Klawervlei Stud’s inform stallion WILLIAM LONGSWORD (Captain Al) continues to churn out winners all over South Africa. The Cape Guineas winner was at it again when his lightly raced daughter PATANTS HEIR ran out a convincing winner at Hollywoodbets Scottsville on Sunday.

Under a strong ride from Gavin Lerena, the Gareth Van Zyl trained four-year-old dug down deep to land Sunday’s Gallop TV Youtube Channel FM 93 Handicap (1000m) by a short-head.

Bred by Maine Chance Farms (Pty) Ltd, Patants Heir, who races for the Hollywood Syndicate, has won three of just seven starts.

William Longsword went close to having feature race success at Turffontein on Saturday. His classy son MELECH put up a smart effort when finishing third in the G3 New Turf Carriers Merchants (a race won last year by William Longsword’s top-class son DYCE) while William Longsword filly WILLY MEET AGAIN caught the eye when running third in the same day’s G3 Betway Fillies Mile.

Also sire of this season’s G2 Betway Joburg Spring Challenge/Listed Spring Spree Stakes winner BACK IN BUSINESS and Listed Betway National Colour Stakes winner ICE STAR, William Longsword hails from a family which looks set for more big race success.

His G1 winning half-sister REAL PRINCESS (Trippi) looks likely to be represented in two feature races on Saturday, with her daughter GIMMIE’S COUNTESS (Gimmethegreenlight) nominated for Saturday’s G1 World Sports Betting Cape Fillies Guineas and her son GIMME A PRINCE (Gimmethegreenlight) entered in the same day’s G2 World Sports Betting Green Point Stakes.
