvard Crimson make up the Snaith trio. The former is top-class on her day but is drawn very wide and could need the run after a 15 week break.

Harvard Crimson has shown flashes of being better

than rated and her eyecatching fourth in the Gr3 Diana Stakes was a good effort.

She is a daughter of Dynasty with a really good turn of foot and could be the joker in the pack from a 1 draw.

Weight LoadDarryl Hodgson’s Aussie bred

Sensible Lover has drawn in Lansdowne and has to make up 5kgs plus on Acrostar on their last meeting.

Sensible Lover was unlucky in running at her last start but still looks to have a mountain to climb. Neil Bruss’ Zante is a decent 4yo and has a Gr1 placed credit on her CV.

The daughter of Ideal World failed to run on in the Woolavington Handicap last

time and is bound to be more comfortable against her own sex again. Exciting stallion Warm White Night’s first ever winner Harlem Shake has won from 800m to 2000m and could be a tactical dark horse in this elevated company.

Her 12 draw is obviously a deterrent but her apprentice rider Heavelon Van Der Hoven has ridden some crackers from the front.

Can Cope looks outclassed in this company.

Acrostar is the choice to step up and beat her wide draw.

She is the selection at the expense of Crystal Cavern, Moonsong Magic and Come Fly With Me. Gallica Rose and Sublime Lady are inclusions for larger perms.

Justin Snaith dominated the finish of the 2014 R250 000 Gr3 Victress Stakes when saddling the first two to finish. The former SA champion trainer brings the smart Danehill Dancer mare Acrostar to the table again, and even from an awful 17 draw, she must have a chance of atoning.

The well-performed Acrostar could go one better

ortune, who rode a double on the afternoon, has maintained his lead at the top of the SA Jockey log despite a

quiet run of late and Villa Del Largo won rather easier than the official length margin suggests.

In a field of eight, the consistent Villa Del Largo looked a decent bet at a generous 33-10 and he got the better of the handily weighted local, Sedge, to score by a length.

No time was taken.

he 1400m 3yo feature hosted eleven promising youngsters on a rather low-key Gauteng feature programme after the pomp and sparkle of Sansui Summer Cup Day just seven days earlier.De Kock won the race in 2014 with Mitraad and was quickly onto the

double.Geoff Woodruff ’s Val Et All vied for

favouritism with De Kock’s recent impressive maiden winner, but after Woodruff ’s colt had shifted under pressure, he had nothing to come.

It was left to the Bankable gelding Duke Nukem to chase the Aussie-bred chestnut home with a 0,9 length deficit at the line. Duke Nukem ran a cracker, despite making a respiratory noise in running.

The winner, an entry for the forthcoming Grand Parade Cape Guineas, registered a time of 87,04 secs.

The Sean Tarry-trained Lunar Approach

finished with a solid rattle to secure third cheque, ahead of the 40-1 Belenos, who caught the eye in his post-maiden run.

Magic Moon bled in running and ran accordingly, finishing last and 8,25 lengths off.

A good looking chestnut, Suyoof took his scorecard to 2 wins with 1 place from 3 starts and stakes of R163 875.

He set a new record for the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale session 2 when knocked down for $150 000.

He is by the outstanding sprinter miler Magic Albert Zeditave), a sire of the winners of over $20 million in prizemoney including Gr1 winners Ilovethiscity, Albert The Fat, Magic Cape and Fighting Warrior – the latter won in South Africa.

Suyoof is out of the twice-winning Danehill Dancer mare, Magic Harmony.

Magic Albert topped the sire averages in session 2 of the 2014 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale with five yearlings offered and all sold at an average $232,000.

Jockey Sherman Brown stepped into top man Weichong Marwing’s boots at Turffontein on Saturday and showed that he can steer the good ones home. He produced Mike De Kock’s Australian-bred Suyoof inside the final 300m to lift the honours in the R150 000 Listed Secretariat Stakes.

Villa Del Largo was a R750 000 National Yearling Sale acquisition and was registering his fifth win with 17 places from 35 starts and stakes of R408 425. So he has ticked along and earned but is a fellow who has shown an aversion to the winner’s box. Owner Fred Crabbia will be hoping that this icebreaker may lead to a few more wins for the 6yo, who has run close to some good sorts in the Cape.

Villa Del Largo’s victory was the first leg of a winning double for Justin Snaith, who followed up in the next

when Sunset Tripp (Robert Khathi) beat the luckless Purely Atomic. Villa Del Largo is one of the few progeny of Jallad still racing and is out of the three-time winning End Sweep mare, Belong To Me.

His breeders Highlands Stud also produced the winners of the Gr1 Cape Fillies Guineas and the Listed Southeaster Sprint (also for owner Fred Crabbia) at Kenilworth on Saturday.

Dorrie Sham’s yard maintained their excellent run of form to take the Fairview Friday training honours with a treble on the day.

The 6yo Jallad gelding Villa Del Largo broke a 29 month winning drought to get the ball rolling on a superb feature weekend for Highlands Stud, when he powered home under Andrew Fortune to win the R100 000 Glendore Sprint run on the Fairview turf track on Friday.

Now a six-year-old, the gelding had taken time to find his feet in Hong Kong as Rocket Let Win had suffered from a number of career damaging allergies and sinus problems.Rocket Let Win/Potent Power

had previously won the class 3 Nam Long Shan handicap worth HK $1, 000 000.00 for trainer Tony Cruz (brother of new trainer Danny Cruz) after being in quarantine for nearly a year and the son of National Emblem and winning Captain Al mare Solar Galleon has now won more than HK$1,300,000 since relocating to Hong Kong.

One of the best two-year-olds of his generation, Potent Power won three of just five outings in South Africa, with his important win coming in the 2012 Gr1 Tsogo Sun Medallion (beating subsequent Grade One winners Contador and Love Struck).

He formed part of a remarkable run of success that Riverton Stud has enjoyed in the Tsogo Sun Medallion. The Robertson based stud had no fewer than three winners of the Medallion in recent years (all of whom were trained in Dennis Drier). Link Man, who was born and raised at Riverton, won the Medallion back in 2010, while subsequent champion sprinter, the Riverton bred, Captain Of All won in 2013.

Rocket Let Win’s success was a timely win for his dam Solar Galleon. The latter, who is currently safely in foal to European champion Twice Over, had a lovely Blue Tiger two-year-old filly, who unfortunately had to be put down after breaking both her front legs. Solar Galleon, also the dam of the useful four time winner Solar Triptych, also has a lovely Judpot foal (described as a very, nice strong foal by Natasha Barry). Unfortunately she does not have a yearling this year.

ess than a length covered the first four home in the 1000m contest and with a good mix of fillies from across the country, Carry On Alice’s

connections will be feeling decidedly bullish with the Gr1 Cape Flying Championship as her short-term target.

eisius’ recent retirement from race-riding has opened a gap for the likeable Behr who has spent the last few years riding the Dean Kannemeyer second-stringers, with mixed success.

But on Saturday he was thrust into the hot seat and acquitted himself with aplomb, when scraping home on the Fred Crabbia owned Captain Alfredo in the 1100m sprint feature.

Kannemeyer, who continued with his purple patch 2000km away in Durban with a hat-trick at Greyville just 24 hours earlier, was as pleased as punch afterwards.

“Pound for pound, Grant is as strong as any jockey around and I’m really thrilled that he won this race. It will boost his confidence and that is a major factor for any jockey.

He just needs the chance to show his talent,” he said.

The race was on from the jump with Coenie De Beer’s speedy Overlord gelding Talktothestars stretching them and looking a winner with a three length lead at the 300m marker.

Grant Behr said that when he looked up ‘that horse was gone’.

“I was sitting eight to ten lengths back. Captain Alfredo has a turn of foot and he gave

Carry On Alice was SA Champion trainer Sean Tarry’s only runner on the big Summer Of Champions feature day and showed no symptoms of the second- run-post-a -rest hoodoo as she stormed to victory under regular pilot S’manga Khumalo.

KZN visitor Rock On Baby and Jo’s Bond led the charge

with Carry On Alice just off the pace from her 1 draw.

At the 400m the cavalry charge was spread across the width of the track as Greg Cheyne grabbed the initiative and sent the Kotzen-trained Princess Royal to lead.

The Princess looked to be going very well, but was quickly overwhelmed by Carry On Alice and Cuvee

Brut who went to the line together as one. The photo- finish snap showed that Carry On Alice had gotten the nod by a short head. She ran the strip in a time of 57,80 secs.

It was a terrific performance in the circumstances by Cuvee Brut, who was hard ridden by Anton Marcus.

Real Princess stormed through late under Grant Behr on the inside and she shaded Princess Royal for the third cheque.

Princess Royal was the first 3yo to finish with only 0,9 lengths separating the top four. The smart Joburg

3yo’s Entisaar (2,15 lengths) and Little Genie (2,30 lengths) failed to spark and never showed. Winning jockey S’manga Khumalo confirmed that the race hadn’t gone his way.

“I got some cover and that helped a lot. She is a top filly and gave her all,” he said.

Trainer Sean Tarry thanked his assistant Monique Mansour and trainer Eric Sands, who accommodates Carry On Alice.

“I feel the fact that we travelled a bit earlier this year after last year’s experience has helped a lot. We may go for

the Sceptre or Diadem before the Cape Flying,” said Tarry.

Carry On Alice was bred by Klawervlei Stud and is by Captain Al out of the four time winning Western Winter mare, Carry On Katie. Her dam was a multiple Gr1 placed Gr2 winner as a 2yo.

The Tarry flyer has now won 6 races with 9 places from 18 starts and R2 328 125 in stakes.

She sold for R475 000 on the Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 and races in the interests of Chris Van Niekerk, UK-based Dr J Warner and her breeders.

Dual Gr1 winner Carry On Alice stamped her class and authority and made it a feature double for her super sire Captain Al, when she got up in a thriller to win the R400 000 Gr2 Southern Cross Stakes at Kenilworth on Saturday.

it to me – I thought that I had left it a bit late. I got a fright when I saw the horse (Ernie) sneak up on the rail as I thought I was clear,” he said.

Behr put his head down on the smart Captain Alfredo and the Highlands bred 4yo kicked strongly.

The Mike Bass trained Ernie powered on from lengths back to ghost up unseen by Behr down the inside rail.

He failed by a head and the winner clocked 64,11 secs for the 1100m.

Trainer Dean Kannemeyer was full of praise for stallion Captain Al.

‘Well done to Mike Sharkey – Captain Al has another good one. And to Fred Crabbia and Emma Rorke, I appreciate their support. Captain Alfredo won his last start well and that was a strong race. I was impressed with the way he went to go and fetch that horse in front. I probably erred in running him in the Guineas and trying to get him to stay. He is a talented sprinter witha nice turn of foot,” he quipped. The Highlands bred Captain Alfredo is another smashing son of Captain Al out of the five time winner Zooming Zellie. A R750 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 purchase, Captain Alfredo has now won 5 races with 1 place from 9 starts.

He took his stakes earned to R264 138 and has won from 1000m to 1300m.

Approval Granted!

Jockey Grant Behr emerged from the gigantic shadow cast by his veteran colleague Karl Neisius to show that he can ride feature winners if just given the opportunity.

alk of a possible boycott by joc-keys of KZN racemeetings has emerged follow-ing a disgraceful tale of ineptitude and lack of care that has come to light in the wake of the

accident on Friday evening that saw jockey Jarred Samuel suffer

a bad fall after appearing to clip heels in the closing stages of the fourth race. The facts disclosed to the Sporting Post include details that the telephone number of St Augustine’s Hospital had to be googled by a member of the public and that the on-course doctor had no flashlight to check the stricken jockey’s pupils – using bystanders mobile phone torches instead.

“The St John’s first-aid staff are not adequately trained and do not have the equipment to deal with life threatening injuries such as that witnessed by us at Greyville on Friday evening. “The injured jockey was gurgling and choking in his own blood and his eyes were rolling in his head, yet the paramedics wanted to sedate him. They seemed panic stricken

and clueless,” said an angry family member of a jockey who was riding on the evening.

Samuel’s silks and safety vest were removed by a jockey’s wife and he was placed on his side by her in the process of stabilisation.

“The on-course doctor arrived without his medical bag and said that he didn’t think to bring it,” she said. She added that the polytrack was ‘bloody hard’ too.

“The configuration of the track means the ambulance has to go all the way around the track again as it cannot make a u-turn,” said another bystander. A trained medical person who witnessed the event, but wishes to remain anonymous for professional reasons, said that what should have taken ten minutes, took

“Does somebody have to die before they will upgrade and properly manage the medical surveillance facility at Greyville Racecourse?” asks a jockey’s distraught mother after eye-witness accounts of a bizarre comedy of errors and allegations of a lack of professionalism on the part of medical staff – which included the ambulance’s inability to gain quick access to an injured rider following a horror accident at the track on Friday evening.

Dear Sir,Re: Response to "Greyville Disgrace" Article - Sporting PostPlease allow us the opportunity to respond to the totally inaccurate article published on www.sportingpost.co.za in regards to jockey Jarred Samuel on Friday night. It is a great pity that they never contacted anyone to get the true facts regarding this incident.

Background Information

We have a dedicated team of paramedics that have been serving the Gold Circle events for many years. At every event, the ambulance is on site 1 hour before hand in case of traffic hold-ups or other unforeseen situations. A second ambulance is always on standby, as well as a response vehicle, just in case something happens to the dedicated vehicle or staff whilst they are on the way to the race. The ambulance is at all times manned by a ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT paramedic as well as a Basic Life Support Paramedic. The staff on duty on Friday have been at this particular track for many years (ALS - 6 years, BLS 2 years). The ambulance is equipped to full Advanced Life Support level, which includes all the normal ambulance equipment, with jump bags as well as a ventilator and cardiac monitor. Included is full spinal immobilization equipment, as well as two sets of cervical collars. Our vehicle has on several occasions been inspected at the track without forewarning and has always complied with these requirements. We welcome any inspection, at any time. The paramedics used are operational on the road when not at the races, and are exposed and highly experienced to everyday severe accidents and injuries, and have been doing this for many years.

On every day of racing, our ambulance follows every race with those two staff. No race has ever started without the ambulance following. St Johns ambulance is also on site, however they are responsible for the First Aid room, and have staff that have a Basic Ambulance Assistant qualification. A Doctor is also at the event, and is overall in charge of all medical situations, available over the radio at all times. Should a member of the audience require any sort of help, they would go to the First Aid Station. Should there be a injury on the track, before, during or after the actual race, the patient will receive immediate attention.

Stable patients are moved to the First Aid room once treated on the track where they will either be treated by the St Johns staff and the Doctor if needed, and await for a outside ambulance to transport them to hospital. This allows the track ambulance to be next to the track in time for the next race. However, if the injury is serious, and any delay could cause further injury to the patient, the ambulance will immediately leave the race with the patient whilst another ambulance is rushed to cover the event. This might delay the start of the next race. However, no race will start without the ambulance next to the track.

Facts On The Day"The EMS staff are not

adequately trained and do not have the equipment to deal with life threatening injuries such as that witnessed by us at Greyville on Friday evening".

The vehicle fully equipped to Advanced Life support level, with every bit of equipment required. The requirement list can be found on the SAPAESA webpage (South African Private Ambulance and Emergency Services Association), who are responsible for inspecting ALL ambulances in South Africa before a practice license can be issued. As mentioned, the staff are very experienced and highly qualified.

"The injured jockey was gurgling and choking in his own blood and his eyes were rolling in his head, yet the paramedics wanted to sedate him. They seemed panic stricken and clueless," said an angry family member of a jockey who was riding on the evening."

This statement shows the total lack of understanding of medical procedures by the writer. In order to remove any kind of fluid from the mouth or airway, the Paramedic has to suction the area. First line on protection is inserting a airway (oropharyngeal airway / OP airway), that forces the tongue forward and prevents it lying against the back of your airway, typically seen as 'snoring'. This keeps an open air passage for the air to enter the lungs. However, you have to be pretty unconscious to tolerate this. When you no longer have the ability to cough or swallow what is in the back of your mouth, you will inhale this into your lungs.

This could be saliva, blood or vomit etc. When The Paramedic inserted the OP airway into Jarred's mouth, however he clenched his teeth together preventing the insertion of this. This creates a problem with whatever is in the mouth that is causing the gurgling, which has to be removed urgently. Standard practice is to sedate the patient in order to get the muscles to relax, and the jaw to be opens so that he can be suctioned. However, this also causes the GAG reflex to disappear, so the patient has to be intubated to protect the airway.

This is exactly what the hospital does, and has been doing to him over the weekend, by placing him into a drug induced coma. This prevents the patient from fighting the machines, etc. This has to be done in a predetermined manner. What might seem panic stricken and clueless is a well rehearsed procedure. This was not made any easier by the fact that Jarred was extremely restless and ripped out the first drip that was set up, and the large crowd that had gathered. At this stage, a transport ambulance had already been called by the crew at the race.

"St John Ambulance man a public first-aid facility under the main stand and their staff were not involved in the incident. This was confirmed by an official from their Durban office, who said that they were not involved directly in jockey emergencies, which was the responsibility of the EMS."

"We have had a longstanding association with horseracing, but have two volunteers manning a facility. We would obviously assist where we could, but my staff have confirmed that they were not called to the scene of the accident," he said."

The St Johns staff are volunteers, not professionals, and have at most basic training. Legally they cannot even transport a stable patient with a drip up. However, they perform a vital role at the events.

"Samuel's silks and safety vest were removed by a jockey's wife and he was placed on his side by her in the process of stabilisation."

Again, this is totally incorrect. The silks and vest were in fact cut off Jarred by our Paramedic, Surina Maganlal herself.This was done, prior to turning Jarred on his side, in order to examine his spine and back for any injuries or wounds, as well as to allow the fluids in his moth to drain, whilst the sedation took effect. During this entire time, there was someone holding his head in line with his spine in order to make sure there was no movement of his cervical spine, just in case there was a cervical spinal injury.

"The on-course doctor arrived without his medical bag and said that he didn't think to bring it," she said."

The Doctor has to cater for all types of situations and medical cases. Our ambulance has two jump bags, one equipped to Intermediate Life support, and one Jump Bag equipped to Advanced Life Support, which also includes all resuscitation drugs. Any Advanced Life practitioner has access to this bag, as well as any doctor who requests them. They are far bigger and better equipped than any doctors bag, and are specifically equipped for trauma. Unlike a doctor, that is all we do. A doctor has to treat everything, right down to looking into someone's ear, diagnose a fever, headache, swollen

legs, etc. I can assure you that whatever the doctor needed for this emergency was available to him from our bag.

"She added that the polytrack was 'bloody hard' too."

"The configuration of the track means the ambulance has to go all the way around the track again as it cannot make a u-turn," said another bystander. A trained medical person who witnessed the event, but wishes to remain anonymous for professional reasons, said that what should have taken ten minutes, took roughly three times as long."

Again, this is totally inaccurate. The video footage of this incident will bear testimony to this. The moment the jockey fell, the vehicle stopped on the tar that runs next to the track and the Advanced Life Support paramedic exited the vehicle and ran to the jockey. The second ambulance crew opened the back and carried the equipment to the patient and the paramedic. Once the patient was stablilized and packaged for transport it proceeded to the TOTE board, through the golf parking area and onto the track, stopping next to the patient to load. This should have 'taken 10 minutes, instead it took 3 times as long?" 30 minutes to take a ambulance onto the track? Highly unlikely. it might have taken 30 minutes to treat, stabilize and package the patient, but that is why you have trained and qualified staff, rather than just throw the patient on a stretcher and race off to hospital. As per the patient report form (attached) it took 18 minutes from the time of the incident until leaving the track with the patient.

"The doctor should have intubated him up front - that is the basic process. Yet he kept saying it was 'touch and go'. The first aid-kit had to be used to prop Jarred's head up and the cervical collar was not available immediately. I don't want to knock fellow medical personnel unnecessarily, but really it was a poor show from start to finish...the doctor should have arrived with his torch and stethoscope as basic procedure."

The paramedic had all the equipment in the vehicle. Earlier in the report it was mentioned that the patient was gurgling and why the patient could not be intubated immediately. As soon as the sedation took effect, the patient was intubated. This equipment came from our ambulance. This same equipment is fitted with a torch in the front in order to illuminate the vocal chords when intubating. This same torch is used to shine in the patients pupils to see if they react to light. This is the only purpose of the torch. Once the sedation kicks in, the pupils relax and don't react in any case. We have 2 stethoscopes available in the ambulance. At all times a medic held onto Jarred's head until such time that the cervical collar was applied. The writer claims

that no collar was available, which is a blatant lie. It might not have been inside the overstuffed jump bag, but the ambulance is equipped with 2 sets of collars, 6 in total.

"It has also emerged that the Greyville Ambulance is not adequately equipped with life support apparatus to deal with an injury such as that suffered by Samuel and that it was held up in traffic en route to the hospital as it had no siren."

All equipment came from the ambulance. The vehicle is inspected and equipped to full advanced life support level. Racing to a hospital with sirens on has not happened since 1980. With the level of training and equipment in the vehicle, the patient receives the same treatment on site as he would in a casualty unit. The patient is stabilized on scene and transported. It is not possible to monitor and care for a patient that is slamming on brakes and racing through intersections, changing lanes and throwing the patient and attendant around in the back of a vehicle. This is even more important where there is a chance of a spinal injury. A smooth, stable and controlled trip to hospital is required. Everything the patient needs is with him in the vehicle. The vehicle is also most at risk when flying through intersections with sirens on. Most accidents happen here.

"In a further potentially life threatening time-wasting administrative bungle, the stock of an authorisation form meant to accompany the patient was also depleted after the start handler Mike Shaw had been kicked in the chest a week earlier - and the last form had been used for his case and not replenished."

We are not sure that this form refers to. If it is our patient report form, please see the attached Patient Report Form. The top number is our serial number. Books are printed in triplicate, in batches of 50, and this was defiantly not our last form.

"The whole show is just not good enough and smacks of incompetence and amateurism. Gold Circle management are aware of it from previous incidents. Do they care? Certainly not on what we saw on Friday evening," said a jockey's mother, who confirmed that there was no action on the part of the racing operator when the issues had been raised previously."

Every incident has been fully investigated. As always, we are happy to meet and discuss any event, the paramedics are happy to bring their side of

the event, and our vehicles remain accessible to anyone to inspect at any time. We have always given every requirement that Gold Circle requests, and consider them to be way ahead in their planning and preparedness towards any incident that might happen.

"The good news to emerge from sources close to the Samuel family is that Jarred's condition has stabilised after spending much of the weekend in an induced coma and he has no broken bones."

Please see the attached copy of today's newspaper. Jarred was kept in an induced coma for the entire weekend. This is exactly what we did on the track, before intubating him and packaging him BEFORE transporting him to hospital.

ConclusionI have absolutely no doubt

that there is an ulterior motive behind this report. It is based on misinformation and blatant lies. At no stage was the patient exposed to any risk at any stage, and received the best possible treatment from the time of his fall right up to the delivery at the hospital. We normally make use of Citimed Ambulance service for the transportation from Greyville, as they are based right next to the track. However, being a Friday night, and just after payday, all their ambulances were out. 5 additional ambulances were contacted, but all were busy. ER24 eventually managed to send a vehicle from Pinetown, but in the interest of the patient, it was decided to transport the patient and use the ER24 ambulance to cover the race until our vehicle returned to the track.

We are more than happy to sit with the family, Gold Circle as well as the 'medic' who has made these accusations. We are passionate about what we do. We don't run EVENT MEDICAL SERVICES as a part time business. It is a dedicated stand-alone company with passionate staff. We have a dedicated fleet of 12 ambulances, that are specific to the requirements of the event.

Hoping that this sets the records straight. Please feel free to contact us at any time should you need further clarity or further information.

roughly three times as long. “The doctor should have incubated him up front – that is the basic process. Yet he kept saying it was ‘touch and go’.

I don’t want to knock fellow medical personnel unnecessarily, but really it was a poor show from start to finish – the doctor should have arrived with his torch and stethoscope as basic procedure.”

It has also emerged that the Greyville Ambulance is not adequately equipped with life support apparatus to deal with an injury such as that suffered by Samuel and that it was held up in traffic en route to the hospital as it had no siren.

That is a shocking indictment of poor planning and a lack of care on the part of management overseeing one of the world’s most dangerous sports. In a further

The good news to emerge from sources close to the Samuel family is that Jarred’s condition has stabilised after spending much of the weekend in an induced coma and he has no broken bones.

a n y ( m a n y ) years ago, I rode in an am-ateur race at Kenilworth. I thought I was a d e q u a t e l y prepared - I’d

done lots of prep work, we’d passed our pens certificate with flying colours and I ascribed my normally kind and steady horse’s sudden flightiness to the violent strain of South-easter that seems exclusively reserved for Milnerton. The night before the race, I packed and re-packed my bag to make sure I hadn’t missed anything. My kit was clean, my boots were polished and my breeches were so white they hurt the eye. I even remembered the extra lead I needed to make the weight (oh happy days!).

Almost as an afterthought, I packed a vial of Rescue Remedy in case my horse got upset having to travel on his own. Bizarrely, while I fretted about a million things, the one thing I didn’t worry about was my horse. We were pretty tight and with that wonderful confidence of youth and female logic I was sure that no matter what happened, I could count on him to look after me. I had factored without the demon that apparently lurked in our horsebox and decided to possess him during the drive to the race course!

My dad, who’d spent the day chain smoking, looked in danger of going up in smoke altogether as we headed to the saddling box. How we got the saddle on I still don’t know and it took two grooms to lead us round

the parade ring and keep us from taking off like a helium balloon and disappearing into the ether. Reaching for the Rescue Remedy, I ignored the dosage instructions and necked the lot. The point is that sometimes danger lurks in unexpected places. Of course, sometimes it does not, and in such cases, it’s really unforgiveable that we should bury our heads in the sand and hope for the best.

Inherent DangerHorses, as the old expression

goes, are dangerous at both ends and uncomfortable in the middle. Throw a whole bunch of them together in a high pressured, electric environment and you can dial the danger factor up to ‘are you crazy?’ I was fretting over one of my horses one day when my exasperated trainer finally exploded: ‘It’s just a maiden race, not the bloody Grand National you know!’ He was right, it was ‘just a maiden’, but the problem is that racing doesn’t occasionally just lapse into ‘are you crazy’ territory – that’s where we do business. And every time we get onto, or even near a horse, we risk potential injury.

Horse riding is one of the most dangerous sporting activities bar none. Statistics reflect that every rider can expect a serious injury for approximately every 350 hours of riding, which means that as the old horsemen say, it’s not a question of if you’re going to get hurt, it’s simply a question of when and how bad it will be.

As I wrote in these very pages not too long ago, one hopes for the best, but you plan for the worst. If danger and injury are a given – and it’s blindingly obvious that they are - then it stands to reason that racing should take every possible precaution and be prepared for any and every eventuality on a race day. If one compares the number of medics and first aid staff on stand by at any given rugby game to the numbers we have on race days, it’s patently clear that racing falls very short.

Do the basicsLet’s look at a few basics

needed to get through an average race day: A serviceable track, working starting stalls, hose pipes on a hot day, (out in plain sight and extra points if it’s connected to a tap); the dreaded green screen, a firearm or other means of attending to a horse that needs to be euthanized and people who are qualified to perform the deed if necessary.

Working radios and communication equipment (checked regularly and batteries changed), the emergency vehicles (fueled up, if you please), trained medics, fire extinguishers and correctly stocked first aid boxes. Is anyone else feeling a little uncomfortable?

Jockeys have all sorts of rules and regulations about their equipment, the specs on their safety vests and interestingly, the NHA has just implemented rule changes requiring jockeys to have a minimum of R1 million life assurance and disability cover. We do random drug and urine tests and we take specimens from our runners and riders to ensure that they’re all operating at full capacity. But what about the guys running the show? Who checks up on them? Because I don’t see any NHA rules as far as they’re concerned. Mind you, we know how our regulators feel about rules!

It would be interesting to find out whether our tracks carry any public liability insurance and what their minimum responsibilities are in terms of safety for rider, horse and groom (yes, they’re on course too).

I wouldn’t like to bet money on whether grooms are ever shown around the facilities and told where to go and what to do in case of an emergency and these are the guys who spend most of their time dealing with the horses and therefore most at risk. Even office workers have regular fire drills to make sure everyone knows the basics of not using the lifts, which exits

to use and where to assemble. It would be interesting to find out whether there are safety drills at the race course. No, nevermind, don’t answer that.

This is the sort of stuff that used to fall under ‘common sense’, but unfortunately one can’t take common sense for granted these days, so we’ve had to turn it into a job description and name it ‘Health & Safety’ (or as my husband likes to term the South African version, ‘health or safety’). However, it seems that even that isn’t enough.

Race day processes and procedures are something we are remarkably relaxed about, given that we make a living hurtling groups of highly strung horses around man made tracks at a hundred miles an hour. Most folks are hard pressed to find their way onto the course, nevermind where to find help in an emergency.

The safety access road (good luck trying to get a vehicle onto the Kenilworth track in a hurry), a serviceable vehicle, a correctly equipped first aid box, a trained paramedic, a list of emergency contact numbers - these are the boring, unsexy minutiae vital to getting us safely through a race day. We’re supposed to take care of those things first, not as an afterthought once we’ve decided what to serve for lunch. Somehow we seem to get these things back to front.

PrioritiesIn a very short space of

time, we’ve had the most ridiculous polytrack design implemented at Greyville with a tar road right next to the track, no safety ditch and concrete pillars at regular intervals along the far side of the tarred road. In June last year, Richard Fourie suffered a nasty fall on Jet Explorer in the Gold Challenge.

While much was made of Jet Explorer’s horrific injuries (and rightly so), other than missing Richard in some of the KZN winter features, very little was said about his injury. I like horses as much as the next bunny hugger, but it’s an upside down world where an

injured horse generates more concern than his fallen jockey – someone’s son, husband and father.

One wonders quite what it will take to get someone to sit up and pay attention? If recent events are anything to go by, that turns out to be S’manga Khumalo lying out on the Turffontein track on International day and Jarred Samuel being in hospital in an induced coma. Really guys? We need to risk two lives before we review our policies?

After the Smanga incident, we asked whether there were two ambulances on course. The answer should have been available immediately – safety procedures should be a given, not the subject of an inventory check. Instead we were put in a holding pattern of ‘we’re launching an enquiry.’ There is a man lying in hospital in a coma after a series of bungles that Fawlty Towers would be proud of and again, we’re ‘having an enquiry’.

I’d wager that if it hadn’t been for these events happening so close together, there probably wouldn’t be a fuss at all. If it requires two high profile falls to ‘launch an enquiry’, the odds of getting someone to be proactive and take action BEFORE we have a mishap seem staggering. Does there really need to be blood on the grass before we realise that there are real lives at stake here?

Folks, this isn’t a hobby. These are our day jobs – the fact that we’re having to discuss this is frankly terrifying.

If you have to die, do it at the airportDid you know that the best

place to have a heart attack (other than a hospital of course) is an airport, because they usually keep a defibrillator on site. Interestingly, other places that also usually have them are shopping malls and surprise surprise, casinos. Considering the volume of people passing through these facilities on a daily basis, it’s inevitable that at some point someone is going to need one and therefore they take the necessary precautions.

Given the volume of horses we deal with and the dangers involved, the racecourse should be so well prepared and versed in safety procedures that it should be one of the BEST places to have an accident, not the worst. And while the spotlight is uncomfortably focused on our race tracks at the moment, it’s worth sparing a thought for our training facilities. A racecourse usually has around 100 horses on site on any given race day. Training centres have many times that number and far more horses sharing the track at the same time, plus jockeys, grooms, trainers, assistants and the odd owner and visitor. Where are the safety, medical and veterinary facilities? (answers on a post card). Some yards still don’t have workmen’s compensation for their grooms!

Our jockeys get a lot of stick, but there are not many people who start their day at 4am, forced out into the elements come rain, sleet or shine to face living, breathing, unpredictable creatures 10 times their body weight, at speeds of up to 60 km per hour.

Not many who have the supreme discipline to survive the physical hardships and deprivations of the gym and sweat box, pushing their bodies to the limits of their endurance to sweat off that one last ounce for the privilege of sitting on a half ton of revved up horse power.

Few with the nerves to withstand the continuous series of high pressured, high velocity, split second decisions, under the tightest scrutiny and with thousands of rands riding on every move; who can go from hero to zero and back again in the space of an afternoon. There are not many professionals that are followed by an ambulance every time they go to work, but those that do, are called jockeys.

With million rand owners, horses and race days, and thousands of rands riding on them in every race, our jockeys have about a hundred things to worry about on race day – safety procedures should not be one of them.

There’s a John Betjeman poem called False Security. It’s about a little boy going to a children’s birthday party. The boy is nervous about having to walk past a scary house, supposedly haunted by a ghost.

He makes it past the house and, triumphant, has a lovely time at the party, only to be broadsided on departure by a cruel, thoughtless comment by his hostess’s mother – “I wonder where Julia found that strange, rather common little boy?”

Ralph Rixon

On 5 December 2015, Silver Mountain raced her way into the history books by winning the Cape Fillies Guineas.

One doesn’t often write about the horse that finished second, but when that horse is called Our Destiny and runs in the red and yellow silks of Ralph and Val Rixon, one makes an exception.

RALPH and Val are one of racing, if not life’s, larger than life characters and it is a joy to not only have them back on course, but seeing them have a really nice filly – and a homebred one at that! Our Destiny comes with a lovely story, which Val tells with relish. “The grandam, Galactic Way, was a polo pony that we gave to a friend in Durban called Johnny Rey. She was quite well bred and when it looked as though the family was on the up, we got hold of her and sent her to Terry Silcock. We bred her to Sapieha and that really goes back – Terrance (Millard) had a share in that horse, so it’s quite a story. “

Ralph continues, “We got Plumosa, which we raced in partnership with Johnny. When she retired I offered to buy him out, but he said he’d stuck out all these years with us, and wanted to stay in. The first foal was a very nice horse that Woodruff had (Disa Leader). We had very high hopes and it won 3 or 4 like a champ, but something happened and it went cold on us. Geoff said he could get a price for him from Mauritius, so we sent him there and he won 7 races and was Mauritius Horse of the Year in 2010. Then he was sold to Dubai.”

Plumosa’s next foal was Split The Profit, who was a useful sort over sprint distances and raced with Glen Kotzen and Mitch Wiese. “It was with much gnashing of teeth on my part that we sent her to Var – he’s quite expensive - but this is the result!” says Val cheerfully. Our Destiny has had 4 starts for a win and 3 seconds, most recently to Silver Mountain in the Cape Fillies Guineas.

About themVal’s father was the wine

maker at Constantia and she learned to ride as a child. Ralph was born in Claremont, “right near where all the professional trainers had all their stables. Doncaster Road in Kenilworth was like Milnerton is now – all the trainers, like Gorton and Syd Garett, were along there. My mother was from Holland and came to South Africa as an 18 year old. My father was

an RAF aircraft mechanic. After the war they sent a lot of planes out here and were here for 5 or 6 years. Dad was in charge of the mechanical side of them. When they packed up, he said he liked it such a lot, he was staying. He met my mother, got married and that was that.”

Ralph was the second of the couple’s four children. His sister Joyce, his senior by two years, went on to marry Terrance Millard. “After school we used to toddle down to the stables and look at the horses. Eventually the grooms put us on and lead us around. The horses quietened down once we were on their backs and that’s how it started.” Ralph started riding work and eventually had a string of amateur racehorses. He was also an accomplished polo player. “The polo field was behind Kenilworth – everything was close.”

Amateur ranks“In those days, Durbanville

was an amateur track. The weights were higher and all of us that couldn’t be jockeys rode there - Terrance, Botten, Alan Higgins – the whole lot of us. When they turned Durbanville into a professional course, most of us became professional trainers.”

“I was involved in a big way. As a youngster of 16 I had about 15 horses in training. My father said the racing game was not a good business to be in and said I must either take a trade or go my own way, so I became an apprentice carpenter. I did 5 years with my uncle, who was a big builder in Cape Town and once I finished, Val and I got married in 1953. A friend of Val’s parents said come to Northern Rhodesia, there’s work and good money and I said ‘that’s me!’ and we packed up and went for two years. That stretched into 14, but within 5 years I’d organised professional racing in Northern Rhodesia on the copper belt. It was very nice and one of the things I appreciated doing in my life. There were 4 mines up there approximately 30 km from each other. Each made their own racecourse. The kids had gymkhanas on a Saturday and we’d have an 8 race card

of flat racing on Sundays. Val was my work rider and was Champion jockey in 1966,” he says proudly.

After 14 years, the Rixons returned to South Africa. Ralph continues. “Somebody found out that I was home and said there was a big contract in Observatory they wanted me to work on. I said I was going to start training. They said please do this and offered me a good bonus, so I built the place. In the meantime I’d bought ground in Philippi and started building stables there. I got a bulldozer and cleared all the bush and made a beautiful sand track. Nine months after I stopped work, I took out my license and started training.”

Big horsesRalph still rates Jamaican

Music as the best horse he ever trained. “He was an absolute champ – he won the Nursery, the Guineas, the Derby and the July - you can’t ask for more.” A client by the name of Dr Crohin wanted a grey horse, so Ralph duly visited Granville Gorton and was taken with the son of Jamaico in the paddock. “We bought him off the farm. Dr Crohin came down from South West Africa with a big suitcase, opened it up in front of Granville and he couldn’t refuse! Crohin was one of the best owners I ever had. When I won the July, he said go and pick a car. I said I’d seen a nice, medium sized car, I’m not sure of the make and he said, ‘you’re not buying that rubbish, go and get a Mercedes!’ So I went and bought a beautiful Mercedes that I had for years and years. Every race the horse ran, he gave me something big. I’ve got a watch on today that he gave me when Jamaican Music won the Hawaii Stakes. I wore it for many years and one day something happened and I had to send it to Johannesburg to be looked at. They phoned and said it had to be insured, so I said insure it then. The man asked whether I knew what it was worth and it turned out to be R24k! It was a gold watch with a gold strap and one of the best makes in the world. He was very good to us.”

“Once I’d won all those big races, the clients started coming along and I had an average of 100 horses in training. I was always based in Philippi - it was really easy there, the ground was beautiful and we made the track through the bush so the south easter didn’t blow the sand away. I had my own truck and used to take my horses to Kenilworth to the grass track.”

That’s racingFestive Season was his

next big success. “Every year I used to buy myself a filly at the sales. Festive Season was bred by Colin Tyler and I’d paid R6k for her. One of my patrons was worried that they hadn’t got a horse yet. When I said it will come, he said what about Festive Season? So I said alright, you take her, I’ll buy another. I bought another filly for R21k on the same day – I was probably getting desperate at the end – she never won a race. That’s the racing game for you!”

Ralph got 1986 J&B Met winner, Wild West, from Paul de Wet. “I’d seen him on the farm and his front legs weren’t the best, but he was well bred and the Roland Gardens all stayed well. When he got to the sales, he’d improved on the legs, and I thought he’d go for a lot of money. In the end, I bought him for R40k which was a bargain. I left him alone for 6 months to mature, then I trotted and cantered him for 6 months to get him strong and teach him where to put his legs. He was a very good horse, but he always had those legs and eventually he broke a leg in front of the post at Clairwood and had to be put down.”

A disgruntled client brought him 1989 Gold Cup winner Tropicante from the Herman Brown yard. “He had shocking legs. He stood in ice every day for 2 years, but he was a very good stayer.”

Heir to Riches was a topclass homebred. “We bred him in our back paddock. He was bits and pieces all the way along. I got a mare that couldn’t gallop too well and said I’ll put her to stud. Terrance had the stallion (Kama) so I got a

free service. We kept him in the back stable and he got the leavings from the rest of the horses – that’s how we managed to breed a few. One of my clients bought him off me and 18 months later wanted to change trainers. I said, only a pleasure, but tell you what, give me my horse back. In exchange I offered him an Argentinian horse that had won 2 races – a maiden a novice – and he said that’s very fair and took it. I got Heir To Riches and three months later he won the big race at Clairwood. The other never won another race. That’s racing!” he chuckles.

MentorRalph had three assistants

during his career – Geoff Woodruff, his son Guy Rixon and Glen Kotzen. “All three were champion trainers, so I’ve got something to live for in the results. With My Destiny I can say I helped Glen train that horse, even if it was 30 years ago!” he jokes.

“Glen is very close to me. When Guy passed on, the two of us were great mates and it’s never stopped, which is very nice. He’s a very nice chap and he’s got a very nice wife. He’s a good horseman and he always does well, but if you haven’t got horses, you can’t win races. He hit a bit of a flat spot last year - he didn’t have a good sale,

which tells when the horses start to run, but it’ll come. The racing game is very up and down – one year you have a champion and the next year nothing. It’s just a question of time.”

Ralph also mentored Karl Neisius. “He served his whole apprenticeship with me. He was a great rider and a very good horseman. He had very good hands. He rode for me for a long time after his apprenticeship too.”

Ralph retired in about 1994. They briefly settled Hout Bay, before moving to Cape Infanta and the two are currently based at Helderberg Village in Somerset West. “It’s absolutely fabulous – I don’t even have to change a lightbulb!”

Our DestinyVal and Ralph are having a

lot of fun with their filly and don’t mind finishing second to Silver Mountain. “That’s a real cracker, probably one of the best I’ve seen, but we won’t run into her again,” he muses. “She’ll be going for the big stuff now. Our filly pulled up well after the Guineas. We’ve got no plans for now, but we’ll put our heads together and place her nicely. I don’t want to push her. She’s a good filly and

what she doesn’t win this year, she’ll win next

year.”


AMSDEN’SAMBLINGS

To own a decent horse in Gauteng must be a pleasure indeed. There are so many nicely endowed races slotted into the calendar, and some of them are so poorly supported, that

to cash-strapped owners elsewhere it must look like Father Christmas working overtime to give away all his goodies.

ands Of Time: 6 - 12 December 1995

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

nd prize money levels are going up again in 1996!The 7 December Viljoensdrif Handicap at the Vaal for example over 2200m offered a very nice R40 000 to the

winner (not much less than some Graded events in other Provinces).

While the market suggested a match between Gold Panner and Faradeh, Vino Rosa simply murdered them both.

Having her first start since joining the stable of David Ferraris, the five-year-old Foveros mare wasn’t going to be beaten

Dance Every Dance to prove which is the better filly.

Both have had excuses before and this time, everything went right for Dance Every Dance, while League Title just went nowhere in the straight after racing further off the early gallop than is usually the case.

Dance Every Dance has always looked a potential classic filly from the moment she blew her rivals away in Clairwood Park’s Computaform Debutante Stakes last May. One thing’s for sure, Mike Airey’s filly likes a racetrack with a nice long run-in and, unlike the Fillies Guineas’ usual home around

Big Money & Small Fields

from the moment she strolled past early pacemaker Lord Orizaba around 400m from home. She ran right away from the opposition in the last furlong to beat Faradeh by 6.5 lengths, while conceding him 2kgs.

Not bad for a mere (??) female, considering that Faradeh accounted for none other than The Monk when successful in the 1994 Computaform Derby at Newmarket!

Dance ClassThe Gr2 Cape Fillies Guineas Futurity run at

Kenilworth on 9 December looked to be a long awaited showdown between League Title and

the near bend at Milnerton, the new course at Kenilworth presented her with just that opportunity.

Last StrideThe daughter of Northern

Guest needed every yard of that straight, for she was virtually last turning for home, and it was only in the last stride that she snatched victory from outsider She’s A Treat.

Plastic Lady had set a brisk early pace, with She’s A Treat coming across from a poor draw to race second ahead of Royal Prophecy and Final Claim.

She’s A Treat took over from a tiring Plastic Lady

halfway down the straight, with Royal Prophecy in hot pursuit along the far rail and Dance Every Dance starting to fly up the centre.

Royal Prophecy had to switch around She’s A Treat in the last 100m, a move which might just have cost Tony Millard’s challenger the race, but Dance Every Dance had a clear track ahead of her and she snatched first prize in barely the nick of time.

The unfortunate Royal Prophecy was a head back in third, and more than confirmed the promise that she had shown against lesser rivals in Gauteng.

A

ith a total of 31 yearlings from this highly rated stallion in Book 1, and recent international Group wins by mature runners Mourinho and Military Attack, Avontuur Estate believes that Oratorio’s contribution to classic racing in this country will be immense.Oratorio has consistently been in the leading

sires lists in Europe and with 7 international Group 1 winners to his name he is sure to be well received in SA as a proven sire of tough, sound, classic horses.

“We’ve had some exposure to him in this country with Ottimo, Orator’s Daughter and most recently Bella’s Empire strutting their stuff,” says GM Pippa Mickleburgh.

“This sale is the culmination of a dream which started with his arrival at Avontuur in October 2013 and is now becoming reality. He was visited by an excellent calibre of mares in his first and second seasons and with the latest achievements by his international campaigners, has proven his longevity, consistency and toughness, which comes through in his progeny. “

From the Avontuur crop, Pippa is most excited about a muscular filly called Hot Chocolate out of excellent race mare Mochachino and the strong colt out of A Daughter’s Legacy called Ancestry.

Another good looking colt is the half-brother to Contador out of Fine Wood, who is a racy attractive specimen. Although much of the interest for this Sale is built around Oratorio, Avontuur is presenting some excellent Var’s as well with a well-grown flashy filly out of Baltic Beauty heading the list.

“She is from the family of Mother Russia and has such a zest for life and lots of personality, I look forward to seeing more of her in future,” says Pippa. Rumbavar out of Muambo is another filly who is a full sister to multiple winner Varumba, and should be interesting to watch as well. Pippa has invited interested buyers to make an appointment with her at Avontuur Estate for a private viewing between 5 January to 15 January, or from the 19th at Avontuur’s Stud Lounge at the CTICC.

would like to congratulate the whole Bass Racing Team on the superb performance of Silver Mountain. We were lucky enough to train the dam, Our Table Mountain. We won a few races with her, including some Listed races. She was quite a good filly with a

beautiful pedigree and it is no surprise to see her produce something as beastly good as the winner we saw on Saturday.

Silver Mountain is a total and utter machine. I think we have been lucky down here in the Western Cape to see two extraordinary individuals, both in the colts and the fillies ranks.

The CTS Ready to Run winner is no slouch and this filly is as good as anything I have seen in many a year. Will they clash? We will have to wait and see but obviously the Million dollar race will probably end up being Silver Mountain’s target, having got Grade 1 black type under her belt. The big money will be difficult to turn down even for an industrious man like Dr Andreas Jacobs.

Nailed ItA couple of the other feature races were

interesting, producing some decent results. Carry On Alice is really as hard as nails. She travels here, there and everywhere and always puts in her best performance. She really is something out of the top drawer but I think it is her heart that makes her the special one that she is.

It is typical of the progeny of Captain Al. We have quite a nice week’s racing ahead

with the Victress Stakes and we have a filly in that called Gallica Rose.

She is a lot like Carry On Alice in that she also started life off slowly and blossomed into a Grade 2 filly. I think if one had told racing manager, Justin Vermaak, that is what she would have ended up as he would have fallen over backwards. However, she keeps getting better and fingers crossed it keeps happening this season.

Monday morning, as always, was busy here and we had quite an interesting group of

Difficult Decisions

people at the yard who do skits for the internet and television.

Jonathan (Rikus de Beer) and his crew from Radio Raps are doing something entertaining on the J&B Met. They mostly do it in Afrikaans so I could be in a little trouble when it comes to them talking to me. I have a basic understanding but when I am having the mickey taken out of me, I could be way out of my depth. I am not looking forward to the next half hour.

Blanks It is not often one sees the powerful Mike

de Kock stable come down and finish up blank in the two main feature races.

I wonder if with that wonderful and infallible thing called hindsight, he would not have wanted to swap his pair of runners around.

Entisaar did not quite fire but is plainly

better than that and I am sure once she has settled in down here, we will get to see the best of her. Noor, who ran in the Fillies Guineas, just looked totally outpaced and was run off her feet the whole way. We are sure to see more of her again.

Fillies Guineas day was lovely weather-wise and a smashing day. There was a rather strange man entertaining the children – and some of the adults. He certainly would not be one for my kid’s parties.

There is great racing ahead, not just here but everywhere. We have King of Pain coming up for his second run. Everyone at the yard loves him and we are hoping to see some of his old form. I was extremely happy with his sprint up last time out.Read the whole story on www.joeyramsden.com

IWell, it has been a funny old week, full of ups and downs. Sadly more downs than ups. Sometimes some difficult decisions have to be taken, writes Joey Ramsden.

s I pen this looking out into the clear blue skies that I am glad to report are haze free here in Singapore, I cannot believe my two week break has come and gone so rapidly.What a trip it was.

Some time spent with family and friends was just awesome and although I probably need a holiday from the holiday it was most definitely worth it.

I managed to attend racing at Kenilworth last Wednesday and I got to meet up and see many a familiar face.

It was one of the highlights of the trip and i forgot just how great racing can be on a Wednesday there.

I just wish the masses could see it the way the regulars do. In a perfect world, I would race there every race day in Summer.

The Bell Tolls It would be remiss of me to mention all

of those that made my trip so special and memorable with fear of leaving someone out, but I do want to mention a very special couple.

I was privileged enough to attend the Wedding of my dear friends Naldo and Claudia this past Saturday.

Naldo and I attended the same school

he global racing calendar reaches a competitive climax every year with the LONGINES Hong Kong Inter-national Races. The Club welcomes

Owners, Trainers, Jockeys and racegoers from around the world to this week-long party, racing festival and supremacy decider.

The first big event of the festivities is the LONGINES International Jockeys’ Championship on Wednesday 9 December, probably the most fiercely contested jockeys’ challenge anywhere in the world, and the most demanding, too, as it takes place round the spectacularly unique inner-city course that is Happy Valley. South African champion Gavin Lerena is amongst the twelve world-class jockeys representing their countries or regions.

A short synopsis of each feature:

Longines Hong Kong Cup -Hk$25 MillionStaged at first as the Hong

Kong Invitation Cup in January 1988 when overseas entries were confined to Malaysia and Singapore, Flying Dancer, trained by HK legend Brian Kan Ping-chee, emerged victorious.

In 1989, the Hong Kong Cup’s invitational list was expanded to include horses from Australia and New Zealand but the glory went to Singapore as Colonial Chief,

THE sale, which concluded on Thursday, ended with a turnover of 46,513,500 gns –just shy of 2014’s total of 48,290, 695 gns.

The top lot sold, Hanky Panky, was knocked down to John Ferguson for 2,700,000 guineas. A daughter of Epsom Derby winner and champion sire Galile, she sold in foal to leading sire Dubawi, the latter being represented by no fewer than 11 individual G1 winners in 2015. Hanky Panky, who won and placed third in the G3 Ballyogan Stakes, was consigned to the sale by Highclere Stud on behalf of John Sikura.

Highclere’s Lady Carolyn Warren was understandably overjoyed with the result. ““It is a huge privilege to sell a mare such as this,” said Lady Carolyn Warren, “and we thank John Sikura for entrusting us with her. She is a beautiful mare and ticked every box.

“There were a lot of different parties interested, and a lot of different people

resident sire Tiger Dance, topped the 2015 Tattersalls December Mare Sale.

bidding. We are very pleased that Sheikh Mohammed bought her, he is such a huge supporter of the industry.”

The beautifully bred Hanky Panky always looked likely to prove a standout –a daughter of the world’s leading sire, she is out of the top class mare Mariah’s Storm (by Rahy), whose ten wins included the G2 Arlington Washington Lassie S, and the G2 Turfway Park BC Hcp.

Mariah’s Storm, however, is best known as the dam of Horse Of The Year and three times champion US sire Giant’s Causeway.

The latter’s full brother, Tiger Dance, currently stands at stud in the Western Cape, while G2 Cherry Hinton winner You’resothrilling (an own sister to Giant’s Causeway and Tiger Dance), is the dam of G1 Irish 1000 Guineas winner Marvellous and this year’s G1 2000 Guineas hero Gleneagles, who has since been retired to Coolmore Stud.

Time Flies By

Afor many a year and he wed the love of his life. It was the first time in a very long time that there were so many of us “friends” in the same place at once. I managed to catch the garter (to the joy of my mother who feels it is time i settled down and provided her with some grand children!) and we duly celebrated late into the night and I am just glad I made it to the airport on time.

The wedding was another highlight of the trip and I am happy to report that Mr and Mrs Dos Reis will be spending a day with me en route back to SA in two weeks time. I wish them many years of happiness together.

TestI cannot believe we are at the end of the

year already, it has flown bye, just like my holiday, and on reflection I am still very happy with my decision to take up my position here. As amazing as it was coming home, I feel that I need to continue to test myself.

One thing is for sure, I am proudly South African and it will always be home, but I still have so much I want to achieve and I really do look forward to what the future holds.

I will review the season next week and add some”spice” with my take on some Pepper Awards from the season past.

Till next time.

Things are gearing down locally with the final two Singapore meetings of the year taking place this weekend. Thereafter we have a two week racing break and return on New Year’s Day with some quality racing, writes Gareth Pepper.

Thandled by legend trainer Ivan Allan at the time, later champion trainer in Hong Kong. The winner was ridden by favourite Hong Kong Champion Jockey and later Champion Trainer Tony Cruz.

Late in 1989 the meeting was brought forward by a month to its current slot in mid-December - except for 1992 when the races were postponed because of an equine virus which forced the temporary suspension of racing in Hong Kong. That season’s events were later staged in April 1993. Horses trained in New Zealand took three of the next four renewals: Grey Invader (at the meeting’s record odds of 72/1) in 1989; Kessem in 1990 and Romanee Conti in 1993, the year the race was granted international Gr. 3 status.

In the midst of the Kiwi dominance came a victory for River Verdon in 1991, one of the greatest horses in HK racing history, a HK Derby winner and still the only horse to land the local Triple Crown; and shortly afterwards Motivation followed up for HK and trainer John Moore.

Longines Hong Kong Mile Hk$23 MillionThe LONGINES Hong

Kong Mile was originally run as the Hong Kong Invitation Bowl over 1400 metres in December 1991 to mark the staging of the 22nd Asian Racing Conference in Hong Kong. It was renamed the Hong Kong International Bowl in the second year. The

Hong Kong International Bowl was given international Group 3 status in 1994 and was accorded international Group 2 status in 1995. In 1999, the race was renamed the Hong Kong Mile and the race distance was extended to 1600 metre from its original distance of 1400m. In 2000, it was further upgraded to an international Group 1 mile event.

Longines Hong Kong Sprint - Hk$18.5

MillionThe LONGINES Hong

Kong Sprint, formerly the Hong Kong Sprint, was added to the Hong Kong International Races in 1999. It was initially run as a Listed Race and was accorded international Group 3 status in 2000 and was then promoted to Group 2 status in 2001. In 2002, the Sprint was further upgraded to an international Group 1 event. In 2006, the distance of the race was revamped from a straight 1000 metres to a one-turn 1200-metre race. In the same year, the race became the final leg of the Global Sprint Challenge.

Longines Hong Kong Vase - Hk$16.5

MillionThe LONGINES Hong

Kong Vase was originally run as the Hong Kong International Vase, which was introduced in December 1994 as a third International Race to encourage Hong Kong horse owners to import top-class stayers.

WHATEVER else happened when Chautauqua came out of the Longines Hong Kong Sprint, we were left with shifting tides and questions as far as the world’s premium location for producing turf sprinters.

In Strathmore and Not Listenin’tome we were left with the only Australasian-bred runners in the race, the lowest roll-up in the history of the event as that group attempts to regain a race it dominated for so long.

In the first running of the Sprint in 1999, just four of the runners were Australasian-breds but Australian-bred Fairy King Prawn prevailed and set in motion a path which continued unswervingly for more than a decade.

In increasing numbers, Australasian-breds made up the field in the Hong Kong Sprint, often half or more, and, more to the point, they won.

On Sunday the Turf World Championships offering HK$83 Million in stakes will be held at Sha Tin Racecourse in Hong Kong.

And, as the calendar year’s final chance to make a claim on “world’s best sprinter”, the Hong Kong Sprint winner did often finish with that title if impressive enough at Sha Tin and the likes of Silent Witness, Absolute Champion and Sacred Kingdom certainly were that.

We’re being a little generous and including New Zealand-breds, as many Australian stallions stand in that country, so there’s a lot of the same gene pool involved.

If we left out Kiwi-breds, the group would lose only one Hong Kong Sprint winner, Aerovelocity, but losing the most recent winner would give the trend a stronger look - no Australian-bred winner since Sacred Kingdom in 2009.

J J The Jet Plane from South Africa, Irish-bred Lucky Nine and Japan’s Lord Kanaloa preceded Aerovelocity’s win over two Irish-breds and a Japanese mare.

And while there have been some excellent recent performances down under by sprinters, including a

couple of terrific wins by Chautauqua, the freakish has been missing along with a real consistency.

Turf sprinting in Australia lately has become an international championship in the manner of the baseball World Series, with the “WBS” sash passed around by themselves and amongst themselves, and every time there’s been a different Group One winner, a different hand went up.

In terms of world rankings, Chautauqua, even Lankan Rupee, is on top so there will continue to be a certain conceit in Australia about its production of sprinters.

But, with just two Sha Tin reps, the harder, more reality-based view of the betting markets is certainly going to be suggesting that a drought will continue for Australian-breds on Sunday.

Australia’s Fading Speed Crown


Still Going StrongGreyville 29th November

A graduation plate over 1000m got proceedings underway on Sunday afternoon and here victory went to the well-supported second favourite MR ROY. In what was the first of just two races to be run on the poly, Alyson Wright’s charge raced in midfield early on. He ran on stoutly in the short home straight and with the rest comfortably beaten he got the better of the 8/1 shot NATIONAL APPROVAL. The fastest of the four 1400m races on turf was not surprisingly the pinnacle stakes won by Sporting Post’s top bet ICE MACHINE. Always in the red, the 7yo son of Silvano also came from midfield. He put his head in front shortly after passing the 200m marker and won going away by three and a half.The three remaining races on turf all took place over 1800m and quickest home amongst these was OLMA when registering her fifth career victory from fifteen starts in the Conditions Plate. On leaving the stalls it was ONE WAY TICKET who elected to make the running whilst Frank Robinson’s charge raced close up in fifth. She made her move rounding the home turn and won well by a length and three quarters after striking the front 450m out. The runner up SABAHA (backed into favouritism) ran on well from the rear in this race.TITBITS

The 3yo SON OF SILVER won the maiden plate over 1400m going away by three and three quarters.

Smart TrebleFairview 30th November

They raced on the turf on Monday where victory in the faster of the two 1800m maiden events went to DREAMFOREST. Making his seventeenth racecourse appearance here, Grant Paddock’s charge, as per usual, raced in the rear during the early part of the race. He cut through the field quickly at the top of the straight, and won going away by five and a half after striking the front 300m from home.

All the rage to win the faster of the two 1200m events, a graduation plate, was CLIFTON SURF and the son of Antonius Pius didn’t let down his supporters.

Eventually sent off in the red (11/10 into 6/10), Alan Greeff’s charge was soon positioned close to the speed. He was ridden to lead as they approached the 100m pole and comfortably accounted for the running on PLAIN OF WISDOM by two and a quarter.

Another inmate of the Greeff stable (three winners on the card) to win well on the afternoon was the 3yo THAYER when registering his second win from just four starts in the MR62 Handicap over 1000m.

Always handy, the Bankable gelding took up the running 300m out and won well by a length and a quarter.TITBITS

DIVINE INVITATION and COUNT ZAFONIC both ran on well from the rear when 1st & 3rd respectively in the MR66 Handicap over 2400m.

NAP BETS* Fancied ** Strongly fancied

*** Very strongly fancied

Three of the eight races at Tuesday’s inside track meeting were run over 1200m and quickest home here was the highly regarded BUCKLAND in graduation company. Sent off a strong favourite at 14/10, Sean Tarry’s charge led throughout. He kept on strongly at the business end of the race and won well by a half from the always handy SEATTLE LADY.

The faster of the two 1700m maiden plates was the girl’s affair in which ESTIMATION scored a very easy victory. Always in the red, Gavin Van Zyl’s charge sat fourth for most of the journey. She only had to be pushed out in order to take up the running 350m out and with some in hand won extremely cosily by two and a half. The faster of the two 1400m events was the bill topping MR80 Handicap in which the veteran CELTIC KING registered his eighth career victory. Backed into favouritism during the afternoon (9/2 into 28/10), the 7yo was always handy. He was ridden to lead as they approached the 100m marker and

won well from the former Cape Town campaigner WITHOUT PERMISSION by a length and a quarter.TITBITS

After racing detached at the rear and then still a good nine lengths off the pace at the 400m marker, the 20/1 shot MAN’S INN ran on very well in the latter stages of the MR80 Handicap won by CELTIC KING, and was only beaten 1,3 lengths.

The fastest of the three 1400m races in Cape Town on Wednesday was the MR86 Handicap won by ZUBBADUBBADOO. Now a winner of five of his eight career starts to date, Brett Crawford’s charge raced in midfield for most of the journey. He quickened well when the early effort on the two run away leaders took its toll, and won comfortably from the running on ANNIGONI by a length and a half.

The talking horse CHEVACHEE (7/10 into 11/20) was all the rage to win the graduation plate over 1200m, but once again she found one better. Nicely positioned in second when the race began in earnest it looked as if Joey Ramsden’s charge could get the better of the front running

second favourite VICTORIA LAVELLE at any time. Justin Snaith’s charge found extra when the gauntlet was thrown down though, and went on to score going away by a length and a quarter.

The easiest victory on the nine race program was undoubtedly that of SILVAN STAR when opening her account in the maiden plate over 1200m. Freely available at 33/1 on the off (op 16’s), Glen Kotzen’s newcomer was always handy. She was ridden to lead shortly after passing the 300m marker and cruised clear in the closing stages of the race to score by six.TITBITS

CHARLIE STRONG ran out a comfortable winner of the MR71 Handicap over 2400m.

Thursday’s action took place on the inner track where victory in the fastest of the three 1450m races, a MR76 Handicap, went to MISS MAGICAL.

Returning from a 20 month layoff here, and drawn wide to boot, Michael Azzie’s charge was soon up handy. She was ridden to lead shortly after passing the 200m pole and won well by a length.

There was also three races staged over 1800m and quickest home amongst these was RUN

FOR REVELRY in the MR80 Handicap. Taken straight to the front by S’manga Khumalo, the Fort Beluga filly led throughout. She kept on strongly at the business end of the race and won comfortably from the running on KRYSTLE CARRINGTON by a length.

Race five on the card was a MR72 Handicap over 1600m and here we saw a smart performance from the top weight CAYMEN SUNSET.

Sent off a clear favourite at 16/10, Geoff Woodruff ’s charge, in a strung out field, raced fifth.

He quickened in good style coming off the strip and with some in hand won going away by two and a quarter.TITBITS

The 3yo INDZABA won the girl’s maiden plate over 1800m by a length with some in hand.

Fives & Threes


nterestingly, Silver Mountain was the second South African feature race winner in a week produced by a FuPeg mare – with Gr3 Racing Association Handicap

hero, Supertube (Where’s That Tiger) being the other. Another local feature race winner produced by a daughter of Fusaichi Pegasus is Mohave Princess (Mount Nelson), winner of the Listed Devon Air Stakes.

Winner of the 2000

herry on the top for Silvano was his daughter Silver Mountain’s brilliant, five length win in the G1 World Sports Betting Cape Fillies Guineas. In the process, the Highlands Stud bred filly became her sire’s 16th individual G1

winner –and Silvano’s second Cape Fillies Guineas winner, following Field Flower back in 2009.

A R1.3 million buy from the Cape Premier Yearling Sale, the Maine Chance Farms owned Silver Mountain has now won four of five outings and just a shade under R1 000 000 in prize money. Her future possible targets include the G1 Grand Parade Cape Guineas and the inaugural CTS $1 million race early next year.

Silvano had a pair of sophomore daughters make winning debuts over the past few days –the Ascot Stud bred Silvan Star making a stunning winning debut at Kenilworth just a few days earlier. Owned by Peter de Beyer, the three-year-old daughter of Silvano simply waltzed home over 1200m to win by six lengths. A three parts sister to the Silvano sired champion Bold Silvano, Silvan Star, who cost R200 000 at last year’s Emperors Palace National Yearling Sale, looks something special in the making.

Good GirlJust days after Silvan Star made such an eye

catching debut, yet another Silvano daughter

Kentucky Derby (and sold for a reported $70 million), Fusaichi Pegasus has more than 30 black type winners to his credit as a damsire. This tally not only includes the brilliant Silver Mountain, but also such international Gr1 winners as Wee Miss Artie (Breeders Futurity), Albany Reunion (Easter Handicap), Hakassan (Premio Dos Mil Guineas), and Estrela Monarchos (Grande Premio Roberto e Nelson Grimaldi Seabra).

Fusaichi Pegasus’ success,

however, can come as no surprise, as he did cover exceptional broodmares earlyon in his stud career, and many of the daughters produced from those matings were subsequently covered by top stallions.

A few other sires, either currently active or with runners still on the track, to make their mark as broodmare sires, are:

Unbridled’s SongFew, if any, broodmare

sires have enjoyed such a

sudden rise to prominence as the late, great Unbridled’s Song. The son of fellow broodmare sire success Un-bridled, Unbridled’s Song’s broodmare daughters have produced nearly 100 stakes winners, with the most recent tally being 98 black type winners. Only four other sires (all with more representatives) feature above Unbridled’s Song on the Leading Broodmare Sires by Stakes winners (according to The Blood Horse) in 2015, with his 23 black type winners this year including Gr1 winner Carpe Diem (Blue Grass Stakes), and ten other graded/group winners. Notable Gr1 winners produced by Unbridled’s Song mares include General Quarters (Blue Grass S), J B’s Thunder (Breeders’ Futurity), Once Were Wild (Australian Oaks) and Unbridled Command (Hollywood Derby).

Lemon Drop KidCurrently still active at

stud, Lemon Drop Kid is another stallion whose broodmare daughters have already made a considerable impact. The former US Champion features as the damsire of ten black type winners in 2015, including Gr2 Godolphin Mile winner, Tamarkuz (Speightstown). His Kentucky Oaks winning daughter, Lemons Forever, has had a singularly good year, with her daughters, Unbridled Forever and Forever Unbridled (both by Unbridled’s Song) winning the Gr1 Ballerina Stakes and Gr3 Comely Stakes.

Dubai DestinationWhile Dubai Destination

has been a disappointing sire overall, his daughters have enjoyed a break out year in 2015, with the son of Kingmambo featuring as the damsire of the winners of the Gr1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, Gr1 Investec Derby, Gr1 Prix de L’Arc De Triomphe, Gr1 Eclipse Stakes and Gr1 Juddmonte International. Gr3 Molecomb Stakes hero Kachy (Kyllachy) is another out of a daughter of Dubai Destination, who is damsire of 13 black type winners overall, and also responsible for ill-fated Gr2 May Hill Stakes winner, Ihtimal (Shamardal)

and the latter’s Gr3 Oh So Sharp winning half sister, First Victory (Teofilo).

Montjeu And GalileoWith due respect to the

wonderfully prolific pair of El Prado and High Chaparral, Sadler’s Wells’ two greatest sons were Montjeu (now deceased) and Galileo. Both were outstanding racehorses and sires, who received outstanding support, and both are more than making their mark as broodmare sires. Galileo’s daughters have already bred seven Gr1 winners (including this year’s Investec Oaks winner, Qualify, and now retired 2000 Guineas/Lockinge Stakes winner, Night Of Thunder), while Montjeu (whose fillies were somewhat dismissed during their sire’s time at stud) currently ranks as GB/Ireland’s fifth leading broodmare sire for 2015 by prize money. His daughters’ Gr1 winners include this year’s outstanding filly, Legatissimo (Danehill Dancer), whose 3 Gr1 wins this year included the Qipco 1000 Guineas. To date, Montjeu (whose oldest daughters are now 13) is the damsire of five Group/Grade One winners.

Elusive QualityThe former US Champion

Sire is a proven sire of high class fillies, with his representatives including the Breeders Cup winner, Maryfield, ill-fated European champion Elusive Kate and Australian Gr1 scorer, Camarilla. As he is a

well-supported horse with a magnificent pedigree, it comes as no surprise that Elusive Quality (Gone West) is fast becoming an outstanding broodmare sire.

His daughters’ 30 plus stakes winners include this season’s Gr1 Alciabiades Stakes heroine, Gomo (Uncle Mo), Gr1 Caulfield Guineas winner, Shooting To Win and his talented full brother, Deep Field (both by Northern Meteor), Gr1 Prix Morny hero, No Nay Never (Scat Daddy) and VRC 1000 Guineas winner, Guelph (Exceed And Excel).

Malibu MoonFew horses have better

pedigrees than does Malibu Moon –a son of US great A P Indy- and whose first two dams were Gr1 winners at two. Himself a top class sire, Malibu Moon (who won one of his only two starts) is now showing signs of becoming an equally efficient damsire. The sire, whose first crop were born in 2001, is broodmare sire of 17 black type winners to date, with his daughters having already produced the Gr1 winners Stellar Wind (Santa Anita Oaks), My Conquestadory (Alciabiades Stakes), and By The Moon (Frizette Stakes). What makes Malibu Moon’s initial success as a damsire so promising, is that he began his stud career at a fee of just $3,000, and currently covers a far better quality of mare with his most recent fee listed at $95,000.

Broodmare Sire Matters

IFusaichi Pegasus, broodmare sire of Saturday’s brilliant Gr1 World Sports Betting Cape Fillies Guineas winner, Silver Mountain (Silvano), is one of a number of stallions now making their presence felt as a broodmare sire.

Fusaichi Pegasus

made a winning debut at Turffontein. This time it was the Henham Stud bred Hollie Point who saluted first time out over 1160m for trainer Alec Laird. The filly sauntered home to win by more than three lengths- and looks another well above average filly to represent Silvano this season.

Silvano has an excellent record as a sire of high class fillies, with his daughters including the now Australian based G1 Woolavington Stakes winner Do You Remember, G1 Allan Robertson Fillies Championship winner Happy Valentine, German 1000 Guineas heroine Mi Emma and former G1 Sansui Summer Cup victress Flirtation.

Champion sire in South Africa in 2012-2013 and leading sire in Slovakia in 2007, Silvano has 25 lots on offer at next month’s Cape Premier Yearling. His exceptionally strong draft includes:– a half brother to millionaire Halve The Deficit

(Lot 37)– a full brother to G1 Vodacom Durban July

runner up Punta Arenas (Lot 51)– a brother to G1 SA Derby winner Seal (Lot 57)– a full sister to R2 000 000 earner Tellina

(Lot 105)– a half sister to G1 Premier’s Champion Stakes

winner and sire Potala Palace (138)– a colt out of G1 Vodacom Durban July winner

and champion Dancer’s Daughter (Lot187)www.capebreeders.co.za

16th Gr1 Winner On Board

CMaine Chance Farms’ resident sire Silvano enjoyed another magnificent weekend when he had no fewer than five individual winners in South Africa.
