Last Out Law Will He Need The Run.Go Greenstreet!!

Last Out Law beat The High Life who subsequently shat in, will he have the beating of this field ?Has the class to beat this lot ,although carrying top weight and double digit draw to contend with I have a feeling Warren Kennedy will bring him home.

Now on another thread there are questions as to how younger people can be attracted back to racing. I hope that people like Justin Vermaak was present at this meeting. This guy seems to have reintroduced fun into the owning aspect of horses. If you attract numbers of younger owners who have a fun experience, social media will do the rest. Racing is an old mans sport at the moment there is no way around it.

They, Green Street Bloodstock won a race over the weekend in Singapore.

GREEN Street Bloodstock enjoyed a tremendous and highly significant win with our second runner in Singapore when first-timer Deadline Day ran on powerfully to win a Maiden Plate over 1200m at Kranji on Sunday. The race prize money was $75,000.

Deadline Day, trained by James Peters and ridden by Frenchman Olivier Placais, stormed up from a position just off the pace and won going away in a field of 14 runners. He paid out at 53-1 for win and at 10-1 for a place, surprisingly high although the three-year-old wasn’t fancied to win on his debut.

GSB Director Justin Vermaak, who battled to contain his excitement in the winner’s enclosure, commented: “We were surprised at how he pinged the gates, he got a sterling ride as well. In the straight he was travelling really well and then he went for the inside rail and always looked a winner. We are surprised he won this early as he still has plenty scope and being by Rip Van Winkle he should go further. Olivier (Placais) was very complimentary afterwards.

“I am over the moon, it seems my decision to leave the comforts of home more regularly to try make a go of it here was surprisingly met with some ridicule from some quarters which is quite disappointing but the proof is in the pudding and nothing ventured nothing gained, this is just the start.

“Deadline Day will now have a week off and then we will look at a novice plate for him in about five weeks, he looks like he could pick up a few and go through the divisions, what I am most proud of is being able to deliver for our owners. The horse banked R330 000 for this win on his debut and after only four months of training fees which total about R100 000 and he is only getting started, this really highlights the earning capability in Singapore.

“A special mention must go to our owners that have joined us in the Green Street Stable syndicate in Singapore – they include the owners of this horse Fred Blomkamp, Leslie Logan, Neren Singh, Roger Grant, Wilfried Pirzl, Wayne Gordon and Sharmlin Govender. It was a big leap of faith to take when we hadn’t even had a runner and were completely unproven, yet these guys followed through and are enjoying a great moment, not a lot of owners back home can say they have had a winner abroad or in Asia, these guys can.

“It’s good to get off to such a good start, this horse hit my desk through Gareth Pepper and our trainer James Peters who has a 16% win rate this season, which is excellent by Singapore standards, thanks must go to them for helping me source the horse which we are racing on a deal with New Zealander Mike Kneebone. Gareth has been an exceptional aide while I have spent the bulk of my time in South Africa, his updates and flow of feedback is top class.”

Deadline Day is by Rip Van Winkle from the New Zealand mare Scarlet Runner, the same dam who foaled Singapore’s former juvenile champion, Onceuponatime, nine years ago.

In case anyone would like to watch the race.

Well done to GSB team and all the owners hope to see many more winners in these colours.Ive been following this syndicate GSB and really think this was a great inattentive,also been following there runners and especially Last Out Law and really rated this one,unfortunately had to be sidelined through he's program,hoping he will comeback strong and go through the divisions and would be nice to see GSB have a runner in the July soon.

....brilliant ride from the frenchie.....and no wonder Justin gave up his job at Maine Chance as racing manager....he has spread himself wide to get horses into places like Singapore and deserves the success.....

Well done guys a tremendous achievement

I feel too much is geared toward promoting racing rather than the other aspects of the game.

I've yet to see a platform that allows the younger generation to learn about the other aspects;
- Training
- Breeding
- Handicapping
- Comentating

Numerous times in the past I had sent mails to many Trainers asking how i could get involved in training. Not one reply...

Numerous times I've sent mails to Stud Farms asking for more information on what steps I could take to learn about breeding as the thought of working on a stud farm as a breeder had crossed my mind. Negative response with very little guidance...

I even sent a mail to Tellytrack asking if any positions were available at one stage. No response...

I recall Rod Mccurdy's daughter tipping at a few PE racemeetings but she disappeared.

What about jobs as a horse dentist or farrier too?

Yes, racing seems like a tight-knit game but we also need to realise that it's not only about making a buck off the younger generation by getting them to the racetrack because the own a horse.

Having a few younger individuals that are invested in all facets of racing will prove to bear more fruit in the long run.
