NINE WINS IN A WEEK FOR WILLIAM LONGSWORD! He continued his impressive streak with a pair of winners at Greyville. With 2 winners on Monday, 4 winners on Thursday, 1 on Friday and 2 on Sunday, William Longsword’s total tally for the week reached an impressive 9 wins!

We have #loadshed 16,151 GWh since De Ruyter announced his resignation in Dec 2022. The total energy shed during De Ruyters total tenure as CEO of ESKOM before this was 11,000 GWh

4Racing This is the 4th William Longsword winner today - we are immensely proud of this achievement!

Bruce Slade Newgate On the same page here Bruce. It doesn’t mean they’re all going to be successful, but I think that colts that lead in high class races have to be very biomechanically/cardiovascularly efficient to do so. Backmarkers are generally inefficient. Those biomechanics are heritable.

I was reacquainted with IN THE CONGO 🇨🇬 Newgate today. His hind leg is copy book ‘fast’ & fully explains his⚡️ gate speed

It is also a hind leg the commercial market pays for. He hails from a big selling (+fast) family (as we saw at Easter) & his foals will be the same 🦾

⚡️ But here comes 𝐏𝐀𝐃𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐓𝐎𝐍 🤩

I am staying because of legacy, trophies and because it’s the right thing to do.

Wait, what? We got PIF money now?

I should be rewarded financially for my loyalty.
