KZN-breds won six of nine races yesterday at Greyville – and in particular the wins by Putchini and Curved Ball filly, Je Suis Silver, stood out from the rest.
Over the last few racing seasons, a general decline in the Merit Ratings was observed, especially in relation to the large group of horses rated 70 and less.
Trainer Doug Campbell has recounted previously how her connections never placed a bet on Val-La-Ree in her first run, after her gallop at Scottsville saw the filly flitting all over the track and her antics didnt infuse much confidence for her first race – however she blew them away by winning on debut by four lengths!
Very pleasantly surprised, Mike went on to say “It is a little unexpected as Awesomely Tuned is out of a stout mare, which shows that Noble Tune is adding plenty of speed.”
The KZN Breeders Club AGM will take place on Tuesday 6 March, 11am at the Nottingham Road Hotel.
London Call is Merit Rated at a very respectable MR 111, and its a shame that luck has not been on his side to secure a much deserved Graded Stakes win – he has defeated amongst many Gr1 winners Seventh Plain, Talktothestars, Sergeant Hardy and Kochka amongst others.
Photo Call, a twice-Gr1 winning three parts sister to Flying The Flag has produced her first foal by War Front, a filly.
Her dam Theann is a half-sister to Flying The Flag’s triple Gr1 winning dam, Halfway To Heaven, sharing the speedy third dam of Cassandra Go who raced under Michael Roberts. Both Photo Call and Flying The Flag share super sire Galileo.
Miesque’s Approval’s half-brother World Approval followed in his footsteps to win Eclipse Champion Male Turf Horse of the year.
