Klawervlei Stud’s four time G1 winning stallion TWICE OVER (Observatory) had a good few days this past week. Not only did Twice Over’s top-class son SEE IT AGAIN finish a close and creditable third in Sunday’s G1 HKJC Champions Cup, but Twice Over was responsible for a pair of winners over the weekend.

On Friday, Twice Over gelding LAST ONE STANDING made it three wins in a row when he won at Borrowdale for Debra Swanson and Deryl Daniels. Bred by Beaumont Stud, the four-year-old races for Mr and Mrs Cocksedge.

Twice Over is also the sire of smart filly LAVENDER BAY, who caught the eye when winning in good style at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday. Trained by Andre Nel, four-year-old Lavender Bay pulled clear of her rivals to land Saturday’s Hollywoodbets Class 4 (F and M) (1600m) by half a length. Bred and owned by Sabine Plattner, Lavender Bay has won twice and finished second in each of her last four starts. She is bred on the same Twice Over/Casey Tibbs cross as champion DO IT AGAIN as well as multiple graded stakes winner MUCHO DINERO.

Twice Over, whose relatives include 2025 G1 Prince Of Wales’s Stakes winner OMBUDSMAN (Night Of Thunder) among many others, hails from a red hot family.
This prolific family gained another boost when three-year-old CONTINUITE (Frankel), whose fourth dam QUANDARY (Blushing Groom) is the granddam of Twice Over, won by four and a quarter lengths at Gowran Park recently.
