The 2013 Charity Turf Challenge kicked off with the scintillating performance of, Beach Beauty, the Dennis Drier trained daughter of Dynasty.
Beach Beauty bounced back fresh off her Met run to win the R350 000 Gr2 Drill Hall Stakes
The R350 000 Gr2 Drill Hall Stakes has attracted a field of fifteen runners, many of whom are using this event as their stepping stone to other things.
Dynasty’s daughter Beach Beauty set herself up for a big assault on the J&B Met with a great win in the Gr1 Maine Chance Farms Paddock Stakes
The boys got a galloping lesson in the R300 000 Gr2 Calulo Services Premier Trophy run at Kenilworth on Saturday
LANCE BENSON: Nothing quite rivals the J&B Met for the pure racing and social experience. The brand is so strong in fact, that despite the inevitable tinkering and tweaking, it remains a winner
It was undoubtedly Igugu’s presence that saw the prestigious Gr1 Paddock Stakes for mares and fillies, receive just eleven entries, only seven of which initially stood their ground
Beach Beauty stepped beyond 1600m for the first time and it took to it like the proverbial duck to water when easily landing the Gold Bracelet over 2000m at Greyville on Sunday.
Beach Beauty and Emerald Cove are the only three-year-olds in a field of nine for the Gold Bracelet over 2000m at Greyville on Sunday.
The number of entries compares favourably in quantum with recent years, with 58 first entries received in 2024, 60 in 2023, 68 in 2022, 53 in 2021, 52 in 2020, 49 in 2019, and 69 in 2018
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
