Varsfontein Stud’s top-class sire Master Of My Fate looks to have come up with another bright prospect in the form of Jan Van Goyen.
The latter made a big impression when romping home to a debut win at Turffontein on Tuesday.
Trained by Mike and Mathew de Kock, Jan Van Goyen turned Tuesday’s Champion Two-Year-Old Colt/Gelding: Esteemed Maiden Juvenile Plate (1160m) into a one horse race.
Under Callan Murray, the two-year-old powered away to win as he liked by four and a half lengths.
Bred by Mr & Mrs R J Trotter, Messrs R E Alexander & B B Campbell, Jan Van Goyen is out of the Oratorio mare Daydream Believer.
A R600 000 buy from the 2024 KZN Yearling Sale, Jan Van Goyen is the seventh two-year-old winner this season for his inform sire Master Of My Fate.
The latter has a cracking crop of two-year-olds this year, with Master Of My Fate’s other promising two-year-olds including G2 Wilgerbosdrift SA Fillies Nursery winner Golden Palm and Listed Dahlia Plate/Listed East Cape Fillies Nursery winner Anotherdanceforme.
Also the sire of this season’s G1 Betway Summer Cup winner Atticus Finch, Master Of My Fate has nine lots on offer at the upcoming KZN Yearling Sale.
