Ramsden’s stars up for South African Champions Season

Cape Town trainer Joey Ramsden has been making KwaZulu-Natal plans for some of his stable stars for the 2017 South African Champions Season and Cape Fillies Guineas winner Just Sensual looks set to drop in trip.

Ramsden said: “Anton Marcus is quite keen to have a go at the South African Fillies Sprint and I think Derek Brugman is too so we will probably run her there.

“The race is a Grade 1 whereas the Daisy Fillies Guineas is only a Grade 2 and you need a draw at Greyville. Mind you, you need one at Scottsville too!”


2016 Vodacom Durban July winner The Conglomerate Horseform looks like trying to become the first horse to win South Africa’s most famous race in successive years since El Picha at the turn of the century.

Ramsden said: “He has had a holiday, he is still off a reasonable mark and he will go much the same route as last year except that we may try a bit further with him this time.

“Table Bay Horseform will go for the Canon Guineas (May 7) and we will probably give him a run at Scottsville first.”

The colt failed to run up to his brilliant Cape Classic form when starting favourite and finishing third in both the Selangor and the Cape Guineas while he managed only sixth when second favourite for the Investec Cape Derby.

His trainer said: “I haven’t lost faith in him at all – he travelled far too well in the Derby and that was as a result of his previous two outings.”

Vaughan Marshall’s two Scottsville Grade 1 winners of last year will be back for the day of speed on May 27.

He said: “Always In Charge runs in the Pinnacle there on April 16 and then goes for the Tsogo Sun Sprint while The Secret Horseform Is Out will run in the Poinsettia on April 30 before contesting the Fillies Sprint.”

In other news Cape Town racing manager Dean Diedericks is putting special organic material into the Durbanville surface layers to stimulate grass growth and he has also installed a specially-designed irrigation system.

He said: “We are still hopeful of resuming racing there in September and October but we will make contingency plans to accommodate those 11 meetings at Kenilworth should that prove necessary.”

will be surprized to see trip to heaven take his place in the scotsville sprint firstly because its a handicap and secondly the wfa mile race he lost on an objection last year is 2 weeks form the sprint race ..the mercury at wfa in july im sure will be his his other target ..his withdrawal from the pmb race will have a major effect on the weights of the race

Or does he accept then scratch after the final field has been announced ensuring that Captain's Causeway comes in with 52kgs and all below him carry the same weight instead of receiving up to 3,5kgs?

You are too clever

It’s on the cards, or in this instance, it’s in the entry lists for the four Grade 1 races on Tsogo Sun Sprint day at Scottsville on May 27 that this meeting could host one of the most talented and competitive gatherings of speed horses ever seen in the country.

With Scottsville in Pietermartizburg having become known as the Mecca of sprint racing in Africa featuring four Grade 1 sprint events over 1 200m on the same card and making up the four legs of the Jackpot, every one of the four special events have drawn entries loaded with talent.

The races are the R1-million Tsogo Sun Sprint, the R750 000 South African Fillies Sprint, the R750 000 Tsogo Sun Gold Medallion and the R750 000 Allan Robertson Championship and with such talent on show things are likely to be very hot on the challenging 1 200m track.

Top sprinters like Trip To Heaven, Talktothestars, Purple Tractor, Always In Charge, Attenborough, Barbosa, Lord Balmoral and Moofeed are among the 32 entries for the Tsogo Sun Sprint and there are many other talented nominees that could make this a highly contested race where any one of the final entries could win.

The grand dame of sprinting fillies, Carry On Alice, is likely to take her place in the final field for the South African Fillies Sprint along with The Secret Is Out, Green Pepper, Vision To Kill, Live Life, Exquisite Touch, Real Princess, Joan Ranger and Jo’s Bond with the star fillies and mares Bele-Bela, Just Sensual, Dawn Calling and Sail using the race as part of their season preparation programme but talented enough to make their presence felt.

The two-year-old contests are packed with potential future champions with runners like Woljayrine, Sir Frenchie and Varallo, the first three past the post in the Godolphin Barb Stakes matching strides in the Tsogo Sun Gold Medallion with Naafer that was runner up to the sensational Mustaaqeem in the Gauteng Nursery and Sentinel Stakes winner Arianos Bagofgold.

The first four past the post in the Strelitzia, Neptune’s Rain, Made In Hollywood, Gold Image and Princess Peach, could renew their battle in the Allan Robertson Championship and match their talents with the Pretty Polly Stakes and Gauteng Fillies Nursery winner Princess Peach and the Tony Ruffel Stakes winner Daring Diva.

Overall, the number of talented sprinters entered for this famous meeting is awesome and extremely exciting.

Scottsville the Mecca of sprint racing? Marketing nonsense.
