The best horses in South Africa will be seen in action at Kenilworth in Cape Town on Saturday with the running of four Grade 1 races headed by The Met over 2000m.

Trainer Brett Crawford is having the winter of his life and the dream may not have ended at Greyville on Saturday when Captain America powered home in the R1m, Grade 1 WFA Rising Sun Gold Challenge (1600m).

Australian bred gelding Whisky Baron secured his first Grade One victory in the Sun Met at Kenilworth on Saturday to provide his Arrowfield Stud-based sire Manhattan Rain with his first G1 winner.

It all points to Legal Eagle for the R5m, Grade 1 Sun Met (2000m) at Kenilworth on Saturday. The form book, the handicappers and the bookmakers say the 2-1 favourite is the best horse in the race, he won the Queen’s Plate convincingly and his stable is on fire.

South Africa is all set for probably the greatest racing day in its history on January 28 at Kenilworth and the lucrative card is headed by the R5m, Grade 1 Sun Met (2000m).
