UPDATES – Scott’s Bar
October 16th, 2026
2nd – SCOTT’S BAR (yellow cap below) finishes 2nd to TARANAKI NOMAD (NZ) on his Eastern Cape debut over 2200m on the Fairview Polytrack. Scott’s Bar raced one off the fence in second position without cover. He had a hard run throughout and was beaten by a short head. I thought he was a little unlucky. Perhaps the pace of the race did not really suit him, but I believe he will go close next time out.. Race Replay & Interview.

Raced over 1800m at Hollywoodbets Greyville on the polytrack. Finished 3rd out of 7 runners.
Anthony Delpech post-race comment: Not a bad run, finishing third. He will be moving to PE where I think he’ll be able to win races.
August 30th, 2026
Raced over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. Finished 5th out of 9 runners.
Anthony Delpech post-race comment: He lacked the speed to lead and had to settle in second. Looks average at present but may improve over further and could win a race.
