Isidingo

He's possibly the fastest horse in the country over 500m, so its always been a surprise to see him kept in CapeTown where the sprint course is the country's toughest. Have often wondered why they don't send him to race at Turffontein, but at least he's left Cape Town and runs at Scottsville on Sunday. Can he hang on to his lead there, cos although its regarded as a tough test the times are pretty quick at Scottsville?

I'm waiting for Greyville...(

he stayed in the cape because of durbanville but can only assume there arent races for him there anymore and he aint getting younger.....he will be suited to greyville if and when they have a 5f for him but his latest form suggests he could of lost his zest for racing

Sorry, yes, I had forgotten about Durbanville.

The bends slowed him down at Durbs,was actually going to post Isidingo vs Val de ra over 600m on the match race thread..

This is a very good spot. you guys are very sharp.

How about Arlington where historically sprinters from cape town do very well with the help of a strong tailwind.

He was carded there once a few months ago. Even I as a non punter was licking my chops - but then he got scratched.

wonder if he will act on sand? If he can use his early speed on the sand and stay on, then he might earn some moola for the owners

I heard he is on SABC 3 at 7><

Isidingo...the NEED..for SPEED

I am surprised that he has not been snapped up by the Bloodstock agents and sold on to Mauritius. Will win on his own !
