Klawervlei Stud’s exciting young stallion KOMMETDIEDING (Elusive Fort) gained yet another update to his stellar female line on Sunday.
Promising two-year-old GIMMEFORSURE (Gimmethegreenlight), who hails from the same family as Kommetdieding, made an impressive winning debut at Turffontein. The Mike and Mathew De Kock trained filly was sent off as a 9/4 shot for Sunday’s 4Racing Welcomes You Maiden Juvenile Plate (1100m) and duly lived up to expectations. Under Callan Murray, the regally bred Gimmeforsure hit the front 150m from home and drew off to win by just over a length and a quarter.
Owned by Mr Murugasa, the Boland Stud bred Gimmeforsure is out of SUREFIRE (Count Dubois), a three time winning half-sister to G3 King’s Cup winner PIRATE’S GOLD (Rich Man’s Gold) and dam of the very smart QUASIFORSURE. Surefire’s granddam RIDING LIGHT (Top Ville) also ranks as the third dam of the top-class KOMMETDIEDING.
The latter, who, like recent G1 Betfred Derby winner LAMBOURN (Australia), hails from the powerful Sadler’s Wells male line, won or placed in 16 of 18 starts and won both the 2021 G1 Vodacom Durban July and 2022 G1 World Sports Betting Cape Town Met.
