Restricted to eligible graduates of the 2022 CTS Farm Sale, the R400 000 Hollywoodbets Scottsville Sunday headliner proved something of a walk in the park for Glen Kotzen’s Erupt filly Golden Tatjana, who led from start to finish to win the 1200m contest unextended.
Ridden by Muzi Yeni, Golden Tatjana (5-10) cruised in to beat the always second Qhawe Lami (10-1) by 3,50 lengths in a time of 69,07 secs.

Gauteng raider Palace Revolt (20-1) was a further 4,20 lengths back in third.
Raced in partnership by Mrs D Jithoo, Messrs R P Macnab & S Poriazis, Mr F L & Mrs P Oostendorp & 3 A Racing Syndicate (Nom: Mr W A W Bowman), the winner was bred by Peter de Beyer and is by Erupt (Dubawi) out of the four-time winning Silvano mare Goldandsilver.
Golden Tatjana has won 2 with 5 places from 8 starts for stakes of R670 553.
Erupt, whose first crop included Gr3 Protea Stakes/Listed Storm Bird Stakes winner Karangetang, is also responsible for this season’s high-class two-year-olds Dolcezza (2nd Hollywoodbets Super League Devon Air Stakes), Hot Pearl (2nd Gr3 Strelitzia Stakes) and Ripple Effect (2nd Ruffian Stakes).
Erupt, who shares his outstanding sire Dubawi with such star stallions as Night Of Thunder, New Bay, Zarak and the exciting Too Darn Hot, also hails from an outstanding family, with his numerous high-class relatives including champion sires Encosta De Lago, Flying Spur and Holy Roman Emperor.
