Deon can captivate fans again in St Leger Classic in Ngong

A lengthy final seasonal Classic of 2,800m, has an earthy crop of three-year-olds in dispute for the Royal Artillery St. Leger Cup.

Most consistent have been Bedford, Deon, and, Ten Eighty. The others blow different shades of air, so, we can't make a judgement on their part.

Seeing Saint Mortiz again is an eternal pleasure. He runs in small doses but always leaves Yeti footprints. Taking on a Coffee Break in the

Civil Service George Drew Challenge Series, positive vibes are always in his court. Importantly, the Saint better not allow Coffee Break to hang loose, or tides will ebb south ways.

Ex-Nondies scrum half-player, Paul Keir rides Grand Surabi in the Kenya Police Cup, while Cindy Voorspuy fittingly has Cindy as her steed of choice. Well done you two, for keeping the amateurs trending.
