ULYSSES (noseband) WINS THE JUDDMONTE.
Ulysses cruises to Juddmonte success
London – Ulysses (4-1) showed he is getting better with age as he put his younger rivals in the shade in the Juddmonte International Stakes at York.
GARETH WRIGHT.
Head Honcho to Rock double
Patrick Nkosi: Head Honcho was the talk of the town on July Day when as 7-10 favourite, he won the Mumm Stakes.
FOREST FOX
Heritage hunt is on
Jack Milner: What is so different about the World Sports Betting Grand Heritage over 1475m at the Vaal on Saturday 30 September is that it gives runners who would not normally get into races carrying a large stake the opportunity to share in the R750,000 up for grabs.

Sherman Brown
China victory for Sherman
Jack Milner: Jockey Sherman Brown’s trip to China proved fruitful on Sunday when he won the feature race on Australian-bred Hales.
LOUIS GOOSEN
Flamingo girl power in Women’s Month
Ken Nicol: After a most encouraging local debut last week Louis Goosen-trained Casa De Var looks well weighted despite now taking on males in the Race 7 at Flamingo Park, a MR 64 over 1000m.
Lalena (obscured)
Katz Got the Cream
Ken Nicol: It was a day to remember at Kenilworth on Saturday for journeyman trainer Dan Katz as he saddled his first winner since taking over the running of Hassen Adams’ Cape string from Darryl Hodgson at the beginning of this season on August 1.
SIR DAVID BAIRD
Newcomer Sir David Baird packs plenty of firepower
Sir David Baird, a first-timer trained by Mike de Kock, warmed up the deep-winter race meeting at Turffontein yesterday with an impressive win over the Inside track 1200m. It’s early days yet, but the three-year-old gelded son of Dynasty showed the turn of foot that sets the best horses apart from the crowd.
MIKE AND ADAM AZZIE
Team Azzie has some good chances at Turffontein
Jack Milner: Mike and Adam Azzie are carded to saddle nine runners at Saturday’s Turffontein meeting on the Inside track and could be the team to follow.
Mark Khan
Mark Khan is back
Five-time South African champion jockey Mark Khan has been granted a jockey’s licence again and will ride at Turffontein on 24 August.
GARY ALEXANDER
Silver Peg a sterling bet
Jack Milner: One has to go back to 7 July last year to find the last time Silver Peg was led into the winner’s enclosure and that obviously does not instil much confidence in punters.
