Clifton Stud’s daughter of Gr3 winner Glenrossal, aptly by Flower Alley, was a fast finishing second for major Clifton supporter and owner Peter White, in the Gr1 Wilgerbosdrift Gr1 SA Fillies Classic.

The race was won by Mauritzfontein’s Summer Pudding, who has now nabbed two legs of the Triple Tiara and will need to see out the 2450m on 4 April in the Gr2 SA Oaks.

Mary Slack of Wilgerbosdrift acknowledged in the presentation that she was very pleased that Flower Alley had produced the second place in the race. Mary has had associated success with Clifton – as her smart Gr2 winner Montreal Mist, by Soft Falling Rain, was crowned KZN Breeders Champion 2YO last season.

The Alec Laird trained filly Marygold won on debut and has placed 3 more times from 6 starts – 2 of them Graded Stakes races. She has earned R299,375 in stakes in the process.

Clifton Stud have a smart draft of yearlings headed to the 2020 National Yearling Sale in April – including an Act Of War half-brother to Spiritofthegroove, and a Kildonan half-brother to Gr2 winner, Montreal Mist and a full brother to 4-time winner Highland Hero. They also have yearlings on offer by young sires William Longsword, Act Of War, Willow Magic, Flying The Flag and Red Ray.

Apprentice Denis Schwarz has formed a solid partnership with the 5yo gelding, who recently dead-heated with #kznbred Angel’s Power to win the Gr3 Spring Spree Stakes. It was Schwarz’ third straight win on Prince Of Kahal and four from four.

Allowed to start at a generous 15-1, Prince Of Kahal came on late to nab the free-striding Zouaves (5-1) and win the 1450m feature on the inside track by a head in a time of 88,88 secs.

Trainer Roy Magner was over the moon and told Tabnews that the winner is known as Tiger in his yard.

“We love him but he’s very arrogant. He doesn’t like being told what to do. But then again, he is always doing his best anyway. It’s his way or no way!”

A son of Kahal (Machiavellian) out of the five-time winning Model Man mare Vogue, Prince Of Kahal was bred by Clifton Stud and was bought for R120 000 at the KZN Yearling Sale. Prince Of Kahal was orphaned at 2 weeks old after his dam died from colic. He is a half-brother to Gr2 winner Fort Vogue, who died prematurely after arriving in Dubai, and to the Gr3 winner Whatalady.

Clifton Stud bought back his brave little half-sister by AP Answer, Fashion Talk, who was trained by James Goodman. She won 3 times and placed 10 times, winning over 1800m – 2000m.

He has earned  R1 073 788 with his 8 wins and 9 places from 27 starts.
