Klawervlei Stud’s homebred stallion WILLIAM LONGSWORD (Captain Al) has been in fine form of late, and he was at it again on Wednesday.
William Longsword had three runners at Fairview on Wednesday, with two of his trio winning impressively.
The Klawervlei resident struck first on Wednesday when his son RICHARDTHEFEARLESS was given a superb ride by Girish Dookhit to win the Play Soccer 6,10 and 13 MR 72 Handicap convincingly. The Zietsman Oosthuizen trained gelding hit the straight well clear of his rivals, and Richardthefearless kept galloping strongly to win by four and a quarter lengths.
Bred by Drakenstein Stud, Richardthefearless, who was making his first start in the Eastern Cape on Wednesday, races for Messrs S Poriazis & G L Chrisochos.
William Longsword is also the sire of ROYAL KINGDOM, who won the eighth and final race at Fairview on Wednesday. The Alan Greeff trained three-year-old powered home, under Richard Fourie, to win the Next Fairview Racemeeting Friday 3 October MR 76 Handicap (1300m) by a length and three quarters, going away! Bred by Mr Campbell, the Peter Moor owned Royal Kingdom has won twice from just six starts. Held in high regard by his connections, Royal Kingdom looks to have a bright future ahead of him.
His G1 Cape Guineas winning sire WILLIAM LONGSWORD has two fillies on offer at the Two Year Old Sale -a full-sister (Lot 52) to the smart JUST BE LEKKER (William Longsword), and a filly (Lot 142) whose three time winning dam is a half-sister to dual stakes winner RUSH FOR JOHN (Jet Master).
