Klawervlei Stud’s four time G1 winning sire TWICE OVER (Observatory) hails from one of the best families in the stud book.
This remarkable female line got yet another boost when the exciting two-year-old EWING (Knicks Go) won the G2 Saratoga Special Stakes at Saratoga on Saturday.
In the process, the colt maintained his unbeaten record. Trained by dual Hall of Famer Mark Casse, the Knicks Go colt entered the 6 1/2-furlong sprint from an eye-opening 12-length debut romp on July 5 at the Spa.
On Saturday, with returning rider Jose Ortiz up, Ewing broke a step slow and veered in at the start from the inside post while the sharp-starting favorite Obliteration caught a flyer from the gate. Nevertheless, Ortiz and Ewing hustled up the rail and showed the way through splits of 22.26 seconds and 45.41 over the fast main track, angling wide off the turn as Obliteration struggled to corner. Ortiz straightened away Ewing and powered through the wire.
The exciting colt is directly descended in female line from the increasingly influential mare LOST VIRTUE (Cloudy Dawn), the third dam of both US champion BANSHEE BREEZE (Unbridled) and the brilliant Twice Over himself.
Twice Over, whose top-class son SEE IT AGAIN ran a good third in the recent G1 HKJC Champions Cup, has seven lots on offer at the August Two Year Old Sale.
