Good morning, all.
I’ve been keeping an eye 👁 on the news lately and trying to stay off the phone — got to protect the good eye! 👀
Firstly, I’d like to cast my vote for General Mkhwanazi for President.
Can you imagine how great South Africa could be if we had men of his calibre in Parliament?
Let’s hope the obviously guilty parties are eventually brought to book, and that some serious money is recovered. I just watched footage of assets being seized — including Lamborghinis bought with stolen hospital 🏥 funds.
In South Africa, there’s always the Zondo/Zuma saga that we hope won’t be repeated — but this time, perhaps real action will be taken.
As for Donald and Gaza, it seems Mr Trump now prefers to be called Donald “Flash” Trump, Saviour of the Universe. 🌍
There’s even tension between Sweden and Israel — apparently, the Swedes want Israel to keep Greta! 😅
Weekend Sport
Rugby 🏉
Well done to the Boks — although they certainly cured my constipation!
Horse Racing 🐎
Ante-post betting for the Summer Cup is open, but no immediate standout so far. A massive Pick 6 is already being forecast.
No goosebump names this year like Summer Pudding, Louis the King, or Ilha da Vitoria — such great memories.
Atticus Finch — last year’s winner — is back, with See It Again and perhaps King Pelles looking best at this stage.
We’ve got PE racing today, and I’ll be following Zietsman each way.
Turffontein follows on Saturday.
Take note — Ryan Moore’s son has his first ride at Kempton, partnering third favourite Valdorica against two hot ones 🔥.
Best bet tonight: Fanjove.
And at Newmarket, watch out for Precise from O’Brien with Soumillon aboard.
Football ⚽️
Arsenal are looking sharp this year, and Hearts are leading in Scotland.
Scotland also beat Greece last night — a positive start to the weekend!
This is a golden oldie by Barry McGuire — and the words are still painfully relevant after all these years.
I had it on an LP titled “Best Songs to Commit Suicide To.”
🎵
Sometimes, things never change.
