Richard Fourie was high in his praise of the Dynasty colt Legislate, whom he called one of the best horses he had ever sat on. Third-placed Captain America clearly needed the run and the return match in the Gr 1 Daily News 2000, which is likely to include Triple Crown hero Louis The King, is going to be some race.

However, Legislate has beaten Captain America over that trip before, when winning the Gr 1 Investec Cape Derby.

Legislate has an interesting story behind him. After being secured at the National Yearling Sales for a mere R90 000 on behalf of Dennis and Gael Evans of Newbury Racing, Jonathon Snaith phoned breeder Vaughan Koster of Cheveley Stud to ask him whether there was something wrong with the horse, as they had been expecting to fork out a lot more for one of the lots they had earmarked as one of the best of the sale.

Drakenstein Stud and Jack Mitchell now also have a share in Legislate.

Maybe Yes, by Tiger Ridge, showed an explosive turn of foot in the KRA Fillies Guineas and won easily. She has finally put the problems that kept her out of the Cape summer classics and the recent Umzimkhulu Stakes behind her.

In The Fast Lane, who finished third, appeared to need the run and the possible return match in the Woolavington 2000 will be interesting. KRA Fillies Guineas runner up Not Sulking as well as the like of dual Gr 1 winner Along Came Polly, SA Fillies Classic winner Athina and SA Oaks winner and runner-up, Ash Cloud and Mohave Princess, could be involved.

Maybe Yes was bred by Mary Slack’s Wilgerbosdrift Stud and her daughter Jessica owns her in partnership with Gary Grant Chris Haynes and Mr and Mrs F Ladeira.[/expand]
