Klawervlei Stud’s G1 Cape Guineas winning sire WILLIAM LONGSWORD has come up with a real star in the form of DYCE. One of South Africa’s best sprinters, the classy Dyce picked up his tenth win when bolting up at Turffontein on Monday.
Under Piere Strydom, the brilliant six-year-old defied 62kgs to win Monday’s Betway Pinnacle Stakes (1160m) in convincing style. Dyce, who is trained by Lucky Houdalakis, was always up with the pace and he simply had too much class for his rivals, striding away to win by a length and a quarter. Bred and owned by David Shawe, Dyce is unbeaten this season with the gelding having won his last three starts.
The star sprinter also enjoyed plenty of success last season, when Dyce won all of the G1 World Pool Cape Flying Championship, G3 New Turf Carriers Merchants and Listed Golden Loom Handicap.
Dyce’s previous triumphs include the 2021 G2 Epol Umkhomazi Stakes.
His G1 Cape Guineas winning sire William Longsword is having another good season, with the son of CAPTAIN AL (Al Mufti) currently seventh on the South African General Sires premiership.
William Longsword has two sons, ITSRAININGWILLIAM and WILLIAM IRON ARM, entered in Saturday’s G3 Cape Mile at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth.
