Milestone for young jock and a hat trick for trainer and owner with a glorious double for super sire
Punters may have taken their eye off the ball after the withdrawal of the brilliant Majmu during the week. But it just goes to show again that we should never discount the power of the Mike De Kock string
What a filly. The daughter of Var has never missed banking a cheque in all of her sixteen starts and her winning ways in her chestnut coat and the signature big white blaze have elevated her to a darling of the racing public. She looks destined to win many more
Klawerveli stallion Seventh Rock produced his first Gr1 winner from his first crop at Scottsville on Saturday in a race that he won himself as a 2yo. There was plenty of celebration as the winning owner, trainer and jockey have also all been there before.
Trainer Justin Snaith: “She will probably run in the Oaks, even though I disagree that they have made it an open race. For us the Oaks and the Derby are for 3 yo’s. It hardly seems fair.”
There really appears no end to the Dynasty phenomenon. The Highlands stallion has another top sort in Brett Crawford’s Futura who gave his rivals a hiding when winning the supporting feature at Greyville on Friday
Trainer Mike De Kock and the Vodacom Durban July selection panel have not exactly always seen eye to eye. Espumanti’s victory in the Gr2 Betting World 1900 may have opened a few old wounds but nobody can deny that this was very impressive indeed
Selected by the same man that chose Variety Club and owned by some serious internationally influential racing folk, the high quality Kingvoldt looks to have the world at his feet
Former Justin Snaith trained daughter of Silvano becomes first filly in sixteen years to win Africa’s oldest sponsored race in front of a large crowd at Borrowdfale Park
Cape challenger outstays his opponents to win East Cape Derby on a day of prawns and record breaking attendance at Fairview
Glen Kotzen’s up and coming young stayer Alexander takes his next step towards a tilt at the 2014 Gold Cup with a resounding late dash win in the Highland Night Cup
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!
