Last year’s Gr 2 Wilgerbosdrift Gauteng Fillies Guineas proved the pecking order of the crop only begins to be sorted out after this event, considering Trophy Wife finished second off the second lowest merit rating, so outsiders cannot be ignored in this alternate first leg of the Triple Tiara.

The ruling favourite for Saturday’s renewal, Negroamaro, who has a plum draw of three, was flying late in the Gr 3 Three Troika Stakes over 1450m last time out to finish a close up second.

However, a detractor to her current odds of 75/100 with Betting World could be the proximity of Juxtapose, who finished just over half-a-length behind her and was finishing just as strongly, a notable imp

rovement from her 7,25 length third to Negroamaro in the Gr 3 Fillies Mile. She was receiving 1kg from Negroamaro, but being by Judpot out of Sunsational, who won two Gr 3 races at Kenilworth over 1800m and 1400m respectively, the tough Turffontein mile should be ideal. As a hold up horse who settles well, her wide draw of 13 shouldn’t be too much of a disadvantage.

A detractor on paper to Juxtapose’s form is her failure to win a three-year-old fillies MR 89 handicap over the 1400m of the Turffontein Standside course off a merit rating of 89 in her previous start. However, it was run at a canter and turned into a sprint, so she did well to run on from behind with topweight for a 0,8 length third. Gauteng Fillies Guineas contender Jungle Mist also did well to finish a neck second as she was unsettled in a handy position, although she was receiving 3,5kg from Juxtapose.

Juxtapose, 12/1 with Betting World, should be good value each/way on the Tote, which will pay four places as things stand.

How often have Geoff Woodruff outsiders been ignored on this day? He has a phenomenal record on big Turffontein racedays and his Western Winter filly Christmas Carol comes into the race off the back of three wins on the trot from 1400m to 2000m. An obvious detractor is her 1600m handicap win being achieved off, effectively, a mere 72 merit rating. However, Louis The King won the Gauteng Guineas by 5,25 lengths off a merit rating of 94 two years ago, showing how much improvement Woodruff is capable of extracting. Furthermore, “King Louis” did it in testing going, which brought fitness to the fore, a factor which will always favour the Woodruff yard. There is 40mm of rain forecast between Tuesday and Saturday this week so the scopey Christmas Carol, who is a full-sister to Castle Tankard winner Winter’s Night, could well relish the tough test it will present.

Another 25/1 shot who comes in under the radar is Bella Sonata. She is rated by the Gavin van Zyl yard and was found to have pharyngitis after her 3,7 length seventh in the Three Troikas, so is better than that. She had proven her liking for the Standside track before that with a facile victory over older horses in a 1400m handicap off a merit rating of 78. She quickened well in the Three Troikas, but her effort quickly petered out, indicating she was not herself.

However, her stablemate Frosty Friday is shorter in the betting and has top jockey Muzi Yeni aboard. This well-bred Western Winter filly is unbeaten in her last three and an interesting point is last time out, when running on strongly from a handy position to win a Graduation Plate over 1450m on the Inside course cosily, she thrashed Jungle Mist by seven lengths, despite giving her 3kg. On collateral formlines this brings Frosty Friday into the race with a serious chance and she has also proved she stays this trip. She does have a tough draw of 14 though and is 12/1 in the betting.

Princess Varunya (Nkosi Hlophe)

Jungle Mist was caught wide in the race against Frosty Friday and interestingly produced her best performance next time out over the same course and distance when settling properly for the first time, albeit right at the back. She flew for a close second and on lines through Intergalactic and Tahini looks good longshot value on Saturday at odds of 50/1.

She’s A Dragon is second favourite for Saturday’s race at 7/1 and certainly caught the eye in the Three Troikas. She was initially outpaced in the straight, but then picked up and stayed on resolutely for a 2,2 length fourth, so is likely to relish the step up in trip.

The connections who are likely to be viewing the weather forecast with particular glee are those of Persian Rug, a giant of a filly who stayed on for a 3,1 length fifth in the Three Troikas. She threw away a Gr 1 victory by stopping while approaching a shadow in the Thekwini Stakes at the end of last season, but still picked up to run third. The form of that race had not worked out well until fourth-placed Flying Ice finished second in Saturday’s Prix du Cap. However, Persian Rug has palpably not been suited to the hard going which has blighted the Highveld for most of the season. It is no coincidence she improved with the more forgiving going of the Three Troikas and the Mike de Kock-trained daughter of Ideal World could well be a factor.

Bookmakers are taking no chances with KZN raider Princess Varunya, who will relish the long straight even if the distance is a bit short for her. They have priced the solidly built Australian-bred filly up at 10/1. Anthony Delpech is a master of the Turffontein Standside track and this filly is likely to be relaxed in the running and running on strongly at the finish.

Jingle Belle gets another chance to show her potential in the Summer Of Champions Maiden at Durbanville today after missing her engagement a fortnight ago when she was under medication.

“It was routine medication but, as the meeting was on the Tuesday rather than the usual Wednesday, I didn’t want to take any chances,” says Andre Nel, adding: “She ran above expectations first time.”

Indeed she did, coming from last two furlongs out to finish a most encouraging third despite starting at 35-1. Stable companion Leisure Trip (second) has franked the form by winning since.

Aldo Domeyer

However she is no certainty. Apart from anything else she is drawn quite wide and she has never been to Durbanville for a gallop. The obvious threat is Secret Plan who started favourite here last time but was caught a bit wide and was run out of it close home. This Vaughan Marshall filly opened 22-10 joint favourite with Jingle Belle and Sugar Frosted with World Sports Betting yesterday but, surprisingly, nobody wanted to know and she was 9-2 yesterday. Jingle Belle, on the other hand, hardened to 13-10 while the Joey Ramsden runner shortened to 18-10.

Sugar Frosted ran well enough to win this in two starts last year but has not been seen since her second in May when she returned choked up and blowing hard.  “She has been back in work for a long time,” says assistant Ricardo Sobotker. “She hasn’t been to Durbanville but she has been doing nicely.”

Form horse State Ballet has been scratched from the opening five furlong maiden. A rope burn at the back of a hind heel opened up when she disappointed at Kenilworth on Saturday and Riaan van Reenen had to put her on medication.

Andre Nel’s newcomers Telekinesis and Cuduiari head the market. Aldo Domeyer had the choice and plumped for Cuduiara who is favourite – 22-10 with WSP and 2-1 with Betting World – while Bernard Fayd’ Herbe’s mount is 5-2 with both firms.

Nel says that neither of his has been to Durbanville and neither is that special.  He feels that Domeyer may have gone for the wrong one. This is a difficult course for first-timers but, with so little to beat from those that have raced, a tentative vote goes to Telekinesis.

Adorada has been supported for race two from 22-10 to 16-10 while second favourite Excellent has eased from 5-2 to 7-2. However both were raised a kilo for their last runs and preference is for Good Grace who looks value at 11-2.

Another to bear in mind is 7-1 chance Pirangi. It’s her first time out of the maidens but she did win quite comfortably three weeks ago. “She has her work cut out but I think she is in with a shout at the weights,” says Mike Robinson.

Anthony Delpech rides promising Australian-breds in both the Triple Crown and Triple Tiara races at Turffontein’s big Guineas day meeting this Saturday and admits  both have tough tasks.

He rides the Kumaran Naidoo-trained Princess Varunya in the Gr 2 Wilgerbosdrift Gauteng Fillies Guineas from a draw of nine and said, “Kumaran has placed her very well, so she hasn’t had to beat much. This is her first time against this class, so we will have to wait for the race to see whether she is up to it. It’s a bit short for her, but she is going for all three legs, so had to run in this one.”

Delpech believes the likely favourite Negroamaro is going to be very hard to beat.

Princess Varunya (Nkosi Hlophe)

Princess Varunya, as a strongly-built, long-striding daughter of Epsom Derby winner High Chaparral, will love the galloping nature of the Turffontein Standside track as well as its long straight.

This beautiful looking bay filly has won her last four on the trot from 1900-2000m and has done it easily, so is without doubt the dark horse in Saturday’s race.

She was defeated three times in the Maidens over 1600m, but wide draws, immaturity and unsuitably tight tracks looked to be more responsible for the defeats than anything else.

Meanwhile, Negroamaro flew late last time out to finish a neck second in the Gr 3 Three Troikas Stakes over 1450m and will relish the step up in trip. However, the overall form of the three-year-old fillies crop this season is uninspiring to date and the Cape’s Silver Mountain is the only one who has stood out. Therefore, an unexposed horse like Princess Varunya has to be more respected than would normally be the case.

Delpech rides the Mike de Kock-trained Magic Albert gelding Suyoof in the Gr 2 Betting World Gauteng Guineas, where he has to overcome the widest draw of all, 16.

He said, “He is a nice horse but being drawn badly it’s going to be very hard. Abashiri is a nice horse and New Predator and Brazuca are the others who look good but this is a very hard Guineas.”

Suyoof was narrowly defeated by the more experienced Brazuca when making his debut over 1200m, but he followed up with three wins on the trot from 1160m to 1450m, including the Listed GVSC Communications Secretariat Stakes over 1400m on the Turffontein Standside Track and the Gr 3 Tony Ruffel Stakes over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside track. He quickened well in both the latter races and on each occasion held off a challenger gallantly.

De Kock believes he will stay the 1600m, although his sire was a sprint-miler and his dam’s two wins were over 1400m, so there is plenty of speed in the pedigree.

Bernard Fayd’Herbe, who rode his first British winner when the ex-Joey Ramsden-trained Cold As Ice won at Chelmsford four days before Christmas, will return to partner her in the Fillies & Mares Final at Lingfield on Good Friday.

Part-owner Brian Finch, who will also fly out for the meeting, said: “William Haggas is now very excited about Cold As Ice. That last run added a new dimension to her in his eyes.”

The Choice Carriers, Sceptre and Laisserfaire winner flew home to take third in a six furlong Listed race at Lingfield early this month and, according to a report in The Irish Field, only one horse has covered the final two furlongs faster at Lingfield since the introduction of sectional timing. The report, dealing with her chance at Easter, was headed Cold As Ice A Certainty.

With the current season barely past halfway the race for the various titles are wide open. Anthony Delpech leads the Jockey’s Championship with latest National Horseracing Authority figures having him four ahead of former champion Andrew Fortune. Delpech leads with 121 winners from Fortune’s 117.

Delpech has recently split from the Mike de Kock yard as retained rider and although he will still take mounts for the stable his is now a free agent and can keep his nose in front.

Anthony Delpech

Close behind are S’Manga Khumalo on 113 and Muzi Yeni just cracking the century mark. Anton Marcus has the highest strike rate of all riders with 24% of his rides making it to the winner’s enclosure but he tends to cherry-pick his mounts and he has ridden 85 winners from his 342 mounts. Delpech is close behind on 23%, his 121 winners coming from 555 rides.

Fortune, Khumalo and Yeni have all had over 700 rides, Fortune topping the list with 784 mounts. These three have also adopted a policy of ‘have saddle will travel’.

Current champion Gavin Lerena is a winner behind Marcus on 84 for the season but on Sunday left to continue his career in Hong Kong where he has landed a contract as Club Jockey to the Hong Kong Jockey Club so will not be defending his title.

On the training front the race for the title looks a three-way contest between Justin Snaith, current champion Sean Tarry and Mike Bass, multiple Western Cape Champion but yet to win a national title.

Snaith is 30 winners ahead of Tarry but the title is based on stakes won. Snaith 133 winners have garnered R11,574 million with Tarry’s 103 winner’s having earned R11,276 million. Bass is only R500 00 behind Snaith, his earnings coming from just 65 winners but with a high percentage of placed runners.

With stakes from restricted races also counted, Glen Puller finds himself in fourth spot on the log with R8 992 million from just eight winners courtesy of Illuminator’s victory in the CTS Million Dollar last month.

Tarry would appear to hold the whip-hand at this stage of the season with the lucrative Highveld autumn season pending and a stable loaded with potential. Snaith will not have many runners on the Highveld and will likely concentrate his energies in preparing his string for the South African Champions Season that starts in KZN in May and continues for three months to the end of the season.

The retirement of Futura will have removed one string from Snaith’s feature race bow but quadruple Grade 1 winner Legislate is to race in Durban before retiring to stud at the end of the season. The Rising Sun Gold Challenge, which he won last year, is a possible objective.

Ryan Munger, Craig Zackey and Callan Murray are spate by a single winner in the apprentice log with Munger on 32 winners and Zackey and Murry on 31 each. However, Munger and Zackey came out of their time at the end of January.

Jockey Ian Sturgeon has never quite received the support he deserves and last Thursday at the Vaal proved this point when picking up three rides originally booked to two of the country’s most sort after riders, Piere Strydom and Anthony Delpech, and bringing all of them home, plus another, to clinch his first career four-timer.

However, the ride everybody was talking about was aboard Kanonkop, whose mere participation was saved by Sturgeon’s act of selflessness as he clung to the rein and managed to stop the horse after it had burst through the stalls and dropped him.

Sturgeon said, “The handler was still holding on to the rein … that is why I usually ask them to rather let it go … so he burst through awkwardly. Luckily I landed on my feet and started hopping next to him. Thank goodness he responded when I asked him to slow down. You can stop a horse, it’s not like it hasn’t happened before, although he is a big horse. He had a little graze on his nose but thank goodness the vet allowed him to race.”

Sturgeon had thus preserved the favourite’s participation in the race.

He continued, “I then thought he might be concussed because he wasn’t really getting into the race. From halfway he got into it and then I couldn’t get a split. Luckily S’manga’s horses rolled off the rail and he went through it and won a good race.”

Kanonkop gave Sturgeon a quick double, after he had won on the second favourite Shelly from an unfavourable low draw in the first. He then clinched a quick hattrick in the third, when getting the  favourite Musical Romance up from another unfavourable low draw.

Later, he made it a four-timer when powering clear on the third favourite Nesspresso in the fifth.

He had won more ride to come, but unfortunately the last two races were abandoned.

In analysing the mild mannered Sturgeon’s relative lack of big yard support, he has perhaps been unfortunate to have a phlegmatic demeanour, whilst on the inside being by nature the exact opposite.

However, he has now curbed his habit of being excessively critical of his own riding and said, “It dents your confidence. I am learning not to think about things too much and no longer over analyse. I am talking myself up instead of down.”

Sturgeon still has a burning desire to be Champion Jockey and would like to reach a stage whereby he can be more selective about the rides he accepts.

He is currently forced to take as many rides as possible to covers costs and this has dragged his strike rate down. Whilst he is calculating how a specific race will pan out in order to give him his best chance, a top jockey is doing the same thing with the aim of choosing which ride he is going to take.

Sturgeon also revealed something very interesting regarding “the going” and the false perception among armchair critics that only the best jockeys seem to take special notice of it.

He said virtually all jockeys watch the replays in the jockeys’ room of the races just run, so were acutely aware of where the best going was. However, he added if a jockey was “sitting with a lot of horse you can usually manipulate the situation easier and be where you want to be.” Therefore the more fancied horse usually find the better going. Weaker horses on the other hand are often unable to hold their favourable positions in the running. Armchair critics will invariably blame the jockey for this and it is probably another factor which keeps the lower ranked riders suppressed.

As Felix Coetzee said earlier this week, jockeys find themselves in a catch 22 situation because they need to be rated to be given good rides, but need good rides to be rated.

However, Sturgeon, who is lying in 12^th place on the current log with 51 winners, said, “You also have to make opportunities for yourself. The guys who have risen make fewer mistakes, that’s why they get the chances. But if you are confident you do make less mistakes, so you have to try and generate that confidence.”

Sturgeon, who had his first race ride in 2001, gave an inkling of just how deep his resolve is in 2010 when booking himself for a month into the renowned Kenako Golf and Sports Academy in George in order to learn both physical and mental techniques to improve himself as a professional sportsman.

Sturgeon was once stable jockey to Michael Roberts, whom many regard as South Africa’s greatest ever rider, and he still attributes a lot to him.

He said, “Michael basically taught me how to ride. He liked my style and taught me everything about pace. I can’t count like the Hong Kong Jockeys learn to, so do it all on feel, and I have found I get it 99% right.”

Sturgeon feels he has improved since moving to Johannesburg.

He has an astute and passionate racing man on his side in the form of jockey agent Bradley McHardy. Bradley is the son of Rathmor Stud owners Mike and Tanya and is now assistant trainer to Duncan Howells, having previously been a sort after pre-trainer as well as being an accomplished showjumper.

Sturgeon has twice gone close to achieving the breakthrough he desires, finishing runner up in the Vodacom Durban July on Sushisan in 2006 and on Punta Arenas last year.

“Success breeds success,” he concluded and last Thursday he certainly proved he is ready to fill the boots of the top echelon riders.

On Saturday the highly regarded Abashiri will face the first leg of his bid for Triple Crown glory, but down in the Cape his sire Go Deputy has virtually been abandoned by breeders despite his continually good statistics.

Abashiri’s trainer Mike Azzie has called the magnificently long-striding bay gelding the best he has trained since National Currency, a three-time Gr 1-winning sprinter who finished second in the Gr 1 Hong Kong Sprint to the great Silent Witness.

Abashiri has a genuine chance of landing the Triple Crown, although the first leg on Saturday, the Gr 2 Betting World Gauteng Guineas, will probably be his toughest  obstacle as he would prefer further.

Yet, Go Deputy only covered two mares this past season. Both were sent by the stud which own and stand him, Lammerskraal Stud.

Lammerskraal’s long-time stud manager Sally Jourdan said, “His sire Deputy Minister was a champion racehorse, a champion sire and a champion broodmare sire. Breeders just don’t recognise him for what he is and it is hard to resurrect a stallion. But, if Abashiri does really well we will try and promote him again.”

Jourdan added Lammerskraal’s new owner Pieter Graaff only races two or three horses from each crop, otherwise Go Deputy would have received more mares.

She also spoke of her keen anticipation of the progeny of Go Deputy’s daughters, as she believes like his father he will be an outstanding broodmare sire.

Among his daughters with nice looking youngsters to date is the three-time Listed-winning stayer Adobe Pink, who has a foal by What A Winter, the champion sprinter by Lammerskraal’s late great Western Winter.

Abashiri comes from Go Deputy’s 2012 crop, the season in which he covered 50 mares, and was purchased for R400,000 at the National Yearling Sales.

Also among his 2012 crop is Flying Ice, a Listed winner who finished second in Saturday’s Gr 3 Prix du Cap, beating a few significant four-year-old members of what many believe to be  the greatest female crop in South African history.

Significantly, Go Deputy’s progeny improve notably with age. Following progeny of this sire after they have turned four years of age always reaps dividends, so his excellent 2012 crop still have plenty to come.

As it is he has the highest percentage of black type winners to runners in the country this season at 6,8%.

The other Black Type winner among them is Current Event, who won the Gr 3 Grandwest Cape Summer Stayers Handicap over 2500m. Go Deputy has a high figure of about 41% winners to runners this season and they have average earning of R45,552 per runner.

Abashiri’s deserving owners are Adriaan and Rika van Vuuren. The couple are among the biggest spenders at the Sales in the country and as Abashiri is likely the best they have purchased there must still be hope for Go Deputy.

Following 40mm of rainfall over the past few days in the KwaZulu-Natal region and with further rain forecasted for the weekend, Gold Circle has taken a decision to change racing venues for Sunday, 21 February 2016, from Scottsville to Greyville Racecourse.

Please note that race times remain unchanged and all races will be run on the polytrack.  Race 5 distance has been amended to 2000 metres.

Jockey Anton Marcus has landed two top rides for the Johan Janse van Vuuren stable on Guineas Day. Marcus will be riding Brazuca in the R1-million Betting World Gauteng Guineas and Negroamaro in the R500,000 Wilgerbosdrift Gauteng Fillies Guineas at Turffontein on Saturday 27 February. Both races are Grade 2 events.

The Gauteng Guineas is the joint first leg of the SA Triple Crown which carries a R2-million bonus for any runner capable of winning the Cape or Gauteng Guineas over 1600m, the Grade 1 SA Classic over 1800m and the Grade 1 SA Derby over 2450m in the same season.

Anton Marcus

The Wilgerbosdrift Triple Tiara carries a R1-million bonus and goes to any filly who can win the Cape or Gauteng Guineas, the SA Fillies Classic and the SA Oaks.

Van Vuuren has a strong hand in both races as he has New Predator to back up Cape Guineas and Cape Derby runner-up Brazuca. Stuart Randolph has the ride on New Predator.

However, the horse they might all have to beat is Abashiri from the Mike Azzie yard. The son of Go Deputy is in top form currently and unlike the other two who have drawn at Nos 10 and 11, Abashiri, to be ridden by Karl Zechner, jumps from barrier No 3.

It is interesting to note that trainer Sean Tarry did not declare Prospect Strike as a runner in the Guineas. The son of Toreador was making his first appearance in 201 days and Tarry would have been forced to make the declaration before his charge ran on Thursday. Prospect Strike has also been entered in the Grade 2 Hawaii Stakes on the same day and Tarry has until Tuesday to make a final decision.

Prospect Strike finished third in a Graduation Plate over 1000m at the Vaal on Thursday, 5.75 lengths behind Seattle Lady.

Negroamaro has drawn No 5 in the Fillies Guineas and on paper looks hard to beat. However, KwaZulu-Natal-based trainer Kom Naidoo will fancy the chances of Princess Varunya who has won her last four starts but those were over 1900m and 2000m. She could be a Triple Tiara contender if she can win the Fillies Guineas.
