Klawervlei Stud’s inform stallion WILLIAM LONGSWORD (Captain Al) struck twice over the past weekend.
On Saturday, William Longsword gelding NATIONAL AWARD won in Mauritius, while the next day saw William Longsword filly CALL OF THE KAROO win at Hollywoodbets Durbanville.
The Waterford Stud bred National Award picked up the second win of his career when he won Saturday’s The SP Ecogrow Plus Challenge Cup. Trained by Rameshwar Gujadhur, National Award is owned by Mr Abhishek Gujadhur & Mr Bissoonduth Fowdur.
Three-year-old Call Of The Karoo was rewarded for consistency when she claimed Sunday’s Hollywoodbets Durbanville Welcomes You Maiden Plate (1000m). The Glen Kotzen trained filly was given a fine ride by JP Van Der Merwe, who kept Call Of The Karoo going to win by a short head. Bred by Klawervlei, Call Of The Karoo, who had finished second in her two starts prior to Saturday’s win, races for Greg Bortz, Gary Player and Gina Goldsmith.
Call Of The Karoo provided her sire with a 100% strike rate on Sunday, with the filly being William Longsword’s sole runner on the day.
