Miesque’s Approval, Flying The Flag, Crusade and Noble Tune were all represented with siblings at the weekend’s Breeders Cup and impressed with their efforts, with two of them winners.
Sold for R100 000 at the National 2YO Sale and closely related to Pocket Power and River Jetez, Angel’s Power has earned almost R500 000 in stakes to date with four wins and 24 places.
Miesque’s Approval’s four year old son Angel’s Power, finished second in the Gr3 Spring Spree Stakes on Saturday at Turffontein, just over a length off from Kangeroo Jack. Angel’s Power, previously trained by Brian Wiid and had a name change after his first start (formerly Corpus Christi), is now in training with Mike Azzie and owned by Dr RJP Maponya and Mr EG Bouwer.
World Approval has been knocking on the door at the top level and broke through July 3 for his first Grade 1 win in the $300,000 United Nations Stakes at Monmouth Park. World Approval is a half-brother to Gr1 Breeders Cup winner Miesque’s Approval standing at Scott Bros.
Scott Bros’ large imposing Gr1 Breeders Cup winner, Miesque’s Approval, is currently a stand out on the National 2YO Sire’s list, achieving an impressive statistic of 57.1% winners to runners (as per nhra.co.za 15 May).
After Miesque’s Approval’s large strapping handsome son, Backworth-bred Humidor, set a course record at Scottsville over 1200m beating Kildonan’s set previously in a Gr1 race, his four year old daughter Dreya’s Gold bred by Bush Hill Stud set a class record at Scottsville over 1000m yesterday for trainer Garth Puller.
Backworth-bred Humidor, the Tony Rivalland-trained Miesque’s Approval gelding, officially lowered Grade 1 winner Kildonan’s 1200m Scottsville course record on Sunday with the yard aiming Humidor at the Grade 1 Tsogo Sun Sprint.
We invited Gold Circle’s Racing Analyst and TV presenter Warren Lenferna to visit Scott Bros’ Highdown Stud on Friday to view the stallions, and a few of the 2015 foals including a spectacular half-brother to Wild One and a yearling full-brother to Gr1 winner Orbison.
