Turffontein, 02/12

King's County from 1 draw should get a nice run through this cd.

Can't wager here - surcharge one of the more promising around, but de kock is challenging :

My ability ratings for this race --- with nothing else taken into account

SURCHARGE 14.77
DECISION TIME 13.5
DHABYAAN (AUS) 13.49
FLYING WINGER 8.36
PRINCE OF KAHAL 8.14

De Kock usually tries to keep his good one's away from each other , except in the really big races ---so probably just meausuring these two up against Surcharge.

Not too sure how to say it
It wont surprise me if Surcharge gets beaten or
I will be surprised if Surcharge wins

Agree price to short for me , let him win but going to take my chances and go with FLYING WINGER eachway

Hope you are all right -- I cannot stay any longer, off to 18th Anniversary dinner --sometimes horses just have to take 2nd place

Good Horse!

Also took 4/1 on Green Top - thought her comeback effort was high class and should improve further today.

and that is me a very happy chappy. What a lovely horse that Surcharge is

Well done , he is good , just missed the wedding 33/10 was the right price.

sorry i've just realised he had to give 8kgs to Harlan and King's county - didn't even see that - wow that is a lot of weight for a young 3yo to give! happy for pettigrew to have a good horse again.

Well done guys -- I was never worried about the weight - he just had to reproduce his run behind Toyko drift and had only 1Kg over that race - but he has always looked a star.

What a shocker ride , huge horse was never going to quicken , still a baby and let go far to early , next time over further.

And here I was thinking that 1400 is his chop
