The Vodacom Durban July Log as at 31 May 2021

I took a bet on Crown Towers pre scratching and reinstatement and the bet still reflects as pending on Hollywood is it still a live bet. I also would like some opinion on Do it Again, have take the 10s as I believe he will be a very lively contender given the weight he is alottwd to carry

My opinion is your bet on Crown Towers is still a valid bet. Its an ante post bet. The final field can be made up of any runners that are nominated at the supplementary stages. An ante post market does not necessarily have to reflect nominationed runners for the race. When Enable won her first Arc, it was the ante post favorite but was only supplemented at the final stage. The only condition that should apply if Crown Towers makes the final field for the bet to be valid and that goes for any other runner for an ante post bet.

Gavin Lerena on Kommet the thing. . bIg call.

Express from usa gets Marco

Sovereign sport get Keegan.

rascalion veale

line backer grant van

12 jocks now declared.

Muzi GTGL hewitson one of the tarry runners and cheyne probably get rides as well. so 3 slots left for other jocks

Getting close to final field 🤫

Muzi on GTGL
serino on matterhorn. nice call

down to 27 runners

Still a few questions to be answered tomorrow - will the stable run Cirillo after his disappointing effort in the Challenge, will Running Brave get a run, will Snaith run Silver Host (and will he get in), or go for the Gold Vase - for me at this stage looks like Atyaab might be first reserve - imo will be competing for that final slot with Shango, Tristful, Matter Horn and Johnny Hero

Snaith has declared 5 of 7 jockeys including Munger on Silver Host. putting pressure on the selection committee

Johnny hero should get in on the Jubilee win. special consideration or such

I know horses are selected on Merit, but their should be a cap per trainer

Horses are selected on the selection committee's fancies - not purely on merit ....

My point on a cap still stands

I agree with you Bob
