Owner Nick Jonsson said after the WSB Cape Town Met that Double Superlative had likely run his last race and added that he definitely had a future at stud.
This was made official today but Jonsson has not yet decided which stud farm the Twice Over five-year-old will stand at.
Double Superlative’s Met win was against all the odds.
He was diagnosed as unlikely to race after sustaining a serious tendon injury just before the Gr 1 Daily News 2000 as a three-year-old.
He later survived a terrible colic attack.
Justin Snaith pulled off an unbelievable training feat two Saturday’s ago with the help of Daniel Muscutt, who became the first overseas-based jockey to win Cape Town’s most famous race and it was voted by Turf Talk readers as the Emperor’s Palace Ride Of The Month.
