Act Of War has the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate on January 9 as his main target for the Cape Town season
The masterful trainer wrote another personal chapter in the South African horseracing history books at Kenilworth on Sunday when he saddled the winners of two colts’ Guineas within the space of twenty four hours
Day of glory for Joey Ramsden and owners Ingrid and Markus Jooste as Dynasty colt Act Of War reaffirms his status as the SA champion 3yo. The world is his oyster and there cannot be a more exciting horse on the African continent right now!
A classic to sort the national needle out for once and for all. The R1 million Grand Parade Gr1 Cape Guineas at Kenilworth today has all the ingredients of a sellout. Local champion Act Of War squares up to KZN’s jet-setting Aussie, Harry’s Son and Trippi’s wealthy undefeated Zambezi River, from Gauteng
Who can recall when last such genuine heartfelt horseracing related emotion was felt on a scale witnessed at Kenilworth on Saturday? The outstanding Dynasty colt Act Of War had just nominated himself as a likely Cape Guineas favourite with a scintillating victory in the R400 000 Gr2 Selangor Cup but his big moment was simply overshadowed by the great jockey on his back

The win would have been tinged with some disappointment though as the yard’s smart colt, and punter’s favourite Kingvoldt, ran a dismal race
A superb confidence boosting Gold Challenge win will give trainer Joey Ramsden plenty of positivity as he is set to saddle his eighth Langerman winner in the 21st century when he sends a quartet of runners to post for the Gr3 Langerman at Kenilworth today
Oh Susanna and her stakes winning paddock pals are not only continuing to add to the burgeoning Drakenstein trophy cabinet through their progeny, they are also establishing powerful female dynasties which should serve the stud well in years to come
Some 23 years after booting home his first victory in August 2002 at Clairwood Park, Sean Veale reached the milestone of his first century of winners in a season at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Wednesday
A lifetime racing fan from Kuils River in the Cape banked the R710 000 all-or-nothing jackpot prize in the ever popular Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge at Fairview on Friday
