Bass Racing made a long overdue visit to the beach

Bass Racing made a long overdue visit to the beach this morning. Charles Dickens, Marina, African Rain, and Firealley were among some of the horses in the surf at Melkbosstrand Beach.

“Charles Dickens- What a horse “! Is what reso

“Charles Dickens- What a horse “! Is what resonated around a 15 000 plus packed Hollywoodbets Kenilworth yesterday, and what a horse he is. After just 6 runs, he has cemented himself as a once in a lifetime horse, and for a training family, we couldn’t be more blessed to have this opportunity. They say the really good horses find you, and in this case, we are really the lucky ones. The timing is also impeccable - racing has uped its game in a huge way, and it was humbling to see him celebrated the way he was yesterday. Gaynor and her team, what a massive achievement in owning and breeding such an amazing specimen. Congratulations to all of you.

Aldo deserves a lot of accolades for this win. He has played a huge part with Candice in getting him here. Together, they have navigated the pressure that comes with him tremendously. We are super proud of Candice!

This darn race has eluded Bass Racing for almost 50 years, so we are glad to finally put it to bed. As Mike quipped , “It’s been a long wait ,but to win with a horse like this, the way he did, in a strange way it was almost worth it ”

There were lots of comparisons thrown around, but for us we have a long and important job to do, so no comparisons from our side, to us, he is simply what we have always called him, Goosbumps!

Let’s all enjoy the ride.

Charlie's Perfect Prep Charles Dickens delivered

Charlie's Perfect Prep

Charles Dickens delivered another remarkable, jaw dropping performance in his final Hollywoodbets Cape Guineas prep against some hard-knocking older opponents today. He had a stiff task at the weights this time, but it was soon very clear that he was in a league of his own half way up the straight as he moved through his gears under Domeyer’s hands, he made light weight of his rivals to win by 3.5 lengths . Charles Dickens leaves the course, delivering an impressionable mark on his followers and leaves the battlefield unbeaten from his 5 career starts to date. His stiffest test comes in 3 weeks from now on December 17th. The stage is set for a mouth watering clash with Cousin Casey in what looks to be one of the thr most exciting races of the season.

Firealley and Marina will to return to the race tracks soon.

Marina and Firealley are back in full work after a well deserved break from their KZN campaigns. Grade 2 Peninsula victor, Firealley will be making his summer debut in the next couple of weeks.

Grade 2 Gold Bracelet winner Marina will make her seasonal debut in the Summer Bowl Non-Black Type race over a mile on the 19th of November.

We are looking forward to the season ahead with our chestnut warriors.

The Bass Racing team paid a special visit to Cloud

The Bass Racing team paid a special visit to Clouds Unfold and her first foal, an adorable filly by Trippi. Needless to say Clouds still loves the attention and the camera.

‘Electric Charles’ looks super special as Robi

‘Electric Charles’ looks super special as Robinson wraps up 5 winners in the Hollywoodbets Kenilworth opener.

Candice Robinson's fifer included 2 winners owned and bred by Gaynor Rupert’s Drakenstein Stud. One of those being Golden Hostess taking the inaugural Non Black-Type Prestige Plate.

‘I didn’t expect such a fabulous day’ said Robsinson. “Charles Dickens is a dream horse to train, he has every attribute of a superstar colt, so it comes with a lot of pressure, but that’s why we train! To see him dominate in such sintilating style like he did today was a goosebump moment for me, but more so a relief. We are only discovering what he is capable of!
We have high hopes for this Trippi colt heading into the season, I don’t think I have seen such a talented 3 year old in our yard, that has all the solid attributes he does. We have a really special horse on our hands”

“We will probably give him one more run up the straight before he heads into the Hollywoodbets Cape Guineas Gr1”

We were super impressed with Resnonate who delivered a hurricane finish up the outside in the Listed South Easter Sprint scoring a double for the Fullard and Drew ownership after Defining Moment scored earlier on for the partnership.

Sun Dazed rounded off a cracking day for the stable with a powerful ‘off the pace’ run from last to secure the fiver for the Bass stable.

It’s still early days, but I’m super proud of my horses and team we have assembled this year and couldn’t be more thankful to start off with a red letter day like this at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth” said Candice.

Marina’s Grade 2 rounds off a top season for Bass Robinson.

MARINA bounced back to her best today when stamping her authority in the Grade 2 Gold Bracelet at Hollywoodbets Greyville for her connections. Despite a sedate pace upfront, Domeyer produced a cracking run to deliver her up the outside when it mattered most to win going away.

This win was the 111th win for Robinson who has produced her best season to to date since taking over the reigns from her father.

A big thanks to our entire team and all our patrons.
