Sort after Drakenstein Stud stallion What A Winter has made a remarkable start to the new season, which is only two-and-a-half weeks old.
He has already had eleven individual winners, including the Listed Off To Stud stakes (1600m)-winner Humdinger.
The latter provided proof that the former Equus Champion Sprinter is versatile as a sire and they run over all distances.
He even had a runner in the Gold Cup.
What A Winter finished in fifth place on the national log last season.
He had 92 individual winners of 155 races and six stakes winners of seven races.
Among his horses to follow this season are the Eric Sands-trained Hithemhardsunshine and the Peter Muscutt-trained sprinter Isivunguvungu.
