Klawervlei Stud’s G1 Cape Guineas winning stallion WILLIAM LONGSWORD (Captain Al) struck twice over the weekend.
William Longsword gelding ROYAL KINGDOM showed his class when he won at Fairview on Friday. Trained by Alan Greeff, three-year-old Royal Kingdom, who was bred by Mr Campbell, pulled away, under Richard Fourie, to claim Friday’s Play Soccer 6,10 and 13 MR 74 Handicap (1400m) by two and a half lengths. It was a fine effort from Royal Kingdom, who had five lengths to make up at the 300m mark. The gelding, who races for Peter Moor, has now won three of his last five starts.
William Longsword’s second success came at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on Saturday. His daughter WILLIAM’S WOMAN got off the mark when she won the first race at Hollywoodbets Durbanville. Under a great ride from Sifisokuhle Bungane, the Michelle Rix trained filly dug down gamely to win the Hollywoodbets Durbanville Welcomes You Maiden Plate (1000m) by a neck. Bred by Stone Hill Stud, the lightly raced William’s Woman races for SA Punters Forum Syndicate (Pty) Ltd, Messrs G A van der Merwe & Jody van Heerden.
Her inform sire William Longsword had a single lot on offer at the recent Two Year Old Sale, with his Klawervlei Stud, as Agent, consigned daughter out of Polly Wolly Doodle fetching R350 000.
