Festival Of Fire or Rumya?

On formlines Festival Of Fire should beat Rumya comfortably, but maybe the latter needed it badly last time and she has a better draw. The jockey bookings will be interesting.

will both of them run on saturday if they draw reasonably well in the cape fillies guineas on the 9th of december?the final field and draws will be this thursday ...really pathetic that cape racing for a group one race has to wait for the final acceptances to give barrier draws....its the only group one fillies guineas in the country and the top gauteng fillies that run on saturday in joburg if they knew their barrier draw would have ventured down to the cape...lets wait and see if the cape fillies guineas becomes yet another regional race ..feature race programming in this country needs a major overhaul

Looking at SA Horse Racing there are only 10 horses nominated for the Cape Fillies Guineas. When do the nominations close for this race or all the 2 De Kock horses have to beat is All Is Secret.

shrek their are 21 nominations inc festival of fire rumya blueridge mountain and amber orchid from gauteng...

Thanks Pirates, sounds more reasonable, SA Horse Racing have Amber Orchid on the list of 10 but not Blue Ridge Mountain. (tu)

I am busy putting next Monday evenings Breeding To Win programme together. The show will deal mostly with the Avontuur Estate Fillies Guineas and I have asked Andrew Bon to do an insert for me on Mike De Kock's two fillies.Hell of a task to run then travel and run in Grp 1 a week later 1500km away. But , we talking about the King De Kock and he is capable of almost anything. Mike usually supports Pippa by bringing at least one filly down for the race. The show also includes an " All Is Secret " insert.

I may be wrong, but if they draw reasonably in the Cape race, I don't think either of them will run in the Ipi Tombe where they are both out at the weights on official MR

Not cut and dry even if they do run, Without Malice looks like a BIG threat and I wouldn't discount HA, Amur Affair and Louvre either...

rumya for me

Rumya will eat this field imo.

Both scratched this morning from Summer Cup Day. Festival of Fire would be my pick for next week.
