PARISIAN WALKWAY gets to the post by a short margin to win the Grade 2 TAB Gauteng Guineas. A great win for trainer Alec Laird and jockey Diego De Gouveia.

With a 25/1 price, anyone that had played PARISIAN WALKWAY to win will be smiling.

Mike and Matthew de Kock's filly, SPUMANTE DOLCE takes the first leg of the Wilgerbosdrift SA Triple Tiara in the Grade 2 Gauteng Fillies Guineas.

Note: Races 7 and 8 at Greyville on 31 February 2025 were abandoned due to a power failure.

I used META AI to draw this picture for me. It didn't quite understand what I wanted. But, heck, good enough...

The first leg of the SA Triple Crown and the Wilgerbosdrift Triple Tiara takes center stage this Saturday at Turffontein (1 February 2025), featuring the R1-million Gauteng Guineas and the R750,000 Wilgerbosdrift Gauteng Fillies Guineas. Both Grade 2 contests, run over 1600m on the Standside track, promise an exciting day of racing.

Notably, although several fillies were nominated for both races, all have opted to compete in the Wilgerbosdrift Gauteng Fillies Guineas. Among them is the standout star QUID PRO QUO, who will bid farewell to South African racing fans before heading overseas to continue her career.

South African jockey Gavin Lerena has released a formal statement addressing an incident that occurred during Race 2 at Turffontein. Acknowledging the gravity of the situation, Lerena expressed deep regret over his actions, apologizing to all parties affected, including the horse's owners, trainer, sponsors, fans, and racing authorities. He also provided context for his response, which he attributed to provocation during the race, and emphasized his respect for the sport while reaffirming his commitment to its integrity. The inquiry process, he noted, would allow for a thorough review of the events.

It was all about Mano Pandaram and his first ever winner but in a confident ride that included a celebratory salute before the post, Maiden Brewer guided THUNEE PLAYA (8/1) to a narrow 0.30-length victory over the tough Turffontein 1800m.

The Grade 1 sprinter GIMME A PRINCE proved he still has what it takes, overcoming a year marred by injuries and setbacks to reclaim his spot at the top with a scintillating performance.

Race favorite DYCE settled just behind a brisk pace set by the Gqeberha-based CRUISE CONTROL, with SURJAY, the Grade 1 Mercury Sprint winner, also in the early mix. Trailing closely were SEEKING THE STARS and CAFE CULTURE, both well-positioned to strike. Meanwhile, GIMME A PRINCE, sitting comfortably four lengths off the leaders, was poised for his moment.

THUNEE PLAYA wins the Dr Richard Maponya Handicap.

Justin Snaith's EIGHT ON EIGHTEEN with Richard Fourie in the driving seat wins the World Sports Betting Cape Town Met.
