Are you ignoring the 20 horses rated 100+ :whistle:

Maybe the Summer Cup & the July should just be called Class 1 Handicaps

With 18 runners carrying 53,5 and below there was alway going to be an opportunity / need to blood the youngsters who can draw the correct weight - great experience for the likes of emerging talents such as Cole Dicken, Nathan Klink etc

We all know the ratings are inflated - so I agree with OTA - but then the same pretty much applies to the July - I think only a few of the runners in the July will be rated above 120 ?

I have a question, why have they knowingly entered Queen Supreme when she will come in under sufferance? Surely she has/had more of a winning chance if taking her place in the Ipi Tombe against her own sex. Winners stake in the Ipi Tombe R 203 000.00, third place stake in the Summer Cup R 200 000.00.

I'll row in with Queen Supreme.

Guessing has never been widely acclaimed as a good gambling strategy.

You guys reckon Soqrat will stay the Turffies 2000m's? Especially under 60Kg's? Enough featherweights to make for a true run race..... I would not back it anything below 6/1.

Okay, just watched the Victory Moon again and carrying 62.5 he was not stopping. But still not for me... turffontein a tougher track than the Vaal
