The two Ready To Run Cups had owners and trainers ‘chasing the money’ earlier in the day, leaving Muwaary to test his mettle against runners rated between 6 and 20 points below his 100-rating in a Graded race worth a pitiful R250 000
Bred and raced by Waikato Stud, O’Reilly forged a career as a brilliant sprinter-miler, winning four of his six starts, including the Gr1 Bayer Classic and the Gr1 Telegraph in four unbeaten starts in New Zealand.
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!
