2016 Durban July Log

Scratchings at 11am...going to be interesting!

Snaith already done jockey bookings on his two runners!

A Delpech- Black Arthur
P Strydom- It's My Turn

My guess is this:

Those horses that run in the Rising Sun challenge won't be runners in the July. The July is just two weekends after that, which I can't see many trainers running a horse in a feature that close to the July! So once scratchings come out for this race I think we will have a pretty good idea as to who will be coming out of the July entrants.

The likes of:

Legal Eagle
Inara
Paterfamilias
New Preditor
Mac De Lago
Olma
Prospect Strike

Has It Is Written been declared yet ?

When does the betting come out?

Probably later tonight

Suspended early this morning

Probably this afternoon!

Looking at the exits today, I would think all horses should shorten a further 15-20% when betting reopens.

Curent jockey bookings declared:

Black Arthur- A Delpech
It's My Turn- P Strydom
Punta Arenas- K De Melo
Rocketball- W Kennedy

Nothing for Legal Eagle, Abashiri, Rabada, French Navy...so these could still be doubters for now.
