Three key withdrawals in the top 20 on the log of probable runners for the R2-million Sansui Summer Cup proudly hosted by Gauteng on 29 November have resulted in a third log being published.
November 12, 2014
The logs were compiled by the National Horseracing Authority handicappers with input from racing operator Phumelela. The first 20 on the log are in order of preference, the next 10 are the preferred choices of the handicappers but are listed in alphabetical order, and the remainder are listed in order of merit rating.
Any races run prior to final declarations, which take place on Tuesday 18 November, will be taken into account when the final Summer Cup field is announced.
Among these races will be the Grade 2 Victory Moon Stakes over 1800m, which will be run this Saturday 15 November at Turffontein Racecourse.
The second-entry stage for the Cup closed on 3 November and the final entry stage closes at 11am on 17 November. Horses supplemented late in the process could potentially be selected ahead of those currently in the top 20 on the log.
A horse entered before the 3 November publication of weights can only have its weight for the Summer Cup adjusted if it wins a race. A horse supplemented after the publication of the weights will be weighted according to its merit rating at the time.
The final Summer Cup field, which will be announced on Wednesday 19 November, will be decided by the NHA handicappers with input from Phumelela.
