Mike Bass’ Trippi gelding Night Trip can run when he is in the mood. He showed a fancy for the polytrack when flying up late to win the R150 000 Listed The Darley Arabian run over a mile at Greyville on Super Saturday
Punters showed how clever they are by installing her an 11 to 10 favourite as she faced some local hard-knockers over a mile – a trip one is inclined to think would be some way short of her optimum.
The Dorrie Sham-trained Doowaley mare La Salle is a model of consistency and she was rewarded with a long overdue fifth win when scoring an impressive victory in the R100 000 Wedgewood Handicap
He came into the feature with a four-way coupling and punters went in boots and all for the Summerhill Stud bred Muhtafal gelding Topostwego, who had shown excellent turf feature collateral down in KZN
Billed as the clash of the jets, the R350 000 Gr2 Gold Bracelet run over 2000m at Greyville on Saturday did not let enthusiasts down as two top-class daughters of Jet Master went hammer and tongs to the line
The progressive Dynasty colt Futura has cocked a snoot at his detractors in the best way possible. His facile victory in Saturday’s R1 million Gr1 Beach Beauty Champions Cup at Greyville spoke louder than any words and finally laid to rest any doubt that he is anything but first class material with a bright future ahead of him.
Extraordinarily, the Listed Umngeni was to be her first and last stakes victory but her connections will take the bonus with both hands. Particularly after part-owner Lindy White had to resort to ‘bullying’ to get the affable Dennis Drier to run her one last time
The improved again Silvano gelding Wavin’ Flag stormed to victory in the R1 ,25 million Gold Cup despite only ever having won his maiden and a modest lowly-rated handicap previously
Lafferty has been preaching the merits of Harry’s Son for some months and after running on in three consecutive feature race thirds, the 2yo colt by Coolmore stallion Haradasun looked to be emigrating to Excuseville…
KZN Yearling Sale Million winner Same Jurisdiction proved that her big July payday was no flash in the pan when she stayed on powerfully to pip Carry On Alice in Gr1 Thekwini Stakes
For reasons known only to her, Luna De Victoria lugged right across her field taking Extra Zero and Lady Tatty with her in the process. But she won going away in the end…
It is eerie to think that there would have been no Siren’s Call, Sound Of Warning, or for that matter Call To Unite, had fate not decreed that Enchanted Cove follow her dam to South Africa, and that Peter de Beyer had the foresight to return Elusive Fort back home from the States as well!
