It’s Summer Cup this Saturday at Turffontein racecourse. Its Johannesburg’s biggest race and when I finally relax and stop focusing on the hectic week I have had, I will then think about the race. I have had a runner in the Summer Cup before, my very first horse who was really very talented, Sabina Park.
This year I have two runners out of the field of 20 and obviously that gives me more chances. Racing at this level is highly competitive and anything can happen so one cannot go expecting to win. I believe the more talented of my 2 horses is Soul Master but he is drawn very badly and his form is erratic. The “correct” one this time may just be Jet Jamboree. Jet Jamboree is trained by Dominic Zaki and ridden by Pierre Strydom. Soul Master is trained by Geoff Woodruff and ridden by Felix Coetzee.
For 2 minutes at about 5:15pm on Saturday my heart is going to beat a lot faster – R1.2 million on line for 1st place and the 2nd horse wins R400 000 – so its big money and big prestige and the one thing racing does is encourage you to dream!

Never really followed the horses, but i know a few members of my family love it. I will be sure to give them a heads up.
Very best of luck to both Jet Jamboree and Soul Master.

I will try my utmost to take Storm to watch the race and if not in the flesh, will definitely watch on TV. Heart will be beating just as much and they are not even my horses. Thanks for the underlying tip though.

Will most definitely be watching. Springboks disappointed, Proteas not all that impressive, whatever Bafana is up to I have no idea - what's left....? There are no Aussies in this race? :-)
