How wrong you are.
Difficult to convnce you now but believe me you are wrong.
One consolation though, is that we would not be confined to such shorts odds the next time round.

Maybe I am wrong but she just did not look as comfortable as normal. Was it because of the wet( stable sounded happy that it was wet in the interview though), that she was taken on early by some very quick fillies who took her out of her comfort zone and they then faded out or is there a little niggle somewhere? Don't enjoy seeing top horses beaten.

Agra you also kept going on about how What A Winter could never beat Via Africa over the fast Turffontein 1000 meters. You were right there weren't you?
There is no WAW or Val De Ra in Sprints at present so could very well be the best of what is on offer at the moment.

I still believe that...... possibly because I don't want to believe anything else.

100mm of rain the night before; a filly returning from a rest carrying 60kg and giving weight all round; made the early pace and weakened late. Via Africa is a class filly and barring accidents will win all the WFA sprints in Cape Town this summer. These were atrocious conditions and today should generally be ignored in assessing form for the summer when the going becomes good.

VA ran huge as I have said before but there must always be a worry as she was well in under the conditions. The physical conditions did not suit her.
Another worry is that Strydom didn't ride her like a filly needing it, in fact he proper cut her in half to try and get her up. I know that is his job but I haven't seen him that vigorous in a while.
Anybody who says she is better than VDR currently is being emotional.
At the end of the season when she has won what she needs to win AND wins a graded handicap then we can talk.

If racing was never going to be called off then should have followed Schiffer and scratched as well.
