The connections of an Emerald Cup entrant fail to convince judge as application is dismissed
The Gr1 Golden Horse Casino Sprint has attracted a capacity field of sixteen runners headed by the brilliant, when at best, What A Winter.
Depardieu sidesteps the KRA Guineas and attempts to become the first three year old since Imbongi in 2008 to win the R300 000 Gr2 WFA Drill Hall Stakes.
Dean Kannemeyer’s smart 3yo Depardieu played the starring role in the R200 000 Gr3 Byerley Turk.
Eight highly rated runners contest the Gr3 Byerley Turk Stakes at Scottsville on Saturday
Depardieu made best use of a very considerable pull at the weights to gun down a couple of very talented fellow three-year-olds and record his second Graded race success in the Cape Classic over 1400m at Kenilworth (winter course) on Saturday.
It is eerie to think that there would have been no Siren’s Call, Sound Of Warning, or for that matter Call To Unite, had fate not decreed that Enchanted Cove follow her dam to South Africa, and that Peter de Beyer had the foresight to return Elusive Fort back home from the States as well!
There’s lots more to play for!
