Trippi Colt Leaves Them Stranded
The prospect of Justin Snaith sending out a 22-1 winner of any Guineas in the country sounds relatively far-fetched on any average day

The prospect of Justin Snaith sending out a 22-1 winner of any Guineas in the country sounds relatively far-fetched on any average day
Beach Beauty retired at the end of the 2014 season and is now booked to the Duke Of Marmalade for her first season at stud
Saturday’s Vodacom Durban July meeting at Greyville confirmed a few likely Equus Award winners for the 2013-2014 season.
The record books suggest that Beach Beauty is the first racer in history to successfully defend the Gr 1 Paddock Stakes, the Gr 2 Drill Hall Stakes and the Garden Province Stakes titles, all in the same season
Of all the equine talents showcasing their skills and brilliance on Vodacom Durban July day, there is one that will be instantly recognisable to most present. Her name is Beach Beauty, a champion mare. She returns in search of a successful defence of her R750 000 Gr1 Garden Province Stakes title at her fourth July day appearance
It goes without saying that the Dynasty mare Beach Beauty is a superbly talented racer. But the jockeyship of Sean Cormack played a major role in her winning the R350 000 Gr2 Drill Hall Stakes run at Greyville on Saturday, for the second year in a row.
The visiting Cape trainers have taken KZN by storm and ten of the fourteen runners in Sunday’s R150 000 Gr3 Poinsettia Stakes at Clairwood are genuine out–of–towners.
The 2014 J&B race meeting was a triumph for locally bred stallions. All three of the day’s Gr1 winners were sired by SA bred stallions.
The outstandingly brilliant Dynasty mare Beach Beauty scored her fifteenth win and her fourth Gr1 victory when she overcame the odds of a poor draw to win the R1 million Klawervlei Gr1 Majorca Stakes at Kenilworth on Saturday. The champion put the cherry on the top of a memorable summer for her trainer Dennis Drier and regular pilot, Sean Cormack.
An outstanding field of our best fillies and mares will face the starter in the Gr1 Majorca Stakes. Could there be a pretender to her throne?
Ironically, it was a colt which provided Alan with a first Gr1 success, this being Alec and Gillian Foster’s homebred Cereus, who landed the 2001 Gold Cup at Hollywoodbets Greyville, his victory completing a momentous double on the day, with the Gr2 Golden Slipper having gone the way of juvenile filly Tatler, a great-great-great grandaughter of Sun Lass!
JP van der Merwe is not the only guilty party in the matter. In simple terms, he is the only rider to have exercised the NHA’s offer of an Acknowledgement Of Guilt and moved on with his life
Andrew Fortune made it three winners on the Family Day public holiday as Tenango breezed home to win the Gr3 feature
The son of Master Of My Fate will likely side-step stablemate Eight On Eighteen in the Daily News and go via the Greyville 1900 and Cup Trial into the big one on 5 July
