2012 CHAMPIONS SEASON CHARITY TURF CHALLENGE (CTC)

sponsored by GOLD CIRCLE

On Saturday, 09 June at Clairwood Racecourse, there was a total of 95 points up for grabs in the 3 feature races. In the Gr.1 Rising Sun Gold Challenge, odds on favourite Variety Club (Var) put in another sterling performance over 1600m. In a small field of 5 runners, he was simply too classy for the opposition and WELL DONE to the winning connections, trainer Joey Ramsden, jockey Anton Marcus, breeder Beaumont Stud and proud owners Mrs I Jooste & Mr M Jooste. For his followers in the competition, Variety Club scored 25 points, the Rising Sun Gold Challenge being one of the four bonus races on offer. Second placed Castlethorpe (Not A Single Doubt) scored 14 points and third placed Pierre Jourdan (Parade Leader) scored 9 points, both horses running tremendous Vodacom Durban July trials.

The Gr.2 Tibouchina Stakes attracted a competitive field of fillies and mares over 1450m. Trainer, Glen Kotzen saddled last season’s Equus Champion Juvenile filly, Princess Victoria (Victory Moon), who went off as the SAFTote favourite. She won a gutsy race and showed that her run in the Gr.1 South African Fillies Sprint was all wrong. Princess Victoria scored 14 points and will now be aimed at the Gr.1 Garden Province Stakes on July Day. Second placed Mombasa (Tiger Ridge) scored 9 points and third placed Frequent Flyer (Silvano) scored 6 points.

In the Gr.3 Cup Trail, the field was made up of many Vodacom Durban July hopefuls and for the majority it was a case of, “win it and you’re in”! The race turned out to be a fantastic result for trainer Sean Tarry and owner Mr C J F Van Niekerk when Gold Onyx (Black Minnaloushe) beat his stable companion, the remarkable 8 year old, Buy And Sell (National Emblem). Gold Onyx notched up 9 points for his victory and English Garden (Camden Park) ran a cracking race to finish third, scoring 3 points for his followers. Buy And Sell was not in the competition.

The next big point scoring opportunity is the Gr.2 Post Merchants, which will be run over 1200m at Greyville Racecourse on Friday 15 June (night racing).

On Friday (night), 15 June the Gr.2 Post Merchants 1200m was run at Greyville. Although a few of the “big” names from the sprinting ranks were missing, the race still attracted a quality field. In the competition the most popular result would have been the top weight, Depardieu (Dupont), who disappointed his followers when finishing sixth. The winner Mike’s Choice (Tamburlaine) and third placed Sports Coach (Jet Master) were not in the competition and only 9 points was scored for second placed, Rebel Knight (Jet Master) who finished in the same position last year.

Two horses that impressed over the weekend, earning a point each, were Gorongosa (Montjeu) and Happy Archer (Dubawi). The latter, a dual Grade 1 winner in the province, will next be seen on July Day in the Gr.1 Garden Province Stakes, a race she won in 2011 and Gorongosa’s main mission will be the Gr.1 Ladbrokes Gold Cup run on “Super Saturday” on 28 July.

The next big point scoring opportunity is the Gr.2 Betting World Derby and the Gr.2 Betting World Oaks, which will be run over 2400m at Clairwood Racecourse on Sunday 24 June.

The entire Leader Board can now be viewed on the Charity Turf Challenge home page.

This weekend’s results had little impact on the leader board. However, “aiddon” who was a point behind “JJ THE JETPLANE” last week managed to score a vital point with Gorongosa and now

ties the lead on 154 points. The only entry in the top 10 that has a runner this weekend is “Tracey” who is in joint 8th position on 148 points and will be relying on Taipan in the Betting World Derby. Otherwise, this weekend’s racing is a quiet one leading into the next crucial stage of the competition, Vodacom Durban July Day.
