Just hours after his sister Freedom Charter won the Gr3 Poinsettia Stakes at Greyville, former Cape based 2016 Sophomore Sprint winner Ernie broke the Champ de Mars 1450m record in Mauritius last Saturday.
He clocked 1 m 27,53 secs.
This was Ernie’s fourth victory since arriving on the island in 2017. He is trained by Jean Michel Henry and was piloted by Cédric Ségeon.
Ernie was purchased by Mike Bass Racing for just R80 000 on the 2014 CTS March Yearling Sale and is a second crop son of Fort Wood stallion Elusive Fort out of the one-time winning Captain Al mare, Betty Burke.
