Klawervlei Stud’s homebred stallion WILLIAM LONGSWORD (Captain Al) is the sire of a well above average filly in the form of FESTIVAL CHIC. The latter picked up her fourth career win when she won at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on Wednesday.
Under Louis Mxothwa, the four-year-old, who was keen early on, raced midfield for much of Wednesday’s Lucky Fish Monopoly Middle Stakes (F and M) (1250m). Mxothwa bought his mount with a strong late charge, which saw Festival Chic get up in the shadow of the post to score by a short-head.
Bred by Klawervlei Stud, the James Crawford trained Festival Chic, who was not beaten far in the recent G3 Diana Stakes, is owned by Mr Murugasa.
Her G1 Cape Guineas winning sire William Longsword is a half-brother to G1 South African Fillies Sprint winner and outstanding producer REAL PRINCESS (Trippi). The latter, already dam of three graded stakes winners led by champion GIMME A PRINCE (Gimmethegreenlight) and G1 Hollywoodbets Durban July winner THE REAL PRINCE (Gimmethegreenlight), looks to have come up with another top-class prospect in the form of GIMMIE RULES (Gimmethegreenlight). The latter made it two wins from three starts when he won impressively at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on Wednesday.
