Desperado
Good morning Clan,
I hope you’re all keeping safe during these uncertain times.
“Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?” — perhaps a message for Donald.
Is he really in talks with Iran?
Closer to home, the various commissions have been quite staggering… but the big question remains: will there be any real accountability?
The state of our police force is deeply concerning.
We’ll be heading down to KZN on Thursday for a couple of weeks, after having to adjust our UK travel plans due to the ongoing Middle East situation — and at a higher cost, unfortunately.
Sport
Hearts have moved back into favouritism in Scotland — shaping up to be a very exciting few weeks ahead.
Racing
Constitution Hill runs on Wednesday evening at Kempton, with Ryan Moore booked to ride.
Locally, the draws for Champions Day on the 4th are out, although final runner confirmations are still pending.
Double Grand Slam looks the one to beat in the Empress Club — unless Golden Palm heads that way instead of the Oaks.
The Champion Challenge looks wide open, as I’m not convinced by the favourite, Do It Again.
In the Sprint, Buffalo Storm Cody sets the standard, but William Robertson and Kingdundee have secured better draws.
Hazy Dazy will be aiming to complete the Triple Tiara. The big question — will Curious Girl go for the Oaks or the Derby?
I’ve seen jump horses win twice in a day… but winning both the Oaks and the Derby on the same day would be a first! 🤣
Other Highlights
Luyolo Mxothwa and Smanga Khumalo have both been suspended by the NHA.
Australian star Autumn Glow (11 from 11) is being aimed at the Queen Elizabeth.
Small fields concern.
Another classic track this week from one of the greatest bands ever — The Eagles.
Good punting 👍
