Elvis lay off that JWB out there at Crystal Springs - I'm sure you meant 'Tiza' was the favourite (or is it favorite - never quite sure)

very good jock.won a gr1 for mdk if memory serves me right.

Thank you for your reply and insight

In his last year of apprenticeship, Randall represented SA at the Emirates International Apprentice Challenge held over 3 days at the 3 different tracks

lets not forget he suffered a family tragedy this year?

Scottsville will prob be a memorable track, considering he won a grade1 there.
However,his best rides were for trainer Matchett.

I am not sure if it was you, I sat with one of the owners in the balcony. The guy with the black leather jacket,

yip agra, that was me, (a brown leather jacket ) i was the only owner there, plut trainer matchett, & the breeder who was from natal. Baby Elvis was having her 1st ever race ride, & we made the trek to Scottsville, because of her & the fact we were in a Gr 1 race. Elvis - let's rock"n roll nickname - wasn't given much chance by the tipsters, but at 40 or 50 /1 i just had to have a nibble.

i recalled before the race that Robert Bloomberg ? Broomberg ? had predicted a few months back that Lets rock n roll would win a Gr 1 soon
thank God i remembered his article, & had a wee punt at 50's
