The race day of the East Cape Horse Care Unit<\/a> will be a huge hit on Friday, March 21, when high quality racing takes place on a public holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the national racing calendar, Friday afternoons are booked for the Fairview track in Greenbushes, which means many people are at work when the thoroughbreds strut their stuff.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This coming Friday is Human Rights Day and more people will have the right (free entry) to be at Fairview for a fun afternoon.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Horse Care Unit this meeting is always an important event to fill the coffers to help them in their quest to look after the well-being and dignity of our equine friends.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Various sponsors will be involved to support the Unit at an action-packed meeting of eight races.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the big races to look forward to on Friday is the R250 000 East Cape Guineas (race 7 of 8 on the card) over 1600m.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also the second leg of the Sophomore Challenge for three-year-old horses. The first leg was won by the impressive My Best Shot from the Alan Greeff stable.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other race not to be missed is the R175 000 East Cape Sprint Cup over 1200m. Top sprinters will clash in what should be a very fast and fantastic race.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This past Friday, the East Cape Fillies Nursery, a race for two-year-old fillies over 1200m, was the feature and we saw a sparkling performance.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anotherdanceforme, trained by Greeff and ridden by Richard Fourie, won easily against very decent opposition.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fourie predicts a bright future for the filly while Greeff indicated she would run even better over longer distances.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greeff also has other promising two-year-old fillies – Golden Palm and Direct Hit \u2013 in his stable.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Direct Hit was an impressive winner of the Cape of Good Hope Nursery last month and Golden Palm caught the eye when she won a Maiden Juvenile Plate earlier this month.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golden Palm has been nominated to run in the R350 000 SA Fillies Nursery over 1160m on March 29 at Turffontein.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top sprinter from the Gavin Smith stable, Cruise Control, might also be in action at the same meeting.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has been entered to run in the R1 million Computaform Sprint over 1000m.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With those two in action, this Johannesburg meeting, which also features the R2 million Premier’s Champion Challenge, will be an exciting one for the followers of Fairview racing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
