We always look forward to this time of year, the Joburg feature season has come and gone – almost as fast as the horses that performed on the race track, and we now look to see who the favourites through the summer months were. It’s also about recognising the key players that contributed through the year and this includes trainers, apprentices, jockeys, breeders, work riders and of course the owners.

Why shouldn’t Pinnacle Peak also be nominated for Champion 3-yo?

I'm sure he was on that list, but the others overall have done slightly more than him in the 3yo category although his performance against older horses cant be argued with..

He’s got no chance.. they even have Attenboroughs picture on the SP post.. forget about PP.. leave the poor oke alone.. he’s a happy boy away from the club

I don’t think there will be any surprises when the awards are announced. Do hope Coral fever gets 1 though but that is hopeful.

Johno get the suit out for Pinnacle Peak award.Will shit in winner of a grade 3 plus second in a grade 1 no contest.
