Vaughan Marshall’s KZN Champions Season contenders were trucked from the Cape to Summerveld about a month ago and Vaughan reports that they have settled in really nicely and the string is generally doing very well.
Gold Circle reports that amongst them is the exciting CAPTAIN OF STEALTH, unbeaten in 2 starts as a juvenile, winning by 6 and 7 lengths respectively.

The son of Captain Al was then side-lined for 10 months with a serious injury.
His comeback is on track but Vaughan is taking his time with him and he is being aimed at a Listed feature over 1600m in early July.
Some notes on the others:
- LABYRINTH:
A really nice daughter of Oratorio who has won 3 of her last 4 starts. She is in a very good space, improving nicely and is being aimed at the WSB Fillies Guineas and the Woolavington 2000.
- BINOCHE:
A speedy daughter of Vercingetorix and a winner of 3 races and a second from only 4 starts. Highly regarded and doing exceptionally well at home but her first big test will come in the Poinsettia Stakes. Depending on how she performs there, she could be a runner in the SA Fillies Sprint.
As always Vaughan has a number of exciting juveniles including JOSEPH BARRY & RASCALLION who finished 2nd and 3rd behind Erik The Red in the Nursery at Kenilworth on Derby Day.
Joseph Barry went down narrowly and was perhaps a little unlucky but Rascallion, who was making its debut, really caught the eye when finishing strongly for 3rd and Vaughan is excited by this one’s prospects.
- NAVAL SECRET:
Is an unraced 2yo brother to the likes of All Is Secret and Can You Keep It Secret and Vaughan is optimistic about his future. We look forward to seeing him in action.\
