Thanks Garrick. All the best. Will be shouting him home.

Garrick that last run was eye catching over a distance too short for him, BIG RUNNER today even if I rode him:)

.... Break a leg(tu)

Garrick good luck for today.

I fancy a real roughy today, Heredity in Race 5 Turffontein. He is better off with Take The Gap for when they last met and believe he will enjoy the 3000 meter trip. He could run into the money and 14/1 looks a nice each way price.

Todays Turffontein card looks very tough with top horses returning from lenghty rests, getting a run in for bigger races later on in the year and quite often like Wednesday with Zorba's Tale, the racing fit horses do rather well.

I agree the card is not easy - already missed out on Simply Blue (after watching her 1/2 sister's unsuccessful attempts at going into the starting stalls this morning at Randjies - it was sort of a omen in reverse).

I like Rudra, Mzingeli and Silver Lace (best bet) today and watch out for Not Fragile in the 5th - looking for this trip and MR has come down a lot recently

By backing jockeys like Christopher Puller on favourites will lead us all to the poor house.

True Tommy. You will get your money back on Maxixe when they put a decent jock up.
