Does racing go ahead under this new lockdown story now?

“All indoor and outdoor gatherings will be prohibited for 14 days from the date hereof, except for funerals and other limited exceptions as detailed in the regulations, such as restaurants, museums, gyms and casinos,” explained Ramaphosa.


Should be okay to go ahead. If casinos are good to open, them so too should racing be. Also, inter provincial travel still allowed

Race 4

Informative E/W

Got it completely wrong on Sunday, but never give up; today I fancy Varina in the 5th - the 4kg allowance makes her hard to beat imo; Whorly Whorly in the 7th in good form and is ideally suited to this track and trip

Enjoy

Procession by Trattoria...

Check Mango on the 3rd horse.....
Stopped riding the last 20m only for Dadamasi,who never gave up,to pip him for that 2nd spot.

The rider of 3rd place horse must be sanctioned -he cost his horse second by not riding last 50M - allowed me dbl bipot but feel for anyone on the 3rd horse for exactas etc

Truly a case of Mango not giving the horse a peach of a ride...
