Emerald Cup entries

Whiteline Fever past the post. you heard it here first!!!

Jet Jamboree will boss this race from start to finish..

Last years race

I agree with bob - Jet Jamboree has it all going for him and is my first choice, I think Shadow Line the only danger, and minor placings between Uncle Tommy, Tommy Gun, Tap Tap Makhatini and maybe Whiteline Fever (if he takes to the sand) - the rest I think can stay at home

BROOKE's CLUB for me with my place outsider KILLUA CASTLE(pity about the draw)

Strictly at the weights BC could turn it around with Shadow Line, but SL won so easily that I think he will have BC's measure again - I guess we will see on the 27th

Boys,if your fancy has the gate speed dont concern yourself with the draw

I disagree - wide draws a definite disadvantage

Strydom always comments on the severe disadvantage of a wide draw and I feel the same
Formgrids shows the best draws over 1450 are 1,2,3

I am also firmly in the Jet Jamboree camp, done everything asked of him on the surface, has a good draw and being a conditions race this year comes into the race well handicapped. Will take a good one to beat him.

GROOMS RACE CLOSES THE DAY AT EMERALD CUP

Africa’s richest horse race on sand will soon be upon us and typically the day is filled with horse racing, fun and entertainment for everyone.

Run over a distance of 1600m, the groom’s race is open to all registered grooms in Gauteng, but is limited to the first 40 registering. Emerald Resort & Casino sponsors the R15 000 prize money for the first five places.

and then we had ATIce also drawn wide but sometimes known to lack early toe and never recovered

Only 2 of the 9 previous winners were drawn out of the first 4 so history suggests there is a massive bias with the inside draws
