Runners from the Joey Ramsden stable dominate the betting for the R1-million Tsogo Sun Sprint over 1200m at Scottsville on Saturday.

All four Grade 1 races will be run over 1200m and form a Jackpot of Grade 1s attracting the best sprinters in the country.

Ramsden sends out three runners in the Tsogo Sun Sprint and all of them have top jockeys booked. Attenborough, to be ridden by Anton Marcus, is a weak 5-1 favourite while Brutal Force, with Piere Strydom in the irons, is at 7-1. Table Bay is the mount of Anthony Delpech and is quoted at 9-1.

Local hopeful London Call, from the Mark Dixon yard, has opened at 7-1, and there is 8-1 available about dual Guineas-winner Janoobi and Brett Crawford’s Search Party.

Strydom won the race last year on Talktothestars and Coenie de Beer’s runner is quoted at 12-1 to defend his crown. Chase Maujean takes the ride.
