SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 11th - SUNDAY 13th MARCH 2016 Classy Christmas Handicap winner It Is Written runs well fresh

Gr3 KINGS CUP at Greyville on Friday

T

The R250 000 Gr3 Kings Cup is run for the first time on the Greyville polytrack on Friday with a mixed bunch of eleven facing the starter. As a handicap, the race is wide open and looks a tough one to unravel – with chances to more than a handful.

he Kings Cup’s traditional home has been Greyville but it was run at Clairwood in 2013 and 2014, and this time round switches surfaces.

That won’t be thrilling news for the purists but with the development and acceptance of the polytrack, it pays to acknowledge the surface with some quality races and this contest fits the bill.

Evergreen

Ironically the horse topping the weights is the evergreen 8yo Uncle Tommy – a gelding who has won on every conceivable track from Kenilworth turf, to the sand at Flamingo Park and the Vaal, and even on Friday evening’s stage.

Uncle Tommy was a touch unlucky last time to go down narrowly carrying a welter impost of 62,5kgs to the capable younger Diamond King and will strip fit here.

He carried topweight again when 5 lengths by It Is Written in the Christmas Handicap, but he is lengths better on this.

Gavin Van Zyl’s saddles another seasoned Kahal gelding iin the 6yo No Worries who tries the poly for the first time.

No Worries has paced it with the best in his time but has not won since October 2014 and is largely off form.

He did run on steadily at his last start when fifth and only 2,60 lengths off the progressive Ten Gun Salute.

If he takes to the platform, he cannot be dismissed.

His stablemate Silver Spring finished 2,35 lengths ahead there with a surprise second but is 2kgs worse off and No Worries could turn the tables on him.

Top Lady

The Dynasty filly Olma has won her last two on the bounce against her own sex and now mixes iit with the boys.

A filly who has shown touches of class, she is effective on the polytrack and cannot be discounted.

Charles Laird’s Jay Peg 3yo Exit Here has some weight to carry against older horses and won five in a row before not being disgraced with his fifth placed finish behind 3,05 lengths behind Illuminator in the CTS Million Dollar.

On best form, he must go

close if not very well in. Anton Marcus rides the second of the Laird runners in the very consistent Dynasty gelding, Stormy Eclipse.

The multiple course and distance winning 4yo never runs a bad race and enjoys to run at them late off a fast pace. Well drawn at 2, he has plenty in his favour and could revert to winning ways again.

Consistent

Garth Puller’s Way Of Light is another consistent galloper who has won 5 of 13 starts and enjoyed course and distance success.

He finished in front of Storm Eclipse last time and is 1,5kgs better off with the Laird charge. That should keep him in front of Stormy Eclipse again but he has a wide draw to beat.

Dean Kannemeyer’s KZN Sattelite base has been in devastating form and they saddle the recent Gr3 Christmas Handicap winner It Is Written who comes back from a ten week break.

The son of Dynasty is a

course and distance winner and runs well fresh.

While poorly drawn at 11, he is capable and classy and could compete for place money.

Another Girl

In Other Words is one of only 2 fillies in the race and is unbeaten in five starts on the surface. She now faces the boys as she steps out of her own sex class and will find this tougher.

She is obviously at her very best on poly and fluffed her lines when beaten 5,15 lengths by Olma in the Gr3 Flamboyant Stakes at her penultimate start.

On better ground and with a 3,5kg weight turnaround in her favour, In Other Words could have the edge on the Frank Robinson runner.

Dry Spell

The 7yo Marchant has his first outing on the polytrack and has not won a race in close on two years.

That said, the son of Dynasty is pretty consistent

What a week! - 5 winners, 4 places incl feature performers: Exquisite Touch – 1st Ruffian Stakes (L) • Easy Game – 1st Bauhinia H’cap (L) Rivarine – 2nd Storm Bird Stakes (L) • Isca – 3rd Gold Rush Sprint

and has reasonable proximity to some very decent sorts of the likes of feature winners Heartland and Light The Lights at his last few outings.

He may need a run or two to settle into his new base routine and others are preferred.

Mumsy’s Jet is a consistent course and distance performer who comes in fit after a gutsy course and distance win on 2 March.

The son of Western Winter has won 5 times from 25 starts after a slow start to his career – he only won his first race after 13 starts but has matured nicely and must have a shout off a galloping 52kgs from a decent draw.

A case can be made for many but we are siding with consistency and suggesting that Stormy Eclipse and Way Of Light may be equal to the task – with chances to the promising 3yo Exit Here and the in-form Kannemeyer runner It Is Written.

But the race doesn’t end there, so go wide in the exotics if the budget permits.

SPORTING POST • FriDAY 11th - SUNDAY 13th MArCH 2016 Sprint champ Vauclair looks a fair bet at the weights

The Silvano filly Nyangan has been impressive so far

BREEDERS GUINEAS (Listed) at Fairview on Friday

I

Dean Kannemeyer has harvested rich pickings away from his Cape home base in KZN and the top trainer makes a rare visit to the Eastern Cape on Friday where he saddles stallion Noordhoek Flyer’s half-sister Nyangan in the R150 000 Listed Breeders Guineas at Fairview.

t doesn’t get too much better bred than the smart daughter of Silvano, who has won her last two starts with ease up in KZN and Kannemeyer explained the strategy behind the move to consider the raid on the PE stakes feature.

Measure

“Nyangan has been in PE over a week and she has settled well after travelling well. This race came up and being the well bred filly that she is, the owners Mauritzfontein felt it would be worthwhile taking our chances. I believe I have placed her well so her rating is a fairly modest 85 – and we will find out how good she is,” he said. Has she seen the track?

“Look, I have had so many horses run well first time up

at Greyville after racing in the Cape. I am not so sure that strange surroundings stop good horses – they tend to handle it and she has shown her professionalism already on the right handed turn,” he added.

Regular pilot and top jockey Anthony Delpech was very positive when getting off Nyangan after her last win – ‘she is very smart’ I feel, he said.

Snaith Duo

Kannemeyer’s Cape colleague Justin Snaith saddles the top two highest rated fillies in the race with Time To Dream the standout on paper with her MR of 95.

The daughter of Dynasty was unplaced in the Cape Fillies Guineas and the CTS Million Dollar after winning three on the trot.

She has her first run in PE. Stablemate Cup Cake is a seasoned local and goes for her fourth win on the trot.

She won the Breeders Guineas Plate in fine style last time – but tries a mile for the first time and S’manga Khumalo has opted to ride the stablemate.

Bass In Town

Mike Bass is another visitor and he saddles the outstanding Gr1 winning Inara’s full sister Inanna.

She won an MR 91 handicap last time and while she has some way to go to reach her sister’s heights, she looks low-key progressive at this stage.

The top four look likely to fight over the quartet spoils, with the rest rated 80 and below and looking to be making up numbers.

EAST CAPE SPRINT CUP (Listed ((Listed) Listed)) at Fairview on Friday

M

The R150 000 Listed East Cape Sprint Cup has attracted only seven speedsters at level weights over the Fairview 1200m turf track on Friday.

Tara Laing looks to hold a very decent hand with three quality runners.

s Laing has done extremely well to keep the speed kings on song over an extended period and Vauclair and Unannounced look set to fight this one out.

Vauclair won this race in 2014 and the son of Var has never been better at the advanced age of 6.

That is demonstrated by the fact that he has won five of his last nine starts and is the epitome of a course-and-distance specialist.

Stable jockey Raymond Danielson would have had the choice of rides and this must be the stable elect.

The 7yo Aussie-bred Unannounced comes off a 17 week break after a rare blot on his copybook when 6,90 lengths off Al Don Cumarco last time.

He loves the course and distance and is sure to give Vauclair a fright and run for his money.

Wide Out The West Is Wide was beaten 4,50 lengths by stablemate Vauclair over the distance and course at his last outing and that is likely to be the margin again.

The West Is Wide is very fast, but tends to run short of fuel late. He did beat Unannounced a quarter length over the track and trip in April last year in receipt of a kilo, but is unlikely to repeat that.

Yvette Bremner’s Gr1 winner Copper Parade owes his connections absolutely nothing and was cramped and bumped before going down just 2,45 lengths to

Gulf Storm in the Cape Flying Championship at his last start. He ran second to stablemate Sir Duke in this even last year.

Those out-of-province raiding trips are obviously becoming tougher at his age but he is always a factor at home and there is probably a length between him and Vauclair at his best.

Pacy Snaith Justin Snaith’s Villa Del Largo is a pacy son of Jallad and won a really good race beating the top campaigner Distinguished on the poly last time.

He is held by Vauclair on his penultimate start at these weights, but cannot be underestimated in the hands of S’manga Khumalo in this small field.

Hekkie Strydom will be looking to his 7yo warrior Russian Mig hopefully giving him a belated birthday present.

That said, the twelve-time winning son of Qui Danzig has not been at his best of late and may lack the toe and general enthusiasm to take on this lot over the 1200m.

Visitor Mike Bass’ Equity Kicker looked promising early on but the son ofn Trippi has not carried the hype through to anything convincing of late.

He has run to a lifetime high of 90 but has been battling to assert himself and down at an 85, he should battle against the seasoned local quick gang at these weight terms.

Vauclair has to be the choice and he should notch up his 14th career victory.

The R150 000 Listed Drum Star Handicap is the lowkey feature on the Turffontein Saturday programme where recent eyecatching form is not exactly an abundant commodity in the eleven strong field.

he 1800m event headlines the nine race programme on the inside track and presents something of a respite after a hectic few weeks of race action.

The topweighted 2014 Gr2 Charity Mile winner Judicial may have at last found another race he could win after being quiet since July 2015.

The son of Miesque’s Approval loves the 1800m and finished 1,50 lengths in front of French Navy in that hotly debated Pinnacle Stakes flop last time.

The Tyrone Zackey galloper can run with the best when on song and is surely worth serious consideration.

Love Lost Mike Azzie’s former KZN runner Easy Lover has struggled to assert himself since flying up late for second in the Gr2 Victory Moon Stakes three runs back.

The son of Right Approach enjoys running at them late off a hot pace and he has to be better

than his recent form. Diesel Jet ran just behind Judicial in the French Navy blowout at his last start and is a half kilo better off with the topweight.

He ran a cracking second to Zambezi River over shorter at his penultimate start and on best earlier form must have a chance to be in the money.

Woody’s Two Geoff Woodruff’s 4yo pair of Shea Devon and Master Switch are both capable of improving further.

Shea Devon won two good races when running handily but failed to kick when unplaced and ridden from midfield last time.

Master Switch came good with a 4,50 length win over Shimmering Brook in an MR 85 Handicap over 200m further last time and is another capable of putting a winning effort together.

Romany Prince has drawn best of all and gets the services of Anthony Delpech.

He may have been outclassed in the Gr3 Tony Ruffel and the Gr2 Gauteng Guineas but will be more

competitive in this handicap company.

Both of the son of Kahal’s two wins were achieved in good style and he is better than his form looks.

Outsiders Earl Of Derby returns from a ten week break after losing his form. He may need it.

Run For Revelry was scratched with Steward’s permission from her engagement on Tuesday, while Dante’s Legacy and Stavinsky cannot be fancied on current form.

The former Paul Lafferty trained Stronghold gelding Double Clutch is now with new conditioner Dirk Devos and appears to have lost his form.

He cannot be fancied on what he has shown recently.

The race is wide open, but Judicial enjoys the 1800m and looks set to carry his weight and show that he has the heart and ability.

Romany Prince may be best of the rest, while Master Switch won well last time.

Newhaven Park, one of Australia’s leading thoroughbred nurseries, requires the services of a general hand for its Boorowa, NSW, property.

The position requires the successful applicant to have experience in general farm maintenance, pumps and mechanical knowledge.

We are looking for someone who is responsible, energetic, self-motivating and has a positive attitude.

Tarry Tests Myth STORM BIRD STAKES (Listed)

RUFFIAN STAKES (Listed)

at Turffontein last Saturday

at Turffontein last Saturday

T

A shrewd gamble by SA champion trainer Sean Tarry to test the merits of a promising unraced 2yo paid dividends at Turffontein on Saturday when the big Trippi colt Flying Myth slammed his six opponents to win the R150 000 Listed Storm Bird Stakes.

hrowing unraced horses into features is not generally done by trainers in this country, but Mike de Kock and Sean Tarry have both had the bombs to do it from time to time.

On Saturday we witnessed a cracking winning debut by Flying Myth, a son of a very decent mare who Sean Tarry trained to five wins.

And the big fellow was allowed to start at 5-2 in the face of support for the experienced and beautifully bred Rivarine, who went off an 11-10 favourite.

Entering the final 300m, in a matter of strides Flying Myth showed genuine ability and courage and had taken control of the race. He went on to beat Rivarine by 0,30

lengths in a time of 56,43 secs.

The winner received 3kgs from Rivarine and Sean Tarry was typically hesitant about spewing forth superlatives.

“I must say he was an absolute athlete at the sale.

He is a big horse and he ran green here, so it was a good win. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves – what did we beat? We don’t know that yet.

He will do the talking on the track,” he said.

An R800 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 graduate, the Klawervlei bred Flying Myth is a son of Trippi out of the five time winning speedster Mana Mou (by Captain Al), who, as said earlier, was also trained by Sean Tarry.

He is now one from one and banked a first cheque of R93 750.

O

Trainer Sean Tarry and jockey S’manga Khumalo were unstoppable at Turffontein on Saturday and the powerful combination sealed the juvenile double feature when the Var filly Exquisite Touch ran out an easy winner in the R150 000 Listed Ruffian Stakes.

nly seven runners lined up in the fillies’ feature and after Hamunaptra ruined her chances at the start, Exquisite Touch won rather more easily than the 1,30 lengths winning margin suuggested.

The speed was on from the jump with Fursa showing plenty of toe but the winner was always going well and she moved through them like a professional to hold off the attentions of Seattle Singer.

Interestingly, the winner’s time of 56,36 secs was faster than the mostly males’ equivalent.

Corne Spies trained Seattle Singer ran a very forward race to secure second – she won’t be in the maiden ranks for too long.

Scottsville 800m debut winner Intriguing Lady appeared slightly outpaced early on, but she found her stride late in the race and ran on well a further 2,109 lengths back to shade Star Burst Galaxy. Trainer Sean Tarry said that ExquisiteTouch was the standout at the sale – ‘we were very lucky to get her at the price’, he quipped.

The Waterford Stud bred Exquisite Touch is a daughter of Var out of the four-time winning Elliodor mare, Lavendar Sky. She is a R350 000 2015 Emperors Palace Select Yearling Sale graduate and took her tally to two from two with her stakes now on R156 250.

SUN CHARIOT HANDICAP

EGOLI MILE

An Easy Game BAUHINIA HANDICAP (Listed) at Turffontein last Saturday Trainer Mike Azzie and jockey Karl Zechner maintained their feature winning streak at Turffontein on Saturday as the Var mare Easy Game ran on best to secure her first stakes win and clinch what proved to be a wide open R150 000 Listed Bauhinia Handicap.

A

zzie and Zechner are no doubt still on a high after Abashiri’s sensational SA Triple Crown opening leg win in the Gauteng Guineas.

But Saturday was a whole new day, with fresh challenges and the veteran trainer would have been pleased to secure the Azzie exacta – which paid a rather hefty R345 on the tote!

Easy Game has not had things easy after a flying start to her career and knee problems have meant that she has been lightly raced – as evidenced by her only having her fourteenth start here.

But joint owners Taso Christoforou, and Mike and Sharon Azzie, have been the epitome of patience and time has rewarded them, particularly after this black type strike, with what should prove to be a valuable broodmare.

Ironically it was the Van Vuurens who took a back seat and provided the lead for Easy Game’s win as their speedy Querari filly Spring Wonder went fast early, and gave her stablemate the cover. At the 250m marker Zechner gave Easy Game her head and she drew off well to win by 2,20 lengths in a time of 55,69 secs. Callan Murray changed whip hands late on Spring Wonder and she stayed on gamely for second to thwart the late run of race favourite, Lumya.

Jockey Karl Zechner suggested afterwards that Easy Game may have needed her last two runs – but she nevertheless went off a generous 25-1. The 5yo Wilgerbosdrift bred Easy Game is a daughter of Var out of the Australian-bred Desert King mare, She’s Game – a half sister to the granddam of Merlene de Lago.

Easy Game has won 5 from 14 starts with 5 places – and took her stakes earnings to R364 725.

GOLD RUSH SPRINT

Eye On Last Gasp Gold For Val The Oaks at Turffontein last Saturday

T

The classy Geoff Woodrufftrained Captain Al gelding Val Et Al came back to something of his early promise at Turffontein on Saturday with a facile victory in the R125 000 Egoli Mile.

he Avontuur bred Val Et Al had shown signs of being a fellow with a future when winning his first two starts on the bounce. But after losing his way in midstream, gelding seems to have done the trick for an athlete obviously loaded with ability.

Saturday’s showing, albeit in a low-key non black-type feature, was a sign that Val Et Al is on his way to delivering on his promise and the manner in which he disposed of the highly thought of Irish Pride suggested there is plenty in the tank. At the 400m, Chase Maujean asked the Woodruff charge for his effort and he lengthened his stride and drew off to win unextended by 3,25 lengths in a time of 95,49 secs.

Kangaroo Jack ran past a tiring Irish Pride late in the race to snare second position, with Count Tassilo a well beaten fourth.

Chase Maujean said that Val Et Al’s last run in the Listed Sea Cottage Stakes ‘wasn’t his run’ –“ he really needed it,” he observed.

Trainer Geoff Woodruff confirmed that Val Et Al had lost his way after making a good start to his career. “He came through his gelding well and is a classy horse with serious prospects,” he said.

The Avontuur bred Val Et Al has won 3 races with 1 place from 6 starts for stakes of R189 375.

A R700 000 Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 1 graduate, he is a 3yo gelded son of Captain Al out of the one-time winning Var mare, Valeta.

T

The Jay Peg filly Peggy Jay put her hand up as a likely Oaks prospect with a smooth victory in Saturday’s R125 000 Sun Chariot Handicap.

he disappointing field of five produced an exciting finish and any concerns about a ‘Cape crawl’ were soon allayed as Ryan Munger took Susquehanna out to grab a five length lead.

S’manga Khumalo had Peggy Jay loping along in the four-horse pack following the leader.

As they turned for home, a bizarre shuffling of positions saw Peggy Jay relegated from a beautiful box seat to last of the lot.

But S’manga was wide awake and he switched his mount to the outside as they went for home, with Susquehanna starting to run on empty.

With four abreast at the 400m, it was anybody’s race – but Peggy Jay was in a galloping mood and she stayed on best to beat Zafira by a half length in a time of 155,17 secs.

Patchit Up Baby ran another honest race to grab third ahead of Zrinski.

Peggy Jay has done nothing wrong since shedding her maiden in November and made it 3 wins from her last 5 starts.

The Lucky Houdalakis trained Peggy Jay has now won 3 races with 5 places from 13 starts. She took her stake earnings to R254 550.

She was bred by David Southey and is by Jay Peg out of the 2000 Gr1 Gold Cup winner, Colonial Girl- a seven time winner

by Stage Colony.

S

A terrific comeback from a hopeless position 200m from home gave Sean Tarry’s promising Western Winter 3yo Buckland an unlikely victory in Saturday’s R150 000 Gold Rush Sprint run over 1100m at Turffontein.

’manga Khumalo was seen at his brilliant best as he registered his fifth winner of the afternoon and had trainer Sean Tarry confirming that he was happy to have the top jockey on his team.

Buckland was pencilled into the little black book some time back as a horse with massive potential.

But things have not always gone his way for one reason and another and there is little doubt that the 1100m of Saturday’s race is at the absolute minimum end of his comfort zone.

He took forever to get going and was hailed a beaten horse by commentator Alistair Cohen at the 300m.

But with Pure Blonde running freely out front, a determined Khumalo got Buckland into gear and he rallied powerfully.

Racing in the familiar red and white of the Rattrays, Buckland got the verdict by a whisker to add to jockey Callan Murray’s frustrating day of seconds and deny Pure Blonde a win that looked done and dusted at the 100m marker.

The 14-10 winner clocked a time of 62,43 secs. The 3yo Buckland has won 3 races from 8 starts with 4 places for stakes of R 264 775.

The Lammerskraal bred Buckland is a son of the illfated champion Western Winter out of the three-time winning Fort Wood mare, Inupiat.

COASTAL PHOTOS

Memphis Mafia and JP van der Merwe maintain their winning streak

IBHAYI STAKES (Listed) at Fairview last Friday

I

Dorrie Sham’s star galloper Memphis Mafia has established something of a pop star following down Port Elizabeth way and the roar from the locals as he hit the front to win the first leg of the local Triple Crown at Fairview on Friday sent a shiver down the spine.

was ecstatic when he won his maiden and what has happened since is just a dream,” said an over the moon breeder-trainer-owner Dorrie Sham after her ‘baby’ had trounced his opponents to win the R150 000 Listed Ibhayi Stakes run over the turf 1400m.

Memphis Mafia attracts more attention in PE than Steve Hofmeyr could ever hope to and his reliability in the face of adversity has made him a hit with punters and ordinary racing fans.

Regular pilot JP van der

Merwe has done little wrong since winning the Met and made another smart call when he sent Memphis Mafia early in the straight past leader Paulus, with the tailwind in the back of his mind.

The result was never in doubt as Memphis Mafia stormed clear to beat Fly Like The Wind by 1,25 lengths in a time of 83,65 secs.

Welsh Emperor improved again but was his own worst enemy as he ran green, but secured third a further length back.

Cape challenger and even money favourite Fifty Cents had no kick late and had to be

content with a modest fourth spot.

“He just doesn’t know how to run a bad race and he has now posted four feature wins.

They said he had it all to do at the weights today but he gave up to 5kgs away and he won so well. They will have to meet him at level weights in the Guineas – so that is quite exciting!” quipped winning trainer Dorrie Sham.

We asked her what the immediate plans were for the 3yo gelded son of Lecture.

“Everybody is asking that. It really makes sense to stay at home and go for the Sophomore Challenge rather

than the KZN Champions Season.”

But will the Sham soldier stay the 2400m of the third leg East Cape Derby?

“I really can’t say if Memphis Mafia will stay!

His full brother Bob ‘N Weave held the Fairview 1000m course record, so that tells us how versatile the family is, on top of it being a sobering thought on the stamina test.

But it is a nice problem to have. If we won the Guineas we’d probably have to have a dip at the Derby,” she said with a happy ring in her voice.

The obvious curved ball was thrown into Dorrie’s court – we asked whether there have been any big money offers for Memphis Mafia – and would they consider any serious bid?

“He really is our baby and it would have to be a serious

sort of offer. But if he never wins another race, he owes us nothing and it just goes to show what one can do with relatively unfashionable breeding.”

Bred by Dorrie, Memphis Mafia is a son of Lecture out of the four-time winning Special Preview mare, Olympic Special.

He has earned a gross R389 500 and has won 5 races from 1400m to 1600m, with 7 places from his 14 starts.

He has a nephew on the forthcoming CTS March Yearling Sale – and lot 178 in the Hemel ‘N Aarde draft will attract some attention in view of the exploits of his smart relative.

He is an Antonius Pius colt out of the Eyeofthetiger mare, Kiss From A Rose, a half-sister to Memphis Mafia.

She was a winner at 2 and was raced by the Shams before being passed on to David Hepburn-Brown.

The Listed Ibhayi Stakes was the opening leg of the R900 000 Eastern Cape Sophomore Challenge Diarise the dates of the next two legs and follow Memphis Mafia’s progress – just how good is this fellow?

The sky seems to be the limit for the gelding that was catchily named by Sham assistant Rocky Agrella – and we look forward to April Fool’s Day and the R150 000 Listed East Cape Guineas run over a mile.

Then we will start worrying about the next hurdle – the R350 000 Gr3 East Cape Derby run over 2400m on Sunday 15 May. Makes for interesting racing!

CTS Million Dollar Fairytale

H

The closing chapter of the inaugural CTS Million Dollar fairytale was written last week with the news that winning apprentice Heavelon van der Hoven will be paid a more than fair and equitable commission on the enormous first stake cheque earned by the Trippi colt, Illuminator, on that glorious Cape summer’s day in January.

orseracing is not unlike many other sporting codes and much in the play of soccer, cricket and athletics, we just seem to shoot ourselves in the foot every now and again.

We had a case just last week.

Trainer Brett Webber was fined a nett R2500 for failing to provide a reasonable level of care to the horses under his control. He apparently didn’t use sufficient bedding for a few days on inspection in early February.

That is fodder for the animal rights activists – and anybody who has ever loved a horse and the sport of kings.

So it was a PR victory of some note and welcome positive news to be informed that justice was served in the Heavelon van der Hoven riding commission saga, which had a happy outcome – thanks to good people.

Heavelon van der Hoven In terms of the ‘old policy’, the 23 year old would have been remunerated as follows: • Apprentice rider’s 7% of net 1st stake – R503k split as follows: • Academy 66,67% – R335k • Heavy’s 33,34% – R168k

The Board of Directors of the South African Jockey Academy however resolved to vary its policy in respect

of apportioning apprentice earnings arising from restricted sales races where the stake of such races is higher than the advertised stake of the country’s richest Grade 1 event – that currently being the R4-million President’s Champions Challenge.

“The CTS Million Dollar race is clearly an extraordinary event on the South African racing calendar and the Board unanimously agreed to recognise this,” said SAJA Chairman Avison Carlisle.

Heavelon’s SAJA account will now be credited with R387k, calculated as follows.

• Gross stake of richest race – R4million • Gross 1st stake 62.5% – R2,5 million • Apprentice rider’s 7% of net 1st stake – R175,000 • Academy 66,67% of R175k – R116k • Heavy’s % – R387k (R503k – 116k)

What A Rocket!

E

The $350 000 Merlion Trophy run this past Sunday was the first leg of the sprint series. A star studded field lined up with a few notable exceptions, writes Gareth Pepper.

l Padrino had won the last two runnings and both he and Kiwi Karma were looking to do well after connections were told during the week that their hopes of travelling to Dubai are off!

Showing his customary lack of pace, El Padrino was near the rear, but just off of the pace Kiwi Karma and Spalato were pacing it out together.

With 700m to go Corey Brown let Spalato run and the response was immediate. He cruised up, accelerated away from the field and it was as simple as that.

Corey Brown

Just on his pilot Corey Brown, we wish him well as he heads to Australia this weekend to partner the exciting Ghisoni for Godolphin in Sydney.

She looks really talented and by all reports she could be a star in the making.

The best of the rest was El Padrino who ran a gallant second.

I was lucky enough to interview owner Graham Mackie after the race and as per usual he was a gentleman to talk to, praising his champion galloper and all who were behind his victory.

One thing I found refreshing was that he was quick to mention that they would not be targeting the 2nd leg of the sprint series, but

that the Lion City Cup on April the 24th for $800 000 was his immediate target. We see the return of Zac Spirit and Emperor Max in the Kranji Sprint and what a race the lion City could be.

Rocket Man

With the Lion City in mind, I saw something I never thought I would see again at the Turf Club. The champion Rocket Man trialled on Tuesday morning.

I must admit I did not sleep very well the night before as all I did was watch his replays and past runs and I have been privileged enough to witness the Star win in Dubai and Singapore.

The media contingent based here at the club were out in full force and it was a pleasure to see him in the back parade ring prior to the trial. In the trial itself, he showed pace, moved up in the straight but ran out of a bit of steam in the final stages.

I spoke to Barend Vorster after the trial and he was quick to mention that nothing is set in stone and that it was a trial being used to see where the 10 year old is.

Whether he races again or not, just seeing him again in the flesh has been one of the highlights of my tenure here at the Turf Club and if he does race, I will be sure to shout him home!

Till next time.

Graeme Hawkins In essence Heavy has received R219k more than he was going to receive from the Academy initially and they conversely will be receiving R219k less Apprentices are paid out on qualification as a fully fledged jockey.

Given the defence of their original takeout, where it was argued that the Academy would not be viable as a learning institution were it not for its funding structure and that the racing industry would instead have to revert to the old system of apprentices being indentured to trainers, the decision by the board was a turnaround of some note.

And, giving credit where it is due, a victory in fair play – for once, at least.

Let’s face it – the CTS Million Dollar was never part of the national stakes pot and to suggest that any winning apprentice rider commission would ever have fallen into the SAJA pot is disingenuous and a longshot.

In betting terms, what price would anybody have offered on an apprentice rider actually being engaged to ride in the lifechanging race – never mind winning it as ‘Heavy’ did is such amazing style?

The Sporting Post has learnt that as part of the plan to find a fair solution, an idea was mooted to structure a bursary for less privileged SAJA students in Van Der Hoven’s name as part of the initial negotiations and to provide a lasting legacy that we could all be justly proud of. The race sponsor Cape Thoroughbred Sales, WPRRA Director Robert Bloomberg as well as Gold Circle Directors Graeme Hawkins and Tony Rivalland were staunch campaigners for a better deal for the young apprentice and must take much of the credit for the favourable outcome and for ensuring that nobody could hide behind policy – or red tape.

CTS Managing Director Adrian Todd said that he was thrilled that the matter had been resolved and that fairness had prevailed.

He added that Cape Thoroughbred Sales had always supported the idea of the increased payout for the young apprentice jockey.

“Horseracing does not operate on one leg only and it is important that every sector comes out a winner.

That was always the intention when we broke new ground with this extraordinary incentive for a new owner to acquire a lifechanging dream. In am very happy that flexibility has been shown by all stakeholders and that we could rewrite the rules, as it were. Congratulations again to all involved with Illuminator’s win. Now that final door has closed on the 2016 race, we are excitedly looking forward to 2017,” he said.

Van der Hoven was quietly thrilled when we spoke to him this week.

“I know it took some effort

on the part of good people to secure this payout for me and I am thankful and very grateful for it. I have been overwhelmed by kindness – I really have. I hope to qualify with my 50 winners in August and will then make a few decisions.”

It is a little known fact that Heavelon took himself off to Australia at his own expense when he was suspended for contravening curfew rules of the Academy in PE some time back.

Adrian Todd “I couldn’t lie around and had to keep in shape and fit while serving my suspension.

My Mom managed to secure me a work riding job in Melbourne. I loved it – the racing, the lifestyle and the people were great. I have a few overseas options but I am taking things one day at a time,” he added.

Does he have plans for marriage and suburban moves like buying a house, to spend the boodle?

“No, marriage not. I am too young! Let me qualify first. It is too much money to sit around and think about. I have many races to win still,” he laughed.

Ten Winners In Three Days

Six Of The Best For Bling S’manga ‘Bling’ Khumalo was in a rich vein of form booting home six winners on Turffontein’s nine- race card on Saturday.

Five of his wins were for the Sean Tarry yard – it was his second career six-timer having achieved the feat in Kimberley previously.

S’MANGA’S big day got off to a winning start in the first, when he piloted Mrs Auby’s 3yo Toreador filly, Never Give In, home by 2 lengths in the 1000m maiden plate for the Sean Tarry yard.

In the third race he steered the Jay Peg filly, Peggy Jay to a gutsy win in the non-black type Sun Chariot Handicap over 2450m.

S’manga finished 5.75 lengths 4th aboard Count Tassilo in the 4th, before getting back into the winner’s enclosure in the 5th race, the 1000m Listed Storm Bird Stakes.

He produced a flying finish aboard Chris van Niekerk’s 2yo

Trippi colt, Flying Myth, to grab the honours by half a length from race favourite, Rivarine.

In the second of the day’s baby features, the Ruffian Stakes, S’manga put in a polished performance aboard Sean Tarry-trained race favourite Exquisite Touch.

He then finished just out of the placings in the Listed Bauhinia Handicap, before rounding off the afternoon with a winning double.

He rode a cracker on Buckland in the 1100m NonBlack Type Gold Rush Sprint aboard race favourite Buckland, a 3yo Western Winter colt who campaigns in the red and white

silks of Michael and Norma Rattray for the Sean Tarry yard, before rounding off the afternoon with a 1.5 length flourish on Intergalactic in the 1600m FM 76 Handicap, also for Sean Tarry and his patron Chris van Niekerk.

The winning roll could not be better timing for the 2014 SA Champion jockey, who holds a narrow lead over Anthony Delpech on the national jockey log.

His 6 wins come on top of two winners at the Vaal on Thursday, 3 March and another double at Fairview on Friday, 4 March 2016. That’s ten winners in three days!

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 11th - SUNDAY 13th MARCH 2016

Cheltenham Talking Point

Importance of horseracing to Britain is highlighted In an announcement described as “truly historic” by the British Horseracing Authority’s Chief Executive Nick Rust, British racing will receive a new funding system from next April after the government confirmed its intention to replace the current Horserace Betting Levy.

U

nder the new model, racing will benefit by being able to recoup charges from bookmaking firms for all bets on the sport, thus closing the loophole which currently exists for operators based offshore and for remote betting through online devices, which accounts for almost 50% of bets placed on horseracing.

“Today’s announcement is one that should prove truly historic,” said Rust.

“The new funding model will ensure a fair transfer of funding to British racing based on all betting activity on the sport–a link that was first established in law in 1961. It meets all of racing’s requirements for a new funding model and can bear fruit in 2017, which is crucial given the significant Levy cliff we face.”

The BHA has indicated it will continue with its Authorised Betting Partner scheme in the short term until the new funding mechanism is in place and is set to announce that another major firm has signed up to the scheme in addition to Betfair, Bet365, 32Red and recent signing BetVictor.

Rust continued, “In the longer term, this means greater financial security for the sport, a platform for growth, a huge boost to our participants and more certainty for the tens of thousands of people who rely on racing for their livelihoods.

“We look forward to working with government on the details of these proposals and to make sure

the implementation timetable they have announced today is achieved.”

The Conservative MP Chris Green, whose Bolton West constituency includes Aintree and Haydock racecourses, lodged a question during Thursday morning’s parliamentary session asking when offshore bookmakers would be required to make a financial contribution to British racing.

The horseracing and breeding industry in the UK is estimated to have an annual economic impact of £3.5 billion with around 85,000 people earning their living from the sport.

John Whittingdale MP, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport responded, “My honourable friend is absolutely right to draw attention to the importance of horseracing to this country. I can tell him that our aim is to introduce a new funding arrangement for British Racing by April 2017.”

He added, “We will create a level playing field for British-based and offshore gambling operators and ensure a fair return from all bookmakers to racing, including those based offshore. Racing will be responsible for making decisions on spending the new fund and we will be making further announcements shortly.”

The new legislation will be subject to state aid approval but the BHA has signaled its confidence in gaining this, citing the European Commission’s approval for a French levy on online betting which was granted in 2013.

Cabinet Office Minister Matthew Hancock, who has the key racing

town of Newmarket within his West Suffolk constituency, added his support to the announcement, saying, “I am delighted progress has been made on sustainable funding for the horseracing industry. Racing touches the lives of millions, is the nation’s second most watched sport, supports over 85,000 jobs, including many in Newmarket, and has a huge impact on our economy and trade. Yet its finances have been hampered by an outdated levy system for some time. Today’s news is a big step forward, and we need to make progress fast in obtaining European clearance and in restoring the yield to sustainable levels soon.”

Classic-winning trainer William Haggas was another to voice his approval, and commented, “I am delighted with this news, which will help secure the future of our sport and the many jobs within it. Horsemen know that many bookmakers want to grow the sport in collaboration with racing, and I would urge those parties that are still wavering, for example in becoming an ABP, to get on the train fast.” www.thoroughbreddailynews.com

Mike At Meydan Not Every Saturday Is Super…

E

The Irish-bred-star Tryster, racing for the Godolphin team, recorded his ninth win at the expense of Farrier and Mike de Kock’s Ertijaal, in Saturday’s Gr1 Jebel Hatta run over 1800m on turf at Meydan.

rtijaal’s third sport was the bestplaced for the De Kock stable on a disappointing afternoon, a meeting Mike described as “one of those tough days at the office”.

Ertijaal

t was like suggesting someone who had just passed their driving test could take on the Le Mans 24-hour race. Or a non-swimmer could enter the Olympic high diving competition.

So when it was announced last February that Victoria Pendleton was going to try to ride in this month’s event, there cannot have been many who thought it could happen.

Pendleton may have been a serial accumulator of Olympic bullion, the most successful British female cyclist in history, but she had never ridden a horse.

This was a beginner in every sense of the word. And here she was thinking she could take on the most taxing National Hunt circuit in the world. How laughable was that?

Except this was Victoria Pendleton, a woman who does not do messing about.

To suggest the challenge was beyond her capabilities is hugely to underestimate the nature of the competitor; the truth is, this is a sportswoman who does not do things by halves. That was obvious from the start of her campaign.

This may have been an exercise driven by marketing, swathed in hashtags, with its perky Switching Saddles title and Support VP scarves handed out free at the press launch.

It may, too, have been a lucrative year’s employment for the former cyclist, said to be netting her somewhere close to £250,000 for 12 months’ worth of bruises and saddle sores.

Cycle Of Life

But there could be no gainsaying her determination.

Anyone who saw her on the velodrome track, lining up before an Olympic sprint, her jaw set, her eyes trained to the middle distance, her

Disappointing He got within three lengths of the winner but whether that will be good enough to get into the Dubai Turf, which will be an even stronger race, we’ll have to see.” Mubtaahij

was beaten 7.50-lengths into fourth behind surprise winner Special Fighter in the Gr1 Al Maktoum Challenge, Round 3 over 2000m on dirt. Wellfancied, he appeared to be

focus absolute and total, will not have been surprised by the manner in which she has thrown herself into this.

Her commitment is frankly terrifying. And it was there the first time she sat on a horse at the National Racing School last May: the same look, the same jawline, the same determination.

It is that competitive insistence which has driven her this past year, that has taken her to Lawney and Alan Hill’s Oxfordshire yard at six every morning for her training.

Those involved with her racing education have been astonished at her steadfastness, her enthusiasm, at the way she has used the disciplines of her sport in a new one; the manner in which she has taken on new information, dealt with new concepts, learnt to adapt to a new world, has been breathtaking.

Her bookmaker backer, Betfair, must have been delighted at the lynx-eyed ferocity she has applied at every stage of her development. It cannot have been expecting that.

That this has not been without criticism is not surprising.

Such has been the speed of Pendleton’s assimilation it has unintentionally undermined the processes of those who

have spent a lifetime in the sport. Here she is, a year on from sitting on a horse for the first time, about to participate in the most challenge racing in the world.

Astonishing

There are hundreds who ride for years and never get a chance like that; hundreds too who would relish the chance to work with people such as Paul Nicholls and Hill, who have been recruited to Pendleton’s cause via Betfair’s unfathomably deep pockets.

But if anything, the speed of her acclimatisation makes it all the more admirable.

Besides, she is not claiming that after a year she should be capable of starting alongside Ruby Walsh.

She is entered in an amateur race, up against the best of the country’s part-time riders.

The chances are she has done as much preparation in a year as several of them have done in a lifetime on the gallops.

Indeed, rather than carping, we should be celebrating Pendleton’s effort, relishing her chutzpah. Though it is probably wise not to get carried away and back her.

Her goal is simply to get round still in control of her horse. Setting out to win on Friday next week really would be ridiculous. Wouldn’t it? www.telegraph.co.uk

The final countdown to the Cheltenham Festival is upon us with the Prestbury Park spectacular being held from 15 to 18 March. Tuesday is always the most eagerly awaited with the Supreme Novices Hurdle, Arkle Chase and Champion Hurdle the three big races.

travelling smoothly under Christophe Soumillon in third, a few lengths off the pace, but the leaders bounced away with surprising ease as they straightened and nothing ran on to challenge them.

Pleased

While he was pleased with Ertijaal’s run, he noted that it may not have been good enough to guarantee the fouryear-old a berth in the Gr1 Dubai Turf on World Cup night. “One has to be realistic.

Ertijaal ran a good race, he couldn’t do better. He is probably not good enough to have beaten a horse like Tryster.

I

As publicity stunts go, the idea of putting a novice jockey into the Cheltenham Festival after barely a year’s training was a challenging one, suggests Jim White.

Mike commented: “We expected to fight out the finish with Mubtaahij today, to get into the first three at the very least, so this was disappointing.

He was moving well in the race and then appeared to hit a

flat spot after the bend, before staying on again late. “I have to say though, that runners drawn off the rail today had little chance of winning. Whatever turned on the lead or handy got away to win, unchallenged. Arguably, the first two past the post in the Maktoum Round 3 didn’t have the exposed quality of form to be considered as dangers before the race, yet they beat us comfortably. There was a clear track bias which makes it really hard for me to make an accurate assessment of this result.”

Mike concluded: “Make no mistake, Mubtaahij didn’t perform as we expected him to perform, but there is still room for improvement. He will need to improve a lot before 26 March, but I still believe he will be in the first four in the Dubai World Cup, he is better than this. What happens on Super Saturday is not guaranteed to be repeated on World Cup night. We have a few weeks to go, we’ll knuckle down and do the work that has to be done.” www.mikedekockracing.com

On Saturday, 5 March 2016, America’s sweetheart Songbird won her 6th career start and her 6th on the trot. Michael Wrona called her home:

L

And so it was that I was on a completely different tangent, when, as the current social media moniker goes, ‘this happened’. A bay filly with an irregular blaze named Songbird appeared on my screen. When I say appeared, I should say ‘appeared again’ because unbeaten champion 2yo fillies have a habit of making headlines.

In case you’re scratching your head a bit, I’m looking across the Atlantic again to North America. There are various racing festivals on the international racing calendar, but few as hotly anticipated as the annual running of the Kentucky Oaks and Derby. According to press reports, tickets are nearly sold out already. That’s crazy, considering the races aren’t till the first weekend in May, but it shows that if you build it (as in a good race day) and provide the champions, then the crowds will still come.

While I was on the California Chrome boat two years ago and American Pharoah was impossible to ignore last season, this year there’s a filly we should be keeping an eye on for the Kentucky Oaks. Her name is Songbird.

Breeding Songbird is by Medaglia d’Oro (perhaps most famous for being the sire of Rachel Alexandra) out of the 6-time winning West Acre mare, Ivanavinalot.

Songbird was bred in Kentucky by John Antonelli who recently commented on a Bloodhorse chat that “she looked special one hour after she was birthed and grew more and more special everday I saw her. She has a very similar look to Rachel Alexandra

and bred on a similar cross.”

Antonelli offered Songbird as hip no 28 on the 4 August 2014 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling sale.

She was consigned by John Sikura’s Hill ‘n’ Dale as agent and selected by bloodstock agent Tom McGreevy for longstanding client, Rick Porter.

McGreevy commented, “I’ll often say that I see horses that remind me of one of those drawings a 7-year-old does, where they’re just not put together right, and then at the other end are the horses that look like they’ve been painted by the best artist in the world. Songbird fits into that category.” The hammer fell at $400,000.

Owner Rick Porter, who races Songbird in his distinctive red and white Fox Hill Farms colours, has been associated with horses such as Eight Belles and 2011 Horse of the Year, Havre de Grace. Porter named the filly in honour of the late singer Eva Cassidy, after her compilation album titled “Songbird,” with the Fleetwood Mac song of the same name.

Trainer Songbird is trained by Hall of Fame trainer, Jerry Hollendorfer, who has been in the business of training racehorses since 1979.

Interviews with Hollendorfer, who turns 70 on 18 June, depict a considered, gracious and humble human being.

Racehorse training seems an odd choice for someone who studied marketing and asked how he got started in racing, he answered “That didn’t interest me enough, but the horses did. I was interested in finding out what was going on on the backstretch. After college, I visited a friend in San Francisco. I liked the climate right away. I went back, packed the car and drove out.”

Hollendorfer (known as ‘The Dorf ’) first found prominence with Hollywood Futurity and Haskell Stakes winner, King Glorious, but has subsequently produced Gr1 Kentucky Oaks winners Lite Light (owned by rap star, MC Hammer), Pike Place Dancer and Blind Luck.

Porter is a fairly new client in the Hollendorfer yard, explaining, “I like Jerry. He’s a Hall of Famer. He’s the real deal. His whole life is the horse.” A 2013 interview with Hollendorfer bears this out. Asked whether he has any hobbies, he answered, “I’m just a horse trainer.

That’s all I do.” The trainer isn’t quite sure how Songbird ended up being sent his way, saying, “I looked at all the horses before they decided which ones were going where, and, not only did I think she was special, but about seven or eight other ones (too). I’m grateful they picked (me). I don’t know if they flipped any coins or anything. But I’m glad we got her.”

2yo career Songbird broke her maiden on debut over 6 furlongs at Del Mar on 27 July 2015.

Right from the start, she’s stamped her personality on her runs. She likes to take the lead and stay there and won her first start by six and a half lengths under Hall of Fame jockey, Mike Smith.

She stepped up to Gr1 company second time out in the 5 September 2015 Debutante Stakes over 7 furlongs at Del Mar, starting 11/10 favourite in a tenrunner field. From an outside draw, Songbird went to the front, duelling with Bob

Smith was full of praise, “She has gears. You always worry about horses that are brilliant at 2. Sometimes they don’t mature or grow any more at 3. You’re anxious to see what will happen... She seems to have improved. She seemed up to her game even more, especially mentally. She was very happy today and took it all in stride.”

fated 2013 Eclipse Champion 2yo Colt, Shared Belief, who succumbed to colic in December last year. Although Hollendorfer doesn’t splash headlines the way some of his contemporaries do, he has been a dominant force on the Northern California racing circuit, topping the trainers log for 37 consecutive years at Bay Meadows and 32 years at Golden Gate Fields. Together with North America’s winningmost jockey, Russell Baze, he saddled 2,500 winners.

Hollendorfer reached the incredible career milestone of saddling his 7000th career winner at Golden Gate Fields on 26 November 2015 with Kiss “N Scat. He currently occupies third spot on the alltime list of trainers by wins, behind the late Dale Baird (9,379 career wins) and Steve Asmussen. He was inducted into the US Racing Hall of Fame in May 2011.

debut followed pretty much the same script as the rest of her starts – straight to the lead, setting a comfortable early pace and then drawing away from the field to win by 6 ½ lengths. “Same old, same old”, wrote Jeremy Balan for the Blood Horse, “and impressive nonetheless.”

“It’s all Songbird. She’s got them beaten to a frazzle.

How’d you like to earn 60 grand as easily as this?

Songbird wins by, well, whatever she felt like!”

ife (and horses) have a habit of hijacking you mid, well, just about anything really. Plan to go out for the day, and you can pretty much guarantee your horse will choose the exact moment you drive through the front gate to break out of its paddock, throw a shoe, injure itself, lie down and start looking a bit colicky or otherwise find any number of inventive ways to reroute your plans for the day.

b

Songbird Baffert’s Pretty N Cool for the first 5 furlongs, before coming under a ride from Mike Smith to win by 5 ¼ lengths in a time of 1:22:65.

Next she cantered down odds-on favourite in a 7 horse field for the Gr1 Chandelier over 1 1/16 mile at Santa Anita on 26 September.

Regular jockey Smith sent Songbird into the lead from the start and the she never looked in any danger, coming home four and a half lengths clear of Land Over Sea. The Chandelier Stakes was a Win and You’re In Challenge Race for the 2015 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies, taking care of her pre-entry and entry fees, along with $10,000 in travel expenses, although Porter had to stretch to a $100,000 nomination fee, as Songbird was not nominated to the Breeders’ Cup as a foal by breeder John Antonelli.

With 3 from 3, the undefeated Songbird started one of the heaviest favourites of the 2015 Breeders’ Cup meeting on the 31 October Gr1 14 Hands Winery Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies over Keeneland’s 1 1/16 mile trip. Speaking ahead of the race, Hollendorfer commented, “We’ve liked her from the very beginning. You know you don’t really expect to get horses that win easily, or that win by a lot, but in this case we did. And we’re just going with her, and she’s given us her best. And they’re all going to have to step it up a notch to win that filly race, so we have to step up too. We hope that we can.”

They did. While her outside draw posed mild concerns, she delivered an accomplished

performance, drawing off to win by 5 ¾ lengths over fellow Gr1 winner, Rachel’s Valentina (Rachel Alexandra’s Bernardini filly). The win was a memorable one for jockey Mike Smith, who is Breeders’ Cup’s all-time winningmost rider with 22 wins. “Once we jumped out the gate, it was just a matter of me staying on,” said Smith. “She’s so talented and she gives you so much confidence. I almost felt like yawning as we went along. I don’t mean that in a bragging way. She just gives me that much confidence.

I’m really blessed to be a part of this great team.”

With 4 wins from 4 starts, including three Gr1’s and winning margins of 6 ½, 5 ¼, 4 ½ and 5 ¾ lengths, Songbird was presented with the Champion 2 Year Old Filly title at the Eclipse Awards on 16 January 2016.

The DRF stated, “we know she’s special, we still don’t have any clue as to just how special she really is.”

While there has been considerable talk about the filly contesting the 2016 Kentucky Derby, owner Porter has been quick to quash the idea, saying the Derby has been ‘ruled out’, instead mapping a course of prep runs leading into the 2016 Kentucky Oaks.

3yo Campaign After a brief rest at WinStar Farm in Kentucky, Songbird returned to training in December last year, posting bullet work-outs at Santa Anita. She cantered down to the start of the Gr2 La Virgenes over the Santa Anita mile and her three-year-old

It was Songbird’s fourth straight graded win and her fifth overall for Jerry Hollendorfer, who was characteristically cautious in his post race commentary. “I was so pleased to see her way out there and cruising along pretty easy. At least now we got a race in her and we can try to make some more plans.

We want to run here at Santa Anita. What we do in between now and the Santa Anita Oaks (gr. I), I don’t know.”

What they did was line her up for last weekend’s Gr3 Santa Ysabel Stakes over 1 1/16th mile.

Without any asking at all, Songbird annihilated the field of 9, cruising to the wire in 1:43.02 to win by 3 ¾ lengths.

“It’s such a fantastic feeling when you get a horse like this,” said owner Rick Porter, owner of Fox Hill Farms.

“I’ve had some good ones, but I’m not sure I’ve ever had one this good.”

“We just keep doing our job and hope she keeps doing her job and we might end up in some good places with her,” said Hollendorfer. “We’ve already been to good places with her but we could get to more.”

Hollendorfer’s assistant since 2007 is Dan Ward, who worked for the legendary Bobby Frankel and helped handle fillies like Wandesta, Possibly Perfect and Toussaud. Commenting after her Santa Ysabel win he said, “When good fillies get running good, like Blind Luck did for so long, they’re very, very reliable. They fire every time.”

At this stage, it looks likely that Songbird will step out in the $400,000 Gr1 Santa Anita Oaks on 9 April with the longer term goal being the 6 May Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs. But with what she’s got going, in the words of Michael Wrona, it seems Songbird could do ‘whatever she likes, really!’

COSTLY VETS

It is not only owners who fear Vets – punters are not far behind. If you backed Radisha at Fairview last Tuesday you did your cash in cold blood.

She broke loose from the start, spread both hind shoes, was caught, returned to the start sweating like crazy - and cleared fit to race by the Vet with no hind shoes . She was last throughout.

Her jockey was then questioned regarding his riding and explained, as we all clearly saw, that she did not raise a gallop. That is bizarre – point fingers at the jockey – but what about the Vet?

Only Human

Five winners on Monday’s Flamingo Park ten-race programme is no mean feat and congratulations are due to trainer Bill Human and his front man Zietsman Oosthuizen, who dominated the meeting.

The tribute list and thanks from these colourful and passionate racing folk included Tanie Sarie, the sandwich lady. It is a different world and despite the difficulty of finding a winner in the Diamond Dustbowl, the racing is so entertaining.

Reigning champion sire Captain Al had yet another great run of success this weekend. The seven times champion sire of 2yos was represented by no fewer than five individual winners, with this tally including a treble at Kenilworth, as well as a smart looking 3yo feature race winner at Turffontein.

In the form of the Avontuur-bred Val Et Al.

Captain Returns

Captain America will have his first race since finishing third in the J & B Met in a pinnacle at Turffontein this Saturday as he bids to repeat last year’s HF Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut win. Brett Crawford told Michael Clower: “He is with the Mike de Kock yard in Jo’burg at the moment and goes in a 1 450m race on Saturday before running in the Horse Chestnut on April 2.”

Gold Circle’s Jay Harrielall has been appointed General Manager: Racing Division of Phumelela Gaming & Leisure Limited with effect from 1 March 2016.

This appointment was made in light of the imminent retirement of current General Manager: Racing Operations, Stan Diesel at the end of March.

Jay has been around forever and and as a true Durbanite, his biggest issue is probably going to be adjusting to Joburg.

We wish him well.

TWO

AMBULANCES?

Life Of O’Brien Irish jockey Joseph O’Brien will retire from riding to focus on a training career. The 23 year old son of famed trainer Aidan O’Brien was easing out of his role as a prominent jockey for Ballydoyle last year.

He was twice the leading rider in Ireland and in 2013 he set a record for wins in a single season with 126.

He is on target to receive his trainer’s license next month and is already set up with a large string of horses under his care in Ireland.

The mini social media storm that erupted after suggestions of Kamikaze type riding at the Fairview meeting on 1 March appears to have abated.

Collen Thabana fell off Knockout Johnny, while the only jockeys that were mentioned in the subsequent Stipes Report were the 7 day sanctioned Eldin Webber and Jason Smitsdorff. Let’s wait and see what is done about it.

NEAR MISS FOR CHRIS Christophe Soumillon has narrowly avoided a ban covering the Dubai World Cup meeting after pleading guilty to attempting to weigh out with a non-approved safety vest at Meydan’s Super Saturday fixture. The jockey’s three-race meeting suspension covers Jebel Ali, Al Ain and Abu Dhabi between 18 and 20 March, meaning he is free to ride on the world’s richest card on 26 March.

Leader Of The Pack

What is the first thing that came into your head when you heard the recently announced Durban July fashion theme? For mature racegoers it could mean wearing motorbike leathers, rather than anything elegant.

‘Leader of the Pack’ was an iconic 1964 hit song for the girl group The Shangri-Las and was a popular cultural example of a ‘teenage tragedy song’. It was refused airplay by the BBC due to its theme and some have speculated that it was considered likely to encourage violence between mods and rockers.

Stop That Horse!

English jockey Paul John has told a disciplinary panel that his former boss, trainer Jim Best, instructed him to pull up two horses in the space of four days. This follows an investigation into John’s ride on Missile Man at Towcester on December 17 last year.

The jock stated that he had deliberately gone wide to “lose as much ground as possible” and both he and his mount “finished full of running and energy.”

He also said that the trainer was angry with him post-race because he had “made it too obvious I was stopping the horse”.

Paul Lafferty

Paul Lafferty is one of the great and vibrant colours on South Africa’s racing scene – whether through his on course presenting, his position as co-anchor of the popular Winning Ways show or now, as a South African ambassador and competitor on the international stage.

He is currently campaigning Harry’s Son in the 2016 Dubai World Cup Carnival and has just been pronounced in remission after a battle with cancer. We catch up with him and chat about the roller coaster that has been that last 2 years.

On Harry’s Son Like many popular public figures, Paul Lafferty has been elevated to single name status and when we chat, the man everyone knows as ‘Laff’ is characteristically energetic and chats with his trademark enthusiasm. We start off discussing his stable star, Harry’s Son, who is fresh from running 4th in the 2016 Gr1 Jebel Hatta at Dubai’s Super Saturday meeting.

“I’m an agent for Magic Millions and was over in Australia for their June sale. One of my great mates is a guy called James Bester - he is one of the world’s great bloodstock agents who I’ve known for many, many years.

He’s based in Australia and buys for Coolmore and a lot of great clients. Phil Georgiou was with me that year and James approached us at the sale and said ‘I’ve found a very nice horse I want you to look at.’ He took us right to the bottom of the sale ground and showed us Harry’s Son.” “Of course we loved him immediately. Phil said we had to have him and he bought him for AUD$60,000, but make no bones about it, James was the one who found him. I then had the unenviable task of putting him together. Let me tell you, it was a nightmare! I touted this horse to the bulk of the major players in South Africa and no-one wanted to come forward. I was getting pretty frustrated, but at the death Roy Moodley took the last portion.

I must say there are a few people who must be looking back and think they missed out on a super star. Anyway, thank goodness for Phil having the tenacity to bang on doors and Roy for showing up at the right time.”

“Right from day one Harry showed that he’s a fabulous horse and when we started working with him, we realised sjoe, this is a very decent horse.”

‘Harry’ debuted over 1000m at Scottsville on 12 January 2014 with Stuart Randolph in the saddle and delivered by 2.25 lengths. “We ran him a bit early.

I was at a Magic Millions sale in Australia and listened to his debut run. He walked out of the gate and lost lengths, but still managed to win with his ears pricked and I knew we had a superstar in the making.”

“People forget – he ran his first Gr1 in the 2014 Gold Medallion.

If you look at that race, you’ll see he was the most unlucky horse in it – with 200m to go, he was 3rd behind Guinness and Carry On Alice – both Gr1 horses – and he should have won that race. Guiness took him out at his next start (the 2014 Golden Horseshoe) and he then won the Gr1 Premiers Champion Stakes which earned him the Equus Champion 2yo Colt Award.”

Grade 1 “Your first Grade 1 is very special. I’d had a Gr1 in the SA Classic with Love Struck for Alesh Naidoo and I’m often asked to compare Love Struck and Harry’s Son, and I always say there’s a cricket pitch between them! Harry went to Joburg and had to give away between 4 and 5 kgs to most of them and still beat them without taking a breath.”

“He then got beaten twice because he ran in the bog in the Dingaans when we got beaten

by Unparalleled, but we turned that around when he won the Gauteng Guineas when he beat French Navy into second and Unparalleled into 4th and we decided then and there he was good enough to run anywhere in the world. His run in the SA Classic 1800 is beyond me. It’s the only time he hasn’t got in the first four. We really thought he had the SA Guineas field at his mercy, but three days before the race he jarred himself and that was that.”

“I omit to tell you – we haven’t shirked any responsibilities: we flew him down for the Cape Guineas. Our plane was delayed for 3 hours, so he stood on tarmac for 3 hours, took off, landed in PE (we didn’t even know we were going to PE!), and then finally got to Kenilworth racecourse at 10am on the Saturday morning and he still ran 2nd behind Act of War. It was an extremely arduous journey and took tenacity and a great attitude. It showed what a class horse he is.”

“I also take my hat off to Piere Strydom, who has a great interest in Harry’s Son. He rode his 5000th winner on Act of War and was offered the ride on him in the Guineas. However, he said no and chose to stand by me which cost

him the Guineas, so the ride on Harry is his whenever he wants.

He’s part of the programme and he speaks to Phil and I twice a week. He’s doing everything he can to speed up his recovery to try and ride him on the big night. At this stage he’s ahead of the clock and he’s hoping to be back in the saddle before the World Cup. He’ll try and get a couple of race meetings in beforehand, which would be great. But anytime he wants, this horse will be there for him.”

International campaign “I’ve always been looking to get out there and mainly for the stake money and the owners have been great sports. I remember a good friend of mine, Herman Brown jnr saying to me that in 30 years of training he hadn’t made what he did abroad in 2 years and we’ve just seen that. Just by running 3 places we’ve already recovered our costs and we’re in front.

“But let me tell you, this business of getting horses out of the country is more costly and protracted than the Second World War! We did a month in Johannesburg, then flew to Mauritius. In Mauritius he had to do 3 months quarantine of which the last month was in total lock down, then he flew to France and from there to one of my great mates, Jim Boyle, in Epsom. From there he went to Dubai where he ran 2nd three weeks later.”

A lot of people have asked why we didn’t just send the horse to Mike, but if we did that would never get started and expand in our own right. Mike is a legend in my eyes, make no mistake, but it was a matter of us saying ‘we’ve got to get our feet in the water.’ The more horses you can have, the better for the string, so we’re definitely looking for more horses and would like to build a stable. Roy Moodley has bought another horse from Coolmore called Royal Navy Ship by War Front. He’s a bit of a staying galumph and probably wants a mile and a half. He came to us with feet problems, so we’ve had to nurse him along, but as he’s got sounder, he’s got better. He’s still a colt and it would probably be my idea to geld him, but Roy’s a breeder and has his own plans, so we’ll see. ”

Future prospects “Harry’s doing very well. He’s now had three runs back after a 10 month break and earned well over R1 million which has covered all our costs and was the bottom line of the exercise. In the Jebel Hatta he was just hampered in the straight, which cost him third place, but he ran a good race and he earned a cheque – as I said, he’s never out of the money. He’s come out of the race fine and we hope he’s done enough to qualify for the US$6 million Dubai Turf (previously named the Dubai Duty Free) on World Cup night.

They’re going strictly on Merit Ratings and there will be a lot of horses from Europe trying to get in, so I think we’ve only got a very small chance of getting in.

“We always knew it would be a tough call, but he’s done us proud and we will roll on. Either way he will have an international campaign because he’s been invited to run in the Hong Kong Mile. It’s on a right hand bend (the same as he won his Gr1 on) and Piere will be back by then. The idea would be to train in Dubai and fly out from there.

But we should know one way or another later this week. Harry’s Son is also still entire and he’s an absolute gentleman, so he’ll always remain an entire. He’s one of those laid back horses and he’s enjoying himself, so we’ve got a lot of options.

Cancer battle A little over a year ago, Paul shared the news that he’d been diagnosed with non Hodgkins Lymphoma and after a brief, but spirited battle, he was given the all clear late last week. “After my last chemo session, we did a PET scan. My oncologist called me in and said I’m completely in remission and we’ll do anther PET scan in 6 months. It’s a big weight off my shoulders,” he says in typical understated Laff fashion. He continues, “When my daughter put out the message that I’d beaten cancer, I’ve just been overwhelmed,” and in fact we have to take several breaks during our chat for him to answer phone calls from people ringing up to wish him well.

“The way I found out was that I’d just finished one of the Australian horse sales and was going for a beer with Steve Davis and Grant Burns and didn’t feel well. I still remember saying to them I felt like I was wearing a

corset. I went to the doc and they took 7 vials of blood and urine and came back and said ‘your blood picture is perfect, it’s just a sore stomach’. Even though I don’t smoke, they did a chest x-ray and found that it could be cancer, so they went and cut me open and took biopsies of my liver and kidneys. I woke up in pain with all these staples in my stomach. The found I had stage 2 lymphoma and it all came as a big jolt, I can tell you. I got a second opinion from a professor at the Royal Marsden in the UK who confirmed the diagnosis. He said that South Africa uses the same treatment as the rest of the world and not to worry, but I had to go through the chemo and all that.”

“That’s when the weight just started falling off me. I’ve had a few new nicknames as I went through the process.

First it was Lester Piggott, then Mahatma Ghandi, then when my hair started going it was Jack Nicholson and Bruce Willis!” he laughs. “I got down to 88 kilos, but I’m 110kgs as I talk to you now. Strangely, the chemo never affected me and I never had to take a nausea tablet or a pain killer. Chemo sessions were 15 hours a day, Monday to Friday, of putting stuff in through a port in my chest. I’d come home a little tired and probably not watch Friday racing, but I’d be up for a bit of racing on Saturday

and by Monday I’d be back to normal again.

“I had to have six sessions in total and just after the second session, my daughter and assistant Roy Waugh said they’d found this breakthrough product which came onto the market last September called Fucoidan. It’s part seaweed and part mushroom, but apparently it pumps your immune system.

We got it off the net and I started taking it as per instructions from Roy. From then on, I could go and have a chemo session and come out and play a round of golf - I couldn’t believe it”! My hair started growing back, I was gaining weight and everyone started saying how good I was looking.”

“Right from the start I decided that I’m going to stay positive and just attack it head on and I have to say a huge thanks for the overwhelming support I’ve received from the racing industry. I could not have been this confident without the help and messages of goodwill I’ve had. It’s been unbelievable. Every major player in the industry came forward and offered support – there wasn’t one who didn’t pick up the phone. It’s been extremely heart-warming. I’ve always had the attitude of never look in the rear view mirror – only through the front windscreen, but I’m very chuffed.”

On The Road Again

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

New Course Record

Scottsville 28th February Somewhat surprisingly, as the going was posted as Good to Soft, MUSCATT broke the course record over 1000m at Scottsville on Sunday when winning the pinnacle stakes. On leaving the stalls it was TONTO (reported lame near fore) who elected to make the running whilst Michael Roberts’ charge raced close up in second. He put his head in front approaching the 200m marker and drew clear easily in the closing stages of the race to score by three and a half. Four of the afternoon’s eight races were run over 1400m and quickest home amongst these was SEYMOUR when registering his second career victory in the MR72 Handicap. Not the quickest into stride, the son of Count Dubois was positioned in the backend of midfield during the early part of the race. He quickened best of all in the straight and in what proved to be a real thriller he got up in the very last stride to deny HOLD THE LINE (raced in rear – led 100m).

The non-black type Unsinzi Handicap over 1600m topped the bill and here victory went to one of the three co-second favourites MAMASITA. She got away well when the gates opened and taken straight to the front by Anthony Delpech, led throughout. She was always a length and a quarter clear and won without any anxious moments.

Turffontein 1st March

Fairview 1st March A maiden plate over 1600m got proceedings underway at Tuesday’s poly track meeting and here victory went to the second favourite BUENOS AIRES. On leaving the stalls it was the limited MESSAGEINABOTTLE who somewhat predictably set the pace, whilst Tara Laing’s charge raced close up in third. He ran on strongly in the short home straight and got up nicely late to score by three quarters.

Four of the afternoon’s eight races were run over 1300m and quickest home amongst these was FASHION SCOUT in the MR72 Handicap.

Sent off joint second favourite at 11/2, Yvette Bremner’s charge raced in midfield for most of the journey. He ran on best of all in the straight and got up late to deny the well supported ON MY WITS ALONE. The faster of the two 1200m races was the MR70 Handicap won by SILVAN JAZZ. Always handy, the top weight got the verdict by a half in a blanket finish.

TITBITS Although never a threat to the winner, FACEBOOK was flying at the finish when third in the MR66 Handicap over 1900m.

They raced on the old stand side track on Tuesday evening where because of a severe electrical storm the meeting had to be abandoned after just three races.

A maiden juvenile plate over 1160m was first up and here victory went to the favourite RIBOVAR. Fourth beaten six lengths in what looks to have been a very useful field in his only previous start, Sean Tarry’s charge raced second. He moved up to tackle the front running second favourite as they approached the 100m marker and with the rest some five and a half lengths adrift he went on to score easing down by a half.

A maiden plate over 1000m was next up and here the 8/1 shot LEROY got off the mark. Soon up handy despite taking a bump at the start, the Rebel King gelding raced prominent throughout. He was ridden to lead passing the halfway mark and just had enough in hand to hold off the running on HEVER CASTLE by a neck.

What proved to be the lucky last was a maiden plate over 1400m and here the well supported COPTIC

A Merry Tune Greyville 2nd March They raced on the poly track on Wednesday afternoon where five of the nine races were run over 1600m. The fastest of these was the MR70 Handicap won by BLUE BEACH. Freely available at 12/1 on the off, Craig Eudey’s charge was positioned in the backend of midfield during the early part of the race. She ran on best of all in the straight and despite not finding the clearest of passages, she got up in the dying strides.

Quickest home in the three 1200m events was PETER PIPER when completing a double in the MR82 Handicap. Always handy, the son of Jet Master ran on strongly over the final 400m

and only got the better of the front running BENGAL BOY close home.

The one remaining race was the opening maiden plate over 1400m in which DIAMOND LEAGUE got off the mark. Pitched in against what has to be said was a very moderate bunch, the 1/3 favourite sat on the heels of the pacemaker during the early part of the race. She put her head in front early in the straight and went on to score very easily by two.

TITBITS GUN SLINGER was always a length and a quarter clear when winning the maiden plate over 1600m.

From Russia With Love Vaal 3rd March The best bet on the card for most at Thursday’s outside track meeting was NOTHER RUSSIA, and in what proved to be the faster of the two 1600m maiden events, the well-bred daughter of Tiger Ridge didn’t let down her supporters.

On leaving the stalls it was TRICIA DUPONT who elected to make the running whilst Mike De Kock’s charge was content to amble along in midfield.

She quickened well when given rein and won going away by five and a half after striking the

front 150m from home. Three of the afternoon’s nine races were run over 1400m and quickest home amongst these was FAREEQ in the second division of the MR72 Handicap.

Freely available at 12/1 on the off, Nother Russia’s stable companion also came from midfield.

He struck the front going through the 200m, and did have the running on HAWAIIAN SUN (came from the rear) held by a length and a quarter at the wire.

CROSS did the business. Backed all the way in to 15/10 from 33/10, Alec Laird’s charge was soon at the head of affairs. He answered every call over the final 400m and beat the deposed favourite ODD ROB fair and square by a length and a half.

Youngsters Continue To Excel

G

Former Champion 2YO Teofilo (Galileo) had a notable Gr1 double this past Saturday, when his son, Special Fighter, won the Gr1 Maktoum Challenge in Dubai and another son, Palentino, landed the Gr1 Australian Guineas at Flemington, writes Sarah Whitelaw.

alileo’s most successful sire son to date, Teofilo stands at €50,000, with his previous top performers including illfated Irish Derby winner, Trading Leather, Gr1 Irish St Leger winner, Voleuse De

Coeurs and last season’s dual G1 winning filly, Pleascach.

He looks on course to enjoy another cracking season in both hemispheres in 2016, with Teofilo’s 2yos of last season including Gr3 Tattersalls Somerville Stakes hero Sanus Per Aquam, Gr1 Dewhurst runner up Massaat and Gr3 Oh So Sharp Stakes

winner First Victory. Now the sire of nine individual Gr1 winners, as well as this season’s dual Cape classic runner up, Brazuca, Teofilo won all five starts at two, including both the Gr1 National Stakes and Gr1 Dewhurst Stakes.

Regarded as a bright classic hope, Teofilo, however, never started after his juvenile

campaign –a tendon problem occurred while the colt was being prepared for a start in the 2000 Guineas, and he was officially retired in August of his 3yo campaign.

Teofilo Ironically enough, the colt Teofilo beat into second in both the National and Dewhurst Stakes, Holy Roman Emperor, was another colt destined not to see a racecourse after his two-yearold career. The son of Danehill was rushed off to stud, when it was discovered that his former stablemate, and fellow son of Danehill, George

Exquisite Touch streaks to a convincing win

Washington, was subfertile.

While neitherTeofilo or Holy Roman Emperor have headed the general sires list (and neither look likely at this stage to challenge the likes of Galileo or Dubawi), both stallions have enjoyed a solid level of success. Teofilo, who stands for nearly three times that of his former rival, has been the more successful in terms of Gr1 winners, the son of Galileo outdistancing his Danehill sired rival by 9 Gr1 winners to six at this stage.

To date, Teofilo has over 50 stakes winners (from 565 runners) to his credit, whereas former dual G1 winning 2yo Holy Roman Emperor is the sire of 53 stakes winners from 846 runners to date.

Teofilo is out of a mare by multiple champion sire, Danehill, also broodmare sire of successful SA sire, Ideal World (sire of Met winner Smart Call), promising young sire Roderic O’Connor (Galileo) and French sensation, Siyouni (Pivotal).

Frankel First

L

Avontuur’s red hot sire Var, who currently leads South Africa’s 2yo’s sire log, was represented by his eighth individual juvenile winner this season on Tuesday evening - and rounded off a good week in style when his daughter Exquisite Touch maintained her unbeaten record when winning the Listed Ruffian Stakes on Saturday.

The Ruffian Stakes review is carried in our feature flash on page 8.

ast Tuesday at Turffontein, Var’s son Ribovar, making just his second outing for champion trainer Sean Tarry, proved too strong for ten other juveniles in a maiden juvenile plate over 1160m.

Despite hanging in the closing stages, and racing green throughout, the colt

powered home to score a convincing half a length victory at Turffontein.

Bred by the Gold Star Stud, Ribovar was a R550 000 buy from the 2015 March Yearling Sale.

His sire Var (who had a double on Tuesday with his son Buenos Aires also scoring on the day) has some very exciting juveniles representing him this season.

This was clearly demonstrated by the fact that Var had the runner-up Rivarine in Saturday’s Listed Storm Bird Stakes for 2yos and three runners in the Listed Ruffian Stakes (for 2yo fillies) –notably winner Exquisite Touch as well as Hamunaptra and Star Burst Galaxy.

Var, whose yearlings have fetched up to R4 000 000, has 3 lots on offer at the

upcoming March Yearling Sale –they include a full sister to the smart Raconteur whose relatives include champion Kochka (Lot 118) and a filly whose dam is a winning half sister to a G2 winner in South America (Lot 234).

The sire of 17 G1 horses and counting, Var also has a strong draft on offer at April’s National Yearling Sale.

His 28 lots on offer include a colt out of SA Oaks winner Bedloe’s Island (Lot 7), a colt out of a G1 winner Covenant (Lot 53), a filly out of Cape Fillies Guineas winner Field Flower (Lot87) and a half brother to Equus Champion Rabiya and the hugely promising 3yo Bela-Bela (Lot 230).

Danehill’s influence through his daughters and their sons at stud could well be further emphasized in the future as undefeated champion, Frankel, bred, (like Teofilo) on the famed Galileo/ Danehill cross, has his first runners this year.

In contrast to Teofilo and Holy Roman Emperor, one of Europe’s most fashionable sprint sires, Dark Angel (Acclamation), was retired at the end of his 2yo campaign, when connections stated that he was not a classic horse and would have found life tough competing in top class sprints.

Winner of the Gr1 Middle Park Stakes, Dark Angel has had burgeoning success at stud, as seen in his rising stud fee, from €10 000 to €60,000 in 2016, and his yearlings have sold for up to 825,000 guineas. His has been a genuine success story, with Dark Angel upgrading his mares, and his top performers including Gr1 winning sprinters, Lethal Force and Mecca’s Angel, as well as last year’s Gr1 2yo, Birchwood.

Dark Angel’s popularity can also be gauged by the fact that he has four notable sons at stud –including the above mentioned Lethal Force, who

Seattle Singer placed 2nd in th

e

LISTED RUFFIA N STAKES

at Turffontein on

Saturday

stands at Cheveley Park Stud for £10 000.

This year, Dark Angel’s son, Gutaifan, winner of both the Gr2 Flying Childers Stakes and Gr2 Prix Robert Papin, follows in his sire’s footsteps and retires to stud having raced solely at two. Other sires retired to stud in recent times at the end of their 2yo campaigns include Approve (Oasis Dream), Lilbourne Lad (Acclamation), Sir Prancealot (Tamayuz), and Zebedee (Invincible Spirit).

While Dark Angel, and the above mentioned pair of Holy Roman Emperor and Teofilo have undoubtedly enjoyed success, it remains to be seen quite how many precocious, speed orientated young sires the market will accept –or how many of these will enjoy any notable success. Certainly, it is hard to imagine many of these stallions, who stand for relatively low stud fees, making a consistent mark on the world’s great classic races.

Nothing New The trend of retiring horses at the end of their 2yo campaigns to stud is by no means a new one, however.

One of the greatest 2yos of all time, The Tetrarch, became an outstanding sire, despite proving a shy breeder, from a brief stud career, while neither of the breed shaping stallions, Hail To Reason and Raise A Native, raced after their juvenile campaigns. However, the three sires mentioned above were exceptional racehorses, with both Raise A Native and The Tetrarch retiring to stud undefeated, and Hail To Reason (subsequently the sire of Halo and Roberto) making 18 starts as a juvenile, with his nine wins including the now Gr1 Hopeful Stakes, as well as the once major stakes races the Youthful Stakes, Sapling Stakes and Sanford Stakes.

While precocity certainly adds to a sire’s commercial appeal, even today, it is clearly not essential for a top sire to have been a top 2yo –the world’s leading sire Galileo, having made just one start at two (which he won), while other outstanding sires such as Bernardini, Candy Ride and Medaglia D’Oro having made a combined total of 1 start at two.
