Former Cape-based dual Grade 1 winner Beach Bomb will debut in the USA on Saturday 31 August for owners and breeders Drakenstein Stud.
The top-class filly is in training with Graham Motion, who is also taking care of Hollywood Syndicate’s Isivunguvungu.
A four-time winner in South Africa, including two Gr1’s, when trained by Candice Bass-Robinson, Beach Bomb’s dam Beach Beauty received the much deserved accolade of Equus Broodmare Of The Year, after producing feature winners Beach Bomb and Mike Miller trained Narina Trogon last season.
Merit Rated 117 at her time of export, she will line up in Race 5, the Listed Violet Stakes for a stake of US$100 000 over 1700m at Monmouth.
Graham Motion has seen success with SAF-breds previously, having trained Rathmor-bred Gypsy’s Warning to Gr1 victory in the Matriarch Stakes at Hollywood Park, as well as a Gr3 win at Monmouth in the Eatontown Stakes.
The diminutive daughter of Dynasty, Beach Beauty, has been as sensational at stud as she was on the track, and sees her Gr2 winning son Wild Coast (Trippi) standing this season at Schalkie Van Der Walt’s Gelykfontein Stud in the Northern Cape.
Her other progeny include Rex Union (Duke of Marmalade), winner of the World Sports Betting Highland Night Cup, and Amanzimtoti, a full sister to Wild Coast and a winner of the Gr2 Western Cape Fillies Championship.
Beach Bomb will be running in Monmouth Race 5 on turf with Jairo Rendon in the irons.
Ed- we will advise on possible viewing times closer to raceday.
