World Sports Betting Met - Kenilworth Saturday 29 Jan

Interesting the best jockey in CT has no ride. Clearly some of the owners there don't care if they win the race that much.

Jet Dark is well in, will take some stopping, wouldn't be surprised if he jumps as favourite come race time.

He jumped ship and the rides were given away.

Harold Crawford.... a once in a lifetime July /Met double.
Kommetdieding and a win for the small owner.
Feelgood fairy tale ending for a new beginning FOR RACING.

Whats cooking with Cirillo?

With all due respect not a goosebump MET in my opinion

Small field of 11 with 3 runners no chance .

8 runners with chances and Do It Again don't fancy

7 runners in pick 6 with a couple of easier races on the card

Good Punting

The forgotten hero in this tale will no doubt be the rider who first discovered the talent of the horse in ride work and received some consolation for winning the Politician Stakes on Kommetdieding on Met Day..... last year.
Unfashionable jockeys have won the Durban July in the past if you look at names like D Mustard, P Wynne, W Harvey etc.
What a poster boy 4 Racing Sihle Cele would have been, his pictures splashed on the front pages of The Sowetan, Ilanga, Drum Magazine in full colour aboard the horse.
Just my 2 cents.

I agree - not the greatest field ever assembled - a fit and able Rainbow Bridge would have just added that extra spice. For me I find it hard to split Jet Dark, Kommetdieding and Linebacker, with Marina for 4th

Mariana will run a blinder. Finishing very fast in her last start. The extra distance should suit her.

If those 3 at the bottom of the boards can make the Met field it just shows the lack of quality we have racing here in SA now.
No wonder we get pick 6 carryovers nearly every other day,bad horses are inconsistent horses.
We badly need some new blood in the breeding ranks and we have way too many average to below average horses running in this country.
