Scottsville Race 1 - Pound Bloodstock Maiden Plate
COWBOY COUNTRY (2) is a son of The United States from the Tony Rivalland stable with Jabu Jacobs in the saddle. He is related to five-time winner Pistol Pete. Jumps from an inside gate and if not in need of the run should start his career on a positive note. BOMBARDIER BOY (6) is a son of Heavenly Blue from the Mike and Mathew de Kock stable and Sean Veale is booked to ride. His mother, Miracle Flight was a three-time winner from 800m to 1000m. If not too green in the running he should be figuring in the finish. BLAZING FURY (4) hails from the Louis Goosen stable and he is a son of Vercingetorix. He is related to multiple winners including Drive By and Donquerari. Jason Gates does duty and if not too green should produce a positive showing. PRINCE OF TROY (3) is a son of Act Of War from the Alyson Wright yard with Rachel Venniker taking 1.5kgs off his back. If not in need of the run, he can place. Include in exotic bets.

Three-year-old colt who is first starter by The United States out of Oklahoma Sky. Purchased for ZAR R 800,000 (Bloodstock South Africa 2024 Cape Yearling Sale). Looks sure to be above average.

Three-year-old gelding by Vercingetorix out of Spitfire Lady having his first start. Nice profile and a bold showing is on the cards.
