Why the sudden change?

HAS BEEN SCRATCHED FROM JULY.

NOT OVER THE 2000 DAILY NEWS RUN.

OFF TO DUBAI NOW

MDK WEBSITE

why not post the reason from the website ...

VERCINGETORIX has been withdrawn from the 2013 Vodacom Durban July. Mike de Kock notified race organisers Gold Circle on Monday morning that the stable’s top three-year-old, who was priced up as the early favourite, will not be taking his place in the line-up.

He told mikedekockracing.com: “We weren’t happy with the way Vercingetorix pulled up after the Daily News, which was a first concern. Secondly, as stated after the Daily News, we were worried about the extra 200m he’d have to take on in the July. We consulted with his owner, Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum, who is in full agreement and supports our decision.”

Vercingetorix will not be seen in action in South Africa again. He will be aimed at the 2014 Dubai International Racing Carnival and will depart for Dubai as soon as possible, more than likely on the early August shipment with other stable runners who will continue their careers in Dubai from December and into the 2014 Carnival, which starts in January.

thanks Dev....

Sylvester - thanks for the details

Dev - thanks for the updates on the scratched runners

Well done to the De Kock stable for letting the punters know. Hey guys don't any of you find this strange?On the one hand a horse that has won up to 2000m at Greyville and favorite for the race is pulled out citing issues around his chances of staying 2200 m and then on the other end we hearing about a horse(Variety Club) who is a 1600m specialist and more likely not to stay the trip possibly being supplemented into the event.Whats that I smell?

You smell nothing, they have already announced the plan regarding VC . Next stop Hong Kong

Oh well ! Just trying to make sense of it all. Guess a few minutes after 16:20 on 7 July it will all become clear.
