It was a slow start for trainer BASIL MARCUS and POLISHED STEEL will be hard to beat next time over further, MIKE DE KOCK as usual was on the mark, winning the big one with LIZARD'S DESIRE.

This 4yold colt was made ready by his trainer St John D Gray and finished off by jockey Felix Coetzee who had the colt handy, hit the front 300 out and ran on with no danger of being beaten.

You only had to see CALL TO COMBAT'S previous race result when he was right behind REGAL RANSOM who in turn came out to win his next two races beating the likes of RUDRA and SMART BANKER in the CHAMPIONS CHALLENGE (Grade 1), to realise this was the right horse in the Scottsville 1950m MR 93 DIVIDED HCAP yesterday 12/05 2010,

RODEO DANDY 2yold colt trained by Eugene Cox won first time out and was backed from 10's to 5/1. “I have my system that I work on and if a horse passes the three steps then he is ready to win and be backed” said a happy Eugene. This one showed promise at home and Figgy finished off the job.

Eugene had great success while training for big time gambling owner Eddie Carton with the blue and white check colours

SPORTS COACH the 2yold JET MASTER colt showed tons of ability when winning first time out at TURFFONTEIN on Monday the 5th.

Keep an eye on this one

This combination of Trainer jockey landed four winners on a eight race card at Scottsville

MIRAGE DRIVE won on his first time out over 2450m at Turffontein without being hard pressed, by the wide margin 14.75l and his time for the distance would have put him about one length behind the AQUANAUT HANDICAP (Listed) winner 5yold gelding GOLD ON GOLD who won later on in the day.

The many happy owners of MIRAGE DRIVE showed their joy in the post race interview and are confident that they have the best 3yold over ground in the country.

Well done Stephen

Despite getting left a few lengths at the start DAN DE LAGO (AUS) should still have had enough class to beat this field.

It’s very disappointing when a near certainty gets beat.

See below when DAN DE LAGO'S (AUS) stable mate EIGHT STREET (AUS) gives KILLARIDGE and REGAL RANSOM 3kgs and a 3.75 beating, surely DAN DE LAGO (AUS) is a few lengths better than EIGHT STREET (AUS)

Quinton rode three winners and three seconds from seven rides at BORROWDALE on Sunday 21/02/2010

Hi David,

Firstly well done with the site, brilliant stuff.
I am addicted to it, and as a jockey it is a huge help
selecting the right rides. Every free moment while riding
at track I'm looking up form lines on my phone and comparing how they worked.!

Quinton Riddle

Any one out there willing to Sponsor Quinton?

Hi David,
Well done with your Formgrids, I have taken the liberty of making a short demo video
for my clients on how to use them.
I have posted this on my site www.profit.co.za as well as on YouTube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9PcypFrO-0
so that video searches on google will find it.
Hope you don't mind,
Kind regards
john

Well done to Wolfgang for all the additions to formgrids, we hope you will enjoy the benefits and find your winning bets easier.

Some of the new features include the jockeys names and betting in the results, also when putting the cursor over the distance in the cards or results header it will show all runs over that distance, and when you scroll over the trainers name in the race cards the stable companions will highlight, then all searches are more detailed

More additions are on the cards, and in the words of the late Roy Curling "play well"

Racegoers from all around the country...

The BRAVURA formline has paid formgrids followers big time with SAM THE MAN winning the 3rd race yesterday at Kenilworth at the generous odds of 12-1, 9 races have been won out of this formline

On the 23rd of Dec at Kenilworth the formline produced a 308-1 double with CURRENT LINE 55-1 and ZEPHYR 11-2 winning the 2nd and 3rd races

RHYS VAN WYK has accepted the job as academy master and has given up his short training career,
"I have thought about it long and hard before I agreed, just when things are coming together in my yard this offer has come along, and I had to decide,
I have to be there on the 3rd Jan as the new intake arrives on the 5th, it will be hard to leave some of the nice horses in my care behind, LUBRICATOR was making such good improvement and one or two other younger horses showed promise, but this came along now and I feel I might make a difference as I have so much to give to the youngsters if they are willing to listen,
I can recall when I was small and weak and my dad gave me the chance I needed,
I grew up when jocks like Schoeman, Curling, Turner, Maree and Rhodes were at the top of their game so now I want to pass on my riding knowledge"

RHYS was at the top of his game when he was forced to retire from race riding through an arm injury and is one of the few jockeys worldwide that can be genuinely referred to as a master jockey

Followers of Formgrids may have seen that the 2nd, 3rd and 4th race winners at Greyville

Malaysian chief steward David McGillivray was attacked in a carpark in Ipoh and slashed with a machete on his left arm by two men on a motorcycle. Police are investigating.

ASLAN trained by the inform Sean Tarry yard showed courage when finally collaring leaders MEET AT MALAMALA and CAPTAIN SCOTT late under the expert coaxing and guidance of Felix Coetzee then held on just long enough to beat a flying MAGICAL with Piere Strydom aboard to the winners cheque.

Well done to a deserving group of owners who have spent a lifetime in the game
