The TAB SA Derby and Wilgerbosdrift SA Oaks, both Grade 2 events over 2450m at Turffontein on 4 April, close off the TAB SA Triple Crown and Wilgerbosdrift Triple Tiara for 2026.

We now know that no colt or gelding is in line to capture the R2-million bonus for winning all three legs of the Triple Crown with Gauteng Guineas winner Splittheeights finishing third in the Grade 1 SA Classic.

However, Corne Spies-trained Hazy Dazy could well become the first three-year-old filly to claim the Triple Tiara since Rain In Holland in 2022.

She scored an almost start-to-finish victory in the Grade 1 SA Fillies Classic over 1800n and now just needs to win the Oaks to earn the R1-million bonus and etch her name into the SA record books.
