Joey Ramsden’s Variety Club once again asserted his status as South Africa’s top miler with a brilliant win in the Gr1 Rising Sun Gold Challenge.
Trainer Sean Tarry dominated the Gr3 Cup Trial with a clever tactical move that saw him claim the first and second cheques. Anton Marcus piloted Gold Onyx to a narrow win.
Joey Ramsden registered his seventh Langerman win in twelve runnings on Sunday. That is a story of dominance and planning, and the great thing is that these juveniles train on!
The wrong one for punters! Mike De Kock grabbed the first two cheques in the Gr1 Woolavington 2000. But the wrong way around for most punters with a 50-1 shot beating the odds-on favourite.
Dean Kannemeyer has not seen the Gold Cup since 2000 when his filly Colonial Girl won it. He took a step closer though to lifting the prestigious staying race this year, when Blake won the Gr3 Lonsdale Stirrup Cup at Greyville on Saturday
The 3-10 favourite Jackson hit the headlines in the Gr1 Daily News 2000 at Greyville today. The son of Dynasty strode to an emphatic win, but his participation in the Gr1 Vodacom Durban July is not guaranteed.
Camelot and St Nicholas Abbey gave owners Coolmore, trainer Aidan O’Brien and jockey son Joseph, a spectacular day at Epsom on Saturday 2 June
Justin Snaith capitalised on an average line-up of three year olds, to win the Tekkie Town Gr3 Winter Classic at Kenilworth on Sunday 27 May
It was an emotional moment for trainer Charles Laird as Anton Marcus brought the three year old Delago Deluxe through for a great win in the Gr1 Golden Horse Casino Sprint at Scottsville on Saturday.
Pure brilliance. That’s the Jet Master filly Ebony Flyer who bounced back after four months off to win the Gr1 SA Fillies Sprint at Scottsville on Saturday.
Potent Power looks a shrewd buy at R200 000 after his top-class win in the Gr1 Tsogo Sun Gold Medallion at Scottsvile on Saturday.
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!
There’s lots more to play for!
