Is Desert Miracle worth 5/10?

If it was not for the poor form of the TARRY yard, I would make RAIN IN HOLLAND the horse to beat.

It will love going over the 1600m and has beaten CLOFOUTIS in the past conceding weight!

I can't wait for Tuesday night....but given the delay it made me think a bit a longer....especially around the 06th race with the fillies... I know this is a brave thread which some may laugh at.

Dessert Miracle may turn out and win by 5, but I like the other two De Kock runners Bold Act and Clafoutis along with Rain in Holland along with the favorite.

My thoughts, Dessert Miracle is by Welwitchsa and to my knowledge the dam never won beyound 1400m, and in the Cape although she was running on, she was never catching Chansonette over 1600m. And given her draw of 10 with a few frontrunners pushing for the lead she could be jostled back in a big way over, over the tight standside track that favors low draws especially over 1400m to 1600m under the lights for first time on a soft track that would make this more like a 1700m race...

Again she could win by 5.

For me Clafoutis ran a cracker against males over 1800m, the way she quicken up at the 400m was impressive and was caught on the line. Like wise Bold Act...was stone last over 1600m and won like a champ in the last 200m. And given that Rain in Holland just ran a few lengths to War of Athena and a grade 1 winner over 1600m we can't leave her out.

All of these horses are running with the same form, a length or two here and there. On the line of form to Eternity Ring over 1400m and 1600m respectability both Dessert Miracle and Rain in Holland shouldn't be far apart.

I will not banker her in, although I know she is classy

Better bet would be Double Superlative to win the July at 10/1. Fill your socks there.

I doubt he will meet the older horses that beat him in the Met on any better terms.
I am thinking that Muzi Yeni will get his turn to land the big one if he Got the Greenlight.
3rd time lucky for the horse, Trainer and Jockey.

Ssshhhh.......

MDK referred to this race as a debacle. Will wait for his comments on his web site.

De Kock stated on his website:


The stable’s star filly Desert Miracle was beaten into third, in the G2 Gauteng Fillies Guineas. Mike commented: “This to me was a totally unacceptable ride. We’ll leave it at that.”
