Withdrawn on the eve of the 2017 Vodacom Durban July, Justin Snaith’s Silvano gelding Elusive Silva showed that horseracing can sometimes deliver second chances
Cape Winter Derby winner Elusive Silva, like Krambambuli who won earlier, is one of 9 Justin Snaith Vodacom Durban July entries
The Cape jockeys’ favourite rein wrestling game of hurry up and wait made something of a mockery of the Gr3 Winter Derby at Kenilworth on Saturday
Shrewd money during the week saw the Nutfield Stud-bred Chestnuts N Pearls shorten on the betting boards from 25-1 to 7-1 and the confidence was to prove spot on as she reversed the Allan Robertson Championship form with Princess Royal
Tragedy strikes as valiant Kimberley 1400 winner Sky Marshal is injured in shadow of the winning post
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!
