I see Alec didn't commit to the comparing of VA to VdRa. He just said VA is a graded race filly.

Super impressive and i hope she stays in SA!!

Peekay , he did say yesterday that it was in the same mould of VDR.

In fact even before the 2nd win it was already being compared to VDR.

(tu) It's actually the first time i saw her run last night. Super speedy out the gates and has her opposition pushing after the first 400m. There seems to be a lot of lovely sprinters around this year.......the big sprint races looks mouth watering

Threshold ran 0.84 seconds slower than VA when winning the maidens easing up by 5 lengths and carried 1.5kgs more. Colins horse in the 3rd ran 0.87 seconds slower than her when winning by 3 lengths and carrying 4kgs more. Can we nominate these 2 for some features?;)

Hi Agra, as I said before Enos has done a good job there and the course is in much better condition than it has been for years. Hope it stops raining for Sunday.
