Gr2 Win For Son Of Overlord, Talktothestars
After passing through the TBA National 2YO Sale as unsold in 2013, the Scott Bros’ Talktothestars has been knocking on the door for a big win and it came in the Gr2 Senor Santa Handicap at Turffontein on Saturday, his eighth career win to date. He has a Mogok half-brother coming up at the National Yearling Sale, a full brother to two winners.
Owned and trained by Coenie De Beer, the son of Overlord out of Spaceship mare Tellittothestars finished three and half lengths off in Kenilworth in two Gr2 races, to Triptique and Lanner Falcon. He then went on to finish just over a length off in fifth in a Gr1 to Gulf Storm.
The De Beer galloper got the verdict by a head in a time of 66,31 secs.
Talktothestars is a son of one-time record-breaking Aussie yearling Overlord, himself a son of world champion sire and successful sire-of-sires Danehill, out of a half sister to Royal Academy.
Overlord has been finding form of late, particularly on the polytrack surfaces.
His recent winners include Promissory, Time Marches On, Your Worship, and Talktothestars full sister who appears to following in her big brothers footsteps – the aptly named Lady Starlett, who has now won twice and placed three times from seven starts for Coenie De Beer.
