A nice comfortable win under Craig Zackey. And we still managed to snatch a bit of 5/2 at race time when it was delayed! Ran to her rating. Weekend continues with Turffontein tomorrow. 😉

We are just over 2 hours away from the first race @Hollywoodbets Greyville racing this Saturday. Big stakes on offer. We have Tulip Fields who runs in race 4 at 14:05SAST running to a rating of 100 in her most recent start hence we believe that she should be carrying 60kgs. 2/1.

They say that the early bird catches the worm. Let’s hope this is true for today. We’re at Fairview and we have stumbled across a 10/1 chance who has a good each way chance today. He runs in race 5 and his name is Pardon Me. Back on the turf and drawn well. Expect a massive run.

Thursday racing is at Turffontein and it is a good day weather wise. 9 races carded. Our One For The Day is the Dawson sisters-trained Express Yourself who runs in race 7 over 2000 metres. He has the cheek pieces on and this could make the difference. Currently quoted at 11/2. 😉

Imagine our surprise when we looked at the betting this morning to see that the bookmakers had it the other way. On our unofficial 2 year old ratings, we had Winter Blessing 4 lengths clear of Royal Crest. 14/10 was the best price and we all got on! Tomorrow, Turffontein. 🤩

Midweek racing has switched venues and we are now in Durban @Hollywoodbets Greyville on the polytrack. Our best bet today is Winter Blessing who runs in race 2, a sprint over 1000 metres. The blinkers are back on and should be tough to beat. Currently quoted at 14/10. Have a bet.

That’s it folks! A great Easter week yielding great profits. Another winner today in Cape Town tipped at the best price. Why would anyone pay for information? Day off tomorrow to recharge the batteries and back on track for Wednesday. Enjoy your profits folks. 😎

Happy Family Day to all. We start racing @Hollywoodbets Kenilworth at 13:05SAST today with 8 races on the card. Our One For The Day is the 3/1 chance La Pulga who runs out of the @bassracingstble. He is well overdue his next win and has a huge winning chance. Have a bet! 😉

Happy Easter to all of our followers that observe. Top rider Craig Zackey had 4 winners yesterday at Turffontein and could add to his tally for the season with Arverni Princess who runs in race 8 @Hollywoodbets Scottsville this afternoon. Quoted at 3/1 currently. Have a bet. 😉

Easter just got better. @SnaithRacing issues a knockout blow at Turffontein. Never ever in doubt!

An action packed day at Turffontein this afternoon as the Johannesburg city track hosts Champions Day with 12 races on the bill. It is a @WorldPool day too. Our One For the Day is the highest rated horse in South Africa, See It Again, who runs in race 8 over 2000 metres. 12/10.

A very Good Friday to all. South African racing consists of a double header today with Fairview during the afternoon and @Hollywoodbets Greyville this evening. Our One For The Day is Monkey’s Wedding who runs in race 4 at Fairview. Quoted at 7/2, we think he’ll love the extra. 😉

We knew it was Easter time but not Christmas! We got 5/2 at race time about our best bet today. Our assessment of Golden Operator’s rating had him at much better than the 87 rating which he was weighted at. Surprised at the money for Never Never Land. This is a skill!

Thursday racing takes place on the classic track at the Vaal with 9 races on the programme. Golden Operator runs in a handicap for the first time in the fifth race today over 1450 metres at 14:35SAST. Although he shoulders top weight, he could be much better than an 87. 16/10. 😉

Thank you @thedirectlinesa not home yet but I’ve been moved from the ICU to a normal ward 🙏🏻 I’m sure I’ll be home tomorrow

@duchemin_erica @gavlerena07 is badly bruised and battered but he is back at home thankfully with no broken bones. Jockeys are tough sportsmen and we underestimate their agility in the saddle. I am sure he will update us himself when he sees this!
