Strong legacy for Jet Master
The Mercury
|September 04, 2025
THE legacy of seven-times Champion stallion Jet Master is still felt strongly in South African racing and two of his sons, Master Of My Fate and Lance, produced Gr 1 winners last season.
Atticus Finch
Master Of My Fate's Gr 1 winners were Betway Summer Cup winner Atticus Finch and Golden Palm and Jan van Goyen, with the latter pair being named Equus Champion two-year-old filly and Equus Champion two-year-old colt respectively.
The only horse to have beaten Golden Palm to date is her Alan Greeff-trained stablemate Anotherdanceforme and the latter is also by Master Of My Fate.
Anotherdanceforme is unbeaten and ended the season with a fine win in the Gr 2 SplashOut Golden Slipper, where she beat Quickstepgal, who is by Vercingetorix out of a Jet Master mare.
Quickstepgal went on to be named KZN Champion two-year-old, having won the Gr 3 Strelitzia Stakes and the Listed Devon Air Stakes.
Lance produced Quid Pro Quo, the Equus champion two-year-old filly from the 2023/2024 season and she was also named the 2023/2024 KZN Horse Of The Year.
Last season Quid Pro Quo won the Gr 2 Betway Dingaans, beating the boys easily, before disappointing when a half-a-length third in the Gr 1 Wilgerbosdrift Gauteng Fillies Guineas.
Piere Strydom had called her the "best filly I have ever ridden" after the effortless but devastating turn of foot she had shown in the Dingaans.
Spumante Dolce (Vercingetorix) and VJ's Angel (Gimmethegreenlight) were the conquerors of Quid Pro Quo and Spumante Dolce then became the talking horse.
