Sandown Stud’s high-class stallion Pathfork had a weekend to remember this week when the champion son of Distorted Humor came up with a treble of winners.
Not only did Pathfork mare Black Path win the sixth race at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on Saturday, but the stallion’s only two runners at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Sunday both won their respective races.

The Peter Wrensch owned and trained Black Path made a mockery of her 33-1 starting price when she won Saturday’s Lucky Fish Aviator Class 5 (F and M) (1500m).
Under Keanen Steyn, the seven-year-old stormed home down the inside of the track to get up close home and win by nearly half a length.

Bred by the Cape Leopard Trust, Black Path is out of the Black Minnaloushe mare Black Belvedere.

Pathfork struck twice at Hollywoodbets Greyville the following day when his daughters Mountainsofthemoon and Happy Fortune won races seven and eight respectively.
Under Craig Zackey, the Robbie Hill trained Mountainsofthemoon made all the running to claim Sunday’s Lucky Fish Fire Strike Class 5 (F and M) (1600m) by nearly three-parts of a length.
Bred by Sandown Stud, the five-year-old races for Messrs C Holwill, Robbie Hill & M U Tayob.

Four-year-old Happy Fortune made it two wins from her last four starts when she won the Hollywoodbets Bright Future Class 4 (F and M) (1400m).
Under Keagan de Melo, the Pathfork filly came with a strong late run which saw Happy Fortune get up and win, going away, by a neck.

Happy Fortune races for Classic Racing (Pty) Ltd (Nom: Mr Willie Pieters) (M Dhanai, A E Du Sart, J P Du Sart, Pramodh Ora) & Al Khayl Breeders (Pty) Ltd.

Another bred by Sandown Stud, Happy Fortune is out of the Almushtarak mare Joyful Dancer.

Sire of such G1 winners as Royal Victory, Main Defender, Mighty High and Pearl Of Asia, Pathfork has five lots on offer at the Premier Yearling Sale, and four yearlings on offer at the Cape Yearling Sale.
