Kenilworth Saturday

Sand and Sea in trouble long way out.Either couldn't ot wouldn't.

Biltong :whistle:

What worries me about S&S's run is that he looked nothing like the horse who won in KZN. In fact he looked decidedly unhappy in front.

Will have to improve 20 lengths to be involved in any of the 3 year old features

Could be getting heavy in Front . Might need gelding but thats not going to happen. Also two fillies in the race , not sure if his mind was elsewhere,

Funny how horses can make fools of us. That went beyond needing a run. Looked like a completely different horse out there.

That run was just to bad to be true , hope nothing serious after Miss Frankel the other day not good news .

Miss Frankel Out After Injury
She will be given plenty of time

UPDATED ON NOVEMBER 13, 2017

Miss Frankel, Avontuur’s beautiful daughter of superstar Frankel, who ran an initially inexplicably below par race at Kenilworth last Thursday, is on the injury list.
Miss Frankel – resting
The exciting 3yo was having her first start of her Cape summer campaign after a scintillating maiden success at Scottsville in August.

The results from Monday morning’s scans and x-rays have revealed that she has strained the right high suspensory ligament behind her knee.

This means that the Dennis Drier trained galloper will return to her first home at Avontuur for a four month rest.

She will commence with box confinement for about a month. After that she will be doing a bit of slow hand-walking under Avontuur GM Pippa Mickleburgh’s care, and eventually be housed in a small paddock so that her leg can rest up properly.

In what is a frustrating development for all involved with the exciting filly, Pippa said that Miss Frankel was still young and that they would take no chances and give her plenty of time.

“A special thanks to MJ Byleveld who felt her losing her action around the 400m mark, and allowed her to come safely home without further injury,” said Pippa, who also thanked the Miss Frankel fans who had asked after the filly who has her own Faceboook page.

Master's Eye went down good and i thought Kinaan was slightly short
Mangrove went down good too

Top class ride Callan Murray

Wonderwall attempted the almost impossible last time out trying to just about lead at Turffontein from start to finish from draw 12/16. I don't believ the Kenilworth 1400m is that testing, and if running close to his MR, will be difficult to peg back on the Winter course.

Something whispered to me Pack Leader

I'm going with the draws......

Visigoth for me
