Weekend Highlights

MAJMU wins Fillies Guineas

Majmu (speed score 102+) won the Fillies Guineas as expected, her task made easier by the unfortunate withdrawal of Cold As Ice after a mishap down at the start. Majmu was ideally placed in the box seat and proved much the best with a strong rails run. The Redoute's Choice filly is likely to be

Louis The King wins Summer Cup

Louis The King (s/s 110) had run really well in the Daily News to get close to the awesome Legislate, despite a torrid passage. Given what Legislate is accomplishing, it seems that any horse able to get within spitting distance of the champ is liable to pick up a big race in SA. That is

Act of War wins the Selangor Cup

Dynasty was a great race horse and he has gone on to be a wonderful sire. It is quite exceptional that champion colt Legislate is outperforming his illustrious father on the race track, but that is what he is doing as he matures. Whilst Dynasty's racing career was somewhat curtailed, he nevertheless ran monster figs

Tevez wins Gr2 Merchants

Royal Colours dipped out going for a rare seventh win in succession when finding it a bridge too far at the MR 90 level on the Greyville Poly. Low weight Warcraft easily proved best, but Royal Colours really has optimised his chances under skilful handling to win his 12th - 17th starts. On the topic

Cold As Ice wins Choice Carriers

Top class fillies fought out the Choice Carriers Championship over 1400m at Kenilworth with Cold As Ice proving too strong for Double Whammy. In a race run slow early, they zipped home very swiftly indeed as Cold As Ice used her massive stride and natural speed to triumph. She will be aimed at the Fillies

R8 Whale Watching

Alcaponee has been a dedicated horseplayer for years - studying the form on websites like Formgrids and astutely monitoring betting moves before dabbling in some small wagers. He knows it is a tough game and plenty of luck is needed to connect those big payouts, so fellow punters should applaud his amazing recent feat when connecting a six-runner win multiple

Act of War wins Cape Classic

The strongest racing on the weekend was staged at Kenilworth and some really good performances were noted. Asstar (speed score 103) put his Durbanville flop behind him, when getting his tongue over the bit, to win a "mini-Merchants" in good style. Generous odds of 28-1 were available on Interbet as unforgiving punters spurned the son

R3 Rich Girl

It was cool to see one of KZN's stalwart sprinters, Kingston Boy (speed figure 103) bounce back to best on his first try of the Greyville Poly. Veteran horseman Doug Campbell had him in fine fettle after a three month break and he finished too swiftly for Nineteen Fourteen (s/s 102) and the pacemaker Flyfirstclass

Interbet racing fans had a busy weekend

  Interbet racing fans had a busy weekend and there were some notable performances on tracks around the country. At Turffontein, the filly Siren Call (speed figure 97) won her second consecutive start with a fluent win. She got the better of Smart Call in the closing stages and looks worth following in stronger fields.

Reim wins Matcem

There were four features contested as the Spring season got under way with Graded contests in Jozi and Cape Town. The best rating went to vastly improved sprinter miler Reim (speed figure 107) who has done brilliantly since trainer Glen Puller chose to fit blinkers and use forcing tactics. The track conditions suited that style
