The ruling ante-post favourite Belgarion fared little better, drawing 17. By contrast, well-fancied Rainbow Bridge – runner-up to Do It Again in 2019 – will start from No 2 stall. There were no surprises when the 18-horse field, plus two reserves, for an unprecedented, “behind-closed-doors” renewal of the event was unveiled in a televised ceremony on Tuesday.
The meeting will get extensive television coverage on DStv and SABC, with various “virtual” events – such as fashion competitions – staged to coincide with the TV broadcasts. Snaith is the man packing the most heat in the race, with five runners, including three of the top six in the betting: Belgarion, Do It Again and Bunker Hunt. The Cape Town conditioner’s other contenders are a pair of females, Miyabi Gold and Silvano’s Pride.
When perusing the July field, it is important to remember that KwaZulu-Natal operator Gold Circle now numbers horses according to their draws – not according to weights, as has been standard practice for decades.
