If there is a better jockey riding at the moment than
current champion Lyle Hewitson, then he is sitting at home watching on the
couch. One of the litany’s around the training yards, usual moans aside, is the
lack of depth in our jockey ranks.
Who is going to replace the likes of Anton Marcus, Piere
Strydom, Mark Khan and Anthony Delpech, Depech aside, that are nearing the end
of their careers in the saddle?
African Angel (Candiese Marnewick)
But before these seasoned riders rose to prominence, the
refrain was the same – who was going to replace the likes of Martie Schoeman,
James Maree and Gerald Turner, who in turn replaced legends Harold “Tiger”
Wright, “Cocky” Feldman, Johnny McCreedy and Charlie Berends to name but a few
of the late, greats of their time.
Along came Michael Roberts, who was a bit more than just
useful, the two Bert’s, Abercrombie and Hayden, were no journeyman riders,
Garth Puller was a legend and Basil Marcus, Barty Leisher, Felix Coetzee, and
my memory deserts, weren’t half bad either.
There may be small gaps between generations and the
complexion of the jockey room has changed, literally and figuratively, but the
cream will always rise to the top in one of the toughest and most dangerous
sporting professions on earth – Formula One drivers at 300km per hour have more
chance of surviving serious injury in a crash than a jockey taking a spill in a
race – or just slow track work for that matter.
Granted, Hewitson has teamed up with one of the best agents
in the game, Dees Dayanand, Anthony Delpech’s agent before his unfortunate
accident, but Dees knows a good horse when he
sees one, on the track and off it. So does current trainer’s championship
leader Sean Tarry who worked out Hewitson early in his career and was
instrumental in his championship win.
In the last two meetings at Greyville Hewitson has racked up
the winners. Three on Sunday, and his four-timer at Greyville yesterday was a
combination of finesse and straight grind. Injury saw a belated start to his
season so his chance of defending his national title was
dead in the water before it even started, but he cracked the 50-winner mark
yesterday in a rapid climb up the ladder.
In short, if Hewitson can keep a lid on his weight, Bernard Fayd’Herbe could be a mentor, and a sound head on his shoulders, his services will be in demand where ever he chooses to ride.
The 2019 Vodacom Durban July is still some three months away
but the debate around the weights is already a hot topic. In this light, Gold
Circle chose 20 likely contenders for the great race and asked National Horse
Racing Authority Handicapper Matthew Lips how he would frame the weights based
on current form.
Lips took into account those that would be under sufferance and added the actual
weight to be carried in terms of the race conditions and also used the July WFA
scale to calculate the weights of the three-year-olds.
As things
currently stand, last year’s Vodacom Durban July winner Do It Again would carry
top weight of 60kg followed by Sun Met winner Rainbow Bridge on 59.5kg.
Top weighted
three-year-old would be SA Classic winner Hawwaam who would shoulder 56kg, 1 kg
less than the maximum weight for a three-year-old male, with Gauteng Guineas
winner National Park 54kg.
It must be
emphasised that the 20 runners on the list are random picks of horses that
currently feature high up in the ante-post betting and are not guaranteed to
run as it is entirely up to their connections whether they take part or not.
Some
bookmakers have priced up in the ante-post market but punters must bear in mind
that their money is forfeit should their fancy not make the final field.
Betting shown below is merely a guide to the current market.

First nominations for the 2019 Vodacom Durban July to be run over 2200m at Greyville Racecourse on Saturday, July 6, are due by 11am on Wednesday, April 17, 2019.
The Vaal stages a nine race meeting tomorrow and with sun forecast
there should be no need for a switch to another venue.
Punters could get off to a good start with Union Castle, who
caught the eye second time out running on over this course and distance. He
looks to have those who have run held and the danger could be the first-timer
Fly Away, a Paul Peter-trained R100,000 What A Winter filly out of a one-time
winning Argonaut mare who comes from a speedy family. Fly Away is closely
in-bred to Western Winter.
Rings And Things (JC Photographics)
In the second race over 1000m Palace Of Dreams can be bankered in
the Bipot. She has a nice stride and showed resolve second time out before
producing a strong late run to just fail. A first-timer once again looks the
main danger. Montreal Mist is a R700,000 Soft Falling Rain filly out of
Esterel, who was a Listed-winning sprinter by Var so she should have plenty of
speed.
The first leg of the PA is a weak stayer’s maiden and Smart Deal
has a good opportunity to get off the mark from pole position. However, he is
not the most reliable sort so Robusto, who was only about 2,5 lengths behind
him last time, can be included along with Born Rich.
In the first leg of the Pick 6 over 1000m Robberg Express is a
nice looking son of What A Winter who has speed and the ability to stay all the
way to the line. He has not raced for 121 days but this is his third run after
gelding and he can go well fresh over this trip. Mr Whatson won from the front
on debut and looks to have a fair future as he showed resolve. He has substance
and a nice stride and has plenty of scope for improvement. Deerupt comes from a
fair form race over 1200m and is the best in at the weights according to
official merit ratings, so has to be included. Scoop and Dalai’s Promise also
have to be included in the Pick 6.
In the first leg of the Jackpot over 1000m Galactic Warrior has
always been held in high regard and his last win was over this course and
distance with a 4kg claimer aboard. He has been raised four points since then
but has another 4kg claimer up and he might well have benefited from a 103 day
layoff. Winter Storm is a progressive sort who is capable of overcoming a three
point raise for his last win. Purple Diamond has Galactic Warrior held on the
form of their last meeting but that was at Turffontein and he does not have the
best record at The Vaal. However, he should be included in all exotics.
In the sixth race over 1200m Operetta has shown ability but has
not had the best of lucky recently. She has consequently dropped to a mark just
two points higher than her last win, which was over this trip on the old Vaal
Inside track. She won by 3,25 lengths that day so if she can have more luck
than in recent races she can go close. La Bastide drops down in class off a
merit rating which has dropped from a winning mark of 81 down to 77. She has a
chance despite having to carry 61,5kg. Che Bella has a chance on formlines too.
Rings And Things bounced back to form with blinkers on last time over 1400m and
has won over this course and distance before, so she cannot be left out of the
Pick 6 and Jackpot. Generous Notion is better than her last run and is also
worth including, although she is off quite a tough mark at present.
In the seventh race over 1400m Witch Of The West has always struck
as one with some class and having had two fair comeback runs over trips too
sharp, she now steps up to her best trip. She will go close. Gimme Hope Johanna
had to overcome a wide draw over this trip at Turffontein last time and was
making late progress. She can be competitive here down the straight. Only To
Win is an honest sort who is also effective over this trip. She will be right
there as usual.
In the eighth race over 1400m Manhattan Cocktail is a talented
horse who can rise above his current merit rating. He is ideally distance
suited here too. He is made the best bet of the day.
In the last race over 1400m Refuge has a good chance as he drops back to his best trip off a lowered merit rating. Endofmarch is another one who will enjoy the step down in trip and his merit rating has also been lowered. Street Flyer falls into the same boat and those three could get punters through.
Tobie Spies had the first Durbanville winner of his long
career when Anthony Andrews made all on 27-4 shot Singfonico in the VHM Racing
Handicap last Saturday and he runs three, plus a reserve, there this Saturday.
Van Halen (Candiese Marnewick)
He is based at the Vaal and had his biggest success at
Kenilworth on New Year’s Eve 1988 with Yardmaster in the Queen’s Plate. He has
had a string at Milnerton for the last few months.
He explains: “In Yardmaster’s time we only took a couple of
horses for the Cape Town season but this time Van Halen (his most recent Grade
1 winner, in the Tsogo Sun Gold Medallion at Scottsville) was qualified for the
CTS 1200 and I thought I might as well take a few others as well and stay for a
bit. I have around 17 at Milnerton at the moment and I expect we may pull them
back to the Vaal in a month or two.”
What does he make of his chances this Saturday? “I haven’t seen the racecard yet so I don’t have a feel for the opposition but Steffi’s Graft (twice a winner at Kenilworth) ran well for a long way last Saturday but got tired towards the end while All About The Bass (second reserve in the last) ran a very nice race to finish third so he must be in with a bit of a chance if he gets in.”
Mpumi Majoka, who suffered a horrific fall while riding work
last year, is almost back to full fitness after spending six months on the side-lines.
“The doctors said that I would be off for about a year,
maybe 18 months, but it has been just over six months and I am determined to
get back in the saddle,” he said at Ashburton yesterday where he put a dozen
horses through their paces.
Majoka, who was riding the crest of a wave before his
accident, went crashing through the rails when a stirrup leather snapped while
riding work. His knee was severely injured and a severed artery added to the
complications.
“The surgeon said that he could amputate my leg, or I could
take a chance as it was a life-threatening injury. I decided to take a chance.”
The 22-year-old, who has ridden 58 winners, said he was
about 96% fit but would take it slowly in making his comeback. “I am working
with a bio kineticist and will give it another two weeks or so before I ask for
rides. Maybe, one or two a meeting if I can get them.”
“I know it will be hard to make a comeback. You know that if
you are out of this game people forget about you quickly. Hopefully I can get
some rides here (KZN) before I go back to Jo’Burg but ideally I would like to
commute back and forth.”
The South African Jockey Academy has extended his apprenticeship because of the accident and to assist in his re-hab but Majoka only needs two more winners to lose his claim.

The South African stallion ranks suffered a devastating blow with the passing of leading sire Dynasty on Monday. The 19-year-old stallion died of a stroke, barely a week after Wonderous Climber became his 63rd Stakes winner with victory in Turffontein’s Aquanaut Handicap.
Bred by Wilgerbosdrift, the
son of Fort Wood and the Commodore Blake mare Blakes Affair put together a
glittering career.
Dynasty (Highland Stud)
Trained by Dean Kannemeyer on
behalf of owners Fieldspring Racing, he scored nine times from two to four and
was crowned the country’s Horse of the Year and Champion Classic male at the
end of a sophomore season which saw him put together a stellar Gr1 peat of the
Cape Derby, SA Guineas, Daily News 2000 and the Vodacom Durban July. In the
latter, he jumped from the extreme 20 draw and despite racing wide for some
way, produced a powerful finishing burst to win going away.
Dynasty retired to Highlands
Stud (now Ridgemont Highlands) in 2005 and in time became the famed nursery’s
flagship stallion. Although never Champion sire, he was a permanent fixture
among the country’s elite, his best position being second on the General Sires
List in 2013 and 2014.
Ironically, in 2014 he was
denied the sires title by the weather gods when the final big-race meeting of
the season, Greyville’s Gold Cup day, was postponed by a week due to a
waterlogged track, thus falling into the new racing season. Involved in a tight
race with Captain Al at the time, history will show that the victory of Futura
in the Gr1 Champions Cup would have assured him of the title.
Nevertheless, Dynasty enjoyed
a stellar stud innings and has the distinction of siring no less than three Horse
of the Year recipients. First-crop son Irish Flame, winner of the Gr1 SA Derby
and Daily News 2000, received the accolade in 2009, while Legislate and Futura followed
in 2014 and 2015 respectively. Legislate won all of the Gr1 Cape Derby, Daily
News 2000, Vodacom Durban July and Rising Sun Gold Challenge, while Futura
accounted for the Gr1 J&B Met, L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate and two renewals of
the Champions Cup.
Dynasty’s 15 Gr1 winners also
include the champions Beach Beauty, Bela-Bela, Just Sensual, Lady In Black and
It’s My Turn. Twice the country’s champion older mare, Beach Beauty had few
equals amongst her peers and annexed two renewals each of the Gr1 Garden
Province and Paddock Stakes, whilst beating the males twice in the Gr2 Drill
Hall Stakes.
Bela-Bela’s victories in the
Gr2 Daisy Filies Guineas and Gr1 Woolavington 2000 assured her of the title of
champion three-year-old filly in 2015, a feat emulated by Gr1 Cape Fillies
Guineas winner Just Sensual two years later. Gr1 Thekwini Stakes victress Lady
In Black garnered the champion juvenile filly title in 2016, while It’s My
Turn, trained like his sire by Dean Kannemeyer at the time, lifted the champion
stayer’s title last season when he won all of the Track And Ball Derby, Gold
Vase and Gold Cup in the space of just over a month. This season has brought
further classic success, with Front And Centre winning the Gr1 Cape Fillies
Guineas.
Although it’s early days yet, Dynasty’s role as a sire of sires is off to a promising start. Jackson, who joined his sire at Ridgemont Highlands in 2014, already counts Gr1-placed Can You Feel It and Gr3-placed Mr Crumford amongst his first crop runners. Legislate and Futura, together with Gr1 Cape Guineas hero Act Of War will make their bow in the sales ring this year, where their sire proved a powerhouse. No stranger to his progeny commanding seven-figure prices, Dynasty sired the record-breaking R5.2 million top lot at last year’s National Sale.
Beaten only once in five starts this term, Garth Puller’s
runner Sea Urchin has been something of a late starter. The gelding has come
into his own as a seven-year-old and five of his eight successes have come in
his last seven starts.
He steps out under top weight in the opening leg of the Pick
6 on the Greyville poly today and there is not reason to doubt that he can go
to the well again.
Sea Urchin has crept up the ratings and only got a
three-point raise after his last win where he kept finding under apprentice
Jason Gates. Gates will be aboard again this afternoon, this time only claiming
2.5kg, but he is a much improved rider in spite of his many brushes with the
‘law’.
Sea Urchin (Nkosi Hlophe)
Ronnie Rocket has been a soldier for Pat Lunn and he made
all to beat the well-fancied Wayward over the Scottsville 1200m. The gelding
gets on well with Keagan de Melo who will know exactly what he is up against
have partnered Sea Urchin to victory on two occasions.
Buckleberry and Solid Gold are others to consider.
Brighteyebushytail has had to overcome a myriad of problems
and was one of the worst affected by the virus that plague the stable last
season. Duncan Howells appears to have nursed him back to form and he caught
the eye when just out of the money behind the promising Last Of The Legend,
giving the winner 6kg.
He has the steadier of 61kg in the saddle but has dropped in
class so should be up to the task. Lyle Hewitson is riding up a storm of late
so Zanzibarian must be a contender along with What A Scorcher, promising Clouds
Of Witness and Haddington whose stable was in red-hot form on Sunday.
Hewitson and Louis Goosen teamed up with Jo Mambo to close
off the meeting on Sunday and Duke’s Dozen looks set to make a winning debut for
his new stable as he is stepped up to what looks to be a more suitable trip given
his pedigree. He was touched off over a mile on the poly last time out and
rates the one to beat.
The seventh is a wide open affair with any number of runners
in with solid winning chances. The Private only got going when the race was all
but over last time and the extra furlong could be more to his liking. But he
will face serious challengers in Noble Joshua, Sovereign Soldier, Victorious
Man and local debutant Gimmie A Cohiba to name but a few contenders.
Punters face a similar dilemma in the last, another extremely competitive handicap. Paul Gadsby could hold the key here with Arrow’s Mark. The gelding has his third run after a lay-off and takes a drop in trip. He also has a pedigree that suggests that the poly track may be his forte and Gadsby has declared blinkers on his charge. Grand Maestro and recent maiden winner Maa Nonu look possible threats.
Justin Snaith needs the field for the R4 million Premier’s
Champions Challenge to be much smaller than its present 22-nominated if he is
to run Made To Conquer in the Turffontein 2 000m Grade 1 on May 4. The
problem is that last year’s Durban July runner-up is drawn 18.
Snaith said: “I am not going all that way to run from a wide
draw. It’s hard enough going to Jo’burg even without that. I am going to run
him once in Durban and then make a call.”
Made To Conquer (Candiese Marnewick)
Made To Conquer is an 18-1 chance with World Sports Betting
whose early prices are dominated by horses trained by Mike de Kock – Hawwaam
hot favourite at 11-10, Barahin (7-1), Cascapedia (8-1) and Soqrat (9-1). The
Sean Tarry-trained Legal Eagle (15-2) is the only non-de Kock horse priced in
the top five.
Glen Kotzen has a possible tilt at the Vodacom Durban July
at the back of his mind for Herodotus who showed what he is capable of when
stepped up to ten furlongs for the G-Bets Cape Derby, finishing third to
Atyaab.
The Woodhill trainer said: “Herodotus will stay put for now
and go for the Winter Series. If he steps up further then we might go for the
July with him.”
Plans have still to be decided for Elusive Trader who
collected R1 million for finishing second to Cirillo in the CTS 1200.
Greg Ennion said: “At the moment the horse is in work but
taking it easy and I want to give him as long a break as I can. I might then
send him to Durban but the owners (Marsh Shirtliff and Bryn Ressell) and I
haven’t discussed it yet.”
The Klawervlei Farm Sale Stakes proved a popular call at Durbanville
on Saturday and it looks like becoming an annual event. The winner cost only
R25 000 and, without wishing to sound like an advert, it’s worth noting
that the Farm Sale (on June 15 this year) also boasts graduates of the calibre
of Edict Of Nantes and Captain Of All.
Paul Matchett and Master Of My Fate were the toast of Turffontein
on Saturday. Matchett saddled three feature winners and Master Of My Fate was
sire of two feature winners.
The Paul Matchett-trained two-year-old Master Of MY fate filly Basadi
Faith is suddenly hot property after passing her first real test with flying
colours. She waltzed away with the Listed Ruffian Stakes over 1000m. She had
caught the eye when flying home with long strides to win on debut over 800m and
she followed up with a cosy win over 1000m at the Vaal. However, on Saturday
she was allowed to go off at generous 6/1 odds as she had to give 2kg to the
highly touted Mike de Kock-trained Gin Fizz and there were one or two other
promising horses in the race too.
Gin Fizz was the most disappointing horse of the weekend, but this
was more a case of everybody under-estimating Basadi Faith. It was
yet another lesson in jumping the gun when rating two-year-olds.
Basadi Faith (JC Photographics)
The De Kock yard had been concerned about Gin Fizz’s temperament
when she made her debut three weeks earlier and said in the aftermath of her
comfortable 7,40 length win, “She is a bit temperamental though and has been
ready for a while. Full marks to whisperer Malan du Toit as she could easily
have gone the other way – we were quite nervous but I’m pleased with the
effort.”
However, on Saturday she was seen by Tellytrack
viewers to play up behind the stalls. She then proved to be no match for Basadi
Faith despite receiving weight and having started at odds of 1/4.
Gin Fizz jumped out well and displayed the same
huge stride she had done on debut. However, instead of being able to cruise the
whole way as she had done on debut Gavin Lerena had to shake her up at the
halfway mark in order to catch the speedy Basadi Faith. She then showed her
inexperience and became a touch unbalanced. Basadi Faith was not stopping and
it suddenly became apparent that Gin Fizz was making no impression. Gin Fizz’s
time was slightly slower than her debut effort over the same course and distance.
She was beaten 4,5 lengths this time and it was suddenly the name Basadi Faith
who was on everybody’s lips.
Matchett said Basadi Faith would likely go
straight for the Grade 2 SA Fillies Nursery over 1160m at Turffontein on
Champions day May 4. The Grade 1 Allan Robertson over 1200m at Scottsville on
May 25 is also a possibility as he reckoned she would be just as comfortable
over 1200m. Matchett won the latter race with the 30/1 shot Brave Mary in 2017.
He said if taking part in the Allan Robertson this year he would be going in
with more hope than he had back then.
Matchett liked Basadi Faith’s conformation and
pedigree at the CTS April Yearling Sale and clinched her for what has proved to
be a bargain R45,000. Her sire Master Of My Fate (Jet Master) had to be retired
before fulfilling his immense potential and her Captain Al dam Coral Colour,
who won twice as a two-year-old, is out of a full-sister to one of the best
sprinters seen in South Africa in recent times, National Colour.
In the previous race Matchett’s two-year-old
Wylie Hall colt Twilight Zone had dead-heated with another touted De
Kock-trained horse, the New Zealand-bred All Too Hard colt Frosted Gold, in the
Listed Storm Bird Stakes over 1000m. The time for this race was 0,89 seconds slower
than the Ruffian Stakes which underlines how good Basadi Faith is.
Matchett later won the Listed Bauhinia Handicap
over 1000m with the Where’s That Tiger filly See You Tyger. She was only
half-a-kilogram under sufferance off a mere 80 merit rating so it was not a
vintage renewal but she won in good style. Her time was only 0,02 seconds
faster than Basadi Faith’s, despite carrying only 52kg, as opposed to Basadi
Faith’s 60kg, and being a year older.
So Basadi Faith could be something special and
she is in good hands as Matchett was a three-times Zimbabwean Champion trainer
and has won a number of Grade 1 sprints in South Africa.
Master Of My Fate’s other winner on the day was
the Tyrone Zackey-trained colt Gift For The Gap and this is one to follow for
the rest of the season. In his previous start he had caught the eye surging
late over 2000m. In Saturday’s Listed Derby Trial over 2000m he came from the
back of the field with a telling run and won by 0,50 lengths carrying 56kg off
an 85 merit rating. What is particularly impressive about this horse is his
scope for improvement as he is still immature. He could develop into a top
bracket sort.
Another promising horse emerged in the next
race in the form of the Alec Laird-trained three-year-old Mambo In Seattle
filly Bize. She carried only 52kg in the Listed Oaks Trial but the impressive
part of her comfortable win was that she was caught wide near the back which
usually saps the energy coming up the Turffontein hill. It didn’t stop her
cruising up on the outside and winning effortlessly.
The other features on the day were the Non-Black Type (NBT)
Sun Chariot Handicap over 2400m and the NBT Gold Rush Sprint over 1100m for
three-year-olds. The former was won comfortably by the consistent Geoff
Woodruff-trained Sunshine Silk. She is coming into her own in the typical style
of a four-year-old by Silvano. The latter race was won by the Announce colt Old
Man Tyme, owned, trained and bred by St. John Gray.
1st Dream Dancer (Veale/Crawford MR67 A 59kg
draw 5) Fair pace, strode out well enough,
driven at 200m mark and eased before line 59.35 seconds
2nd 1,50 Fools
Gold (Wright/Hill S 57kg draw 1) Fair pace, strode out well but couldn’t match older horse when
asked for an effort at the 200m mark. 59.56 seconds
3rd 1,60 World
Cruise (Ferraris/Robinson MR41 A 60kg draw 8) Held together until 200m mark and then
quickened well. As a big, immature sort would likely have benefited from a rest
and cold improve on his poor maiden form. 59.58 seconds
4th 2,00
Windcheater (Jacobson/Crawford S t 60kg draw 4) Showed some pace and made
some late progress when encouraged. 59.63 seconds
5th 2,20 Dutch

quickened when asked but needed it and faded late. 59.66 seconds
6th 3,30 Angel
Bouquet (Brown/Govender A 56kg draw 2) Jumped left but thereafter displayed a fair action without being
asked a lot, will improve. 59.81 seconds

action and stayed on. 60.36 seconds

needed it. 60.6 seconds
