Never knew that Phantom Earl actually beat Wolf Power over 1400mts in the Holiday Inns Trial at Turffontein giving him as much as 3kgs.
Phantom Earl had a full brother Extra Cover who was also a top sprinter and eventually a sire.

Great family as the best of the lot was Scarlet Lady. She was by Lords/ Scarteen who was a full sister to Masked wonder if I remember correctly. She was better than Extra Cover and I believe the best sprinter I have seen in SA and the best I have worked with including UK. Of those 4 top sprint races at Scottsville that are now on the same day, ( Alan Robertson, SA Fillies sprint, Gilbeys etc)she won 3 and ran a head 2nd in the other one. Should have won but anyway. Absolutely brilliant.

When that Holiday Inns Trial was carded I remember Francois Wolfaardt, racing journalist and commentator, publishing that hors d’oeuvre were always better than the main course (referring to the Holiday Inns race itself). I thought it was quite clever in light of the fact that he wrote a weekly newspaper article named “horse d’oeuvres” :-).
By the way, yours truly was at the course that day to see the Phantom v the Wolf.

The battle of the greys or was it roans?
Extra Cover was also a grey. Trained by Alistair Gordon and Craig Eudey I think.
Scarlet Lady also came from their yard but was not a grey.

Yes Extra cover was a big strong grey and Scarlet Lady was a very strong, almost black filly.
