With Jet Master reclaiming his sires title, here are possible candidates for the Outstanding Stallion award
Billed as the clash of the jets, the R350 000 Gr2 Gold Bracelet run over 2000m at Greyville on Saturday did not let enthusiasts down as two top-class daughters of Jet Master went hammer and tongs to the line
Had she stayed at home she would have had to contend with the super smart looking Act Of War over a mile at Kenilworth on Saturday for substantially lesser stakes. So in the end, it made lots of good sense to hit the high road for higher rewards
The Gr1 sprint brought the curtain down on 93 years of feature racing action at one of South Africa’s prime racecourses, and but for one last meeting which will host the Asian Young Guns Challenge on Saturday 2 August, that is tragically it
Trainer Geoff Woodruff’s disappointment at the brush off of his smart Jet Master gelding Master Sabina by the Vodacom Durban July panel was given plenty of momentum when Master Sabina won the consolation race in style
The legendary Northern Dancer has dominated the runnings of the Vodacom Durban July since the 1990’s. Of the 16 runners for this year’s running of South Africa’s most celebrated horse-race, 13 are inbred to the mighty stallion.
Young jockey bounces back from injury and a shocking fall two weeks ago to ride a treble and credits his famous father for assisting him
An enviable array of choices face the connections of the Jet Master filly In The Fast Lane after her outstanding Gr1 Woolavington win. Whether it’s straight into the July or an international campaign, she remains one of the best of her year and beat some big names to clinch this victory
Trainer Justin Snaith: “She will probably run in the Oaks, even though I disagree that they have made it an open race. For us the Oaks and the Derby are for 3 yo’s. It hardly seems fair.”
This fellow looks something very special. A longstriding handsome son of Jet Master, he won this Gr1 contest with a stamp of authority and Gold Circle will be hoping that he heads Durban way for a tilt at the riches of Champions Season
Glen Kotzen’s Jet Master filly opens KZN account in fine style and could be a force to be reckoned with in champions season
