THE Paul Matchett-trained Triple Tiara heroine War Of Athena will first run in the Grade 1 Woolavington 2000 at Hollywoodbets Greyville on May 29 before a decision is made on her Vodacom Durban July participation.

Justin Snaith’s star twice Grade 1-winning filly Captain’s Ransom will not take her place in the July and he said it has still not been decided whether she will line up in the Woolavington.

A meeting between this pair has been one of the most eagerly anticipated clashes of the SA Champions Season.

War Of Athena is at present sneaking into the handicap with the minimum weight for a female of 52kg as she is merit rated 122.

Three-year-olds receive 2kg at the time of the July according to the weight for age scale for the 2200m distance so the mathematical equation is Rainbow Bridge merit rating 134 equals 12 point higher than War Of Athena which is the equivalent of 6kg, add 2kg weight for age allowance equals 8kg, 60kg minus 8kg equals 52kg, and not under sufferance (i.e “sneaking into the handicap with the minimum weight”) .

Both #kznbred War Of Athena and Running Brave are in the first Declarations announced on 10 May.
