The Vaal Thursday 21/11/13

I wonder if it rained there as the East Rand was again blessed with an apocalyptic hail storm at around 3am this morning - Roads are green with leaves

I really like the look of that Seventh Rock in the baby race. I think i want to have a small nibble, but can anyone tell me if the betting is out on this race yet?

how i miss the day of oom nic claasen you can put hes name on the winner of the first 800m juvenile race of season at new market

Why is Fransie Naude not riding for Spies? I found this strange looking at the card last night? Anyone know?

Life has no meaning without gnieman and Englander's jottings

Robert Maroun could also get them ready early

I remember Creator ( my horses was coupled first time over 800 mt)

My horse won over 2400 lol

all he best to clan members with runners today.Hoping for another great run by DirtyDealin Mamma with Striker on board.

Recon Alec Laird will have a good day today. I will be following him.

scratchings please and thank you in advance

Thanks Shrek

Guys here are my likings for today:
Race 1 : I hear Gee I Jane can run a bit. I like Captain Rock to be right there as well.
Race 2 : Lot of unraced individuals. Vars Bay look the right one. Tripswitcj Richard Straus ( inform Laird stable) must be watched closely. Dark ages will be there when they greet the judge. Lance also a horse that makes appeal to me . Play with caution and watch the betting market .
Race 3 : Pretty Special my pick, and classy looker to chase her home. Bravo Maya can run a place and watch the market support on the first timers!!!
Race 4: I hear Dashing Scarlet a very nice sort and should show them a clear pair of heals.
Apple tart with Striker should finish in the placings as well as Mogok's Express.
Race 5 : Be mine Tonight I hear is also a very good sort, I like Wensleydale to be right there. Ishezi could show nice improvement.
Race 6: Shadow ofhis Smile a very nice bet today and make strong appeal to win this race. Pegged for Glory and Jenny Green for minor placings.
Race 7: Desert Raptor my pick to win this. This race is more open and Mercuriel Brave, Flaming Force, Indian River, Antartic call, Bamako, Enchanted Guest and Glitter Alley must brought in contention.
Race 8 :Pocket Filler for me to win. Cage Fighter, Indian Giant, Gypsy myth , Artful Prince and Educated Guess must be considered.
Race 9 : Undercover Cat my pick to win this.Empire of the Moon and Dirtydealin Mamma not out of it.
Race 10: Wellesley strong chance to win. Gemstone cowboy the only danger.

A very difficult card and the more you look the more horses come to the front. Play well and hit them senseless.!!!!!! LoL
