TURFFONTEIN THURSDAY - WORKERS DAY 1 MAY

COMPUTAFORM: az-pgl-dsi-ag-cdn-aztabstorage.4racing.c...NTEIN@2025.05.01.pdf

Another great looking card 
fancy a few today 
Race 4 : cape lights 
​Race 5 : salute the flag 
Race 6 : orange county 
best of luck to all
 

A competitive looking card imo - 

R1: Snow Queen finding betting support, but Versace looks home and hosed on her form on her debut; Wings of Ice backed in her last start and was in front when the jock fell off and after that race they deemed the track to be unsafe - might be a danger but I think the favorite hard to beat

R2: Debutante Dragonheart finding betting support - might not have to be too good to beat the other 4 - but this looks a trappy start to the PA - at least it is a small field

R3: Will Ichacha finally get it right - again not an ideal draw but imo will be the winner - as first-timer Fire Starter is from the betting not that fancied; Blue Quartz improving and could find a place

R4: Not easy; Tried and True looks to have a chance at the weights, Pointer has a wide draw, but should at least be in the first 3 with Mountain High

R5: On the ratings, I think Salute the Flag will go close from Guerilla Warfare who has pole position; not sure why Zackey is riding Page Boy, as that one seems to have been hammered by the Handicapper 

R6: American Eagle won well last time, but a concern is his form on the stand-side track; Arlington Action has not won for more than a year, but looks to have a chance again; biggest danger imo is the filly Flamboyant Flyer who throws a good run now and again; Orange County tries 2000, so who knows - open race 

R7: Good field of sprinters; Warm Winter Night does not show signs of the Handicapper catching up to him - as he has been increased in the ratings 20 points this year; Cymric very capable and Silver Tudor best this track and trip - these 3 imo

R8: War of Kingdoms courtesy of the scratchings seems to have found the right field again; imo Ensuing is the biggest danger

Enjoy

Nice Pirho
For me the jockey change was a strike...Zackey off Khumalo on
 

It's sad when you hear post race that the stable were lukewarm on Dragonheart, especially after the poor way it went to post. Someone got diddled.

One Tiger had a nasal discharge last time. Horse wasn't breathing properly
