南非奖金最高赛事德班七月赛昨日在灰谷赛马场成功举办，四岁骟马「女水手」最终夺冠。一级赛德班七月赛赛距为2200米，奖金为450万兰特（折合人民币约205万元）。

Joey Ramsden reports The Conglomerate (AUS) on song in his bid to become the first dual winner of the Vodacom Durban July since El Picha at the turn of the century – although he believes the advantage lies with Edict Of Nantes in the same Mayfair Speculators colours.

Daily News winner Edict Of Nantes will be kept ticking over until the July gallops at Greyville in nine days’ time says trainer Brett Crawford.

The R2m, Grade 1 Daily News 2000 over 2000m at Greyville on Saturday turned into a battle of the Derby heroes as Grade 1 Investec Cape Derby winner Edict Of Nantes and Al Sahem, triumphant in the Grade 1 SA Derby, came together at the top of the Greyville straight.

The R1m, Grade 1 Investec Cape Derby (2000m) at Kenilworth on Saturday could have class versus stamina as its chief protagonists.
