“If you look at the result, both actually ran very well and weren’t in the least disgraced.”
The SA Nursery is the first and only Gr1 event for 2yo’s on the Highveld. The race has a chequered history in the new millennium. Traditionally contested up the Turffontein straight, the distance was changed from 1160m to 1400m in 2002, and run around the bend – a stiff task for young 2yo’s, with the effect of the draw an added factor.
World leading sire More Than Ready’s statistics do make for interesting reading. In SA he has been represented by 8 runners to date – of which six have won, and four are stakes winners.
