Greyville Sunday

remember the last 2 are turf

Good on you's who called COLD AS ICE at Kenilworth y'day. Time to make amends.

Race 7, KZN Guineas Trial: #1 SPLIT THE BREEZE; very easy winner last time; on MR's has the best weight advantage; very hot Superman/Laird combo; runs fresh in a new stable; I think worth 3/1, 28/10 is available, ask for 4's.

Race 8, Pinnacle: #6 ADMIRAL'S EYE; again, on MR's has a good weight advantage over all the others; and again the very hot Superman/Laird combo; Nap her

Prosperous punting

Formgrids has R1 Black Velvet as a winner 08-26
Winning Form has her as a first timer

Sahorseracing.co.za has it as a first timer and automatically would be scratched if it was a winner previously. Winning form is right.

It's priced up at 8/10 fav in the first??
What's going on the old man is confused

Mike Bass had a horse called Black Velvet that raced in 2006/7 and I am sure formgrids is referring to this one. It begs the question how the Jockey club allows the duplication of horse names in particular in such a short period. There are a few other examples of these guys not doing their jobs and allowing recent duplications. Shamal is one that springs to mind.

I am off today and fancy a punt
Will take your double Mac at around 9/1
Catch u soon
Good punting

but Fourth Estate is the danger

Well with all this talk maybe I should start the day with Black Velet but might be a bit early for a Guinness and bubbly?

Cheers

Interesting runner for me today, R6, Razed In Black. My very un-educated opinion, this horse is looking for further than the 1200m, but then again, I am not a race horse trainer.

Having said that, I do believe RIB is a massive runner today. We all know what happens to juveniles and their MR's when winning. After winning, he did put in two fair performances before having a break. Since returning from the break, the MR of 86 was obviously not correct, and in his first run back, albeit soundly beaten by Antwerp (14/09), had a valid excuse. The second run after the break was a week later and first time the poly. Again he can be excused because he appeared to be slow away. Third run after the rest, he took on (marginally) stronger but put in a better performance from a wide draw.

His MR has dropped 7 points in just under two months, and from a decent draw today, if he gets away on terms, I make him the one to beat - 11/2 is a very good price, think he will start shorter come race time.

Only two from me for today...

Race 1 - 1
Race 4 - 6

All the best to all Clanners for today...
