Goodtime Gal is very effective over the 1400m

Gr3 PRIX DU CAP at Kenilworth this Saturday

Joey Ramsden has been in the wars of late, between a shoulder operation and an accident at his yard. But the resilient Brit will be out to end the Cape Summer Season in style with a double in Saturday’s R250 000 Gr3 Prix Du Cap.

ith his 2017 Prix Du Cap winner Just Sensual, the 2016 Cape Fillies Guineas victress, sold and en route to Australia, JR will be keen for a big run from the Gimmethegreenlight filly Rose In Bloom in advance of the KZN Champions Season. Brian and Kathy Finch’s favourite has raced in the daunting shadows of the likes of Snowdance and Magical Wonderland in recent months, and deserves a break. The Listed Irrisdescence Stakes winner of her 2yo season, the gallant Rose In Bloom is not particularly well in on the conditions of this weightfor-age plus penalties contest. But she is overdue to score a first win in her 3yo term after placings in some serious features. If the 1400m doesn’t catch her out, she could prove the value under Robert Khathi. Joint topweight Goodtime Gal has found things tough with relatively ordinary efforts in the Majorca Stakes and Paddock Stakes. The daughter of Royal Air Force is best around this trip and can improve on

her sixth to Just Sensual last year. A runner-up there was Andre Nel’s Captain’s Flame, who will be a popular choice from the 1 draw. The daughter of Captain Al is getting on and hasn’t won in ages – but she is very smart and a difficult lady to peg back, when out front. Miss Katalin finished third behind Rose In Bloom in the Irridescence Stakes last season but achieved a big win with a devastating late run in the Lanzerac Ready To Run Stakes at her penultimate start. She ran on smartly at her last start to beat a small field over Saturday’s course and distance and can challenge for serious money here. Final Judgement was outgunned in the Majorca Stakes last time out and prior to that travelled to PE where she was beaten out of the money in the Listed Lady’s Bracelet. The choice of Richard Fourie to ride course and distance winner Elusive Heart, suggests the latter is the stable elect. Elusive Heart failed to feature in the Sophomore Sprint last time but should prove more competitive against her own sex. The daughter

of Elusive Fort boasts a rare victory over the trip (on the old course) over Snowdance and is worth including in bigger perms. Seattle Gold failed to find her feet in the summer features but is a strong front-runner at best. Whose That Girl found the peak of the Cape Summer Season too hot to handle with unplaced runs in the Victress and the Paddock Stakes. She is a more serious threat in the winter and has to beat her wide draw. The well-bred and lightly raced Love To Boogie is a difficult customer

to assess. She came back to win well after a six month break but is unexposed and goes this trip for the first time. Louisiana has no recent form to recommend her and we have to go back to June 2017 to track her last win. Goodtime Gal and Captain’s Flame are powerful forward gallopers and capable of fighting this out. A hot pace seems assured and that could play into the hands of Rose In Bloom and the improving Miss Katalin, who can run them all down late.

Hot Horses - And The Rest Whether it’s the lure of the peri-peri prawns or the option of a crack at the projected Pick 6 pool of R2,2 million, a reasonable crowd is anticipated at Kenilworth on Saturday, where the curtain comes down on an eventful Cape Summer Of Champions Season. The big season culminated on Sun Met day when Justin Snaith realised a long-held family ambition by winning Cape Town’s premier race, the Sun Met, and wrote his own racing history in the process. The victory by Australian-bred Oh Susanna was a breathtaking showing and a rare achievement by a 3yo filly – the last being Chair Lady in 1902. Snaith has been quoted as suggesting that Saturday 27 January 2018 must go down as the best day of his racing career, as he also won two other Gr1’s on the card in the Cape Flying Championship

with Sergeant Hardy and the Majorca Stakes with Snowdance. The annual Cape Town Prawn Festival promises fresh seafood and live entertainment – and some top quality racing into the bargain. DJ Mark Grange and the legendary Cape Minstrels will provide the entertainment on the lawns, with Kenilworth Racing going the extra mile with child minders, and even a tattoo artist. There is also a chance to win R30 000 in household appliances. Gates open at 11h00, with the first race off at 13h20. The last race is at 18h00 and the event will run until 19h00. Don’t miss your Sporting Post next weekend as we take a look back at the big winners and all the season stats.

LADY'S PENDANT (L) at Fairview this Friday

Some Sparkling Gems GOLD CIRCLE

The consistent Summer Sky has plenty in his favour

JET MASTER STAKES (L) at Kenilworth this Saturday

Saluting Summer

The R150 000 Listed Jet Master Stakes, rescheduled from its traditional Guineas day slot, adds some quality entertainment value to the closing day of the Cape Summer of Champions festival at Kenilworth on Saturday.

quality field of ten will line up for the race, weighted off MR bands, with penalties for Gr1 and Gr2 wins. Dean Kannemeyer has two in the field, headed by the supremely consistent Summer Sky. The 4yo son of Trippi ran on steadily over the course and distance last time and with a 2kg swing at the weights looks set to reverse his 0,75 length defeat by Perovskia. A winner of 4 of his 16 starts, Morne Winnaar – who won on him three runs back – looks to have plenty in his favour from a 1 draw with a handy galloping weight. Now with Dan Katz, Mac de Lago has not won since his big win in the 2016 Gr1 Gold Challenge and never showed in the Peninsula Handicap at his last start. The 6yo is racing well off his career peak MR of 114 and cannot be fancied on current form. Joey Ramsden’s chestnut flyer Macduff is a versatile son of Street Flyer, who has never quite found his correct trip. He stumbled in running when finishing just under 5 lengths behind Bishop’s Bounty in the Diadem Stakes. Our Mate Art started his 4yo season like a horse going places, winning two on the trot, including the Matchem Stakes. While racing in strong company, he failed to impress in either the Green Point Stakes or the Peninsula Handicap and is a difficult sort to catch right. On best form he would have an undeniable shout. The bang in-form Richard Fourie pilots Piet Steyn’s consistent Waiting For Rain. The son of Black Minnaloushe never runs a bad race and won a cracker at his last start when beating Benjan in a tight finish. Off his 51kg mark, he

may well be good enough to grab what would be a deserved first stakes success. Mambo Mime was a class 3yo but he has been dogged by bad luck on the health front. He beat Milton at his penultimate start and then looked dangerous briefly in the straight before fading to 6 lengths behind Eyes Wide Open in the Peninsula Handicap. He is an above average sort and worth including in quartets. Harold Crawford’s Perovskia is one of the best produce of Russian Sage and steps up in class after two hard fought wins in handicap company. He may battle to hold Summer Sky at the 2kg weight turnaround but should be in the shake up. Catkin enjoys a 5kg turnaround in the weights with Fifty Cents for a 2,55 length beating last time and comes in fresh off an 11 week break. The son of Horse Chestnut is very game and can run well fresh. Fifty Cents survived an objection by the then promising 3yo Horizon to win this race in 2016 and the 5yo is currently in prime form, having won 3 of his last 4 starts. He was a particularly facile winner at Fairview last time and if over the exertions of the travel, he must go into selections. The gutsy Gr2 Premier Trophy winner Milton was not persevered with in the Peninsula Handicap at his next start when returning not striding out on the right fore.The 6yo has to lumber top weight but is always dangerous out front and enjoys the course and distance. Summer Sky ticks all the boxes. He is a horse who can be ridden from off the pace and can also go up and make them gallop. He is the pick to beat Waiting For Rain and Our Mate Art.

The Cape raiders add a dimension of quality to Friday’s Fairview feature, the R150 000 Listed Lady’s Pendant to be run over the 1200m straight.

he fillies and mares feature, run at weight-for-age plus penalties for stakes wins, is the headliner on a well patronised eight race programme. Gavin Smith saddles the eight-time winning Easy Street, who carries top weight of 60kgs and must play a part in the finish. The daughter of Brave Tin Soldier is a cracker over this course and distance. The one concern is that she has been reported not striding out at her last two starts. Alan Greeff and Greg Cheyne won this race last year with that top-class mare Clear Sailing and team up with former Kotzen runner, Our Destiny. The daughter of Var has had two quiet local runs but was fancied here last year when a decent fifth to Clear Sailing. Andre Nel looks to be over the worst of the yard’s virus and he travels with the Querari mare Hoist The Mast, who starts first time in the Eastern Cape. She ran above herself when storming home and almost upsetting Gr1 winner Just Sensual in the Gr2 Southern Cross Stakes three runs back. Now racing under new ownership, the 4yo Star Burst Galaxy is in prime form and her formline shows her to be a veritable ATM. A course and distance winner, she cannot be left out and jockey Callan Murray knows her well. Brett Crawford’s Clifton Sunset has her first run at Fairview and the daughter of Canford Cliffs had good form before returning form a two month rest and casting shoe in running. The jockey-trainer are very effective with their intermittent trips to this centre. The Justin Snaith pair of Twinkle Toes and

Angel’s Trumpet will enjoy plenty of support, with the latter the better on her outstanding fourth after being hampered in the Gr2 Sceptre Stakes. Pepper Oak ran a disappointing race last time after winning 3 of her first 5 starts. The Glen Kotzen yard have a serious strike rate when raiding from their Paarl home-base and send out a decent pair of Anneline and Gr2 The Debutante winner, Princess Peach. The latter has not found a winning strike in four starts as a 3yo, but has had her excuses and could be a value bet if things go her way. The daughter of Captain Al ran on well late for third behind star Magical Wonderland in the Gr2 Sceptre Stakes at her last start. Candice Bass – Robinson also brings a pair of runners up from the Cape. Aldo Domeyer rides Felicity Flyer, who appears to be the stable elect. The daughter of Noordhoek Flyer is a game sort but choked up in the Sceptre Stakes, where she ran well downfield. On her best form she must have a chance of place money. Stablemate Scandola has her first run in this centre but has been outgunned in her last few starts and will need to improve. Favour’s Pride is racing off form and doesn’t inspire confidence in this line-up. Third of the Greeff trio, Excellent drops in trip after two quiet runs over further. She looks unlikely here. With no banker in sight, it may pay to go wide. Star Burst Galaxy and Easy Street are two class acts, with the likes of Princess Peach, Hoist The Mast and Angel’s Trumpet the dangers.

Lyle Hewitson crouches low as Champagne Haze storms to victory

Gr3 TOMMY HOTSPUR HANDICAP Turffontein last Saturday

The Gary Alexander Racing Team produced an emotionalfor fourth. None of the 3yo’s stamped any claim longshot surprise in a race named after the greatest for a possible Computaform Sprint berth. horse they have trained, when Lyle Hewitson put in a Angel’s Power appeared to go wrong in flying finish on Champagne Haze to win the R250 000 running and finished trailed off. Gr3 Tommy Hotspur Handicap at Turffontein on Saturday. Lyle Hewitson, who is just four short of

orseracing has a habit of scripting fairytales and this was one with many players. Like the Alexander family, who trained the winner and produced such wonderful memories with the great Tommy Hotspur. Like Lyle Hewitson, who rode a beautifully judged race and took a step closer to joining Michael Roberts and Gavin Lerena in his recordbreaking apprentice win tally. Like Mick Goss and his Summerhill Stud, who bred the winner and his champion half-brother, Pierre Jourdan, and also claimed a terrific feat by producing the top three in this Gr3 cracker. With the late withdrawals of Rivarine and Mujallad, reserve Golden Man come into the tricky 1000m handicap, with Pure Blonde hovering around the top of the betting boards as a lukewarm favourite. After Talktothestars had jumped slowly

and made some ground, Lyle Hewitson had Champagne Haze – with head turned slightly sideways – stone last at the halfway mark as the speed merchants Wrecking Ball and Rebel’s Champ showed the way. With the revitalised 7yo Greasepaint bursting into the lead at the 350m, Hewitson angled Champagne Haze to the outside and he burst between two horses to catch the leader and win going away by 1,70 lengths in a time of 56,56 secs. A thrilling victory and a great effort over a distance he has never won over and in what was meant to be a prep run for his Senor Santa double bid next month. Roy Magner’s Greasepaint continues to earn his keep and ran another gallant race. While he has not won in ages, a 9th career victory looks within reach if he maintains this level of enthusiasm. Pure Blonde was a neck back in third, with Tandava shading Sporting Monarch

Gavin Lerena’s apprentice record mark of 284 winners, called Champagne Haze an ‘amazing horse’. “He didn’t stay in the Charity Mile. But he put up some good work in the week and I came in confident.He was outpaced early, but gave when I asked,” he said. Assistant trainer Dean Alexander was quick to commend Hewitson on his ride and went on to say that Champagne Haze was not far off his half-brother Pierre Jourdan. He thanked his team at home and also the owners for their loyal support. Champagne Haze has won 6 races with 7 places from his 23 starts for stakes of a healthy R2 268 950. A R280 000 CTS Johannesburg RTR Sale, the winner is by Kahal (Machiavellian) out of the prolific four-time winner Vin Fizz (Qui Danzig) and was bred at Summerhill Stud. Next for the Senor Santa – and then on to the Computaform Sprint!

Bold July Bid

Pivotal son Wings Of Desire’s connections are to consider running him in the Vodacom Durban July Handicap at Greyville before he takes up stud duties at Heversham Park Farm later this year. THE Racing Post reports that the 5yo was trained by John Gosden in Britain for owner-breeder Lady Bamford to win the Gr2 Dante Stakes at York on only his third start in 2016, Wings Of Desire was purchased by Heversham Park in December, in a deal brokered by bloodstock agent Richard Venn. The five-year-old son of Pivotal was also fourth in Harzand’s Derby and subsequently earned a career-high Racing Post Rating of 119 for his valiant second to the year-older Highland Reel in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. Wings Of Desire boasts a true Classic pedigree as a brother to the Royal Ascot scorer Eagle Top and Oaks third The Lark, out of Gull Wing, a Listed-winning half-sister to Pivotal’s dual Oaks heroine Sariska. He came out of quarantine last week and is likely to go into training with Ormond Ferraris. The feature is run on 7 July.

A beautifully judged front-running ride from JP van der Merwe made all the difference in the R80 000 Breeders Guineas Plate at Fairview. The non black-type top-liner on the polytrack nine-race programme produced a thrilling finish with the former Met winning rider producing a pearler to keep the Gavin Smithtrained Royal Air Force filly Cloud Atlas going in the face of a powerful late threat from the fancied What A Player. The talented Cloud Atlas – who was placed in a KZN feature early in her 3yo term – is no slouch and when she gets her head in front, is a difficult act to peg back over 1400m. Ridden confidently and aggressively is the way she likes it, and she showed terrific heart and courage to win by a head in a time of 84,11 secs. Greg Cheyne, who had a frustrating afternoon with a host of places on fancied runners, looked to have timed his run to the tee on What A Player, but the Greeff runner just failed to lift her game in those last two strides. She should not be long in making amends. Snaith challenger Bid Before Sunset was well beaten 5 lengths adrift in third. Cloud Atlas was bred by Dr Ian Heyns and is a daughter of Royal Air Force (Jet Master) out of Festive Fantasy (Special Preview). A R60 000 National 2yo Sale buy, Cloud Atlas has won 3 races with 4 places from 10 starts for stakes of R267 550. Jacques Strydom and Karl Zechner were the star pairing on the afternoon, with Sao Paulo and Frikkie landing the double honours.

At the age of 24 and riding freelance, Keagan De Melo looks set to be finally realising his potential as a jockey with the ability to go on to greater things. The man known as ‘Marshmallow’ was in fine form at Scottsvile on Sunday, booting home a hat-trick of winners, including the feature on Head Honcho for Andre Nel. Scottsville was the scene of De Melo’s first win when, as a green rookie having just his fourth ride, he piloted Western Gem to victory for Bart Rice. The date was 9 August 2010 and it was the start of a journey that would see the young man clock up close on 500 winners. With the R125 000 Umthombothi Stakes favourite Red Chesnut Road running a dismal race, De Melo slipped Head Honcho down the inside rail and the son of Querari galloped powerfully all the way to the line to hold off longshot Warfarer by 1,50 lengths in a time of 117,85 secs. The win was a happy change of luck for the Andre Nel yard, who have had a tough time at their Cape West Coast base with a virus. The filly Kahula ran on well for third to edge the one-paced Red Chesnut Road out of the Place Accumulator. De Melo has ridden 73 winners this term and is third on the national log. His earlier two winners on the afternoon were for veteran Pat Lunn. The La Plaisance Stud bred Head Honcho is a son of Querari (Oasis Dream) out of the three-time winner School Captain (Captain Al). He has won 4 races with 4 places from 12 starts for stakes of R316 750.

Trainer Stef Miller and jockey Ryan Munger were in sizzling form at Flamingo Park on Monday with a hat-trick of winners, including a runaway feature win for the rather in-and-out Var gelding, Roquebrune. The 5yo started his career with Mike Azzie in Gauteng and looked a promising sort, but unsoundness has dogged his consistency. His formline tells the story. He won his penultimate jump by 6,50 lengths, was reported not striding out when 11 lengths off Miss Aphrodite at his last start – and then pitched up in a galloping mood on Monday. He was never headed and ran away from the R110 000 Kimberley 1400 field to win by 7,25 lengths in a time of 84,74 secs. Topweighted stablemate Red Special finished best of the balance in second. The fancied Nicklaus, having his first run here for Corrie Lensley, never showed. Roquebrune was originally purchased by the Van Vuuren’s Misty Meadows at the 2014 Emperors Palace National Yearling Sale for R700 000. He has won 6 races with 3 places from 20 starts for stakes of R376 475. Bred by Varsfontein Stud, he is by the evergreen Var (Forest Wildcat) out of Naledi (Western Winter), a winner at 3 over a mile and placed 9 times. She is a sister to the well-performed Nevvay. Naledi was purchased with a Wyle Hall colt at foot by Anelle Wilmot for R42 000 off the 2017 Cape Mare Sale. On a day of typically tricky results at Kimberley's dust bowl, Ryan Munger and Stef Miller reigned supreme. The combination’s win strikerate is 20% and they could be a pair to watch closely. The underrated Munger rode his first winner on 30 December 2012 at Clairwood. That was on Nordic Lass for Dennis Drier.

Fond Farewells Steyn For Vaal To A Great Man

After trainer Louis Goosen’s highly successful migration from the Vaal to Ashburton, another man is moving in exactly the opposite direction.

A memorial service was held in Durban on Monday afternoon following the passing last week of one of KZN racing’s senior statesmen and long established supporters in Ben Jonsson.

Chairman of the SA Jockey Academy, Mr Jonsson – known to many as Benji – served as a local executive of the Jockey Club, now known as the National Horseracing Authority (NHA), and also as a head executive of the Jockey Club. “He was like a father to the apprentices, he was held in such high regard,” his great friend of decades standing, Bill Lambert, told Gold Circle’s David Thiselton. Mr Jonsson’s love of horseracing included riding in amateur races in the 1940s. He rode at such venues as Lions River Karkloof, Hilton Road, Greytown, Isipingo, Mooi River and Maritzburg.He won a few races and extracted much enjoyment from this pastime. He also never missed a professional racemeeting as a spectator and loved to have a flutter. In the 1940s he kept a carefully compiled register of every bet he ever took and also recorded the gate fee in the accounts record. One of a set of triplets, his elder sibling, the late Hugh, was the breeder of Jet Master, one of the greatest South African stallions of all time. The late Mr Jonsson’s connection to Mick Goss and his family started when, as a young man recently out of school, Ben made his first investment in a racehorse, acquiring a colt from Mick Goss’s grandfather, Pat Goss Snr, in the mid 1940’s for the princely sum of £50. Legend has it that Ben had only £35 from his savings to spend, and had to borrow the remaining £15 from his employer, which he redeemed at £2 a month. Unable to afford the training fees, Ben leased the colt to the grandfather of David Pianel, famous for his

Steyn was active at the Shongweni Sale last Tuesday. “I have 10 nice horses to start with. I am serving out my notice and will slowly move to the Vaal. All my family are up there – I’m just not looking forward to the cold weather.”

Tarry Geared For Big Season Trainer Sean Tarry has confirmed that his horses are fit and well and that he is looking for some big performances from his charges during the forthcoming Highveld Autumn and KZN Champions Seasons.

Great friends – Mick Goss (left) seen in conversation with Ben Jonsson association with the studs of the Rowles family (Ivanhoe) and Sydney Press’ Coromandel Stud. Ben’s colt was no champion. He won two heats on the same day at the Lions River gymkhana. But he went on to own many good horses – the likes of the Qui Danzig galloper, What A Question, amongst them. In his latter years he would still attend virtually every KZN meeting. He was by this time quite a prolific owner together with his son NIck. Mr Jonsson founded the successful company Jonsson Workwear, which is now owned by Nick. Jonsson Workwear have also become loyal supporters of South African racing and among the races they sponsor is the prestigious Gr1 Garden Province Stakes, which is run on Vodacom Durban July day. A saddened Bill Lambert summed it up, “He was a wonderful, wonderful man … this is just too much.”

Triple Crown Time With the Gauteng Guineas and the Gauteng Fillies Guineas final fields being announced on Thursday, the true value test of the SA Triple Crown and SA Triple Tiara is under the spotlight again.

he SA Triple Crown, with the SA Triple Tiara, gets underway on Saturday 3 March, and is undoubtedly a remarkable test of ability, character and endurance. To win three tough races from a mile to 2450m over eight weeks takes a helluva horse and a feat of conditioning. That’s why we have names like Mike de Kock, Geoff Woodruff and Mike Azzie on the honour roll. The great Horse Chestnut won the inaugural Triple Crown in 1999, Louis The King did it in 2014 and Abashiri was the star of the show in 2016. But is it really the ‘ultimate test of brilliance’, as often tagged? Logistical factors, such as travelling and the altitude, often prevent the emerging stars from the Cape from taking their chances. “Master trainers have been trying to raid Johannesburg from Cape Town for more than a century. It has been done successfully on occasions but, basically, we can’t reinvent the wheel.” Jono Snaith told Michael Clower recently.

Deshone Steyn, long-time assistant to Sean Tarry in KZN, has called time on his assistant trainer’s license and starts out on his own at the Vaal next month. “I’ve had close on 12 years with Sean and I think that’s enough. It’s just the right time,” he said.

Bringing in the alternate first leg of the Gr1 Cape Guineas hasn’t really worked either. So the prestigious SA Triple Crown kicks off with a Gr2 in the Gauteng Guineas. Race gradings are fairly scientific. Assessments are done on the basis of the top four finishers’ top rating achieved at the end of the season being averaged out. This is done over a three year period to achieve a levelling out. For Gr1’s, the average required is a 115. If this is not achieved, the IFHA will issue a warning and a likely downgrade follows. Let’s think about reinventing the SA Triple Crown. What about the Cape Guineas (December), reschedule the Daily News to April, and culminate with the SA Derby in May? Is parochialism, coupled with control and vested interests across provincial and operator boundaries, preventing us from putting our heads together and creating the genuine ‘ultimate test of brilliance’? This editorial was carried in the SP Digest issue 2435 – don’t miss this week’s Digest!

According to reports, Tarry has earned over R10 million in each of the last three Highveld Autumn seasons and he is expected to cut back the current lead of close on R7 million held by the rampant Justin Snaith on the SA Champion trainer table. In an exclusive chat to the Sporting Post, the multiple SA champion announced that former Charles Laird Assistant trainer Lorenzo Karriem has taken the reins of his KZN Sattelite yard from Deshone Steyn, who left last week. “I want to wish Deshone

everything of the best in his new venture. He has been with me since Succesful Bidder’s win in the 2007 Drill Hall Stakes and he has played a prominent role in the yard’s success. A change is as good as a holiday and I hope things work out well for him.” Sean said that former jockey Lorenzo Karriem would be taking over the day-to-day running of the KZN yard. “He has had a good grounding of experience with top trainers like Joey Ramsden and Charles Laird and we have a vibrant team ethic and a solid base of top horses and good owners. I

want to welcome Lorenzo and wish him success.” As for the recent Randjesfontein Sale of horses out of his yard, Sean said that he was fortunate to have some young horses coming in to replace the older horses. “That’s the nature and cycle of the game. We lose a few and we gain a few. I am looking forward to being very competitive in the forthcoming feature seasons. We have the established structure in place and now we just need a bit of luck to go our way on the track,” he said.

Laird Calls Time

Longstanding trainer Charles Laird has called it a day.

The multiple Gr1 winning conditioner told Tabnews: “I haven’t officially handed in my licence yet, but sold my last 15 at the Shongweni sale last Tuesday, and am not training anymore. About 90% of my stable was owned by Markus Jooste and since December they have been selling off anything worth racing, so it was time to call it a day.” Part of one of South Africa’s great racing dynasties, Laird took out his licence in September 1995, taking over from his father Russell after five years with the yard. Things got off to a great start when National Emblem won the John Skeaping at his very first meeting, and Charles still rates the great racehorse and

stallion as “the best I have trained”. Prior to that, he had worked as a handicapper at Turffontein, for the TBA and at a stud farm – so he has experienced racing from many different sides. After going to stud, National Emblem also provided Laird with a couple of latter day superstars in Nhlavini and Rebel King, and he also mentions Our Giant, Warm White Night, Seventh Rock and July hero Hunting Tower as others that stand out from a long career. Asked about his future plans, Laird said he was “busy consolidating and winding up the CC and business. After that I will think about what to do next.”

Duncan Barry

On 11 February 2018, the Barry family celebrated a very special milestone – 100 years at Riverton. As a century is pretty special in anyone’s book, we caught up with Robertson’s gentleman farmer.

uncan always greets you warmly, usually accompanied by quip or two and never fails to find the positive – even when things are looking less than rosy. Being asked after his wife at a sale one day, Duncan shot back, “She’s not here.” Then, alluding to the fact he’d sustained a few bruises in the auction ring, “She doesn’t like seeing me suffer,” before flashing a smile to show there were no hard feelings. But the smile never dims and he never loses his enthusiasm and year on year, Riverton produces honest soldiers that serve their owners well. Everything off the farm is 100% handcrafted, with Barry growing the feed the horses are raised on and taking such a hands on approach to watching them grow and develop, that even years after they have left the farm, Riverton horses still respond to his whistle. That sort of care and attention to detail is rare these days, but Riverton is a place where grace is said before meals, where one starts early in the morning and works until the job is done and where business is still conducted with a handshake. Longhand, thorough, proper.

Heritage

The family are descendants of the Honourable Joseph Barry and his nephews who traded by ship and established stores, churches, schools and counting houses (the forerunner to banks in South Africa), across the Overberg in the 1800s. By the late 1830s Barry & Nephews had significantly opened up trade opportunities for Overberg farmers as the overland route was a hazardous, long and expensive journey that discouraged trade with Cape Town. By the late 1850s Barry & Nephews were loading a million pounds of wool direct for London at Port Beaufort and their custom built SS Kadie steamship was navigating 35km from Port Beaufort up the Breede river to Malgas. The land that the farm stands on was purchased by Duncan’s grandfather, Duncan van Reenen Barry, when he returned from fighting World War 1 in 1918. “The Algerian oak trees that stand watch over the old homestead (now a gracious guest house) came with him from France as acorns in his tog bag and they’re still going today,” says Duncan proudly. Duncan van Reenen Barry, known for his great sense of humour and love of life and his fellow man, married Hubertha Deneys van Velden and the pair had a long and devoted marriage, so much so that it is said

that Hubertha died from a broken heart two and a half months after her husband passed away in 1962. The pair had two sons, George Joseph Barry and Alfred Hamilton Barry as well as three daughters, Noelle Mary Johanna Barry, Helen Hubertha Aletta Barry and Jean Duncan Barry. Much like his father, George Barry was known for his sense of humour and great kindness. Like his father, he also went to war, and was injured in the battle of El Alamein when his tank was blown up by a mine. When he returned to South Africa, he worked briefly as an accountant, but returned to the farm full time when his father became ill. George married kindergarten teacher, Marion Jeffery and like the generation before them, they had a long and happy marriage and were blessed with three children, Janet, Patricia and Duncan who now runs Riverton with his wife Natasha and their three children.

Celebration

Four generations of Barrys have lived on the farm to date, and Duncan says, “It’s a privilege, more than anything else, to have grown up here. It was supposed to be special in that it was organised for 11 February because one of my aunts would have turned 90 that day, so we thought we would make it on the 11th and get everyone to celebrate her birthday at the same time, but unfortunately she passed away at the end of last year. But we were very blessed to have my dad’s last remaining sister with us. She is 93 now and still very together and helped raise the new flag we’ve had made.” The guesthouse has a flagpole which flies the SA flag on special occasions and Duncan says there’s a Western Australian flag for

his sister, which gets raised for occasions such as her birthday, and now they have a new one to add to the collection, featuring the Barry coat of arms and the legend ‘Boutez En Avant’, meaning to Push Forward. As befits a celebration of this magnitude, friends and family flew in from far and wide and congregated on Robertson for a full weekend’s celebration. “My sister from Australia was here, cousins from Australia and New Zealand and even from the UK. It was just great to get everyone together. We had my dad’s side of the family as well as my mom’s side. Obviously not everyone was able to make it but we had over 100 people and some close neighbours also involved. It was great and well organised as usual by my wife.”

Horses

The farm had historically focussed on wine and fruit, but in 1967, George started breeding Thoroughbreds with Dr Tommy Foulkes. The imported French sire Jamaico first put Riverton on the map and as per the old horseman’s motto that it’s good luck to keep a grey horse in your barn, fortune has favoured Riverton in the form of grey stallions ever since, including Russian Fox and the current inmate, Blue Tiger. “They were very successful,” says Duncan. “They topped the sales average one year and we’ve got lucky and had some nice horses and some Gr1 winners and hopefully many more to come.” Duncan is the reason there are still horses at Riverton today. After

their initial success, the horses and I think this is the best chance so started to become less profitable far.” Lot 62 is a thoroughly Riverton and by the mid-80’s, George was considering giving up breeding. He product, being from the family of rang Duncan, working and travelling Domino Man by Blue Tiger out of a in Ireland at the time, to discuss his mare named Kadie. “Dad imported thoughts and received the reply, “It’s the third dam, Seavah, from the UK and bred all those your call Dad, but good horses out don’t expect me Riverton is a place where of her. Kadie was back if there are grace is said before meals, the little Barry no horses on the where one starts early in ship that sailed farm!” The horses the morning and works until from Cape Town to the Breede are Duncan’s the job is done and where River mouth and passion as well as his pride and business is still conducted up to Malgas. The mare has joy. Although with a handshake perhaps been the numbers are relatively small, and over the years a little disappointing, but her 2005 he has been rewarded by some high colt, Captain James (named after profile runners, including the likes of Captain James Fowler who captained Cardinal Fury (the first Gr1 winner the Kadie) looked like a decent horse, produced under Duncan’s care), but was killed in a float accident Domino Man, Potent Power and new with What A Winter’s brother, What sire Captain Of All, but prides himself A Question.” Knowing how much on their high winners to runners ratio. time, effort and planning goes into Duncan’s matings, why Blue Tiger for BSA Cape Yearling Sale Kadie this time round? “Honestly?

He’s have named that!” he quips. from an old Odessa family and this is a very, very nice horse.” Highlight Lot 24 is named Asterix and is Asked to name the highlights of by Vercingetorix (who was famously his breeding career, Duncan doesn’t pinhooked and produced by Riverton’s hesitate long. “It was probably Groom’s Consortium) out of the having three Gold Medallion winners Grooms’ Consortium mare, in 4 years.

They are more leggy than he is. If he passes on any of his speed, which he will, we should have some early speedsters and being horses that have scope, go on to run a mile. Captain Of All’s pedigree is Captain Al out of a Fard mare, which goes back to Forty Winks and Drum Beat, so it’s all speed, but he got mares that got a mile, and I think we’ll have some milers on what I’ve seen. He’s very exciting. He’s got a big syndicate and has been well supported with over 100 mares every year. There are a lot of shareholders and they’ve all used him, so he’s had a wide variety of mares and I think we’re going to have some fun.”

SHORT HEADS

Island Hopping

After the news that veteran Weichong Marwing will be riding in Mauritius for the Gilbert Rousset yard, the latest is that Mauritius Hall Of Famer Derreck David could be set for a return to the island where he has achieved great heights in past years. The South African-born David became one of only 14 jockeys to be inducted to the Mauritius Hall Of Fame in 2015. He will be engaged by the Alain Perdrau yard. SA jockeys found themselves under ﬁre in the middle of the last Mauritius season and very few locals were expected to be brave enough to take up contracts in the new term, which starts next month.

Amateurs Commentator Alistair Cohen asked if a secrecy bill had been passed at Flamingo Park on Monday. Firstly, the reasons for the delay at the start of the second race was not communicated - and then no word was forthcoming on a late withdrawal in the same race. It is frustrating amateurism and unacceptable as this is basic process as we race 364 days a year. Obviously the NHA and Tellytrack are not talking to each other.

BIPOT BLISS Top class Richard Fourie is now on 65 winners for the season with a 17% win strikerate after he rode a hattrick at Kenilworth on Saturday, including the Bipot. The exotic has been in existence for just under 5 years and there is no history of any other jockey having achieved this feat.

Fatty @ Fairview Former Joey Ramsden trained and Mayfair Speculators-owned Gr2 Joburg Merchants winner Brutal Force has his ﬁrst run for his new owner partnership of Michael Brown, Hedley McGrath & Braam van Huyssteen at Fairview on Friday. The one-time sales record-breaker, aﬀectionately known as ‘Fatty’, ran a good fourth in the Gr1 Cape Flying Championship on Met day. He is now trained by Yvette Bremner.

While veteran retired trainer Ian Jayes simply blames schooling, the old starting stalls bugbear raised its ugly head at Turffontein on Saturday, where the trainer of the first race winner, William The Silent, called the goings on ‘wrong and offside’. Robbie Sage enjoyed a race of mixed emotions after two horses – including his own Dewali – were withdrawn at the start. “ Dewali is probably even better than the winner, but ended up standing in the stalls for five minutes. That’s wrong. It’s offside.” The Stipes made a tacit acknowledgement that the fault lay with the poor behaviour of the Candice Dawson-trained Vardo, by not punishing Dewali. But the damage to betting turnover and owner costs had already been done.

New Jockey

Inaugural Sun Met winner Whisky Baron has his ﬁrst run in Dubai on Thursday evening where he contests the Zabeel Mile. Regular jockey Greg Cheyne has been replaced by 37 year old Colm O’Donoghue, who will keep the ride for the campaign. Classic winner O’Donoghue has been a key member of the Aidan O’Brien team at Ballydoyle for many years.

VINTAGE VAR Avontuur’s top class producer, and last season’s SA Champion 2yo sire, Var is maturing like those excellent reds on his home turf and he produced an outstanding 2yo treble last Saturday. This was highlighted by a pair of very impressive debut winners in the form of the Robbie Sage-trained William The Silent and Vaughan Marshall’s Zinedine, respectively. Joey Ramsden’s Carioca completed the Var two-year-old treble when she won at her fourth start. Can Var defend his title this term?

Mystery

Mike de Kock has reported that two of of his runners bled at Meyday last Thursday evening. Suyoof and Icy Trail, both unplaced in a handicap over 1600m on turf, bled during the race. “Bleeding has been a problem for us this season, more so than in previous years, and we can’t oﬀer an explanation why. We can’t put our ﬁnger on it,” said De Kock.

More Farce Than Class The Karaka New Zealand Sale ﬁrst session ended with a female streaker in the ring. Bookmaker Rob Waterhouse tweeted his assessment of the uncatalogued lot: “An unusual and appealing lot going through the ring : an athletic, precocious type, good stride - plenty of bounce, if a shade frisky. My grandmother might dismiss as ‘lacking breeding’ and, no doubt, might be expensive to keep in work.”

Passion for Fashion

Growing up as a horsey kid in Cape Town – well, the Western Cape (I think one needed a visa to travel in and out of Malmesbury in those days), there were not too many options in terms of riding fashion. Lairds was about it (although you did have a choice between the Milnerton or the Wynberg branch). I still recall Andy McPherson personally assisting my mom in helping get me kitted out on my very first visit and I was traumatised when they closed their doors a few years ago.

Roxy got plaited (rather than plain) reins back on her feet and eventually back and pretty much everything in on a horse.

Who is Roxy? Roxy will be familiar to racing fans as the rider of one of Kenilworth’s lead horses and more recently as top class SA jockey Bernard Fayd’herbe’s gorgeous other half. However, there is far more to Roxy than just being a racing WAG. Combining her flair for style and design with her lifestyle as Bernard’s number one supporter, she has designed and created a proudly South African range of racing wear named ‘Jock’, which has recently launched to great acclaim. As it’s always fun to support our racing family, I caught up with Roxy on just how it all started. Roxy grew up around horses and rode from the age of 5. So far so run of the mill. However, her foray into fashion came via a rather unconventional route. A serious motocross accident in 2008, resulted in serious medical and surgical intervention which rendered Roxy unable to walk for two years.

Opportunity Knocks When she became Bernard’s partner, Roxy’s life and focus underwent a natural shift. Watching Bernard train and ride both at home and abroad, she realised that while the equestrian wear market was broad, there was a definite gap as far as race wear was concerned. “I noticed that there are few really good brands on the market and very few using technical fabrics, so I saw an opportunity for making something more modern with more technical designs, fabrics and colours.” With Bernard as her product tester as well as her primary client, it took about a year going back and forth, designing, testing and finishing before she hit on the right recipe, but finally, Jock Performance Race Wear was born.

Logo First, the name. “I couldn’t use ‘Jockey’, but I wanted something relating to racing, so I looked at a few options. Jono Snaith helped a lot and in the end I settled on Jock. It’s beautiful, clean and simple which helps a lot for branding purposes as the more detailed you get, the more limited you are in terms of what you can do. I’m really happy with it and so

many people – in and out of racing – have complimented me on the logo.” In addition to Bernard, Roxy gathered as much help and advice as she could in designing her range. “Greg Cheyne is a supplier for jockey wear as a side business and when I started, I approached him and he offered a lot of advice.”

Range

peak cap and wardrobe staples of cotton t-shirts in black or white, in both mens and womens sizes. “How that came about was that there are a number of big equestrian brands that are so good you can wear them as leisure wear. You get show shirts that are so beautiful you can style them with jeans. I often get comments and people don’t even realise I’m wearing sports wear. With the Jock logo and design, I thought it would make a good lifestyle brand.” As with the technical range, the designs are clean and ascetic with the emphasis on comfort and shipping is available both locally and internationally. Roxy is also fine-turning a range of track wear that will be launched in the near future.

Depending on your chosen discipline, equestrian riders (and suppliers) have cottoned on to the fact that riders come in all shapes and sizes and that there are advantages and challenges to each. Most of us have our inches a little more unevenly distributed that we might like and jockeys are no exception, so the Jock breeches come in a range of options in terms Launch of waist size and leg length and of course, standard and light weight. Roxy did a huge amount of The product she is most proud homework as well as legwork before of to date is her performance race going live, setting up her website vest, available in either short or and social media platforms as well long sleeves as well as a choice as having her range professionally of colours. “The European market photographed – with the help of a would probably use this as a base few friends.

Proudly SA In Hong Kong!

Philanthropist’s smart son Singapore Sling cemented his candidacy for next month’s BMW Hong Kong Derby with a smart win in the HK$10 million Hong Kong Classic Cup at Sha Tin on Sunday.

he victory was Chad Schofield’s biggest in Hong Kong and the rider ended a memorable Chinese New Year race day with a fourtimer that also featured the Class 1 Chinese New Year Cup Handicap (1400m) on Dundonnell. “It’s a fantastic day,” Schofield, 24, said. “To win the two feature races is a privilege. It was my birthday a couple of days ago so it was the ideal present.” Singapore Sling returned at 9/1 in a Hong Kong Classic Cup market dominated by Nothingilikemore, the only horse ahead of the South African import in last month’s Hong Kong Classic Mile. But the 1.8 jolly failed to sparkle this time, running home a disappointing fourth behind the Tony Millard-trained bay. There was nothing sub-par about Singapore Sling. Millard’s latest stable star looked a picture pre-race and delivered a performance to match. “It really surprised me, the kick The Golden Age gave – he kicked strongly and maintained the momentum he’d built up. My bloke ran a really strong race though. He felt better today than he did at the mile; he was as strong at the line

Chad Schofield sends Singapore Sling away to a comfortable victory in the Hong Kong Classic Cup as he was at any other point in the race,” Schofield said after his mount had clocked 1m 46.99s. That ranks as the second fastest Classic Cup at the current distance, just one hundredth of a second off Rapper Dragon’s 2017 time. Exultant chased determinedly under Zac Purton to put down his

Vaal Wrong Horse Clinton Binda Has His Say

Yet another case of mistaken identity has had punters and racing enthusiasts hot under the collar. With the NHA’s procedures having run their course, we chatted to Clinton Binda to find out what happened.

How matters unfolded

At the Vaal meeting on Tuesday, 6 February 2018, Clinton Binda brought three horses to the course – Whorly Whorly and Trouble Maker carded to run in race 3 and Night Shadow, carded to run in race 5. Whorly Whorly is a longstanding Binda inmate, while Trouble Maker (Captain Al – Badger’s Cove) and Night Shadow (Silvano – Saratoga Shadow) were relatively new. The two horses had arrived at the yard in late 2017 as part of a consignment of 8 horses from PE. Both horses were to race in the interests of the Hollywood Syndicate & Dreamstar Racing and were both making their debut for the yard on Tuesday, 6 February. Clinton saddled his two runners for the third race, a 1000m MR86 Handicap, which saw Whorly Whorly finishing 1.4 lengths off the winner in 5th place and Trouble Maker finishing 9.2 lengths last in the field of 10.

Where the problem surfaced

Ahead of race 5, it was discovered that the horse presented as Night Shadow was not, in fact, a 6yo Silvano gelding, but was instead found to be the 6yo Captain Al gelding named Trouble Maker that had been carded to run in the third race. Clinton’s runner for the 5th race was immediately scratched.

Objection

An objection was lodged by a member of the Central Provinces Stipendiary Board in terms of Rule 68.3.4 (that the HORSE ran in a RACE for which it was not entered), which was heard at the NHA offices at Turffontein on Friday, 9 February 2018. The Board reached the unanimous opinion that the horse named NIGHT SHADOW ran in the 3rd Race on 6 February 2018 at the Vaal Racecourse under the name TROUBLE MAKER and accordingly upheld the objection. In terms of Rule 69.6 the horse that ran as TROUBLE MAKER was disqualified from the 3rd Race on 6 February 2018 at the Vaal Racecourse and all records pertaining to TROUBLE MAKER in relation to Race 3 on this particular day are to be expunged from the official records. Following the objection, an inquiry into the incident was held at the NHA offices at Turffontein on Wednesday, 14 February 2018 where Clinton Binda was charged with a contravention of Rule 72.1.45 (no PERSON shall present a HORSE to race where the HORSE in question is not the HORSE identified in the passport and/or is not the HORSE carded for the RACE in question). The Inquiry Board entered a plea of not guilty on his behalf, then found him guilty of the charge. They imposed a penalty of a fine of R20 000.00, of which R10 000.00 is wholly suspended for a period of 1 (one) year, provided that during this period he is not convicted of a contravention of the same rule. Miss Tanya Pilgrim, the NHA Horse Identifier on duty at the Vaal Racecourse on Tuesday, 6 February, 2018, was suspended pending a disciplinary hearing.

From the horse’s mouth

Now that the matter has been

Bred by Drakenstein Stud, Singapore Sling, a R225 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 graduate, is by Philanthropist out of the three-time winning Western Winter mare, Sing Dixie Sing. settled by the NHA and all the parties dealt with, Clinton Binda has chosen to share his version of events. “There has been a lot of discussion about it and I wanted to explain from my side how it happened,” he explains. “First and foremost, I understand that it was a serious mistake, but I’d like to stress that it was a genuine mistake that required a ‘perfect storm’ of build up mistakes for the wrong horse to run on race day. Unfortunately that’s what happened. Night Shadow and Trouble Maker arrived in my yard as part of a group of 8 horses. Obviously when they arrived, we ID’d the horses, but we don’t have a scanner, so we did it off the passport ID page. The two horses look very similar and somewhere, somewhere along the line, someone got confused. There are a lot of scenarios that could have happened – it’s possible that the wrong horse arrived with the wrong sticker – but who knows. The two horses have very similar markings and we got it wrong, it’s as simple as that.” Apart from a difference in height, both horses are plain bays with a tiny white star and since their arrival, each horse has been trained as the other, with no-one ever suspecting they’d got them the wrong way round.

Perfect storm

To compound matters, there was a second muddle on race day. When the passports were handed in to the race day office, in addition to Night Shadow being presented as Trouble Maker for the third race, Night Shadow’s passport also ended up in the pile for race 3. When the runners were presented for the 3rd race, the horse identifier did a visual check against the ID page and scanned the microchip, both of which matched as she had Night Shadow’s passport in her hand. With no-one picking up the name discrepancy, Night Shadow ended up running race 3 as Trouble Maker. When the horse identifier checked the field for the 5th race and Trouble Maker’s passport was presented, the name discrepancy was found. “We then looked at the passport – the

It was a second Hong Kong Classic Cup success for Millard. The handler took the prize in 2011 with Ambitious Dragon, a horse that went on to win the Derby and subsequently proved his merit as one of Hong Kong’s all-time greats. “Ambitious Dragon was a true champion and this horse is still building up to be talked of in the same voice – he has to still do it. There was nothing wrong with his win today, though,” Millard said. “After the mile, Beverly (Millard) was of the opinion that he’d got a little bit of spring in his stride and he has come on from that. We just need to keep him like this all the way through. It was a hard fought win and I’m certainly happy that he finished off very strongly.” Schofield has no concerns about another step up in distance in the final leg of the three-race Four-YearOld Classic Series on 18 March, the BMW Hong Kong Derby. “The 2000 metres in the Derby will be no problem,” Schofield said. “He’s just on the right path, he’s getting better all the time, he’s relaxing, and mentally and physically I’m very happy with him. He’s a lovely horse to have heading into the Derby.” Schofield’s four-timer also included the Richard Gibson-trained Wishful Thinker in race 10 and the Millardtrained debutant Silver Fig in race four.

stipes and the vet – and all agreed that the markings were correct as per the ID page. We went to fetch the passport for Night Shadow and when we checked the microchips, we found out that we were looking at Trouble Maker and not Night Shadow. But the two horses are that similar that even the stipes and vet needed the scanner to tell them apart.” “I’m not blaming anyone,” says Clinton emphatically. “When a plane crashes, it’s not because of one fault, it’s usually as a result of a multitude of faults and that’s exactly what happened here. It’s uncanny that the horses look so similar, it’s unfortunate that we didn’t pick up the mistake at home and presented the wrong horse on race day and it was just unlucky that when the horse identifier scanned the horse, Tanya had the wrong passport in her hand. It’s the only way the microchip numbers could have correlated.”

diligent,” he continues, “because she was correct with the horse in the 5th race, but somehow there was a slip in the 3rd.” “As I said in the enquiry, there was nothing untoward about the whole thing. We simply mis-ID’d the horses. So what happened was not an isolated incident, but rather the result of the cumulative effect of a number of mistakes, which ultimately led to the incorrect horse being raced at the Vaal last Tuesday.”

It takes a village

“What are the chances that I would be sent two such similar looking horses?” he continues. “And what are the chances that the difference was not picked up at the yard? It was unfortunate that they were older horses. If you mis-ID a baby – and it happens often, believe me – you soon rectify it when you pass them through the pens, because horses get scanned before they go in. If these had been youngsters that had to go through the pens, we would have found it straightaway and they would never have gone to the racecourse as the wrong horses. But they didn’t. And we don’t have a scanner and unless you scanned the horses, it’s impossible to know exactly who was who.” “Then what are the chances that both those two specific horses would go to the track together on the same day and on top of that, that the passports got muddled in the race day office? Tanya checked the ID page and she checked the microchip and they both matched – it was just unfortunate she had the wrong passport in her hand. The only thing that was missed was the name. And it’s not that Tanya isn’t

Bloodstock South Africa have announced a 25% increase in their Maiden Juvenile Race Incentive on the eve of Sunday’s Cape Yearling Sale at Mistico Equestrian Centre outside of Paarl. In addition to recognizing their qualifying Graded Stakes Winners, all qualifying Bloodstock South Africa Sales graduates who win a Maiden Juvenile Race during their Two Year Old career will receive the added stakes bonus which has been increased to R50 000. The bonus, for all qualifying Maiden Juvenile Plate winners, will be paid to eligible candidates in all of South Africa’s racing jurisdictions, be it Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg, Kimberley or Port Elizabeth. This is a further incentive for prospective buyers, with the added carrot of the pinhook investment platform offered by the new Emperors Palace Breeze-Up Sale in Johannesburg on 4 November. Tick the box, win a maiden juvenile plate and the R50 000 bonus is yours! The sale starts at 13h00 on Sunday. Read more on page 15.

Enquiry

In terms of the enquiry and the penalty meted out, Clinton explains that the NHA combined two charges into one. “The first charge was for presenting the wrong horse, which I am guilty of and I said I’m guilty, and the second charge was racing the wrong horse. I said I’m not guilty of that, the NHA is guilty of that. If they had checked correctly, they would have picked up the issue and the wrong horse would not have run, but they allowed the incorrect horse to run. That’s the ‘uncertainty’ that’s referred to in the press release. But I was not uncertain, I just said that I am guilty of presenting the wrong horse, but not of running the wrong horse. But they wouldn’t make it two separate charges,” he explains. Clinton has taken the result and the fine on the chin and says he holds no malice towards the horse identifier. “Miss Pilgrim has been doing ID’s and checking passports ever since I’ve had my trainers’ license and I’ve never ever had a problem with her work. She’s always been diligent with everything she does. But I suppose if you do something so many thousand times, there’s a good chance you’ll make a mistake at some point and unfortunately a mistake was made. Unfortunately she made a mistake when I’d already made a mistake and then the race day office also made a mistake, which resulted in the wrong horse running. But there was no malice intended and it was an honest mistake.”

Buyers ruled the roost at the 2017 Cape Yearling Sale where the average price of 2016 was more than halved.

Surcharge – exciting classic prospect

The bottom line is that history proves that this regional sale remains one of South Africa’s best value for money markets and the honour roll of winners is a tribute to the outstanding quality produced by our resilient breeders in tough times. The 2017 average was R60 545 while the median was R40 000. In 2016 the average was R134 200 and the median R90 000. But those numbers hardly tie up with the big names to come out of the sale!

The class of 2018 is packed with some diverse youngsters from many of the country’s top farms.

Well performed sires with first South African crop yearlings on offer include Captain Of All, Flower Alley, Soft Falling Rain, Time Thief, Vercingetorix and Wylie Hall. If you are buying to win the Met or the Queen’s Plate, you find yourself in the right place. But the announcement of the Emperors Place Breeze-Up Sale for Johannesburg on 4th November also opens up wider options - what about a potential pinhook opportunity? “I have inspected a large majority of the lots on offer and there are some outstanding specimens from proven breeders who have the track record of producing winners. I would not hesitate to recommend a pin-hook into the Emperors Palace Breeze-Up Sale in November,” said Jehan Malherbe, the internationally proven senior statesman of South African Bloodstock Consultants.

Try It… Buy Low, Sell High! Pinhooking is an old Kentucky tobacco term. A speculator would buy a farmer’s young plants and later identify them with a pinned note at market. Buying the plants low and selling high would return substantial profit for the speculators. In terms of thoroughbred auctions, pinhooking describes the practice of buying yearlings, overseeing their breaking-in and training, and eventually re-selling them as race-ready two-year-olds in training.
