Maine Chance Farms’ inform stallion Querari enjoyed more feature race success on Saturday when his top-class son Questioning won the G2 Khaya Stables Diadem Stakes (1200m) at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth.
It was a fourth graded victory for Questioning, with the five-year-old having also triumphed in the G3 Cape Classic as well as two runnings of the G3 Matchem Stakes.

Runner up in the G1 L’Ormarins King’s Plate last time out, the Vaughan Marshall trained Questioning turned Saturday’s Diadem Stakes into a one-horse race.
Under Richard Fourie, the Querari gelding burst clear of his rivals 200m from home and stormed away to win as he liked by two and a half lengths.

Another son of Querari, I Am Giant, ran fourth in the Diadem Stakes.

Bred by Alec Foster, Questioning is owned by Greg and Gina Bortz, Mukund Gujadhur and the Wernars Family.

The gelding, who has won eight of 23 starts, is out of the Captain Al mare Wheredowego and is bred on the same Querari/Captain Al cross as fellow graded stakes winners Head Honcho and Kampala Campari.

Currently South Africa’s Leading Sire of 2YOs for 2025-2026, Querari went close to having a feature race double on Saturday with his daughter Queen Regent finishing second in the Listed OTT Cape Fillies Classic.
