Rabada, expected to start favourite for the Cartier Politician Stakes at Kenilworth on Saturday, had his travel delayed by administrative veterinary problems and only arrived in Cape Town on Wednesday, writes Michael Clower.
Racing manager Derek Brugman said yesterday: “I would caution the racing public about this because we don’t know what to expect.
The horse is fit and well, and is over his pharyngitis, but he would have had an extra day to recover if he travelled when he should have done – and an extra day’s recovery can mean a hell of a lot.”
