Three Gr3 Races At Turffontein Today

Jackpot 1 starts in the fifth race at 14h50

Racing takes place at Turffontein this afternoon and a nine-race programme is scheduled.

There are three Grade 3 races on the day including the Three Troikas Stakes, Tony Ruffel Stakes and the London News Stakes.

The first race is due off at 12h30.

Gavin Lerena rides Namib Desert for the Paul Peter stable in Race 2.

Jimmy The Rich writes Namib Desert from the Paul Peter stable is the best bet on the day. He produced an eye-catching debut effort over this course and distance.

He lost a length at the start, but challenged strongly all the way to the line. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked.

The son of Silvano would have come on with the experience under the belt and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should take a power of beating.

After two successful meetings, Ashley Fortune sends out Validu for owner Mario Ferreira. He caught the eye when running on from last in his latest effort.

It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The son of Dynasty should love the step up in distance today and can get back to winning ways.

Validus will be racing with a tongue tie on today.

The false rail is 3,5m on the back straight to 10,5m on the bend, with a 10,5m spur at the 700m mark.

  • The Bipot starts in the second at 13h05
  • The Place Accumulator starts in the third at 13h40
  • The Pick 6 starts in the fourth at 14h15
  • Jackpot 1 starts in the fifth race at 14h50

The Inspiring Story Of Dr Marianne Thomson

‘I am writing this as an older, small breeder and in our language, Markus, because this is our war. If I phoned you, I’d be overwhelmed by business jargon within a minute. What makes you so angry that you don’t care what you are doing to our shaky industry? How do you deal with this in your inner, quiet self?’
