PINKY DOOM 3 PLUS

It’s quite possible the Pettigrew stable could take three legs of the Pick Six as Gilded Butterfly (fourth race) and Whafeef (seventh) have sound chances in their races. Nebraas is another runner who has earned over R1m and it’s interesting that Sean Tarry has booked Piere Strydom for last season’s Gold Bowl winner. Second Base has done his connections proud with seven wins and earnings topping R1.2m, but Gavin Lerena will have to overcome the widest draw. Divine Odyssey, for example, is eight years old and perhaps his stablemate, Second Base, will emerge as the main danger to Pettigrew’s runner. Last season, she won the Ipi Tombe Stakes, beating Perfect Witness (slightly disappointing last weekend).īookies have priced Bold Fortune up at 3-1, which appears generous as most of her opponents have plenty of miles on the clock. The paddock value for this daughter of Flower Alley is mega. She was bought from Narrow Creek Stud for R45,000 and has earned nearly R600,000. To say Bold Fortune is a bargain buy is putting it mildly.

The latest big plus on his CV is his five-year-old mare, Bold Fortune, who will bid to notch the seventh win of her career when she takes on nine rivals in the fifth race at Turffontein on Saturday. One gets the impression Pettigrew would rather deal with loyal patrons than racing managers, which may be a reason he doesn’t train for the sport’s big owners or breeders. The highveld trainer has always done it his way and been rewarded with considerable success over the years. Frank Sinatra’s famous song My Way is apt when looking at the career of Stuart Pettigrew.
