St John won the South African Fillies Guineas with Finest View in the 1990s at Scottsville when in was a Grade 1.

He also had a horse and future sire, Announce, in the 1990s. Annonuce great granddam was Natalma. Natalma is famous for being the broodmare of legendary stallion Northern Dancer.

Guys what about a top horse called Flaming Rock, made lots of money when he won the July. Cant remember who trained this horse, use to come flying with a late run and either won or just failed.

Chris Snaith trained Flaming Rock and Karl Neisius rode him. Top class. A good story to how he got this horse as well, before Millard saw him.

......Announce was only a 4 time winner and only won 1 listed race in KZN....Thukela Handicap....but turned out to be a more than decent sire....Announce was also closely related to Danehill as his dam You're My Lady was a half sister to Danhill's dam Razyana......
