The three-year-old Australian-bred colt Ertijaal, sensational winner of the Investec Cape Derby in the Cape and favourite to win the Grade 1 SA Derby at Turffontein tomorrow, has been supplemented into the entries for the R600 000, Grade 2 KRA Guineas at Greyville On Saturday, May 2.

Trained by Mike de Kock, who will be in America where he runs his Dubai Derby winner Mubtaahij in the famous Kentucky Derby, the Hard Spun colt disappointed in the SA Classic after being bumped but he has shown his class and will face the likes of Act Of War and Harry’s Son in the KRA Guineas if they stand their ground.

The KRA Guineas will be one of the major events at the Independent On Saturday raceday with the Grade 3 KRA Fillies Guineas and the Independent on Saturday Drill Hall Stakes setting up a fantastic day to get Champions Season 2015 underway.

The Independent On Saturday Drill Hall Stakes will hopefully see the Vodacom Durban July winner Legislate clash with the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate and J&B Met winner Futura over the 1 400m trip. This famous race with a history dating back decades, is traditionally the warm-up event of the season for the visiting horses preparing for the bigger races coming up and is always an exciting event.
