Khaya Stables has the right recipe

AT Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday there was a remarkable coincidence in that Dean Kannemeyer sent out two winners who were out of siblings of separate Equus Champion Broodmares.

In the second race over 1200m his Gimmethegreenlight filly Gimmeanotherviking is by Gimmethegreenlight out of Trippi mare Viking Princess, who was unplaced in her sole career start but she is a full sister to Equus Champion Broodmare Real Princess.

Princess Of Gaul

Later, Kannemeyer won the Gr 2 Western Cape Fillies Championship over 1400m with Princess Of Gaul, who is out of half-sister to Equus Champion Broodmare Halfway To Heaven.

Gimmeanotherviking was a bit tardily away in a 1200m maiden plate for fillies and mares on Sunday, but Craig Zackey switched her off and she sat right at the back of the 12 horse field.

She had a lot of ground to make up in the last 400m but was brought to the outside and began eating up the ground with an impressively big action.

She caught the leader late and won going away by 1,25 lengths.

Gimmeanotherviking is closely related to Equus Champion Sprinter Gimme A Prince and to the Hollywoodbets Durban July winner The Real Princess, being by the same sire, Gimmethegreenlight, out of a full sister to their dam Real Princess. The latter has also produced two other Gimmethegreenlights, Gr 3 winner Gimmie's Countess and the highly promising three-year-old colt Gimmie Rules, who has won two out of his three starts.
