Gone from winning a Grade 3 in Kranji in September to Zim

Aaah, if I am reading correctly then he won his last race in Kranji which was a Grade 3 on 20 Sep last year. (Oh yes you said above). His last three runs over 1600/1800 were also good.

Flax overseas form too good for this field

Formgrids throws Bamako and Silver Spring as both are by Silvano out of Bejewelled Spring. Bamako is not a nine year old (an 8yo) and Silver Spring is a gelding and still racing in KZN.

I guess Flax must have been exported as unraced in SA. ???

Perceived value for the Tankard: Flax 1/20

Sadly the promising filly, Pacifica, died on Friday as a result of a rapid infection.

Pacifica was due to run in the Castle Tankard.

Ugh

Fah Fee arrived safely in Borrowdale Park. An event free trip with only 1hr and 20min wait through the border.

“An easy trip up to Harare, unloaded at Borrowdale at exactly one o’clock Tuesday, followed by a long walk and head straight into the manger.

“On Wednesday morning he worked an easy 1600m on the heavy sand and did a strong 1600m on Thursday morning." Gavin Macleod

A NINE yr old entire :ohmy: .... I assume they bought and brought for stud duties???

Bridget Stidolph has four runners in the Tankard two of whom are ridden by inform jockeys Zechner and McNaughton. Question?
Why is her top weight, Flax with 60kg, ridden by a light weight claiming apprentice who is riding for the first time at Borrowdale?
