Klawervlei Stud’s four time G1 winning stallion TWICE OVER (Observatory) came up with yet another stakes winner when his son LAST ONE STANDING won the Listed Breeders Champion Cup on Friday.
Under Jeffrey Syster, the Debra Swanson trained gelding dug down deep to land the Borrowdale feature by half a length.
It was a smart performance by Last One Standing, with the latter conceding 8kgs to the runner up.
Bred by Beaumont Stud, five-year-old Last One Standing has won six of his last seven starts and clearly is one of the top horses racing in Zimbabwe at the moment. Friday’s winner is owned by Mr and Mrs Cocksedge.
Twice Over has enjoyed another good season in 2025-2026, with his multiple G1 winning son SEE IT AGAIN having won the 2026 G1 World Sports Betting Cape Town Met. To date, See It Again has earned more than R8.9 million in prize money!
Twice Over also gained a handsome update to his pedigree when his close relative OMBUDSMAN (Night Of Thunder) won the G1 Dubai Turf Sponsored By DP World on Saturday. Also victorious in both the G1 Prince Of Wales’s Stakes and Juddmonte International last year, Ombudsman’s fifth dam LOST VIRTUE (Cloudy Dawn) ranks as the third dam of Twice Over.
Champion Twice Over has two lots on offer at the upcoming National Yearling Sale -a filly (Lot 155) out of G3 Champagne Stakes winner PURPLE ORCHID (Dr Fong), and a colt (Lot 256) whose dam is a winning daughter of G2 Southern Cross Stakes winner FAIRYINTHEWOODS (Count Dubois).
