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.

Ernie wins the 2016 Listed Sophomore Sprint at Kenilworth in 2016. Grant van Niekerk was the jockey

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.
