LOG J&B MET TO BE RUN AT KENILWORTH ON SATURDAY 1 FEBRUARY

RELEASED BY: Phumelela Gaming and Leisure Limited

The initial log for the R2.5-million J&B Met to be run over 2000m at Kenilworth 1 February at Kenilworth has just been released. Many of the marginal horses, as well as some prime contenders, are engaged to run this weekend.

Shifts in log position and the ante-post betting market after the Grade 1 L’Ormarins Queen's Plate, Grade 1 Maine Chance Farms Paddock Stakes and Grade 2 Glorious Goodwood Peninsula Handicap are possible. A revised log will be published after the running of the L'Ormarins Queens Plate.

The Grade 1 J&B Met is staged as a Conditions race with base weights of 53kg for three-year-olds and 58kg for four-year-olds and older. A sex allowance of 2.5kg for fillies and mares applies.

On top of that base, winners of open Grade 1 races get a 2kg penalty. However, winners of Grade 1 races restricted to three-year-olds will receive a 1kg penalty, while winners of Grade 1 two-year-old races are exempt from a penalty.

None of these burdens is accumulative and will only apply to races won 18 months prior to the issuing of the weights. No further penalties will be allocated after the publication of weights.

The log listed below by the handicappers and racing operators indicates their current preference of who will get into the race based, inter alia, on the following three criteria - current merit rating, recent form and competitiveness in Graded and Listed races over the past year.

Much more realistic log imo than those for the July and Summer Cup - progress :S

i like the fact that conditions are put out there for everyone to see - no need to dig them up like in other races.

None but very few have run. Remember De Kock had Horse Chestnut and I think Badgers Coast winning but that was longer than 10 years ago.

I wanted to put some money on Captain America because of the weight he might carry which is 53 kg. I thought he had a great chance against Jackson since he will carry a guaranteed 60 kg. Based on that stats, is it wise to back Captain America.

With the Investec Derby on the same day over the same trip most of the top 3 year olds rather opt for this race. If Jackson does well on Saturday, I doubt that Crawford will run Captain America in the same race. I would also give Captain America a big shout if he ran.

Looks a reasonable log to me - only slight change I would like to see is No Worries and Tellina in front of Jet Belle :S

Looking at the QP result, any value in the ante-post is gone - it's going to be a cracker between Jackson, Master of My Fate, Jet Explorer and Cape Town Noir (still slightly ssupect over the 2000 imo) - best outsider No Worries if he gets in :S
