2 Table Bay, Janoobi head the entries for Gr2 Selangor Cup Table Bay, so impressive when giving weight all round in the Grade 3 Cape Classic, heads the 20 entries for the R400,000 Grade 2 Selangor Cup over 1600m at Kenilworth on Saturday 19 November.

The original plan after win was that he would go straight for the Grade 1 Cape Guineas on 17 December with Markus Jooste’s racing manager, Derek Brugman, saying: “It’s the Guineas next and then we will play around with a few ideas – whether we go for the Derby or the Met. At this point in time we will probably lean towards the side of caution but it’s not inconceivable that we will lean towards the Met.”

The Selangor is the traditional prep for the Cape Guineas although two of the last five winners of that classic had not run in the Selangor. Vari- ety Club and Act Of War won both races and Joey Ramsden who trained them and has charge of Table Bay, has won four of the last five runnings of this race.

Mike de Kock has three of the next four highest merit-rated entries headed by Janoobi who won the Grade 3 Protea Stakes at Turffontein in April and showed good form when winning a handicap at Turffontein on Saturday. However, he is drawn quite wide at No 15.

Highly regarded Al Fahad and Bold Rex have both drawn well at Nos 8 and 7 respectively. He also has entered Heavenly Blue who was touched off in the Grade 3 Graham Beck Stakes by Doosra at Turffon- tein on Saturday.

3 Charities come away with more than R2-million

SATURDAY’s Gr2 Peermont Emperors Palace Charity Mile winner New Predator, represented by boxer Kevin Lerena (photo above, middle), bagged R150,000 for the Peermont Education Trust.

R1-million was given away based on the result of the Peermont Emperors Palace Charity Mile with runner up, Saratoga Dancer, earning R100 000 for Charity Chest while the Lesedi Programme received R80 000 after Deo Juvente ran third.

The Seaside Fund walked away with a R70 000 injection while the remaining 12 charities each received R50 000.

“We couldn’t have written a better script. It’s great to be able to give back and even better that no charity walks away as a loser,” said winning celebrity Lerena.

The Highveld Horse Care Unit was another of the big winners on the day, benefiting to the tune of a little over R1.2-million courtesy of Phumelela Gaming & Leisure. This reaffirms the idea that the welfare of the athlete is of utmost importance both during and after their racing careers. - Racing. It’s A Rush.
