Our Giant winning the Mercury Sprint.


Pocket Power..

Sounds good to me. Here is my 5 cents worth:

1) RAD's enthusiasm and happiness when he scored a double at Fairview a month or two ago!
2) Pocket winning the 2009 J&B Met. (We got married on the 30th and enjoyed the 31st together as husband and wife at the races watching my favourite horse!!)
3) Pocket Power
4) Justin Snaith sending Dancers Daughter to Joburg to take on the best there!
5) Croc valley winning her debut and getting beat in the fillies guineas
6) Pierre Jourdan

good idea Bob

1) Clan Classique winning

2) Sea the Stars winning Arc

3) Sea the Stars

4) RAD

5) Eruption and AP McCoy winning on just about anything

6) Eruption and Case Stated

1.JAY PEGS first covering in August....i hear that the quote on the farm was "die merrie is vol saad."
2.Sea The Stars winning the Arc.
3.Sea The Stars

I may have misread, but I know Hibernia is in Scotland but all his choices was about SAf.....Perhaps it should only be kept to SAf achievements for now?

Just a though

1) Leading in Gilmore Girl after her win at Clairwood on the 15th February.

2) Mine That Bird coming from a distance to win the Kentucky Derby comfortably and the amazement in the Commentator's voice when he realized it was Mine That Bird.

3) Pocket Power (True Champion)

4) RAD

5) Watching Pocket Power win the Queen's Plate / Met double again but being beaten by the pace in the July.

Best Moment in Sport: Usain Bolt smashing both 100 and 200 meter world records in the World Champs.

1. Everytime I could shout for joy as I had a winning ticket.
2. Pocket Power winning the Met for the 3rd time.
3. Big City Life.
4. Radetzsky/Andrewest
5. Having the first 3 horses in the quartet in the July and not the fourth horse, Thundering Jet (Pocket Power just finished 5th). Would have picked up at least R10k for my R20.
6. Dan the man

Not sure I can answer all these, but let's have a go

Favourite moment(s).....seeing the joy on my kids' faces leading in Gap Year after her hat-trick on 11 July....and then aquiring a small share in two smashing 2 yr old fillies from Wilgerbosdrift at the National 2yr old sale

Agony... watching Iryshsa refusing to jump, on two occasions losing about 15 lengths

Best horse......I think Sea the Stars

Best sport.....not sure, but the Boks winning the tri-nations comes close

Horses to follow 2010....those 2 fillies from Wilgerbosdrift!
