Wishing all our friends, owners and supporters and a Happy, Healthy & Prosperous New year 🎆🎉
We have 5 runners today at Greyville ...
RACE 1 - DEAD OF NIGHT (6) is coming along quietly and will probably need the outing.
RACE 2 - EAGLESTONE (1) is a big horse who is jumping up to a mile. He might need one more to be cherry ripe and should probably go into quartets.
RACE 2 - OFF THE CHARTS (4) is doing well and must go into all trifectas.
RACE 3 - THE GHOST (6) faces a tough field but has a galloping weight. She has been back to the pens and is ready to run very well again.
RACE 6 - ATTABOY (4) returns after a long break. He seems to be over the niggles and is working well. Hoping for a decent run.

We have just the one runner today at Scottsville today.
SUNKA WAKAN runs in the third with the claiming apprentice. We have put blinkers on her and this is the type of field where she can run into the money again.

We have only two runners today at Greyville.
RACE 1 - TOP GUN (8) did not like the poly at all. Back on the turf today and sporting blinkers and, should run very well.
RACE 4 - Mr FIXIT (3) who stays well and is being fitted with a ring bit. Back at the track where he won his debut by a distance.

We have two runners today at Greyville :-
RACE 2 - FORTUNE HUNTER (3) -We believe he had a virus for his last run and now seems to be over it. His blood pictures are good and being out of a Saddlers Wells mare should enjoy this extra ground. We are hoping for major improvement on his last run.
RACE 7 - TREAD SWIFTLY (3) Many riders have told me to run him over this 1400m trip and he seems very well at the moment. From a good draw we are expecting another good effort.

Three runners today at Scottsville.
Race 3 - Eagle Stone has his debut and he is a very big horse who should need the outing and experience.
Race 6 - Beach Palace is in a small field carrying a light weight. He is doing well and if this race does not come too soon for him we are expecting a good run.
Race 8 - Immah is a lovely horse who is still learning his trade but will be very competitive . Expecting a big run

DAPPER under a great ride by Jacey Botes wins in a close finish to give the stable a double for the day. Congratulations to all the owners and in particularly Ashley Rushton who had a double on the day with The Ghost. Well done to the team at Lafferty Racing and many thanks to our sponsors for their support and to Candiese Lenferna for the great photos.

We have six runners at Hollywoodbets Greyville tonight ...
RACE 1 - GOOD LIVING (7) is going back over 1400 again. Was keen over the trip last time but stayed on for second. Must have a shout again.
RACE 2 - THE GHOST (1) runs back over a mile and is well drawn at 1. The apprentice claims and she is doing well at home.
RACE 3 - ONE ARMED BANDIT (2) is trying the 1800 for the first time and is doing very well at home. His form is good and he is by the Met winner One World so should see out the trip. The horse to beat.
RACE 4 - VIEW OF THE WORLD (3) is a good young staying horse and is doing well. Loves this type of distance and is bound to be concerned.
RACE 6 - TREAD SWIFTLY (6) is a happy older horse who gets a claiming rider today and is never far off. Hoping to see him in the quartet.
RACE 7 - DAPPER (10) Runs from a deep draw over 1400. Has the claiming rider assisting and with 48.5 on his back could trouble them.

10/12/2024

We have two runners today at Greyville ..
RACE 2 - Sunka Wakan. She is doing better and I think she will be in the money. Handy galloping weight.
RACE 4 - Top Gun. Has his debut on the poly and stretches out to a mile. He was severely cut into last time and it compromised him. If he handles the surface will run very well.

08/12/2024

We have two runners at HollywoodBets Scottsville today.
RACE 4 - MR FIXIT (3) is an improving three year old. He is a very well bred horse who, on pedigree, should love this step up to 2400m. He is doing well at home and should be one of the leading contenders.
RACE 6 - BEACH PALACE (9) is doing well at home and has dropped down the merit ratings which should make him very competitive. Include in all the exotics.

01/12/2024

Only one runner today at Hollywoodbets Scottsville.
Race 2 - The Iron Duke (7) is having his second outing and going over 1400. The rain has affected his prep but he is going the right way. May get tired but is improving.

28/11/2024

MR FIXIT wins comfortably with Calvin Habib at HollywoodBets Greyville. Congratulations to owners Erich Buhr, Rob Ellis and Pam Kollnick and well done to the team at Lafferty Racing.
Thanks to for their sponsorship and to Candiese Lenferna for the photos.

27/11/2024

Runners today at HollywoodBets Greyville.
Race 1 - One Armed Bandit (8) - First run as a gelding and his work has been excellent. Hard horse to best.
Race 2 - Good Living (10) is doing well and must be concerned. Include in everything.
Race 8 - Mr Fixit (1) is out of a Saddlers Wells mare and this distance should be right up his alley. Should run very well.
Race 8 - Off The Charts (9) has a galloping weight and the pedigree suggests he will prefer this trip. Could end up in the money.

24/11/2024

Racing today is at HollywoodBets Scottsville where we have 5 runners.
RACE 2 - SUNKA WAKAN (8) is doing well at home and has a claiming apprentice riding. She has a chance of finishing in the quartet.
RACE 4 - NEW FRONTIER (2) it was too far last time out and will be effective over the mile. Plaatjies takes 2.5kg off from a good draw and he can be concerned.
RACE 6 - DAPPER (4) is doing well and progressing all the while after the gelding. The claim will help and he can run into the money.
RACE 6 - ONE SCOTCH (5) is a lovely strapping horse who we have not got to the bottom yet. He has a big weight and is our best runner on the day.
RACE 8 - THE GHOST (8) has been freshened up and returns to the course and distance where she broke her maiden. Even though she will eventually need further she will be competitive.

17/11/2024

Racing is at HollywoodBets Greyville today where we have two runners.
RACE 1 - TOP GUN is doing well as a gelding and has a big chance of winning. One or two to beat but must be a leading light with his form.
RACE 2 - GOT THE FEVER is a beautiful filly who has the form to win the race. In my book she is the horse to beat. Both our horses are ridden by top rider Calvin Habib.

13/11/2024

Racing is at HollywoodBets Greyville today on the Poly where we have two runners.
RACE 3 - FORTUNE HUNTER (8) returns from gelding and might just need this comeback. He debuted well on the poly when he was fourth. A decent horse in the making.
RACE 7 - TREAD SWIFTLY (11) goes back on the poly where he has done well before. The draw is not in his favour so he will need a little luck. He is in good order at home.
