Entries -Cape Fillies Guineas

Well here is a quote from me "Ebony Flyer has as much chance as my Jack Terrier of staying and winning the J&B Met" I actually think given that Igugu was 3 wide the entire trip and that she had to travel that over 1800m in the Paddock Stakes she will have Ebony's measure. As far as the Met goes we should pay little attention to what Justin said as it did not come from Barry, but from a young trainer who was just thrilled that Mike de Kock came to Cape Town. Mike should move a string to Cape Town, because you cannot really say you won a Maiden Plate unless de Kock has a runner in it !

Jokes aside Justin has has performed a magnificent feat in winning 3 out of the last 4 Fillies Guineas. Full credit to him. I must just make certain that De Kock had runners when Captain's Lover and Sparkling Gem won otherwise it was not really a Grade 1.

Thanks Russell thats as close as Igugu will ever get to her,Ebony Flyer is a Monster !

Sure she took a wee false step on the bend? and the excuses that Igugu ran wide imo are just making cases for her,Both Igugu and Ebony Flyer were given perfect rides,its just a case the Ebony Flyer is Turbo Charged
