Good morning Clocking The Gallop followers. It's been a busy week covering the National Yearling Sales this week but an added benefit is that we have had some opportunity to chat to the jockeys and trainers about their runners at Turffontein today. Find out what Nico and Neil have found out and what the general buzz is for today's Royal race day.
It's a big day's racing down in the Eastern Cape tomorrow and Nino is his usual confident self with his selections. Going the extra mile, he has added a Pick 6 permutation and Jackpot numbers for his followers. If you haven't followed Nino before, now is the time!
There are 9 races on the poly track today in Kwazulu-Natal at Greyville. We have selections from our resident KZN expert the Ghostryder as well as Rahiel Radhakrishna. Plus we spoke to one trainer and he told us his horse would win!
A rare Wednesday Vaal meeting today with 2 apprentice races and very competitive races throughout the afternoon to boot.
Rouvaun Smit looks at the Cape Town race meeting scheduled for Kenilworth Racecourse on Tuesday April 13.
The polytrack at Fairview will be in use again after racing on that surface on Friday afternoon. 8 races are carded and Nino Podesta brings Clocking The Gallop followers his selections for the early part of the week. An added bonus is that Nico Kritsiotis has chatted to trainers Sharon B Kotzen and Gavin Smith at the National Yearling Sales about their runners tomorrow.
Racing on Sunday is on the turf track at Greyville with 8 races programmed. Clocking The Gallop brings you the selections from the Ghostryder with Rahiel Radhakrishna chipping in too. All in store for, hopefully, a profitable day's racing today.
It is Randox Grand National day today at Aintree in the U.K. and Neil and Nico chat a bit about that. A somber day though as we remember those that lost their lives in the tragic Hennenman air disaster in 1988. Not a particularly entertaining card but one that the boys have a bet price booster on.
It's another Fairview Friday but a special one as it is the second leg of the Polytrack challenge in the Eastern Cape. Nino has some more gems for you. Included in these are some nicely priced first picks.
Racing returns to the main Vaal track for 8 races today and it begins at 13:10?. A tricky card with not so straight forward races to predict the outcome on. Hopefully the boys will hit a bit of form today.
