HERE are the big-race fields for Guineas Day at Turffontein, Saturday 28 February.
The Grade 2 Guineas is the first leg of the SA Triple Crown and one of these 16 runners will be looking to emulate the feat of Louis The King last year and collect the R2-million bonus. To do that they will also have to win the Grade 1 SA Classic over 1800m and the Grade 1 SA Derby over 2450m.
As far as the fillies are concerned, other than the Grade 2 Wilgerbosdrift Gauteng Fillies Guineas, they will be looking to win the Grade 1 Wilgerbosdrift SA Fillies Classic and the Grade 1 Wilgerbosdrift SA Oaks to claim the R1-million bonus offered for winning the Wilgerbosdrift Triple Tiara.
Mike de Kock saddles Anjaal and Mutamakkin (headline photo) and, perhaps with stable jockey Anthony Delpech in the irons, the latter could be the pick of the pair.
The Fillies Guineas is headed up by Same Jurisdiction from the Duncan Howells stable, This KwaZulu-Natal-based runner has won her last four starts, including the Grade 1 Thekwini Stakes over 1600m at Greyville.
