summer cup discussion and gallery

I think Richard Fourie got a big chance of winning the Summercup this year!

One thing's for sure, expect the unexpected, throw caution to the wind and go wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidddddddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeee in the Quartet, bound to pay big figures.(

.....want to hear something from the far side......my roughie for the race is Glorious Jet......why....because he has the best draw of 20.....
for his style of running......there is nothing better than a horse that cannot jump on terms....to draw wide....the panel dont give him a shout and recon that tail runners can only win from a strong pace.....but if they go at an average clip he will be in touch turning for home and pick off the range bound sorts ....that's if he dont run into them when they start falling back....:

Remember Dance with the Devil, St John Gray's horse with Gavin Lerena, won with a burst from stone stone last in 2011, backed him that day at 20/1.

One interesting that I picked up, is that only 2 of the runners have ever won over 2000 - those being Wyllie Hall and Wagner - not that I fancy them, but as Muhti suggests, it looks like there are a couple of 'range bound sorts' who may be gasping for air come the last 200 - depending on the pace of course.

So yes expect the unexpected - which means that the favorite will probably win <

This is my worst memory.....I backed DWTD on her debut and told many she would be a top horse.....went to the course that day and got talked right out of her.....she cost me the P6.....

The pace is bound to be sedate as both Striker and Superman are going to be saving their mounts bringing in all other range bound sorts in with a chance.....I'm hoping for plenty give in the ground to make it a true test of stamina no matter how slow they go....

Whiteline Fever could be the rite one, Striker, Chris, Jooste & Tarry could pull it off....(tu)
