Impressive three-year-old Ten Sovereigns (No Nay Never) showed his class when running out an outstanding winner of Saturday’s Gr1 Darley July Cup
R20 000 buy Too Phat To Fly can run on her day and she stormed home to register her first stakes triumph to take her earnings close on R300 000
Bezanova may well have forgotten where the winner’s enclosure was after his long drought but came back to his best in style at Turffontein on Sunday
Bezrin has returned to KZN and will be standing the 2016 breeding season at Yellow Star Stud
KZN champion trainer Duncan Howells sealed the first leg of his KZN Winter Challenge Series double when the consistent Bezrin gelding Crime Victim put his hard-luck stories behind him with a solid victory in the R200 000 KZN Winter Challenge 1950
Trainer Alec Laird won his second KZN Breeders Million Mile in three years when Anton Marcus produced the Bezrin gelding Bezanova at the right moment to win the topliner on the well patronised KZN Breeders’ raceday at Greyville on Sunday
Bezrin is a proper son of Danzig. He gets everything in foal, he sorts out all my conformation problems and upgrades all my mares. And he’s been very good to me in the sales ring. What more can you ask?
Sean Cormack has been aboard at five of his six wins and the top jockey appears to enjoy playing poker with his opposition, only asking Royal Colours at the very last moment for his effort
“I bumped into him and asked him how the sale was going. He said it was going great and that some clowns were even paying R150 000 for Bezrins!”…
The old man proves he is just too hot as he wins Listed Memorial Mile (WFA) for third time
Just 48 hours after Cheeky Wink’s smart win at Tipperary, the Kieswetter and Heffer families enjoyed another champagne moment at Sandown
Ridgemont’s Rafeef fairytale received more endorsement on the Championships Finale at Turffontein on Saturday when his daughter, Chasing Happiness, ran her eight opponents off their feet to register her second stakes success when winning the TAB Gr2 Senor Santa Stakes
The number of entries compares favourably in quantum with recent years, with 58 first entries received in 2024, 60 in 2023, 68 in 2022, 53 in 2021, 52 in 2020, 49 in 2019, and 69 in 2018
Ironically, it was a colt which provided Alan with a first Gr1 success, this being Alec and Gillian Foster’s homebred Cereus, who landed the 2001 Gold Cup at Hollywoodbets Greyville, his victory completing a momentous double on the day, with the Gr2 Golden Slipper having gone the way of juvenile filly Tatler, a great-great-great grandaughter of Sun Lass!
