Some Like It Hot, Ru Paul’s Drag Race, the 2025 Coral Scottish Grand National – three trumphets of female impersonation.

2 weeks ago | nation.africa | Deja vu

Joe Karari's, Sheriff John Stone, chaperoned by South African virtuoso Marco Van Rensburg, had his Kenya Derby rivals reeling over a barrel from the bend. Swayze, Antwerp, and Act of Genius each had a brief bite of some front-row cake, but the 21 syndication of Racing Rascals were already popping corks as they witnessed their personified, calm Sheriff respond to Marco's cue. Liverpool was never in the Sir David Markham commentary discussion. Sheriff John Stone could have gone another round.
Hit Show causes major upset in Meydan Dubai World Cup

2 weeks ago | nation.africa | Deja vu

Frankie Dettori has narrowly missed out on half a million sterling pounds. Don't cry. He still pockets 190,000. We should all become jockeys! It occurred when Frankie came second in the Arab Emirates 1 mile 2-furlong Dubai World Cup on Mixto 33-1. The feature had a total prize fund of £9.29 million, with £5m of that going to Hit Show (Florent Geroux 80-1). That was something of a blind-sider for bookies.

2 weeks ago | nation.africa | Deja vu

Fracturing his arm at Fairview, South Africa, when Purple Operator went down, jockey Marco van Rensburg, 41, commenced a frustrating six-week recovery path to enable riding again. Having broken a litany of bones over his career quarter century, Marco is a testament to the simple love of the game. As the only invitee for Sunday's Derby programme, Marco respects that accidents are part of a challenging package.
Horse racing in Kenya: Past and present

1 month ago | nation.africa | Deja vu

With the impending Derby Classic looming, come April 6, we chose to take you on a walk down 'Reminiscery Crescent.' Kenya, the Horn, Zimbabwe, and South Africa, are currently the only countries to have sprouted big time, with horse racing. Even during World Wars 1/2, when contests of any denomination were forced to shut down, did we listen? Only to a degree. A few scattered showers kept stalwarts pumping in Eldoret, Limuru, Machakos, Molo, Nakuru, and Thompson's Falls.
Resourceful hat-trick for Julie Mccann in three features at Ngong

1 month ago | nation.africa | Deja vu

Dalkeith monitored the Paddy Migdoll Tea Urn, several lengths ahoy, blissfully unaware of what lurked behind. Camberley, Joanna, Easterly and Pinamar, were dependent upon Dalkeith drying up, which he did. While Paul Kiarie canvassed Camberley to check out the post, comfortably, for Julie Mcann's enterprise, Dalkeith actually made a gallant attempt to resurge. Julie's Ten Eighty occupied first place in the Conference Cup, and she tripled this flush with an Arkle Trophy from Antwerp.
Jockey Club honours Paddy Migdoll in four races at Ngong

Dalkeith with Abdulahhi Tache claiming five respectable kilos must have valid bites for Paddy Migdoll's Tea Urn, 1,800m Handicap. Pinamar might hold sway if his will to do well does not drain away energy levels. Player X is compelled to be ultra-sharp at the Cambric Trophy Gates where Beeston, Rahul, Ripon, Treasure Cove, and, Bedford, will be throwing their darts with similar variations. Luck is the residual of design when sprinters all have their fingers on starting buzzers.
