Al Sahem aimed at G1 Daily News 2000
Al Sahem, an impressive winner of the Grade 1 SA Derby over 2450m at Turffontein, is among the entries for the R2-million Daily News 2000 at Greyville on Saturday.
Trainer Sean Tarry came away with two Grade 1 wins at Scottsville on Saturday and with their fine form continuing at Turffontein yesterday the yard will feel fairly confident of pulling off another Grade 1 victory in this event over 2000m.
The race will bring Al Sahem up against two of the Western Cape’s top runners – Investec Cape Derby winner Edict Of Nantes and Horizon.
Smiling Blue Eyes, winner of the Grade 2 Wilgerbosdrift Gauteng Fillies Guineas, is among the entries for the R1-milion Woolavington 2000 for three-year-old fillies. She is set to meet SA Fillies Classic winner Orchid Island from the Mike de Kock yard and SA Oaks champion Wind Chill.
Tarry has also nominated Safe Harbour, who finished second in the Fillies Classic.
