1-2-3-4 For Polytrack Leading Sire Miesque’s Approval – One Race!

Miesque’s Approval is in the news once more with an exciting win at Greyville on the Polytrack, 15 March, over 1600m won by Rocky Bay – followed by three other sons of Miesque’s Approval in a remarkable 1-2-3-4.

A rarity in racing, the MR72 Handicap result emphasised Miesque’s Approval’s top accolade of being the National Leading Sire on Artificial Surfaces (Polytrack), continued in the new stats published yesterday by sportingpost.co.za.

A Gr1 Breeders Cup Mile winner over turf, Miesque’s Approval lies 11th on the National Log overall.

Rocky Bay, bred by Scott Bros, finished first by a quarter of a length followed by Golden Acres-bred Pearly King with King’s Approval (bred by Linington & Sons) just a neck off, and Gulliver’s Travels in fourth position by over a length from the winner, bred by Scott Bros.

Between the four paternal sibling’s race records, they have achieved a total of nine wins and amassed 49 places.

Rocky Bay is trained by Frank Robinson, owned by Mr W H W & Mrs N S Reusch, Messrs R J Fourie & G W Whittaker, Mr & Mrs P H De Lacy. Rocky Bay is a half-brother to Graded Placed Ballito Boy and Gr1 placed Tiger Shark, and this is his fifth win. He is out of Dolpour mare Dolphin Coast who has produced a staggering eight winners to date from 10 runners.

Eclipse Award-winning Miesque’s Approval is the sire in South Africa of winners (and Gr1 VDJ placed) Eton Square (renamed Eton Blitz), Gr2 winning (and second in the Gr1 Summer Cup) Judicial, Approval Rating, Shine Like A Star and Putney Flyer.

Congratulations to the Scott Bros, as well as all of the connections of the winning and placed horses. View the race replay below.
