Jockey, who turns 36 on Saturday, set to partner Cala Muretta and War Empress at Free State track on Thursday
The phone call from father Andrew Fortune to his son Aldo Domeyer may have gone something like this: “Hey, son, I’ve got an early birthday present for you — two winners at the Vaal on March 9.”
War Empress, R240,000 daughter of Vercingetorix, has been priced up evens favourite for the fourth race and, after two placed runs, should leave the maiden ranks.In the third race, Domeyer is booked for newcomer Cala Muretta, who cost the Ashley Fortune stable R300,000 when bought from Varsfontein Stud at last year’s National Yearling Sales. The dam Scandola retired a three-time winner.
In the prerace comments in Winning Form, Binda says Ziyasha “will need the run” and — this being the case — it’s perhaps a surprise Keagan De Melo has been booked for the ride. This season’s leading rider will want every ride to have a winning chance. In the fifth race, Sean Tarry will be expecting a big run from Broadlands, a daughter of Silvano who was bought by Kentucky-based breeder Antony Beck for R400,000. Gavin Lerena rides the filly for the second time.

Three Charged for Complicity in Cameroonian Journalist's MurderA military court in Cameroon has reportedly charged three people with complicity in the January torture and killing of journalist Martinez Zogo. Voice of America is quoting Cameroon media as saying that business tycoon and media mogul Jean-Pierre Amougou Belinga, Lieutenant-Colonel Justin Danwe, and Police Commissioner Maxime Eko Eko are being held in a maximum-security prison along with several policemen and civilians. A Yaoundé military tribunal charged the three men on Saturday March 4, 2023 with complicity in the torture that led to Zogo's death in January. Cameroon laws state that crimes involving the use of weapons, especially guns, can be handled by a military court. Seven other suspects detained in a series of February raids, including one on Belinga's house, were released on Saturday without charges. Journalists in Cameroon are calling for justice despite receiving threats since Zogo's killing and, just days later, the killing of Jean Jacques Ola Bebe, a radio host who was also calling for justice.
