London News July centenary victory

Posted on by

David Thiselton

The 2026 Hollywoodbets Durban July will be a milestone one with the prize money doubled to R10 million and with a longer handicap introduced as the topweight will be upped to 62kg and bottom weight lowered to 52kg.

It will fittingly fall on the 30th anniversary of the centenary July, which turned out to be one of the greatest of all Julys as it was won by the legendary Alec Laird-trained London News, who went on to put South African racing on the map by winning the QE II Cup in Hong Kong.

The renowned South African wildlife painter Henk Vos released his celebrated work, the Painting Of The Century, depicting a century of July winners, after the July’s centenary running.

The iconic painting now hangs in the Classic Room at Hollywoodbets Greyville.

Alec Laird actually ordered one of the prints of the painting before it was completed as the print had the first of his great Uncle Syd Garrett’s five July winners on the left and the greatest of his father’s record seven July winners, Sea Cottage, was in the centre.

The right hand side just had a blank with a silhouette of a horse, because Vos did not know yet which horse he was going to paint there.

Alec, who trained out of Randjesfontein on the Highveld, related, “He hadn’t made up his mind what horse he was going to put in the last panel (the 20th panel) and he even said to me ‘I would like you to win the July because I would like to put you as the last painting.’ With about a year to go I said to him I’m not going to make it.’”

However, fate then had it that London News not only became the 14/10 favourite for the 100th running of the July, but he was also saddle cloth number 20, being the only three-year-old in the field and the bottom weight.

Piere Strydom recalled, “I remember at the traditional Friday night cocktail Henk Vos was there with his big painting and there was one spot left for the 100th winner and I can still remember saying to someone that I think my picture’s going to be up there.”

London News duly won the race and Alec, London News and Piere Strydom are now at the forefront of the famous painting’s 20th panel and the horse is fittingly carrying the no. 20 saddle cloth.

The London News story starts at the National Yearling Sale of 1994.

Alec recalled big owners Laurie and Jean Jaffee’s chief aim at that Sale was to buy a yearling by their own 1987 July winner, Bush Telegraph.

Alec recalled Harmony Forever being his number one choice at that Sale.

However, he remembered London News being “a nice horse.”

He added, “On the first day a Bush Telegraph colt called Mr Newspaperman went for about R300,000. London News looked more athletic and Jean Jaffee actually said to me, ‘What about this one?’ On the first day they didn’t get a horse, the second day they didn’t get one and the more they asked me about London News the nicer he got, because I was otherwise going to go home without a horse!”

The Jaffees managed to secure London News.

Alec recalled, “He was a light youngster and even as a three-year-old was quite light. He didn’t show immediately, but we always had the feeling that he would be a nice horse when he matured.”

In fact, London News made a particularly inauspicious debut, beaten no fewer than 16,5 lengths under Anton Marcus in a 1200m Maiden Juvenile Plate over 1200m at the Vaal on June 6, 1995.

However, he got better and better and when he smashed the Greyville 2000m course record, which still stands today, in the Gr 1 Daily News 2000, he had won six out of eleven starts including the Dingaans and two middle distance Gr 1s.

Piere Strydom was aboard for the Daily News 2000 too.

He reflected on the 1996 July, the first of his four victories in South Africa’s greatest race, “London News was a lekker horse to ride because he had gate speed, a lot of natural speed and he would travel right up there in front and he had a good kick. But at the top of the straight (having led) I thought with a light weight let me just let the reins go a bit and get a length or two for the short straight. But he accelerated way quicker than I had expected and that’s when he made up three or four lengths on the field. Obviously it was going to tell at the end and he was stopping quite badly at the end. I heard the horses coming and I was just hoping for the line and he held on.”

Alec added, “Mike Rattray had invited me to watch in his box because it was on the line and he won by a neck but my eyes wouldn’t believe it because there was so much pressure. I wanted to see the number up!”

Alec described the emotion of being on the honour roll together with his late record-breaking seven-time July-winning father Syd.

In fact his extended family is comfortably the most prolific July-winning family in history with his grandfather Alec winning one as a jockey, his great Uncle Syd Garrett winning two as a jockey and three as a trainer, his father Syd winning a record seven as a trainer, and the cousins Dennis Drier, Alec Laird and Charles Laird each winning one July apiece – a total of 16 for the July dynasty.

Mastership claims his heritage

The R500,000 WSB Grand Heritage saw another big crowd enjoying themselves at the Vaal and produced its usual thrilling finish with the Diane Stenger-trained Mastership proving why he is held in such high regard and giving Marco van Rensburg a third success in the race that has the biggest field in South African racing.

Bred by the father and son partnership of Cecil & Dr Gary Baitz, the five-year-old Master Of My Fate gelding had been a supplementary entry for this year’s Gr 1 Betway Summer Cup.

However, middle distances had seemed beyond him, because sandwiched in between a 1600m and 1500m victory in October and December respectively this year was a 3,95 length fourth over 1800m.

He was given a four point raise for the 1500m win, but the key was that this long-striding sort had seem to have come into his own since being applied with blinkers and since being ridden by Van Rensburg.

Since blinkers had been fitted he had finished a close third to Obisidian over 1600m and then had the sequence of those two wins over 1600m and 1500m, with the 1800m fourth in between, and he was ridden by Van Rensburg in those last three races.

The Grand Heritage is a far cry from the Summer Cup, so the starting price of 10/1 was good value from a draw of eight on a day in which the course had been immaculately prepared, meaning there appeared to be no significant draw bias.

Three-year-old Yippie Kay Yay for the in-form Mike and Mathew de Kock yard started favourite in the 21-horse field and looked fit and well in the parade ring, but then played up on the way to the start.

 Obsidian and Master Christmas were 8/1 shots. but the former was going to have to overcome a three point raise for a narrow win last time, while the latter did not impress going down to the start.

Pressonregardless was also 8/1 and looked a picture going down under Richard Fourie, but carrying 59,5kg off a 104 merit rating was not going to be easy.

The Nathan Kotzen-trained raider Rollotheviking came in for support to start at 25/2, while the local Highveld horse Birthright came in for a lot of support to also start at 25/2.

Mastership pinged the gate and from a prominent position and without cover he drifted towards the outside, which is often perceived to be the better going down the Vaal straight.

However, Savanna Valjalo had stuck to her station on the 100/1 outsider Sonic Jet from draw ten and this proved there was no great bias as he held the lead until the 200m mark and kept plugging on.

Rollotheviking had been trapped travelling well behind a wall of horses on the outside rail, but fortunately the running on 100/1 outsider Bob’s Your Uncle shifted inward under pressure and Rollotheviking was able to burst through running on strongly under Muzi Yeni.

Some would have viewed Rollotheviking as unlucky, but Mastership was being eased at the line and still won by 0,80 lengths from the KZN raider.

Bob’s Your Uncle was a 1,10 length third with Sonic Jet beaten 1,30 lengths into fourth and Obsidian a 1,50 length fifth.

Yippee Kay Yay made some late progress to finish ninth, but both Pressonregardless and Birthright were unable to find extra after sitting off the pace and they finished 17th and 15th respectively.

Mastership was another triumph for Varsfontein Stud-based sire Master Of My Fate, whose classy son Jan Van Goyen won the prestigious Gr 1 Hollywoodbets Cape Guineas the previous Saturday. The Jet Master stallion is now lying in third place on the national log behind the two champions Vercingetorix and Gimmethegreenlight.

Mastership was bought for R300,000 at the National Yearling Sale by Scott Gaskell, who now owns him in partnership with Desiree de Andrade.

The pair have poured a lot into racing and this was their first feature winner.

The Baitz family purchased Mastership’s Argonaut dam Clear Sailing out of the Dennis Drier yard after her original owners, Robyn and Robin Muir, had decided to put her on the market as a three-time winner.

Clear Sailing has done well at the Sales and at the August Two-year Sale last year her Rafeef daughter Sistership, who has finished second in both of her starts for Alec Laird, fetched R800,000.

Marco van Rensburg’s previous two wins in the Grand Heritage were on Stuart Pettigrew-trained horses, Soldier On in 2018 and ExpressfromtheUS in 2020.

De Melo feasts on ‘plum pudding’

Posted on by

Andrew Harrison

Keagan de Melo may not have been flavour of the season in Hong Kong but I highly doubt that it was due to a lack of talent but more likely to do with a lack of opportunity. He will however, have honed his riding skills in the competitive Hong Kong environment and it was on display at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Friday night where he scored a hattrick in quick succession.

He showed a mature judgement of pace on Plum Pudding for Andre Nel and assistant Byron Forster in the Middle Stakes that headed the card and first leg of the Pick 6. He rode a patient race on the mare, coming from a long way back to seal victory.

Stable companion Terminator gave Tristan Godden a tough time, fighting for his head for much of the race before finally allowed his head and going well clear. With more in front than behind, De Melo allowed Plum Pudding to gradually build up a head of steam off the false rail and one in full stride, the mare quickened past the opposition to win rather comfortably.

He rode a smart race for his old boss Dean Kannemeyer, getting Continentalexpress home in the C Stakes over 2400m. The gelding was back over his preferred trip but De Melo, judging that the pedestrian pace was not to his advantage, took on pacemaker High Queue putting Sean Veale under pressure coming up the hill with the balance chasing. From there on, Continentalexpress gradually drew away from High Queue to win convincingly. The gelding appears to have come into his own this season and could well be a contender in the staying features towards season end.

De Melo’s run started in the second with Copacabana for Dennies Bosch in the opening leg of the PA.

Stalking pacemaker My Gucci Girl, he made an early move at the top of the straight and the mare kicked on gamely to stave off challenges from Golden Angel and Futano with many of the more fancied not in the hunt and a large number of PA tickets heading for the waste bin.

De Melo was not so fortunate in the fourth where S’Manga Khumalo took Numzaan to the front and was not for the catching as Frikkie Greyling’s charge kept up a solid gallop. Industrialstrength was making up ground over the final furlong but not quickly enough to cut back the deficit to mount a serious challenge.

Cole Dicken is a solid journeyman rider and makes the most of his opportunities when they come.

He replaced the injured Serino Moodley on Circumbendibus in the B Stakes and was given something of an armchair ride as Glen Kotzen’s charge ran away from his opposition to score rather comfortably. Second-placed I’m A Fireball, having his first outing after a six-month break, was given a gentle reintroduction but was running on stoutly for second and should come on plenty with that run under his girth.

Dicken picked up the ride on Iron Will in the last and he made all on Yadav Singh’s veteran galloper, chased home by favourite Music Is Life who tried gamely but never able to get onto terms with the winner.

It’s a revolutionary way to play, combining the thrill of traditional tote betting with unparalleled flexibility.

Understanding the Bet Types & Functionality:

Colossus Bets specialises in pool betting, where you bet against other players. The total money wagered is placed into a “pool”, and the prize money is shared among all winning tickets. The more people who play, the larger the potential jackpot! 

Some of the Bet Types on offer

  • Pick 1×2: This is a straightforward pool where you predict the result of each match – Home Win (1), Draw (X), or Away Win (2).

 

  • Correct Score: This is a more challenging but potentially more lucrative pool, where you must predict the exact final result of each match

 

  • Both Teams to Score: This is for fans of goals and fast paced action. Your task is to simply predict whether or not both teams will score at least one goal in a selected series of matches

 

Innovative Functionality

  • Cash Out: This feature allows you to lock in a profit before all matches (legs) in your ticket are completed. After each leg, Colossus bets will make you an offer to buy your ticket based on its current value. You can choose to accept the guaranteed payout or stay in the game for a chance at the full jackpot.

 

  • Syndicate Betting: Colossus Bets offers a unique way to play through Syndicate Tickets, allowing Players to team up and increase their chances of winning. Creating a Syndicate – If you have a betting strategy or consider yourself a “Pro”, you can create a Syndicate Ticket and invite other Players to contribute towards the payment of the ticket. Joining a Syndicate – Alternatively, you can join a Syndicate Ticket that another Player has already created. When you contribute to a Syndicate Ticket, you will own a share of that ticket. This share is directly proportional to the amount of money you contributed. If the Syndicate Ticket wins, you will receive a proportionate share of any returns (such as dividends or cash-out proceeds) based on your contribution. In essence, Syndicate Tickets allows Players to pool their resources, share the risk, and share the rewards!

 

  • Guaranteed Huge Sports Pools: Colossus Bets offers guaranteed prize pools often reaching life-changing proportions. This means greater potential payouts for a winning ticket!

 

  • Consolation Prizes: For many pools, if you narrowly miss the jackpot by getting a number of the selections correct, you can still win a share of a consolation prize. This means that you can still get a payout even if your ticket isn’t a perfect winner.
