Breeze Over (Muzi Yeni) wins the final feature of the day (Pic – JC Photos)
Klawervlei Stud’s four-time Gr1 winning sire Twice Over had a good day on Saturday. The champion was responsible for a pair of winners in South Africa on the day, including R225 000 Listed World Sports Betting Aquanaut Handicap winner Breeze Over.
The latter picked up his biggest win to date when making much of the running to win Saturday’s 2400m feature contest in convincing style.
Under a positive ride from Muzi Yeni, the Mike and Adam Azzie trained Breeze Over got to the front early in running and kept going resolutely.
The gutsy Breeze Over (16-1) showed no signs of stopping, and the son of Twice Over kept going gamely to win the Aquanaut Handicap by nearly a length and three quarters in a time of 155,19 secs for the 2400m.
Marauding Horde (6-1) came on late for second, and just under a length in front of Twenty Drachma’s (10-1).
The favourite Natyam ran out of the money.
Bred by Drakenstein Stud, Breeze Over, who took his earnings to over R700 000 on Saturday, is out of the Giant’s Causeway mare Lebombo Breeze. He has won 4 races with 17 places from his 26 starts.
Twice Over is also the sire of the uber consistent Tambourine Man, who showed plenty of courage when winning at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday.
Also sire of noted Gr1 winners such as Do It Again, See It Again, Double Superlative, and Sand And Sea, Twice Over has six lots on offer at the Premier Yearling Sale this week.
