The twice Gr1 winning son of Brave Tin Soldier bred by Summerhill Stud, has relocated to Bruce and Delia Le Roux’s Spring Valley Stud
Multiple SA Champion breeders Summerhill have announced that their dual Gr1 star Rabada will return to the place of his birth this season to stand as a stallion
‘Sleepy Hollow’ but it could liven up dramatically on Wednesday with the appearance at Scottsville of two long absent Gr1 stars
The Summerhill bred gelding was conditioned through a multiple Gr1 winning 2yo and 3yo career by top Gauteng trainer Mike Azzie
Jooste Racing Manager Derek Brugman has given his side of the Rabada saga after trainer Mike Azzie was forthright in saying he did not want to run the Vodacom Durban July contestant in this Sunday’s KZN Breeders Million Mile
A pedestrian pace on a track labelled less than ideal for Gr1 racing failed to dampen the thrills of some spectacular performances at Greyville on Saturday
Mike Azzie-trained Rabada was withdrawn ‘injured near hind’ at 08h06 on Friday from the Gr1 Investec Cape Derby to be run at Kenilworth on Saturday
Rabada, expected to start favourite for the Cartier Politician Stakes at Kenilworth on Saturday, had his travel delayed by administrative veterinary problems
“We will be taking on Silver Mountain who I think is something special and I don’t want to go down to Cape Town if I am not happy with the horse.”
“I think the jury’s out on last season’s top two-year-old colts and fillies, who may not be as good as we have been thinking they are. Rabada, Seventh Plain and our own Entisaar have all failed to win their first three-year-old starts. There are more, including Lauderdale, Chestnuts N Pearls, Melliflora…”
The undefeated Mike Azzie-trained Rabada heads the log for the R2,5 million Emperors Palace Ready To Run Cup to be run over 1400m at Turffontein on 31 October 2015.
