The Cape Town MET field has whittled down to the final group of runners. This annual horseracing event will take place on 30 January 2021 and will, unfortunately, not allow spectators for the first time in the history of the event.

Some notable absentees are:

JET DARK, the only three year-old in the 2021 G1 Queen’s Plate delivered a knockout blow to accomplished older horses in a 1600m epic, just as Gimmethegreenlight had managed for the self-same training outfit, Snaith Racing (Justin Snaith), when also pitted against the big guns as a three year old in 2012.

After HURRICANE HARRY had set a steady pace with CIRILLO and SILVER OPERATOR stalking, it was RAINBOW BRIDGE who made what seemed the decisive move in deep stretch down the centre of the Kenilworth Summer course.

It was mission fulfilled for QUEEN SUPREME (IRE) in the Cartier Paddock Stakes (G1) as she doubled up on last year's romp in this prestigious WFA contest for fillies and mares.

The Irish-bred, Exceed and Excel mare stamped her class in a true run 1800m after HEART STWINGS had set a torrid pace. What A Winter mare, CLOUDS UNFOLD, herself a G1 winner snared three year-old, PRINCESS CALLA in a head bobber for second.

The Justin Snaith trained JET DARK wins the 2021 L'Ormarins Queen`s Plate. JET DARK was taken home by Grant Van Niekerk.

CELTIC SEA wins the CARTIER SCEPTRE STAKES.
