Sandown Stud’s triple G1 winning stallion, and Equus Champion, Soqrat, looks to have come up with a  promising sort in the form of Swaziland.
The latter made a smashing start to his racing career when he made a winning debut at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on Sunday.

Trained by Justin Snaith, three-year-old Swaziland made a mockery of his 25-1 starting price in Sunday’s Join The Race Coast Turf Club Maiden Plate (1250m).
Under an inform JP Van Der Merwe, the gelded sophomore produced a fine turn of foot when storming home to win on debut by a length and a quarter.

Bred by Drakenstein Stud, Swaziland is out of the Legislate mare Swazi Queen.
Sunday’s winner is owned by Greg and Gina Bortz and Leon Ellman.

Swaziland was a R1 000 000 buy from the 2025 National Yearling Sale.

His G1 Cape Guineas winning sire Soqrat had also enjoyed success at Turffontein one day earlier when his son Sergeant Soqrat won the seventh race on the card. Under Jacey Botes, the Xander/Corne Spies trained four-year-old powered home down the inside of the track to claim Saturday’s Equus Champion Miler: Questioning MR 72 Handicap by a length and a quarter.
Bred by Shadwell Stud, Sergeant Soqrat, who is out of the Exceed And Excel mare Mohallela, is owned by Messrs D G Bailie, X Spies & Adv J J B Schutte.
