is marcus and fourie divorced again

I thought Singapore trainers don't have satellite yards in other countries? Heard Singapore were quirky that way. Maybe it was HK though, or maybe Africa doesn't count.

His assistant Michael De Beer
will be taking over the yard
name change
everything
amazing really
as De Beer was never on the waiting list
to get stables

All sorted by Gold Circle....and everyone got some of the stables returned.Mike de Beer passed his exam and is now a fully fledged trainer.

There's a waiting list to be a trainer?

?????Maybe stables but not trainers....bottom line is he has the stables and thats all that matters right now.

Yes, what a relief.

ya know, I would just like to add, ya know that an interview with Basil and Richard will provide more ya knows than one could count, ya know.

I like him as a trainer , it seems when the stable is firing it's burning hot and then when it goes cold you can brass them with ease, ya know.

You can say what you like, he's a Great ambassador for SA racing.


Is it true that Frankie Dettori said there's only one jock who has won more prize money than him.....one Basil Marcus !

Harris...have you ever owned a horse in his yard or ever even spoken to him...or are you just repeating something you heard in the gossip column?

I personally think Basil is a great trainer. What he has acomplished in a VERY short time ahs been remarkable. He has his ups and downs like all the trainers but his bad spots seems to be a lot shorter than others.

His horses look well and rarely is there a meeting that he does NOT have a winner.

We will miss Mr. Marcus and I wish him all the best in Singapore.

As for the new dude who is going to train....Wish him all the best too. He will have to prove himself first, but good luck to him none the less!

No doubt Basil was a great jockey and is a very good trainer, I am sure he is taking a string of SA horses with him? to fly the flag, reading some of the views on the current state of SA horseracing cant blame him for taking a chance and wish him all the best.

A don`t forget the nod we got every now and then from the Yard..

Good to have some positive feedback on a great jockey and up and coming trainer and we wish him all the best with his new venture in Singapore.Majority of SA bred horses going over that will fly the SA flag high esp for breeders here....unfortunately Singapore racing rules state he may not have a satellite yard and so Mike de Beer will train in SA.Instead of certain parties slating him lets wish him well...
