Sean Tarry will be out to add to his record 15 Gr 1s at Hollywoodbets Scottsville and has some lively chances to do so (Candiese Lenferna Photography).

Scottsville King Tarry’s Team In A Good Space

Sean Tarry is the king of Hollywoodbets Scottsville having had 15 Grade 1 victories there and he comes with a strong hand to the Pietermaritzburg venue yet again.

Although a grandslam of Gr 1s in one day is too much to expect he said that winning every Gr 1 he entered was always the aim every year.

He has two favourites on the day, a second favourite and a trio in the main event who are not prominent in the market, but who might represent good value.

His Gr 1 Golden Horse Sprint trio are Thunderstruck, Under Your Spell and Full Velocity.

He said about the three-year-old Rafeef colt Thunderstruck, who was an impressive winner of the Gr 1 Gold Medallion last year, “He has a lovely weight (sneaks into the handicap with the minimum weight of 54kg). He is a course and distance winner and he ran a good fourth over 1160m in his only sprint this season when ring rusty and needing it ( (beaten 6,20 lengths by Princess Calla). He hasn’t been given a fair chance over sprints this season and he has pulled every time he has gone around the turn. The public tend to write off horses quickly but he is still a good quality horse. He is a nice price (33/1 with Hollywoodbets).”

Tarry said Thunderstruck had never been a good work horse, so couldn’t be judged on anything he had been doing at home presently.

However, he added his whole team for Hollywoodbets Scottsville were in “a good space.”

He said about the four-year-old Capetown Noir filly Under Your Spell, who won the Gr 1 Allan Robertson Championship two years ago and now runs in the Golden Horse Sprint, “The Greyville mile is within her reach and 1400m is probably her best distance, so the HWB Scottsville 1200m is within her reach. What makes it an attractive race for her is the small weight spread with bottom weight being 54kg. She carries 54,5 kg, so only has to give the bottom weights half-a-kilogram and although the top weights have some very good form the handicap evens it out.”

He said about his other Golden Horse contender, the Philanthropist mare Full Velocity, who is 1,5kg under sufferance carrying 54kg, “She definitely went a bit off form, but the signs are she is coming back and she loves this course and distance. She has run two bomb races here.”

Full Velocity won the Gr 3 Poinsettia over course and distance last year, a weight for age plus penalties race for fillies and mares, and she followed up with a fine 2,45 lengths sixth in the Gr 1 SA Fillies Sprint.

Tarry’s best chance of adding to his phenomenal Gr 1 record at Hollywoodbets Scottsville might lie with the crack Flower Alley mare Princess Calla, who has had a fine season in Graded sprint events.

Tarry said, “She has all the credentials, but you have to have respect for Desert Miracle.”

He must also have a fine chance with his unbeaten two-year-old Gimmethegreelight colt Lucky Lad, who won the Gr 2 SA Nursery effortlessly by 2,75 lengths despite a tardy start.

He said, “The Johannesburg form has worked out very well, but you have to have respect for the unbeaten horses.”

He also runs The Africa House in this race, a big scopey type and it would be no great surprise to see him involved in the finish. He has 7,25 lengths to make up on Lucky Lad on 1100m form and he would prefer further than 1200m, but he will be suited to this tough sprint course.

Tarry runs the unbeaten Vercingetorix filly Mrs Geriatrix in the Gr 1 Allan Robertson, her first run since just getting up to win the Gr 2 SA Fillies Nursery.

He said she was very well, but he said Candice Bass-Robinson’s filly Winter Cloud looked to be very good and he had healthy respect for her.

Tarry is on the extreme outside with both Lucky Lad and Mrs Geriatrix and has the tricky number one draw for Princess Calla, but he is not overly concerned.

He said, “I haven’t thought much about the draws. We arrive every year to hear the inside is favourable, but it doesn’t always go like that and I am not too phased because I have good jockeys.”

His team are all in fine shape and were on their way to Pietermaritzburg this morning.

Crawford’s Gr 1 HWB Scottsville Runners In Fine Shape

Brett Crawford has five runners in the Gr 1s at Hollywoodbets Scottsville on Saturday and said all of them had been doing well.

In the Golden Horse Sprint he has Surjay, who will be having his second run as a gelding.

Brett said, “We didn’t want to cut him in the middle of the Cape Summer season, so did it afterwards and he needed his last start in the Drill Hall. He has been putting in very good work.”

Surjay might be having his second run after a layoff, but his best run of the season, when beating high profile horses Kommetdieding and Trip Of Fortune in the Bantry Bay Sprint at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, was also his second run after a layoff and was over this same trip. He showed good cruising speed and a fine turn of foot that day, which is exactly what a horse requires at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. However, he was not quite going through with it all the way to the line, even when he won the Bantry Bay Stakes. If gelding has helped in that regard he could be a good value runner. Luyolo Mxothwa knows the Vercingetorix four-year-old well and retains the ride.

Crawford runs the well-bred Cullinan Blue in the Gr 1 Allan Robertson Championship. She is by Vercingetorix out of Rock Of Gibraltar mare Gibraltar Blue, who followed victory in the Gr 2 KRA Fillies Guineas with a close second in the Gr 1 SA Fillies Sprint before winning the Gr 2 Tibouchina over 1400m, the Listed Gardenia over 1000m and the Gr 2 Ipi Tombe Challenge over 1600m. She has also produced the like of the useful Battleoftrafalgar, a 98 merit rated sprinter.

Crawford was very happy with Cullinan Blue’s preparation and felt she had run a fine race in the Gr 2 SA Fillies Nursery. She was drawn on the wrong side by trends in barrier two in that race, but was up with the pace throughout sticking to her stations. She was only found wanting in the closing stages when the outside horses swooped and she finished a four length fourth. Considering that unfavourable draw and the differing rates at which two-year-olds improve she has a shout of reversing form with Mrs Geriatrix and Red Hot Rose. She is drawn 9 out of 12 and Kabelo Matsunyane stays aboard.

Crawford runs the Irish-bred The Abdicator by No Nay Never in the Gr 1 Gold Medallion. He rated this colt but added he was an excitable type. The pacifiers are now on and he said if he remained settled he would run a much better race than he did last time when beaten 11,50 lengths in the Gr 3 Godolphin Barb over 1100m.

Crawford runs the Australian-bred pair Stiptelik (Snitzel) and Whoa Whoa Whoa (Maurice) in the SA Fillies Sprint and said they were both exceptionally well but were up against two very good fillies in Princess Calla and Desert Miracle.

Crawford’s runners have all been prepared out of Randjesfontein Johannesburg and were on their way to Pietermaritzburg this morning.

Crawford has won Gr 1s at Hollywoodbets Scottsville before, winning the SA Filllies Sprint twice with the Australian-bred Danehill filly Laisserfaire and the Gr 1 Golden Horse Sprint with Bold Respect (Bold Silvano). He has had a host of close calls in Gr 1s at the Pietermaritzburg venue too.

Good Traveller is well weighted in the Gr 1 Golden Horse Sprint on best form (Candiese Lenferna)

Roberts- “Good Traveller Will Think He Is Running Loose With That Weight”

Michael Roberts, fresh from Gr 1 glory in the Daily News 2000, said he believed Good Traveller would think he was “running loose” carrying 54kg in the Gr 1 Golden Horse Sprint.

He said, “He is very well and is in a good space. The handicapper has been kind to him for the first time for ages and dropped him five points, so I believe he will think he is running loose carrying that weight (54kg). It is his third run after a layoff too and he has definitely come on from that last run.”

He admitted, “He is a bit deceptive because he is a very good work horse, so I thought he would run well in that comeback race over 1000m but he is probably more suited to 1200m to 1400m these days.”

He also mentioned his form appearing to be best, when in good company, at Hollywoodbets Greyville. That included a narrow second in the Gr 2 Post Merchants last year.

However, Good Traveller had no luck in last year’s Golden Horse when quietly fancied by former trainer Glen Kotzen.

He faced the breeze the whole way from a good draw of six and finished a 6,65 lengths 12th.

This year he is drawn perfectly in seven and off a three point lower merit rating sneaks into the handicap with the minimum weight of 54kg.

Hopefully, he can find cover. Roberts believes the horse drawn next to him Supreme Warrior has speed and hoped that would help Good Traveller’s cause.

He concluded, “I am hoping for a nice run.”

His first call rider Rachel Venniker has tasted big race success this year with victory aboard the Paul Matchett-trained Eye Of The Prophet (Gimmethegreenlight) in the Gr 2 WSB Gauteng Guineas and she is now looking for her first Gr 1 victory.

Meanwhile, See It Again has pulled up as well as ever from his impressive win in the Gr 1 Daily News 2000 and is on track for the big one, the Gr 1 Hollywoodbets Durban July.

Bartholdi was a tad unlucky in second in last year’s Gr 1 Golden Horse Sprint and will be looking to go one better (JC Photos).

Adam Azzie Happy With HWB Scottsville Gr 1 Trio

Adam Azzie is happy with his three horses who this morning were on their way down to run in the big Festival Of Speed meeting at Hollywoodbets Scottsville.

The Mike and Adam Azzie yard have last year’s runner up Bartholdi as well as Supreme Warrior in the Gr 1 Golden Horse Sprint over 1200m.

Adam said about the five-year-old Act Of War gelding Bartholdi, “He is seven points higher in the merit ratings this year, but is carrying only 1kg more. He has had a very good prep and is spot on. He was very unlucky last year. The speed was in the middle and he was caught behind horses on the inside who could not keep up with that pace. Hopefully, it works out differently this year. It is very competitive but he comes with a lively chance as I can’t fault his preparation.”

Talking about four-year-old Vercingetorix colt Supreme Warrior he said, “He has an issue we have tried to keep on top of and if it is not a factor and he is able to finish as well as he did as a three-year-old he has a chance.”

Both horses travelled to Cape Town for the Gr 1 Pongracz Cape Flying Championship, but Adam knew they were on the back foot after getting a first hand view of what a vector float was all about. They had to travel on vector protected transport due to quarantine protocols.

“The ventilation was poor, so the horses began sweating, and there was no stop over. We were on the back foot under those conditions and I think a line can be drawn through those runs.”

The fact Bartholdi finished just 1,85 lengths back in fourth gives an inkling of how good he is.

Vercingetorix already has three Gr 1 winners at Hollywoodbets Scottsville and Bartholdi must have a fine chance, although he has got the same tricky number one draw as last year.

Bartholdi was seven lengths back in the Gr 1 Jonsson Workwear Computaform Sprint last time out, but was drawn on the wrong side and he will probably appreciate the step up in trip as a horse who has won once over 1500m before and also over 1450m.

Craig Zackey rides Bartholdi and Diego De Gouveia is on Supreme Warrior.

The yard run the luckless Gimme A Shot in the Gr 1 SA Fillies Sprint.

Adam said, “She has been unlucky in two of her last three starts. This is a very tough race. Princess Calla is in a league of her own and Desert Miracle has to be respected and also Iphiko finished just half-a-length behind Princess Calla over 1000m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth receiving just 2kg so if the HWB Scottsville 1200m doesn’t fine her out. Gimme A Shot does have speed, although they might be a bit quicker than her here. That does not worry me though, I will be happy if it works out like that, and if it doesn’t and she is up with the pace I know she is not a tearaway.”

He added, “Hollywoodbets Scottsville sprint races these days appear to depend a lot on how the race pans out and who is getting pulled through by the right horse.”

He is obviously hoping his trio end up in the right place in the running, which was not the case with Bartholdi last year.

Gimme A Prince And Take The Throne

Andrew Harrison (Gold Circle)

The Gr1 Golden Horse Sprint heads a jackpot of Grade 1 races at Hollywoodbets Scottsville on Saturday. It is always an intriguing meeting given the mix that two of the Grade 1’s are juvenile sprints where anything can happen, the Gr1 SA Fillies Sprint is WFA and the Golden Horse is a handicap.

Dean Kannemeyer could hold the key to the Golden Horse with Gimme A Prince who has only missed the boards once in nine starts. He ran a cracker in the Gr2 Independent On Saturday Drill Hall Stakes when jumping from an outside gate and he beat Rio Querari in the G1 Cape Flying Championship. However, Justin Snaith appears to have got former Champion Sprinter Rio Querari back to some semblance of his old self and was a game winner last time out. The gelding seems to have improved with the blinkers removed.

Last year’s Gr1 Gold Medallion winner Thunderstruck could be the dark horse in the race. He has been struggling at recent starts but horses often have a tendency to strike form in yearly cycles and with Sean Tarry at the helm one can expect improvement on his recent showings.

We’re Jamming was close-up behind Rio Querari last time out but has taken an eight-point hit in the handicap.

Tarry, who looks to have a strong hand on the day, sends out the fancied Princess Calla in the Fillies Sprint who has cracking sprint form and meets the majority of this field on better weight terms if one takes ratings into account. Her two recent defeats have come at the hands of males but she did start favourite for the recent Gr1 Computaform Sprint.

Mike de Kock has had Desert Miracle racing over further of late having recently win the Gr1 Majorca Stakes and Gr1 Empress Club Stakes, both over a mile. However, she ran Princess Calla to under a length in the Gr2 Sceptre Stakes and is a big runner.

Stable companion Iphiko was less than a length back to Princess Calla in the Southern Cross Stakes and although all of her recent form has been over 1000m she cannot be written off. Stiptelik is another not far off Princess Calla and with some luck in the running she has a chance of pulling this off.

Tarry saddles the unbeaten Lucky Lad in the Gr1 Gold Medallion who was a comfortable winner of the Gr1 SA Nursery last time out. With rider Richard Fourie on a hot streak, he is likely to start favourite although he will face some useful opposition. Outlaw King suffered his first defeat in the Gr3 Goldophin Barb but it was obvious that he was short of a run. Having seen the course and a run under his girth one can expect a few lengths improvement. Lucky Houdalakis has avoided the Allan Robertson to take on males with the filly Egyptian Mau, a comfortable winner on debut and could be the dark horse in the race. Nathan Kotzen’s gelding Royal Warrior fluffed his lines on debut when touched off by Cliff Hanger but made amends with a five-lengthy romp next time out. He is a must inclusion in all exotic bets.

Candice Bass-Robinson has made a fine start to her Champions Season campaign and can add to her tally with in the Gr1 Allan Robertson Championship. Winter Cloud has the benefit of having won on the course and was most impressive when putting the Gr3 Strelitzia Stakes field to bed. She has won her last three and looks a likely winner. Tarry generally bottles up his best for the big days and the unbeaten Gr 2 SA Fillies Nursery winner Mrs Geriatrix looks a danger to the top choice. She has not won by far in each of her three races, often the sign of a good horse. Golden Tatjana was pitted against males in the Gr3 Godolphin Barb Stakes and was touched off in second. A look at the course and her first run since February should see her in the firing line for Glen Kotzen. Red Hot Rose was a close-up second to Mrs Geriatrix in the Nursery with first time blinkers and she has not been out of the money in four starts for Mike de Kock.

Selections and Formguides:

1 FORESHORE 10 LADY CANTON 8 SEA OF TEARS 7 AMBER SKY

Summary: Glen Kotzen sends out FORESHORE (1) took on winners over the distance last time out and has shown steady improvement. She has the best of the draw and should put in a good showing. LADY CANTON (10) has not had the best of draws of late and has pulled another wide gate. However, Paul Lafferty’s filly has improved with every outing and looks ready for this. SEA OF TEARS (

has had many chances and although runner-up at her last three the younger fillies appear to have her measure. AMBER SKY (7) showed promising improvement when tried over this trip last run and S’Manga Khumalo has stayed with Nathan Kotzen’s runner. (Andrew Harrison: 1-10-8-7).

3 PUERTO PLATA 6 TRITON 4 KASHKAVAL 5 BOOK OF DREAMS

Summary: PUERTO PLATA (3) has consistent Highveld form for Johan Janse Van Vuuren. He stays the trip well and should be in the firing line. TRITON (6) is a long-time maiden but has been consistent in softened ground. If the going firms up he could get it right this time around. KASHKAVAL (4) has been consistent since Yogas Govender added cheek pieces. He does step up in trip but should see it out. Stable companion BOOK OF DREAMS (5) has been trying further but has shown some promise on this track. DUKE OF AFRICA (2) has shown ability but his best recent form has been on the poly track. (Andrew Harrison: 3-6-4-5).

5 TWICE GOLDEN 8 PROFESSOR SNAPE 10 PRIME EXAMPLE 6 ZAKHO

Summary: Garth Puller has taken a chance on young apprentice James Lihaba to partner course and distance specialist TWICE GOLDEN (5) in what is a difficult handicap. Lihaba cut his teeth in ‘bush racing’ so is no wet-behind-the-ears apprentice and his 4kg claim and Puller’s instructions could see them home. But it will not be easy. The grey PROFESSOR SNAPE (

goes the tri for the first time but was running on smartly at his last start and looks primed for this. PRIME EXAMPLE (10) has good form in Highveld staying features and could be one of the last winners Ashley Fortune saddles in this country before moving to Australia. There should be little between ROCK FALL (11), EXCEEDER (12) and ZAKHO (6) but the latter has improved in blinkers and gets the benefit of a 1.5kg allowance. (Andrew Harrison: 5-8-10-6).

4 CAPTAIN FONTANE 1 ROYAL VICTORY 7 RUSSIAN ROCK 8 VANDERBILT

Summary: Garth Puller has always rated CAPTAIN FONTANE (4) and the gelding is finally living up to his billing although has had a difficult career up to this point. He come from well back to beat former Cape Guineas winner RUSSIAN ROCK (7) last time out and even though the latter is slightly better off at the weights he is unlikely to turn the tables going on their last meeting. ROYAL VICTORY (1) has not been out since contesting the Gr1 SA Classic in early March but Nathan Kotzen’s gelding is back over what looks to be his optimum trip from the best of the draw. VANDERBILT (

lost his way a little after racking up a string of successes but was back to his best last start for Tony Peter. SILVANO’S DASHER (12) has drawn wide but he has won against some useful opposition. (Andrew Harrison: 4-1-7-8-12).

10 WINTER CLOUD 12 MRS GERIATRIX 2 GOLDEN TATJANA 7 RED HOT ROSE

(Andrew Harrison: 10-12-2-7).

11 LUCKY LAD 5 OUTLAW KING 7 WARRIOR OF ROYALTY 8 EGYPTIAN MAU

(Andrew Harrison: 11-5-7-8).

1 PRINCESS CALLA 10 DESERT MIRACLE 7 IPHIKO 4 STIPTELIK

(Andrew Harrison: 1-10-7-4).

14 GIMME A PRINCE 13 RIO QUERARI 8 THUNDERSTRUCK 4 WE’RE JAMMING

12 WICCAN WARRIOR 5 KITCHAKAL 9 PONTE PIETRA 3 TABEBUIA

Summary: Tough handicap. WICCAN WARRIOR (12) has taken on the best and found awanting but a drop in class should see him fare a lot better. KITCHAKAL (5) only got a three-point raise in the handicap after his last win and Duncan Howells’s runner has been in good form in useful company of late. The step up in trip should suit and he can go in again. PONTE PIETRA (9) confirmed the form of Kitchakal’s win when running out an easy winner in his follow-up. Kitchakal is 1kg better off so one can reasonably expect a similar result between the two. Stable companion to Wiccan Warrior, TABEBUIA (3) was a comfortable winner on the Highveld last time out but got a hefty eight-point raise in the handicap. However, Richard Fourie stays with the ride. (Andrew Harrison: 12-5-9-3).

Moore was speaking exclusively to Betfair.

12.50 – Regal Reality

He ran pretty much as expected in the face of a stiff task on ground too soft for him at Newmarket last month and a much better run can be expected here.

He is an eight-year-old now but if he returns to the form of his Windsor Group 3 win or his Sandown second last year, then he has a fair shout on ground he will enjoy a lot more than at Newmarket first time up.

The trip may be on the sharp side for him, but hopefully he will be fine. He is well up to this grade on his day, and there is no stand-out in here.

1.30 – Auguste Rodin

It’s about as open a Derby as you could wish for. I have a lot of time for the Lingfield winner Military Order, I like the look of Leopardstown winner Sprewell, while Passenger and Arrest deserve their places towards the top of the market.

Passenger arguably has the most potential of them all and hopefully this doesn’t come too soon for him in his career. Whether he will stay the extra 2f or so is another question he has to answer but the talent is there.

Adelaide River, second to Arrest at Chester, is better than he showed last time but he could have fared better with his draw in 14. Clearly, San Antonio has a bit more going for him as it stands.

I thought Alder would be hard to beat in the Dee Stakes but he got the job done well and in the manner of a colt firmly on the up.

Auguste Rodin has been there and done it in Group 1 company, and I wouldn’t be in a rush to write him off after his no-show in the Guineas. Not that the betting has, I see. I’d stick a line straight through that run and concentrate on his juvenile form and his pedigree which strongly suggests 1m4f will be far more his trip than a mile.

Of course, he needs to bounce back after Newmarket and not many Derby winners have come into the Classic having been so soundly beaten on their previous start, but we hope he is the exception. He is in good shape and his draw in 10 is okay. As I have said, though, it’s a very open race and more than a few will be fancying their chances.

2.10 – Potapova

She was not herself last time, and the vet reported she had an irregular heartbeat afterwards. Whatever it was, it certainly wasn’t her true running. She has it to prove here then but she obviously wouldn’t be here if we weren’t completely happy with her at home and, at her best, she has a lot going for her, including a second in this race last season.

At her best, Prosperous Voyage is probably the one to beat as an unpenalized Group 1 winner.

4.30 – Caius Chorister

He was actually in the Coronation Cup at the five-day stage but this obviously makes a lot more sense off a mark of 99, given that Group 1 race has attracted five good horses who are all well at home in that grade.

He has a very good record around here, with just one defeat in three starts, and that was his best effort yet when second here on heavy ground last time, conditions which may have been too deep for him. He went up 2lb for that run but he still has a lot to recommend him, and better ground will suit him.
