2012-03-31 Turffontein - race 8 [02:04]
Slumdogmillionaire wins the GRADE-1 SA Classic.. The main event of the 12 race program, the SA Classic Grade-1 for 3 year olds over 1800m, saw Team G represented with Slumdogmillionaire and Brooks Club, both drawn out wide at 11 and 12. There were no slip ups at the jump this time for Slumdog and he bounced straight out to take lead and set his own pace throughout. Brooks Club didn't fare as well and he ended up widest of all, mid-field with nowhere to go. Turning for home Slumdogmillionaire once again took a bit of time to get going and halfway down the straight he was under pressure as race favourite Gimmethegreenlight slipped past him. The changeover was short-lived however as Slumdogmillionaire kicked into finishing gear to retake the lead and stay there. Pomodoro flew up at the death and did everything but tag Slumdogmillionaire on the line in a decision that had to go to the judges.. ..and SLUMDOGMILLIONAIRE! by a nose, jubilation for the connections and followers and another Grade-1 under the belt for Team G Racing. Slumdogmillionaire earned his owners Messers J. Sarkis and A. Greyvensteyn a cool R1.25million for the win, recouping his purchase price and surging into profit with a massive future still to come. Brooks Club who raced widest throughout, was unable to produce his trademark acceleration down the straight and finished 3 lengths back in 5th position. His turn will come.

Wholelottashakin 2nd - The Sweetest Chant, GSP 1.22.12 [04:28]
Wholelottashakin ran a very gritty 2nd in the $100000 Sweetest Chant Stake at Gulfstream Park yesterday, Sunday, the 22nd of January. She broke well this time and was in good position early. She was nicely relaxed and unhurried going down the backstretch, a very good sign as it shows maturity in just her 4th start. Alex 'The Great' had her tucked in on the rail and saved ground all the way. At the ½ mile pole she started to get in gear and took the inside route. At the top of the stretch she kicked into gear and closed on the rest of the field but the favorite came at us from the outside with loads of forward momentum. Although Shakin matched strides at the onset of the duel, the winner prevailed but not by much. We are very proud of our filly!

Devin Street Stock Turkey Trot NFS 11-25/26-11 [13:35]
Devin did a great job...Everytime he went to pass a caution would come out. There in the end he got passed a couple and his transmission jumped out of gear. Good Race though...
