Disastrous Summer Cup meeting has left racegoers broke

Presenters and officials’ description of Tuesday’s Summer Cup meeting being “a wonderful day” is so wide of the mark, it isn’t even funny. A fair estimate is that by the conclusion of the 10-race programme 95% of punters had empty pockets.

However, a bet that makes a lot of appeal is to couple Desert Miracle — winner of her last four starts — with Candice Bass-Robinson’s filly, Dancetildaylight, in the swinger. Yes, Aldo Domeyer has opted to partner the superbly bred Amanzimtoti , winner of the recent Fillies Championship, but a case can certainly be made for her stable companion.

At a meeting in which many of the big names in racing will be seen in action, Rainbow Bridge contests the 25th race of his career in the grade 2 Green Point Stakes and bids to notch the 12th win of his career. The seven-year-old is opposed by four rivals and each one goes to post with strong claims, notably Jet Dark and Durban July runner-up Linebacker.

Captain Fontane lost his unbeaten tag in the Merchants and the jury is out on whether he is up to defeating his more established rivals, receiving only 2kg.

Borderless Africa is ridiculous ideaIt looks like the price of having been assisted by a few African states in bringing down the apartheid government has left SA with a huge debt. Ridiculous idea for Capitalists , globalists and minority of arrogant white people who are benefiting from the fruits of colonialism in Africa. America is not a Country it's a Continent but every neoliberal twat is busy spewing hogwash. This is sponsored article by capitalists. When we divided we are more vulnerable.
