YOU KNOW THE NUMBER.
JUST DIAL THE CHAMPIONS.

When Rebel Queen scooted home by a growing six lengths in the Nkosazana Stakes (Listed), she gave notice of an avalanche. Her hoofbeats had scarcely cooled, when Love Struck downed the best of his generation in the R2million SA Classic (Gr.1). On Sunday, Salutation took her earnings past R900 000 in the Spook Express Handicap (Listed). And for good measure, Blueridge Mountain put the breeze up her contemporaries with a massacre in Cape Town.

LOVE AND PAIN, THE WHOLE DAMN THING

R2,000,000 SA CLASSIC (Grade 1)
Turffontein, South Africa

When he took home the winner’s cheque in the R2million SA Classic (Gr.1) last Saturday, Love Struck became Summerhill’s second winner of South Africa’s richest race for the Classic generation in the past three years. Gitiano’s charge from the rear made him the farm’s fourth Group One performing 3 year-old in 2013.

On a racecourse, the line between fame and pain can be ever so fine. It’s an old sporting truism that you can’t win the big ones without the BMT. It’s hard enough to get a place in the field, let alone pick a Group One hero. But you can stack the odds on your side, by simply looking at history.

EMPERORS PALACE SUMMER READY TO RUN SALE
School Of Excellence, Summerhill Stud, Mooi River
20 February 2013

The precincts of Jo’burg in general and Turffontein racecourse in particular, have been serendipitous venues for Summerhill-breds in recent years, contributing hoards to the lucre that’ve earnt us our championships. As lucrative a source as any of this bounty has been the Colts and Fillies versions of the Gauteng Guineas, where the past few seasons alone have produced victories for Imbongi, Pierre Jourdan and Fisani, and several place-getters. Scour the entries for these events any year you like, and you’ll find a slew of Summerhill-connected runners among them.

This year’s renewals are no different, with eleven (six colts and five fillies) slated to run in the first week in March. With the Emperors Palace Summer Ready To Run scheduled for next Wednesday 20^th at the School of Excellence on Summerhill, it’s worth mentioning that seven of the ten are graduates of Ready To Run sales, and two of them were part of the small inaugural catalogue last year. While there are no guarantees in this game, it’s a fair bet there’ll be more than a few of those again in next week’s line-up.
