Nominations Champions day

Siren’s Call is among the entries for the Grade 1 Wilgerbosdrift SA Oaks
over 2450m at Turffontein on Saturday 25 April in her quest to become the
third filly to claim the R1-million bonus on offer in the Wilgerbosdrift
Triple Tiara.
There are five Grade 1 races on Champions Day and the others are the
R2-million President’s Champions Challenge over 2000m, the R2-million SA
Derby over 2450m, the R1-million Computaform Sprint over 1000m and the
R1-million SA Nursery over 1160m
Igugu in 2011 and Cherry On The Top in 2013 both won the Gauteng Fillies
Guineas, the SA Fillies Classic and the Oaks to win the Triple Tiara and
Sean Tarry’s charge is just one Oaks away from following in their
footsteps.
However, she might have to beat Mike de Kock’s much-vaunted filly Majmu.
The Grade 1 Avontuur Estate Cape Fillies Guineas winner has accepted to
race in Saturday’s Grade 1 Empress Club Stakes and obviously after that a
decision will be made on her next move. Majmu has also been nominated to
run in the President’s Champions Challenge and the Gerald Rosenberg Stakes
From Tarry’s point of view he might feel comfortable against the balance of
the entries, most of whom Siren’s Call has beaten in the Fillies Guineas
and Fillies Classic.
The Derby could be the contest of the day if all the runners accept. They
are headed up by SA Classic first, second and third placed French Navy,
Amsterdam and Deputy Jud and include the horse who started hot favourite
for the race, Ertijaal from the De Kock yard. There are some other useful
prospects including Derby Trial winner Legal Eagle, Cool Chardonnay,
Rampant Ice and Shea Devon.
This year the Computaform Sprint could go to a filly as both Carry On Alice
and Alboran Sea look the runners to beat. However, last year’s winner,
Copper Parade, Trip Tease, Willow Magic and Dollar Dazzler are also among
the nominations.
Supplementary entries close on Monday 13 April with the final declarations
on Wednesday 15 April.
