Hollywoodbets Durban July – Rough Stuff, But Crawford Does It Again!
These are the current objection rules
Oriental Charm showed real courage as Flag man who ran his heart out seemed to head him at one stage
If you had watched how he won his last race he gallop the opposition silly and wasn't stopping
So you saying they must take
July away from him and put SIA in 4th and OC 5th, rules got it

Well done - as I've been writing here for weeks - this horse since going over ground has been the real deal.
GWE with his racing style was never going to win the July - never - well done to the bookies again.
What a difference a year makes - Cousin Casey being scratched from the July last

My 2 cents...Why push Flagman in the gallops prior to main race. Would have won.

My Brother,
thank you so much. yes its been a long time. Absent through distance but forever close through our young days. Not many will know what Royal Paintique meant to the community. Your mom and dad. Brother and family. All awesome.
Of course then Ganymede comes along. All of a sudden one of "us" own a horse. It's not just the great people like Mr Jaffee and Mr Beck (and many others) all of a sudden it's the local's and I'd like to say that played a part in my dream. 2024 and the 1st Group 1 with a filly that could easily have been brought up in Regents Park. Humdinger is one tough cookie. She would have held her own at The Hill High (if you don't know what that means then it matters not)
A community of immigrants, struggling, hustling. A school made up of so many cultures. Truly unique. Jewish, English, Afrikaans, Greek, Italian, Lebanese, Cypriot, Dutch, Porra's and Im not talking about 1 or 2 of each, we were well represented. The original United Nations.
Again Humdinger is exactly that, she is tenacious , gracious but most of all she is loyal.
Thank you Deon. See you soon my
