Wilgerbosdrift’s homebred champion Hawwaam had a good day at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on Tuesday.From just three runners, the five time G1 winner had a pair of winners on Tuesday.
Hawwaam’s promising son Mordechai became his sire’s 11th two-year-old winner this season when he won the second race on Tuesday.
Making just his second start, the Justin Snaith trained Mordechai showed plenty of courage in winning Tuesday’s Lucky Fish New Fortune Maiden Juvenile Plate (1250m).
Under a strong ride from Craig Zackey, the Hawwaam colt fought back gamely to beat first-timer California Cat by a neck.
Mordechai, who had finished a close up fourth on debut, was bred by Narrow Creek Stud.
Owned by Itssa & IT Business Solutions (Pty) Ltd, the colt is out of the Flower Alley mare Lotus.
Hawwaam’s second success on Tuesday came when his daughter Liefling, a member of her sire’s first crop, won the fourth race at Hollywoodbets Durbanville.
Trained by James Crawford, the flashy grey powered home, under Callan Murray, to land the Race Coast Powered by Hollywoodbets Maiden Plate (1800m) by an emphatic two and a half lengths.
Bred by the Hemel ‘N Aarde Stud, Liefling, who is owned by Mr Oosthuizen, is out of the Dynasty mare Love Without End.
She is one of more than 30 winners, thus far, to have emerged from Hawwaam’s first crop, with this crop also responsible for G2 Camellia Stakes/G3 World Sports Betting Sycamore Sprint queen Perfect Miracle.
