Corne Orffer has a lot to look forward to this Cape Summer season as stable jockey to Brett Crawford and the yard’s stalwart sprinter Bold Respect makes his seasonal reappearance on Saturday in the Cape Merchants over 1200m at Kenilworth.
He said, “He has had one gallop but his main mission is the Cape Flying Championship so this is a preparation run and we will want him to come on from it.”
Undercover Agent is another of the big Crawford-trained horses Orffer is looking forward to and he is well on track after winning over 1200m on his seasonal reappearance on October 27.
The Green Point Stakes on December 8 is likely to be his next race before he takes part in what is going to be a star studded Grade 1 L’Ormarin’s Queen’s Plate on January 5.
Orffer mentioned Charles and Hudoo Magic as yard three-year-olds who have a lot still to come.
