Another Big Winner In Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge!
A not so tricky card eventually, with some longish shots being well supported, resulting in 6 favourites and 2 second (or close to second) favourites winning.
Well done Keano01 for being the sole winner out of some 12000 contestants, I think. .
And congratulations to those who won the R4000 P6 ....

I say respect Gavin's feedback, he is a top professional. If we profess to care for animals then consider his request. It's not all about the

How much blood is drawn from the horse
One pint
Does the test not need a few drops of blood or is that not

Hi Frankie
Disappointing run from Zeus. Be interesting to hear what horse experienced folk think about taking bloods on eve of a race.
Some say it makes no difference, although highly strung horses could get upset.
Apparently it cannot remotely be equated to human experience, although some people do feel faint and dizzy

‘A Mind Blowing Win!’- Sean Tarry
So what was the highlight of Championships Finale day at Turffontein? The answer: the return to the racetrack of Clyde Basel.
Clyde's many racing fans and close friends and family have been extremely worried in recent weeks as he underwent several operations.
Clyde has a special chemistry with SA racing followers so it's great news that he's back in the saddle.
On the subject of commentators, it was surprising that 4Racing - not Cape Racing - decided to honour Jehan Malherbe with a race named in his honour.
Jehan was excellent in his interview with my old colleague Cecil Mthembu coming across as hugely appreciative that his name was linked to the Senor Santa Stakes.
He still has plenty on his plate as Form Bloodstock spent the tidy sum of R25,3 million at the National Yearling Sale at Gosforth

Frankie Zackey... I believe one of the biggest bucket shops laid Zeus for 3 million... Apparently the jabbing lasted for quite some time before he was finally allowed to canter to the start... Surely the sudden loss of blood and being victimized by the Jabbing,it had to affect his chance.
The poor performance was way under par - poor

Fanie Bronkhorst’s Colorado King Stakes Joy
The Stipes reported:

CARDED TIME: 15:20:00
RESCHEDULED TIME: -----
OFF TIME: 15:20:34
PROVISIONAL RESULT: 15:23:08

THE STARTER REPORTED:
a) HOTARUBI (S Khumalo) jumped inwards leaving the stalls.
b) SECOND BASE (C Maujean) was slow into stride.
c) PURE PREDATOR (R Fourie) was squeezed out shortly after the start.
THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED:
a) Shortly after the start, SAFE PASSAGE (M Yeni) and PURE PREDATOR (R Fourie) were bumped in by HOTARUBI (S Khumalo), which jumped inwards leaving the stalls.
b) When questioned, Jockey G Lerena (PUERTO MANZANO) told the Stewards that this gelding started fairly and that he had been content to take up a trailing position in the early and middle stages. He added that at approximately the 1100m the gelding commenced to give ground to the field and in his estimation was close to 10 lengths behind, SECOND BASE, at that stage. He said that shortly after entering the straight, he had concerns with the action of PUERTO MANZANO and had reservations if the gelding was striding out well enough for him to ask for an effort in the home straight. He stated that, at about the 400m, the gelding started to respond to his riding, albeit a hand and heels ride and that he had managed to sustain a fairly strong closing... read more

SA Champions Season Launches With Three Features
Its interesting that someone who makes out to know everything actually knows so little..
Travelling of horses has absolutely nothing to do with age but only with each individual horses temperament....a horse like William Robertson travelled to KZN 3 times in about 6 weeks and still won his races...you will sometimes even have juveniles who are really good travellers and likewise you will find seasoned 5/6 year olds who can barely travel from Tfntn to the Vaal and can only win on the home course when theres no travelling involved...
But this is a readymade pre hatched excuse should the so called champ get run over...as I suspect will

‘A Mind Blowing Win!’- Sean Tarry
Fantastic day for the Tarry yard, bouncing back after an indifferent Cape season, bodes well for the KZN winter.
On another point, well done to Gauteng racing for honoring Jehan Malherbe, one of the best commentators in South African racing. But do I detect a bit of one-upmanship here by 4Racing, honoring a Cape commentator at a premier Gauteng meeting, yet it was not done in the Cape during our summer season...? Interesting time we live
