Back-to-back wins for William Longsword daughter

Klawervlei Stud’s resident sire WILLIAM LONGSWORD (Captain Al) continues to churn out winners, and the son of Captain Al struck again on Sunday.

His inform daughter SHANTA’S PRIDE made it back to back wins when running out a convincing winner of the seventh race at Hollywoodbets Greyville. Under Gavin Lerena (who is unbeaten on Shanta’s Pride), the five-year-old stormed home to score by a facile two lengths. Bred by Bush Hill Stud, the Peter Musctt trained Shanta’s Pride races for the Hollywoodbets Syndicate.

Shanta’s Pride, who has won or placed in 12 of 18 starts, is bred on the same William Longsword/Jet Master cross as 2024 Listed Secretariat Stakes winner SABRE STRIKE.

William Longsword went close to having a double on Sunday, with his promising daughter JEANNE DARC making a cracking debut at Hollywoodbets Greyville.

The Stuart Ferrie trained filly, also bred on the William Longsword/Jet Master cross, looked unlucky not to win on debut on Sunday when flying up late and just getting touched off when second in the first race carded.

Brilliant Cape Guineas winner William Longsword is enjoying another good season in 2024-2025, with his flagbearers including G2 Betway Joburg Spring Challenge/Listed Betway Spring Spree Stakes hero BACK IN BUSINESS.
