CHAMPION'S DAY
TURFFONTEIN, 1 MAY 2010

Despite the grey skies and soggy conditions that Johannesburg has been experiencing, Saturday’s Champions Day still brought us some sunshine!

Vuma was delighted and proud to shout home Sean Tarry’s Regal Ransom in the Grade 1 Champions Challenge as well as Captain’s Gal in the Camellia Stakes.

Earlier that day the Fillies Nursery Stakes was won by Louis Goosen with a daughter of resident Summerhill sire Way West, Waywest Goddess.

To end the graded races on a Vuma and Summerhill note, the Dominic Zaki-trained Winning Leap (Labeeb x Summersault) showed his stamina by winning the 3200m Gold Bowl.

Congratulations are also due to Mike de Kock who celebrated his 2000th career win by winning the SA Derby with Irish Flame.

Congratulations to all the connections – we love to feed your Champions!

A BLOOMING BATTLE

It was a Battle Royale at the finish of the Grade 3 Jacaranda Handicap, at Turffontein, with Queen's Bay and Kiribati fighting it out to the line. Queens Bay got up to win under Anthony Delpech for the Michael Azzie team and owner, Mrs Oppenheimer. From a Vuma perspective, it was once again a case of being there when it mattered most and with the first four past the post, one has to agree – it is the Choice of Champions!

Position	Number	Horse	Trainer
1ST	3	QUEEN'S BAY	Michael Azzie
2ND	2	KIRIBATI	Sean Tarry
3RD	6	CANDY SINGER	Mike de Kock
4TH	4	NIGHT RITUAL	Sean Tarry

Congratulations to all the connections – we love to feed your Champions.

SANSUI SUMMER CUP DAY 2009

For some years now, Vuma-fed horses have dominated virtually every major meeting at the Spring and Autumn festivals on the Highveld, as well as the KZN winter season. Saturday was no exception, where the ones that mattered most were the Sansui Summer Cup (Gr.1), the Vodacom Dingaans (Gr.2) and the GommaGomma Fillies Mile (Gr.3). Vuma was there when it mattered most, the murderous last 400 metres of the Turffontein straight.
