WHO WILL CAPTURE THE CAPE FLYING CHAMPIONSHIP?

BETTING WORLD CAPE FLYING CHAMPIONSHIP (GRADE 1) 1000M
KENILWORTH RACECOURSE
23 JANUARY 2010

Megan RomeynTomorrow sees the much anticipated running of the Grade One Cape Flying Championship over 1000m at Kenilworth and it promises to be a cracker of a race, despite the absence of Private Jet whom trainer Geoff Woodruff is aiming at the Computaform Sprint.

Summerhill is well represented with four challengers; Hear The Drums (winning-most horse of the last thirty years in South Africa) aiming to crack his first Grade One victory, Thunder Key (winner of the Gr.2 Diadem Stakes) and Relinyane (both sons of Summerhill sire Muhtafal) as well as Bush Pirate.

One can never discount the Charles Laird entries, the mercurial Warm White Night and the inform Cyber Case who is always dangerous over short distances. Vaughan Marshall’s Villandry and the four Mike Bass entries (Blue Tiger, Gaultier, Rushing Wind and Captain’s Secret) are all in with a shout.

TOP 50 RACEHORSES IN SOUTH AFRICA

“NO WONDER THE LOG LOOKS LIKE IT DOES”

A glance at the National Breeders’ log tells its own story. The first five months of the current racing year has Summerhill already over the R8 million mark, just about enough to win the title in any prior year. Just this past week, Phumelela Gold issued a listing of the top 50 earners in the nation, and that pretty much explains the position. Of the top 50, no fewer than ten have Summerhill connections, through either the sire, the dam or both. Six of them are graduates of the Summerhill Ready To Run programme, including the mercurial 30-time hero, Hear The Drums. Ten out of fifty is as close as you get to 20% of the biggest winners of the season so far, and it’s all a reflection of great people, great land and the best upbringing of a racehorse known to mankind.
