Vodacom Durban July winner Legislate rather than Met and Queen’s Plate winner Futura looks like being Justin Snaith’s main runner in the Independent On Saturday Drill Hall Stakes at Greyville on Saturday.
Snaith said on Monday: “I will probably run Legislate and Richard Fourie will ride. He is doing well but it’s a prep run and I will use it as such.”
Futura is likely to wait a bit longer before having his first run for the champion trainer and Snaith said: “I am just trying to find races for him.”

Act of War is on target to follow the Variety Club route and have his first race since the Investec Cape Derby in the Winter Guineas – and the colt was yesterday reported in good shape for Sunday’s Kenilworth Grade 3.

The current crop of female sophomores might well be one of the best ever seen in this country.  Their form has consistently stood up and, as well as having plenty of depth at all distances, they have also achieved fine results against older horses.

This season’s three-year-old male results have proved that caution should be excercised when rating performances and the Equus panellists will have a nightmare picking out a champion from this less than vintage crop.

On a memorable day for legendary trainer Mike de Kock and his chief jockey Anthony Delpech, it was the Weiho Marwing-trained Australian-bred entire Wylie Hall who stole the show at Champions Day at Turffontein on Saturday by downing the ruling Vodacom Durban July favourite Majmu in the Gr 1 R2 million President’s Champions Challenge over 2000m under a fine ride by Bernard Fayd’Herbe. The victory provided some consolation for Wylie Hall’s unlucky defeat in last year’s July.
