ALLAN BOUGHT MARES PRODUCE GRADE 1 2ND 3RD AND 4TH
Extraordinary cluster of successful runners from reasonably bought imports
26th Jan 2019
In an extraordinary achievement in a Grade 1 race today on Sun Met Day at Kenilworth, the 2nd 3rd and 4th home were bred from three different mares bought by AllanBloodlines in UK/Ireland for South Africa. Each already-successful runner was expertly bred by Ascot Stud.
The Cape Flying Championship (Gr1) - SA's fastest sprint race - saw Bold Respect, Search Party and Pacific Trader fill those positions, each dam having been bought at very sensible prices.
Coincidentally Brett Crawford trained all three of them - congratulations to him and to the connections. 1st 2nd 3rd was thwarted by Kasimir but it was still quite something to see!
