In Cape Town we don't make a habit of laying race fillies.....is that a Durban past time?X(

Lol Western Explorer
The cape boys might get beaten by a durban fillie again;)

Via Africa is a very nice filly, but in my opinion not a Val De Ra.

@ Western Explorer

hahaha.....(tu) we practice by laying bricks....

If you so confident...........lay me a bet

5/1 is fair with all the talk by your guys

We arent talking .....lets see how good she is against the best the country has to offer....if she wins this race we may change our tune.....trust me the SE is going to blow that day!

OK no problem .

Just a banter...but she WILL win.

Lets see how "right you are" on sat afternoon....better grab her opening price!!!!!!
Going to be a big test against the real big guns.....the unknown quantity for me is Chava de Oura.....he's more of a sprinter than a miler, exquisite looking horse!MAY THE BEST HORSE WIN.....

Does anybody know Via's merit rating? All thumbs up to Duncan he really has taken good care of this baby she is only 3. I have been following her from day one. I belive the past 4 runs have been trots for her and Alec as yet shown us her true speed. Remeber her last run up in KZN he eased her up and she was only someting like 2sec off the cores record. All I say is VIA VIA AFRIKA.

To much talk! Straight to the point! Home and hosed...Put the number on the frame...pay the public! Via Africa! Filly or no Filly...Class or no class...but this animal is on another level, and will not be in Howells responsibility for long!

Via Africa - Cape Royal - What a winter - Field = Smoking a cigar at the end of the day!

Apologies, I've just discovered that I was wrong, he does haemoconcentrate and apparently how laid back they are makes no difference to the condition. However, he has less chance of running out of oxygen over a sprint than a mile.
