Equus Champion and sensational young sire One World registered his 29th and 30th first crop winners at the Vaal on Tuesday.
That means that the son of Captain Al has equalled his champion Dad’s record of 30 individual 2yo winners in a term as well as his record of 40 2yo wins in a season.

One World filly Willowild won the Take A Bet Wina Numba Numba Juvenile Plate (Fillies), and another One World daughter, Kings Again, made a winning debut when she won the Play Soccer 6,10 and 13 Maiden Juvenile Plate (Fillies).
Third and second in two of her three previous starts, the Lucky Houdalakis trained Willowild got off the mark with a game performance.
Under Chase Maujean, the One World filly raced towards the back of the field early on.When asked the question, Willowild unleashed a fine turn of foot which propelled with a strong run between runners and she flew up to score by a short-head.
Bred by Alec Foster, Willowild is out of the Trippi mare Trip The Willow.
One World had a quickfire double when his daughter Kings Again won the very next race at the Vaal. The Corne Spies trained two-year-old was given a well timed ride from Marco Van Rensburg, and she stayed on gamely to score by a neck on debut.Bred and owned by Braam Van Huyssteen, Kings Again is out of the Dynasty mare Fortune Flies.
South Africa’s Leading First Season Sire for 2023-2024, One World’s impressive first crop is headed by dual Gr3 winner One Stripe, Gr3 Langerman runner up All Out For Six, and Lion Rampart and Miss World.
The latter finished first and second in the Listed Somerset 1200, with Lion Rampart also finishing second to One Stripe, in the Gr3 Winter Nursery.
Another One World son, Grand Crescendo, caught the eye when he finished a close up third in Sunday’s Gr1 World Pool Moment Of The Day Champion Stakes and he looks a classic prospect in the making.
One World has 12 lots on offer at the August Two Year Old Sale, including a full-brother (Lot 131) to the aforementioned Kings Again.
