Johannesburg, South Africa — The Wernars Family, D Chinsammy & TKP Racing (Nom: Trevelen Pillay)’s ERROL FLYNN (Master Of My Fate- What A Player) rewarded his supporters with a convincing victory in the final leg of the 2026 Highveld 3yo Winter Series, the TAB Sea Cottage Stakes (Gr3).
Content to track the field from the back of the pack, Keagan de Melo sent the 3yo son of Master Of My Fate on his way as the field turned for home. Making their move up the the inside rail, Errol Flynn made up ground on long-time leader Chronicle King, drawing level at the 350m mark. Chronicle King offered brief resistance, but Errol Flynn had the race firmly in hand, asserting his authority to salute the judge 1.75 lengths ahead of long-time leader Chronicle King in a time of 111.14s. Got The Feeling (Fanie Bronkhorst / K Strydom) finished 3rd.
The son of Master Of My Fate was bred by Sandra Michelle Ajax & Target Acquired of Paardeberg Stud. A R400,000 purchase from the 2024 BSA National Yearling Sale, Errol Flynn now has 5 wins and a place from seven career outings and earnings of R497,801.
