The Sandown Stud based Pathfork has made a flying start to the new season and the G1 winning son of Distorted Humor came up with another eye catching winner when his son Trade War made a winning debut at Hollywoodbets Scottsville on Sunday.

Trained by Nathan Kotzen, the gelded three-year-old proved far too strong for his rivals with an emphatic display in Sunday’s Win Big With Your Soccer Knowledge www.tabgold.co.za Maiden Plate (1200m).

Under an inform Muzi Yeni, Trade War skipped clear in the closing stages to go away and win by nearly two and a half lengths.

Bred by the Riethuiskraal Stud, Trade War is out of the Bellotto mare Bellotto Flash and he was a R60 000 buy from the 2020 National Yearling Sale.

Irish Champion Pathfork, who like Dubawi and El Prado won the G1 National Stakes, is a proven sire of high-class gallopers with his flagbearers thus far headed by the G1 winners Mighty High and Pearl Of Asia.
The half-brother to US classic winner War Of Will has a single lot on offer at the 2021 CTS Ready To Run Sale.
