Hluuhluwe became their seventh individual stakes winner of the season.

However, they are currently behind Wilgerbosdrift and Mauritzfontein on the Breeders championship log by about R1,35 million.
Wilgerbosdrift and Mauritzfontein had a fine weekend themselves, winning the Gr 3 Betway Fillies Mile with their unbeaten homebred Gimme A Nother and a Rafeef filly they bred, Mrs Browning, won the Gr 3 Jo’Burg Tourism Carry On Alice Stakes.
Wilgerbosdtrift and Mauritzfontein are now on four individual stakes winners for the season.
