Candyman – Cherry Or A Chump Ride?
Never ridden a racehorse @ 60kph but played football for many years. Found the best players & experts were all on the sidelines!! Been punting for many years & seen more than one over confident top Jockey drop his hands before the finish line. I have great respect for all these Jockeys applying their trade & specially what a great comeback character Andrew Fortune has achieved.

What a race, what a horse! Reminded me of Politician in the '79 Met. Unbelievable!

How's it possible countries like Zimbabwe can maintain races with G1 status and our top races keep dropping in grade.
Noticed last week the BW1900 is now a G3, the prestigious Gold Bowl has been relegated to Listed status and the GH Sprint a race steeped in tradition - formerly the Gilbeys - SA's premier 1200m race is a G2. What next - the July or the Met??????
Whoever is making these hair-brained decisions is killing racing for our best

Seven horses in probably the most important 3 y/o race of the year, other than the Cape Derby - a sad state of affairs for SA

It would do Spumante Dolce's eventual breeding prospects (Wilgerbosdrift) no harm if she manages to run close to the boys. Well worth a try.
And here's to Alan Greeff - wishing him his best season ever!

In my opinion, this is without doubt one of the "dullest" renewals of the Daily News I've seen in a while. No doubt the fear of earning an unwarranted high rating by simply participating and not finishing last, has scared off most others.
Fwiw, the July winner will undoubtedly not come from this

WI has been on my shortlist since his run in the Derby - he stays and will be getting weight from a few other 3 yo's.
Iam going to excuse him that performance in the Cape because it's a long way to travel and the trainer was also probably also planning to run him in the Derby - so iam guessing things didn't go according to plan.
I also belief there is a 50 50 chance he won't

I must be honest. I understand short odd favorites getting beaten and lossing . But what beats me is now days they not getting beaten they getting rolled over steamed over . In the past month go back and look how many short odd favorites got beaten where they ran either last or second last not even making the place frame. You will be

Highveld Feature Season Awards ’25 – All The Winners
In days gone by the Gold Cup was probably the second most anticipated or widely known big race here in Kzn... I recall the days of Aquanaut in particular.
As you rightly point out, the stature and frequency of top class staying races in SA has reached an all time low. Perhaps the new blood at the helm will see things differently, who

Thank you for sharing your sentiments on this platform Mr Cochrane.Your transparency in what you ascertained is so much appreciated. Can you imagine the lack of transparency from trainers,owners and the so call big punters whom share their opinions on this platform yet with very little vigor and conviction on what they have heard.I have taken some worthy bets getting into Immediate Edge and notably it being in the money at about 12 /1 ,14/1presently is mindboggling .As I preferred Cousin Casey last year very strongly, this year it's the combo of DE KOk and Son to teach the Cape Town Boys a galloping lesson.Here's a challenge and let's see what the punters and scribes prefer as their choices for the big day..may the best horse win at this top

Hi Richard
Just to point out that a 'part 2' country like Zimbabwe is ranked differently to a 'part 1 ' like SA- that Gr1 of theirs is just south of Listed, we believe.
