Majestic Mambo has come out of the nasty incident in the SA Classic on April 7 “100 percent” and is back in full work, but the Paul Peter yard are not sure yet whether he will line up in the SA Derby or the Premier’s Champions Challenge on May 5 at Turffontein.

The incident led to a horrific fall for SA Champion Jockey Anthony Delpech, who is recuperating in hospital after surgery to his neck.

Majestic Mambo would have had a good chance of winning the race, such was the manner in which he was scything between runners from last before almost being brought down when a gap closed at about the 350m mark.

However, the Peter yard were philosophical.

They said, “It wasn’t meant to be. But, he is a big strong horse and is 100 percent.”

The next step for the Mambo In Seattle colt is under discussion with the owners, the Hyperpaint Syndicate, but they are still “in two minds.”
