For all the big race action back home, the performance of the weekend, at least from a Summerhill perspective, belonged to Muhtafal’s son, Paris Perfect, in the Dubai World Cup (Gr.1) proper. In stark contrast to earlier years, his 3rd to Well Armed in the richest race on earth was a powerful tribute to his sire as well as his breeder, Gail Fabricius, not to mention the exertions of the Bruss brothers, Robin and Neil, who got him there for Prince Faisal of Saudi Arabia.
Astonishing isn’t it, that a little fellow who started out life on a farm 10kms outside the shabbiest little dorp in the Midlands, then earned his laurels in comparatively modest Port Elizabeth, should stand up when the heat of battle calls, and say “count on me”.
As we’ve so often said, “if we were going to war, Muhtafal would be our general”.

It must have given the Summerhill team a massive thrill.
Well done to all.
Looking forward to seeing you next week.

Congratulations on the third place of Paris Perfect. Am sure that you are all proud of Muhtafal and at 66/1 if we were big punters, think of the money we would have in our pockets. Well done to you all.
