Moutonshoek’s inform stallion The United States came up with a pair of winners at Hollywoodbets Scottsville on Sunday.
The son of Galileo had also enjoyed success at Turffontein the day before, where his daughter Teo Torriatte won for a sixth time.
The United States colt Clintostar overcame considerable greeness in running when he won Sunday’s Tote For The Win Maiden Plate (1600m).
Under a great ride from Callan Murray, the three-year-old stuck his head down where it mattered most and got up to win narrowly.
Trained by Garth Puller, Clintostar races for Dj Jazzy D Racing (Pty) Ltd (Nom: Mr C Mooloo) & Mrs S C Sylvester.
Bred by Riethuiskraal Stud, Sunday’s winner is out of the Trippi mare Sao Paulo and is thus bred on the same cross as G2 winner Sheela.
The United States is also the sire of Dark Matter, a ready winner of Sunday’s Gallop Form Class 4 (F and M) (1000m). Under Tristan Godden, three-year-old Dark Matter romped home to win by over three lengths for the Hill stable. Bred by Mr Bundhun, the promising filly made it back to back wins on Sunday, with Dark Matter having won two of just four starts.
Owned by Preggie Somasundram, Dark Matter is out of the Where’s That Tiger mare Perfect Tigress.
The United States, who shares his sire Galileo with the likes of Frankel, Teofilo and Australia, is from one of the hottest families in the stud book.
His full-sister Salsa is the dam of this season’s G1 Paddy Power Pretty Polly Stakes/G1 Qatar Nassau Stakes winner Whirl, with Whirl currently second favourite for the 2025 G1 Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.
Another star three-year-old hailing from this family is Henri Matisse, winner of the G1 Emirates Poule d’Essai des Poulains (French 2000 Guineas). The latter’s third dam is Mill Princess, the fourth dam of The United States.
The latter has eight lots on offer at the August Two Year Old Sale, including a full-brother (Lot 278) to Teo Torriatte.
Ascot Stud’s successful resident stallion Global View enjoyed a double at Hollywoodbets Scottsville on Sunday.
The son of Galileo had five runners on the day, and none of his five starters finished worse than fourth.
Global View’s first success on Sunday came when his three-year-old daughter Pepper Tree romped home to a convincing success in the fourth race.
Under Kobeli Lihaba, the Warwick/Weiho Marwing trained filly stormed home to claim the Race Coast Maiden Plate (F and M) (1750m) by nearly three lengths.
Bred by Ascot Stud, Pepper Tree, who races for Mr Koekemoer, was making just her fourth start on Sunday.
Out of the Rich Man’s Gold mare Coral Tree, Sunday’s winner was an R80 000 purchase from the 2024 National Yearling Sale.
Global View is also the sire of Global Impact, who won Sunday’s Online Form Guide www.gallop.co.za Class 5 (1400m).
Trained and owned by Mano Pandaram, the six-year-old stayed on strongly, under Mxolisi Mbuto, to score by just over a length and a quarter.
Now a four time winner, Global Impact was bred by the Missing U Syndicate.
His sire Global View, whose progeny include multiple G1 winning champion Dave The King, shares his legendary sire Galileo with the mighty Frankel. The latter came up with his 38th G1 winner when his son El Cordobes won the G1 Resorts World Casino Sword Dancer Stakes at Saratoga on Saturday.
Global View, South Africa’s Leading First Season Sire of 2019-2020, has a single lot on offer at the August Two Year Old Sale.
Rachel Venniker rode a double for Michael Roberts at Sunday’s Hollywoodbets Scottsville meeting and were the only other double scorers besides The United States and Global View.
