Klawervlei Stud’s homebred G1 Cape Guineas winner WILLIAM LONGSWORD (Captain Al) was responsible for a pair of winners over the weekend.
On Friday, the William Longsword filly CITY OF DREAMS got off the mark when she won the Play Soccer 6,10 and 13 Open Maiden (F&M) (1000m) at Fairview.
Under Iannish Taka, the Kelly Mitchley trained three-year-old turned the contest into a one-horse race with City Of Dreams drawing off to win by four and a quarter lengths. Bred by the Klawervlei Grooms Trust, City Of Dreams races for Mr S S Govender & Mesdames Sarosha Govender & S D Stokes.
William Longsword filly STREISAND provided her sire with a second success this weekend when she won at Turffontein on Sunday.
The Robyn Klaasen trained three-year-old, ridden by Kaidan Brewer, justified tote favouritism when she won Sunday’s Champion Finale 26 April FM 75 Divided Handicap (F&M) over 1600m. Well ridden by Brewer, Streisand kept going to score a shade cosily by a length. Bred by Klawervlei Stud, Streisand races for Dayalan Chinsammy and Satch Mathen.
A son of Klawervlei’s late, great stallion Captain Al (whose sire sons have enjoyed a wonderful season in 2024-2025), William Longsword went close to having a treble this weekend, with his daughter ENCHANTING LADY finished third, beaten just a neck, in the fifth race on Friday.
