Racing will make a welcome return to Kenilworth on 28 October 2017 where a total of 34 entries have been received for the day’s 3yo male feature, the R250 000 Gr3 Cape Classic.
The high class Act Of War – Cape Classic winner in 2014
Joey Ramsden has won the race three out of the last four runnings and he has a powerful sextet entered, headed by the exciting Oratorio colt, Ancestry. The Avontuur-bred galloper has not seen action since going down a short head to Eyes Wide Open in the Gr1 Premiers Champion Stakes on the final weekend of last term.
Ancestry is pipped by Purple Diamond in the Gr2 Golden Horseshoe
He previously ran a close second to Purple Diamond in the Gr2 Golden Horseshoe and looks a Guineas and Derby candidate at this stage of the game.
Fourteen of the entries are up-country based horses and it’s good to see a rare visitor to these parts in KZN-based Dennis Bosch on the list. The former jockey has entered the unbeaten-from-two starts Silvano livewire Billy Silver. The exciting colt has waltzed home at his only two outings over the Scottsville 1200m.
