Godswood, by Blue Sky Thoroughbreds resident sire Willow Magic, produced his eighth career win for breeders Bush Hill Stud on the weekend at Turffontein.

Out of a Jallad mare Bluebell Wood from the family of multiple Gr1 and 14-time winning Roland’s Song as well as 8-time and Gr1 winner Contador, the gelding started his career with Paul Peter and is owned by Barend Botes, trained in partnership between Botes and Mr Vosloo.

He defeated a flashy Pinnacle field in the process under Siyanda Sisobo, carrying feather weight and beating the likes of Graded Stakes winners Maharanee, Under Your Spell, Smorgasbord and Eden Roc amongst the field, by over a length.

Willow Magic has a reputation for producing multiple repeat winners and his runners have earned almost R2-million in stakes this season.

Bush Hill Stud are on 32% winners to runners for the season.

Godswood bred by Bush Hill Stud enjoyed his seventh career win on March 30th for the training combination of Messrs Vosloo and Botes, owned by Allan Peters and the Hyperpaint Syndicate.

Godswood, out of Jallad mare Bluebell Wood won by two lengths from recent winner Sheldon over 1000m at the Vaal.

MK’s Pride put up a sterling performance in the weekend’s Gr1 HF Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut over 1600m. Generally thriving on a 1400m race, MK’s Pride finished second to Cape raider Trip Of Fortune in the race just a length off, for trainer Robbie Sage, owner Koos Nkale and jockey Ryan Munger.

Willow Magic produced another two seconds in addition to MK’s Pride over the weekend, with Mon Tresor at Fairview and Lazy Guy getting pipped on the line at Hollywoodbets Greyville.

Willow Magic stands at Blue Sky Thoroughbreds and has produced 17 wins for the current season.
