Media Release - VDJ Final Fields Annoucement today 15th July The panel that decides upon the final Vodacom Durban July field, which will be announced at a function at Greyville today, will have a few headaches this year. There are 29 horses still in the reckoning, but those with realistic chances of getting into the 20 horse field can be narrowed down to 24. The five that look likely to be automatic eliminations are Sangria Girl, who was injured in the Canon Gold Cup and has a merit rating of only 98, Saluki who was merit rated only 91 before running fourth in a Pinnacle Plate on Sunday, Bouquet-Garni, who is merit rated 98, Fort Petersburg, merit rated 97 and Galanthus who had some good Johannesburg form but is merit rated only 100 and has never raced beyond 1600m. There are 15 horses that look certain to get in and the nine likely to fight it out for the remaining five places are Captain Scott, Al’s Deputy, Grafton Street, Russian Sage, Goat, Service Ace, Vertical Takeoff, Here To Win and Winter's Night. Only four of these nine are actually in the handicap, Captain Scott, Captain Scott finished a close second in a traditional July pointer, the Grade 3 Cup Trials in his penultimate start. This season he has also won a Listed race over 1450m, finished third in the Grade 2 Charity Mile, finished a 0,35 length fourth in the Grade 1 Summer Cup when giving the winner, Aslan 1,5kg, and finished second in a Grade 3 over 1800m. Despite his age of eight, he is unexposed in big races this season, which gives him dark horse status. Russian Sage was the Equus Champion three-year-old in 2008, although the three-year-old male crop that year was weak overall. Still he did finish only 3,35 lengths behind Pocket Power and Dancer's Daughter in the July. This season, after returning from overseas, he has run two thirds, one over a too short 1200m and the other in a Listed handicap over 1600m at Greyville. He would appreciate the step up to 2200m. Goat, winner of the Grade 2 Gold Circle Oaks last season, made a cracking start to the Champions Season, finishing a flying second in the Listed Scarlet Lady over 1800m with top weight, before running on very well for third in a traditional July pointer, the Betting World 1900 behind Bold Silvano and Aslan, beating the likes of joint-July favourite, Fort Vogue. She had excuses in her poor Cup Trial run, returning with a sore hoof, and wasn't disgraced in the Gold Bracelet over 2000m, finishing four lengths behind River Jetez at level weights. She probably needed that run after her hoof problem and will receive 3kg from River Jetez in the July. Al's Deputy, 1kg under sufferance, earned his high 105 rating on the grounds of a third place in the KRA Guineas and a fifth in the Daily News 2000. The question is how strong those that finished behind him were. He finished way back in the Grade 2 Gold Circle Derby and in his only stakes race against older horses, in Sunday's Listed KZN Breeders over 1600m, he finished midfield. Vertical Takeoff is a four-year-old rated only 101, thus being 1kg under sufferance, but he won the Grade 2 Colorado King Stakes over 2000m in April and finished runner up in the Grade 1 Canon Gold Cup. Service Ace is a three-year-old rated 104 and is thus 1,5kg under sufferance. He is lightly raced and finished third, albeit pretty well beaten, in both the Grade 1 SA Derby and Grade 2 Gold Circle Derby respectively. Here To Win, a three-year-old filly rated 102, is 1,5kg under sufferance. However, she has won a Grade 1 race, the SA Fillies Classic, and also finished second in the recent Grade 2 Gold Circle Oaks. She also has two Grade 2 fourth places this season. Winter's Night is a most interesting candidate, for whilst being a three-year-old rated only 100, and thus 3,5kg under sufferance, he has been cleaning up in Zimbabwe under Lisa Harris, including a facile 3,35 length win in their premier race, the Grade 1 Castle Tankard over 2000m. His South African form prior to leaving was not as good. The panel faces an unenviable task and there will be a few trainers sitting on the edge of their seats at this function.
Vodacom Durban July Weights
Media Release: Vodacom 25th May Bold Silvano’s brave victory over Aslam in the Grade 2 Betting World 1900 has propelled him from outside of the top 30 to 12th position on the latest Vodacom Durban July log issued by There were no changes among the top nine as reflected in the previous log dated May 4, but Bold Silvano apart, Love Is In The Air and Goat also climbed into the top 20. Dropping out of the top 20 were Oracy, Dan De Lago and Captain Scott. Herewith the Log as at 12:00 on Tuesday, 25 May 2010
This log will again be updated on Tuesday , 15 June 2010, and take into account performances at the Golden Horse Casino, Daily News and Rising Sun Gold Challenge Racemeetings.
Impressive performances by three-year-olds Irish Flame and Noordhoek Flyer on the weekend saw them rocket up the Vodacom Durban July log just behind Pocket Power. They are now in second and third place respectively after being nine and eight last week. Irish Flame ended Pierre Jourdan’s Triple Crown bid with a facile nine-length victory in the SA Derby (Grade 1) at Turffontein while Noordhoek Flyer could not have been more impressive in winning the KRA Guineas (Grade 2) at Greyville. This has resulted in defending Vodacom Durban July champion, Big City Life, easing to fourth place on the latest log issued yesterday. Another big mover is Saturday’s unexpected Champions Challenge (Grade 1) winner Regal Ransom who shot from being out of the top thirty last week to ninth position this week. He clearly reveled in the soft underfoot conditions on a rain-soaked Turffontein track as he has yet to be beaten on this surface. None the less it was an excellent effort. KRA Fillies Guineas (Grade 2) winner Gibraltar Blue also moved into the top twenty, 24 last week to 14th this week although trainer Mike de Kock expressed reservations post race about the filly taking her chances in the Vodacom Durban July. Service Ace and the filly Queen’s Bay have moved into contention to just outside of the top twenty but Oracy slipped from 15th to 18th, one position ahead of his stable companion Dan De Lago who will need to prove that he has overcome his poor record at the starting gate before he is assured of a place in the final field. The R3 million Vodacom Durban July (Grade 1) will be run over 2200m at Greyville Racecourse on Saturday, July 31. Listed below are the top 30 on the log with the previous week’s position in brackets.

Media Release: 16th April This year’s R3 million Vodacom Durban July (Grade 1) promises to be a smashing event after 67 entries were received at first entries stage for The announcement of the entries was the focal point of the official launch of Champions Season at a function held at Greyville Racecourse yesterday (Thursday). Former Vodacom Durban July winner Pocket Power and defending champion Big City Life were among the entries as were the two As expected the powerful Mike de Kock yard dominated with 13 entries while champion trainer Charles Laird (5) and Sean Tarry (6) were also prominent, but a marked feature of this year’s entry was the number of trainers with only one or two horses nominated. In all there were entries from 28 different stables. Kumaran Naidoo and Michael de Beer were two trainers with first time entries while Mike Stewart, who seldom makes the trip up from the For the first time in 113 years, the race has been moved from the first Saturday in July to the last Saturday, July 31, to avoid a clashwith the soccer World Cup. There are two other supplementary stages for the race with the first being on The famous and very popular July gallops, in which all horses will participate as a condition of entry, will be held at Greyville on Thursday, July 22. The race will be run over 2200 m at Greyville Racecourse on Saturday, July 31, the last day and a fitting finale to Champions Season 2010.
