26 Gr1 Winners Set For Sha Tin Feast Of World-Class Racing
Ka Ying Rising is a phenominally fast horse with incredible acceleration, from what I've seen in his race replays.
Will take a superstar to beat him in the HK sprint .

Pure Predator's got the tough draw at 16 mr ed, Purple Pitcher is at 8.
Got confused between the two PP's lots of times myself 🤣 .
They ran first and second in the SA Derby, if not mistaken

Now that the weights have been announced, I'm giving some serious thought to Selwyn Elk's roughie for the SC, Purple Pitcher (as disclosed amongst other opinions in the Off the Record series by Charl Pretorius). Nice weight, nice draw, could be one for quartets.
The stable was quiet for a while, but came to light with 2 winners recently, always a good sign.
The last female trainers to saddle SC winners were Jean Heming and Anne Upton (as far as I recall), back in the '80s/'90s.
So pehaps Robyn Klaassen could repeat the feat for mr Stinky Pooe in the 'modern era'.

Hello Rian, hope all is well
Like your fancy, and Gavin the hot Jock at the moment, 57 Kg ... Big Chance
Upset Hotarubi
Yes, Pick 6 on the day, a brave smaller one with a banker or 3
The other one % and load a few.
Closer to the time, we'll look at the other races
and share a few before the races 🙂
I would love for Main Defender to run a big race, after all another ex Natal horse, but 2000, not for me. Might have a few more in front than behind.
Jock selection a surprise, Norman Fago is a well informed man
But that's our lovely game of racing, win a little, lose more 🙂

My take on the Summer Cup is straightforward, very few very good horses in JHB at present
The two KZN visitors stick out like sore thumbs with Royal Victory to humble the opposition again , if only Racheal was given the chance she might have won but alas we will never know
He seems to thrive once she gets on board and he was a little upset after she dismounted in the winners enclosure
Strydom has enough excuses
I must also just add that Main Defender looked the best I've seen him in a while striding down beautifully in his last race
Pick 6 the way to
