and we remember Dynasty doing the dbl

Wylie Hall, winner of the Vodacom Durban July last year but relegated to second behind Legislate on an objection, will bid to win Africa’s Greatest Horseracing Event, the Vodacom Durban July, again this year with his name being put forward officially by trainer Weiho Marwing at the first supplementary entry stage today.

Winner in his last two starts of the Colorado King Stakes and the Premier’s Champion Challenge at Turffontein, the five-year-old Australian-bred entire was not nominated initially but was placed second on the first published July Log behind L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate and J&B Met winner Futura.

Marwing has also supplemented his three-year-old Australian-bred colt Mac De Lago that ran second to The Conglomerate in the KRA Guineas at Greyville recently.

Also supplemented into the race is the three-year-old gelding MLjet from the Gavin van Zyl stable that finished third in the Selangor Cup and second in the Politician Stakes in the Cape and the four-year-old gelding It Is Written from the Dean Kannemeyer yard that was an easy winner of a MR94 handicap over 1 400m at Scottsville in his first race in KwaZulu-Natal.

It Is Written is carded to contest the R350 000, Grade 2 Betting World 1900 at Greyville on Friday.

There have also been 11 withdrawals from the race. They are Gogetthesheriff, Sabadell, Arion, Henry Higgins, Heartland, Greek Legend, Stormy Eclipse, Shea Devon, Rake’s Chestnut, Scotsnog and All The Bids.

The second declarations will be on Monday, June 1 with final supplementary entries closing on Monday, June 8 and the weights being published the following day.

By Richard McMillan

I see reality set in and All The Bids and the Sheriff have been withdrawn - Makes you wonder if certain trainers fail to realize that the best horse in their stable may not be the 50th best horse in the country.

Every year, a whole bunch of horses that have a minimal chance of getting into the July are nominated at first noms. Complete waste of +/- 40X R2k of owners' money.
It only makes financial sense to enter the top 30 or so at first noms, and if something else performs so that it will get in later, then supplement.

I sometimes think owners just want to see their names on a nomination sheet for the July - As Pirates would say - EGO - rather give the money to charity/your mistress or indulge in an expensive bottle of wine than being so vain or ignorant as to nominate a horse that clearly has ZERO chance of making the 1900 field let alone the July. Actually take the nom fee you would have spent and back your horse in it's next start - If it wins then you will be able to supplement for free
