Greatest South Africa betting coups.

Pierre Jordaan first time out backed all the way from 16/1 into a SP of 7/2. That was a coup.

A Coup?It's just an example of a pathetically poor bookmakers market that has no depth to it.

On the Bluff by Zaki approx 3 years ago @ aroun 66/1 .. priceless

Armourtrading when Gavin Smith had 5 of 8 runners in PE 20 years ago and Armourtrading comes up from the Cape with no form and and 2nd best jockey in teh yard...

Still remeber the commentary "and it is Armourtrading coming from the back for the pack 8 lenghts to make up .. .WON by 7 ..

now that was a coup sheza...a real coup that i know of...was told about the horse a week before the race and thought they were dreaming...little did i know...only got 12s on the day, bumma

this was no coup that was set up funny enough...yes you are right about the incident the race before, but that was not the reason. after that run, out of nowhere, the horse came on majorly all of a sudden.

It was about +- 2003 Lucky father in low Trever Lang was training and Lucky was riding still,Trever had a horse called Fallen they backed it from about 40/1 down to about 15/10 ,I was pissed off with Lucky coz he never told me LoL, it kaked in and Lucky rode it as well.

Lucky is very good at landing the gambles he has some very big punter in his yard

would love to get a copy - what would the cost be? keep us updated on the blog.

I have a copy if someone is interested ?

Here are a few I have been lucky on
Tommy Hotspur first time out and followed him until he was beaten
Misty Dancing First time out and second time out ,sold my car and used that money to back her
Tommy ,Naval Guest ,Mozao ,Misty Dancing all to come ,all arrived same jockey same trainer
Its A RAP 100/1 beating the Millard runner( Favourite ) Raining and tongue tie on ,this was the first time tongue tie on ?
Roses Warrior at Bloem Caught pic 6 as well with her ,was told if Stop them dead (favorite) beat her it would be the winner
Adriatic Port, Back after a long lay off
Woundebar ,,This was a blinder ,he was short money then race was postponed then he was 30/1 a few days later
I was given the Herman Brown horse on July day and could not get on 100/1 gave it to a friend he is still smiling
I gave this Forum Antious at 25/1
Quelle dead heat 30/1
And there have been some VERY close seconds as well ,that were very unlucky,,eg Quelle close second after running stone last at Scotsville I got 50/1 and she was just beaten :S
