WHAT A ‘DAY’ On a day when not much was expec

WHAT A ‘DAY’
On a day when not much was expected from the stable from an odds perspective, Candice Robinson was always quietly confident of her chances purely from the well being of the horses point of view going into Sun Met week .
It’s never easy to win a single race on any Met day, but to come away with 3 winners, 2 Grade 1’s and 3 top dollar earners in the two CTS million races , it turned into a red letter day for the stable.
It was a gritty 2019, but no one works harder than Candice herself, we believe in her, and we have the very best back up in the industry with Mellisa Arnold as her right hand lady . Together these two woman make a a brilliant team. We are very proud of all our grooms staff and most importantly we are very fortunate enough so have the most supportive and passionate owners who believed in us through our 50 years of training.
We are one lucky family indeed.
A special mention to Marsh Shirtliff, Braam Van Huyssteen, Phillip Bamford Brian and Kathy Finch and the Rupert family on an amazing and memorable day and a huge congrats on their Grade 1 winners!
I would also like to pay a special tribute to Aldo Domeyer, who showed just how classy and what an amazing horseman he has become. His tactical and calm brilliance yesterday was lapped up by his fans and horse lovers alike, it’s been a privilege to watch him grow from apprentice at Bass Racing to a world stage Jockey who can hold his own with the best in the world.
What A Winter is a sensational sire! We have been shouting from the roof tops from the very start as to how special we think he is , we just can’t get enough of them and I have no doubt he is destined for greatness in the stallion ranks of South African history.
Lastly but certainly not least, to the legendary pilot of the Bass ship , Mike Bass who celebrated his 75th birthday today. The man who chose and trained What A Winter himself to 4 grade 1 - races , it was a real pleasure an a privilege to return the favour in training Russet Air whom he he part owns to grade 1 glory.
You are legend dad !
Mark Bass

MAJESTIC MOZART (WSB Price 66/1): The maiden milli

MAJESTIC MOZART (WSB Price 66/1): The maiden millionaire, jumps from the widest gate and looks firmly held by his compatriots at weight for age terms. The gorgeous looking son of Dynasty has only finished out of the money twice from his 15 starts. His close up 3rd in the Peninsula gave us the confidence to take our chances in the big one, and although it will be tough from the draw for him, he will relish the trip and if he can run into the quartet we will be delighted.

MORE MAGIC (WSB price 100/1): The consistent son of Captain Al, suffered an injury as a young colt, but has come back stronger than ever and his prior performances on track against some of his rivals in this race have given us the belief that he could run a cracker for his owners Jagassar Racing. If he stays the distance well enough, it wouldn’t surprise us if he runs a drum here as we know just what he is capable of.

Bring on the @officialsunmet!
