We are heading towards Champions Day on 6 April where four Grade 1 races and a host of Grade 2 events will be run, including the TAB SA Derby and Wilgerbosdrift SA Oaks for fillies, both over 2450m.
Ormond Ferraris is a legend in South African racing circles and not only did he train for more than 60 years but also passed on his knowledge of the sport to the likes of Mike de Kock and Weiho Marwing. During that time he virtually owned the Oaks and Derby, winning the former 10 times and the latter on eight occasions so it is fitting the Oaks Trial is named in his honour.Mary’s Greenlight is trained by De Kock and is a three-time winner from 11 starts.
The Rafeef filly has raced just three times for a second place on debut followed by two wins. She is getting better with each run and still has loads of room for improvement. Trained by Brett Crawford, one would imagine this race is just the dress rehearsal for the main event on 6 April and as a result she could well reverse the form with Mary’s Greenlight, despite the weight difference.
De Kock has two runners in Dubai Hills and lightly raced Marauding Horde who shifted around when winning last time and has been fitted with blinkers for this run.
