Cape trainers don't seem to be the best judges with their babies.
Odds on shots beaten plenty times and less fancied stable companions coming out and winning.

When the Snaith stable have a go on their juveniles, the money is normally spot-on. Outside of Marshall and Drier, then i feel the others let their babies run on ability alone.

Running a yard’s first two year olds of the season can be a nervewracking exercise for a trainer.

In 70 seconds it can be a case of determining whether it’s all duck or no dinner for the next 12 months.

Joey Ramsden – no ducking or diving

Training racehorses. It’s not the world’s number one profession for the faint hearted by any stretch of the imagination.

Joey Ramsden, the man who has taken R20 000 yearling Twist Of Fate to earnings of close on R900 000 in nine months, and teeters on the brink of the R5 million CTS 1600 in a fortnight, steps out his first babies of the new term.

He is a man who knows that resting on the laurels doesn’t pay the bills and reinventing the wheel of fortune has to happen every new season.

“I’m more nervous when running my first 2yo’s of the season than saddling the odds-on favourite for the Queen’s Plate! You know in 70 odd seconds if it’s going to be all duck or no dinner for the next 12 months – or worse!” chirps the charismatic Englishman, as he fields our invasive digging for information on his first-timers.

He has engaged Anton Marcus to ride the R350 000 National Yearling Sale Var filly Ibra. The jockey booking already trims the price and Var never hurts in the baby races. We have also seen that a good 2yo filly often has the edge on a good 2yo colt.

“Ibra goes well. And having Anton (Marcus) aboard always helps. My Twice Over colt Double Alliance is a nice sort and more  than capable,” he adds. Not a bad buy at R150 000 off the Cape Premier Yearling Sale last year – by the sire of the moment.

“The thing is we hear whispers but we don’t know really who we are up against. But I really do enjoy my duck, so one holds thumbs that both mine will be right thereabouts!” he smiles.

On looks going to post, Miraculously Ours.

Come on Anton :-
