Zeb owes me a few rand , hope to get it back tomorrow

R2, Transcend, think the support is for the right one here. The older Over The Way has had a few chances and remains a maiden, Turndownthelights does look to have a bit to find. Evening Song has been ridden by Fourie previously, on all three occasions, would imagine if she had some ability over today's trip, he would have stuck with her. From a decent draw think Transcend should win this.

R4, Double The Fun, gets away on terms will be hard to beat. Has improved with every start.

KING SALADIN (WIN)

40/1

Dam was a sprinter only ran over 1000 to 1200m

8 winners in total and many places

Its hard to understand every race she has won,when using GALLOP

But did find this article on sporting post

Trainer Roy Magner produced the Count Dubois mare Kinematic Countess in an enthusiastic mood as she swept aside her mostly younger opposition to win the R250 000 Gr3 Sycamore Sprint at Turffontein on Saturday for the second year in a row. S’manga Khumalo rode a confident race as he produced his mount from off the pace.

This was Kinematic Countess’ second win in the Sycamore Sprint, after going unplaced behind Extra Zero in 2012. It is also only the second time that she has won over further than 1000m in 8 victories.

Which in itself seems strange, as she is a sprinter who enjoys being switched off and then turning it on late. One would imagine she would go 1200m, but versatile she certainly is, having won four times on sand. Blinkers also did not help her when tried,

She should make a great broodmare for her new owners Maine Chance Farms with this second dollop of black type doing no harm to her paddock aspirations.

Stan Ferreira’s Winter Passion was slow out as Mary Stuart led Samba Serenade and Virgo’s Babe.

Into the final 400m Virgo’s Babe moved up on the wide outside and went on strongly as Khumalo angled Kinematic Countess through the middle.

Trainer Roy Magner was thrilled with the win

At the 200m it was apparent that the Magner mare had them beaten and she ran on well to beat Mary Stuart by a half length in a time of 65,99 secs.

Virgo’s Babe who had loomed so dangerously down the outside stayed on for third, with the KZN visitor Choir Maiden never getting into it and running a modest fourth.

The favourite Dolomiti ran right downfield and never showed.

Jockey S’manga Khumalo said afterwards that once Kinematic Countess had kicked, ‘there was nothing to go with her’. He added that she loved the 1160m distance.

Trainer Roy Magner said that he was pleased and appreciative of the fact that Maine Chance Farms had left Kinematic Countess in his care after they had bought her.

“She is such a pleasure and will be a lovely broodmare,’ he said.

He added that he hoped to keep her in training for a few more runs, although the arrangement appears that she will go to stud at the end of this season.

A R115 000 Ready To Run graduate, Kinematic Countess was bred by Pierre Du Toit, and is by Count Dubois out of the lightning fast seven time winning National Emblem mare, National Navigator, who was trained in her racing career by Doug Campbell.

She has won 8 of her 43 races for 22 places. Her stake earnings now total R934 250.

Quite a tricky card today.
Race 1 Watch support for first timers. Captain Turk fair debut and should improve on that. Stormin Norman consistent and will be in the shakeup. Wild Coast scope for improvement from fair debut.
Race 2 Regimental punted in to odds on. Gold a Medal, Camp David and Tillieangus all fair debuts and can improve to win.
Race 3 Veld Flower and Over the Way have to overcome bad draws but look the right two to fight it out.
Race 4. Forbach good last run this course and trip and narrowly preferred to Double the Fun, Dai Ichi. Themadirishsheriff two poor runs in the wet, but on earlier form could win at very long odds.
Race 5. Vforvictory looks the one to beat at the weights. Magic Mary consistent and should be right there. Quite a few others with chances.
Race 6. Star Chestnut is best off at the weights but will probably need the run. Agent of Fortune is progressive and looks the right one today, but can’t discount Catkin, Ready Steady Go and Zeb.
Race 7. Mushi Sterek should win this, otherwise open race.
Race 8. Mississippi Burning is the one to beat. Rebels Spirit course and distance suited. An open race and many with chances.

Gold medal win

Regimental... Part-owner D.L. Brugman...??
