Turffontein Saturday

in fact, sometimes from the armchair u can see it better. it was obviously, that he was too quick.
heavy mistake indeed. but of course i understand u, sittig here it is so easy to know something better. strydom a brillant jockey. so he will survive this.

Well I backed the 2nd and wasn't impressed with the jockeys delay in hitting the accelerator.
If he would have started he's run a tad earlier the winner would have interfered even more,
Maybe that would have woken up the stipes,but hey it Thats racing in SA

Does anyone know if there was a race review?? At least?
Methinks Anton might be going on holiday!

Blue Nile ew,took 14s,,

I believe they are of the opinion that it RL was well clear....I'm sure something will happen....

Think 1,2,3 will finish 1,2,3 again (tu)

I also had it bankered in some pots and agree............. but in terms of the new rule the result must stand.................but I would love the old rules back!!

I'm not complaining,but I thought the apple was more vigorous than Strydom.
I think PS thought he had it won or maybe the turkey is weighing him down..

I think this jockey Aucharuz borders on aggressive and dangerous at the death, despite/ not withstanding he gets the result.

Both satisfying (that you can get a good ride) and concerning (that he'll rival a good thing on form/ expectation)

Soul Singer. Looked unlucky last time out,definite place chance.
Great White. Ew roughie

I think your right,looks unbalanced.Gets away with it over sprint distances and on straight courses..
I'd worry for him in The Chester Cup
