Anyoneâs Derby after Kommetdieding is scratched Mike Moon
From the unfashionable stable of Harold Crawford and Michelle Rix and ridden by journeyman jockey Sihle Cele, Kommetdieding had already won many a fan with three wins from three starts â so started as the 22-10 favourite for this Grade 3 contest for three-year-olds. Photo: Twitter/@CapeTSales New favourite for the Grade 1,200m classic is Justin Snaith-trained The Gatekeeper, with all of Rascallion, Linebacker, Russian Rock and Legitimate also attracting punting attention.
The story of Saturdayâs Cape Derby at Kenilworth lost its folksy theme when hot favourite Kommetdieding was scratched on Thursday after injuring himself in his final preparatory gallop.
