Racecourse Entry

and that the Managers will do their best to communicate to members the
available and recommended options within the rules of the
racecourse.

Horses for 2008
NINETY DEGREES
6 year old bay gelding by SHALFORD ex WEST WEST NINETY
DEGREES is a Straight Bat Racing favourite who puts in a tremendous effort. He
is the mainstay in the winter when the ground has sufficient juice in it for
his liking. He is twice a winner and has placed several times whilst generating
great affection for him. By SHALFORD, a top class son of THATCHING and himself
sire of a South African champion 2 year old, our fellow is out of a Gr.2 placed
winning granddaughter of SADLERS WELLS and daughter of South African Gr.1
winner BOLD WEST. His half brother by JET MASTER was purchased by the Managers
at the National Yearling Sales and will be assessed over the next six months or
so before moving forward with him. |
CARABOSSE
2
year old bay filly by CASEY TIBBS ex YASNAYA This filly breezed
well at a Ready to Run Sale and has spent a little time chilling after the sale
and growing some more. Having not yet started her career, she could be
anything and has all the right credentials.
A daughter of a
Listed placed winning daughter of good broodmare sire COASTAL, CARABOSSE has
three winning siblings and a yearling half brother by JET MASTER that realised
R 550,000. Her good dam is half sister to Gr.2 winning Gr.1 placed MUSCOVY and
the brilliantly fast VISTULA. The CASEY TIBBS mating is a good one and the
filly is going nicely in early training. |

horsemanship, hard work, dedication, flair and detailed knowledge of the racing

equine excellence and achievement behind him that includes victories in no less
than 20 Gr.1 races. The J&B Met, Cape Guineas (x3), Gold Cup, Durban

Johannesburg for the right races. Training with Vaughan can be described as a
continuous pleasure, through thick and through thin, interspersed by moments of
ecstasy calling for the most joyous of celebrations. As he puts it himself
Nothing gives me greater joy than giving that euphoric feeling of winning
to my owners. Amen to that
