No local racing until Thursday at Turffontein, then Fairview on Friday, Turffontein and Scottsville on Saturday and a big day at Kenilworth on Sunday. Midweek it's the Chelttenham Festival in the UK, Tuesday to Friday, I will have a look if I get chance and anybody punting UK racing is most welcome to post any tips.

Maybe I’ve missed some news, but do you know why no local racing for 3 days? Never seen that before.

No abandonements South so all I can think is what you and I touched on a few weeks back with the horse population and economics of where the sport is right now. Mind you it seems strange to have a few double headers and then 3 blank days

Pretty sad state of affairs but hopefully this is the low point. Sales figures makes me think the situation will improve but then again I think Mauritius is opening up again soon and I dare say quite a few steeds will be heading there.

thanks mackem. Really odd situation. I looked a few weeks back at fields in Zim, my god what a depressing state, max 5 or 6 horses each race, literally 2/3 stables max.

At least some good racing on cards thurs onwards.

I have never seen so many race meetings ( the ones scheduled that is ) disrupted by rain and either abandoned or postponed as I have in the last few years . I can only put it down to bad track management ? Too expensive to operate and they're too keen to cancel ? Or just being girls if there is any rain about ?
As earlier mentioned the lack of race meetings scheduled recently is a right worry too . Anyway , we carry on for now.

Race 1
KT's nice runner up last time at a big price, One Fine Winter should prove too hot in the opener but limited price sadly .

Race 2
Tina Lovelace finished just behind stablemate One Fine Winter whilst also making her debut and is priced up a short priced favourite to give the Tarry / Munger combination a quick doube .

Race 3
An even shorter fav appears in the 3rd race with Apache Chief as short as 1/4 to make it 3 favourites in a row , however I wouldn't touch the fav at that price and looking to beat it with Sovereign Crown who has improved with blinkers and has the mount of the Candyman.

Race 4
Flight Light also hails from teh Tarry yard in an open race , drawn a little wide but should improve on his last 3.

Race 5
Hotarubi was given a peach of a ride last time will find it harder though in this one. Preference for Raddichio / Purple Pitcher ( despite the latter carrying a hefty top weight )

Race 6
Another odds on in Pomodoro's Jet , won easily last twice but price too skinny , Captain Peg looks decent upset material

Race 7
Almond Sea won well last time coming off the pace , she has her issues and I plan to try beat her . top weight Elegant Ice is drawn well and should be flying at the end .

Race 8
Oxilis Gold is my best for the day , Sakkie de kok .

Race 9
Lot's of money for Sakkie's Roaming Spirit and must be respected , I like the look of Accept Cookies .

Play well bruv's

Thanks Coil, hope you had some of those favs in multiples

Onto Sunday, Kenuilworth,

R3 Peace of Mind, 7/1, MR dropping nicely, hopefully to a winning mark, Lerena up

R4 Blue Holly, 9/2 Trainer has often said she is a real speed ball so comeing back to 1000m should help

R5 Teflon Man, 10/1 speculative play as back from gelding and a break but if close to being 100% could be involved

R9 Celtic Rumours 12/1. Tarry has had a few horses based in the Cape for the season and without much success, this one would need to be back to its best but yard overdue in WCP

R10 Industrialstrength 3/1, still lightly raced, traffic problems last time, gate 1 today

All the best guys

Well this is a good sign I hope, literally one horse jumped out at me and as I come to post mackem has put it up as well.

K9 CELTIC RUMOURS 12.5/1 ew

Been bumping some of the best over various distances and this looks much more her level. I can’t help but think Lerena could have got on board a few more fancied runners here but he reunites with Werners for Tarry.

Skimming card for any others.

Thanks South, lets hope CR brings it home, forgot to add Malmesbury Missile in R2, speculative each way at 14's, bit to find with a few and new yard now but believe major shareholders paid a lot to keep this one after original partnership was dissolved and whilst a few of these might also improve over more ground today MM is one them.
