Klawervlei Stud’s multiple G1 winning stallion KOMMETDIEDING (Elusive Fort) enjoyed a handsome update to his pedigree on Saturday.
Progressive three-year-old DIOGENES (Hawwaam) landed the biggest win of his career when he captured the Listed WSB Hawwaam Stakes at Turffontein on Saturday.
In the process, the Weichong Marwing trained gelding stamped himself a potential contender for the upcoming G2 TAB SA Derby.
Under a great ride from Muzi Yeni, Diogenes tracked the front running TEXAS MISSILE (One World) before hitting the front with 100m left to run.
From there, the son of Hawwaam drew off to post his first black type win by a length and a half.
Bred by Riethuiskraal Stud, Diogenes races for Mr Havenga.
The progressive gelding has won three of nine starts, with Diogenes victorious in his last two starts.
Diogenes is out of G3 Diana Stakes runner up CAPTAINOFMYSOUL (Captain Al), a three-parts sister to both triple G1 winner CAPTAIN AMERICA (Captain Al) and Listed Gardenia Handicap runner up ADORABLE.
The latter is the dam of Kommetdieding, an unbeaten galloper at two who went on to win both the G1 Vodacom Durban July and G1 World Sports Betting Cape Town Met.
The brilliant Kommetdieding also enjoyed notable success at the recent Premier Yearling Sale, where members of his first crop made up to R900 000.
