MAJMU, Louis The King and Legislate head a star-studded entry for the R2.5 millionGrade 1 J&B Met over 2000m at Kenilworth on Saturday 31 January.

Louis The King, winner of last season’s Triple Crown and of last Saturday’s Gauteng Sansui Summer Cup, is one of four entries for Geoff Woodruff and the five-time champion trainer said after the victory: “I am very keen to take on Legislate and Futura in their own backyard.”

Legislate, winner of the Vodacom Durban July, Daily News and Investec Cape Derby, broke the Kenilworth 1600m record on his return in last month’s Lanzerac Le General Green Point Stakes. He runs next in the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate and is due to go to England via Mauritius after the Met.

Champions Cup winner and Durban July third Futura is one of three entries for Brett Crawford, who sent out Angus to win the Met in 2003. He has also entered last year’s Lanzerac Ready To Run winner Captain America and De Kock, who won the Selangor Cup in November last year.

Mike de Kock’s decision to enter Majmu is surely a measure of his confidence in this winner of Saturday’s Gr 1 Avontuur Estate Cape Fillies Guineas.

There is a first supplementary entry stage on 17 December and a second one on 12 January.

It is a condition of acceptance that all runners take part in public gallops at Kenilworth on 22 January although a horse “stabled out of province” on the day of the gallops may be allowed to work at a race meeting elsewhere before that date provided the gallop is filmed for screening on 22 January.
