Vaal 5 oct

Hard Ball found to be lame and wont run

Race 1

Paul Peter
No 11 Corrido is a very nice horse, big individual, should be looking
for a lot further but should not be out of the placings. (**NB prior to Hard Ball Scratching)

Race 2

Barend Botes
No 2 Seven Sovereigns does not jump on terms but if he does he must
have a chance.
Grant Maroun
No 4 Singaswewin has a place chance,
Clint Binda
No 10 Altruist battled on debut.
No 14
2nd Race Seventh Son has been very disappointing, I expected a lot more
from him. I have changed a few things and I am hoping for a better
run.
Brian Wiid
No 13 National Aim is a nice horse but is likely to find this distance
a bit short.

Race 3

Clint Binda
No 1 Of The Moon is battling to win but could run a place.
Candice Dawson
No 13 Western Shamrock is working well and hopefully has made the
necessary improvement.

Race 4

Brian Wiid
No 1 Soldat must have a chance in this line-up.
Mathew de Kock for Mike de Kock
No 8 Mutawaary should enjoy the extra distance and I am hoping for a better run.

Race 5

Tim Woodruff for Geoff Woodruff
No 1 Banner Hill is having his first run for the yard and could need
the run but he is full of class.
Mathew de Kock for Mike de Kock
No 6 Kilrain is in a good space and another big run can be expected.

Race 6

Craig Mayhew
No 11 Samar is coming off a short break and may just need the run.

Race 7

Candice Dawson
No 2 Polly Wolly Doodle is running over a distance short of her best
distance but is well within herself and as long as there is a little
give in the ground she should hopefully be running at them.
Barend Botes
No 7 Goodness Me is my best runner on the day. She is up in class but
has improved with Blinkers.
Grant Maroun
No 8 Prosperity has a good each-way chance.

Race 8

Grant Maroun
No 2 Great Shaka has a good place chance.
Clint Binda
No 4 Wellspring is always in with a chance.
Barend Botes.
No 9 Hunting Owl is unreliable but can surprise if showing his best side.
Craig Mayhew
No 10 Heywot is coming back from a little break but I am expecting
him to race fresh.

My each way treble:
2nd Race: Seventh Son
3rd Race: Western Shamrock
5th Race: Kilrain
120/1 Win treble :woohoo:
17/1 Place Treble

They still going hammer and thongs for Hard Ball on the tote with twenties and thirties :lol:

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

:whistle: from what i saw Lyle on Hunting Owl wont miss the board

also did a place treble
Western Shamrock x Alssakhra x Hunting Owl

On review....if the weather holds i will take a bet on red indy. I am going to factor in short and sweet somewhere in one or other type of bet.

If red indy works out i will have a half a go at seven sovereigns, if that works out i will play onto shamrock....and then stop....or stop after the first negative result.

Been raining, anyone close to the Vaal?

Received this

In Meyerton and it looks constant. Set in for the day I reckon

Last i had was oen 23 and 93 percent chance of rain

ja Bob says its raining in Meyerton

Quick Memory Jog, Remember what FLYING WINGER did in a 3 YO - 94 handicap on Tuesday? Well look hard at CYRUS in the first @ Vaal today. Debut behind flying winger over 1160 running on.... Today Hewitson over 1400. That's my idea of a bet for the day each way 8/1. Lets hope the rains hold off enough to get the meeting going
