Cape Derby

Piere Strydom looks over for dangers on It’s My Turn at Kenilworth

 By Michael Clower 5:30PM 23 JAN 2016 

Report: South Africa Saturday 

Kenilworth: Investec Cape Derby (Grade 1) 1m 2fturf, 3yo

It’s My Turn (Justin Snaith/Piere Strydom) sprang a 16-1 shock when coming fast on the stands side to get up inside the last half furlong.

Stable companion Black Arthur, who started 6-5 favourite, was fourth.

Six-time champion Strydom said: “I thought I’d got the ride on Black Arthur and then I was told I hadn’t. After that I was to ride Prince Of Wales and then he was scratched. So I rode this one whose rating is nowhere near the top horses. A furlong out I thought ‘I can’t believe it – I’m going to win.'”

Snaith, winning the race for the third time in nine seasons, said: “This horse has improved so much and now he is definitely going to Durban for the season there. I think Black Arthur’s win in the Politician took too much out of him. Two weeks between the two races is too close.”

The strongly-fancied Brazuca flew home to take second, beaten two lengths, after struggling to go the pace early.

Rider JP van der Merwe said: “He is very immature. I was second last and off the bit much of the way.”

Last year’s winner Inara (Mike Bass/Grant van Niekerk), starting at 13-2, wore down 11-20 hotpot Same Jurisdiction close home to score by three-quarters of a length.

Van Niekerk said: “She always gives her best and she never lets me down but she never felt the same filly in Durban last year.”

Mike Bass said: “Inara is a top class filly and a tough one. Today she was probably at her best and my daughter Candice has done a great job getting her ready for this.”

Illuminator (Glen Puller/Heavelon van der Hoven) proved a lucky chance ride for the 23-year-old apprentice who partners this colt at exercise every day. When he heard on Saturday morning that Weichong Marwing had hurt his back he promptly asked Puller for the ride.

Puller, 54, who trains 38 horses at Milnerton in Cape Town, said: “Illuminator is a difficult boy and Heavelon knows him so well. He had also won on him twice.”

The apprentice brought the 16-1 chance up the stands side to beat 17-10 favourite Silver Mountain three-quarters of a length to land by far the richest race ever run in South Africa.
