I agree Press really nice to see that ...both the Van Zyl boys are top notch..

Yes we are lucky to have such nice lads in the game from the Van Zyl, MDK and Azzie families (tu)

What is the rule regarding the favorite and scratched runners.

The 9th race had 14 as favorite, with the coupling 5, winning.

P6 payout before the race was R32k. After the race winning numbers included the scratched runners with payout now R25k.

For some reason, I was always under the impression that scratched runners only get included if the favorite wins.

What is the the correct rule?

Redsailinthesunset reminds me of a C Laird horse called Rich Pickings....was rumoured to be catching pigeons at home before its debut...started deep in da red on debut and ran fifth I think..ran a few times being fav before winning maiden but then placed and won a few...Leave Redsailinthesunset out until he wins and then follow him...sheldon peters said he was unbeatable on USO...probably heard that from someone...and Royal Zulu Warrior...dissapointing after hearing so much...will adopt a wait n see attitude!!

If you follow this horse you will end up poor - Judge the horse on his races not his home work - After his first run it was evident he was a brass - Good horses win races against poor opposition he can't . Watch the replays of his races and you will see he's just an average horse
