The only Graded point scoring feature over the past week was the Gr3 Jubilee Handicap, run at Turffontein on Sunday.
The field of eight included a few VDJ hopefuls who had one last chance to impress. However, the race turned out to be a one horse show with the 3 year old son of Greys Inn, Legal Eagle (SAF), winning easily.
He smashed the opposition with a superb performance over 1800m and his followers (583 selections) in the competition must now be excited about his chances in Africa’s Premier Horseracing event on 4 July.
