Varsfontein Stud’s homebred stallion Master Of My Fate looks to have another high-class filly in the form of Splicethemainbrace, who notched her ninth win from eleven starts when winning the R200 000 Listed Breeders Guineas run at Fairview on Friday.
An impressive winner of her two starts leading into Friday’s 1600m contest, the Alan Greeff-trained Splicethemainbrace was a 5-10 favouritel
Under regular rider Richard Fourie, the three-year-old raced keenly off a slow pace, before hitting the front 200m from home.
From there, Splicethemainbrace (5-10) cleared away to win a shade cosily by a length and a quarter in a time of 97,53 secs for the mile.
She beat stablemate Can’t Say No (40-1), with the grey Snaith raider Bela Vista (7-2) staying on for third.
Bred by Varsfontein Stud, Splicethemainbrace has won 9 of her 11 jumps, including four Listed races, having prevailed in all of the Listed East Cape Fillies Nursery, Listed East Cape Nursery and Listed Lady’s Slipper Stakes last season.
She took her stakes earnings to R715 625.
Splicethemainbrace, out of the Sail From Seattle mare Summer Cruise, was a R200 000 buy from the 2023 August Two Year Old Sale.
She is one of 28 stakes winners for her sire Master Of My Fate (Jet Master), who has ten lots on offer at the CRS Premier Yearling Sale and a further 20 yearlings set to go through the ring at the BSA National Yearling Sale.
The high-riding Ridgemont sponsored Richard Fourie rode 4 winners on the day, while Alan Greeff saddled 3.
