South Africa: Little Separating Top Five Runners In Saturday Morning’s Cape Town Met

The Cape Town Met this Saturday morning is a weight-for age event but despite that, there is no obvious stand-out in this year's Grade 1 race over 1 1/4 miles at Kenilworth Racecourse. The feature South African card begins early Saturday morning (First Post: 5:00am ET / 3:00am PT) ahead of The Pegasus Invitational at Gulfstream Park which means it is a huge day of racing for International horse racing fans. World Pools are also being hosted by Hong Kong Jockey Club and you can live stream the racing action from Kenilworth, South Africa at skyracingworld.com, via the Sky Racing World App or on TVG.

L'Ormarins Queen's Plate winner Jet Dark is the best weighted runner based on merit ratings, but only by 1lb. In fact, there is very little separating the highest rated five runners.

The Justin Snaith trained 3-year-old Double Superlative, who last month won the G1 Cape Guineas, could be substantially better than his current merit rating of 113 and is joint favorite for the race. But while Double Superlative may have won the Guineas, there is a question about the ability of this current crop of 3-year-olds and it could be wise to look elsewhere for the winner.

The horse who ticks almost all of the boxes is Kommetdieding. Trained in Cape Town by the father and daughter team of Harold Crawford and Michelle Rix, this 4-year-old son of Elusive Fort won the country's biggest handicap, the G1 Vodacom Durban July at Greyville last year.

He has had the perfect preparation with two really good build-up races, finishing third in the Cape Mile and then second to Jet Dark in the Queen's Plate. Both those races were over one mile, and he will improve markedly over the additional two furlongs.

He won his first four races and was then targeted at last year's Cape Derby, but an injury forced him out and he was not seen in action until May.

Everything is on track for this colt this time.

“Right now, we could not have asked for a more sound and fitter racehorse, and I'm looking forward to Saturday,” said Rix.

He is owned by charismatic Ashwin Reynolds, and the name, Kommetdieding, is Afrikaans for “bring it on.”

Gavin Lerena picked up his first Durban July winner on this horse and will be hoping Kommetdieding will give him his first triumph in the Met.

Meanwhile, Jet Dark could not have been more impressive in winning the Queen's Plate for the second successive year and trainer Snaith is very confident this son of Trippi will see out the trip.

“I don't see 1 ¼ miles a problem for him,” said Snaith. “For a champion racehorse the distance is elementary, and Jet Dark sets the bar very high in the Met.”

However, Jet Dark is racing against other horses who have no stamina doubts, and it will be interesting to see whether he can produce the same finishing burst over 1 ¼ miles as he does over 1 mile.

S'manga Khumalo is unbeaten in two Grade 1 races on him and he is back aboard on Saturday.

Critics may knock Linebacker's somewhat dull performance in the Queen's Plate when beaten out of the placings three lengths back. His jockey on that occasion, Craig Zackey, explained that Linebacker was off the bit early and out of his comfort zone.

It is conceivable Linebacker, winner of the G1 Cape Derby and G1 Daily News 2000, reverts to his usual high-class form in a race likely to be run to suit, especially with regular rider Grant van Niekerk back in the irons.

The Kenilworth card will be live-streamed in HD on the new Sky Racing World App, skyracingworld.com and major ADW platforms such as TVG, TwinSpires, Xpressbet, NYRABets, WatchandWager, HPIbet, DRF Bets and AmWager.

Sky Racing World Announces Historic Merger Of U.S., Argentinian Wagering Pools

Sky Racing World is excited to announce a substantial boost to its content portfolio of International Racing by facilitating the International commingling of wagering pools with host pools in Argentina on racing at Palermo Racetrack, Buenos Aires. On Monday, Jan. 3, the commingling of pools was made available for the first time ever on Argentinian horse racing from the Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo for the American, Canadian, Caribbean and other International markets. PGI (owned by Tabcorp) is the exclusive International Commingling hub for connecting into Palermo pools.

Simulcast is now available for all Palermo meetings on the SRW website, ADW websites, and the SRW App. The races will take place every Monday, including a mix of races on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday with first post at approximately 3 PM EST. The weekend dates change monthly and you can see the full calendar here.

This exciting news is all possible thanks to the work done by the Board and Management of Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo and their work with the government to pass legislation that allows international commingling. The Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo is home to some time-honored events, like the Estrellas Classic, Gran Premio Selección and the Gran Premio Nacional (The Argentine Derby) which started back in 1884.

American and Argentinian breeding have a rich connection that goes back many years. A great example of this is Pure Prize, a Grade 2 winner who sired Grade 1 performers in both countries. In total, Pure Prize has sired 13 crops of racing age and combined progeny earnings of nearly $75 million. He's not alone, as other great stallions Blue Prize and Hi Happy were bred in Argentina before moving north to win major races there. More recently, we saw Gouverneur Morris move over to Argentina when sold, after being a hopeful for the 2020 Kentucky Derby.

All races are live-streamed on the new Sky Racing World App, skyracingworld.com and major ADW platforms. Fans can also get free access to past performances and picks at skyracingworld.com.

Sky Racing World is a subsidiary of Tabcorp, Australia's biggest wagering and entertainment company. It retains the exclusive rights to distribute live racing from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, South Korea, Singapore, and Japan (NAR) to territories across the Americas and the Caribbean. It also remains the leading digital source for premium tipping content from the Southern Hemisphere's leading race markets and live video broadcasts.

Australia: The Everest Summit Is One Week Away

Everest Update: The Everest, the world's richest turf race, is just one week away. Last year's winner Classique Legend used a prep race prior to The Everest last year but is being trained up to the race in 2021. This Thursday afternoon, U.S. time, he has a crucial “barrier trial” (training race from the gate) with major Everest contender and last start winner, Eduardo so keep your eyes on Sky Racing World socials for a replay of the trial. Three Everest slots remain open, owned by Godolphin, Coolmore and James Kennedy. Godolphin's Paulele is entered in Friday night's 5th race and remains under consideration for The Everest.

Friday Night's Feature Race: Race 8, the G1 $1,000,000 Spring Champion Stakes, for 3-year-olds at 1-1/4 miles. Wagering is headed by the exacta horses from the traditional prep race, the Gloaming Stakes, along with a filly who caused a massive Group One upset just last week. The trio can keep close tabs on each other, as they break from adjoining gates.

Hefty Price Tag: Profondo is Italian for “deep,” which describes the pockets belonging to the owner who paid $1.9 million for this colt. More likely, the name pays homage to his late sire, the Japanese racetrack-and-stud sensation Deep Impact (by Sunday Silence). Unraced as a 2-year-old, Profondo debuted with a seven-furlong maiden win on September 1st, before stepping up to nine furlongs in the G3 Gloaming Stakes. Sent off favorite, Profondo raced a bit keenly before hitting the front in the stretch, only to throw the race away by ducking in sharply. He lost narrowly to the more seasoned Head Of State (a son of American Pharoah), and the pair will be neighbors in the starting gate for Friday night's much-anticipated rematch. #1 Head Of State (gate 9) is 7-2, while #2 Profondo (gate 10) is 2-1 favorite.

Fillies Trending: While only three fillies have won the Spring Champion Stakes (first run in 1971), those wins have all come in the past five years (including 2020 winner, Montefilia, who won last week's G1 Metropolitan Handicap as a 4-year-old). #11 Never Been Kissed will attempt to replicate Montefilia's feat of last season, by winning the G1 Flight Stakes and the G1 Spring Champion Stakes “double.” Never Been Kissed was let go at 60-1 when winning the one-mile Flight versus her own sex. She is 4-1 third choice for Friday night's assignment against colts and is drawn directly inside Head Of State in gate 9.

Selection: #2 Profondo

Supporting Stakes: Race 7, the Silver Eagle, is a $500,000 race for 4-year-olds and up at 6-1/2 furlongs. The program also features a pair of Group Two races and a pair of Group Threes. Friday night's 10-race card attracted a total of 140 entries (including Also Eligibles). First Post is 6.35pm Pacific.

Hot jockey(s): Reagan Bayliss was last Friday night's star, increasing his career Group One win total from three to five (Epsom Handicap and Flight Stakes). Hugh Bowman deserves an honorable mention for reaching a special milestone: by winning last week's other G1, the Metropolitan, Bowman became just the fourth Australian rider to register 100 Group One victories (exactly one quarter of Bowman's came aboard Winx).

The Randwick card will be broadcast live on TVG this Friday night (First Post: 9:35pm ET / 6:35pm PT) alongside cards from Gold Coast, Eagle Farm and Goulburn. All races will be live-streamed in HD on the new Sky Racing World App, skyracingworld.com and major ADW platforms such as TVG, TwinSpires, Xpressbet, NYRABets, WatchandWager, HPIbet, DRF Bets and AmWager. Wagering is also available via these ADW platforms. Fans can get free access to live-streaming, past performances and expert picks on all races at skyracingworld.com.
