The 6yo Toro Rosso is much better than his formline suggests

pinnacle stakes at Turffontein this Saturday

Pride And The Pinnacle

In an ideal world we would enjoy worldclass horseracing every weekend. The national programme doesn’t work like that though and we look to a good quality R130 000 Pinnacle Stakes on the Turffontein inside track on Saturday to provide the fireworks again.

he presence of the dual Argentinian Gr1 winner Hat Puntano adds plenty of interest to a competitive thirteen horse line-up over the tricky 1450m. Mike de Kock’s lightly tried Elusive Quality entire Toro Rosso is a course and distance winner and has plenty in his favour with Anthony Delpech up from a pole position draw over his favourite distance. He should be fighting fit after two prep runs and could add to his five win haul from his seventeen starts. Chilli Con Carne has drawn right alongside the De Kock runner and is another who could be dangerous at best. This pacy son of Just As Well may have found the 1160m on the short side last time and he will relish this test with a galloping weight.

Good Sort The 2016 Grand Heritage winner Irish Pride is a high quality son of

Ideal World and has his first start of the new term on Saturday. He had excuses at his last two starts in KZN and his earlier home form shows him to be a decent galloper at best. The inside track will test him but he has the multiple champion Mark Khan in the saddle and looks a big runner – even after a seven week break. Romany Prince has his first run in 11 weeks and is likely to need it – and a bit more ground to show his best. Donny G has drawn wide and has not been at his best for some time – his last win being over a year ago. Amazing Strike is yet another quality son of Ideal World. The Alec Laird 6yo must have a decent shout at his best.

Tyrone Zackey’s Front Rank will have to improve on his recent form but had his first outing in seven months when showing some pace and fading to 6 lengths behind the improved again Kilrain last time. Second of the Sean Tarry duo, the smart course-and-distance winning 5yo Count Tassilo has drawn widest of the lot but is bang in form and capable of making it a hat-trick of wins. His respiratory noises at his last three runs do not appear to have hindered him but are a cause for concern. Cashin is the third of the Ferraris trio. The son of Mogok has some ground to make up at the weights. At this stage of his career, Hidden Agenda is likely to be more comfortable over a bit further. Tandava led most of the way to win an MR84 Handicap at Turffontein on Tuesday. If he runs here, he rates a threat again. Hat Puntano comes in probably needing a good blowout – but read more about this interesting fellow alongside.

Consistent

Open

Shukamisa has drawn wide but the son of Silvano just doesn’t know how to run a poor race. This progressive 4yo is a dangerous sort if allowed to gallop freely and is a must for bigger permutations.

In an open race, we feel that Irish Pride could get there late to hold the likes of Count Tassilo and Toro Rosso – with Chilli Con Carne the danger.

The Cat in the Hat?

Robin Bruss is our profile personality of the week (see page 11) and he was the man who brokered the purchase of the Mike Azzie-trained Argentinian-bred Hat Puntano, who carries top weight in Saturday’s Turffontein top-liner. Imported to South Africa from Argentina in November 2016 and a one-time Vodacom Durban July entry, the dual Gr1 winner has only his fifth career start on Saturday. He is by Hat Trick out of the Bernstein mare, Stormy Pursuer. Racing in the interests of Las Monjitas, Hat Puntano was trained by Carlos D Etchechoury for his first two starts and then transferred to Juan J Etchechoury for the balance of his career in Argentina. Hat Puntano broke his maiden by 16 lengths on debut, beating a 13 horse field over 1400m on the San Isidro turf on 30 April 2016. His second start was in the Gr1 Gran Premio Gran Criterium, a race for 3yo colts and geldings over a mile, where he exhibited an impressive turn of foot to come from last to win by 2 lengths in a time of 1 min 34.66. After changing stables to Juan Etchechoury, he ran in the Gr1 Gran Premio Estrellas, a mile contest on dirt at Palermo on 25 June 2016. He didn’t appear to act on the surface, and finished 6th. His final start in Argentina was on 30 July 2016, in the G1 Gran Premio Clasico Dos Mil Guineas (Argentine 2000 Guineas) on turf in which he disposed of the 8 horse field to romp home by 5 lengths. It was an impressive performance and good enough to prompt his purchase as a possible 2017 Triple Crown candidate. Robin Bruss told the Sporting Post that Hat Puntano’s style of racing is very exciting. “His sire, Hat Trick, is a champion miler by the legendary Sunday Silence and a horse I happen to know very well. Hat Trick is a dual Gr1 winner and broke the track record for a mile when he won the 2005 Gr1 Kyoto Mile Championship of Japan in a time of 1:32.10. The record still stands.” He races off a rating of 113. A National Horseracing Authority official confirmed to the Sporting Post that Hat Puntano raced off a similar rating in his home country and this rating was thus adopted here.

Cape Trainer Opens At Summerveld

Brett Crawford – expands

Gold Circle have allocated Crawford 30 boxes from 1 October. Brett will be partnered by Peter Muscutt, who will take responsibility for the Durban operation. www.crawfordracing.net reports that Muscutt was a vital part of the team that

Jockeys In The Wars

secured four Gr1 wins and many other significant races over the last few months. Muscutt has decided against returning to Australia and Singapore. Opening at Summerveld gives Crawford Racing more options for optimising the career paths of horses. Some thoroughbreds benefit from the sub-tropical climate, whilst the Greyville Polytrack surface suits horses with a particular stride pattern and running style. KZN racing is strongest during Winter when major stables move their strings in for the big races, but at other times of the year the standard drops, making it an attractive venue for lesser lights who become more competitive when facing relatively weaker rivals. Trainer Shane Humby recently relocated from Milnerton to Ashburton.

Big Week For Heritage Hopefuls

GOLD CIRCLE

Trainer Johan Janse van Vuuren made a major impact when winning the inaugural running of the R750 000 Grand Heritage just under a year ago with Irish Pride. On the afternoon he saddled four winners, with his winning rider Gavin Lerena bagging five firsts.

Lyle Hewitson - Sherman Brown - Gunter Wrogemann

Hardly a week passes when we are not reminded of the dangers lurking at every corner of race-riding. While there was nothing life threatening about their respective injuries, Gunter Wrogemann, Lyle Hewitson and Sherman Brown will be keen to get back to the grindstone after being in the wars last week. After winning the first at Turffontein last Thursday, Wrogemann was injured while riding Goede Hoop in the second race. His mount threw her head back as the gates were released, hitting him in the face and cutting his nose. He lost his right stirrup iron in the incident, then the left at the 700m marker so could not ride Robbie Sage’s charge out to the finish. The cut needed stitches and he was stood down from the rest of the race meeting. But Wrogemann bounced back with an armchair victory on the promising Zen Arcade at Scottsville on Sunday.

Bad Luck South African champion apprentice Lyle Hewitson was unseated from his mount Cover Page in the starting stalls at Fairview on Friday. Yvette Bremner, trainer of Cover Page who was subsequently withdrawn, told the Sporting Post that Lyle had received a Voltaren injection for the pain and the only visible injury had been a cut lip. Fairview has been a happy hunting ground in terms of winners for the talented young rider, but he has not always enjoyed the best of luck there in terms of spills. On 28 April the Avontuur-sponsored jockey was fortunate to escape serious injury when Samish Bay stumbled and fell at the track. On 13 May he suffered a broken collar bone and mild concussion following a fall from Gitano Giant at the same course, but was back in the saddle in late June, in a miraculously speedy return to riding. He returned to riding this week.

Unlikely Recent China winning jockey Sherman Brown was hoping to be back in the saddle as early as this week, although with an injury to his right shoulder rotator cuff, those hopes seem unlikely to materialise. Brown injured his shoulder at Scottsville a week ago when riding first-timer Royal Applause in Race 5. “The horse pulled his head down and I thought it was a sprain or a strain. So I took a Voltaren shot, which release it a bit, and rode Willowgrange in the last race that day. After that I had major pain,” he admitted. He told Tabnews late last week: “I just don’t have any range of movement in my right arm now,” he said. “Can’t even lift it to my waist. I went for a Sonar on Thursday, which showed no tears and I’ll be having an MRI on Monday. “But I’m hoping I’m ‘miraculously healed’,” he quipped, admitting he would still have the MRI.

Van Vuuren’s name does not appear next to any one of the 70 entries listed for the 2017 renewal of South Africa’s most populated race, which will be run at the Vaal on 30 September – but there is still time. Supplementary entries close at 11h00 on Monday, 18 September with the final weights being published on Tuesday, 19 September. Declarations are due by 11h00 Wednesday, 20 September. In order to be considered for inclusion in the final field, every horse nominated must have had at least a minimum of one run from time of first Entry up to and including the time of Final Supplementary Entry. So we are bound to see a few entrants having a run this week. The bright idea of creating a 1475m straight-course charge for a massive field of 28 mid-handicappers, across a wide range of weights – offering all owners and trainers a tilt at a decent stake (R750 000) and attracting big betting pools and handsome payouts – proved quite an innovation in an environment where betting turnovers are under serious pressure. Stakes are paid all the way down to fifteenth position. While 27 ran in 2016, a field of 28 runners (with two reserves) is likely to face the starter at the end of this month. Most of the local trainers have nominated runners including Champion Trainer Sean Tarry, Mike de Kock Mike and Adam Azzie, Geoff Woodruff and Paul Peter, but trainers from other centres have also entered runners. Duncan Howells, who is the new Champion Trainer in KwaZulu-Natal, has entered Secret Captain and Gingerbread Man, while Paarl-based Glen Kotzen has nominated Fellow Traveller. Port Elizabeth-based Dorrie Sham has entered Classify, who ran an excellent trial in the Gr3 Spring Spree Stakes last week in his first start in Gauteng. He will be well acclimatized come 30 September. The entrants range from the MR 108 Spring Spree Stakes winner, Will Pays down to Paul Peter’s MR 53 Jim Cables. Base Weights are determined by the Handicapper prior to consideration of additional weights for Graded and Listed races. Additional Penalties accrue for highest Graded/Listed win in the last 18 months prior to date of First Entry. No Sex allowance or Apprentice allowance is claimed. The determination of final field is at the sole discretion of the Operator, with the selection coming from three tiers of entrants.

Craig Zackey (outside) gets the best out of Sylvan On Fire

JC PHOTOS

After a season best finish at third on the National Trainers Log last term and an excellent KZN Champions Season, Phillipi trainer Brett Crawford follows in the footsteps of colleagues Dean Kannemeyer and Candice Bass-Robinson in opening a permanent satellite yard at Summerveld.

Zackey On Fire Former SA Champion apprentice Craig Zackey led the national championship log as the season passed the 40 day mark this past weekend. He demonstrated his talent and competitive streak with a cracking ride on Candice Dawson’s Sylvan On Fire in the Turffontein top-liner on Saturday.

imon and Debbie Zackey can be justly proud of their 22 year old son who got the better of his senior colleague Gavin Lerena in a thrilling finish to the R130.000 Pinnacle Stakes. Despite the blow, Lerena still walked off with two wins and the afternoon’s riding honours. With the Sporting Post weekend cover star Myfunnyvalentine unseating Piere Strydom in the preliminaries and subsequently being withdrawn by the Vet, the field for the 1450m contest was cut to just four runners. A fascinating tactical duel developed with Gavin Lerena dictating matters up front on the Azzie’s 16 to 10 favourite Shatoosh, who led Sylvan On Fire, Lady Starlett and Smokey Affair. Lerena increased his lead into the run for home with the Trippi mare looking relaxed and racing well within herself. At the 400m marker Marco Van Rensburg got to work on Lady Starlett, who was switched out and started kicking on well. But her effort was shortlived and it was left to Sylvan On Fire and Shatoosh to do battle. The result was in the balance all the way to the wire but in a grandstand finish, the photo showed that Sylvan On Fire had gotten the verdict by the shortest of short heads in a time of 90.45 secs. Lady Starlett was well beaten a further 3,60 lengths back in third, while former Cape based Smokey Affair failed to provide the De Kock-Team Valor reunion celebrations as she finished last of the quartet. While the stable had indicated that she could go close, her 26 week break meant that ring rustiness may have gotten the better of her. The winner was prepped to the minute by Candice Dawson and was enjoying a hat-trick of victories. She has run 5 times for 3 wins and 2 places, with stakes of R231 625. Bred by Vanessa Harrison, who also races the daughter of Silvano (Lomitas), the winner is out of the four-time winning Jet Flyer (Jet Master). Sean Tarry’s Myfunnyvalentine may find herself facing a suspension after the same antics saw her being scratched from the For The Ladies Stakes a fortnight ago. A pity, as she is very talented.

Robin Bruss

As the breeding season hits full throttle, it’s a good time to review last season’s results and there are some interesting lessons in analysing the stats. It is particularly illuminating to look at AEPR’s to see where real value might be lurking. Our figures (based on breeders with 10 or more runners) reflect that Robin Bruss’s Northfields Stud finished top of last season’s breeders log.

About Robin Robin was born into a racing family and been involved with horse racing and breeding all his life as an owner, breeder, agent, auctioneer, journalist, television presenter, researcher, administrator and consultant. It is a dizzying list of accomplishments and Robin had acquitted himself admirably at all of them. Moreover, he boasts a set of racing colours that is the longest running in the country after the Oppenheimers. Off a relatively disciplined base of 6 mares, Robin has achieved 6 Gr1 winners to date - Circle Of Life, African Lion, August Rush, Zebra Crossing, Basic Instinct and most recently, Champion’s Cup winner, Deo Juvente. As only 0,1% of horses win at Gr1 level, its a significant achievement. How has he done it? “I’ve been in racing and breeding my whole life – and developed my philosophies through study, observation and experience. My father Les registered his silks 1943 as an owner/trainer, and was a founding member of Borrowdale racecourse in 1957. My brother Neil became a trainer and I invented myself as a bloodstock agent starting out in Zimbabwe.” Robin’s working knowledge of the Thoroughbred racing and breeding industry is encyclopaedic. He was secretary for the Zim TBA for 8 years and worked as an auctioneer in partnership with Peter Lovemore. “We compiled the National Yearling Sales catalogue for South Africa. For four years we manually created pedigrees and race records for every single horse – this taught me the development of families. Ultimately we were replaced by computers which came as a big shock. We used to get paid R5 per pedigree.” In 1982 Robin made the move to South Africa joining the Form Organisation as a partner and was a co-producer of the first Form Stallion Register compiling all the female lines by hand. In 1983 he moved to Johannesburg and went out on his own to operate as a consultant to Edgars Stores founder, Sydney Press.

Mentor Sydney entrusted the young Bruss with his start up Coromandel Stud in Lydenburg, E Transvaal. They bought the first ever R100,000 yearling when acquiring Gallantry (Plum Bold-Sun Lass) at the National Yearling Sales, who was to win 9 races including the Gr2 Merchants and later become a stallion. But the operation hit the headlines in 1983, when they

acquired the filly Tecla Bluff (Arg), who was never beaten in the Press silks, winning the Gr2 Republic Day Handicap, the Gr1 Rothmans July and the Gr1 Clairwood Winter Handicap in 1983 and become Horse of the Year. When she retired, Press decided there wasn’t a stallion in South Africa good enough for his filly, so Robin went looking for a stallion in Ireland and bought Northfields (USA) – already famous as the sire of 8 Gr.1 Winners in Europe. “Although already 15 years old, Coolmore allowed us to buy him for USD$2,5million, an unprecedented figure back then,” Robin reminisces. “We then acquired 50 mares and I was able to start building the families I wanted. We bred the Gr1 Cape Guineas Face North in the first crop, but then Sydney became mired in a messy divorce and within 3 years the farm was dispersed.” However, Northfields made an impact on the stud book of South Africa, becoming a Champion Sire of broodmares, both in South Africa and in Great Britain. His influence through his daughters is marked, numbering 64 individual Gr1 Winners to date – the latest and probably last being the 6 year old Sail South, who won Greyville’s Gr1 Champions Cup in July.

Northfields Stud Robin acquired as many Northfields mares as he could, setting up Northfields Stud and this foundation has served him well. “Sydney gave me a parting gift which represented the best of the Coromandel Farm breeding, the only daughter of Northfields and the great mare Tecla Bluff. Named Teclafields, it was disconcerting when she only won one race on the track, but she become the dam of three Gr1 winners for me – Circle of Life, who won the Garden Province Stakes and finished 3rd in the July; African Lion, who won the Champions Cup; and Zebra Crossing, who won the J&B Met.” Circle of Life is now the dam of 2017 Gr1 Champions Cup winner Deo Juvente (Trippi) which Robin bred at Drakenstein Farm on a foal share, selling the R3.8m earner for R500,000 as a yearling.

Log Leader Thanks largely to the efforts of Premier’s Champions Challenge hero, Deo Juvente, Northfields Stud topped the national breeders’ log by AEPR with a final total of R316,516 last season. But he was not the only good horse bred from the select band of 6 mares,

many of which are often mated to unfashionable stallions. Strongman (aka Horse of Fortune in Hong Kong) (Stronghold-Sweet Virginia), sold for R150,000 and has won 6 races in Hong Kong at Class 1 and Group level, taking his earnings over R15 million this year. Will Pays (Imperial Stride – Rattlebag) was sold for R60,000 as a yearling and in achieving his 9th win in Turffontein’s Gr3 Spring Spree Stakes on 2 September, took his earnings over the R800,000 mark. Then there are the two unbeaten youngsters, now 3 year olds - Billy Silver (Silvano – Evening Attire), who won in a canter at Scottsville on 3 September and Do It Again (Twice Over – Sweet Virginia), who landed his second win on the trot at Kenilworth on 9 September. Both look destined for Graded races.

Breeding For The Winning Post Robin has a distinct view on breeding relying on what he calls probability theory. “When you’ve only got 6 mares, you’ve got to have a very tight focus. Bear in mind that the odds are stacked against you if your purpose and focus is to breed a champion. As only 3% of all races are Graded Black Type races, you have a 97% chance of not achieving this goal. Therefore, the pressure is on to focus every means to reduce the odds of failure.” But Robin loves nothing if not a challenge. “Selection is based on performance as the breed progresses on the base of racing class. Independent studies of 50 years of results in USA and Europe came to similar conclusions. Donald Lesh in Europe found that you increase your probability of success by 800% if you breed with graded stakes winning mares. Joe Estes found that this held true in America, but stated it was closer to 1,400% greater probability. Therefore ideally, I would like to own 6 graded stakes winning mares, but one must cut ones cloth on budget, and I have found success by keeping as close to racing ability as possible, even if not particularly fashionable. However, on this basis, the rewards come at the winning post and not in the sales ring. I might yet graduate to owner-breeder status and stop selling yearlings altogether.”

The Importance of Family “The second most important characteristic is to build long term families. Look at all the really great farms – all have

great families they have built from generation to generation – the key is the quality of the mares. I’ve only managed to build 3 families – of which one has died out. My first mare was Mendere which I bought when I was 17 for 1800 Guineas, then R3,600 on a loan from my Dad. I had her mated on a free service to Lombard (also the broodmare sire of Urban Sea) and she produced Chrysanthemum, who was my first runner. She was very slow – the only real fault that a racehorse can have! But I sent her to speedster Divine King and she produced Hachiman who became Champion of Zimbabwe and won 21 races of which 14 were stakes races. The quality emerged in the next generation. I sold a stakes winning daughter to Tony Taberer which would produce Minelli, who then produced champion sprinter Val de Ra, now the modern strain of this pedigree. Her daughter, Miss Frankel is inbred to Lombard via Frankel,” he notes. “Meanwhile, the daughter I kept died without producing any winners. This game can be cruel!” “To me the keys are racing class, understanding the characteristics and traits of names in pedigrees and then physical compatibility in matchmaking. This is also why Black Type is extremely important in the art of selection and critically important to breeders. For this reason the Graded Races panel has a considerable responsibility and I am disappointed with the recent downgradings of important races, particularly the stamina events. When racetrack executives

tamper with race gradings they tamper with the breed.”

Industry contributions As an agent, Robin has travelled the world and bought and sold horses in all 5 continents, achieving the distinction of selling the great American champion Animal Kingdom from Barry Irwins’s Team Valor to Australia’s Arrowfield Stud and then going to Dubai to watch him win the $10m Dubai World Cup 2013. He introduced Barry Irwin and Andreas Jacobs to South African racing as well as a plethora of stallions that have had long term significant impacts for the breed. As an industry player, Robin served as a director of the NHA for 9 years, was a member of the TBA council for 6 years, is a Trustee of the AHS Trust, was one of the founding members and first CEO of Cape Thoroughbred Sales and currently is on the SA Export Task Team. He operated Delta Bloodstock which pioneered owner syndicates, operated a large bloodstock insurance business, and he chaired the SA Racehorse Owners Association. He has also spoken at numerous industry conferences overseas and in the South African parliament. “In recent times, I have cut back on my involvement in racing and enjoyed myself in new challenges in other industries, within agriculture, mining and charitable development, all on the simple philosophy of doing good. I love the game, but I race infrequently in Johannesburg these days because of my disappointment with the manner in which our industry is operated and organised. Our controlling bodies have overseen a disintegration of the ethos of the sport in favour of bias of betting and this has caused a decline across the spectrum of the game. It does not portend well for the future unless there is change.” “The sport must come first because every player, and every fan and every person who derives a living in the game has a stake in it not only those within the betting business. When you realise that the number of breeders has declined from 1,400 to 180 over the past 20 years, you realise the extent of the problem. But that’s a subject for another day,” he says firmly.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 15th - SUNDAY 17th SEPTEMBER 2017

Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges, CEO of the record-setting and worldrenowned Hong Kong Jockey Club, has given South African racing a valuable mention in his 2017 report, published recently.

he Club will be lending its high-profile support to the South African bloodstock market and will be helping with the resolution of bloodstock export protocols. Engelbrecht-Bresges wrote: “To sustain the success of the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s integrated model, and its commitment to the betterment of society, the Club must continue investing in its world-class racing product. This means we need to keep increasing prize money, both to incentivise horse owners and to maintain the attractiveness of our international races for overseas horses. To provide owners with more choice, the Club is currently supporting efforts to open up the South African market for direct export to major jurisdictions.” In the 2016/17 season, the HKJC put up another record performance, with total turnover reaching a new high of HK$218.2 billion. Racing achieved a record turnover of HK$117.4 billion, up 10.7% for the full season, generating gross margin, commingling and simulcast royalty income of HK$18.3 billion, up 8.5%. Total net margin retained by the Club, plus commingling and simulcast royalty income, was up 9.3% to HK$5.2 billion. Engelbrecht-Bresges commented: “These results reflect the success of the Club’s integrated business model and of the core values that underpin it. They are also the result of a long-term strategy, which started twenty years ago, to position Hong Kong as a centre of world-class racing. Essential to this strategy has been a significant increase in prize money, which has incentivised owners to invest in quality horses and attracted top horses from overseas to compete in Hong Kong’s international races. In the same way, and also through the improving quality of racing, the Club has recruited and developed top trainers, jockeys and racing professionals.”

William H ill St L eger Festiv al

Four Days Of Racing Pleasure

With a colourful history dating back to 1776, the oldest Classic of the British season, the £700,000 Gr1 William Hill St Leger Stakes will be run at Doncaster on Saturday over a trip of one mile, six furlongs and 132 yards.

he race is the climax of the four day William Hill St Leger Festival , which kicks off on Wednesday. Retired celebrities brush the dust off their saddles and breeches and return to action in the feature event on Wednesday, competing in the charity race, a contest run on the straight mile. The Leger Legends race helps raise money for the Northern Racing College and Jack Berry House, a rehabilitation facility for injured jockeys. Thursday is Ladies Day, while Friday is now known as Gentlemen’s Day, with the Doncaster Cup, the oldest race currently run under the Rules of Horse Racing, taking centre-stage. Saturday is the biggest day of the week and home to the World’s oldest Classic, the St Leger Stakes. The Irish Derby winner Capri is one of 12 William Hill St Leger entries for trainer Aidan O’Brien, who is on the cusp of a fifth victory in the race. The classy grey son of Galileo stays well and looks likely to start favourite. The O’Brien-trained Camelot came close

in 2012 to Triple Crown glory after winning the 2,000 Guineas and Epsom Derby, before going down under a length to Godolphin’s Encke. The Triple Crown is an arduous test of brilliance and was last won by Nijinsky in 1970, while the great Aidan O'Brien mare Oh So Sharp won the female version – the 1000 Guineas, the Oaks and the St Leger, in 1985. As in most major races, the power players dominate the St Leger - Godolphin-owned entries have won it six times and John Gosdentrained horses have lifted the trophy three times in the last ten years – but the romance of the occasion was underlined last year. The 2016 renewal provided a dramatic and fairytale success for 22 to 1 outsider Harbour Law, whose trainer Laura Mongan became the first woman to win the St Leger. The favourite Idaho fell halfway through the race. Mongan had only 20 horses in her string and her home base Epsom had not provided the St Leger winner for over a century. Amazingly, Harbour Law was Mongan’s first Gr1 runner and Baker’s first ride in the St Leger. Favourites have won the St Leger six times in the last fifteen years.

Baron Opens With UK Gr2 No Retreat By The 2017 Sun Met winner Whisky Baron is set to make his European debut in the Gr2 Shadwell Joel Stakes at Newmarket’s Rowley Mile Racecourse on Friday 29th September. This £100,000 one mile contest has attracted an initial entry of 34 horses, featuring no less than 19 Pattern Race winners. Irish Champion Trainer Aidan O’Brien is responsible for over a third of the entry, his dozen-strong contingent including last year’s winner, Cougar Mountain, and the dual Classic runner-up, Rhododendron, while further international flavour is added by Whisky Baron and the French raider, Dicton, placed in the 2016 renewals of both the French Derby and 2000 Guineas. The home team features a number of in-form emerging stars, most notably the recent Group 3 Sovereign Stakes hero, Ballet Concerto; last month’s Strensall Stakes winner, Mustashry; and Zonderland, touched off by a nose in the Group 2 Celebration Mile ten days ago on his return from a long absence. The entry also includes a

handful of battle-hardened performers already proven at this Group 2 level such as the popular veteran, Sovereign Debt, and Dutch Connection, who got back to winning ways in last month’s Group 3 Supreme Stakes. Trained by Brett Crawford, Whisky Baron has not run since landing one of South Africa’s top all-aged races, the Group 1 Sun Met [formerly known as the J&B Met] at Kenilworth in Cape Town in January. He was forced to spend three months in quarantine in Mauritius in order to be allowed to leave South Africa but has been stabled in Newmarket since June. Brett Crawford, trainer of Whisky Baron, said: “Whisky Baron is doing exceptionally well and, although he has the option of waiting for the Challenge Stakes [another Group 2 event run at Newmarket’s Rowley Mile Racecourse on 13th October], the way he

is going at the moment I am confident that he will make the Shadwell Joel Stakes as long as the ground is not too soft.” “He spent three months in Mauritius, which is a nice holding facility but only has a very tight round track so all you can do there is canter. He was let down completely and we have had to start again from scratch.” “After a lot of build-up work, we have upped his work and put him under pressure over the last three weeks and he has responded really well.” “He was such a big, bulky horse that it was inevitable that we would have to have him gelded, but since he’s had that done he has been unbeaten in five starts – it’s helped tremendously.” “Everything is on track and he has already given us the journey of a lifetime but fitness will obviously be an issue for him and he has also never raced up a hill before.” “He’s a very versatile horse, his biggest asset it that he has a fantastic turn of foot, and though his first big overseas target is the Hong Kong International Races in December, I’m not sure if he will go for the mile race there or step up to a mile and a quarter.”

SA Sponsors

The former KZN-based Argonaut gelding Beat The Retreat registered his second consecutive stakes success in Mauritius when he won the Gr1 South African Airways Cargo Princess Margaret Cup on South Africa day at the Champ de Mars. The one-time Alistair Gordon charge also took the Sprinters’ Championship for the in-form Patrick Merven stable. With Imran Chisty on board once again, Beat The Retreat ran one-off at the back of the pack, before producing a powerful burst of acceleration when it mattered most. In second position was Prince Of Thieves (Donovan Dillon), while One Cool Dude (Brad Pengelly) did enough to get third ahead of former Bass-Robinson galloper, Ernie (Cedric Segeon) As they do on an annual basis, the South African horseracing industry threw financial support behind the Mauritius Turf Club and sponsored the first 7 of 8 races on the Champ de Mars programme. Mauritius is a major market for second hand South African horses. There was no evidence of any tension after three South African jockeys were recently subjected to a torrid time on the island, following charges that were subsequently overturned on appeal. The third of the jockeys, Muzi Yeni, was never charged. The MTC hosted the following South African representatives this weekend: Gold Circle: Graeme Hawkins, Bill Lambert, Neil Butcher and Miss Tasnim Govender. Cape Thoroughbred Sales: Adrian Todd. Klawervlei Stud: Grant Knowles and Gerhard Fourie. SAA Cargo: Ntuthuko Koza and Ronel Rossouw. Racing Association: Larry Wainstein

Smart Call

Smart Call Unplaced

2016 J&B Met winner Smart Call failed to deliver the goods when contesting the Gr2 Moyglare ‘Jewels’ Blandford Stakes on Day 2 of the 2017 Longines Irish Champions Weekend at the Curragh on Sunday. While the daughter of Ideal World has managed decent placed efforts – including catching the eye with a third in the Gr2 Betfred Middleton Stakes during the Dante festival at York and a fair fourth behind Qemah in the Gr2 Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Ascot – she is yet to win outside of South Africa. Smart Call made her Irish debut in the Gr1 Pretty Polly Stakes on 2 July, running just off the pace before being unable to find any extra over the final furlong to finish mid-field. She crossed the Channel to France on 20 August to line up for the Gr1 Darley Prix Jean Romanet at Deauville. She suffered a heavy bump at the top of the straight, but regrouped gamely to finish 1 1/2 lengths 4th behind Ajman Princess. That prep suggested she would have a decent chance in the Blandford. With Donnacha O’Brien in the saddle on Sunday, Jessica Slack’s smart mare raced wide on the turn as Shamreen made all and was right there until about 200m out when she started fading and she eventually finished unplaced and six lengths behind the winner. She is now trained by Sir Michael Stoute and it was her fifth start overseas

SHORT HEADS

IVAN THE GREAT Yellow Star Stud-based trainer Ivan Wyk celebrated his ﬁrst winner as a fully-ﬂedged trainer at Scottsville on Sunday when the Ashley De Klerk owned Bezrin gelding Putchini scored his sixth win from 58 starts. Billy Jacobson rode a strong race to get the game 6yo home. Ivan took his licence out in May 2017. The 320ha Yellow Star Stud is situated approximately 12 km outside the village of Mooi River and boasts quality grass and sand training tracks.

Goose Is Flying

Louis Goosen’s Ideal World gelding Zen Arcade followed up on his BSA August Million debut runnerup spot last month with a smooth win for owner Mario Ferreira at Scottsville on Sunday to shed his maiden at his second outing. The R550k National 2yo Sale buy took his earnings to R253 125 and he looks very progressive.

VIP It is wonderful news that direct exports from South Africa to the European Union could well be back on track as early as December next year. According to the Tabnews website, that was the word from a recent workshop attended by the ‘most important decision-makers in the South African horseracing industry’. Be interesting to hear who invited who…

Diamond Diggers Trainer Stef Miller has made an interesting move employing PE jockeys Wayne Agrella, Donald Bogaleboile, Eldin Webber and Nic Patel as workriders at her Kimberley yard. That’s a real luxury in the Northern Cape and her yard can be watched closely.

MAGIC

2300 Justin Snaith is a motivated man this season and he notched a hat-trick of winners at Kenilworth on Saturday, which included his 2300th career winner. Grant van Niekerk got the Highlands bred Sassy Lady out of trouble to win the seventh race. But Snaith’s most impressive scorer on the afternoon has to be the Twice Over gelding Do It Again, who lived up to his name to win the last.

Point Of Order Runaway Irish St Leger winner Order of St George has shortened dramatically for the Melbourne Cup but a decision on whether the Irish stayer travels to Australia won’t be made until next Monday. Trainer Aidan O’Brien told reporters after the impressive win, which was Order of St George’s second success in the race, that a decision would be made whether to target the Prix de l’arc de Triomphe or the Melbourne Cup. Order Of St George was third in the Arc last year.

Way Less

South African jockeys have to try training or even Tellytrack presenting when the weight bogey threatens. But in the UK, the jumps are a great alternative to the ﬂat code. Former dual Irish champion apprentice Connor King is hoping to establish himself as a jumps jockey in Britain this winter after joining Brian Ellison’s yard in North Yorkshire. The 21 year old King is six foot tall. He partnered 125 winners on the Flat in Ireland. He has signed up with agent Richard Hales.

The 27 year old ‘Mauritian Magician’ Karis Teetan has come a long way since his island pony club days where he was one of only two candidates selected from 102 hopefuls for training at the SA Jockey Academy. Karis rode his first winner on Step With Style for trainer Paul Lafferty at Scottsville in 2005 and has made a terrific start to the new Hong Kong season, where he is in second position behind Joao Moreira.

Up The Alley Wilgerbosdrift stallion Flower Alley sired a smart looking 2yo winner in North America on Monday. His daughter Flowers Vale won ﬁrst time out at Mountaineer Casino Racetrack & Resort when scoring by an impressive seven and a half lengths over 900m. Flowers Vale is out of the Unbridled’s Song mare Cottage Vale and is from the immediate family of Klawervlei sire Coup De Grace. Flower Alley will also be strongly represented in Saturday’s Gr3 Calumet Farm Kentucky Turf Cup Stakes, where his oﬀspring Bullards Alley and Crescent Drive are both contenders.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 15th - SUNDAY 17th SEPTEMBER 2017

ost normal people consider weekends as time off to rest, relax and maybe have a lie in (or recover from a hangover, for our younger readers – if there are any!). While I like my duvet as much as the next person, if there’s a promise of seeing some good horses, I will cheerfully get up as early as you like (OK, relatively cheerfully). So Saturday morning saw me hitting the road before sunrise to get to Rosmead Avenue on time for some very special grass gallops. Glen Kotzen was sending some of his string to stretch their legs at Kenilworth, including last season’s promising Gold Standard, last seen out in the Sun Met where he finished 2 ½ lengths behind Whisky Baron. Having grabbed a pair of trainers on my way out of the house, I had plenty of opportunity to rue my choice as I tracked across the wet Kenilworth turf and the dew soaked straight through to my toes. I squelched my way to the little knot of people gathered alongside the winning post and watched the first pair of Hundreds and League Game put through their paces.

Gold Standard Next out was the star attraction for the morning, Chrigor Stud’s 2016 Selangor Cup winner Gold Standard ridden by Richard Fourie, who galloped from the 1400m mark alongside the speedy two time winner, Quickfire with Lucian Africa in the saddle. By champion sire Trippi out of Olympic Dam (Model Man), Gold Standard racked up 3 wins, 3 places and over R600,000 in earnings from his first 6 starts, prompting Drakenstein Stud to buy into him just before his tilt at the Met. A small set-back saw the colt benched for the rest of the season, but with him fully recovered and back in work – as well as the Cape season just around the corner - the stable decided to use the opportunity of giving him a grass gallop to invite the press to come and take a look. While I am terrifically fond of my two little geldings at home, I have to say there is just something special about an entire. They always seem to have a little extra gloss to their coats and be possessed of a bit more fire and life than their gelded counterparts. Gold Standard has been left entire and is glowing with good health and energy. He has grown and filled out and looks an absolute picture. The colt gave his companion a few lengths start, easily collaring him up the straight and the two put up some good work – being lightly pressed, but not going

I don’t know whether it’s age or whether I just have an overdeveloped sense of cynicism (maybe both?), but I ﬁnd I’m rarely impressed these days. So imagine my surprise to be invited to public gallops of one of our Cape feature season hopefuls last Saturday. flat to the boards. Richard Fourie, who is the retained rider for Chrigor Stud and always wonderfully approachable and forthcoming, was charasterically direct. “He’s a big horse and people have been asking about him, so it’s good for people to know how he is doing.” He reported that Gold Standard had done the work ‘like a gentleman,’ adding, “The break has made the world of difference. He’s had a very nice winter and didn’t have to run on the KZN tracks. His work is very positive and everything is on track, so it’s all systems go.”

Snapshot Of course, a gallop is not a guarantee of anything and is merely a snapshot in time, albeit a snapshot showing a wonderfully happy, healthy and above all, sound prospect for the season, but the stable confirmed that Gold Standard’s immediate goal will be the Matchem Stakes. While they are hoping for a Cape summer season feature campaign, and all being well, intend following the traditional Green Point Stakes, Queen’s Plate, Met route, they cautioned that it will be a question of taking things a day at a time. Which is all one can ask for, really. Lastly, there was a little extra treat with the last pair for the morning consisting of the very well-bred Sommersonne and Princess Vicky, a daughter of Princess Victoria by Silvano. Both unraced and still finding their feet on the grass, it was nevertheless fun to get to see two such quality fillies up close and personal. Princess Vicky is a small, compact, but racy looking individual, while the chestnut Sommersonne, a halfsister

to Dennis Drier charge Sommerlied, is a taller, rangier prospect. They sprinted up the straight and it was difficult to separate the two, which is nice as I now have a host of extra horses to look out for this season. Again there was a chance to see them in the parade ring afterwards, chat to the riders and just generally digest the outing. Colour me all shades of impressed. It was a progressive, forward thinking and refreshing gesture from Woodhill Racing, particularly when some yards are still refusing firsttimer comments. Considering the yard had volunteered the opportunity rather than being pressed for it, had offered more than what was billed and were so open and transparent and happy to chat about their charges made it all the better and it got me thinking.

How The System Works Racing exists thanks to owners who buy horses and punters who put up their betting rand to provide the turnover which funds stakes, pays salaries and finances the upkeep of our tracks and training centres. We know the economy is under pressure and that for Joe Bloggs (the man we count on to give us their hard-earned cash), leisure rands are scarce. Therefore customers are becoming far more discerning and have to be persuaded harder than ever to part with their money. The old adage goes that goods are not sold, they are bought, so it is more important than ever for us to maintain good, transparent relationships with our remaining customers if we want them to repay us with their cold, hard cash.

They say to know us is to love us. It is the most basic principle of marketing. Well, it is the most basic principle of life. But how does anyone get to know us when we are still (largely) such a closed shop? Unfortunately this seems to be something our local industry is still grappling to come to terms with.

Why so secretive?

There also seems an inexplicable reluctance in some quarters to share what is apparently deemed ‘stable secrets’. Consider this – you would not go to the supermarket and be happy to buy unmarked cans of food which could jolly well turn out to be anything. Why then do we expect our punters to do business on that basis? I’m not asking for KFC’s Poor communication Half the industry seems paralysed secret herbs and spices recipe, but it with the suspension of Formgrids. We is possible to say things such as the still have no idea what – if anything horse is working well, is recovering – is happening with sectional timing from a minor set-back (extra points (other than the NHA amending the for naming said set-back), has had wording of their rules regarding its vaccs, has an equipment change, electronic devices which makes the jockey change, etc. These are statements of fact, which implementation seem imminent) and while I don’t mean to harp on can do no harm and can only aid in about it (OK, it’s my column, so I fostering a little trust and goodwill. can), the removal of so-called ‘rival’ Please note that no-one is asking (we prefer the term ‘independent’) for an OPINION on how the horse is expected to run publications in betting you have outlets seems churlish Considering the yard (unless access to some beyond belief. had volunteered the kind of crystal It even extends to ball, in which opportunity rather racing results and case, fire away). replays.

Although it’s not the first time (the Bass and Snaith yards in particular are very good about inviting folks to look at their horses), it is certainly the first time this seems to have been done this early in the season, making it particularly, well, nice. So well done to Glen and the team. Also thanks to Kenilworth Racing for giving the go ahead. I know logistics have been extremely difficult with Durbanville out of commission and gestures like this can do nothing but build interest in the horses and season ahead as well as allow one to follow horses with a bit more confidence. Next time I will remember to wear more sensible shoes.

Entering The Brons Age Breeding Winners – Gauteng Style!

While aeroplanes have always been his ﬁrst passion, Netherlands born Fred Brons has set course and is ﬂying full throttle into breeding winning racehorses.

fter introductions and a handshake, we sort of put our foot in it as we get the discussion rolling, asking him about his ‘sideline’. He reacts with some animated conviction. “We see breeding racehorses as a business and there is nothing more rewarding than having your hobby, passion and true grit become a way of life. So, no, it’s definitely not a sideline!,” he says as he explains that he runs his own aircraft Charter and Leasing company, called Fair Aviation, including a travel agency, Journey Corp. “I am still career building and hoping I can leave the aviation section to my two boys, Clint and Dean, while I release myself into the horse business,” says the enthusiastic businessman.

Timing

But why get into breeding in this economic climate? We seem to have pressed another button! “When must you play the breeding market? There are as many avenues as there are dead ends. Life is a walk and we can choose to walk the path or stay where you are. Life is

full of opportunities and we can test them or we can avoid them. Life is a challenge and we can reach out to them, or sit on the sidewalk. Life is a risk and we can take that risk or we can hide in a safe haven. I’d like to say that what we are doing is a ‘calculated risk’,” he says consideredly. “People will tell you that that breeding in Gauteng is a massive risk and the chances of success are minimal. Brilliant advice! Therefore if we are going to take a calculated risk, we best do our calculations thoroughly, and hope and pray that we can create an edge. If we are going to breed the ‘traditional’ way, then we will be doomed to fail. But we’d like to look at it a very differently,” he says.

Into Africa

Arriving in South Africa from the Netherlands at the age of three, Fred grew up on the East Rand. He attended Rynfield Laerskool and Brandwag Hoerskool and only managed to get through school, he suggests modestly, because of his sport ability. After matric, he completed a Technical Diploma in Electronics, a Diploma in Computer Science, a Marketing Diploma as well as

horserman, and his own insight into bloodlines, could be a winner. “Advocate Nigel Riley owns the farm. He was a horseman from a very young age and became a licenced Trainer. He knows a horse inside out and can quickly see the potential of a racehorse based on conformation and temperament. And he has the knack to spot if something is not right and always has a good feeling on the medication process until a vet is available. You just cannot fault his horsemanship!” he says with obvious admiration. Fred Brons a B.Com Degree. He also completed a shortened MBA through UNISA. But after all that formal education, it was a ‘horse mad’ girlfriend and a grey mare called Misty that stoked his interest in thoroughbreds that would eventually lead to the gates of Heversham Park Farm. In his quest to breed the ultimate racehorse, Fred has joined forces with Advocate Nigel Riley at Heversham Park Farm in the Daleside Valley, halfway between Johannesburg and the Vaal. A pedigree specialist of thirty years, the straightalking Hollander is determined to change perceptions that suggest it isn’t possible to breed a decent horse in Gauteng. He believes the natural synergy between Advocate Riley the

Good Guidance

Fred’s speciality is pedigrees, which he has developed over some 30 years. But he admits that looking at conformation and legs is not his strongest talent – but he is learning fast. “ Corne Spies has been helpful. He took me with him to an auction and shared his experience from horse to horse. I really loved that and what an education, it was,” he concedes. “Advocate Riley is a strategist and acknowledging his shortcoming on bloodlines and my need to have a partner who can help build the ‘ultimate’ racehorse, brought us together at a meeting to see if we could start a breeding association - and we clicked from day one!” To be continued Next week – Heversham Park, the sires and the T-BAS system

Top-class Blushing Groom sire Rahy, a half-brother to former South African sire Rakeen and champion Singspiel, certainly made his mark as a broodmare sire

he former Three Chimneys resident currently ranks as damsire of 145 stakes winners. Putting this into perspective, daughters of Rahy have bred more black type winners than high-class broodmare sires like Quiet American (78 ), Distorted Humor (55), Galileo (59) and Machiavellian (100). Among the notable performers produced by Rahy mares are the Gr1 winners Giant’s Causeway, After Market, Sophisticat, Courageous Cat, Declaration Of War, Life At Ten, Alverta, Furthest Land, Rahy’s Attorney, Rutherienne, and Megahertz. It is worth noting the success that Rahy mares enjoyed when mated to Storm Cat, with that mating producing Giant’s Causeway, the siblings After Market and Courageous Cat, and Gr1 Coronation Stakes winner Sophisticat.

Champion Stakes Rahy’s most influential and important daughter remains the outstanding Mariah’s Storm, who ranks as the second dam of Saturday’s G1 Qipco Irish Champion Stakes winner Decorated Knight and Sunday’s G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes winner Happily (both by Galileo). Now a three time Gr1 winner, Decorated Knight is out of Mariah’s Storm’s placed daughter Pearling (Storm Cat). The latter fetched 1.3 million guineas at the 2011 Tattersalls December Sale. Pearling is a full-sister to two outstanding producers in the form of Giant’s Causeway and You’resothrilling respectively. Her dam’s legacy continues to grow –both through the ongoing success of her son Giant’s Causeway and through her daughters.

The Future Is Bright! Highlands Stud’s 2018 sire prospect Canford Cliffs was represented by a smart European stakes winner this weekend when his daughter Princess Asta picked up her third black type victory. Winner of the 2016 Gr3 Premio Chiusura, Princess Asta romped to a three length victory in Sunday’s Listed Preis des Lotto In Bayern-Bayerischer Fliegerpreis over 1300m to record her fifth career victory from just 14 outings. Her sire Canford Cliffs has a number of smart runners representing him in 2017 including repeat Gr3 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Oak Tree Stakes winner Al Jazi and Melbourne Cup hopeful Wall Of Fire. Another daughter, Goodthingstaketime,runner up in the recent Gr3 Curragh Stakes, holds an entry in the Gr1 Juddmonte Cheveley Park Stakes at the end of the month. Winner of five Gr1 races in a row, Canford Cliffs will stand his first season at Highlands, Part of Ridgemont in South Africa next year. The Irish-bred Canford Cliffs is a son of Tagula out of Mrs Marsh and was ridden by Richard Hughes in all his races. He was trained by Richard Hannon, Sr.

Top-class Blushing Groom sire RAHY Mariah’s Storm is another nod to the theory that the best racemares make the best broodmares, having won 10 of 16 outings - despite fracturing her pastern as two-year-old. She won six graded races, with Mariah’s Storm also scoring a notable success at the expense of Rahy’s great daughter Serena’s Song in the Gr3 Turfway Breeders’ Cup of 1996 and won three major stakes at Arlington Park.

It’s A Bet Like another outstanding broodmare Hasili, Mariah’s Storm traces back in female line to the Heliopolis mare Itsabet.

Her triple US champion sire son, and former Horse Of The Year, Giant’s Causeway is well established as Storm Cat’s very best sire son, with more than 170 stakes winners to his name, including the successful sires Shamardal, Footstepsinthesand and First Samurai - sire of this weekend’s stakes winning 2yo Bet She Wins. His grandsons Lope De Vega and Justin Phillip have also made promising starts to their respective stud careers giving hope that Giant’s Causeway may yet maintain the Storm Cat male line. Giant’s Causeway, sire of South

On The Right Path

African Gr1 winners Blueridge Mountain and Our Giant, is also broodmare sire of current outstanding US galloper Gun Runner (Candy Ride). The latter has won the Gr1 Stephen Foster Stakes, Gr1 Whitney Stakes and Gr1 Woodward Stakes at his last three outings and is currently a leading contender for Horse Of The Year honours. Giant’s Causeway, whose South African based son Eightfold Path was represented by his first winner this weekend, has himself been represented by a pair of graded winners in North America this year. Mariah Storm’s Gr2 Cherry Hinton Stakes winning daughter You’resothrilling (Storm Cat) shows every sign of becoming at least as an important mare as her dam. She is already dam of five stakes horses (each by Galileo) including Irish 2000/2000 Guineas winner and Coolmore sire Gleneagles, Irish 1000 Guineas winner Marvellous, the above mentioned Happily and Gr3 CL Weld Park Stakes winner Coolmore.

Dance On You’resothrilling has once again made her mark in 2017 – with her son Taj Mahal finishing second in the Gr1 Secretariat Stakes and and 2yo daughter Happily landing the G3 Silver Flash Stakes prior to taking out Sunday’s G1 feature. Mariah’s Storm is also responsible for the very successful Freud, sire of US Gr1 winners Giant Ryan and Franny Freud, as well as current highclass performer Sharp Azteca (he has more than 40 stakes winners to his credit), and Chilean sire Tumblebrutus. Mariah’s Storm’s Storm Cat son Tiger Dance, now deceased, resided in South Africa where he produced Gr3 East Cape Derby winner Tribal Dance and Listed Perfect Promise Stakes winner Kitti Cat.

Scott Brothers’ Giant’s Causeway stallion Eightfold Path produced his first winner at Turffontein on Saturday when the Roy Magner trained Brigtnumberten got off the mark at his sixth career start. Ridden by Gavin Lerena, Brigtnumberten showed his characteristic speed before holding on to beat the highly regarded Hampton Court by just under two lengths in a time of 58.41 secs for the 1000m. The winner, who had run decent places at his two previous runs, is raced by Hartley SA (Pty) Ltd and was bred by BIT Thoroughbreds out of the two-time winning Joshua Dancer mare, Summer Dew. The icebreaker was overdue for the handsome stallion who won from 1200m to a mile. From his eight runners this season, four have placed. Last term, nine of his ten runners placed. The only son of Storm Cat stallion Giant’s Causeway at stud in South Africa, Eightfold Path is a French Gr3 (Prix Eclipse) and Listed winner and is impeccably-bred out of the 5-time Gr1 winner Divine Proportions. The latter hails from a sire producing female line, the likes of Shirley Heights and Pentire Champion Sires in their own right – with Konigstiger and Whipper also featuring prominently in sires lists in Europe. Racing in the famous Niarchos colours, Eightfold Path was one of trainer Pascal Bary’s leading hopes for the 2010 Classic season, but was injured during the build up to the French 2000 Guineas. Eightfold Path’s top priced yearling to date sold for R325 000 at the National Yearling Sale. He stands at Scott Bro’s for a fee of R10 000 this season.

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

Quick Silver Scottsville 3 September Five of the nine races in Pietermaritzburg on Sunday were staged over 1200m and surprisingly the quickest of these, given that just four went to post, was the novice plate won by the highly regarded BILLY SILVER. Soon nicely positioned in second, the unbeaten son of Silvano took up the running 400m out, and with a ton in hand won going away by two. Quickest home in the two 1600m events was WILD WICKET when landing the afternoon’s feature event, a MR90 Handicap. Content to race fifth of the six early on, Duncan Howells’ charge ran on best of all over the final 400m and in what proved to be a real thriller he only got the better of SAINT MARCO (raced 2nd – led 250m) on the nod. The two remaining races were both run over 1750m and stopping the clock in the fastest time amongst these was HADDINGTON in the MR66 Handicap. Always second in the betting market, Louis Goosen’s charge made all. He raced two and a quarter lengths clear for most of the journey, and although that advantage was cut into at the business end of the race, he still had a length to spare at the wire. TITBITS After making all, CHAMPENOIS was eased late when winning the second division of the maiden plate for the girls over 1200m with plenty in hand by three and a half.

All The Rage

Turffontein 5 September They raced on the old stand side track on Tuesday. Four of the afternoon’s eight races were staged over 1600m and all the rage in what proved to be the fastest of these, a MR89 Handicap, was the former Cape Town campaigner KILRAIN. Confidently ridden by Callan Murray the Dynasty gelding raced fifth of the six early on. He quickened well over the final 500m and with the rest well beaten he got the better of the second favourite SHUKAMISA by a length and three quarters. The only other distance to stage more than one race on this card was 1160m where the quickest home was MADAM SECRETARY in the MR76 Handicap. On leaving the stalls it was LA ROQUETTE who elected to make the running whilst the daughter of Tiger Ridge sat handy in fourth. She was ridden to lead shortly after passing the 200m marker and comfortably accounted for the in-form LAST GIRL STANDING by a length and a half. A maiden plate over 1160m had opened up proceedings and here we saw a smart performance from the newcomer YAMOTO. Always top of the boards, Sean Tarry’s wellsupported runner raced in midfield early on. He put his head in front at the halfway mark and asked to do no more than was necessary in the latter stages of the race, he comfortably accounted for the improving KING OF THE DELTA by two. TITBITS Racing green, WALTER SMOOTHIE quickened nicely late when getting off the mark at just the second time of asking in the maiden plate over 1600m.

Spurs Hit The Crossbar Scottsville 6 September

Turffontein 7 September PILLAROFTHEEARTH 100m from home, but fought back gamely below the distance to score by a half. Three of the four remaining races were staged over 1160m and stopping the clock in the fastest time amongst these was MINNESOTA in the MR76 Handicap. Freely available at 14/1 on the off, the marginally in under sufferance 5yo also made the running. He too was headed at the business end of the race before rallying back late to win by a length. TITBITS The newcomer LA BASTIDE won the maiden plate for the girls over 1160m with some in hand.

The Word Was Out Fairview 8 September Friday’s action took place on the poly track where fastest home in the three 1600m races was VALEDICTION in the MR80 Handicap. Sent off a generously priced favourite at 5/1, the Captain Al mare raced in midfield for most of the journey. She quickened well early in the short home straight and won going away after striking the front 150m from home. The MR78 Handicap was the faster of the two 1000m races and here the Rebel King gelding ZIP LINE registered his fourth career victory. Soon up handy, Corne Spies’ charge was always poised to strike. He did so close home and won well by a half from the running on ROCK ME VAR.

MOON PRINCESS in the MR74 Handicap. Soon up handy, Glen Kotzen’s charge ran on strongly over the final 400m and comfortably accounted for the equally fancied LOVE LYRIC by three quarters. Making up the eight race program was a maiden plate over 1950m and here a bit of an upset was to be had when CHILLI AFFAIR got off the mark. Freely available at 10/1 on the off, the well exposed 6yo was soon up handy. He was headed by the 16/10 favourite COYS (come on you spurs) 100m out, but fought back gamely below the distance to score by a neck. TITBITS

Silver Cent Racing returned to Pietermaritzburg on Wednesday where very unusually there were no sprint races. 1400m took the lion’s share of the events with the fastest of the four being the MR70 Handicap won by the 5yo The strongly fancied even money SILVER CENT. Always available at favourite LUCKY AT LAST ran on around 14/1, the son of Bankable well from midfield when winning the raced prominent throughout. He ran maiden plate over 1600m. on strongly in the straight and in a thrilling three way finish, he got the better of the 3/1 favourite KINGS EMPIRE by a neck. Three of the four remaining races took place over 1600m Horses worth following at their next few starts... and stopping the clock in the BILLY SILVER (D Bosch, KZN) fastest time amongst these was BOXLEY (A Greeff, E-Cape)

Finding Extra The old stand side track also staged the action on Thursday where the faster of the two 1400m events on the card was the opening maiden plate won by the newcomer SEERITE. Easy to back at 30/1 on the off, Robbie Sage’s poorly drawn runner raced in midfield for most of the journey. He quickened well early in the straight and flew past the 32/10 favourite HARD BALL 50m out to win going away by two and a quarter. They also ran two races over 1000m and quickest home in these was ALPINE ECHO in the MR74 affair. The 3yo got away well when the gates opened and taken straight to the front by Matthew Thackeray attempted to make all. He was headed by the favourite

Always handy, the easy to back Trippi gelding fought out a thrilling three way finish with the market leaders SACRED ORATION and CHINA EXPRESS, and only got the verdict by the narrowest of margins. TITBITS Sent off a strong favourite at 15/10, the newcomer BOXLEY impressed when running on stoutly from midfield to win the maiden plate over 1000m going away.
