Klawervlei Stud’s multiple G1 winning sire, and former Equus Champion, CAPTAIN OF ALL (Captain Al) had a notable double at Turffontein on Monday afternoon.
The sprint champion’s first success on Monday came when his daughter DANCING ARABIAN won the fourth race on the Turffontein card. Under Muzi Yeni, the Roy Magner trained filly got her nose down in the shadow of the post to score by a short head for owner Mrs Joan Callaghan. Bred by Willie Lopez, Dancing Arabian has now won three times and has proved a model of consistency.
Captain Of All’s second win on Monday came when his talented son CAPTAIN MORISCO ran on strongly to win the seventh race at Turffontein. The Ashley Fortune trained gelding was given a well-timed ride by Calvin Habib, who produced Captain Morisco with a late burst to win going away just over half a length -despite coming off a layoff and having to carry 60kgs.
Bred by Klawervlei Stud, Captain Morisco, who has now won or placed in 12 of 17 starts, is owned by Messrs C A F Goncalves, A C Fortune, D Luiz & F Vahab.
Sire of last season’s multiple G1 winner LINEBACKER, Captain Of All has two colts on offer at this week’s November Two-Year-Old Sale.
