Saturday Abandoned – Cape Racing Amend Fixtures

You did say --All Weather tracks-- did you not.
Durban track is not raced on in All Weather.
So should not help Cape Town
Any case listen to what Mr. Bortz says about laying another track in Cape

I agree with Michael that our current crop of top jocks are soft. They will never venture into wet weather for fear of getting wet and muddied. They are not of the same callibre of roberts Coetzee Sutherland cave schoeman macaskill Hayden amos; I could go on and on. With a few exceptions of the likes of yeni and

The HKJC Gr1 Champions Cup – A Vintage Renewal!

Frankie Zackey... It was well documented that See It Again was not spot on for the July,, he got into trouble on 2 occasions plus now a huge swing around in his favor as far as weights are concerned and knowing that his ultimate trip is between 1800m and 2000m,,looks hard to beat but extremely hard to beat,,especially if See It Again has taken the July run well.. Only danger would be Dave The King,, sharp move by MDK to skip the

Not sure where to post this but it is so frustrating when you prepare for months for a race and then you crack the worst draw on a turning course. One of your readers mentioned a few weeks ago that the Mercury Sprint should be run on a straight course like Scottsville. It was run for years at Clairwood. I know there is also track bias down the straight of most courses. However , Lucky Lad, as an example, to end up at barrier position 13 in this years Mercury Sprint just takes the gloss off the race in my

James Don't hold your breath. I agree but it might take a while to action. I would love to know what the general consensus is amongst the Cape Trainers. Justin is certainly not a fan of poly surfaces. Rightly or wrongly. One has to respect his opinion as SA Champion trainer year in year
