The Drakenstein Stud based champion One World looks to have come up with a potentially top-class two-year-old in the form of World Attraction.
The latter maintained his unbeaten record when he ran out a convincing winner of the Listed TAB Storm Bird Stakes (1000m) run at Turffontein on Saturday.
World Attraction, who had won his only previous start by over seven and a quarter lengths, duly made it two out of two with a smooth performance in Sunday’s contest.
Under Callan Murray, the Mike and Mathew De Kock trained colt raced keen early before hitting the front close home.
From there, World Attraction kept galloping strongly to claim the 2026 Storm Bird Stakes by nearly a length and three-quarters.
Bred by Etienne Braun, Neville Cooper and Wayne Mealing, World Attraction races for ASSM Racing Syndicate (Nom: Mr A Chadha), Messrs M F de Kock, T Gujadhur, G Ragunan, Mrs N P Malherbe & Wernars Family.
World Attraction, who is out of the Vercingetorix mare Major Attraction, was a R1 500 000 buy from the 2025 Summer Sale.
His sire One World, South Africa’s Leading First Season Sire of 2023-2024 and Leading Second Season Sire of 2024-2025, has been responsible for at least one stakes winner in each of his first three crops.
The champion son of Captain Al has 12 lots on offer at the Premier Yearling Sale, and a further ten lots on sale at the National Yearling Sale.
