Face North and Kevin Shea beating Eric Chelin and Pas de Quoi in the Cape Guineas at Milnerton was my favourite. I was in Matric and had a r100 on the winner. It was 1990.

Seeing this is called 'Moments In Horse Racing' I would have to say it was the month after disposing of my last ever horse and and not having to pay a single horse account! Lol.

Yes Scotia, Crisp is probably remembered most for that 2nd which started the RR era, but he was a great horse in his own right, gave Rummy loads of weight...

Maybe Hibs could put that link on, even just the last mile or so?

Very true, 2cents. It always makes me chuckle when Ride of the Month nominees are almost inevitably horses that were forced home by brute strength, but a good number of races are won on brains. Sean Cormack's ride to win on Imperial State just a couple of months ago is another example.

Was that race not the Mainstay 1800, and I think Main Man was the first horse to earn more than a million rand.
Do you guys remember Yard Arm and Wolf Whistle?
