HAVOC REIGNS IN SWAPS Chief Havoc (Giant=s Causeway) looked to have allthe speed in a four-horse renewal of the GII Swaps S.Thursday at Betfair Hollywood Park and the 2-5 favoriteduly delivered an easy wire-to-wire victory. Thechestnut colt, coming off a decisive allowance win overthe same track and nine-furlong trip May 30, brokesharply and went right tothe lead where he wastracked by an eager DiceFlavor (Scat Daddy)through moderatefractions. Java=s War (WarPass) surged up betweenrivals at the top of the laneand looked likely to makea race of it, but the GIToyota Blue Grass winnerflattened out in upperstretch, leaving Tiz a Minister (Ministers Wild Cat) tochase the favorite down the lane. Chief Havocshrugged off that foe and pulled clear to win by 2 1/2lengths. AIt was a lot harder than I thought it would be,@admitted winning trainer Peter Miller. AI thought we=d befive in front. Next thing I know [Dice Flavor] is rightinside us. [Rafael Bejarano] let him out a notch and thenthey all took runs at him. When I saw :48.65 and1:13.19, I felt pretty confident, but it was still a horserace at the quarter pole.@ Cont. p3

As for what is next for his speedy charge, Perkinsadded, AThe [Aug. 24 GI] King=s Bishop is a little fartherat 7/8ths, but we=re considering the [July 28 GIII]Amsterdam [at 6 1/2 furlongs] up at Saratoga, or he=salso eligible for the two other than Jersey-bred.@ Rainbow Heir debuted with a front-running 5 3/4-length win at Laurel Feb. 1.

WET WEATHER FOR THURSDAY TRACKWORKEditorial and photos by Liesl King Two days before South Africa's premier race, the G1 Vodacom Durban July, most trackwatchers wereeagerly awaiting that telling final piece of work. Thehorses were ready; it was the culmination of a longcampaign, planned and executed with military precisionby their respective trainers... then the weatherintervened. After weeks of sunshine, with the oddcloud appearing, Thursday morning dawned grey andwet. A cold front had hit the coast overnight and byearly morning, the downpour was steady and constant. Clairwood Racecourse, where most of the favoritesfor the Vodacom Durban July are stabled, wasshrouded in a grey mist as the rain came down in asteady drizzle, with visibility nonexistent. To add to thegeneral dark mood, the going on two of the trainingtracks were found to be too heavy, leaving the beachsand track as the only option for any serious work. First out was the Vaughan Marshall-trained pair ofTribal Dance (SAf) (Tiger Dance) and Hill Fifty Four(SAf) (Captain Al {SAf}). Both horses jumped from the600-meter mark and sprinted up smartly in their finalfast work. Marshall was very pleased with both andwhile he would have liked the talented Hill Fifty Four tocarry less than his allotted 59.5 kgs, he is not overlyconcerned with the weight. Also out in the drizzle and the murky darkness wasDo You Remember (SAf) (Silvano {Ger}), the only filly inthe race. She did a steady half pace, mainly stretching
her legs. Trainer Geoff Woodruffconfirmed that he was just keepingher ticking over, being careful notto ask too much of the diminutivefilly so close to raceday. Next up, the multiple Group 1-winning 3-year-old Capetown Noir(SAf) (Western Winter), made hisappearance under regular race riderKarl Neisius. The near-black coltlooked extremely fit and muscled.Jumping from the 600-meter mark,he sprinted up smartly and washard-held when he reluctantly eased
up at the end of the gallops. This final workout wascertainly very impressive and Neisius and trainer DeanKannemeyer had good reason to smile. Another sterling performance was delivered by theSean Tarry-trained Whiteline Fever (SAf) (RightApproach {GB}). Under the guidance of race riderBernard Fayd'Herbe, Whiteline Fever was a bundle ofrippling muscles and Fayd' Herbe had the gelding undera tight hold before proceeding smoothly through thegears.
Race favorite and 2012 Vodacom Durban July winnerPomodoro (SAf) (Jet Master {SAf}) also churned up thebeach sand. Going a steady half pace over the final 600meters, the colt appeared to be race ready, but seemedto have dropped some weight in the last couple ofweeks, which is concerning. Two of the main challengers, the Justin Snaith duo ofRun for It (SAf) (Dynasty {SAf}) and Jet Explorer (SAf)(Jet Master {SAf}), came outjust as the rain finally started toclear. Jet Explorer, partneredby the experienced M JByleveld, appeared overeager andfought his rider all the wayfrom the 600-meter marker.Stable companion Run For Itcame out under his usualworkrider and went through hispaces in a thoroughlyworkmanlike manner. Snaith isa great believer of thecompression suit, made sopopular by Black Caviar, andboth Run For It and Jet Explorer spend some time intheir suits each afternoon. Finally, it was the turn of the Fred Crabbia-ownedAstro News (SAf) (Silvano {Ger}, a recent addition tothe Charles Laird stable. An impressive winner of theG3 Cup Trial over 1800 meters in his last start a monthago, the gelding appeared very fresh and, despite acitation bit, he tested the strength of his rider's armsfighting all the way. It was a similar performance towhat he had delivered during the Vodacom Durban JulyGallops a week ago. This unwillingness to settle couldbe a problem come Saturday, especially if there is noearly pace. Jockey Kevin Shea is likely to have hishands full. The rain has certainly put a dampener on affairs andofficials will be hoping that it clears up overnight. TheGreyville track has already been tested to its limits thisseason, with Durban experiencing one of its wettestwinters ever and while racing will not be cancelled, anyfurther rain could lead to a soft to heavy track comeSaturday.

He=s very well-balanced and very athletic.[rider] Javier [Castellano] was very impressed with howeasy he did it, too. He didn=t have to use the stickcoming down the stretch, and he beat a fairly nicegroup of horses in a very decent time.@ All in Blue has some mighty shoes to fill before beingcompared to previous superstars for Starlight, including the aforementioned Shanghai Bobby, andfellow flashy grays Monba (Maria=s Mon), Octave(Unbridled=s Song) and Take the Points (Even theScore). AIt=s hard for me to get Frankie to buy a gray horse--Ilove these gray horses,@ Wolf added with a laugh.AHe=s been doing this for so long. He deserves all thecredit.@ The Starlight frontman is looking forward to takinganother crack at the popular $100,000 NYRA juvenilebonus, offered to the connections of any 2-year-oldthat breaks its maiden during the Aqueductwinter/spring meeting or the Belmont spring/summermeets and goes on to win a graded stakes at any NYRAtrack in 2013. AWith the $100,000 bonus available that we werelucky enough to get last year with Shanghai Bobby, itsure would be nice to participate in that again,@ Wolfsaid. As for what=s next for All in Blue, Wolf concluded,ATodd=s the one that=s an expert on placing thesehorses. As usual, we=ll see how he comes out of therace and go from there. I=m not sure what else Toddhas in the barn, but I=m sure that if he comes out ofthis one in good order, we=ll probably be looking at [theGII Sanford S.
