Champions Season ’25 – Let The Games Begin!
WOW, how's this Guineas ,, pound for pound the best in ages from any province ,,
8/18 will do well to fetch 3rd ,, any runner will do well to be in the first 4.
what a race to see Fire Attack and 8/18 eyeball to eyeball whilst Cosmic Speed gives them a galloping lesson with take your pick after that...
these 3yr old's are from an exceptional crop that is way above the older horses ,, but the handicrapper has noticed and naturally hit them 4 kg out of the park,, what can the trainers do as this is not the year to hide this tremendous

Excing times ahead...Durban season and thereafter Cape season - better than that you won't get Let's hope the tracks are better prepared/conditioned because last season the turf-track was super quick.. HUMDINGER who in my opinion is not a miler GR1 - level won Garden Province in 93,87 s but the time given by judges(the time we see in formguides) states 96,63 .DAVE THE KING won Gold Challenge in 92,6s but the judges time shows 96,15s...In any particular race,the sum of the SECTIONALS should match the winning time ...GIMME A PRINCE winning Cape Flying in 54,8s but in formguides it shows 56,76s...I hope Hollywood/Mr Bortz investigate this

Steyn 3yo Will Stay In Cape For Winter
Variety Club was virtually unbeatable over the mile wherever he raced. He won the Godolphin Mile in Dubai and the Hong Kong Mile. In SA there were two Rising Sun Challenges and Queens Plates among others. He also won the both Cape and KZN Guineas which Wolf Power could not do - unplaced behind Foreign Ambassador in the Cape and beaten by Prince Florimund in the SA Guineas.
Variety Club is one of the most understated champions this country has ever seen - ask Anton Marcus. A truly great racehorse who deserves much more credit from the racing

The stipes Mr. Ed , no wait , sorry , they are actually paid directly by the operators and us the betting fraternity and therefore have no funds of their own , we fund their budgets through the operators ?
Anyway as Greg says they are beyond reproach and always know what is best in respect of the regulation of the industry

LoL, No refunds, all 24 locals back home claim they had WIN bets on cause of the blinkers 🙂

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

The stipes who are at fault they can use the funds that they have accumulated from the ridiculous fines the jockeys and trainers get from

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

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.

Tarry Makes It Three Feature Victories
Sean Tarry now in second place on the trainers log with total earnings of R11.34 million, but still some way off his R19.4 million for the previous season.
Justin Snaith on R21.3 mill has already passed the R20.9 mill earned last season, with KZN beckoning.
Alan Greeff, currently in third place on R11.31 million, has also (with 3 months still left) bettered his total earnings of R11.26 million accrued last year.
