Van Zyl Bomb Steps Up Again

Oh Ok, so for the regional trainers title it is only for winners in the that specific province. In other words the winners, that Gavin Van Zyl has had in the Western Cape for example, don't count for the KZN

Breathtaking Richard!

Richard must have flown thousands of kilometres this season.
World Hall of Fame golfer and race horse breeder/owner Gary Player is estimated to be the most travelled athlete of all times, at some 26 million kilometres.
Goodness me.

Hi Sagren

The championship title is based on statistics excluding restricted races earnings.
The totals you reference are those including restricted races.

Hope that explains it.

I am confused. The TAB4Racing website stats has Justin at R25,098,100 and Sean at R20, 224,762. This means that Justin is R4, 873,338 ahead if Sean. Why the difference between this number and the R1,2m referred to in the

Top-Selling Yearling Makes Debut At Turffontein

Thank you Mr Ed, for printing this article. Mr Ed the 5 rand so call have such humor and charisma about them, my nickname back then was 6 to 10 given by a group of punters and up to now it was said about my height and not the horse

I was told when I met someone in the family that Barty Leisher's wife Lynn used to do this work. She left many years ago though, so I'm not sure why blame is being placed elsewhere when we know the NHA is responsible. Either way surely the NHA team should know and check the stats daily even if GC is uploading. This is Hazel K's department, how about a comment from her Mr

The sport of kings and queens both on the turf and on the parade rings as well as on the grand stands as patrons and enthusiasts of racing..probably thee most important order of merits after the animals being horses themselves..the next hero's and heroines are the owners ...jockeys and trainers then come the punters and the general public ...my opinion is that the little punters that keep the sport going for years are 5 rand punters that hold the sport in high esteem...but unfortunately those has been relegated to behind rails of demarcation without any recognition of their effort ...in them horse racing is lively hood and entertainment...bravo I must say for the recognition of the groom's ..South African racing faces a future no one knows where it will go...but the vision must be greater than influencer paparazzi marketing frenzy that only come once in big occasion and neglect the preparation journey when the main athlete being the horse needs same attention and frenzy to get used to the occasions of when the rich and elite descends to the grandstands of historic RSA turfs when the mainstays who never hold any nickel will be relegated to the back of the pages without any voice whatsoever if at all they can even afford a ticket to go through ...racing has neglected these fanatics and only when Betway and Hollywood and likes came to the fire...was at least punters recognised and that's not politicking but facts ...I believe that is where the sport need to even have a... read more

This is a difficult discussion...
Who should take the blame for this sorry state of affairs..?
Owners
Trainers or.....??, are they like our politicians...MONEY HUNGRY at the expense of the remain @ home boys/girls who do the dirty work.?
My bone of contention was when Rachel did all the dirty work on See It Again only to be taken off for someone else...
She brushed it off...proper young lady she is..

WOW B.Botes,,, this interview is so wrong at so many levels.
I doubt that your information is anything but data capturing with some local updating,, all info is ALREADY so well researched and tested and thus just a bit of tweaking with local knowledge hardly puts you in the punting lines of JF.
Big name mentions is despate oilskin sales,,,
how many people have been under bidders,, COME ON
Wishing you well,, but let the % show after so many years at it

Surely Moodley and his team are paid to ensure the information they produce is true and correct. Why are they having to be told to check their numbers. by the public. They should never be wrong. Pathetic excuses. Typical racing industry. Strange how they can never answer any dividend query sufficiently, and let's not even think about the

Yes Cecil I also read that article, David Thiselton compares the chances of the Tarry entries versus those of Snaith on Gold Cup day.
Another interesting angle when looking at whether Sean can make up the leeway on Justin, is that Richard Fourie rides for both stables - so Richie may play a role in how events unfold.
SA racing is never without a little bit of drama!
