Two Year Olds Shine At Turffontein
The Tarry yard enjoyed a memorable weekend, with the stable saddling two winners at Hollywoodbets Greyville and two more at Turffontein the following day.
The yard looks to have some very promising two-year-olds this season, with the yard’s juvenile fillies Princess Keira and Alta Capitana running first and second in Sunday’s Highveld Winter Juvenile Fillies Stakes and Tin Pan Alley romping home in the Highveld Winter Juvenile Stakes.
Princess Keira and Alta Capitana running first and second in Sunday’s Highveld Winter Juvenile Fillies Stakes
One World filly Princess Keira got off the mark in taking fashion when she won on Sunday.
Under a fine ride from Kabelo Matsunyane, the Kestorm Investments owned two-year-old flew up late to deny stablemate Alta Capitana victory by a long neck and both fillies look nice prospects going forward.
Bred by Big Sky Ranch, the well-bred Princess Keira is out of the Kahal mare Princess Stephanie, whose numerous high-class relatives include the former Tarry stable star Princess Calla.
Tin Pan Alley
Tin Pan Alley, a son of The United States, showed his class when romping home in the Highveld Winter Juvenile Stakes.
Under the inform S’Manga Khumalo, the promising colt drew well clear in the closing stages of the 1400m contest to post a five and a quarter length win while accounting for well bred two-year-olds in the process.
Owned by Jarryd and Laurence Wernars in partnership with Dayalan Chinsammy, Tin Pan Alley has won two of four starts and he looks unlikely to stop here.
Sunday’s winner is out of the Querari mare The Entertainer, a half-sister to 2022 G2 Independent On Saturday Drill Hall Stakes winner Silver Operator and from the same family as Saturday’s Listed Hollywoodbets Sharks Gatecrasher Stakes winner Malmesbury Missile.
