Klawervlei Stud bred thoroughbreds enjoyed good success at Turffontein on Saturday.
Not only did the Klawervlei bred SECRETARY BIRD (Rafeef) win Saturday’s Listed Wilgerbosdrift Ruffian Stakes, but the Klawervlei Stud bred champions ONE WORLD (Captain Al) and VERCINGETORIX (Silvano) are the sires of WORLD ATTRACTION, winner of Saturday’s Listed TAB Storm Bird Stakes, and GRAND EMPIRE, victorious in the same day’s G1 HKJC World Pool SA Classic respectively.

Promising two-year-old Secretary Bird made it two wins from just three starts when she won the Ruffian Stakes (1000m) on Saturday.
Under Ryan Munger, the Sean Tarry trained filly exploded through late to draw off and win convincingly by two and a quarter lengths.

Owned by the ASSM Racing Syndicate, Secretary Bird is a full-sister to the useful performer TINTIN (Rafeef).

Saturday’s winner is out of SECRETARIAT’S GIRL (Captain Al), a five time winning own sister to the stakes winning dam of the Klawervlei bred G1 South African Fillies Sprint winner MIA MOO (Vercingetorix).

Secretariat’s Girl, also closely related to multiple stakes winner MELTING MOMENTS (Captain Al), has a Futura filly (Lot 83) on offer at the upcoming Premier Yearling Sale.
