TAB customers must please note that because only seven races are carded for today’s Hollywoodbets Durbanville race meeting, both the Bipot and Place Accumulator will start in Race 1 at 13:35.

Details of the major multi-race bets at the meeting: Bipot (RACES 1-6); Place Accumulator (RACES 1-7); Pick 6 (RACES 2-7); Jackpot One (RACES 3-6); Jackpot Two (RACES 4-7).

Trainer Dean Kannemeyer saddes Ponte Pietra in Race 4 and he is the possible Pick 6 banker. He produced a promising debut effort over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville.

He lost a length at the start, but the manner in which he finished off his race caught the eye. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. The son of Vercingetorix would have strengthened up during his time off the track and in this type of field, he should shed his maiden tag.

Enchanted Creek from the Andries Steyn yard takes her place in the lucky last. She should have won her last start over 1600m on this course as she had no luck in the straight.

It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. She meets a similar type of field and from pole position, she can notch up her second career victory.

The Inspiring Story Of Dr Marianne Thomson

‘I am writing this as an older, small breeder and in our language, Markus, because this is our war. If I phoned you, I’d be overwhelmed by business jargon within a minute. What makes you so angry that you don’t care what you are doing to our shaky industry? How do you deal with this in your inner, quiet self?’
