Klawervlei Stud’s well performed stallion ROYAL MO is the sire of a very smart performer in the form of TYRION LANNISTER.
The latter made it back to back wins when scoring a courageous win at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday afternoon, with Tyrion Lannister coming into Saturday’s race off a win in the Newlands Stakes. Trained by Piet Botha, the three-year-old came with a strong late rattle, under JP Van Der Merwe, to claim the Taking The Reins Class 3 (1600m) by a long neck. Bred by Millstream Farm, Tyrion Lannister, described his trainer as a “very nice horse” races for the Dare To Dream Racing Syndicate.
The colt, who has now won three times, has built up a great record with JP Van Der Merwe, with Van Der Merwe having partnered Tyrion Lannister three times for two wins and a third place finish.
His G3 Robert B. Lewis Stakes winning sire Royal Mo went close to having a double on Saturday, with Royal Mo filly DONNA MO finishing second at Turffontein on the same day.
Royal Mo is one of 100 stakes winners for his outstanding sire Uncle Mo, with Uncle Mo also the sire of Saturdays G1 Apple Blossom Handicap winner ADARE MANOR. The brilliant Adare Manor, also victorious in the G1 Clement L. Hirsch Stakes last year, has now won eight of 16 starts with five other top three finishes for $1,736,600 in earnings
Uncle Mo is also the sire of Kentucky Derby winner NYQUIST, whose son ENCINO won the G3 Stonestreet Lexington Stakes at Keeneland on Saturday.
Royal Mo offers two lots at this week’s National Yearling Sale.
