I was lucky enough to see him win his Maiden at Turfontein. One of the best looking horses I have seen for a while typical Highlands type of horse but wow a looker of note.

Could not believe they paid R250k or so as a buy back .

Highlands who was taken over by Ridgemont will stand Rafeef with the Sheik still retaining majority shares.

All of our best race mares end up being exported to be covered by overseas stallions, right or wrong I don't think that helps much long term if your just looking to breed another stallion.

We racing newbies are very gullible and will believe anything a jockey says. This is what Striker had to say to about the 2 horses that he was riding. '' I ride Lady of the House who is well held on numerous runs and has her work cut out to place". The other horse " I ride Captain Splendid who is well held and i would be pleased if he found a place". Both of the above horses won their respective races. Needless to say as a newbie i scratched both his horses from my selections.All i want to know is , was his comments fair to the punter. I think it was completely misleading - last time for me to ever read his column again.

you are not going to get many responses re your post as the blokes on here hero worship him and that other rider from Durban. You say that you are new to the game so best is to pick what you like, dont rely on newspaper columns or when you hear people say "i heard a whisper" ffs if it was a whisper then nobody would hear it or when people tell you that "this cant get beaten etc etc" Follow a stable or two for small stakes and also one or two jockeys. If you believe that you are going to make tons of money in a short space of time then go and make a record or go to Hollywood and hope to be spotted. Whatever you do dont let horse racing become an addiction. Spend what you can afford to lose. Enjoy yourself and dont make it and make or break affair. If i had my time over i would never have had a bet in the first place. Fortunately i know when to draw a line and can go weeks without having a bet (unless Ziets horses are running at Flamingo)
