Turffontein Saturday

First of all, my goal with Ebony Flyer is to win the 2011 Queen's Plate. Everything we do with this filly between now and then will be with the Queen's Plate in mind. This is why we will only run her sparingly the rest of this season and why we skipped the Majorca and will skip the early races in Durban.

Secondly, match races are won by horses with the superior speed. I don't think that Igugu would be advantaged by taking on Ebony Flyer in a match race. Ebony has the superior speed. Do you remember when she broke her maiden over 1000 meters? There was a superior sprinter named Covenant behind her that day.

Look for EF to run once or twice more at 3 and then prepare for the Queen's Plate.

Earl Of Surrey win was something else. Turn of foot. WOW

thanks for the update barry,do you think that ef best distance will be a mile or do you think she will see out 2000metres and be as effective?

8/1 on offer Galileos Destiny. Big value imo.

This type of vibe is what racing needs, great stuff.

Pirates, I have little interest at this point in finding out how far Ebony Flyer can run, as she is proven at 7 and 8 furlongs and she can win all of the races that interest me and my partners at a mile.

De Kock is DIFFERENT CLASS....

Hope he gives somebody else a chance in the 9 th race (being greedy for my pick 6).

yes greg even when he is a million miles away he cleans up...dont take offence tommy only having a chirp

I'm not fussed Pirates, not at all

Would have made quite a difference to me had Mirage Drive got up - anyway not a bad day(tu)

you got to wonder if his domination of racing is actually good for racing through no fault of his own obviously
