Yes made up the most ground - but still finished behind Wild One

He ran in all three legs - how many others did that?

Mr H, we all got our opinions and I don't expect to change yours - just to say that imo just by running in those races does not mean he should get into July - 2 of those races were over a trip at least 400m shorter than the July - but I will say that imo he would have been a more deserving entry than Love Struck - because he did actually finish 4th in the Derby

i know the response will be so what its only the betting but interesting to see that the bottom five in the betting on interbet are no worries do you remember wild one gothic and love struck...coincidence that they all 3yos?

Compared to CTN (and even Wylie Hall), No Worries is big value at 30/1 imo

Agreed, good place value IMO.

Clansmen are always alert,ear to ground,news breakers,howcome no one noticed that Teq Sunsrise was used as line horse after the SA Derby?

This was not dissimated via any media,although i did read here in early June ,that the July Log wasnt being updated by GC.

I'm also disappointed Telina didnt get in ahead of Gothic.Telina could be considered a 'two' legged winner of the Triple Crown' and placed in the other.


Well done to all the trainers for supporting the Kzn Season with their top horses.

Fantastic response GH

Part I don't understand is, GH says there is NO PROCESS OF REVIEW, (of the ratings) unless there is an official complaint by a Trainer or an Owner,so, who complained?
Or did the Handicappers review the ratings because GH told them too?
