Just as a note ,devine jet was a buyback @ the sales and resold @ the graham beck dispersal sale for 1 million,so infact the original bidder(the breeder)only paid the commission on the the 4 million that was bidded on the horse

I have been racing for three decades and every year we hear The Dingaans should be a Gr1. And it should be..

The Guineas in Durban should also be a Gr 1. I know that there has to be some sort of ratio between Gr 1's and Gr 2's, but if needs be I would not be opposed to downgrading a couple of Gr 1 Handicaps to make room at the top level for some big level weights 3yo races that are often won by rising champions. To me it would make no difference to a race like the Gold Cup if it was dropped to Gr 2 - it would be the same race with the same horses running.

My 2cents; Fradd not having much luck with fancied horses so ....
he goes unfancied (LOL)

Frontino Gold will be in the first three.Was running on powerfully last time out so include in all bets.

Whiteline fever may be better in the soft .Fradd may be connected

Lads and Ladiies this race is very difficult....
When looking for the 2nd,3rd n 4th horses..
My advice for a Quart...PP banker by Field for a %

The more rain the better for potala !

Tru on that Solo, sire loved the wet and Potala should revel in the conditions , gavin could pull a Kings Gambit win in the PP..

same with Rudra.... soft track beeeg chance

I'm slightly confident that Azzie/Lerena will win BOTH the fillies/colts features.

The Jet won a good race in soft on gold cup day . He could be the right one in the summer if rain persists!

I agree with the Fillies....Magic Smoke is an excellent each way bet!
