Sandown Stud’s high-class sire Soqrat received a handsome boost to his female line on Sunday.
Classy three-year-old Immediate Edge, whose dam Anhaar is a three-parts sister to Soqrat, showed his class when romping home to land the G3 4Racing Jubilee Stakes at Turffontein.
Trained by Mike and Mathew De Kock, the Vercingetorix gelding picked up his biggest win with a fluent performance in Sunday’s R250 000 contest.
Under Kabelo Matsunyane, Immediate Edge pulled clear in the closing stages to land the Jubilee Stakes by a widening two and a half lengths.
In the process, Immediate Edge accounted for such graded stakes winners as Olivia’s Way, Atticus Finch, and Son Of Raj.
Bred by Shadwell Stud, the gelding has won four of just six starts, with Immediate Edge’s previous victories including the Listed World Sports Betting Hawwaam Stakes.
His dam Anhaar is a Commands three-parts sister to Soqrat, Equus Champion 2YO Colt 2017-2018, and winner of all of the G1 Premiers Champion Stakes, G1 Cape Guineas and G1 H F Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut Stakes.
From the same female line as Linamix, Hyperion and Sir Tristram, Soqrat is enjoying a fine season with his flagbearers led by Listed World Sports Betting Sledgehammer winner I Salute You.
