there were two races....and CTN was in his own league in this one,....(tu)

whats up with bernard? another doubtfull ride. i remember, he was one of the best rides in south africa...

Paterfamilias was given a perfect ride....in a different division to CTN....CDO was a surprise to me....:

EEEEEEYAHHHHHHHHH ! Bloody hell .... at the 300m mark they could put the winner in the frame... I was watching KOP and he was not looking happy with proceedings... am surprised he made 4th.

Hats off to all you CTN fans... well done.

well done honest karl and dean kannemeyer.brilliant win and definitely best 3yr old colt in rsa.
very good run by drier horse to get 2nd.

I don't want to overplay this win and I'm not making mountains out of mole hills here, but he doesn't remind me of Noordhoek at all, this is much better than NF (IMO). If he stays sound and in good nick I think this could be a serious race horse (Anyone who knows me knows I don't say this too often about unproven 3 year olds).

Lets wait and see but for me, the guineas is in the bag frankie.....whomever the gauteng or natal boys bring has to be very, very good to beat him.

just my opinion of course.

I have seen nothing to make me change my mind

CDO gave many in the race 1.5 kgs last time

Tommy H...you in the same league with mr h...in my book....your opinion is highly respected....

if there is one thing I've learnt...you cannot beat a classic/guineas horse....(tu)
