South Cape was bred at our stud in Sussex
and was the first foal from our mare Aunt
Ruby.
He is a
winner of 9 races and as well as being a regular at Royal Ascot he
has been in the winners enclosure many times including the
ROCKINGHAM at York (a listed race). Last year he won for us at
Nottingham and Ascot, both races over a mile and has been a
revelation at this distance this
season.
In fact, it was possibly his best season
yet because he was also placed at Goodwood twice, Windsor and
Ascot. At Ascot in September he finished a head second, beating
subsequent Cambridgeshire winner Credit Swap into third. His latest
win at Nottingham on 27th October was in a race he won last year,
but this year he won off a handicap mark 7lb
higher.
The horse hasn't really fired so far in
2011 and he is possibly coming towards the end of his career but we
would love to see him gain his 10th win. He has dropped down the
handicap but he is still working with enthusiasm on the gallops so
fingers crossed he will return to form
soon!
