Hi Robin,
Thank you so much for your comprehensive response to my post.
It is ,as Mark Deane expressed, it is so good to be able to read such informative, interesting and factual recordings of the past. I absolutely love it.
Your knowledge is incredible and I could spend a day, one day would probably be to short, listening to you and feasting off the little titbits of your amazing mind.
I am so pleased that you are now part of the Sporting Post team and you can expect many more posts from me in response to your future articles.
It is indeed quite incredible how few mares Utrillo and Joy11 covered compared to Justify.( USA)
Just a quick one. Who were the sires of Diza, who won the July trained by Jackie Gorton and Jollify who dead heated with Sea Cottage in the July ridden by Jackie Gorton's son John?
By the way you mentioned, Onyx. He started his career trained by Jack

Dear Molly. My good man, nothing is forever, I have learnt that ...
I took very early voluntary retirement from a Top Company ( Big U ) and regretted it for a few months and then started on my own .
My point, something will come up for you again, however go and look for it ! Off course unless you are all set for Retirement
Maybe the Guys in Purple or the CT boys will call you. Racing is in your blood, hope you not completely lost to our beloved sport.
Lastly Thank You for a few Jackpots won on UK races, never got rich, but fun and never big outlays

It is really great to see Muis having a champion as a trainer. SIA has matured into a magnificent specimen. Winning over the 1600 just demonstrates that. It will be very difficult for CD to turn the tables in the LKP unless they use different tactics. Coming from too far back will not work. Good luck to Muis and Striker going

This is a big loss to the industry hopefully Molly will find similar work as he has a wealth of knowledge and experience and is a very entertaining person. Also he is like myself a Leeds United fan which makes him number one In my

Hi Frankie
Fair comment.
Phoned Sterling Miller, who is always willing to chat to us.
He says that as a rule of thumb, Tristan Godden will generally be on the Miller stable elect. You will note that our jockey rides the 4 Ethereal View.
Sterling says that she is 'very quick' and should be safe to get you through the Bipot.
He said that if you wish to take some cover against things going awry - these are, after all 2yo's and, bar one, all having their first day at school - he feels you can add the 8, Just Reckless.
Hope that

ran a good race when second behind See It Again over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time.
Cecil Cecil, why did you keep it a secret.
You actually saw See It Again win on your favorite race course, when he beat Cape

Frankie Zackey...I'm sure I remember you saying something about CD...After last week's mess up the mind is still not in full functioning order yet... They can say what they like I thought it was a poor ride,,he was to far off the pace and moved 100m too soon... They need to stop thinking about going further,, unfortunately the mile is the maximum he'll go... SIA played with the field... If I have to be honest CD looked do have done more work than SIA going into the race and On that performance I'll be doing the KP and Met double and will cover my stake with CD into SIA... SIA could very easily end the season unbeaten... Masterful stuff from Sir MDK with Aragosta,, many thought

Two racing Jockeys team up with a brilliant horse that clearly thrives in the most beautiful part of the world
These two men are some of the real LEGENDS of SA racing, not upstarts been called legends
They are true SOUTH AFRICAN HALL OF FAMERS

Frankie Zackey...Morning Mr Ed... Mr Ed I'm very keen on doing a Bipot for Scottsville today,, but the problem I have is in the 1st leg because we have 7 unraced babies running from the 8 carded... Knowing that Mr Mike Miller has done his part to save the race by entering 6 of the 8 runners carded,,surely the yard wouldn't have no issue assisting the Bipot players with their the top 2 from their 6 entered if you made a early call to the Yard ... The Computaform comments are pretty much helpless concerning the 1st leg of the Bipot... The MM yard haven't been far off the mark when then late money comes for their horse's...Unfortunately one can't wait for race time to see them in the ring and to watch them canter down and then still wait until the dying minutes to monitor the betting market before doing a Bipot...Unfortunately because of my circumstances not being able to watch the 1st 5 races I find it very difficult to gamble with my money in the 1st leg... I'm sure the public would also appreciate if the yard could assist the public...
