Blinkers Oversight – Chief Stipe Says No Excuses

One has to ask.
What were the " virtual board" members(stipes) who are watching videos from many different angles watching
Surely they must have seen a horse carded to wear blinkers in the race without blinkers
Or are the virtual members just

Steyn 3yo Will Stay In Cape For Winter

Garrix was priced up at Pre-noms thus in the public domain. Racing fans wants to be the best of the best in the July. After all is it not Africa's Greatest Horseracing Event

Champions Season ’25 – Let The Games Begin!

11 of the top 15 horses quoted in the HWB July ante-post betting are 3 yo's, the bookies must be quite impressed with this year's 3 yo crop.
My fun ante-post last year (at 200/1), Future Pearl, ran a creditable 6th, so I was'nt displeased at all.
This year's renewal looks as if it could be stronger, I'm not inclined to bet against Eight on Eighteen while he's amongst the entries.

These faces are hard to figure out as some of the July hopefuls won't want to have their MR raised too much at this stage. Is there a limit as to what increases can be incurred in the Guineas and the Drill

Guy's let US respect oom Piet Steyn and the owner's of Garrix decision by not sending Garrix to the Natal season if everyone was rocket scientist we should have been playing horses or gambling a good friend of mine a ex bookmaker also told me when horses betting get price Up the horses are In the public domain but In this case Garrix wasn't priced up for any race for the KZN season might they was antepost but it doesn't mean it was going to run I'm also sure the owner IS short or desperate for stakes purse IT was going to run

What has transparency got to do with anything - the horse was not entered for the July last Friday - that decision would not have been taken on Thursday - right - probably awhile

Mr. Editor why don't you show us the reason why race 1 yesterday at Hollywoodbets Greyville was run over 20 minutes past the advertised time and therefore every race after that was late ..It is in the stipes report for race 1 yesterday ..This sums up where racing is at present ..Remember we rely on overseas betting on our races to contribute towards income for our racing
