Klawervlei Stud’s triple G1 winning stallion CAPTAIN OF ALL (Captain Al) had a good day at the Vaal on Thursday where the former Equus Champion supplied a pair of winners.
Not only did Captain Of All gelding CAPTAIN JIM win the third race on Thursday, but the Klawervlei sire’s daughter THE NAVY LARK captured the seventh race run at the Vaal on Thursday.
Trained by Fabian Habib, Captain Jim showed tremendous heart when he won Thursday’s Racing 240 For Racing. For You Maiden Handicap over 1600 metres.
Under a strong ride from Gavin Lerena, the Captain Of All gelding fought out a ding-dong battle with runner up RED LEGEND (Red Ray) to score by a head.
Bred by the Estate Of The Late Dr Jim Antrobus, Captain Jim (third in his three starts prior to Thursday’s win) races for Messrs J Nassif, M G Bothma, J J Habib, G J Nassif, Adv M Witz & Tri-Deal Sixteen CC (Nom: Mr Z L Nassif).
Captain Of All’s second success on Thursday came when his daughter The Navy Lark made much of the running to win the Take A Bet Wina Numba Numba MR 80 Handicap (1100m) by half a length.
Trained by the Visser family, four-year-old The Navy Lark was winning for a third time overall, with the filly having won two of her last three starts.
Bred by the Late David Allan, The Navy Lark races for Harry Govender.
South Africa’s Leading First Season Sire of 2018-2019, and by the same sire as the Klawervlei bred sire sensation ONE WORLD (Captain Al), Captain Of All had a good season in 2023-2024, where his flagbearers included the likes of WHISTLE THE TUNE, KISS ME CAPTAIN, MEU CAPITANO, and CAPTAIN HINDSIGHT.
