• The
VDJ Log will be updated on Wednesday 23-May and again on
Tuesday,
5-June.
• The Final Field will be declared on Thursday 21-June, when the
draws for barrier positions will take place.
The Vodacom Durban July log is the Selection Committees’
view on what the field would be if the race was run as of
today’s date. The log is dynamic and can change dramatically
with the result of any one of the Vodacom Durban July
“qualifying races” to be run in the future. Included with
the top 20 log are the next ten horses “on the outside
looking in”. Any of these ten horses displaying a good
performance in future races could move into the top 20
replacing any horse anywhere near the bottom of the log or
any horse displaying future indifferent performances. For
ease of reference these ten are merely expressed in
alphabetical order. It follows that any horse outside of
these 30 which performs well in the future could also move
significantly either into the ten outside of the log or even
into the top 20 depending on the level of that performance.
