1) In the beginning...

Well I have searched and searched for information on South African Racehorses on the internet, and much to my chagrin, there is a huge void... There are no photos of Wolf Power, for instance, or anecdotal stories on Empress Club. It is simply because these "darlings" of South African horseracing were champions long before the internet!

Now an expert I am NOT... but a passionate fan I AM... So, if I get a story wrong, please help me correct the info. I will be sourcing most of my information and photos, from the various racing publications that I have collected over the years (I knew those dust caddies would have a better use than being a doorstop!). I will credit them whenever I can - I do not intend to plagiarise the information (and please do not hesitate to contact me if I have overstepped the mark - I will rectify it immediately). My intention is to slowly put it on the web, so that everyone can reminisce and remember the "good old days".

I intend to focus on the big names, and funny stories, of South African racing in the 1980's, 1990's and early 2000's...

Please take a wander back down memory lane with me...
