Feature Edition

Author : Mike Bass Racing




The Cape summer season is upon us and all eyes will be on Pocket Power trying to achieve the impossible treble in the J&B Met. We took some time to chat to Mike regarding his main feature race contenders, their well being and his plan of action for the Cape season.



Feature Race contenders



African Appeal:

Has come good and sound again after returning from Dubai and is working well. He will probably run in the Green Point Stakes. He has the Second highest rating in yard of 108. so will have to find races to suit him. Difficult to say if he can win the weight for age races, so no particular races picked out. Weight for age and conditions races between a mile and 2000m.

Breeding: Model Man out of Kentucky Lass by Kentucky Slew (USA)

Age: 7

Bred By: D Cohen & Sons (Pty) Ltd

MR: 108

Runs: 42

Wins: 7

Places: 13

Earnings: R 1 019 100

Cost: Homebred

Owners: S Mackenzie and M Mason



Pocket Power:

Will be having a similar preparation to last year but he is a bit more advanced in his prep this year. Will run in either The Merchants or Green Point Stakes or may even run in both, then the Queen's Plate and then the Met. He Will trying to win either of those races for the 3rd time. He's doing well so far and is in great shape and we are very happy with the way things are going.

Breeding: Jet Master out of Stormsvlei by Prince Florimund

Age: 5

Bred By: Zandvliet Stud

MR: 120

Runs: 24

Wins: 11

Places: 10

Earnings: R 5 334 790

Cost: R 190 000

Owners: N M Shirtliff and Mr. & Mrs. A D Webber



Floatyourboat:

I like the Premium Stakes for him. Have to go with the conditions races as his merit rating is still very high. He hasn't won for a long while so he might have a few races that he comes into well like the Premium Stakes and One or two of the conditions races where you have to have won in the last year to get penalties.

Breeding: Jet Master out of Foverington by Foveros (GB)

Age: 6

Bred By: Mr. & Mrs. C F de Vos

MR: 107

Runs: 24

Wins: 5

Places: 8

Cost: R 240 000

Owners: N M Shirtliff and E A Braun



Bill Of Rights:

Will contend the feature races in the season 1800m - 2400m. He usually wins a feature race each season. Won Lonsdale last season and now the Algoa Cup. He's a light framed horse with a lot of talent so he doesn't race often, but when he does he runs well. We will probably have a bash at the Met with him this year or the J&B reserve stayers on the same day.

Hilgrove:

He will be running in a few of the features. Not sure if he's up to group 1's so group 2's and 3's from 1400m - 1800m. May still be competitive and have another small feature to come from him.
