Cape horse joins Guineas field

Loadshedder was the only runner added to the nominations for the Grade 2 Betting World Gauteng Guineas when supplementary entries for the R1- million race closed yesterday.

The Guineas, to be run over 1600m on the Turffontein Stand­side track on Saturday 4 March, is the first leg of the R2-million SA Triple Crown.

Loadshedder, owned by Sabine Plattner and trained by Ande Nel, has so far raced only raced in the Western Cape. His first three rac­es were over 1200m and the son of Gimmethegreenlight looked to have promise when placing in two of the three. He improved when tried over 1600m, finishing a 1.75-length third to Verdier in his first attempt and then winning his next two starts. He has drawn well at No 3.

Declarations close at 11am on Thursday and the fields will be announced at a time yet to be pub­licised on Tellytrack.

There were no supplementary entries for the R500,000 Wilger­bosdrift Gauteng Fillies Guineas (Grade 2), which is the first leg of the R1-million Wilgerbosdrift SA Triple Tiara.
