2016 Durban July Log

Hi All

would be intruiging to start penciling in jocks to the guaranteed runners.
god willing there will be a few surprises.


One cant dismiss the Dailey News pre-race comment posted by trainer M Azzie about Rabada in the guineas,where he stated if the winner was closer(abreast) to his horse,he believes his charge would have fought off Black Arthur.

I don't think one can dismiss Rabada - yes it looked in the DN if he just scraped home, but one must also take into account that 'Superman' dropped his whip at the top of the straight. Also I think the ability to race handy is a big plus - who is to say that there will be pace in the July? But it will be interesting to see if Rabada does indeed remain a runner, and what Superman's choice will be - if LE runs, he might go for that one, as 53.5 kgs might be a struggle?

Also, should Legal Eagle not run, It's My Turn will receive 0.5 kgs from Rabada and Black Arthur (at current ratings) - maybe something to note, but for me It's My Turn would need a strong pace.

Very nice to have read Mr van Vuurens thoughts in the Sporting Post. (under Who Thinks What?)..................

May help a few ABC clanners .............

I see Legal Eagle has finally found some support - could be that the connections are now leaning towards running him (or maybe that was always the intention :ohmy: )

Yip,my doubles yesterday went into Legal Eagle at 14/1.......If my thinking is right ,I think he will be 3/1 by final acceptance stage!

Took a little 12/1 yesterday in case LE runs...now virus suspected in yard :ohmy:

Yup...big fight for places in July now.
Think winning is his only chance of getting in.

Where is this information from?
Just spoke to a friend who knows the yard and he says not running
