Day 146 of the lockdown and a wonderful pic MAC.

I did go to the bottle store yesterday and no panic but certain customers certainly don’t trust Ramaphosa, trolleys were loaded.

Power cuts are back this week and it’s a pity that Preventive Maintenance was never in the vocabulary of the new government.

It’s still a battle to beat the bookies these days with hotties getting beat on a regular basis but back to decent racing from York where we can gain revenge.
Racing : from a cold Greyville where first timers play a major roll in the early races.
It’s day one from York
The Buick/Appleby combination have a strong hand and can win with
CLOUDBRIDGE .
I am sticking with DARAIN to beat the fav Mogul.
Darain first race was super impressive and the second was a bit hard work but I am backing this one until beat.
Buick and Appleby should be back in winners circle with GHAIYYATH can run a top class field off their feet.

As far as a song, if all goes well with MOD, one of the top MOD bands were Style Council and one of my fav songs.

A great start would be a family fun day at Randjies where we can celebrate before the hard work has to start.

If you re-arrange MOD, you get OMD...that great band of the 80's...with the classic movie song "If You Leave"...

Sharp 👍

I forgot to mention we went to pub yesterday, very happy and so were customers 🙏

Ugh man. Load shedding kicks in my area 4pm. I’m going to miss the Juddmonte. I wonder if DSTVnow will work on the mobile?

The pub is on different zone although only one street away, so everything points to happiness.

@ Mac
yes it works on mobile - just download the "toep" (that's Afrikaans for app)

Day 147 of the lockdown.

The sun is shining but it’s still rather cold.
We had 2 power cuts yesterday around 6 hrs downtime.

Will check today’s schedule to make sure I can watch York.

What about the performance from Ghaiyyath ( think I will just call it the big G)
A real galloping machine and the odds have been slashed for the ARC.
5/2 enable 3/1 Love , runs today and is 4/9 but couple of Frankel babies to beat. The big G is 5/1.

Racing drama continues and hope we can put all the red tape behind us and just get down to having an upswing for racing.

On the subject of G do you remember Kenny?
