Ridgemont’s exciting young stallion Malmoos got yet another boost to his impressive female line when his half-sister Mascherina won the Listed Off To Stud Stakes (1600m) at Hollywoodbets Scottsville.
A four-year-old daughter of Gimmethegreenlight, Mascherina made it three wins from her last four starts with a convincing display on Sunday.
Under Tristan Godden, the Peter Muscutt-trained filly hit the front in Sunday’s Listed feature full of running and she went away to score by nearly half a length.
Bred and owned by Varsfontein Stud, Mascherina, also closely related to Sunday’s impressive winner Maphaka, has now won four of eight starts and earned R361 625 in prize money.
She is the third stakes winner produced by Fort Wood’s Listed Spook Express Handicap winner Justthewayyouare, who not only produced the top-class Malmoos but also G3 East Cape Derby/G3 Lonsdale Stirrup Cup winner Captain Splendid.
Justthewayyouare, a half-sister to successful sire Master Of My Fate, has a Vercingetorix colt (Lot 180) on offer at the August Two Year Old Sale.
Her star son Malmoos, who shares his champion sire Captain Al with current star sire One World, was a top-class racehorse who won South Africa’s Triple Crown in 2021.
Not only did Malmoos win the G1 World Sports Betting SA Derby, G1 World Sports Betting SA Classic and G2 World Sports Betting SA Classic in 2021, he also captured the G2 Avontuur Estate Concorde Cup and the G3 Palacebet.co.za Live Games Graham Beck Stakes.
