What a pleasant horse name and win. Many times I find myself baffled with these horse names, especially in SA racing!!!.

....it means "cause" or act of war....to be provoked to make war....a latin term..... the way this shortened on the tote after the post is certainly to be another casus belli against the tote...

.....and then the tote crashes with no dividends for this race....but winner was paying above R2+ and this was on screen yet minute later below R2 and tote favorite

I usually pick horses based on the track and horse names at which they are running at. Most of my winnings come from the US.

Wonder what Ryan Mungers strike rate is since riding here for his holiday away from Canada?
And he's not doing it on odds on favourites like Fourie and Lerena.He's riding the so called second rate horses as the big trainers won't give him the best rides knowing he will not be here long so as not to compromise the arrangements they have with the leading jockeys.

Race 5

GIMME PASSION with a nice win over MOUNTAIN HIGH in her recent run. However, look at MOUNTAIN HIGH previous run - it got touched off by KALIKAA.

KALIKAA then got smoked by 8.5 lengths by PRETTY ANALIA. At level weights this gap probably gets reduced by 2 lengths or so. Anyway, on this form line, PRETTY ANALIA comfortably has GIMME PASSION's number and is still getting 4.5kgs.

PRETTY ANALIA also holds BOOM BOOM on its previous run, and if you watch that run, PRETTY ANALIA was running on.

PRETTY ANALIA also holds SECRET RECIPE on run from 07/11.

Can someone talk me out of this thesis? If not, I am loaaaading up

My dartboard guesses for today...

Race 3 - 5 Flag Bearer
Race 4 - 4 Ceuta per the dartboard but, since ridden by L____, 2 Donna Mo
Race 5 - 7 Secret Recipe, 5 Gimme Passion
Race 6 - 5 Palace Dancer per the dartboard but, since ridden by L____, 2 Royal Force
Race 7 - 4 Foreverinmydreams per the dartboard but, since ridden by L____, 2 Night Vigil
Race 8 - 7 Phantom Express per the dartboard but, since ridden by L____, 2 The Navy Lark

All the best to fellow Clanners...

The dartboard is looking positive...Secret Recipe was about 8/1 and though I didn't take the two L winners in the last two races, they were SP of 3/1 and 2/1 having been backed in...

We post again tomorrow...

He's definitely come back a better rider for his stints in Canada .Sounds like he gives the trainers "proper" feedback judging by MDK and Alec Laird interviews. Comes across as very nice guy aswell .
