Ascot Stud’s blue blooded stallion Global View enjoyed a good pay at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Saturday.
His four-year-old son Dance King picked up the biggest win of his career to date when he landed Saturday’s Listed Lonsdale Stirrup Cup (2400m).
Under Wesley Marwing, the Weichong Marwing trained gelding made a mockery of his 16-1 starting price with a dominant performance.
Dance King raced mid field early on in the Lonsdale Stirrup Cup, before being set alight down the inside.
The son of Global View powered into the lead and went away to score by over two and a half lengths.
Bred by Ben Botha, Dance King, who has won four of 22 starts, races for the 1 More We Stay Syndicate.
Saturday’s winner, who is out of the Silvano mare Cotillion, was an R80 000 buy from the 2023 August Two Year Old Sale.
South Africa’s Leading First Season Sire of 2019-2020, Global View could enjoy more big race success next weekend. His champion son Dave The King, Horse Of The Year in 2023-2024, will bid for a third G1 Hollywoodbets Gold Challenge win should he line up in that Hollywoodbets Greyville feature next Saturday.
A son of Galileo, and from the family of recent US G1 winner Stark Contrast, among others, Global View has a single lot on offer at the KZN Yearling Sale.
