While the late Dynasty is fast making a name for himself as a sire of sires, the Fort Wood sired Horse Of The Year is also making his mark as a broodmare sire.
This was underlined in no uncertain terms on Saturday, when rising star filly Amanzimtoti (Trippi) ran out an eye catching winner of the Gr2 Western Cape Fillies Championship, stamping herself a likely Gr1 prospect in the making.
Incidentally, Dynasty’s sire Fort Wood is the damsire of Gr1 South African Fillies Sprint winner Real Princess, another daughter of Trippi.

Amanzimtoti was not the only maternal granddaughter of Dynasty to impress on Saturday.
The 3yo Mike’s Chick (a daughter of Vercingetorix out of the Dynasty mare Strawberryshortcake) made it back-to-back wins when running out a clear-cut winner over 1600m at Turffontein and she too looks an interesting prospect going forward.

Not only is Dynasty damsire of Amanzimtoti, he also ranks as the damsire of Gr2 Western Cape Fillies Championship fourth, and Listed Tabonline.co.za Irridescence Stakes queen, Maria Querol (Querari).
The Dynasty effect was also seen to good advantage in last season’s Irridescence Stakes, with the former Horse Of The Year broodmare sire of the 1-2-4 finishers in the form of Maria Querol, Amanzimtoti and Oh So Squishy, respectively.
Amanzimtoti is the second graded stakes winner produced by Dynasty’s wonderful daughter Beach Beauty. The latter also rates as the dam of 2020 Gr2 World Sports Betting Guineas hero Wild Coast -a full-brother to Amanzimtoti.
Beach Beauty was arguably her sire’s very best daughter, with Dynasty the sire of a total number of six Gr1 winning daughters in all.
Another high-class daughter of Dynasty is Gr2 Ipi Tombe Challenge winner Demanding Lady. The latter, whose fourth dam produced the top-class stallion Silver Hawk (Roberto), made headlines when her son Charles (Trippi) made R6 000 000 to top the 2017 Cape Premier Yearling Sale. Charles went on to finish second in both the Gr1 Gbets Cape Derby and 2020 Gr2 Peermont Emperors Palace Charity Mile.
Charles’ full-brother is the useful Somerset Maugham – who ran third in both the Gr3 World Sports Betting Legal Eagle Stakes and Gr3 World Sports Betting Pocket Power Stakes last season.
Dynasty, whose daughter Indaba ranks as the dam of the speedy filly Cold Fact (What A Winter), is also the broodmare sire of high-class performers Divine Odyssey (Gr2 Colorado King Stakes, Gr3 Jubilee Handicap) and Springs Of Carmel (G2r Pospack SA Fillies Nursery), with the former a son of Oratorio and the latter a daughter of Captain Of All.
With a number of well-performed, and well-bred daughters yet to be represented on the racecourse, Dynasty looks poised for further success as a broodmare sire in the years to come.
