Shenanigans can give Lyle Hewitson another memorable run

Beating The Drum DRUM STAR HANDICAP (L) at Turffontein this Saturday

T

Gary Alexander will be keen to repeat the Azzie – Hawaii Stakes emotional high of a few weeks ago when he saddles a pair of runners – including last year’s winner The Elmo Effect – in Saturday’s R150 000 Listed Drum Star Handicap at Turffontein.

he Alexander family racing team have fond memories of Drum Star, who gave them some memorable performances almost two decades back, and they will be hoping for a double in the race named in honour of their champion.

That said, they don’t boast the most in-form 6yo duo in 2017 winner The Elmo Effect and stable companion, Top Shot.

The Elmo Effect has not made a sparkling start to 2018 with three uninspiring runs – finishing an aggregate of 46 lengths back.

Sherman Brown gets the opportunity to raise the son of Admire Main’s game but he has some ground to make up after he was not persevered with in the Aquanaut last time.

One has to go back ten months to find stablemate Top Shot’s last success and he falls into a similar category to The Elmo Effect after running 14 lengths behind Shenanigans last time. The latter holds him on that.

Recent Listed Wolf Power Handicap winner Arctica ran second to The Elmo Effect last year but looks a decent bet to reverse that defeat. Piere Strydom rides the son of Captain Al, who carries top-weight but meets the Alexander galloper on the same terms as 2017. He was beaten 6 lengths by Fareeq last time and meets the De Kock galloper on a kilo better terms.

Anthony Delpech rides the first of the De Kock trio in Secret Captain, who was backed to win last time – but got pipped by stablemate Fareeq in the shadow of the post. Formerly with Duncan Howells, the grey 4yo has shown improvementat all of his four Gauteng starts and one gets the impression that his top rider would have learnt from that last experience.

St John Gray’s Dawn Assault features high on our ratings and ran a cracker when grabbed late by top filly Orchid Island over the course and distance last time out. The 4yo has run four decent races and will be primed for a big effort.

Sean Tarry’s pair of Pilou and

Lyle Hewitson’s recordbreaker Shenanigans would both have a shout at best.

Pilou has a second run after a rest and would have needed it last time when fading out to 8 lengths off Full Mast. He tries the trip for the first time and can challenge.

The lightly raced Shenanigans has won 3 of 6 starts and steps up in class after giving Lyle Hewitson a memorable recordbreaker, winning at the Vaal last Tuesday.

Chepardo has been on the fringes at his last three outings since winning two on the trot. This smart 6yo must have a decent chance of earning and holds the likes of Fareeq on his last run.

Course and distance winner Go Direct has not won in close on a year and may be more effective over 200m further in this company. He has run three fair races this year and will strip fit – he also gets the services of Gavin Lerena from a 2 draw.

Fareeq was a surprise victor last time out over stablemate Secret Captain with a sweetly timed rails run by jockey Muzi Yeni – who rides him again. He is a half kilo worse off with his stablemate but it is unlikely that Anthony Delpech will be caught napping again.

The 6yo Kilrain is the third of the De Kock trio and has improved since relocating from the Cape at the

beginning of this season. The 6yo was left with far too much to do in a puzzlingly run Aquanaut Handicap and drops 600m in trip - a move that may improve his prospects. The fact that Anthony Delpech sides with Secret Captain suggests that Kilrain must rank an outside chance only.

A typically tough handicap where recent form and fitness could give the likes of Secret Captain a chance to register his first win for Mike de Kock. It’s a lucky dip thereafter, with Dawn Assault, Pilou and Arctica serious challengers if things go their way.

Craig Zackey has Luna Child in front as Greg Cheyne and Queen Forever arrive too late while What A Player (Charles Ndlovu) stays on in third

BREEDERS GUINEAS (L) Fairview last Friday

F

Glen Kotzen – the thinking man’s trainer! Plan a KZN Champions Season trip. En route to Durban drop in at Fairview. Collect a trophy, some black-type and a cheque of R93 750.

riday saw a sweet plan come together for Mary Slack’s Wilgerbosdrift Stud and the Woodhill Racing Team!

Mauritzfontein stallion Ideal World enjoyed a hat-trick of winners at Greyville on Sunday and maintained his rich vein of form with Woodhill Racing’s Cape-based daughter Luna Child scoring a first stakes success in the R150 000

Listed Breeders Guineas at Fairview on Friday.

The son of Kingmambo has 20 lots on offer at the BSA National Yearling Sale on the 24 to 26 April and it is galloping billboards like his smart daughter Luna Child, who will have the buyers keen to get a slice of the action.

Coming off two low-key handicap wins at Kenilworth, Luna Child, one of a pair of Glen Kotzen runners,

was easy to back at 5-1 as punters looked to the powerful Snaith-Van Niekerk combination’s Merysagos, who started favourite at 16-10.

Craig Zackey rode a confident race on the Woodhill galloper, who tracked leaders Cloud Atlas and What A Player two lengths off the pace in third.

In the run for home, the challenges were not coming from the expected quarters as Charles Ndlovu grabbed a length as What A Player bounced into the lead at the 300m.

Craig Zackey was bluffing as Luna Child appeared to be going out the back door, and he let her grab a

gulp of air as she rallied strongly late and came right back to hit the front inside the 100m.

With Queen Forever bursting out of the pack, Zackey had timed things perfectly and Luna Child held the local star to a decisive half length win in a time of 98,95 secs.

Queen Forever came down the inside rail in the run for home, but had to be switched out more than once by jockey Greg Cheyne, as he searched for a gap.

By the time Queen Forever saw daylight, the bird had flown and she may have looked to some like an unlucky loser at her first try at a mile.

Her stablemate What A Player stayed on smartly after showing prominently for a long way and she kept the fancied Merysagos out of the trifecta.

Bred by Wilgerbosdrift & Mauritzfontein, Luna Child, who has won 4 races with 2 places from 10 starts for stakes of R262 275, is a daughter of Ideal World (Kingmambo) out of the versatile six-time winner, Cast A Spell (Rambo Dancer). The latter has produced a host of winners.

Luna Child looks sure to stay on in time and she could be a nice feature prospect for the Woodhill Racing Team during the KZN Champions Season.

STORM BIRD STAKES (L) Turffontein last Saturday

Bold Nursery Prospect old Eagle, who had made an eyecatching winning debut when storming home to beat Running Brave on his Vaal debut in early February, made short work of his opposition to score a smart win.

After the first-timer Vardo and the fancied Oratorio gelding Van Halen had shown the way, Anthony Delpech produced the full of running Bold Eagle at the 400m and the handsome colt was always going too strong.

He beat the late-finishing maiden Royal Italian (what price next time in the maiden ranks?) by 3,50 lengths in a time of 58,4 secs.

Azzie’s Var first-timer Heavenly Risk only caught on late and he was a length further back in third. A decent debut.

Van Halen faded out to a disappointing 8 lengths off the winner, while Robbie Sage’s recent debut winner William The Silent never showed and was a length behind.

Bold Eagle started at a generous 6-1! A dead ringer for his Dad Bold Silvano, he is out of the Western Winter mare Inflorescence and was a R210 000 buy from the 2017 National Yearling Sale.

A winner of 2 from 2 starts, he took his earnings to R159 375.

He will be back for the Nursery!

Anthony Delpech and Bold Eagle are well clear

Muzi Yeni crouches low on Dagmar

RUFFIAN STAKES (L) Turffontein last Saturday

First For China Horse Club

T

The China Horse Club celebrated their first further 3 lengths back, rounding off South African feature race success when the the Querari trifecta.

Frankly ran out of the money and Querari filly Dagmar bounded home on debut for Mike de Kock at Turffontein on Saturday to finished 7,25 lengths behind.

A R450 000 Cape Premier win the R150 000 Listed Ruffian Stakes.

he first three home were daughters of Maine Chance stallion, Querari, and after his son Monks Hood’s cracking Gauteng Guineas win at the same venue a week earlier, there will be plenty of interest in the son of Oasis Dream’s 42 yearlings who come on the market next month – 26 at the BSA National Yearling Sale and 16 at the CTS April Yearling Sale.

With Gr1 victories across the globe, including Australia, Britain, France, Ireland, Singapore and the USA, the low-key Listed score by Dagmar will be seen as a quiet start here for the China Horse Club, an organisation started by Teo Ah Khing to be Asia’s premier lifestyle, business and thoroughbred racing club.

Those punters who had followed the Gold Circle First-

Timer comments published on Sporting Post may have benefitted from Matthew de Kock’s pre-race assessment that the 20-1 shot Dagmar was ‘showing plenty of speed and based on that must have a good each way chance’.

The daughter of Querari’s chances were undoubtedly enhanced by the unfortunate withdrawal at the start of favourite Miss Khalifa, and that left the Alec Laird filly Frankly, the favourite. The daughter of Frankel never showed past midfield and failed to make the frame – much to the disappointment of exotic punters.

But after showing smart pace, Dagmar powered home under Muzi Yeni to beat Urban Oasis by 2,10 lengths in a time of 59,24 secs.

Debut winner River Rafting was a

Yearling Sale graduate, Dagmar was bred by Maine Chance Farms and is out of the eight-time winner Daffodil Day (Silvano).

She has earned R93 750.

Ready To Run Date

The annual Cape Thoroughbred Sales (CTS) Ready to Run (RTR) Sale will be held on Friday 23 November at the Durbanville racecourse, with gallops preceding the event on Thursday 22 November.

The sale is followed by the lucrative CTS Ready to Run Stakes, set to take place at Kenilworth on 24 November, with a generous R2,5 million stake on offer to qualifying CTS graduates.

The Ready to Run Sale is a popular event on the annual bloodstock calendar, as it provides potential buyers with an opportunity to purchase a schooled and pre-trained 2-year old, foregoing the year-long wait buyers need to endure after purchasing a yearling. In addition, the gallops offer a preview of how the horse moves at full gallop, as well as the opportunity for timing over a few furlongs. “Viewing a horse in stride can sway a would-be bidder by providing a more holistic perspective of the horse’s ability, along with the obligatory scrutinizing of pedigree and conformation”, remarks Wéhann Smith, CEO of CTS. The sale also promises exciting and lucrative pinhooking opportunities. The Top 20 Pinhooks from last year’s CTS RTR Sale raked in profits in excess of R7,4 million for speculators, with an average profit of R380,000 for each of the Top 20. Khopesh, by freshman sire Jackson (out of the regally bred Western Winter mare Ruby Heart) was last year’s no 1 pinhook, selling for R700,000 – a profit of R655,000 over its original purchase price.

“The allure of pinhooking for seasoned buyers is the untapped earning potential and excitement of the unknown. It can also act as a stepping stone for those new to the industry who may be hesitant to commit to owning a racehorse-in-training themselves, affording them the opportunity to learn more about bloodstock while potentially profiting from the process”, says Smith.

Her trainer admits to not knowing quite how good she is, but the Gr1 SA Fillies Sprint is the target for impressive Bauhinia Handicap winner Covered In Snow, who made it four on the trot at Turffontein on Saturday.

he daughter of Scott Bro’s stallion Crusade made it four wins on the trot when steered to a convincing victory by regular pilot Muzi Yeni in the 1000m Listed feature. “She is such a decent little

sprinting filly, she keeps upping her game and running her heart out,” says Randjesfontein-based Dianne Stenger, who tells us Covered In Snow will have one more outing at home before travelling to KZN for the Gr1 SA Fillies Sprint in May.

last Weekend Sun Chariot Handicap

Tuffontein Saturday

Zack Attack The Erico Verdonese trained Emerald Bay benefitted from a welljudged Craig Zackey ride to get Pick 6 punters off to a rocky start to a tough afternoon at Turffontein.

Enjoying her handy galloping weight of 52kgs, plus a kilo over weight for Zackey’s services, Emerald Bay allowed Witchraft to do the donkey work, as she followed in stalk mode all the way round the 2400m of the R135 000 race.

At the 400m, Emerald Bay was given the nod and she stayed on well as Witchcraft started to labour under her weight.

Starting at 15-1, Emerald Bay was too strong and beat Witchraft by 0,70 lengths in a time of 158,22 secs. Arte was next best in third.

Fancied topweight Patchit Up Baby ran a rare flat race and finished out of the money.

Seeking Gold, who has consistent form, almost lost rider Dennis Schwarz in running and finished last.

Bred by Erico Verdonese, Emerald Bay is a daughter of Mullins Bay (Machiavellian) out of the three-time winner Model Emblem (National Emblem).

She has won 4 races with 7 places from 17 starts for stakes of R347 525.

Egoli Mile

Turffontein Saturday

Ready For War The Brave Tin Soldier colt Soldier On showed a smart turn of foot when coming from off the pace to win the R135 000 Egoli Mile run on the Turffontein standside.

Marco van Rensburg had the Stuart Pettigrew trained galloper about seven lengths back after he had reared as the gates were sprung for the non blacktype feature.

Turning into the home stretch, Loyal Lieutenant continued to show the way with lightly-raced recent maiden scorer Infamous Fox slipping through down the inside as Soldier On made his way down the outside.

Van Rensburg timed his move sweetly and he rode hard to stave off the determined challenge of Infamous Fox by a quarter length in a time of 100, 94 secs.

It was an eyecatching post-maiden effort by Infamous Fox, with Gambado finding some of his better form to grab third.

Owned and bred by Mr T Kung, Soldier On is a son of Brave Tin Soldier (Storm Cat) out of the unraced Australian-bred Rockabye Girl (Southern Image). He is a winner of 2 races with 3 places from 6 starts for stakes of R184 550.

Gold Rush Sprint

Covered In Snow, who enjoyed the distinction of being her sire’s first stakes winner when winning the Swallow Stakes in January, was a popular choice to win on Saturday and she duly delivered.

Relaxed a few lengths off the heat, Covered In Snow never looked in danger of losing as she turned it on at the 250m marker to hold the improved again Myfunnyvalentine by 1,25 lengths in a time of 58,7 secs.

The grey Frederico’s Dream showed plenty of pace and stayed on well for third.

Racing in the familiar Peter White silks, Covered In Snow has won 4 races with 1 place from 5 starts for stakes of R315 125.

She is out of five-time winner Blue Nevada (Anytime) who hails from a genuine Clifton damline, descending from the same family as their Gr2 winner, Glenrossal.

Blue Nevada, out of Crystal De Roche mare Sierra Blue, has produced three winners from three runners. Her 2016 foal is by Jackson, whilst her filly currently at foot is by Ideal World – she is in foal to Crusade.

On a tough afternoon for punters, Mrs O’s enthusiastic return to racing under Weichong Marwing after a 12 week break, also saw an amount of R1 990 000 carried over.

Expected to need the run and possibly lacking speed, Mrs O was dropped out as Tripod and Barrack Street made the pace, ahead of Down To Zero.

At the 200m it was anybody’s race as Mrs O unwound a thrilling late effort down the outside to catch Down To Zero and win going away by a neck in a time of 65,14 secs.

A R500 000 2016 Cape Premier Yearling Sale graduate, Mrs O was bred

by Nadeson Park Stud and is a daughter of Oratorio (Danehill) out of the four-time winner Ginger Hill (Western Winter).

She is leased by top breeder Pippa Mickleburgh to Green Street Bloodstock (Pty) Ltd and has now won 3 races with 1 place from 8 starts for stakes of R274 375.

The winner has won a trip for two, including flights and accommodation, to attend the Qatar Glorious Goodwood Festival in England in early August 2018, or a trip for two to the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Racing Festival in January 2019.

L'Ormarins Queen's Plate Festival Writers Award Chris Swart’s winning submission for the 2018 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Festival Writers Competition

T

Blue, White & The Big Grey

he roll of honour of the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate is testimony to one of the finest races run over a mile in the world at undoubtedly the most beautiful course on this planet.

I’ve been racing since 1983 and the first meeting I ever attended was the Jordache Derby won

by Stella Maris but the course was still rumbling after the domination of Wolf Power in the 1983 Queen’s Plate.

Wolf Power was a household name in the early 80’s, dubbed “the big grey wolf”. He was invincible over a mile, eight furlongs or 1600m no matter which of these synonyms was employed. A grey colt by Flirting Around (USA) out of Pandora had appeared on the pages of Farmer's Weekly once displaying him at a sale where he fetched R30,000. My uncle had dug through his collection when I returned home for Christmas raving about an amazing grey horse and proudly showed me this.

He was back again in 1984 and by a stroke of luck or poor exam results on my side, I was too. This time I wasn’t going to miss him for any money or an upcoming commercial law supplementary exam.

The papers and posters made it a walkover and I took the Friday train to the city with a walk down to Tattersalls, ready to part with my monthly allowance in full confidence it would be repaid with 40% interest on Monday morning. The rooms were abuzz with telephones ringing, shouting across the cubicles and there was a common denominator in all of the chatter. WOLF POWER. Once my R100 was down with Jack Brodie, I hurried down to the Crow Bar, had a beer and ran the race in my head many times over. The thought of my beer and fast food money being lost just never appeared in the likely scenarios. Jehan Malherbe would wax lyrical about Wolf Power from the moment the gates opened and how easily he travelled into the straight. It would be race over by then.

I decided I wanted a clear head and early night and caught the train back to my digs in Observatory. To say I battled to sleep was an understatement.

I put my three piece suit on early Saturday morning, hopped on the train and headed toward Kenilworth.

Disembarking on the platform, there was a buzz and Wolf Power was once again going to be the popular banker in the thousands of jackpots played on the day.

I wisely budgeted for the entrance fee, a few small bets and drinks because I was simply not going to lose four cases of beer before the race.

I grabbed a boerewors roll and strolled into the circle that separated the betting rings. It all seemed surreal, bookmakers all left the rooms at the same time and arrived at the course, setting up their cubicles. I eagerly waited for the feature race board to be priced up and I began to smile when I looked at the price. My investment had shortened to 1/3. With confidence soaring, my heart began beating faster. Just a few hours away and I’d see the champion in the flesh with Jeff Lloyd on his back. Everything seemed to be in slow motion until that point.

Time was near standing still for the appearance of the big grey wolf.

When you wait for a champion to

He unfortunately contracted biliary and declined but was exported to stand at stud in the United States.

It was also the last Queen’s Plate I’d ever attend.

The magical race however has not lost appeal. I knew it was the true test of the best horses and the honours board before Wolf Power’s double included Sea Cottage’s double, Chichester’s double, Yataghan, Sledgehammer’s double, Politician’s double, Over the Air and Foveros before him. All were names that each and everyone knew.

Being a more street wise and savvy student my studies revolved round midweek and Saturday meetings.

I didn’t have to rewrite exams, so I missed the Queen’s Plate in the following years but I recall recording the Queen’s Plate won by Spanish Pool.

Wolf Power winning the Gr1 Queen's Plate in 1984 appear, the undercard is trivial. I can’t remember a single other horse that ran in other races on the card and an hour before the feature race, I decided to take swingers, a dupla (now known as an exacta) and trifectas on the outcome. I'd place the bets early as I didn't want to get stuck in a queue minutes before the off.

The race kept being run in my head.

I envisaged Rain Forest making the pace but wilting when Wolf Power cruised up and the only possible challenger being Spanish Pool, a small handsome bay British import, so he’d be my swinger and dupla choice. It wasn’t going to buy me a car nor afford me a date at Kelvin Grove but it would be a return on my outlay.

The trifecta looked very difficult as bar Wolf Power and Spanish Pool everything else was 20/1 and better.

I saw my grey friend Stella Maris (preparing for the J&B Met) and Count du Barry there but couldn’t figure out what would scramble into the placings.

Rain Forest and Rise and Rule were top seven furlong horses that got the mile on class.

There were no hopers like Hawkins over a distance half of his optimum trip, the winter specialist Merasyn who was outclassed, former Guineas winner Heracles was past his best and declining form wise.

A scruffy ginger guy with a Cockney accent asked me what I liked and when I said Wolf Power, he laughed and said “from draw 13, he’s got no chance”. I asked him for 7/10 and he disappeared into the now bustling crowd as quickly as he’d sidled up to me.

The Hat Lady was resplendent in bright blue and she cackled away to her folded newspaper, studying her version of the outcome.

I decided I’d bank Wolf Power for a win, float Spanish Pool for a place and include Rain Forest, Rise and Rule and Count du Barry for the placings in my trifecta. The permutation cost me R6 and I took it five times.

The rent money was down and that R1 coin was now weighing my right hand pocket down. It was my train money home. I skipped the idea of the dupla and my pocket lightened with a swinger on Wolf Power and Spanish Pool. I never contemplated a long walk home or hitching a lift.

It was nearing time and I hastily grabbed a seat at the top of the stand round the parade ring. I wanted to

have the optimum vantage point to see the champion being saddled up and brought to the parade ring. I scanned the box allocated to him and suddenly he emerged with his groom, ears pricked and walking like he owned the course. He was too far away to look into his eye but my heart was now racing.

Here he comes. You’ve finally met the horse you’ve been dreaming about.

Here is the big grey wolf. Wolf Power was walking into the circle and you could cut the air with a blunt knife. All eyes to the left.

He was dappled, darker than I thought but it was his head and eye that told me everything. In front of that rippling muscled frame, his eye was what I read about in articles about Secretariat. I’d not seen this look before in a single horse that had walked around that ring in a year. Here was the look of an eagle. The dark eye, focused, intense and ready to take flight. He was absolutely breath-taking. He walked around and the bell rang. Jeff was given a leg up onto what looked a minute object on his back. He arched slightly and acknowledged the presence of his pilot and began to look more on his toes. He wanted to get out the ring and go into battle. There was little doubt in my mind I cursed myself for opting for the top of the stand. I had to get down and see him parade and canter down. I descended two steps and then jumped down the side, worming my way through masses of people heading the same way. This was like the gold circle at a super rock concert.

I managed to get a slot on the rail just in time and just over an arm’s length away, Wolf Power strolled past. I could almost touch this immortal animal and joined in the well-wishers cheering him on. I might have uttered “Ride him Jeff” as the crescendo began to ascend.

He turned just out of eyeshot and I watched him look ahead, Jeff rose in the saddle, took hold of the reins and he stretched out. There is no describing a perfect action. He just looked like an ultimate athlete, moving easily and covering ground with a large relaxed stride.

The battle for a place in the grandstand was now on and I managed to find room next to the owners and trainers in the main stand. Another of my heroes, Ralph Rixon looked gigantic next to me and I hoped he wouldn’t feel offended when I cheered against his grey filly Grey Sun.

I could barely see the field circling at the start and didn’t own a pair of binoculars. Everyone round me appeared to though and they were relaying the hustle to anyone listening without them.

They began loading and I could barely see or hear a thing. There was this constant build up in the volume of this crowd. It was like the build-up before a try being scored at Newlands down the road.

I couldn’t hear the commentator but there was a roar when those gates opened and I heard someone say “Jeff got him over perfectly”. The race in my head was being replayed live. The colours were a blur and I saw three greys in the field with the white cap all I was looking for.

The Kenilworth straight beckoned, Rain Forest was going strongly but the crowd was looking for his pursuer and he began emerging like he had been placed into the race on that corner.

“Go Wolf Power” and “Ride him Lloyd” were all I heard and at the final furlong pole, he looked like he was in another race. There was no danger, nothing was coming. He’d put away the pacemakers and Spanish Pool wasn’t making an impression.

He was being eased down for his task ahead and the margin of two and a quarter lengths flattered Rise and Rule.

I wasn’t really watching anything else, I started to run round toward the winners circle and found a front row seat. In the distance I could see the runners coming back.

Rise and Rule trotted into the second box which I noted on my Computaform and I saw Spanish Pool in the third box with David Payne getting the debriefing from Muis Roberts.

The noise and cheers were deafening when the champion trotted back in. Jeff circled him and he was lead into the winner’s box. The reigning, defending champion was back Wolf Power had won the 1984 Queen’s Plate and I was there.

I watched him being led away with a slight sweat where his saddle and girth were and that was the last time I ever saw him again. I cashed in my tickets and walked back to the station with R200 in my pocket with my R140 before tax ticket to be collected that Monday.

Wolf Power had paid my rent for three months.

I could probably tell you how he battled it out with the Oppenheimer owned Bodrum (another grey trained

by Ricky Maingard) and the Millard trained three year old Prontissimo until my last breath as I listened to that race hundreds of times over.

David Payne had turned the table on Ricky Maingard this time.

The change over the years has been remarkable. The crowds dwindled with TV and telephone betting but what remained were the champions. They kept coming.

This was a race I would not miss. I’d be in the middle of nowhere but have my radio tuned to the Saturday sport stations to catch the race. Mark Anthony was one of those, Flaming Rock and Empress Club others. I loved this race because in almost every running, the real champion emerged. Every horse of the year would begin their quest by winning this coveted silver plate.

London News, Jet Master’s double, Free My Heart winning twice in three years, Winter Solstice’s double.

What happened after them can only be described as the race that is now remembered as his own. The dual winner Jet Master’s son Pocket Power made this race his own for four consecutive years. In what became colours synonymous with him, the pink, white and blue of Marsh Shirtliff refused to yield. His legendary flat spot always had people holding their breath but that turbo would kick in and in a moment he was all over the winner.

If the race wasn’t held in honour of Her Majesty the Queen, it would be renamed the Pocket Power Stakes and deservedly so.

Incredibly seven years after his retirement, novice race goers still ask if Pocket Power is running.

The marketing and dynamic emergence of L’Ormarins as a sponsor led to the return of the masses to the track. In their blue and white colours, the younger generation are encouraged to dress with elegance and style. It’s not a party, it’s a celebration. The champions are seen by this generation, just as I witnessed Wolf Power 23 years ago and we live with the hope and expectation that they will return with the household names on their lips like Legal Eagle who has thrilled them in the last two years.

This is a race I never said goodbye to. In 1984 I said adieu.

I’ll be back Kenilworth.

In my finest light blue and white outfit.

SPORTING POST • FriDAY 16th - SUNDAY 18th march 2018

Silvano Son Does De Kock Proud

The 3yo Poser

Monks Hood

A

Snowdance

A winner-take-all match race over a mile at Greyville in early May to launch the SA Champions Season extravaganza on the East Coast could go some way to creating some much needed hype.

nd maybe even resolve the burning debate – who is top of the class in the 2017/18 3yo crop?

We are probably dreaming. Match race proposals tend to generate more talk than action these days. Limited cash resources and tight programming are the usual – to be fair, not necessarily invalid either – excuses.

A pity, as looking back at the still talked about duels between Brainteaser and Divine Act at Gosforth Park, and the Winning Form sponsored thriller of 1989 at Greyville, where Northern Princess beat Senor Santa, interest was generated beyond the capacity of any starry-eyed racing marketer’s advertising budget or marketing plan. They were a rush!

Girl vs Boy

The general consensus for the 2018 match is Justin Snaith’s Cape Fillies Guineas winner Snowdance versus the Gauteng Guineas star Monks Hood.

On ‘neutral ground’ at Greyville over a mile, with the gelding carrying 58kgs and the filly 55,5kgs.

The Querari gelding Monks Hood’s runaway victory in the Gr2 Gauteng Guineas on 3 March had the print and broadcast media in raptures and dishing the superlatives.

Amazing. Another Horse Chestnut.

Freak. Worldbeater. Delighted owner Mary Slack observed that she didn’t even have to scream to get her boy home.

Last Sunday at Greyville, every Natalian from Paul Lafferty to Craig Peters to the parking attendant was talking Monks Hood. Who can blame them? Really top horses have been a scarce commodity to emerge from the holiday province in recent years.

But should we be getting carried away?

There were no Cape visitors in the Guineas field. And most of the Cape Summer Season Gauteng raiders were despatched home from Kenilworth with their tails between their legs.

Saturday’s race was also on the short side for Tony Ruffel winner Surcharge, who raced from a wide draw and stayed on late. The highly vaunted and previously unbeaten

Majestic Mambo was all over in the preliminaries and performed similarly in the race. A real boykie!

Our in-house handicappers also suggest that the reliability of the Gauteng Guineas result needs to be confirmed in time. The false run – closer to a 1400m than a mile – race was the second fastest of the eight around the turn on the day – and Monks Hood won the sprint for home.

Top Crop

But no playing the knowall Devil’s Advocate can detract from the fact that this is an extremely exciting 3yo crop – and a vintage one.

“This is our foundation for the future. It looks rock solid. It’s an exciting time for South African horseracing. This 3yo crop – both the girls and the boys – has achieved one of the highest average ratings midway through a season in recent years. On exposed form I would think that the fillies getting the sex allowance could be better than the colts. That could still change though as the season progresses, as it is a fact that the fillies mature at a much faster rate than their male

counterparts,” suggests former handicapper Vee Moodley.

Kenilworth Racing Director Vidrik Thurling said that he initially thought that this was a bad crop given the fact that ‘they were beating each other too often in all centres’.

“When that happens there are only two scenarios – they are either collectively poor or, less often, special.

Following some disagreement with the Ringer , I conceded that this was indeed a super crop.”

Cape Best

Vee Moodley went on to say that from a provincial perspective the Western Cape have the stronger crop in both sexes, with the exception of the sole KZN candidate Monks Hood – who ‘may be the best miler in his age group’.

“I would like to see Monks Hood run in the Greyville Guineas and then take his place in the Gold Challenge at WFA. That should be at his mercy,” he speculates.

The experienced racing administrator says that the most exciting thought is that there could even be some unexposed firepower.

He cited the example of subsequent dual SA Horse Of The Year Legal Eagle, who won his maiden in March and went on to be one of the leading 3yo’s of his generation at the end of the season.

“Janoobi has done us proud, he’s had a wonderful campaign,” said Mike de Kock after the son of Silvano plucked on gamely for third to Blairhouse and Benbatl in Saturday’s Gr1 Jebel Hatt over 1800m at Meydan.

Match Race Could Light The Fire

“We are pleased with this run as not a lot went Janoobi’s way. I would’ve preferred to have some cover, to have a horse or two pull him into the straight but he was beaten under a length and Jim Crowley reported he saw out every inch,” said the champion trainer on his website www. mikedekockracing.com The US$5-million Dubai Turf over 1800m on World Cup Night is likely to be Jaboobi’s next race.

“We’ve been thinking of the Gr1 Champions Mile in Hong Kong and the Gr1 Kranji Mile in Singapore as next possible targets because Janoobi will be ideally course and distance suited, but we will be discussing this with Sheikh Hamdan.

“He enjoys having a strong contingent of runners on Dubai World Cup night and on his Jebel Hatta showing Janoobi will have a chance of sharing in the prize money in the Dubai Turf. I’m glad we don’t have to go for the Godolphin Mike on sand. We will please Sheikh Hamdan.”

Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum’s Al Sahem, another SA-bred son of Silvano, will be aimed at the Gr2 Dubai Gold Cup

over 3200m. He was doing his best work in the latter part of Saturday’s Gr2 Dubai City Of Gold over 2410m, finishing fifth to Hawkbill.

Mike assessed: “This was a very good run by Al Sahem, he is coming to his best. He ran on from the back against proper international Gr1 horses and I have little doubt he will see out 2 miles in the Gold Cup. We finished third with Zanzamar in 2013 and second with Star Empire in 2015 and he’s arguably a better horse than both of those.”

There was no feedback from the Brett Crawford yard on Sun Met winner Whisky Baron, who faded out in the Jebel Hatta after running wide, but prominently early.

The biggest sporting and social occasion on the Dubai calendar, the US$30m Dubai World Cup race day will be held at Meydan on 31 March.

It is the conclusion of the UAE racing season, featuring nine high-class races including six Gr1 and three Gr2 contests.

Racing is brought to a close by the US$10m Dubai World Cup, won in 2017 by Arrogate.

Meydan Maths Muddle Liam Dreams Of World Cup Ride A simple calculation of the Saftote Meydan Jackpot and Place Accumulator dividends for Super Saturday make for interesting reading.

These are the official dividends published by Saftote / Tabgold: Jackpot 4-7 Net Pool = R 156880.57 / Tickets = 57.35 / Dividend = R 2408.60 Place Accumulator 1-7 Net Pool = R 113415.86 / Tickets = 45.1 / Dividend = R 1866.00 The sums make no sense!

But Saftote has advised that the final Meydan Place Accumulator and Jackpot dividends for Saturday’s meeting are ‘100% correct’.

“The query raised is a valid one but the display and the final pool totals for both bet types were overstated by a technological glitch in the system.

The carry-over amounts for the mentioned bet types were duplicated.

We did encounter similar issues previously and our International hub, where the Pools are hosted, thought that the issue was rectified. That was obviously not the case, given that it has now resurfaced. I am awaiting their input so that I can issue an official press release, ” said Phumelela Sports Betting Executive Vee Moodley, who apologized for all the ‘confusion’ that this has caused.

Ed – Mr Moodley requesed an indulgence on the press release as he was awaiting feedback from the Isle Of Man. Nothing was received at time of going to press.

Trainer Ernst Oertel and 4th year SAJA apprentice Liam Tarentaal teamed up to win the School Transport Services 1400m handicap on dirt at Jebel Ali last Friday.

arentaal rode a confident race to get Khalid Khalifa Al Nabooda’s 6yo Desert Party gelding, Epsilon, over the line by a decisive 4 lengths in a time of 1 min 25.93.

It was the second international victory for Tarentaal, who has been in Dubai since late last year after taking up the opportunity to ride for Grandstand Stables’ Ali Rashid al Rayhi.

Al Rayhi was specifically looking for a capable, light-weight claiming apprentice to join his yard and nineteen-year-old Liam fitted the bill perfectly, being able to ride at 50kg and with a solid 18 SA winners to his credit.

Liam’s first win came on Saturday

20 January aboard the Rashed Bouresly-trained Murrayfield, in the Harley-Davidson Northern Emirates Handicap at Meydan.

Liam described it as an incredible experience and one he will always remember for the roar of the crowd from a packed Meydan Racecourse.

Friday’s win was an all South African effort, as it came for Ernst Oertel, who has been plying his trade successfully in the UAE since 2012.

Securing a ride for the Dubai World Cup meeting is Liam’s ultimate goal, saying “I’m trying really hard to get a ride for World Cup Night as it will be the biggest racemeeting of my life!”

Liam is due back in South Africa at the end of March.

There is a special high that comes with winning a race. It is all the sweeter, when it is shared with friends. Mathew de Kock shares the story of Takingthepeace.

ll stories start somewhere and the story of 2018 Gr1 Gauteng Fillies Guineas winner Takingthepeace starts a little later than most of her contemporaries, at Summerhill Stud on 4 December 2014. The bay filly joined the 2016 CTS Johannesburg Ready To Run draft, catalogued as lot 121, where she caught the canny eye of Mathew de Kock.

Purchase “They used to have the gallops on the farm and the sale in Joburg, but this year the gallops were at Randjesfontein.

Mathew has had a thorough schooling in developing his eye, but is fortunate to be able to call on some solid expert advice when he needs a second opinion. “I immediately phoned my dad and said please come and have a look at the filly. I always ask him – he’s got a lot more experience. If I get his approval, then I’m happy. He saw her and also said she was beautiful, so we marked her down as one we wanted to buy.”

Although the budget was originally set at R200k, Mathew went to R280k to secure their pick. “We did stretch a little, but I did really really liked her. I know it’s a cliché, but I really liked her right from the first time I saw her.”

They say your horse is only as bold as you are and they don’t come a lot bolder than Mike de Kock, who is not afraid to put his own money where his mouth is and owns the filly in partnership with Mike Shea (son of top international jockey Kevin Shea) and Murray Makepeace.

“Kevin is one of my dad’s best friends and Mike is one of my best friends, so when Mike approached me about buying a horse for him and said he had another friend who was also interested, I wanted to have fun with them. My dad also wanted to support me and my friends and help get some youngsters into the game, so ja,” he shrugs shyly.

Name The filly was purchased with the name Sagano, after the Japanese scenic railway. However, with Murray Makepeace being the majority shareholder, Mathew asked whether he’d like to change the name and he said yes. “With his last name being Makepeace, we wanted ‘peace’ in the name somewhere,” explains Mathew. “We sent through a few name with ‘peace’ in it, but they

were all rejected. Then we tried four or five Zulu names meaning peace and they denied those also. I said they must be taking the p**s, we said how about substituting ‘peace’, Murray loved the name, we sent it in and it came through,” he chuckles.

With regard to the old school notion that changing a name is bad luck, Mat says he’s not superstitious.

“Murray is new to racing so he doesn’t have all these preconceived ideas and I think we’ve proved they don’t apply!”

Dream Start It’s hard not to dream big, particularly for first time owners. Did they have any idea they might have something special on their hands? “Our first goal was to try and qualify for the Ready To Run. Obviously coming off that sale, it was something we had to consider. Probably the most important thing was that she was born in December,” explains Mathew.

“And although she was so nice, the fact that she was late meant there was always going to be room for improvement. When we got her, we took it very easy for the first three or four months and just cantered her, but from day one, anytime anyone

got on her, they all said she feels really nice, even just at the canter work.”

Giving Murray Makepeace’s green and purple silks their first race course showing, Takingthepeace debuted over 1160m at Turffontein on 28 May 2017. With Anthony Delpech in the saddle, finishing 2.55 lengths 3rd to London Secret, which Mathew pronounces ‘a very good run’. She reversed the form second time out on 15 June 2017, beating London Secret by 1,25 lengths. “We decided to put her away for the winter, keeping in mind that she’s a late foal and was always going to improve.”

3 Year Old Campaign She came back to the track as a 3year old on 17 October 2017 and, over the Vaal 1000m course, put a field of older fillies to bed by 2.4 lengths conceding weight all round.

“That’s when we thought this is a serious filly.”

Takingthepeace had done enough to qualify for the Ready To Run Stakes at Turffontein on 4 November, finishing a creditable 3rd behind Big Bear and Brave Mary. “After the Ready To Run, we entered her for the Fillies Guineas as well as the Fillies Mile on Summer Cup day.

She drew well in both and we considered

either one, but she got sick, so we the shadow of the post and grabbing backed off her and she missed the victory by 0.25 lengths in a thriller. end of the Joburg season.”

It’s been saddle, finishing 7.45 lengths back quite a ride. “We didn’t have any and with only two horses crossing expectations.

We well at home, so we were scratching bought her hoping she might win one and we’ve ended up here!” our heads.”

THE WRONG IMPRESSION

Are the NHA protecting punters – and horses? The 6yo Impressionist had his 56th start at Fairview on Friday. The Vet reports that he went down short and not striding out in front. Then the Stipes report after the race that in view of his run (9,95 lengths back) the Course Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine him. Just 72 hours later Impressionist is back for his 57th start – this time on the Fairview poly. Now apprentice Lyle Hewitson reports that he felt something amiss with the gelding in the running. He finishes 13 lengths back. The Course Veterinary Surgeon (the same as Friday) was requested to examine and reports that Impressionist was not striding out in front. So where to from here?

Scott Bros Mr Greeley stallion Crusade enjoyed two stakes winners this weekend. Dianne Stenger’s smart filly Covered In Snow bounded home in the Listed Bauhinia Handicap at Turffontein for her second stakes win. North of the Limpopo, Butchie Boy, bred by Richard Fitzgerald, collected his second win in a row when victorious in the Gr3 Zimbabwean Guineas at Borrowdale on Sunday for trainer Bridget Stidolph.

The gelding is owned by the Sunmark Racing Syndicate.

Crusade has 6 colts and 6 fillies on next month’s BSA National Yearling Sale.

Karis Teetan celebrated a career milestone when riding his 200th Hong Kong winner at Sha Tin on Sunday. The win, which came aboard the David Ferraris-trained Amazing Satchmo for owner Nicola Chu Ming Nga in the 1400m Boat Quay Handicap, had a certain amount of déjà vu. On 8 September 2013, Teetan rode his first Hong Kong winner at his first attempt in the first race of the first day of the new Hong Kong season aboard the David Ferraris-trained Amazing Always. He notched his 200th Hong Kong winner for the same stable in the same silks!

Commentator Alistair Cohen, who calls the PE meetings from Rivonia, is seldom at a loss for words. But when the tractor casually pulled the starting stalls in front of the cameras as the field stormed into the final stages of the Fairview Monday sixth race, Ali literally had nothing to say! The Fairview tractor driver is obviously not a punter or a marketing man.

In fact he seemed oblivious that racing was even on the go.

Avontuur star Oratorio is proving a popular versatile sire and produced a hat-trick of winners on Saturday, including an impressive feature race win by his daughter Mrs O, who landed the Gold Rush Sprint at Turffontein, beating male opponents. Divine Odyssey romped to an impressive maiden at the same track, while Sequined dug deep at Durbanville to register her second win. Oratorio has 15 yearlings on the 2018 April Yearling Sale and 22 lots on the 2018 Emperors Palace National Yearling Sale.

Cape bred gelding Captain Lars, who was bred by Klawervlei Stud and was trained here by Mike de Kock, scored his 16th victory at Wolverhampton on Saturday. The durable eight-year-old, who had also scored on Wednesday last week, justified 11- 8 favouritism with a convincing ¾ length win over Newstead Abbey.

The latter was receiving 12lbs from Captain Lars! A R1.4 million buy from the inaugural Cape Premier Yearling Sale, Captain Lars is a son of champion sire Captain Al.

Bon Voyage

Dean Kannemeyer’s Sun Met runner-up Last Winter and Candice Bass-Robinson’s July winner Marinaresco jetted out of Cape Town on Monday en route to 90 days of quarantine in Mauritius. Last Winter is being aimed at Hong Kong in December.

Days Numbered The end of Betfair in Australia is a possible outcome of the implementation of a widespread Punters’ Tax Down Under. The point of consumption tax is set to be rolled out by all states in Australia in the coming two years, with South Australia already charging bookmakers a 15 per cent tax on profit on customers and Western Australia to follow suit in 2019. The 15 per cent tax rate has been widely condemned as excessive by the industry, but the prospect of a turnover tax model in New South Wales is far worse with the likely demise of betting exchange Betfair. Betfair acts as a key lubricant to the market in Australia, giving increased liquidity and ensuring bookmakers offer fair and reasonable prices.

DOWNGRADE

The Asian Pattern Committee has downgraded the Gr1 SA Nursery to Gr2 this season. This action was based on the Average Annual Race rating for the race over a four year period.

Jockeys & Betting Outlets

W

The National Horseracing Authority have issued a correction to a published finding on a jockey having entered a betting outlet without permission, after legal counsel for the Coastal Jockeys Association demanded that the matter be reviewed.

e reported under ‘Rough Ride For Our Jockeys’ (SP 2441) about Cape jockey MJ Byleveld, who was issued with a warning for an infringement of rule 21.3, after he had failed to obtain Stipes permission for having participated in a Met panel discussion in a Betting World branch.

Byleveld has had a more detailed version of the finding published in this week’s NHA calendar.

Headed ‘Correction’ and dated 3 February, the insert states: M J Byleveld (Jockey) – Rule 21.3 – Having participated in a televised Panel discussion at the request of the Racing Operator, but for failing to obtain the written permission of the Stipendiary Board, to enter or visit any registered betting premises where members of the public are able to place any bets or wagers of any kind whatsoever. Fined: Warning.

The ludicrous aspect of Byleveld’s original charge was that he had been invited by a member of the Phumelela executive and had thus, reasonably one would feel, assumed that all was in order.

The lack of discretion shown by the Stipes has been the subject

of much debate. The very spirit of the intention of the original rule – that jockeys avoid betting outlets to reduce the negative public perception that could arise – did not look to have been broken. Byleveld attended the function together with well-known racing personalities, as an invited guest and without remuneration.

We reported on 2 March that the Coastal Jockeys Association had instructed their lawyers to inform the NHA that none of their members would be party to any future panel discussions on any racecourse or betting premise. That was the mandate until such time as Racing Executive Arnold Hyde issued an apology for embarrassing Byleveld and also gave an undertaking in regard to jockeys attending similar events in future.

While Byleveld will take some heart that his good name has been cleared, his disciplinary record will reflect the charge.

We were unable to determine whether the requested apology was forthcoming and how the NHA intend dealing with these alleged breaches of rules in future.

Surely there are bigger and more pressing issues facing the racing regulator?

Anton Marcus steers Antony Hotspur to victory

CANDIESE MARNEWICK

Start Think Tank Needed - Top Jockey

Leading jockey Anton Marcus pulled no punches when he suggested that horseracing officials did not appear to be aware of the reality that it is punter money that keeps the game going.

MARCUS was speaking after he had ridden the odds-on favourite Antony Hotspur to victory in the carryover Pick 6 opener, the Greyville third race on Sunday.

“This gelding barrier trialled just a week ago and played up badly there. He was probably the shortest priced horse on the afternoon and everybody’s banker. Yet despite the experience of the barrier trial and the starter knowing what happened there, we are loaded early,” he said after Antony Hotspur had become unsettled and had to be taken out and examined.

In nervous moments for backers, Marcus was given the go ahead to load and he landed up winning

easily in the end.

“Nobody is looking for preferential treatment. And naturally the safety of horse and jockey is of paramount importance. But the public’s money is what keeps the engines running.

We owe them better than this. We need an urgent think tank on the starting process,” added the veteran rider.

Assistant trainer Nicolette Roscoe said that Antony Hotspur was a bit above himself after a seven month rest and said that he did get uptight at his barrier trial.

The call for action by Marcus comes just 48 hours after the Le Grand Rouge incident at Fairview on Friday.

Enough Is Enough - Leading Owner

L

“The game is in a shambles. It’s dying.

And then we have ridiculous rules, bad decisions and poor attitudes chasing people away. It’s probably high time for me to reconsider how much of my good money I’m throwing after bad.”

eading owner Hedley McGrath bought 42 yearlings or 2yo’s last year.

He owns or has shares in 112 horses. He spends big money on what he concedes is a passion. He keeps many people directly employed.

He has introduced new people to the sport. It’s a game he loves.

His father was one of the greatest Stipes this country has known. He knows the game inside out.

But after last Friday’s Fairview meeting, he is plain ‘gatvol’ and says he intends cutting his spend and interests in half. He will also not be attending the sales next month as he had planned to do.

“I am not speaking from my pocket. I won R17 000 on the day. I am speaking from my head and pure logic says that we can’t carry on playing silly games with punter’s money. The simple maxim that if you couldn’t win, you cannot lose must apply. Le Grand Rouge was never a runner in the eighth race,” he told the Sporting Post in an exclusive chat after the last race.

Le Grand Rouge

The incident that was the straw that broke the camel’s back for Hedley was the Stipes declaring his fancied galloper, Le Grand

Rouge, a runner after rearing – prior to the gates opening – in the eighth race.

Le Grand Rouge, a popular favourite after winning his last two starts in good style, can be seen rearing prior to the gates opening.

His trainer Yvette Bremner has confirmed that the Western Winter gelding has no history of antics at the starting stalls.

As the gates are sprung, Apprentice Lyle Hewitson clearly has his bottom out of the saddle and is seen taking evasive action and sliding off on to the side of the stall.

The Starter took no action.

Backers of the horse did their money in cold blood.

Revised Rule

In terms of a revision of the rule published in the NHA Calendar 117 Volume 16 of 10 November 2017, applying to horses being declared a non-runner, if a horse is deemed to be the architect of its own demise as it were, it will be regarded as being under starters orders: 61.5.10.2 Subject to Rule 61.5.10.3: In the event of the actions of a handler preventing a HORSE from starting in a RACE and/or resulting in a HORSE being impeded and thereby losing a significant distance when the stalls are opened, and no false start is declared, such HORSE may be deemed by the SB

not to have started and the SB may declare it to have been withdrawn, provided that a horse which is ultimately declared first, second, third or fourth in a race by the judge shall not be declared a nonrunner.

61.5.10.3 Where a HORSE has been impeded and has lost distance as contemplated by RULE 61.5.10.2, such HORSE shall not be declared a non-runner if, in the sole discretion of the SB, such impediment and subsequent loss of distance was as a consequence of the HORSES own behaviour.

We also pulled out this rule: 61.6.11 The only HORSES which shall be deemed to have started will be those in the stalls when the starter releases the gates; provided that the SB after a hearing, may in its sole discretion and within the time period specified for the lodging of notification of an OBJECTION, declare any HORSE to be a nonstarter.

“Sanity has to prevail. The rule is nonsensical. Friday’s incident proves it. Punters have to be protected and given a fair shot.

The game has lost owners for various reasons over the past few years. Punters are leaving. Can we blame them? They are defecting to sports betting and other channels.

There is no leadership. I don’t think anybody in authority has any clue as to the impact this kind of circus has on the credibility and integrity of the sport. The industry is fragmented on top of it all. You are welcome to quote me.

Somebody has to stand up and say enough is enough,” said Hedley in closing.

Cheltenham Festival Extravaganza Summerville Boy set the trend for a great four days as he prevailed in a thrilling finish to beat Kalashnikov in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle to get the 2018 Cheltenham Festival under way on Champions Day, Tuesday.

I

n a typically dramatic climax to the opening event, winning jockey Noel Fehilly said: "That's unbelievable, I was nearly off at the last. How we came back from there I don't know, it's unbelievable. He's a very good horse, he is settling better, he is growing up all the time."

It is estimated that around 200 000 fans will stream through the gates for the event over the four days. This is in addition to the huge number of fans who get to enjoy the racing action through television or Internet live streams.

The 2018 renewal comprises almost 30 races and more than 500 horses competing for a share of the £6 million prize money on offer.

The second day – Ladies Day of Cheltenham features the Queen Mother Champion Chase. This Gr1 event is run over a distance of 2 miles with the runners having to jump over 12 fences.

St Patrick’s Day on Thursday features the Stayers’ Hurdle which is used to crown the star of the hurdles division.

The undisputed top dog with regard to the Cheltenham Festival takes place on the final day – Gold Cup day.

The Cheltenham Gold Cup is run over 3 miles and 2 furlongs.

The first horse racing contest recorded in Cheltenham was held in Nottingham Hill in 1815. The first Cheltenham Gold Cup took place in 1819.

Querari Star For Hong Kong

Monks Hood, the brilliant winner of the Gr2 Gauteng Guineas ten days ago and winner too of the Gr2 Dingaans, is in the process of being sold to a Hong Kong owner.

A lot of the necessary veterinary tests and red tape procedures have already been finalised for the Wilgerbosdrift Stud-owned Querari gelding, but the sale has not yet been finalised by the pending new owner.

Trainer Alistair Gordon said, “It is a hard one to lose a horse of this calibre, but every horse has its price.”

Hong Kong is one of the few countries in the world where average stakes returns per horse is more than the average cost of ownership, so Monks Hood will have a good chance of recouping his cost price.

The process for the next overseas shipment from the Kenilworth quarantine station is expected to start in June, depending on the numbers.

If it does go ahead, Monks Hood can only expect to reach Hong Kong by the end of November after the arduous journey via Mauritius and Europe.

The Secret Is with Steve Furnish

OUT

A review of the week's best SPEEDRATINGS

More Than Enough

No Underhandedness

Greyville 4 March Other than the barrier trial run on the poly, there were no sprint races on Sunday’s turf card. Three of the afternoon’s eight races were staged over 1600m and the quickest home in these was ROY HAD ENOUGH in the bill topping pinnacles stakes. In what in real terms wasn’t a fast run race, this progressive son of Pierro raced in the middle of the seven for most of the journey.

He quickened well at the top of the home straight and got up late to deny the front running CELTIC CAPTAIN. The only other distance to stage more than one race was 1400m. Both were slowly run maiden events, the quicker being that won by the best bet on the card for many ALDO’S CHASE. Always in the red, Dennis Drier’s charge was soon in touch with the leaders. He was ridden to lead shortly after passing the 200m marker and kept on strongly late to beat the running on MR T by three quarters.

In terms of distance the easiest victory on the card was undoubtedly that of DARK MOON RISING in the MR76 Handicap over 1800m. In what proved to be the fastest race on the program, the top weight still had a few lengths to find when the very well handicapped SYLVESTER THE CAT struck the front 400m out. Once given rein though he quickly began to reduce the deficit and cruised clear to score by five after striking the front 150m from home.

TITBITS

Vaal 6 March They raced on the inside track on Tuesday where proceedings got underway with a maiden juvenile plate over 1000m. The Mike De Kock trained newcomer BELTON ROAD was all the rage in the betting market, but on the day he found one better in another newcomer GREEN HAZE. Ridden to lead 250m out by Gavin Lerena, Belton Road did everything right. Running on nicely from midfield though, the son of Gimmethegreenlight put his head in front 100m later and won going away by a length and a quarter.

Three of the afternoon’s nine races were run over 1800m and by far the fastest of these was the MR72 Handicap won by the progressive MY FAVOURITE BROWN. Easy to back at 6/1 on the off, the son of Big Brown was soon positioned close to the speed. He took up the running going through the 600m and went on to score with authority from the 9yo YER-MAAN. The MR84 Handicap was the faster of the two 1700m races and here we saw a smart performance from the Sean Tarry trained SHENANIGANS. Sent off a strong favourite at 16/10, the son of Dynasty adopted a change of tactics here and raced handy. He put his head in front as they approached the 200m marker and although SHOGUN (had the rest well beaten) threw down a determined challenge over the final 200m, he won with some in hand by a length.

TITBITS

Poorly drawn GIMME A BRAKE NATE was hampered 450m out and then had to switch 200m out when running on from the back end of midfield to fill third position in the maiden juvenile plate over 1400m.

Racing off a mark some 14 points below that of his earlier best, ODD ROB came from the rear when winning the MR67 Handicap over 2400m.

Greyville 7 March Wednesday’s action took place on the poly track where once again the times were relatively slow. A MR88 Handicap topped the bill and a race that might have been run a bit faster, the classy VARALLO registered his third career victory. Always handy, the 3yo Var gelding took up the running 250m out and although FLYING FREE did challenge strongly from there onwards, he did have that one held by three quarters at the wire.

There were five races run over 1400m in total and surprisingly the fastest of these was the maiden plate won by the well supported SOCRATES. Backed into joint favouritism at the track, Shane Humby’s charge was taken straight to the front by Anton Marcus and led throughout. He was visibly cruising during the early part of the race and drew clear in good style to score by four and three quarters when given rein 300m out.

A MR76 Handicap over 1000m brought proceedings to a close and here we saw a comfortable victory for the Visionaire filly WE’RE WATCHING YOU. The fourth winner on the card for jockey Anton Marcus, We’re Watching You raced in midfield during the early part of the race. She ran on best of all in the short home straight and won going away after striking the front 100m out.

TITBITS At the head of affairs throughout, the newcomer PAVAROTTI PASSION was never really asked to race and had a ton in hand when first past the post by a neck in the barrier trial over 1000m.

After being a little slow into stride, lightly raced IRISH MARSH ran on well from the back when a length and three quarter runner up in the maiden plate for the girls over 1400m.

Fairview 9 March The MR80 Handicap over 1000m was comparatively the fastest of the three sprinting events and in what proved to be a real thriller the 3yo KIFTSGATE registered his third career victory.

On leaving the stalls it was DICKENSIAN who elected to make the running whilst Alan Greeff ’s charge sat handy in fourth. The pack began to close in quickly below the distance and in a race where only 0,3 of a length separated the first four home, Kiftsgate got the verdict by a short head.

TITBITS The 50/1 shot SMART SUZY caused a major upset when running on from midfield to win the not so lucky last (a MR76 Handicap) going away.

Positioned third last entering the straight, SILVER GOBLET ran on best of all when getting up late to win the MR68 Handicap over 2000m.

New Kid In Town Turffontein 4 March The going was posted as good to soft on Saturday and the course was running over 2 seconds slow.

In terms of prizemoney three listed events over 1000m topped the bill, the fastest of which was the Storm Bird Stakes won by BOLD EAGLE. He got away well when the gates opened and soon up handy raced prominent throughout. He began to assert his authority going through the 400m and won going away by three and a half.

The pinnacle stakes was the fastest of the three 1160m events and here an upset was to be had when the lessor fancied of Alec Laird’s two runners ROMI’S BOY landed the spoils. Freely available at 18/1 on the off, the 4yo son of Querari was soon up handy. He was headed by the talented GREEN PEPPER shortly after taking up the running 200m out, but fought back gamely below the distance to get the verdict by a neck.

Another classic finish was to be had in the non-black type Egoli Mile won by SOLDIER ON. Positioned in midfield early on, Stuart Pettigrew’s charge ran on stoutly at the business end of the race and got the verdict by a neck over the improving IMFAMOUS FOX. Horses worth following at their next few starts...

TITBITS Five and a half lengths behind the runner up going through the 400m, HUMBLE ADDICT ran on very well from the rear when getting up late to open his account in the boy’s division of the maiden plate over 1160m

Smart Hat-Trick The listed Breeders Guineas for 3yo’s over 1600m topped the bill in Port Elizabeth on Friday and here the visiting LUNA CHILD completed a smart hat-trick. Always handy in what soon became a strung out field, Glen Kotzen’s charge got the better of the front running CLOUD ATLAS 50m out and won well by a half. Runner up QUEEN FOREVER had raced at the back and didn’t find the clearest of passages going through the 200m.

Run in a time 0,6 seconds faster than the feature event was the graduation plate won

by DRAGON FLAME. Sent off third in the betting market at 9/2, the well exposed son of Bezrin also raced close to the speed. He put his head in front 400m out and just had enough in hand to get the verdict by a neck over the running on favourite GREEN LANTERN.

can’t beat a Remembering Classic Flag

I

I’m a graduate of Douglas Adams’ book series Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency and the theory of the interconnectedness of all things. With the Thoroughbred stud book being a closed one, one could argue that it is inevitable for things to be connected, but sometimes they are just a little more connected than most.

n November 2017, a high quality bay galloped to our attention in the Gr2 Dingaans.

It was a great excuse to finally cross off an item on my ‘to do’ list, by having a chat with Alistair Gordon.

I duly interviewed Alistair Gordon and as Monks Hood looked like a nice horse to follow for the season, it made sense to chat to his breeder down at Benmarne Stud, Arne Botha. Arne is one of life’s enthusiastic and thoroughly lovely people and we chatted at length about all sorts of things, including, to my delight, the fact that he had David Ferraris’ 1998 July winner, Classic Flag retired on the farm at the grand age of 23. Being a bit of an evangelist for racehorse aftercare, it always makes me happy to find when one of our stars has had a safe and happy life beyond the track.

A month or so later, Luke Ferraris made his track debut at Scottsville, giving me an excuse to ring up his dad in Hong Kong and get to know him a little better.

Then dear old Monks Hood just kept overachieving, culminating in his sensational Gauteng Guineas win on 3 March, which prompted a round of congratulatory messages and phone calls, including one to Benmarne to wish them well on their wonderful produce. So it was awful to find myself on the phone to the Eastern Cape again just four days later to confirm the news that Classic Flag had passed, peacefully, in his paddock, just a few hours after having his routine farrier and dentist visit.

I composed a hurried summary of Classic Flag’s career highlights – which are pretty awe inspiring – and shared a notice on Facebook, intending to flesh it out with a little editorial later on, but then the post just kept attracting comments, likes and shares, the likes of which I rarely see and I realised there was a bit more to this little bay horse.

Chronicle Of A Champion The Blythe’s inherited Summer Classic from Ormond Ferraris, who had owned her in the Karoo. Standing her to their resident stallion, Allied Flag, in 1994 she produced Classic Flag on Peter and Jenny’s original Clifton Stud, based in Swaziland near Lothair. “The family seemed to nick to Allied Flag,” recalls Peter, noting that a daughter of Summer Classic’s mated to Allied Flag produced Omaha Beach, that wonderful galloper who served Joey Ramsden so grandly until the age of 10.

“I’d often ask the grooms what they saw in the paddocks,” recalls Peter. “One day he’d be at the front

when they ran and other days he wouldn’t. He was always an athletic horse, but wasn’t really a standout in the bunch, to be honest. And he was quite a small horse.” But Classic’s brilliance lay on the inside.

Sale The colt raced in the interests of Professor and Mrs Herbst and Peter chuckles as he recalls the sale. “We had a Breeders Premium in the Transvaal in those days and Professor Herbst had a voucher for R15,000 or so. He was walking around the sale ground muttering and cursing, looking for a Transvaal horse. As we were from the Transvaal, he came round to us. The Ferraris’ obviously knew the family and advised him to buy the horse. My reserve was R20k and he was knocked down for R20k.

Herbst bought him very reluctantly, but R2,25 million later, say no more.

It just shows you that horses don’t know what they cost.”

Peter jokes that David Ferraris’s wife Pam “is a full sister to my wife, Jenny, so the horse stayed in the family, so to speak. We got to see him in the yard before he even started to race and we followed his every move.”

He remembers Prof Herbst being quite robust in his opinions. “After he won his maiden, they entered him in the Transvaal Breeders’ Plate, which was a race for Transvaal horses only. He was hotpot favourite and duly won. In the winner’s box,

Herbst told the interviewer he’d win the Dingaans next. I quaked in my boots thinking ‘Does he know what he’s talking about?’ but he duly won the Dingaans after which he said ‘And now the July!’, he still chuckles at the memory. “But, confident as the man was, he was right.”

Champion 3YO After the Dingaans, Classic Flag won the TAB (OFS) 3yo Stakes at the Vaal and then raided to Cape Town for the Cape Guineas, where he went down a short head to the mighty Jet Master. Piere Strydom was in the irons that day and remembers, “He wasn’t a big horse, you know?

Obviously he had ability and he could travel in a race. He’d always be on the bit, then he’d give you that kick.

I can’t remember how many times I finished 2nd in the Guineas, it’s some ridiculous figure, but I always say when a Joburg horse comes to Cape Town and has to take that left hand turn, they just don’t seem to know where they are and that can cost you in a big race like that. Classic Flag was quite an intelligent little chap, he knew what he wanted to do and how to do it and he adapted quickly. The fact that he finished that close to Jet Master says something.” Although the two parted ways, Piere adds, “We had our fall outs, but always managed to get back to one another.

David knows how to train a horse, he’s a very good trainer. His horses were always in good shape and he’s a good judge, he always knew when a horse was ready to win.”

After the Cape Guineas it was back to the Highveld for the MEC Guineas. This time there was no mistake and they beat Chief Editor

by nearly two lengths.

With Anthony Delpech in the saddle, Classic Flag reversed the Cape Guineas form, beating Jet Master by 1.5 lengths and then headed to Durban. He was second to Flying Duel in the 1998 Daily News 2000, followed up by that Rothmans July triumph, winning as a 3yo from the widest draw.

Stud career Ben Botha purchased him from Prof Herbst and stood ‘Classic’ at his Benmarne Stud in Blue Horizon Bay, producing 13 small crops before being pensioned off in 2015. The story comes full circle as his last foal is currently in training with Ormond Ferraris.

Ormond Ferraris describes Classic Flag as ‘a neat fellow’ and also recounts the story of his purchase.

“It cost him nothing really – how’s that for a bit of luck? He didn’t do badly at stud, but he had limited opportunities. I visited him from time to time – he was a good little chap. He was always very kind and gentle. I’ve got one of his progeny in now with the same temperament.

Let’s hope he can do something.”

Final Years

Classic Flag was treasured by the Botha family for the remainder of his life. As befitted a champion of his Big Win calibre, he lived his days in a large Anthony Delpech, who collected paddock of lush green grass and his first July sash on Classic Flag, remained his kind, gentle self until says “All I can say is he’s one of the his very last day.

SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 16th - SUNDAY 18th MARCH 2018

C

Code (A P Indy), Australian Gr2 winning sire Puissance De Lune (Shamardal), and outstanding filly Rizeena (Iffraaj). The latter captured both the Gr1 Moyglare Stud Stakes and Coronation Stakes during her racing career. Serena’s Song’s Gr2 Gulfstream Park Handicap winning son Harlington sired the Breeders’ Cup F&M Sprint winning daughter Wavell Avenue.

The name of former Cape based stallion Northfields, who was exported to South Africa in the 1980’s and died in South Africa in 1993, continues to appear in pedigrees around the world.

hampion broodmare sire in Britain in 1992, Northfields proved almost as outstanding a broodmare sire as his half-brother Habitat, who was Champion Broodmare Sire in Britain on 3 occasions and one of the best broodmare sires of the 20th century.

While Northfields never emulated his half-brother as a broodmare sire of English Derby winners (Habitat mares produced the Derby winners Reference Point and Shaamit), he nonetheless proved himself an exceptional broodmare sire in his own right.

Northfields, who left behind more than 40 stakes winners as a sire, is officially responsible for at least 169 stakes winners as a broodmare sire. Among the notable runners produced by Northfields mares were champions St Jovite (Pleasant Colony), Kooyonga (Persian Bold), Paradise Creek (Irish River), Indian Lodge (Grand Lodge), Basic Instinct (Comic Blush) and Circle Of Life (Complete Warrior).

Northfields mares did particularly well when mated to Pleasant Colony, with the mating resulting in St Jovite and Gr1 winners Forbidden Apple and Denon.Northfields is also found in the pedigree of multiple Gr1 winner David Junior –a son of Pleasant Colony’s champion Pleasant Tap. Gr1 Turf Classic winner Wild Event (Wild Again), one of 3 Gr1 winners produced by the Northfields mare North Of Eden, has proved a top class sire in Brazil and is sire of US Gr1 winners Double Trouble (Santa Maria Hcp) and Fluke (Citation Hcp) to name but two.

Big Strikes

Major races won by runners out of Northfields mares include the French Derby, Gold Cup, Irish 1000 Guineas, Eclipse Stakes, Santa Anita Oaks, San Juan Capistrano, Arlington Million, Washington D C, Coronation Stakes (at least twice), Irish Derby, French 1000 Guineas, Haskell Invitational, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, Oak Leaf Stakes, and Moyglare Stud Stakes.

Major South African races to fall to runners out of mares by Northfields include the J&B Met, Garden Province Stakes, Champions

Cup (at least twice), Summer Cup and Cape Fillies Guineas.

The most recent Gr1 winner produced from a daughter of the son of Northern Dancer was last season’s Champions Cup hero Sail South (Sail From Seattle). Northfields is also damsire of deceased star SA broodmare Nacarat (Pas De Quoi), who is dam of Gr1 winning young sire Red Ray (Western Winter) and 2018 Gr2 Khaya Stables Diadem Stakes winner Bishop’s Bounty (Western Winter).

Northfields also has made his presence felt in Australasia, thanks to the likes of Field Nymph, Betty Box and Life At Last- the latter being full sisters.

Field Nymph left behind 13 winners, including the Gr1 winners Just A Dancer (Sydney Cup) and Field Dancer (New Zealand Stakes).

Betty Box is ancestress of numerous Gr1 winners, headed by Turffontein, Penny Gem, Hit The Roof and Precious Gem, while her full-sister Life At Last has also made a generous contribution “Down Under”. Betty Box is also fourth dam of Karavali, winner of Saturday’s Gr3 Aspiration Quality. Among the numerous stars descended from Life At Last are Gr1 Blue Diamond Stakes winning sire Reward For Effort (Exceed And Excel), and the Golden Slipper winning filly Overreach (Exceed And Excel), high class US Gr3 winner Hoofit (Mossman) and South African Gr3 based millionaires Rich Girl (Rock Of Gibraltar) and Brazuca (Teofilo).

Roland Gardens

Another high class daughter of Northfields was Anjuli (dam of multiple Gr1 winning champion Kooyonga). The ½ sister to Cape sire and 2000 Guineas winner Roland Gardens also left her mark through her daughters at stud, her produce including SA champion and Gr1 SA Classic winner Kundalini (El Gran Senor), and she is ancestress of group/graded winners Balance The Books (Lemon Drop Kid), Diamond Diva (Dansili), Experience (Excellent Art), and Vengence (Black Sam Bellamy).

Northfields is broodmare sire of 1991 French 1000 Guineas winner Danseuse De Soir (Thatching) and his name is also found in the pedigree of 2017 French 1000 Guineas heroine Precieuse (Tamayuz). His

Classic Winner

Northfields Ribblesdale Stakes runner up North Forland is the ancestress of Precieuse, as well as high class group/graded stakes winners Scottish, Volochine, and Dewhurst Stakes/2000 Guineas runner up Massaat. From the same family as leading local sire Elliodor, Northfields’ daughter Elizabeth Drake is another mare to have left a lasting legacy. Dam of Australian Gr1 winner and sire Northern Drake, Elizabeth Drake is granddam

of Charity Mile hero Seattle Ice (Xaar) and is also second dam of South African based broodmare Woodstock Inn. Imagining (Northfields) left her mark through her champion daughter and outstanding producer Serena’s Song - dam of Gr1 winner Sophisticat, among others. Today, the name of Imagining can be found in the pedigrees of US champion and dual Gr1 winner Honor

Northfields is also broodmare sire of former Cape Fillies Guineas winner Field Flower, whose son Last Winter (Western Winter) was a close second in the 2018 Gr1 Sun Met. Champion Circle Of Life - one of 3 Gr1 winners produced by Northfields’ daughter Teclafields - is dam of 2017 G1 Champions Challenge hero Deo Juvente (Trippi).

Northfields also appears in the pedigrees of South African sires Noble Tune (Unbridled’s Song) (Noble Tune being a descendant of Serena’s Song) and Pathfork (Distorted Humor), as well as in the pedigrees of close relatives, and Gr1 winning champions, Spinning World (sire of champion New Zealand sire Thorn Park) and Aldebaran (Mr Prospector). The latter made his mark at stud through champion Main Sequence, winner of the 2014 Breeders’ Cup Turf and second to Camelot in the 2012 G1 Investec Derby.

Interestingly several high class runners have been inbred to Little Hut, dam of Habitat and Northfields.

The list includes dual Gr1 winner Indian Lodge and Atavus, winner of the Gr3 Hungerford Stakes.

Incidentally Little Hut, dam of Northfields and Habitat, is sixth dam of this season’s smart 3yo Wonderwall.
