Klawervlei Stud’s inform sire WILLIAM LONGSWORD (Captain Al) came up with a good looking winner on Sunday. His three-year-old son TOWN CRIER got off the mark at the second time of asking when he won the third race at Hollywoodbets Greyville. Trained by Stuart Ferrie, Town Crier kept going, under Serino Moodley, to claim Sunday’s Online Form Guide Maiden Plate (1200m) by just under three-parts of a length. Bred by Avontuur Thoroughbred Farm, Town Crier races for The Poet`s Corner Syndicate (Nom:Michael Moroney), Mr S Govender & Mrs Cecilia Trickett.
Sunday’s winner is bred on the same William Longsword/Var cross as G2 Betway Spring Challenge winner BACK IN BUSINESS.
William Longsword is also the sire of the very classy gelding MELECH, with the latter catching the eye when running on from the back of the field to finish third at Turffontein on Saturday. Melech, who has earned more than R730 000 in stakes, looks set for a good season in 2025-2026.
Winner of the G1 Cape Guineas, William Longsword has a single lot on offer at this month’s August Two Year Old Sale.
