The way Puerto Manzano registered another win at Turffontein indicates he might yet scale even bigger heights this year.
Although Halloween is officially today – Tuesday 31 October – chances are you witnessed some traditional Halloween hustle on Saturday night.
Saturday night belonged to the Springboks in more ways than one and I suspect that guising children must have met with the same reception Pieter-Steph du Toit afforded anyone wearing a silver fern at Saint-Denis.Puerto Manzano, an Argentine bred son of Seek Again is no pumpkin but at 18-1 odds this was a real ‘turnip’ for the books.
If I had penned this article in 523AD and not 1 500 years later I would have written that today is officially Samhain. This date had been celebrated as a pagan festival by the Celts for more than 1 000 years, until Pope Gregory III came along in the 8th century and designated it as a religious ceremony to honour all saints.
It’s just a coincidence, if I was trying to annoy readers with infantile Halloween word-play I’d say something silly about a noisy Manchester neighbour scoring twice and giving his crosstown foe an Early Haal-oween bewitching.He may no longer be a spring chicken but the way he swooped past a top quality field to register yet another Turffontein success tells me he might yet scale even bigger heights this year than last.
