Thanks - proof of the pudding ...... plenty of others that needs consideration like Red Ray, Louis the King, Legislate, Willow Magic, Arcetri Pink, Athina, Master of my Fate, Pomodoro. Cape Town Noir, Hill Fifty Four, All is Secret, Jet Aglow, Espumanti - not easy :S

The most difficult for me to pick is the male sprinter for the Golden Horse and Mercury and then obviously the stayer. You mentioned most of my other in your list.

For the sprinter I like Here Comes Billy - some very good runs at unfavorable weight terms lately (tu) - good backup imo for Via Africa (tu)

At Clairwood and Scottsville Contador a very accomplished runner .... may be my sprint anchor

Madji I have split my sprint entries between Contador and Barbosa. Barbosa will carry a light weight in the Golden Horse sprint, just important to get a good draw in race.

The 2014 Charity Turf Challenge kicks off on, Saturday 3 May, and finishes on Gold Cup Day, “Super Saturday”, 26 July.

Competition DEADLINE for entries was 13H00 but has now been EXTENDED TO 13H30 on Saturday, 3 May.

MASTER OF MY FATE out for the rest of the season and this will be updated on the list of horses on the website as:



Horses that are marked in RED will now NOT be campaigning during Champions' Season

What they mean NON PROFIT ?? I going to turn a profit of R99500 or so....(

I got up at SPARROW poep to edit my entries as I am bowling all day..... and I am unable to find any list of qualifying horses where there are horses marked in RED... Not even MomF ..... :X ... so I start with a handicap .....grrrr !! I downloaded the latest list...MomF is still listed IN BLACK... and no red horses. Any early bird who can point me in the right direction?

Found the excel spreadsheet listing ..... got excited..... to no avail... more :X

OK, much ado about nothing... on the actual entries the drop down box has the red..... on one horse ...MomF...
