Kenilworth Saturday - Why not start the thread now?

Hotline and everyone else.......the doubles are with Polar Bound

R1 Cherbourg
R2 Rain Gal
R3 Agra
R4 Hammies Boy
R5 Jackson but I like VC
R6 Ebony Flyer
R7 Run fir It and GGL
R8 Great Fox
R9 Feel my love
R10 Orchard House

Morning all and good luck to everyone.

Can someone tell me please... historically in the UK there is a lot of hype on the big race days concerning a few horses, it seems similar in RSA - Igugu, Agra, Jackson, Divine Jet... however, the reality is that often these races are won by "roughies" at fairly decent odds, is that often the case in SA as well, ie on the big day many of the very fancied runners just don't live up to their pre-race hype?

Blind Pigeon suggestions:
Double: Agra win, MIss October win
Treble: Agra win, Miss October win, Jackson win
Multiple: Agra win, Miss October win, The Apache place, Lake Arthur place, Orchard House place
Best bet: Agra
Best value: Lake Arthur

I fancied Ebony Flyer big after seeing her on Monday, but rumours about her breathing issues have surfaced since then.

ENGLANDER here in SA it is the same as in the UK. Beautiful horses ruled by jockeys.

EXACTLY

If Terminator win , he wins because its a better horse.
With overseas trainers etc etc, this stable is too professional to run grafts etc.
