Ridgemont’s triple Gr1 winning sire Jackson looks to have a serious classic contender for the Cape Summer Season in the shape of the Kieswetter family’s home-bred Pretty Young Thing who sauntered in to register her third win from six starts at Durbanville on Saturday.
Dynasty’s son Jackson
A winner of all of the G1 Investec Cape Derby, G1 Daily News 2000 and G1 Champions Cup, and from the same family as multiple champion sire Smart Strike and ill-fated South African champion Soft Falling Rain, Jackson has made a pleasing start to his stud career and his magnificent daughter looks to be a serious racehorse.
“She’s been very progressive and done nothing wrong. Greg (Cheyne) put her in a great position, and we’ll now go for the Western Cape Fillies Championship in a fortnight” said Brett Crawford, referring to the Gr2 contest at Kenilworth on 26 October.
