Drakenstein Stud’s high-class sire, and former Horse Of The Year, Futura enjoyed a good day at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday.
Futura geldings Ahead Of The Facts and The Futurist finished first and fourth respectively in Saturday’s Listed Woolavington Stakes (2500m).
Trained by Justin Snaith, progressive four-year-Ahead Of The Facts picked up the biggest win of his career with a five star performance on Saturday.
Under Yuzae Ramzan, Ahead Of The Facts stormed home to get up and win the R225 000 Woolavington Stakes by two and a half lengths going away.
Bred by Syrilla Stud, Ahead Of The Facts races for Messrs Zev Blieden, Ryan Copeland, Darren Smith, J Murcia, D Musikanth & Garth Musikanth.
The gelding has won three of 12 starts, with Ahead Of The Facts finishing third, behind champion King Pelles, in last season’s G3 Durban Gold Vase.
Out of the Silvano mare Nicety, Ahead Of The Facts, who has earned R386 275 in stakes, is bred on the same Futura/Silvano cross as the dual stakes winner Ekoria.
His four time G1 winning sire Futura looks on course to enjoy another good season this year, with Futura also the sire of the promising three-year-old Future Free among others.
