KZN Sire New Predator Maintains Opening Salvo

All four of his runners have earned at every start

The exciting Blue Sky Thoroughbreds’ based New Approach stallion New Predator marked his third winner from just four runners when the Paul Lafferty-trained Calling All Angels won on debut at Hollywoodbets Scottsville on Wednesday.

Showing plenty of pace and courage on her 1100m debut, Calling All Angels (7-2) gave national log-leader Keagan de Melo the first of his 3 winners when she clocked 63,59 secs and fought off the challenge of her allowance-claiming fellow debutantes Sign Of Fate (17-2) and  Hot Pearl (5-1) to win by half a length in a rousing opening to the first of eight races at a sunny Hollywoodbets Scottsville on Wednesday.

From just four first crop runners, New Predator has now had three winners and another placer achieving two seconds and a third from three starts. So all four of the top-class racer’s progeny currently racing have yet to be out of the money in all of their starts to date!

A R225 000 National Yearling Sale graduate, Calling All Angels was bred by Bruce Le Roux and is out of the seven-time winning Windrush mare, The Angelus, who saw out a mile.

The Wernars family, who raced the multiple Gr1-placed Gr2 winner New Predator, own Calling All Angels in a partnership.
