A lesson for South African jockeys and stipes in this little tale of a a backed horse, an apprentice and a frenetic pace
Hard questions will be asked by stewards, and this is where racing differs from other sports – not just because its funding comes primarily from wagering, but that on-field inconsistencies are investigated and, “But sir, it was an honest mistake,” or, “I just had a bad day,” aren’t valid excuses
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!
