Fairview – R3 Million Pick 6 Pool Expected Today
What's with S'manga Khumalo giving long lectures in the winning enclosure during every winning interview?! Not a word before the race, but then a 5 to 10 minute speech after the

The Durban July – 21st Century Magic
According to some, after checking the photo finish,the judges took 12 minutes to finally declare El Picha the winner of the 2000 July
Officially the time was given as 7 minutes.
And after that we were told by the powers that be that the days of a deadheat in South African horse racing was over/no more.
We were told the judges could separate horses by the thickness of cigarette paper using new equipment
Seems the new equipment was a

Jockey Sandile Khathi Suspended
Very dangerous, indeed. Haven't checked if he has rides in the Durban July. If so, I suppose he misses out. Very disappointing from an otherwise good

Flag Man Catches Eye At Big Race Gallops
Having just watched the post-gallops interviews I have to question why Justin Snaith and Andre Nel were nastily critical of local jockeys. I do follow racing worldwide, and despite the win against a very weak Met field, in my mind Daniel Muscutt is no better than at least seven or eight local jocks. If he finishes in the top 10 with Double Superlative, I'll be very surprised! Zac Lloyd is a budding superstar and would've been a better choice if they were looking overseas for better jockeys.
In fact, Snaith was on the defensive and also having a go at other trainers who were galloping their July charges against "lead horses". Even with the weight advantage and Fourie, I'm confident none of his three will beat Flag

TCO2 Testing – SA Racing’s Road To Damascus Moment
All good George , sad that the Sea Cottage incident has never been completely understood and with the years running along at a good click it appears the narrative will pass into history with just the gist of the exact facts as they unfolded over those two months in 1966 before that July Handicap ironically won by his stablemate Java Head

Even with the dark TCO2 cloud hanging over this year's event, one can't shake off five decades of habit and not be excited about the July.
My only hope is that it is incident

Jockey Sandile Khathi Suspended
Was Mr Khathi not the jockey who was penalized for presenting a tampered with urine sample a few months ago, for which he was given a 365 day suspended sentence? And now he has transgressed with a similar (though not exactly the same) offense again? What happens

100% correct. Cape form is so strong that one could send the Cape trainers' stable pony to Johannesburg and KZN and still win! Most "chuck-outs" from the Cape that go to Eastern Cape become champions

TCO2 Testing – SA Racing’s Road To Damascus Moment
Sorry to say -quite naive to infer that in form trainers must be up to something, it is always the case that stables go hot and cold, the reasons can be many. To correlate positive TCO's to anything is risky as the testing has been deemed flawed by jurisdictions who applied it way longer than the time the NHA have, so no value in whatever you may have determined. Did you believe the big "Pharma's as well that the vaccine would prevent covid spreading?
Next problem is that you fail to see the effect the flawed system has had on a trainer's reputation nor the cost to them and the owners- nothing more to say than be objective. Happy for L&O to be the winner - but they are a Law unto themselves. And no order will prevail if they cannot recognize the damage to us punters and owners & trainers they are causing, they are putting the foot on the gas when the majority of their customers are

So Mr. Ed are you saying if the test comes back 35 36 or what ever is a fail now and trainer says let me see the NHA says you must be joking.
Just trust us. You do trust us don't

The Durban July – 21st Century Magic
As the Hollywoodbets Durban July day looms, the TCO2 crisis is also hanging like a dark cloud over the industry, surely a quick fix solution is needed for the day to avert international embarrassment, potential protests and riot and overall dampener on the day.
The NHA should announce a stop gap measure for the day. The top 5 finishers in every race will be tested immediately after the running of each race. Any horse found over the limit should be immediately disqualified but the result will stand for payout purposes. Additional punitive measures should include forfeiture of any stakes money, and a suspension for the horse. A fine for the trainer could also apply.
This could be enough of a deterant for would be "milkshakers" to cease and desist any
