Maine Chance Farms’ star sire Vercingetorix continues to churn out eye-catching winners all over South Africa.
His latest exciting prospect is Immediate Edge, who made it two wins from two starts when winning at Turffontein on Thursday.
Trained, like Vercingetorix, by Mike De Kock, three-year-old Immediate Edge raced midfield early in Thursday’s Play Soccer 6,10 and 13 Maiden Plate (1600m).
Under Ryan Munger, Immediate Edge powered home down the inside of the track and stayed on to win by nearly a length and a half.
Bred by Shadwell Stud, Immediate Edge had won his only previous start when victorious at Turffontein in January.
Out of the Commands mare Anhaar, the colt was a R1 200 000 buy from the 2023 National Yearling Sale.
Immediate Edge belongs to Vercingetorix’s outstanding three-year-old crop, which has already produced 13 horses who have either won or been placed in black-type races.
Among the stars of Vercingetorix’s three-year-old crop this season include the graded stakes winners Cymric, Greaterix, Little Ballerina, Spumante Dolce and Zeitz.
South Africa’s Leading Sire for 2024-2025, Vercingetorix has four sons entered for the upcoming G1 Splashout Cape Derby.
