The Tony Peter-trained Buffalo Storm Cody (Buffalo Bill Cody) remains on a rating of 132 after winning the Gr 1 TAB Computaform Sprint over 1000m at Turffontein Standside on Saturday by an easy 1,90 lengths from stablemate Taxi To The Moon. It was Buffalo Storm Cody’s second career Gr 1 victory and it was the first leg of a Graded race four-timer for Richard Fourie on the day (one Gr 1 and three Gr 2s).
Taxi To The Moon on 119 was made the line horse and this meant the only raises were to the 3,30 length fifth-placed Mount Pinatubo (up from 109 to 113) and to the 3,0 length sixth-placed Mover And Shaker (up from 109 to 112).
There were decreases for Truth (down from 120 to 119), Chocolate Soldier (108 to 106) and Luhamba Phambili (112 to 110).
See It Again remains on 130 after his Gr 1 HKJC World Pool Premier’s Champions Challenge win, while runner up Okavango was raised two points to 125.
The line horse was the 114-rated 3,60 length third-placed Olivia’s Way, who received 2,5kg from the boys.
The Equator was dropped from 117 to 115.
Double Grand Slam was raised from 122 to 125 after her 5,40 length victory in the Gr 1 TAB Empress Club Stakes.
The runner up Minogue was raised from 112 to 114.
The line horse was 3,0 length third-placed Callmegetrix.
Fourth-placed Kisshoten was raised from 107 to 109, while sixth-placed Golden Palm was lowered from 115 to 112 after a disappointing ten length defeat.
In the SA Derby Curious Girl had run to a 100 rating in her previous start, but there was an operator’s condition stating that the winner of that race, the Ormond Ferraris Oaks Trial, could not be raised more than six points. She has now been officially raised to 100 and was used as the line horse for the SA Derby off a mark of 100. Curious Girl received 2,5kg from the boys and so there were raises for the runner up Sanali Kahle (97 to 103), Master Spy ( to 102), Diogenes ( to 99), Titans Of War (91 to 95), Bellerephon (89 to 92) and there was a decrease for Copper Eagle (100 to 97).
In the SA Oaks the winner Littlemissmillion was raised from 107 to 114, while runner up Hazy Dazy remains on 117. The 7,40 length third-placed Daisy Jones was used as the line horse off her 108 rating.
The Gr 2 Hawaii Stakes saw the 106-rated Money Heist being used as the line horse, which meant runner up One Eye On Vegas was raised one point to 107, while the winner Cats Pajamas stayed untouched on 119.
There were decreases for Main Defender (130 to 126) and Cosmic Speed (122 to 120).
