Consistency of Variety club

The consistency of variety club is astonishing.
This horse has produced time and time again even though his challengers try their utmost best.

Incredible!!!!!!!!!!!

Horses like merhee, potala palace and war horse to name a few run crackers but cannot produce like this fella.

Nothing more to prove I guess.

Well done joey, anton and the jooste's

Çongrats on finding a champ........-D

One of our greats in the last few years....(tu)

Anton is a great guy,well done to him hope he breeds many more Champions.

Jooste paid R435K and was sold on the very last of the Equimark sales,.in hindsight a shrewder trainer would not have got a guy like Jooste involved and bought it for himself at half the price.

JP how can training a horse like VC for an owner like MJ not be a shrewd move...long term benefits from winning Graded races for this owner can have life changing ramifications..Happy Landing is one of many examples of this..

I think 435k then for a Var was a very high price.....so a few people must have liked the specimen to have reached that price.......if i recall Joey said after his first win "he's ok........will win a couple"......I wonder if he recalls saying that?<

Epitimy of a var specimen however reaching a greater distance than other var progeny.

Horse definitely something champion status well awarded.

I suppose Jooste had the monopoly to gamble with.

Any idea if theres an overseas trip in the pipeline

Looks like it may be going to Dubai....

Where you read this??

I didn't read it....I made it up....


Starting 1/1 favourite, Variety Club stopped the clock in 1.37.83 on a good track with a slight headwind.
According to his connections, Variety Club will now head off on an overseas campaign, with an application having been made to the Dubai authorities to allow the colt to run on World Cup night.

Derek Brugman, racing manager for owners Mrs I Jooste and Mr M J Jooste said,: “We have sent a request to the Dubai Racing Carnival asking for special permission to go into quarantine so that he can run in either the Dubai Duty Free or the Mile.”
