THE LAW READY FOR THE GUINEAS

Mogok's son, The Law, has passed his stiffest test to date to capture his third race in a row, a merit rated 86 race at Clairwood over 1450m.

The smart performer has been confirmed as heading to the KZN Guineas by the Herman Brown stable after the win.

Jockey Brandon Lerena was thrilled with the performance and declared that he has picked his Guineas mount.

"There were a hard knocking bunch of horses in this race, and he was giving weight to some them and they have run close to some of the best horses in the country. He's improving this horse and Frank and I were just talking about the Guineas and I think he's the horse I am going to ride in the Guineas," mentioned Lerena.

"We thought today would be his toughest task and he had to pass the test today for us to run him the Guineas," mentioned Assistant Trainer, Frank Robinson.

King Of The Tribe (Drier) broke sharply. Cyber Case (Charles Laird) and Irish Affaire (Lunn) were in the early vanguard. The Law (Brown) and Norman Champion (Howells) were racing after them by five lengths. King Of The Tribe was three lengths clear at the 400m mark. King Of The Tribe was a length in front at the 200m pole as The Law made ground along the inside to threaten. The Law won going away and he looks a top sort in the making as he won from King Of The Tribe and Keen Warrior (Rivalland). The Law is by Mogok out of a Secret Prospector mare, Queen's Right.
