In The Fast Lane wins the 2013 Cape Fillies Guineas (Picture: Sporting Post)
The Barnane Stud of the Kieswetter family have been in the news lately and they had more success tonight at Wolverhampton when their homebred No Nay Never filly Girl Racer, who is out of the former Justin Snaith-trained South African-bred Jet Master mare In The Fast Lane, ran out an easy winner of a seven furlong Novice Stakes.
The Willie Haggas-trained chestnut filly looks full of class and jumping from draw seven in the ten horse field she was taken into a prominent position by Cieran Fallon.
In the straight she showed a fine turn of foot and drew clear of the field to beat the favourite, a Charlie Fellowes-trained Frankel filly having her second start called Smoky Mountain, by an easy 3,75 lengths.
In The Fast Lane was out of Northern Guest’s daughter First Arrival, who was the Zimbabwean champion three-year-old filly and won two Grade 3s. That makes In The Fast Lane a half-sister to the like of Grade 1-winning sprinter Let’s Roc’N Roll (Muhtafal) as well as to Grade 2 winners Light The Lights (Western Winter) and Keep On Dancing (Silvano) and to Listed winners Pack Leader (Philanthropist) and Rock The Country (Western Winter) as well as to two stakes placed horses.
In The Fast Lane won the Grade 2 Choice Carriers Championship over 1600m, the Grade 1 Cape Fillies Guineas and the Grade 1 Woolavington 2000 before finishing a decent fifth in the 2014 Durban July.
She was then exported overseas and ran once at Newmarket.
The Kieswetters have given her every chance at stud.
Her first two foals were an Australian-bred colt and filly respectively by the four-times Australian Champion Sire, Snitzel.
They were both imported to South Africa and were trained by Brett Crawford.
Real Gone Kid won six races from 1200m to 1250m in just 13 starts and was beaten just a length when fifth in the Grade 1 Pongracz Cape Flying Championship.
He reached a merit rating of 112.
He is now standing at stud at the Kieswetter’s Ridgemont Highlands Stud.
Stiptelik is following suit and her two wins have been augmented by a 0,75 length second in the Grade 2 Cartier Sceptre Stakes over 1200m, a 0,60 length third in the Grade 2 Southern Cross Stakes over 1000m and also a Listed second.
USA-bred No Nay Never (Scat Daddy) won the Group 2 Norfolk Stakes in record time in his first start in Europe at the Royal Ascot meeting and was then an easy winner of the Group 1 Prix Morny at at Deauville. He also won a Group 3 at Keeneland in the USA.
This Coolmore stallion has made a massive impact, having already produced six Group 1 winners and was the Champion First Crop Sire of 2018 & Champion 2YO Sire of 2022.
It would be no surprise to see Girl Racer becoming the best of In The Fast lane’s foals to date such was the class she showed tonight.
She should pay to follow.
