A perfect preparation is just one of the vital ingredients required to win Africa’s prestigious ultimate test of stamina, the R1 million Gr1 Ladbrokes Gold Cup at Greyville.
Princess Of Light found only Igugu too good for her when runner-up in the Gr2 SA Oaks back in April, and took full advantage of her old nemesis’ absence to go one better in the Gold Circle Oaks over 2400m at Clairwood on Sunday
Group races should be decided on the track and not the Stipes boardroom. The Gr2 Gold Circle Derby has seen its stake plummet from R1 million in the nineties to a third of that today and it lost a lot more fizz with a bitter decision on Sunday 26 June. Hard luck to the Scotts, Keith Steinberg and Dynasty!
Princess Of Light is a proven stayer with decent Gauteng form and there is plenty to like about her chances of posting a first career Stakes success when she takes on nine rivals.
There simply isn’t a better five days of Flat racing anywhere in the world! It all starts on Tuesday 17 June with three Gr1 races
It’s been confirmed – New Zealand reigning champion jockey Warren Kennedy has been booked to ride Confederate for trainer Fabian Habib on 05 July
The Hollywoodbets Gold Challenge day last Saturday produced some top-drawer racing and inspiring performances on the track
