35 Years On – Mike And The Mountain


It has been 35 years since Mike Bass saddled his first Cape Fillies Guineas victor when the extraordinary Sweet Chestnut darted home under racer Gavin Howes for proprietor Georgina Rogers. 

A great deal of water has streamed under the scaffold in the resulting years and Bass saddled Sport's Chestnut in 2001 and the global entertainer Sun Classique to win in 2005. 

2015 has been an attempting year for the surely understood Cape hustling family and another triumph in the Gr1 exemplary couldn't have come at a superior time – with their Silvano filly Silver Mountain further settling in her status as one of the best 3yo fillies in the nation. 

She just cleared aside her resistance to walk to triumph in the R1 million Gr1 Cape Fillies Guineas at Kenilworth on Saturday. 

This prestigious exemplary is a characteristic indicator of the best of any era and the race's honor move in the course of recent years gloats a portion of the best more attractive sex gallopers to elegance our turf. 

The way of Silver Mountain's triumph on Saturday recommends that she has bounty to come yet and her imaginable conflict with the double Gr1 winning male Seventh simple inside the CTS Million money in January resolve offer the earth shattering dollar dream race, included driving force – not that it needs much buildup at current rates of trade. 

After her effortless triumph from a wide attract the Gr2 Choice Carriers Championship right on time in November, Silver Mountain has ventured into the spotlight and has turned into the talking steed of Cape hustling – and did her expanding notoriety glad on Saturday. 

After the untouchable Ocean's Swell had set the jog into the straight, Aldo Domeyer calculated Silver Mountain to the center of the track at the 400m marker and she essentially stretched to draw clear from her field. 

Silver Mountain fled from her field to beat the Glen Kotzen prepared Our Destiny by 5 lengths in a period of 98,72 secs. 

Winning racer Aldo Domeyer was speechless and said that he had not been resting soundly in the development. 

"Enormous stallions are huge weight. What's more, today they wouldn't permit us in so it was harder. Be that as it may, she settles like an expert and when I asked her she offered it to me. She has a magnificent turn of foot and is truly something extraordinary. I must thank the entire group – their diligent work has the effect," he said. 

The victor's stablemate Taffety Tart likewise imitated her standard late dash complete again to snatch a merited third. 

Paddy Kruyer's keen Biarritz filly Anglet demonstrated her gratefulness for the mid year course and remained focused the path up the straight to run a not too bad fourth. 

Justin Snaith's already unbeaten filly Bela-Bela was some path back ahead of schedule and ran a dull race to keep focused fifth and 6,20 lengths back. 

She shaded Mike De Kock's Gauteng thief Noor – additionally unbeaten in her initial two – who likewise neglected to flame on her Cape debut. 

It was a forgettable race for racer Gareth Wright, whose mount Valediction cut heels plus unseat him at approximately the 100m marker. Wright fell off unscathed and figured out how to satisfy his engagements. 

There was to be little fortunes for Valediction's proprietor Hassen Adams – his other runner Ocean's Swell set the pace yet intensified to complete an inaccessible last. 

A little girl of Silvano, Silver Mountain is out of the six-time winning Fusaichi Pegasus female horse, Our Table Mountain, the victor of the 2007 Listed Olympic Duel Stakes and a stepsister to the steady sire Artie Schiller (El Prado {Ire}). 

The descendants of Our Table Mountain have pulled in a lot of enthusiasm for the business ring – and on the preparation tracks, where they have indicated demeanor issues – however Silver Mountain has demonstrated nothing of that quality. 

The Highlands reared filly was bought by Maine Chance Farms for R1,5 million at the mantle leader Yearling auction tome 2. 

She has now won 4 from 5 with 1 put and took her stakes income to R880 500. 

Which, with her entire vocation in front of her, is beginning to make her look an extraordinary purchase at the cost – regardless of the proprietor's Racing Manager Justin Vermaak advising us that she wasn't a cheapie.
