Mike de Kock will be going for his tenth Summer Cup victory and has the most intriguing entry, the Irish-bred Galileo entire Flying The Flag, who won a Gr 3 over the Summer Cup 2000m trip in Ireland for Aiden O’Brien
The Sansui Summer Cup is the first Gr1 of the new season and it won’t be a case of arrive and collect. Woodruff’s champion colt and Triple Crown star Louis The King could encounter some serious resistance
Alan Greeff’s recent Eastern Cape ‘Triple Crown’ star My Best Shot and the Lucky Houdalakis galloper Musical Score, a 3yo son of Oratorio, and a winner of his last two starts, are the two newbies
It is no mean feat to win at feature level from 1400m to 2400m, but My Best Shot proved equal to the task and set himself up for East Cape Horse Of The Year honours – and maybe a Hollywoodbets Durban July supplementary entry?
